As a negotiator, you should strive for a reputation of being fair. Your reputation precedes

you. Let it precede you in a way that paves success.
Christopher Voss

Some of my favorite actors are Gene Wilder and Eddie Murphy back in the day - that's mainly what me and my brothers watched when we were kids.
Michael Pena

As a veterinarian and lover of animals, I feel the time is now to stop the practice of horse soring for good.
Ted Yoho

I try to do three active things a day because I have to fit into costumes that are very tight.
RuPaul

It's an awful feeling, being hungry.
Alek Wek

I never want to make any characters one-dimensional, especially as women can often be portrayed as the dark one or the evil one.
Vanessa Kirby

I do have people looking up to me, which is still kind of weird to me. 'I'm like, 'Why? What have I done?'
Asa Butterfield

We're all weirdly single, middle-aged women with too much money who look to fill the void with too much shopping.
John Cameron Mitchell

William Maxwell's my favorite North American writer, I think. And an Irish writer who used to write for 'The New Yorker' called Maeve Brennan, and Mary Lavin, another Irish writer. There were a lot of writers that I found in 'The New Yorker' in the Fifties who wrote about the same type of material I did - about emotions and places.
Alice Munro

I like to say, 'You get as much story as you can take.' But you have to effectively render it.
Adrian Nicole LeBlanc

Gemeoss

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...

This country owes them all a debt of gratitude. The down payment on that debt

is making sure that we live up to Lincoln's charge: to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan. Dave Obey This may be done by grafting, by confining the roots, withholding water, bending the branches, or in a hundred other ways which all proceed upon the same principle. Robert Fortune Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are. Don Miguel Ruiz I like to be able to play a character and act out a lot of things which I can't or don't do in my normal everyday life. Leonardo DiCaprio The whole idea that what is not normal should be kept secret - that's really distasteful to me. Dan Farmer That tv box has a tremendous capacity to reach people. Clint Walker In Australia, not reading poetry is the national pastime. Phyllis McGinley

As to the differences between game work and novel writing, well, obviously the

former is a lot less lonely - you're in and out of meetings all the time, bouncing stuff back and forth with the level designers, the art department, the animation team, so forth. Richard K. Morgan Curating, in the modern sense, is something I gravitate to. Taking different ideas from a bunch of different places and putting them into one place or space, a story that makes sense or a new idea. Everything is remixed and taken from other things to make something new. Petra Collins Pool swimmers are very slim, and they're stronger. Marathon swimmers have to train an awful lot, and they end up losing a bit of muscle mass. So we need to have a bit more fat, though that's not the case with me. Many swimmers have a little bit of extra fat though, so that they can deal with the cold and get through what is an exhausting event. Poliana Okimoto I think I'm constantly trying to grow as a pitcher. You start going out there, you're learning stuff, you're finding different w...

You can use your means in a good and bad way. In German-speaking

art, we had such a bad experience with the Third Reich, when stories and images were used to tell lies. After the war, literature was careful not to do the same, which is why writers began to reflect on the stories they told and to make readers part of their texts. I do the same. Michael Haneke If you think about the way the hearings were structured, the hearings were really about Thomas' race and my gender. Anita Hill My favorite Extreme records were the last two. I can't listen to the first one. Gary Cherone You are attached to what you attack. Robert Shea There is one Metallica. We have many styles, it's called Metallica. James Hetfield You can pretend to be serious; but you can't pretend to be witty. Sacha Guitry We are in favor of greater free markets. Ed Gillespie I'm going to focus on speed, doing little things like my turns and my starts - just speed. Ryan Lochte I knew no one who'd ever been in the public eye. J. K. Rowling We...

I've been doing this 17 years but I can tell you I have more websites

now than I have ever had devoted to me or my past career or my character. When I got this show, I think I had two fans out there that had created websites on my behalf. Robert Patrick You were there all day long, 12 hours a day. So there was none of this, 'I'm going back to my trailer, my trailer's bigger than your trailer,' that kind of Hollywood nonsense. John C. Reilly I used to get some flack from my agents because I wouldn't even audition for parts where the hero uses violent force to be a hero. Mackenzie Astin Socialism must come down from the brain and reach the heart. Jules Renard Judges are appointed often through the political process. Stephen Breyer Good things happen to those who hustle. Chuck Noll If the Cowboys and Titans ain't playing, I'm not interested. Tanya Tucker

I spent a lot of money and time at pizza places. Golf and Stuff in Ventura, right

off the 101, was my hangout. Skating Plus, right behind it, always had a good selection of games. That was the place to be when you were from Oxnard back in the '80s. Rich Moore It was tough to quit football. But after I was injured, I didn't want people paying money to see only half a John Matuszak. John Matuszak I do feel like the media is one of the biggest problems. If you look at all these rolling news channels, they sensationalize the story, they focus on gossip, and they don't actually tell the full story. Finn Jones It's easier to get into controlling relationships when you're young because you're much more eager to please, and controlling men pick up on that. If they like to make decisions for you at the start of a relationship, it can be a warning sign. Sarah Pinborough For any child, boy or girl, a father is both Jedi and Sith: Obi-Wan Kenobi - gentle and calming and good - and Vader, fierce and terrifying. Cass Sunstein I always carry my phone with ...

When the Constitution gave us the right to bear arms, it also made us responsible

for using them properly. It's not fair of us as citizens to lean more heavily on one side of that equation than on the other. Jesse Ventura I wanted to be a rock star when I grew up, or at least a singer/songwriter. Katey Sagal So okay, I accepted, and I realized while working for that concert that I'd been missing something very important and vital to me, and that something was music. Joseph Jarman It's really not the genre for me, or the venue, it's the writing. Kathy Najimy Every writer secretly hopes that what he or she has written will endure. Jonathan Coleman I was not a collective person or a bohemian; I was an elitist. Elia Kazan I appreciate men like Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins very much. Stan Getz Actors enjoy being treated as ordinary people. Tom Hooper A true initiation never ends. Robert Anton Wilson I took my time to find the perfect girl. Joe Namath
