For me, the people who doubt me only fuel me to prove them wrong. I

want to prove to them that I am better than they think I am and that I deserve to be on top and I deserve to be World Heavyweight Champion.
Rey Mysterio

I got a lot of restaurants I like to eat at, smash out some food.
Steven Adams

We should make sure that unscrupulous schools do not prey on uninformed students, leaving them with high debt and useless degrees.
Raghuram Rajan

We just have to be careful of our actions as world citizens.
Mike D

I'm a little kid from St. Louis, Missouri, on the inside.
Sterling K. Brown

I want to be known as Terminator 2.
Miriam Defensor-Santiago

I have written favourably in support of subsidy for the arts since the 1960s, and I continue to believe absolutely in subsidy, as I do in the BBC licence fee.
Melvyn Bragg

You don't really grow up until you quit playing sports.
Richard Linklater

We have the great fans in Detroit. We've got a great ballpark, great stadium.
Miguel Cabrera

Kiss is a super - they are total businessmen. They pride themselves on it.
Paul Rudd

I call it an old-fashioned seafood house for the new millennium. We are trying to

update what we know as old fish houses and places like that, which are great, but I want to give it a new, fresh look with updated versions of the classics we all love. Todd English Poor men's reasons are not heard. Thomas Fuller Had Calhoun been advised by me, he would have been the most popular man in the United States. Duff Green The secret to humor is surprise. Aristotle I'm always looking for a low-budget script with an interesting character to play. Walter Koenig I dream of you to wake; would that I might Dream of you and not wake but slumber on. Christina Rossetti Honor among thieves is the ancestor of all honor. John McCarthy

This battle for 'common-sense' gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason.

All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, 'gun control' legislation. Good news - if you're a crook. Larry Elder I drive a lot. Just for pleasure. Sometimes I'll get in the Cadillac and drive around the city or the country, kind of trying to get lost basically. Y'know, just see where roads lead. Frank Black You and I will meet again, When we're least expecting it, One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won't say goodbye my friend, For you and I will meet again. Tom Petty We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world. J. William Fulbright Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. Mary Shelley Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such fr...

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...

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 ...

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...

Persuasiveness is really just about getting your ideas across without being forceful.

It's a skill that can be learned and is useful for anyone who works in a team environment. Amanda de Cadenet I was an extra in a Tia Carrere music video. Adam Scott When people start to think they're figuring out 'The Vampire Diaries,' it switches on you. Kat Graham It's a huge blessing to know you've done something that has affected people the way 'The Matrix' has. It's like, there's 'Star Wars,' and then there's 'The Matrix.' It's cool to be a part of that. Laurence Fishburne Voters aren't asking to be pandered to and aren't asking to be tricked. Jason Kander I'm a pretty controlled and disciplined person, but my real vice is buying plants and food shopping. Zac Posen Barack Obama was a president who understood not only how technology could transform the way government services worked but also technology itself. He got it. Steven Levy Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up...

I do everything I can to have a diverse career because I just want to

have options. I know that I can do Hamlet or I can do Stanley Kowalski, you know. Sam Rockwell I've been pretty good about keeping my nose to the grindstone. I feel like I won a lot of matches from hard work and persistence, even maybe when I had better options as far as shot-making. Andy Roddick When I want to render these fine nuances, I do not find them in the subject, but in the nature of women in real life who seek unhealthy emotions and are too stupid even to understand the horror in the most appalling situations. Gustave Moreau There are those who leave without our needing to detain them; we have said all there is to say. Richard Eyre I worried that people wouldn't like me. Now I try not to worry and focus on being happy. Lea Michele Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor. Herb Caen I honestly think that's one of the greatest motivators of art - the fear of not making great art. Jason McCoy The two citi...

I've always known that I'm very, very ordinary looking. But I'm not alien looking. I

am an artist here to play characters. Dhanush There are direct paths to a successful career. But there are plenty of indirect paths, too. So many young people I speak to nowadays think that the only way to get to such a career is by the direct path; but that really only makes sense in certain circumstances. Clayton Christensen I grew up outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a little town, and went to a regular high school. I was a... very average student in that high school. Then I joined the Navy, and while I was in the Navy, I was in a motorcycle accident and woke up deaf in a hospital. I. King Jordan I think that you can love people without it being the great love. Taylor Swift The people want government that works for them at every level. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Money doesn't buy happiness. But happiness isn't everything. Jean Seberg Growing up in a band is weird - you get stuck hanging on to what it is you think you are. But what I took into Depeche was ...

I was fat-shamed the other day on a British newspaper. The headline was 'Four Bellies and a

Turkey Neck.' They weren't wrong. I looked shocking. Hugh Grant The 'Maze Runner' family, we all just really genuinely love each other. Dylan O'Brien Illinois' economy will benefit from the modernization of the power sector. Tammy Duckworth I played sports. I had boyfriends. I loved high school. Ann Coulter The thing is, with me, my life is a catwalk. Cam'ron My wife has her own career and has been successful as well. The key for our success is mutual support for each other. Brad Schneider I think you cannot be too complacent. I think that's dangerous, and you cannot take anything for granted. James Wan It is very important for an actor to look physically attractive. R. Madhavan I cannot write in isolation. I write with people around me. Ravi Subramanian When you walk into a room, and you're the only one of something - the only woman or the only African American - that immediate feeling of loneliness happens. Stacy Brown-Philpot I was a dog man. I ...

I used to have nightmares about the civil war when I got to England at ages 14 to 15.

It took me some years to get over that. Alek Wek Hollywood has been an enormous part of my life, as I know it has been for countless fans all over the world. Debbie Reynolds There's a thing in comedy where you take one step into a bad idea, but if you take 10, then it becomes a good idea again. Jonathan Krisel Medical disenfranchisement is fueled by a host of factors that include worsening shortage of primary care doctors in needy communities and a troubling scarcity of providers willing to treat the uninsured or publicly insured. Adding to the trend are fewer medical students choosing primary care over more lucrative and specialized fields. Danny K. Davis Bangladesh is not a rich country, but we have a big heart. Sheikh Hasina My goal is to be really incredible by the time I'm 70. Kurt Elling Music should be judged on what you hear, not what you think you might hear. Carlene Carter When I was young, it was television that was taking off, and so you had people worried that peo...
