You can get stuff done in New York that you can't in Los Angeles. If

you wanted to get some milk and get your shoes repaired and drop something off at the dry cleaner, that's an all-day adventure in Los Angeles. In New York, you can bang that out in half an hour.
Justin Theroux

I'm not going to lie to you: I'd prefer not to go to the gym and not to run.
Corey Hawkins

When I come to reflect on the subject, in no country have I received such honors or been so esteemed as in Italy, and nothing contributes more to a man's fame than to have written Italian operas, and especially for Naples.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

To say that I'm going to veto something that I haven't read is just - or sign something that I haven't read - I don't think is good policy for any chief executive.
Doug Ducey

I love singing. I love singing at home.
Yvonne Strahovski

Always the journey, never the destination.
Simon Rattle

It's sometimes better to have a father figure to rebel against than nothing, than just a black hole or an absence.
Jean-Michel Jarre

Cameras should be the norm everywhere. It should be in every courtroom so that the proceedings are taken down and recorded just like stenography.
Judy Sheindlin

The whole thing about 'progressive R&B' blows my mind. Black music has always been progressive.
Kelela

I used to bodyguard for some celebrities and other people, and when I wasn't doing that, I used to work at a disco as a doorman or a bouncer.
Mr. T

Gemeoss

I always wanted to write a raccoon story. I don't know why. It's not like

I want to own a raccoon or anything like that. I'm just fascinated by them. Kathi Appelt I made a very poor decision in my first marriage. I know God's forgiven me. Scott DesJarlais My attitude is that, if you have nothing to hide, why not show it? Bradley Wiggins I'm definitely happy and appreciate all the love everyone's given to me. Desiigner I like to keep my options open. I'm known for changing my mind. Doug Liman When I portrayed Shiridi Sai, I changed as a person. Akkineni Nagarjuna I think every new player needs time when they come to a new club and a new country, and I certainly did. Granit Xhaka Mobile gaming is the largest and fastest-growing opportunity for interactive entertainment, and we will have one of the world's most successful mobile game companies and its talented teams providing great content to new customers, in new geographies, throughout the world. Bobby Kotick A lot of people think I'm gay. I have really red

One night I was standing on Third Avenue playing my guitar, when this big Irish

policeman came strolling by, and stopped to listen to my singing and playing. When I was done, he politely handed me a ticket for disturbing the peace, while at the same time telling me how much he liked my voice. I wish I still had that ticket. Frank Stallone I've got four piercings in my left, so we've dubbed my right one the 'period drama ear.' I have to be filmed from that side when I do emotional close-ups in 'Downton.' Jessica Brown Findlay When I record an album I'm trying to get as close as possible to that perfect moment. Lou Reed I'm not an activist. Werner Herzog I'm very emotional. That's why I wear shades a lot. Duane Chapman Hollywood embraced me in the late '80s because there was a good project I was in and it was different. Nowadays, it's about corporate mentality, box office, youth. Marlee Matlin If I can give a very substantial injection of humanistic thinking into corporations, boy, that would change things

I know what it's like to have a broken heart. I know what it's like

to feel pain: When my songs don't become hits, it breaks my heart. There are a million ways to break a heart. I can relate. Diane Warren Boys, particularly, like stories where they can have images in their imagination, where they can go to scary places and experiment with what can happen. Morris Gleitzman Bowie is probably my favorite all-around songwriter and performer and personality. His ability to change over the years is such an inspiration. I love 'Young Americans' and 'Fame.' Scott Weiland I actually got more attention from one episode of 'The Sopranos' than I did from two years of 'The L Word.' Sarah Shahi 'American Sniper' is a movie. War is a grim reality and with us still. Mike Barnicle I do like having books on my shelves. I do value that life. Noah Baumbach Whenever I start a project, I have a broad range of possibilities. Shaun Tan When I was in fourth grade, I had a lot of upheaval in my life. Both of my pa

While it was occasionally done here or there, nobody else had a figurehead like Walt

doing it. Jack Warner wasn't on TV. Walt was the boss, but he had a real public profile and he used it to his advantage. And he became a household face. Leonard Maltin I am strongly pro-life, and have fought to protect the rights of the unborn my entire career. I will continue to fight for this cause because I value the sanctity of all human life. Rob Bishop I explain this not for publicity, nor seeking to win an argument of right or wrong, I explain so that the record is clear as to my thinking and motivations in bombing a government installation. Timothy McVeigh We'd play at the Ambassador's house for an invited group of dignitaries from the government that might have gone to school in America; to the U.S. Consulate that invites certain people that they're trying to target. Bob Livingston We decide based on how people look; we decide based on how people sound; we decide based on how people are dressed. We decide based on their passion. Frank Luntz I hav

Two years after drama school, I had a nervous breakdown: I heard voices, and the

voice I heard in my head was Martin Luther King's. David Harewood The house was big enough for my brother and me to have firecracker wars at one end and leave Mom and Dad undisturbed at the other. When firecrackers weren't available, we attacked each other with pennies and marbles and clumps of Crisco, which made brilliant greasy asterisks when you missed and hit the wall. John Dickerson I think you judge your career by the scripts that are being sent your way. Jeffrey Dean Morgan You alone are enough. Oprah Winfrey I'm not a car person. Three years after 'The Da Vinci Code' came out, I still had my old, rusted Volvo. And people are like, 'Why don't you have a Maserati?' It never occurred to me. It wasn't a priority for me. I just didn't care. Dan Brown Everybody in Hollywood has to beat the 'no' - and if you write code in Silicon Valley, or if you design cars in Detroit, if you manage hedge funds in Lower Manhattan, you al

No, I chose the name Jane Seymour because I was doing my first film, 'Ode

to Lovely War,' and one of the top agents in England spotted me dancing in the chorus. I was a singer and dancer in that movie with Maggie Smith, um, and he told me he couldn't sell me as Joyce Penelope Willomena Frankenburger. Jane Seymour Sundance was started as a mechanism for the discovery of new voices and new talent. Robert Redford The election of Senator Barack Obama brought jubilation across Africa, where millions celebrated him as 'one of their own.' George Ayittey We need to stop spending money we don't have. Paul Ryan Making love in the morning got me through morning sickness. I found I could be happy and throw up at the same time. Pamela Anderson Of all the means I know to lead men, the most effectual is a concealed mystery. Adam Weishaupt I have always said that often the religion you were born with becomes more important to you as you see the universality of truth. Ram Dass I'm not afraid to die. Vivien Leigh I enjoyed the promotion

I like to be very girly, with bows and ruffles on the red carpet. I

love pastel colours, especially blue. Me and my sister both because of our eyes look good in blues. Elle Fanning I have often noticed that after I had bestowed on the characters of my novels some treasured item of my past, it would pine away in the artificial world where I had so abruptly placed it. Vladimir Nabokov Look, I am not worried about Washington cutting too much spending too fast. I mean, the kinds of spending cuts we're talking about just right now are $100 billion out of a $3.7 trillion budget. Paul Ryan Touring is very grueling. It's very taxing on the body and living out of your suitcase, going from city to city, night after night. It's a tough job. Janet Jackson I'm on 'Two and a Half Men,' and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it, and filling your head with filth. Angus T. Jones The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative

Americans deserve a simple, fairer, and flatter tax code that jumpstarts our economy, helps create

jobs, and makes America a leader again.Kevin Brady Ramen in L.A. is much better than ramen in San Francisco. That's just a fact.Alexis Ohanian Ideally, I would like to play roles in as many classics as possible: 'Rebecca,' 'Hedda Gabler.' I'm fond of a corset.Talulah Riley I always think of the Joker as the ultimate bully. Nothing he says is funny except to him.Paul Dini Fashion is instant - after six months, it disappears, and you have to start again. That's the nature of it.John Rocha I think a certain degree of pessimism is actually helpful to love.Alain de Botton Most people can't see beauty and love. I see our music as medicine.Maurice White My own ambitions were eclectic. My father ran a steel plant, and I was expected to study metallurgy and end up at the steel plant when I finished high school at age 15. Despite my proficiency at science, I decided against it and instead went on to study filmmaking.Anand Mahindra I have be

I did a couple comedies to balance myself as an actor and balance how audiences

see Donnie Yen as an actor, and I would even say as a celebrity or icon, to some fans. I want to show that I'm not Terminator. Donnie Yen When I think of Sherlock Holmes, I think of a guy who can wander into the confusion of life and sort of pluck out answers at will. Graham Moore It's madness to hand in a script to a director, leave them alone, and for the director not to want the writer there with rehearsals and the shoot. Peter Morgan There are times when external circumstances can overwhelm us, and we do things we never thought. If you're not aware that this can happen, you can be seduced by evil. We need inoculations against our own potential for evil. We have to acknowledge it. Then we can change it. Philip Zimbardo My strength was in singing and songwriting, which was a new discovery for me when I was 18. And I decided if I pursued songwriting, which is what was closest to my heart, then there would be no competition. I would just live my life being mysel

You can catch me in whatever's funky, whatever's got that swag. If it's got that

swag, I'm putting it on. Desiigner You need to think outside the box. You need to think differently if you want to sustain what, for me, is my peak performance: the very best that I can achieve as an athlete every day. Tom Brady Putin has put Russia on a path to be a world power with global influence. Jack Keane You raise taxes during an economic crisis time, as we did in - back in the time of Herbert Hoover, you send the country into a depression. John McCain I'm always the underdog, but I don't mind that. Stipe Miocic The minute that a celebrity wears your clothing, that gives you international exposure and the best advertising you can get. Emilia Wickstead On the Republican Party platform and the major issues of the Republican Party, Charlie Dent is significantly removed from those foundational principles in his voting record. Trent Franks You get to a point in your life where you go, 'I don't remember what I did.' Frank Abagnale My id
