Being a writer - even a best-selling one - is usually not anywhere near as

public as being a movie star, at least not when I'm out in 'real life' like this. Not that I don't use what fame I have, every chance I get, to help sell more books.
Nancy Pickard

I want to go and get more goals, create my chances for the team, and do my best for Tottenham Hotspur.
Harry Kane

Heartless zealotry, whether from the religious right or from the teachers' union on the left, is always troubling.
Campbell Brown

Wars often begin with enthusiastic vigor but typically settle into costly, dirty business characterized for soldiers by fear, frustration, and loneliness.
Stanley A. McChrystal

The IRS issued guidance for virtual currencies on March 25, 2014 that stated virtual currencies, including Bitcoin, are to be treated as property for federal tax purposes. This requires capital gains on virtual currencies to be recorded and reported. The Bitcoin Foundation says this could lead to unrealistic reporting.
Perianne Boring

I believe those that produce the least emissions in autos will also be those who have the greatest success worldwide.
Angela Merkel

If you don't know about the 'black male code,' you should. It's something black boys learn early, even before adolescence. It goes, in part, like this: Even though you're not a criminal, some people assume you are, especially if you're wearing certain clothes. Never argue with the police, but protect your dignity and take pride in humility.
Donna Brazile

If science has a lot to do with what works, then clearly there's much about today's social and economic setup that isn't scientific, because things aren't working very well for a majority of the world's population or the environment.
Jacque Fresco

You're only as old as you feel, and I feel pretty young. I've got one gear, and till it gets reversed, I'm going all out.
A.J. Styles

I think my high-school acting career lasted a day.
Dennis Farina

That's what I think our jobs as parents are, to educate as much as possible...

I tell them to follow their bliss. The people who follow their bliss in this world tend to be the more happier people. Art Alexakis The only time I waste is time I spend doing something that, in my gut, I know I shouldn't. If I choose to spend time playing video games or sleeping in, then it's time well spent, because I chose to do it. I did it for a reason - to relax, to decompress or to feel good, and that was what I wanted to do. Simon Sinek Meat workers may have been looked down upon socially, but at least they were well-paid and were a fit and lively bunch as a result of hard, honest physical work. Michael Leunig I decided that I wanted a farm back in 1940 when I was with the Dodgers. I tried to find one within commuting distance of New York. Larry MacPhail Oh God, are you supposed to collect things? I don't collect things. I like throwing things away. Caitlin Moran My first phone was two tin cans tied together with string, and it worked pretty good. Do

It had to happen to me sometime: sooner or later, I would have to lose

sight of the cutting edge. That moment every technical person fears - the fall into knowledge exhaustion, obsolescence, techno-fuddy-duddyism - there was no reason to think I could escape it forever. Ellen Ullman Innovation and its allure can be dangerous. It can draw you away from the user, from the intended outcome, and may be the ultimate demise of otherwise great intentions. Mark Brand My voice is different, but I don't think I'm the only one with a different take on pop music. Charli XCX In South Africa, we drive on the left-hand side, and most of the cars are standard, so I learned with a full-gear transmission with a clutch and hill starts. I've never driven an automatic until I came to Canada. Jodi Balfour Mexico has 44 treaties with other countries that make it very advantageous to do international shipping from Mexico rather than from the United States. Wilbur Ross Winning HOYS set me up for the future and prepared me for riding in front of lots of

Given Pounds and five years, and an ordinary man can in the ordinary course, without

any undue haste or putting any pressure upon his taste, surround himself with books, all in his own language, and thence forward have at least one place in the world. Augustine Birrell Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them. Linus Pauling A Bush Administration will, I believe, enjoy a better relationship with the new Congress, although President-elect Bush will be faced with real challenges in getting along with the Congress. Richard V. Allen I once thought that I was the only man that persevered to be the friend of the white man, but since they have come and cleaned out our lodges, horses, and everything else, it is hard for to believe the white man any more. Black Kettle When you finish a poem, it clicks shut like the top of a jewel box, but prose is endless. I haven't experienced an awful lot of clicking shut! Kenneth Koch I thin

As a Midlander and a big walker, I'd always loved ridge and furrow

fields, the plough-marked land as it was when it was enclosed. It is the landscape giving you a story of lives that ended with the arrival of sheep. Jim Crace I think it's really rare to see women on television who are brilliant, selfish, vain, fallible - and I feel like I have all those capacities in myself, so it's good to see people in the media representing all of those things. Kerry Bishe I never went after fame. It fell into my lap. Caitlyn Jenner My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director. Daniel Radcliffe I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet. Craig Venter The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown all over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet. George William Russell I always said if I played a drag queen, I'd want to create a template with the realness they talk about in 'Paris Is Burning.' Billy P

When I was 17, I worked in a mentoring program in Harlem designed to improve

the community. That's when I first gained an appreciation of the Harlem Renaissance, a time when African-Americans rose to prominence in American culture. For the first time, they were taken seriously as artists, musicians, writers, athletes, and as political thinkers. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I only make movies that are interesting to me. Brian Grazer I wouldn't say I was organised at all. I just have to prioritise. Is it more important for them to be organised, or to have their dinner, do you know what I mean? Jo Brand The courage in journalism is sticking up for the unpopular, not the popular. Geraldo Rivera A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live. Bertrand Russell I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image. David Bowie I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring. Jav

Integrating breakthrough technology into everyday products is always a challenge; at the same time, this

is exactly how design makes tech products easily adoptable in life. Yves Behar I enjoy music that is commercial. I think that in order for music to be heard in a lot of different situations, you have to always consider that. Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music, and you always have to keep that in mind. It's not so much financial as making sure it gets the shot and is heard on the radio. Babyface There used to be a tradition within the Hispanic community that, regardless of your political party, you would support undocumented immigrants. That ended with Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. Jorge Ramos The armed citizen made America free, and the armed citizen will keep America free! David A. Clarke, Jr. History never repeats itself in the same way. Ehud Barak I like Jay Z, Journey, and Kings of Leon. Alex Rodriguez I grew up in a small town where we played around on motorcycles and things, but it really started when I got old enough. I think I was obsessed w

The first three years, I don't think I would leave my hotel room outside of

tennis, because I was like, 'I got to rest, I got to rest.' It was like sort of a paranoia to do everything as best as I can. Milos Raonic I can read in any book and newspaper about the city of Detroit, but I want to hear what the people in Detroit have to say about Detroit. My best education is actually talking to people. Erin Cummings I believe we move in soul groups; we meet the same people over different lifetimes; we have to finish the unfinished business with those people. And when we do, they walk away from our lives. Shilpa Shetty Some women can't stand being pregnant, getting big and bloated, and hauling around a giant stomach, and some women, for reasons probably understood by Darwin, love it. Rich Cohen I remember being a teenager and seeing Seymour Cassel across a crowded room and being incredibly star struck, and not having the courage to say, 'Hello.' Ira Sachs I'm the little half-black, half-Jewish girl who was odd and awkward. I tr

Songs like the Buck Owens tune, for example, are very simple and straightforward, and recording

it really gave me a chance to get into and get a sense of Buck's personality, a feel for that whole Bakersfield sound. Juice Newton There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time. Napoleon Bonaparte He is great enough that is his own master. Joseph Hall The universal narrator knows all and can enter a character's head any time he chooses. Arthur Herzog In the case of Marilyn and John Kennedy, I think they did affect change. Sally Kirkland

I love each of my kids in unique ways and try to meet their different needs so

they can thrive and be their personal best. Yolanda Hadid I lived in Paris for about nine months. It was an experience. Sara Sampaio I don't need a pool room with medals and everything hanging up. Sonny Bill Williams I think it's important to do whatever makes you feel your best. Michelle Carter I went through a phase when I was watching a lot of foreign films, just itching to get out of the suburbs and explore. Phillipa Soo I don't believe that a piece of paper will excuse my actions. In the end, only my actions will. Frank Abagnale The Russian economy is a one-trick pony. They're totally focused on natural gas and oil. Kelly Ayotte Klopp would reproach me for not tracking back properly. I took things on board, and I listened to him. I worked hard in training; I stayed behind after training. That's what helped me to shine in the Bundesliga because I scored quite a lot of goals despite some difficult games in the league. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang I do not want to

I never thought of myself as a wealthy person. I've thought of myself as a

person who has had a lot of luck. I don't have the same stress that other people have, but there are too many things I could have done differently if wealth was what I was after. If I was all about money, I would have lived in L.A. Alec Baldwin I'm in great shape, back-in-my-football-days shape. I've worked hard to get to this point. Brian Jordan I've always talked to the media. I'm pretty respectful to the media. Bryce Harper I think part of the problem is the education system doesn't work - it's not accountable. Luis Guzman I love getting on You Tube to look at the old comics. I am in my element seeing guys like Jack Benny and Phil Silvers give interviews. Bruce Forsyth I'm an economist by training. And I know that what works is a permanent increase in buying power. Sarah Steelman Yes, we need euthanasia, for certain cases where people are in comas or too immobile to even press a button. Jack Kevorkian Music, in the past few years... anyt
