Back in the day, years ago, in 1988, the only TV I watched was 'Doctor

Who' because I had children and two full-time jobs, and 'Doctor Who' was the exact length of time it took to do my nails, so I would watch 'Doctor Who' once a week!
Diana Gabaldon

The bad boys get all the best lines.
Ian McShane

I find myself working out at hotel gyms quite regularly - just so that I can keep up with my training.
Lee Byung-hun

It is not possible to completely eliminate mediation between you as an observer and the history you are trying to understand.
Ken Liu

We've dreamed of growing our company into something like Richard Childress has. We're working really hard, and we're getting more competitive. Hopefully, that becomes a reality.
Robby Gordon

It's crazy because, you know, my parents always want me to watch old films to make me realize how amazing some of the older actors are. And I was obsessed as soon as I watched 'Stand by Me.'
Millie Bobby Brown

Honestly, it's important to not take this whole process of life on this planet too seriously. And you need games to remind you that every aspect of your experience on this planet is a game. And you have to be a good sport. You have to strategize, and you have to have fun.
RuPaul

I'm a natural blonde. I was a towhead as a kid, and then it got ashier when I was 18.
Laura Dern

I grew up with an Italian family in an era when a woman's path was laid out for her: You got married and had children. Simple, right? Then I got to a point around the age of 30 when I had three little children and was a single mom, and I realized life was not so simple.
Joy Mangano

I'm a pretty hard worker.
Jennifer Garner

I knew that people were going to talk about it, I knew it was embarrassing,

and I knew it was a big deal. But did I think that it was going to be this thing that followed me for, you know, the next years to come? I guarantee you, 25 years from now, I'll be known as the girl that lip synced on 'SNL.' But, you know, it was a weird thing. Not fun. Ashlee Simpson Even if your job is a professional singer, we still dork out at home. Sheena Easton Laughter is the best medicine - unless you're diabetic, then insulin comes pretty high on the list. Jasper Carrott I think people who write for kids, we have that ability to go back into our own lives. Judy Blume Science fiction, outside of poetry, is the only literary field which has no limits, no parameters whatsoever. Theodore Sturgeon Al Jolson was one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived. Desi Arnaz If you're going to do something, do it well. And leave something witchy. Charles Manson Cinema is so slow and boring compared to television. Steven Moffat You cannot furth...

There is constant talk about the intermarriage crisis: who is a Jew and how

we define a Jew. That doesn't go over well with young Jews trying to figure out whether they want to be a part of this thing or not. Tahl Raz I've been studying voice for quite a while, especially opera, for at least seven or eight years. Shelly Burch Like anything, I remember who I work for. You work for the people who sent you to office. Darryl Glenn For the bourgeoisie, the main danger against which it had to be protected, that which had to be avoided at all costs, was armed uprising, was the armed people, was the workers taking to the streets in an assault against the government. Michel Foucault My grandmother is a huge part of my life. She's just a great woman: a woman of the church. Chance The Rapper I don't think we can fix poverty without fixing housing, and I don't think we can address housing without understanding landlords. Matthew Desmond One of my best friends since I was eleven years old is a gay man, and I knew his struggle. It was a tough life, you ...

Tough times have always lent themselves to nativist sentiments and closed-door policies. But in the

case of highly skilled immigrants, these policies are a recipe for stagnation. James Surowiecki I use that as my responsibility on the show, to be the pragmatist. Fisher Stevens I don't have to put on shoulder pads and run out there and let somebody hit on me a little bit. Emmitt Smith Nothing scares me but God. Lil Wayne Not to like ice cream is to show oneself uninterested in food. Joseph Epstein One's life has many compartments. Harold Pinter Government just simply can't do everything for everyone. Jan Brewer I now walk into the wild. Christopher McCandless No, I'm not a scientologist. Katharine McPhee I always look for reality. I look for plain truthful roles. Jim Caviezel

Fantasy is my favorite genre for reading and writing. We have more options than anyone

else, and the best props and special effects. That means if you want to write a fantasy story with Norse gods, sentient robots, and telepathic dinosaurs, you can do just that. Want to throw in a vampire and a lesbian unicorn while you're at it? Go ahead. Patrick Rothfuss And there should not be a limit on the creation of new public schools. We ought to expand choices for parents. John Engler I think that where I've watched a movie go wrong, it's usually because the dread committee has been interfering with it. John le Carre Nothing is less predictable than the development of an active scientific field. Charles Francis Richter You've got to guard against speaking more clearly than you think. Howard Baker Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up. Mahatma Gandhi Four personalities are bound to clash. John Deacon I was a small kid from Huntington, Long Island. I n...

If the film is a hit then everyone shares the success. If it is going

to be a disaster then it might as well be because of me, not because of somebody else. Salman Khan Is Europe going to be breaking? I don't think so. I think the euro will stay. I think at the end of the day Europeans will find the solutions in order to hold Europe together. Carlos Ghosn Attending that Convention and talking with those people and many others convinced me that I should become a blogger in my efforts to reform the government and uphold the integrity of the Constitution and the laws made in furtherance thereof. John Jay Hooker I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes. Richard Krajicek I never read reviews at all. I'm proud of the work I did. Nicole Kidman I only understand friendship or scorched earth. Roger Ailes It's a wise thing to hold back. Julian Clary I don't like violence. Katey Sagal I get nervous every time, for every single performance, before getting up on that stage. Thia Megia Those early days of come...

My father's encouragement is what has brought me this far, because when I grew up

I wanted to be like him, and I knew I had that ability to become an athlete. Being an Olympian is one of the greatest things, and being an Olympic gold medallist is one of the most prestigious titles in the world. David Rudisha The 'American Idol' and 'X Factor' shows, they're great shows. But I think I need to make a show like that, directed straight to the hood, to the artists that don't get the attention, that don't have the money to make themselves representable. Snoop Dogg So just as I want pilots on the planes that I fly, when it comes to monetary policy, I want to think that there is someone with sound judgement at the controls. Martin Feldstein Me and my sisters all have such different body types. Kim Kardashian Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating? Cate Blanchett Boston is safe. And we're going to keep it safe. Thomas Menino I think people know that I've got a good heart. David Hass...

Whether the prayer of Seneca was granted we do not know; but, as we do

not again hear of Marcus, it is probable that he died before his father, and that the line of Seneca, like that of so many great men, became extinct in the second generation. Frederic William Farrar There is a formula that allows you to write a decent song. But a song like 'You're All I Need to Get By,' it just writes itself. Valerie Simpson A sudden dart when a little over a hundred feet from the end of the track, or a little over 120 feet from the point at which it rose into the air, ended the flight. Orville Wright Winning excuses everything. Cam Newton You won't catch me giving clear lectures. Donald Norman Faith is a state of openness or trust. Alan Watts Man is a make-believe animal: he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part. William Hazlitt To some people heavy metal is Motorhead and to others it's Judas Priest. Glenn Danzig In Paris, everybody is in black! But you know, in Ukraine everyone wears bright colours. Olga Ku...

I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force

it on the world at large - especially this world, so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men. Julianna Baggott The elusive truth is that there is nothing stress-producing in the physical world. Things simply are. Molecules move. Light and sound appear. Andrew J. Bernstein I love being domestic: making coffee, just putting on a record, and just sitting, not doing anything. It's so great. Sharon Van Etten On the Internet, information from Indiana and India is equally cheap and easy to access. Ethan Zuckerman The soul has many motions, body one. Theodore Roethke I did think there were one or two referees who had a personal thing against me. It wasn't them versus Celtic - it was them against me! I just think they wanted to take me on. Gordon Strachan The first job of a writer is to be honest. Irvine Welsh I love to doubt as well as know....

So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the

possibility of change. This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one centre. All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant. Henry David Thoreau Business has only two functions - marketing and innovation. Milan Kundera Hollywood is where they shoot too many pictures and not enough actors. Walter Winchell States are as the men, they grow out of human characters. Plato I try to stay focused on my life and do try not to be brought into the Hollywood fantasy. Jennifer Connelly The dog that trots about finds a bone. Golda Meir I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boats. James Hetfield Men create the gods in their own image. Xenophanes For every benefit you receive a tax is levied. Ralph Waldo Emerson

I know when I go outside, there'll be a van or two and they'll probably

follow us four out of seven days a week, trying to get something. But I'm just going across town and I know they're just wasting their day, so it doesn't bother me anymore. Brad Pitt Americans believe that people should work hard and get ahead on their own, but when disaster strikes and they need help with retirement or disability, Americans as a whole should come to their aid. Jacob Hacker Personally, I just got one of these Vonage IP phones. It's actually pretty cool. It comes with one of these Cisco ATA routers where you just plug an analog handset in. Rob Glaser I'm a writer first and an editor second... or maybe third or even fourth. Successful editing requires a very specific set of skills, and I don't claim to have all of them at my command. Lynn Abbey The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. Jim Morrison But the p...
