I used to love wrestling Beth Phoenix, and I loved everything Beth Phoenix did in

the ring because it was like, 'Goodness. That beautiful woman is so strong.'
Nikki Bella

I think I have the nicest fans in the world, and I quite like being surrounded by people if we're all feeling the same emotion in the same room.
Aurora

What I have found is that the best way to unwind is cooking. You only have two hands. If you are chopping veggies, you are forcing yourself to put the phone down or step away from the computer. It's extremely relaxing.
Whitney Wolfe Herd

People do not necessarily reveal what is going on - only bad actors do.
Martin Landau

In the United States, we have a large, broad middle that are decent, fair-minded people who are too busy to really think about issues other than their next paycheck. Those are the people that we want to get to in order to change the social climate. And Howard Stern has that audience. So I said, 'Let's boldly go where I've never been before.'
George Takei

When I started at 'SNL,' I was lucky to start early. So now starting on 'Update,' I am the age when most people are when they start doing that. It feels like a different world and capacity, like starting over in another challenge. A heightened challenge.
Colin Jost

A book I would take with me to a desert island is 'Paradise Lost,' which I studied in college and hated so much by the end of the class that I never wanted to see it again.
Karin Slaughter

My aunt, Rosie Gaines, sung with Prince - 'Diamonds and Pearls.' And at the time, I didn't realize how big of a song that was. I just thought, 'Oh, that's my auntie singing with Prince. That's cool.'
Ro James

I've always written pop songs. I tend to take inspiration from more experimental genres, like ambient music, but at the root of the song, it's verse-chorus-verse.
Washed Out

The debt ceiling is not something to toy with.
Austan Goolsbee

Gemeoss

Very much like that, and very much a loner, do you know and I didn't

fit really into sport or all kind of group activities as a kid, I couldn't find a niche. And music was not really part of the kind of village curriculum it would, you know. Eric Clapton According to some Eastern religion, there is a belt that goes across the world, and I've heard that Minnesota is right in the heart of this spiritual-creative belt of energy. Melody Beattie Amongst Women concentrated on the family, and the new book concentrates on a small community. The dominant units in Irish society are the family and the locality. The idea was that the whole world would grow out from that small space. John McGahern Jazz stands for freedom. It's supposed to be the voice of freedom: Get out there and improvise, and take chances, and don't be a perfectionist - leave that to the classical musicians. Dave Brubeck I decided to do the maximum to hold onto the lead for as long as possible. That is why I pushed so hard from the beginning. I was at 100 percent conce...

The Gaelic language itself depends very much on ear and rhythm, and when those who

are thinking in Gaelic speak in English, they get the same rhythm. Lady Gregory Everyone in comedy thinks if you go to the U.S. you become a global star but, unfortunately, I've always been a bit anti-American - so I never did. Jo Brand Ever since the end of Medieval feudalism, and the writings of John Locke, we have understood the importance of being able to buy and sell one's own property, including books and watches, both for reasons of economics and liberty. Marvin Ammori One of the nice things about a favorite pop song is that it's an unconditional truce on judgment and musical snobbery. You like the song because you just do, and there need not be any further criticism. Henry Rollins A face is a road map of someone's life. Without any need to amplify that or draw attention to it, there's a great deal that's communicated about who this person is and what their life experiences have been. Chuck Close 'Minecraft' certainly became a huge ...

Take care that all your offerings be free, and of your own, that has cost

you something; so that ye may not offer of that which is another man's, or that which ye are entrusted withal, and not your own. George Fox True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made. Franklin D. Roosevelt Easy doesn't do it. Al Bernstein The snow continues with high winds we remain at this camp to day in consequence of the weather. William Henry Ashley I've been to Paris France and I've been to Paris Paramount. Paris Paramount is better. Ernst Lubitsch

Motion capture is exactly what it says: it's physical moves, whereas performance capture is the

entire performance - including your facial performance. If you're doing, say, martial arts for a video game, that is motion capture. This is basically another way of recording an actor's performance: audio, facial and physical. Andy Serkis Fate gives you the finger and you accept. William Shatner I've always joked about Joe Montana not appreciating his Super Bowls nearly as much as I do because he never lost one. We lost three before we got one. John Elway You don't know what people are really like until they're under a lot of stress. Tim Allen I think, for the majority of my twenties, I was always so concerned with what I didn't have, or what I still wanted. Adam Lambert Find combinations of flavors you love and buy the best quality ingredients you can afford. Your food is only going to be as good as the sum of its parts, like anything else. Gail Simmons I hate that word, mature, but I guess I am growing up. Sheryl Crow Not knowing the thin...

I don't know concretely if it's due to superstition, but any time a new rule

is implemented into the NBA or a new piece of equipment or a new technology, there is always a transition and adjustment period by players and coaches and anyone involved with the game. Stu Jackson When I was on a major label I felt obliged to say yes to every interview, tour and whatever else. The label is always telling you, 'This ain't going to last,' so I worked myself half to death. I learnt from that and I like to pace myself now. Adam Ant I got to play in a crowd, play in Wimbledon finals, be the guy on a Davis Cup team for a while. Those are opportunities not a lot of people get. As much as I was disappointed and frustrated at times, I'm not sure that I ever felt sorry for myself or begrudged anybody any of their success. Andy Roddick There are times, like after a long day of work, when the thought of an easy drive-through is enticing. But then I remember how crappy I felt when I ate fast food in the past, and it inspires me to head to the grocery store...

Every single tune you know from the 1940s until the 1970s was written, arranged, and

demoed in the Brill Building. OK, maybe not every song, but writers from Benny Goodman to Lieber & Stoller to Neil Diamond all kept offices there. Shawn Amos When dealing with a subject who is dead, you have this feeling of being God. You know who they're going to marry, when they're going to die. It's strange to feel so omniscient. Claire Tomalin I think the power of opera has been shifted from the music to the director, because this is a very visual age that we live in. Sondra Radvanovsky It's good to see some Kiwi accents up on the big screen. Martin Henderson Students shy away from Maths, but in reality Maths is the best friend of man. Shakuntala Devi I'm the one who will take chances, not worry about the backlash. Magic Johnson If you know the mother's genome and the father's genome, and you see that the children have some genes that neither parent has, then you know that difference is either a mutation or a processing error. Lero...

When I first arrived in Los Angeles I became a little bogged down in the

whole success thing. Now I'm at a place in my life and career where I just want to work. It's what I do and it makes me very happy. John Glover I like to sneak in under the radar. I don't have any paparazzi following me or have to deal with that stuff. I'm never in the tabloids. I prefer that. Rob Schneider I didn't fully realize it at the time, but the goal of my life was profoundly molded by this experience - to help produce, in the next generation, more Mother Teresas and less Hitlers. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind. W. Somerset Maugham I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. Dean Martin Canada is the homeland of equality, justice and tolerance. Kim Campbell It is also a good rul...

I find television to be a bit like a meat grinder. It's like, you

have a cow, you put it through a meat grinder, and out comes a hot dog. It's almost unrecognizable. Jillian Michaels We've always had a roadmap to feature filmmaking, and making a feature film could have been three or four years away for us. But crowdfunding helped us get there in a year, and it allowed us to take a much bigger step. Burnie Burns I love being the sidekick. I'm pretty sure fans love seeing me that way. Jacob Batalon Businesses across the country are raising their prices in order to compensate for their added costs due to Obama's health care plan. If they aren't raising prices, they're cutting jobs as a result of the added cost, both of which hurt our economy. Pam Bondi I've not had any interest in running a movie studio, but I want to make one feature film. Bonnie Hammer I give everything far too much thought. If you think you know what you're doing, then you can kind of relax, and then you can improvise an...

St. Louis has a lot of weird food customs that you don't see other places

- and a lot of great ethnic neighborhoods. There's a German neighborhood. A great old school Italian neighborhood, with toasted ravioli, which seems to be a St. Louis tradition. And they love provolone cheese in St. Louis. Andy Cohen Just that working with Clint again is like coming home. Morgan Freeman The first time I toured the U.K. was in the early '90s with Billy Pilgrim, so I know how much the people there love music. Kristian Bush Being with all those great bowlers was the greatest three days I ever had. Don Johnson In business, you're the Chief Salesman. Create a sense of demand, rather than waiting to have demand. Barbara Corcoran I have learned to be molded by God into the person He wants. I want to help and encourage others to be the best they can be. Kim Alexis I... grew up in politics and I used to work for the Democratic Party. Harvey Weinstein Art is, for me, the process of trying to wake up the soul. Because we live in an industrialized,...

I worked with James Orange and Hosea Williams as a teenager, and he's portrayed in

the movie by Wendell Pierce. So, for me to be able to come in, 20 years after working with them as a teenager, and to portray Reverend James Orange in 'Selma' is mind-blowing. Omar Dorsey The Arctic is among the least understood places on the planet; however, we do know that its landscape is changing and evolving as quickly as cell phones and the Internet. Philippe Cousteau, Jr. Kitchen competition shows are so action-packed. They just get your adrenaline pumping. Bill Rancic On the roads, it is one of those 'might is right' situations. If I see cars coming, I duck out of the way. Dane Bird-Smith I always thought the desert was the antithesis of peace - something that attacks you. So you don't go to the desert for peace. Sam Shepard They ought to put an amendment to the First Amendment that says there shall also be freedom of hearing. Tom Smothers I love anything that's sort of surreal and with fantasy. Christina Hendricks The most frequent ...
