I don't think the entire world respects women in sport. But if FIFA start respecting

the women's game more, others will follow.
Alex Morgan

I have been making hip-hop since I was a kid growing up in New York in the '80s and '90s. It's always been a hobby of mine - I've been making beats and writing songs for as long or longer than I've been acting.
Dash Mihok

I listen to some Hank Williams before I go out. I tell some jokes. I have fun. I don't waste too much energy thinking about it - I like to save that all for the ring.
Dean Ambrose

I've decided that I'm completely rock n' roll.
Katherine Ryan

Advertising is a nebulous beast at the best of times.
Antony Johnston

Why should we take options off the table in advance?
Gillian Turner

To me, fashion is ceaselessly fascinating because it is an expression of self.
Anna Wintour

More than any other poet, Whitman is what we make him; more than any other poet, his greatest value is in what he suggests and implies rather than in what he portrays, and more than any other poet must he wait to be understood by the growth of the taste of himself.
John Burroughs

Here's the deal on Texas. It's big. So big, there's about five distinct and different places here, separated from one another geologically, topographically, botanically, ethnically, culturally, and climatically.
Molly Ivins

There is great mystery in a church. For me, there is a great privilege to be confronted with the design of a church because it shelters the most powerful themes of humanity: birth, marriage, death.
Mario Botta

Gemeoss

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 ...

Tough times have always lent themselves to nativist sentiments and closed-door policies. But in the

case of highly skilled immigrants, these policies are a recipe for stagnation. James Surowiecki I use that as my responsibility on the show, to be the pragmatist. Fisher Stevens I don't have to put on shoulder pads and run out there and let somebody hit on me a little bit. Emmitt Smith Nothing scares me but God. Lil Wayne Not to like ice cream is to show oneself uninterested in food. Joseph Epstein One's life has many compartments. Harold Pinter Government just simply can't do everything for everyone. Jan Brewer I now walk into the wild. Christopher McCandless No, I'm not a scientologist. Katharine McPhee I always look for reality. I look for plain truthful roles. Jim Caviezel

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...

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...

If the film is a hit then everyone shares the success. If it is going

to be a disaster then it might as well be because of me, not because of somebody else. Salman Khan Is Europe going to be breaking? I don't think so. I think the euro will stay. I think at the end of the day Europeans will find the solutions in order to hold Europe together. Carlos Ghosn Attending that Convention and talking with those people and many others convinced me that I should become a blogger in my efforts to reform the government and uphold the integrity of the Constitution and the laws made in furtherance thereof. John Jay Hooker I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes. Richard Krajicek I never read reviews at all. I'm proud of the work I did. Nicole Kidman I only understand friendship or scorched earth. Roger Ailes It's a wise thing to hold back. Julian Clary I don't like violence. Katey Sagal I get nervous every time, for every single performance, before getting up on that stage. Thia Megia Those early days of come...

My father's encouragement is what has brought me this far, because when I grew up

I wanted to be like him, and I knew I had that ability to become an athlete. Being an Olympian is one of the greatest things, and being an Olympic gold medallist is one of the most prestigious titles in the world. David Rudisha The 'American Idol' and 'X Factor' shows, they're great shows. But I think I need to make a show like that, directed straight to the hood, to the artists that don't get the attention, that don't have the money to make themselves representable. Snoop Dogg So just as I want pilots on the planes that I fly, when it comes to monetary policy, I want to think that there is someone with sound judgement at the controls. Martin Feldstein Me and my sisters all have such different body types. Kim Kardashian Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating? Cate Blanchett Boston is safe. And we're going to keep it safe. Thomas Menino I think people know that I've got a good heart. David Hass...

I know when I go outside, there'll be a van or two and they'll probably

follow us four out of seven days a week, trying to get something. But I'm just going across town and I know they're just wasting their day, so it doesn't bother me anymore. Brad Pitt Americans believe that people should work hard and get ahead on their own, but when disaster strikes and they need help with retirement or disability, Americans as a whole should come to their aid. Jacob Hacker Personally, I just got one of these Vonage IP phones. It's actually pretty cool. It comes with one of these Cisco ATA routers where you just plug an analog handset in. Rob Glaser I'm a writer first and an editor second... or maybe third or even fourth. Successful editing requires a very specific set of skills, and I don't claim to have all of them at my command. Lynn Abbey The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. Jim Morrison But the p...

I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force

it on the world at large - especially this world, so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men. Julianna Baggott The elusive truth is that there is nothing stress-producing in the physical world. Things simply are. Molecules move. Light and sound appear. Andrew J. Bernstein I love being domestic: making coffee, just putting on a record, and just sitting, not doing anything. It's so great. Sharon Van Etten On the Internet, information from Indiana and India is equally cheap and easy to access. Ethan Zuckerman The soul has many motions, body one. Theodore Roethke I did think there were one or two referees who had a personal thing against me. It wasn't them versus Celtic - it was them against me! I just think they wanted to take me on. Gordon Strachan The first job of a writer is to be honest. Irvine Welsh I love to doubt as well as know....

To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full

of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils. Plato The Big Chill is one of those things that everybody can identify with. Between eight characters, they can pick somebody who's somewhat like them. Tom Berenger I'm a performer. I've tried everything there is. Gene Pitney Everything sells. Like integrity. Like democracy. Like truth. Like deeds. Steven Weber You can only go forward by making mistakes. Alexander McQueen I find the whole disdain for ageing crazy. Laura Linney My sister said, You're making it hard for all us housewives in Nebraska. Kate Millett I am a believer and a conformist. Georges Rouault I feel like I have lived all over the world since I get to go everywhere to film. Jackie Chan Every day is a new experience and I take it as it comes. Zac Efron

When I had the idea for 'Shopaholic', it was as though a light switched on.

I realised I actually wanted to write comedy. No apologies, no trying to be serious, just full-on entertainment. The minute I went with that and threw myself into it, it felt just like writing my first book again - it was really liberating. Sophie Kinsella I think we've broken story after story that the rest of the media refused to break even when they had the story because they were scared of the story, or they just didn't think it was appropriate. David Talbot Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms. Damien Hirst Tis the only comfort of the miserable to have partners in their woes. Miguel de Cervantes Show business is one of those things that people can use to get themselves out of the lower rung of society. Taylor Hackford I'm very happy with my body. Alicia Keys I am thinking about those things now. More so than all my friends - they're a lot older than me, but they're not even thinking about babies. Billie Pi...
