The greatest natural resource our country has is not oil. It's not gas. It's not

coal. It's the genius of our children.
Cory Booker

Everybody knew James Brown. Every musician dreamed of being in his band.
James McBride

On my own, I have very bad posture; I'm clunky.
Carice van Houten

Leadership can change its mind; leadership can open its eye. Leadership can even be replaced.
Ehud Barak

Sometimes, when I come back to Washington from Indiana, I feel like an ambassador to a foreign country.
Evan Bayh

There are no second chances in the volatile Middle East.
Naftali Bennett

When I make decisions, I'm not thinking about my parents. I'm thinking about my children.
Tzipi Livni

My sister and I truly are best friends.
Solange Knowles

It's all about secular unionism, the advancement of atheism, which they even tried to create in this law - Democrats did - an atheistic chaplaincy.
John Fleming

If you put your hand on the piano, you play a note. It's in tune. But if you put it on the violin, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. You have to figure it out.
Itzhak Perlman

I have ballet class every other day for two hours. And for 'Six Feet Under',

last week there was a sequence where I had to do a whole choreographed dance number, so I had four hours of dance practice every day. Michelle Trachtenberg Salman Rushdie, indeed any writer who abuses the prophet or indeed any prophet under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death. Cat Stevens I have always liked shows that have laughter in them. David Walliams People working in the private sector should try to save money. There remains the possibility that it may someday be valuable again. Norman Ralph Augustine The Roman Catholics must know as well as we do that 'Popery' when encouraged by government has always been dangerous to the liberties of the people. Lord George Gordon

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 ...

I was thin in high school and then I gained weight. I went to a

nutritionist. I learned for the first time about what things are healthy to eat, basically. Jonah Hill History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be. John Henrik Clarke I suppose, counting back, if the Beatles had been influenced by music in the same length of time ago - you'd have to put that into better English for me, thank you - they would have been like a banjo orchestra. They would have been doing show tunes. Jonny Greenwood I reached the point where I actually enjoyed the umpiring more than playing. Jim Evans Of course everyone says they hate baby talk, but mine was not annoying. Mariska Hargitay I instinctively try to protect people from filth. Tony Abbott I want to get out of the major opera houses. Renee Fleming I gr...

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...

To make fluffy scrambled eggs, the best trick is to whisk in a splash of

water and nothing else. Cream, milk, and other liquids drag the eggs down! Alex Guarnaschelli I'm thankful for performing as long as I am allowed. Chuck Berry The new 'Dark Knight' movies, they're wonderful in their own way. Adam West I want to help my team win, and this is a winning organization, so there's no added pressure. Eric Weddle I am a day dreamer. I visualise a lot of things at the same time. Tiger Shroff The extraordinary summer heatwave of 2003 in Europe resulted in over 35,000 extra deaths. Gordon Brown Here in America, our use of time is not harmonious with humanity's better spirit. Ali Shaheed Muhammad Guys get concussions, they don't tell the coaches. It happens. Calvin Johnson If people perceive 'Roots' to be a black history show, nobody is going to watch it. David L. Wolper I'm one of them guys that tries to make everything the best of the best, so sometimes I'm out of control with it. DJ Khaled

In metros, girls are very independent, conscious and aware. But in the interiors of our

country, where education is not given importance, they continue to be oppressed. But it is important for every woman to acknowledge what she wants from herself rather than going for what people expect from her. Kangana Ranaut I start from one point and go as far as possible. But, unfortunately, I never lose my way. I 'localize,' which is to say that I think always in a given space. I rarely think of the whole of a solo, and only very briefly. I always return to the small part of the solo that I was in the process of playing. John Coltrane I like the Open Window Fresh WetJet scent; it smells pretty good as you are using it. I like fresh and clean smells, so it makes sense that I would also be partnered with Swiffer because that is what they are all about: making your house all fresh and clean. Eric Stonestreet The good news is that I've already outlived two Brontes, Keats, and Stephen Crane. The bad news is that I haven't written anything. Paul Kalanithi I...

The dedication of the United States Air Force, Special Forces, and others involved in the

mission to tracking down terrorists can not be matched. We express our gratitude to these men and women who defend the freedom America represents. Tim Murphy You know how I came up with the name 'Road to the Super Bowl?' It's an homage to the old Bob Hope - Bing Crosby buddy movies - you know, like 'Road to Zanzibar' or 'Road to Morocco.' Can you tell? All I've done my whole life is go to movies. Steve Sabol Things that go on at Happy Times are very funny this year, and if you were watching last year, some of the people you saw then as basically extras emerge as real characters in their own right this season, at least to some degree. Ellen Muth I've always been a late bloomer. My body developed late. From ninth to 10th grade, I grew like 3 inches. Just kind of stretched out. I was like 6-1, grew to 6-4 in 10th grade. Paul Pierce The French were generous in giving us assistance in corps and army artillery, with its personnel, and we were c...

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,...
