Hungarian communists were the most talented. They convinced everybody that reforming the communist party was

better than making a new party.
Viktor Orban

I can make my own decisions, I can do the music I like. If I fail, it's me failing - you know.
Yandel

Each country has its own way of communicating a narrative and, through that, expressing family experiences in emotional stories.
Elvis Mitchell

Even though decathlon is really long, there's always something different to look forward to, which is great for mental stimulation.
Ashton Eaton

I'm a Coen Brothers fan - especially their early work.
Morten Tyldum

The well-stuffed slave masters currently gorging themselves in Cuba's halls of power need to be held accountable.
Robert Zubrin

I'm obsessed with great white sharks. And I want to dive into the coral of the Great Barrier Reef.
Sara Sampaio

These statements about torture, about alleged misuse of power and things like that, insulted the Filipinos more than their leader because it was made to appear as if Filipinos would tolerate a leader who would torture his own people, who would utilize his executive prerogatives for abuses.
Ferdinand Marcos

I have always prided myself on if, hypothetically, the entertainment industry just dissolved, just went away today, I feel that I have enough marketable skills that I could still contribute to society and make a difference. I'm a very good typist.
Jack McBrayer

My goal is to be able to fill out one of those forms that asks 'Who are you?' and be able to just put 'Human being,' you know?
James McBride

Real science is the greatest, most exciting springboard I have available to me as

a writer, and I don't feel the least bit constrained by it. Mark Waid I said I reject any form of bigotry, bigotry of all kinds. Steve Scalise I'm trying to enjoy my time at home and be around my kids. Rey Mysterio The thing that I love about 'Scandal' is every character, it's not clear if they're good or bad. Everyone is both good and bad. Nazanin Boniadi Many of the basic lessons of business, such as the critical value of customer service or measuring risk against reward when investing capital, have essential application in government, but not in a vacuum. John Hickenlooper I grew up in London, one of four children. We were a very loud family, not a lot of listening, plenty of talking. My mum was a hearth mother: she loved to gather us all around her - Sunday lunches were a big thing. She was very good at thinking on her feet - people used to say she should go into politics. Damian Lewis When you're an independent artist, you need as much play or promotio...

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 ...

I love being in the studio, and I am a huge fan of live music.

Without writing good stuff in the studio, you have nothing to play live. Anthony Hamilton I purposely don't talk about money, because people are already skeptical about TV preachers. But I do say that I want you to be blessed. To me, prosperity is having health, having great children, having peace, good relationships. It's not about the money. Joel Osteen When I was between 2 and 3 years old, I got to know my first non-human being. The non-human was a cocker spaniel named Baba. We weren't friends, Baba and I, nor enemies. He wasn't my dog. He belonged to the people my mother worked for, and he lived in the house with them and us. Octavia E. Butler I was considered the luckiest of all the female gypsies since I landed the job as social secretary to Ambassador and Mrs. David Bruce at the American Embassy. Letitia Baldrige Some musicians like to decorate their walls with discs saying: '1 million records sold in America.' I prefer to put up discs marking...

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...

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see the real

you, or what you have been conditioned to believe is you? The two are so, so different. One is an infinite consciousness capable of being and creating whatever it chooses, the other is an illusion imprisoned by its own perceived and programmed limitations. David Icke I just feel exciting. Li Na Hey, we have obligations. We all work for a living now. Michael Irvin Pain is a beautiful thing. When you feel pain, you know you're alive. Criss Angel There are beautiful examples of art done by chimpanzees in human care. Frans de Waal My friends that are snobs think its cool I did a movie with Albert Brooks. Robin Tunney Fighting is dancing. Look at a great boxing match, and it's a dancing. David Lyons If it is a shame to be the second man on Mount Everest, then I will have to live with this shame. Tenzing Norgay I enter my studio at 9 a.m. I have lunch here, I return right away to my work and I go out to dinner at 8 p.m. My daily tasks vary very much. Oscar Ni...

That's the problem with news interviews, you work your tail off to get prominent figures

in the news on the radio, but once they've been on, the event passes, the urgency, the issues you talked about evaporate. Bob Edwards Wasted Days and Wasted Nights, it's about days very wrongly invested in a love affair. Freddy Fender Sarah Michelle Gellar's made some really good choices. She's had some bad breaks. She goes with the independent, interesting young filmmakers and then they get slammed, like 'Southland Tales.' I'm proud of what she's trying to do. It's hard. Joss Whedon You have to develop a very thick skin. Gabrielle Union Courage is action, not talk. Jeff Rich When I go on Japanese Airlines, I really love it because I like Japanese food. Phil Collins We can bring to characters dark and bright sides that nobody even dreams about. Sonia Braga Films are just consumables. Kristin Scott Thomas I'm not a celebrity. I don't call myself a celebrity. I'm an actor. Sophia Bush I wouldn't mind doing a s...

Many leaders of big organizations, I think, don't believe that change is possible. But if

you look at history, things do change, and if your business is static, you're likely to have issues. Larry Page I wish there was something that - I get all those wonderful letters and wonderful acknowledgments, and I wish I could be more appreciative of what I do. But it's hard for me. Harvey Korman I have to laugh when I receive newsletters from major personalities and when you hit reply, you get a 'do-not-reply' address. It's ridiculous! Don't you want your customers to reply to you? Brendon Burchard A dark poem is meant to redeem the dark part. C. K. Williams The act of bell ringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people. Ezra Pound He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise. Quintus Ennius I was born in New Jersey, but it doesn't sound like I'm from a certain region. Wesley Schultz Men don't fall in love with me - only young ones. Kr...

I live in L.A. so I worry my kids aren't that connected to Britain, I

suppose I don't want them to become American kids. We try to get back three or four times a year. When they go to school they speak with a British-American accent but when they come home to us they go back to their British accent. Kevin McKidd I was always in the tennis business-from 1968. I was in tournaments and also on World Team Tennis teams as well. Billie Jean King I didn't start acting until I was in college, which was in the 70's. Ray Liotta Ontario wood prices are among the highest in the world. John Harrison I was never just a 'fill in 16 bars on a beat' rapper. I was making real songs from the jump. Mac Miller I came to Moscow when I was 5 years old from Baku. To walk all night in Moscow will bring back my youth to me. Mstislav Rostropovich The bias against introversion leads to a colossal waste of talent, energy, and happiness. Susan Cain I believe in sex on a first date. Otherwise, how do you know if a second date is worth the effor...

The judge turned his back towards me, sitting back on his judge's chair, while I

was in the witness stand being questioned. The whole courtroom was full of these anarchists, leftists, communists and Jewish lobbyists. Ernst Zundel From fanaticism to barbarism is only one step. Denis Diderot I don't think the current regime of South Korea will deal actively with the issue of North Korean defectors. Kim Young-sam The future of our nation depends on our ability to produce food and fiber to sustain the world. Phil Bredesen Everyday holds the possibility of a miracle. Elizabeth David Every life is a profession of faith, and exercises an inevitable and silent influence. Henri Frederic Amiel I was a normal, rather dutiful child. I didn't even rebel as a teenager. Emily Watson

I cannot illustrate huge differences between male and female spiritualities except in their starting points,

style and fascinations along the way. This is significant, however, and has huge pastoral implications: men must be challenged in the world of doing; women must be challenged in the world of relating. Richard Rohr I like theme parks. The fastest roller coaster I've ever been on is at a casino in Nevada. Tia Carrere I was not chosen to be president to restore capitalism to Cuba. I was elected to defend, maintain and continue to perfect socialism, not destroy it. Raul Castro I don't think the American people, if you look historically, elect angry candidates. Ken Mehlman Nature is just enough; but men and women must comprehend and accept her suggestions. Antoinette Brown Blackwell No critic writing about a film could say more than the film itself, although they do their best to make us think the oppposite. Federico Fellini A race is what zoologists term a variety or subdivision of a species. J. Philippe Rushton Buildings are always better than drawings and mod...
