I have been outspoken on my opposition to 'Obamacare,' and I don't buy the line

that our Medicaid program, or any function of government, has reached maximum efficiency.
Doug Ducey

I still have a day job, so I don't think I'll be a full-time Shark, but if they ever invited me back, I'd be more than happy to do it.
Troy Carter

If you have won a national award, it means you have done something great.
Remo D'Souza

I just love that whole Brill Building era. I will always regret not being there. That's where I belong.
Steven Van Zandt

I give complete respect to any couple that stays together, however they do it, whether they do it by going on red carpets or going hiking together, you know, or keeping themselves really quiet and trying to stay out of all that press stuff.
Chris Martin

It's weird to me to see how different everyone's opinion of beauty is.
Katee Sackhoff

My happiest moments of growing up in the Bronx were when my mom would bring home a new sports magazine from the candy store. I would jump out of bed and grab it from her. Then I'd rip the front cover right off and tape it to my bedroom wall.
Garry Marshall

One of the reasons I'm reluctant to start a novel is it's such an obsessive activity. You get in there, you don't know anything else while you're in there. And that's quite a sacrifice to make, especially for us old guys where time is kind of short. You don't want to disappear for a year; you want to be outdoors.
Thomas McGuane

We'd be very happy to work with any government of the day which the people in India elect.
Shehbaz Sharif

When I was in the YA age range myself, I didn't feel like there were a lot of books for me.
Angie Thomas

Priority is placed on the chastity of women. You can be corrupt, or a murderer

and still hold your head up high on the street without problems, whereas if there are any suspicions of your chastity and moral behaviour as a woman, you get lynched. Safak Pavey You have to say now that space is something. Space can vibrate, space can fluctuate, space can be quantum mechanical, but what the devil is it? Leonard Susskind I don't think Russia could start a war by attacking any of the NATO member states. Milos Zeman Like every artist that comes out, you want to make a mark; you want to be a household name and you want to be someone that people are going to look back in ten years/fifteen years' time and go, 'I love this guy Olly Murs. He was brilliant back in the day; he was someone I really, really liked.' Olly Murs Fundamentally, the basis of all modern progress is the efficiency of labor. And the only sure road to restored prosperity is through the thrift and hard work of our people as a whole. Charles M. Schwab May we treasure the divine...

In 1969, we decided we had to do certain things technically to

win, and we decided to do them then, even though we knew some of the personnel couldn't do it. In other words, instead of adapting the system to the players, we just installed our system. Then we set out to fill our team through the draft. Chuck Noll Al Sharpton is not important. He's nothing more than a black pawn in a very sophisticated white economic chess game. Byron Allen Art should not be bound by barriers or language. The Hindi film industry is a testament to that. We speak only Hindi, but we premiere in Germany and Japan. Our films do phenomenally well there. We transcend the barriers of language and culture. We welcome you in. I think that's what art should be, and I hope America reaches that place. Priyanka Chopra Main characters should grow and change during the course of a story. Leigh Michaels 'Sweetback' represented an economic tour de force because I had no partners; I own it. Melvin Van Peebles It's not natural to ou...

I was a tomboy. In my clubbing days, my friend Lucy Davies-Hunt - half-Iranian, looked

like Yasmin Le Bon - could wear catsuits, while I was the one in the sweatshirt, jeans, and Fila boots. Maxine Peake My roots are documentaries. David L. Wolper Paolo Maldini never won, but he was the best defender in the world. Gianluigi Buffon never won; he was the best goalkeeper in the world for many years. But this is the story of the Ballon d'Or. Antonio Conte Young entrepreneurs, in general, feel they're too busy running their companies, which I think is a mistake. But once they're older, you see much more of a propensity to be involved in philanthropy. Jeffrey Skoll I thought there was a glitch when they told me that in two or three weeks 'My Church' hit a million streams. Maren Morris The key is that I'm trying to keep growing and trying to keep learning and deepen my connection in every way, in my life, in my work. That's what I do when I look at a role. Forest Whitaker It strikes me as pretty interesting and cool how girls support each other in t...

On the radio there's only a certain amount of artists: Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kanye,

T-Pain, Lil Wayne, T.I., Mary J Blige, Alicia Keys. Other artists are achieving things that are really special, they have a hard time getting people's attention. Music has been just a little bit lacklustre. Q-Tip Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets. I didn't want anybody's name on my backside. I personally don't like to wear clothing that is named for somebody or has someone's likeness all over it. Matthew McConaughey I have an ambition to write a great book, but that's really a competition with myself. I've noticed that a lot of young writers, people in all media, want to be famous but they don't really want to do anything. I can't think of anything less worth striving for than fame. Zadie Smith I was the lead in 'Interview With The Vampire', until Tom Cruise decided he was interested. I was in 'The Wings Of The Dove' with Uma Thurman, until that got cancelled. I was in 'S...

I miss my friends in London, and I really miss New York. But I also

miss the stability of staying in one place and being able to just open a drawer if you've run out of sticky tape and chuck a new roll in the holder. Essie Davis In German history, we don't have many reasons to be proud. Helmut Kohl I would have thought technology would have made it harder to do what I did. Frank Abagnale Where there is humility, there is more success, and lasting success. Patrick Lencioni The public has been told repeatedly that terrorism is 'evil,' which it undoubtedly is, and that 'evildoers' are responsible for it, which doubtless they are. But beyond these justifiable condemnations, there is a historical void. Zbigniew Brzezinski A politician and a government should be judged by one way only: on the record of what you do or did, not on what you say. Shimon Peres Sometimes I wake up and look in the mirror and am like, 'Whoa!' I don't know if I'm having more fun, but I'm having a lot of fun. Natalia Dyer ...

I knew I had to write a good screenplay to be taken seriously, and I

knew I needed to present Mississippi on visuals instead of just saying, 'Hey I wanted to film it in Mississippi.' It would seem like it was a hometown boy just wanting to be home. Tate Taylor Dyslexia, though, made me realise that people who say 'but you can't do that' aren't actually very important. I don't take 'no' too seriously. Richard Rogers We don't have an Official Secrets Act in the United States, as other countries do. Under the First Amendment, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and freedom of association are more important than protecting secrets. Alan Dershowitz We don't leave home without my daughter's doll La-La. She looks like a bit of a rag, but India is obsessed with her. Georgina Chapman I like a certain style of show, I like a certain pace, I like a rhythm, I like a lot of comedy in with my drama. Amy Sherman-Palladino Fool! Don't you see now that I could have poisoned you a hundred times had I...

Of-course we did, but we didn't reply because we knew once this leaks the others

will scatter, so in the few days we moved quickly before the press got hold of it. The press did get hold of it a few days later, we nabbed, we were able to get 15, the others got away. Lee Kuan Yew I never quite understand why we watch the news. There doesn't really seem much point watching somebody tell you what the news is when you could quite easily listen to it on the radio. John Hurt The old idea of a composer suddenly having a terrific idea and sitting up all night to write it is nonsense. Nighttime is for sleeping. Benjamin Britten Bigotry murders religion to frighten fools with her ghost. Charles Caleb Colton I love to go to Washington - if only to be near my money. Bob Hope Every silver lining has a cloud. Mary Kay Ash But in reality we are accompanied by the whole dancing universe. Ruth St. Denis

I like being able to go to the cinema and sit and spend time observing something without

thinking about plot or what one character is saying. I feel like I'm able to connect on a much more profound level. David Lowery State assaults on the separation of church and state are nothing new. Adam Cohen I have great people who help me be on time, but I'm not an on-time person, and I'm very chaotic in my thoughts. Trudie Styler I love what I do for a living, but the other side, that aspect of being famous or a celebrity's got zero interest to me. Jeffrey Dean Morgan We must reject not only the stereotypes that others have of us but also those that we have of ourselves. Shirley Chisholm The Church is not fully Church if it lacks dialogue. Blase J. Cupich The men and women of the American military have the courage to follow orders. They deserve a commander-in-chief with the courage to give them. Jason Kander Things for me really started to click right after my third year in the league. I sort of figured out that there were a few things that I needed to do if I want...

I would have to say the most challenging thing about directing is the sheer stamina

because... as a director, you're always doing something. Someone always needs to talk to you. There are always decisions to be made and every day for as long as the movie goes on. So it's a marathon... You don't have to look nice, but it's all day every day. Michael Urie It's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business. Christina Aguilera It wasn't that I got pinned against my locker, but I was intensely aware that the things I valued weren't shared by anyone. Girls didn't like me, and I had few friends. Josh Groban We must also win really sufficient and, above all, practical, guarantees for the freedom of the seas and for the further fulfilment of our economic and political tasks throughout the world. Bernhard von Bulow For thugs from the ghetto, violence is a way of life - it's what helps you survive. Suge Knight Now we are using the body scanner to s...

If you're looking to grow your user base, is there a best way to cost-effectively

attract valuable users? I'm increasingly convinced the best way is by harnessing a concept called social proof, a relatively untapped gold mine in the age of the social web. Aileen Lee We must assimilate the thought that life between death and a new birth is so constituted that everything we do awakens an echo in the environment. Rudolf Steiner The adulation or the superstardom is something I could leave out quite happily. George Harrison I think 'weird' is an interesting way to say 'unique.' It has a strange connotation, but weird is good. If you embrace your weirdness, you'll be on the way to becoming who you are. Ben Falcone One of the things that was missing from the 2014 election was a Contract With America type of platform. Ron DeSantis Local businesses and communities must be included from the very start in developing solutions to fragility, violence, and conflict. Peter Maurer I love having boyfriends. I love dating. I do not want a husband in my house...
