It's cool to see a woman be like, 'This is what I want - this

is what I don't want.' It's good to see someone making choices for themselves.
Jessica Williams

That's everyone's motivation: to get to the playoffs and win the World Series.
Asdrubal Cabrera

I'm a huge fan of basketball. Any time you get a chance to watch basketball, I do it.
Draymond Green

We need to continue to build and support queer and trans communities and end the profiling and criminalization that so many face.
Chelsea Manning

The more things you make from scratch, the less expensive and usually healthier and tastier.
Gil Marks

The government needs to work to improve how markets perform.
Luis Videgaray Caso

I want to be a role model. I want to be able to know that I inspired girls to work hard and go for their dreams and to never give up.
Laurie Hernandez

If you play a match, then you got to give it all to beat the opponent; there is nothing like playing against a great or a non-great player. I treat them all as opponents and aim to beat them.
Lin Dan

I think the default position of humans is to be terrible, and we have to train it out of our children. That's just part of survival, right? Predator animals don't survive by being nice; humans are basically predator animals.
Wil Wheaton

I guess all my films are about resolving conflicts - and they're all love stories. If they weren't, I couldn't make them.
Sydney Pollack

I do everything I can to have a diverse career because I just want to

have options. I know that I can do Hamlet or I can do Stanley Kowalski, you know. Sam Rockwell I've been pretty good about keeping my nose to the grindstone. I feel like I won a lot of matches from hard work and persistence, even maybe when I had better options as far as shot-making. Andy Roddick When I want to render these fine nuances, I do not find them in the subject, but in the nature of women in real life who seek unhealthy emotions and are too stupid even to understand the horror in the most appalling situations. Gustave Moreau There are those who leave without our needing to detain them; we have said all there is to say. Richard Eyre I worried that people wouldn't like me. Now I try not to worry and focus on being happy. Lea Michele Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor. Herb Caen I honestly think that's one of the greatest motivators of art - the fear of not making great art. Jason McCoy The two citi...

There's a book out called 'How Money Walks' written by Travis Brown.

He's followed annual adjusted gross income from 1992 to 2011. Approximately $100 billion has moved to Florida from all over the country. Number two is Arizona. Where does it come from? It's come from New York; it's come from New Jersey; and it's come from California. Rick Scott China itself has said repeatedly that they will and have been conforming to international law. Benigno Aquino III I did not intend for there to be an incisive historical lesson in 'North and South.' Basically, it's just a good, juicy story. David L. Wolper When I went to the all-Ireland final - Kerry against Dublin - I couldn't get away for an hour and a half with people coming up and wishing me all the best. Not one of them said, 'Martin, when did you leave the IRA?' But every one of them knew I was in the IRA at one stage. Martin McGuinness The answer to neofascism is stopping neoliberalism. Putting another Clinton in the White House will fan the flames of t...

I call it an old-fashioned seafood house for the new millennium. We are trying to

update what we know as old fish houses and places like that, which are great, but I want to give it a new, fresh look with updated versions of the classics we all love. Todd English Poor men's reasons are not heard. Thomas Fuller Had Calhoun been advised by me, he would have been the most popular man in the United States. Duff Green The secret to humor is surprise. Aristotle I'm always looking for a low-budget script with an interesting character to play. Walter Koenig I dream of you to wake; would that I might Dream of you and not wake but slumber on. Christina Rossetti Honor among thieves is the ancestor of all honor. John McCarthy

I saw my dad doing it and thought to myself, 'I can do that.' I would be backstage

 watching him and running around the country with him singing to children. He would sing songs that taught children really good morals: like, 'Teaching Peace' was a song he used to sing to kids a lot. Andy Grammer I wanted to be an attorney all the way up until I was 17. Mark Foster I am not bothered about if my role in a film is small or big. Because if the character I am offered is sensible, I would do it even if it is small. Nithya Menen He's known as Sting. I have my own personal name for him, but that shall remain a personal name. Trudie Styler I wanted to play for United; I wanted to play at Old Trafford. It was always my goal. Bastian Schweinsteiger I grew up in a very middle-class life. I'm grateful for it - it has given me a lot of stability. Carrie-Anne Moss I am a human being: sometimes I am happy, but sometimes I am not feeling that great or not in a mood. Shaheer Sheikh The first time I heard the Mars Volta, I had a feeling I was experiencing something that...

This battle for 'common-sense' gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason.

All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, 'gun control' legislation. Good news - if you're a crook. Larry Elder I drive a lot. Just for pleasure. Sometimes I'll get in the Cadillac and drive around the city or the country, kind of trying to get lost basically. Y'know, just see where roads lead. Frank Black You and I will meet again, When we're least expecting it, One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won't say goodbye my friend, For you and I will meet again. Tom Petty We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world. J. William Fulbright Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. Mary Shelley Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such fr...

You can't afford for there to be gaps in your pool of knowledge when it comes to a character;

  otherwise, what ends up onscreen is generalized and unspecific. David Oyelowo As conservatives, we support free market principles and believe the private sector provides solutions that the government cannot. Mike Pompeo It is very important that people see there is a bright future, and we can re-engage that entrepreneurial spirit of the trading nation for which the U.K. has always been known - that dynamic, creative spirit. Theresa May When I began making electronic music, the only thing I was thinking about was creating music that I really liked. I didn't think about what effect it would have; I was busy doing it. Jean-Michel Jarre I worked with Herb Ritts on the Marky Mark shoot, and then Steven Meisel, and then they'd start sending limos for me, and I was like, 'That is so embarrassing. I'm not getting in a stretch limo by myself to go to a shoot.' That whole New York thing of, 'You are fabulous! Turn up to a Meisel shoot in a limo and you're fabulous!...

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 don't know what I would have done without believing in God. His support gives

me power and energy to continue to be optimistic, to smile, not to be depressed. Sometimes, if things are not going so well, I don't cry. I say maybe it's meant to be. Ofra Haza The biggest kick I get is to communicate with those who are exiled from the game - in hospitals, homes, prisons - those who have seldom seen a game, who can't travel to a game, those who are blind. Jack Buck In all honesty, I'm not able to talk about contracts. It's nothing with 'American Idol' in particular, it's just things I really need to take care of in my life. Mario Vazquez But I think once the word gets out that the movie is funny - funny is transcendent - it will traverse all demographic barriers if people embrace it as a funny movie. Thomas Haden Church It is the greatest shot of adrenaline to be doing what you have wanted to do so badly. You almost feel like you could fly without the plane. Charles Lindbergh Tyranny Absolves all faith; and who invades ou...

I get very tired of books that feel emotionally empty. I would much rather have

 writers err on the side of being overly sentimental than not. I think that the perfect balance is a story that moves you without being maudlin, but I don't enjoy books that are empty of emotion and there's no connection to the characters. Alexi Zentner If you have a vision for something, things are navigable. If it gets fuzzy, then obstacles become much more formidable. Bennett Miller I would say I've done everything I wanted to. Jean-Paul Belmondo If there's another iPhone that's better, that's sad for my old iPhone. But it means we get to use a better one. Roger Ver I don't want you to feel defeated, like, 'Oh boy, why do you do this to me?' We have too many of those songs. Kelela Red carpet is a little bit scary. It's not about expression. It's about taking a pretty picture in a really weird, awkward way, with so many people watching. It's a glamorous part of the job, but it requires its own kind of courage. Tracee Ellis Ross I was hi...

I hate to think of a day where a compelling book or a compelling authorial

voice would be lost simply because that person doesn't have a Web site. But I think that, to use the Internet in a positive way, to turn people on to reading, is something that authors shouldn't really shy away from necessarily. Marisha Pessl A person may dwell so long upon a thought that it may take him a prisoner. Edward Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax This very individualistic form of Protestant Christianity that became so basic in English and then American life is to a large degree responsible for the historical success of Britain and America. Walter Russell Mead I don't really get nervous, ever. I just have a good time. Logan Henderson If there is some art involved, I'd like it to be that it came through the cracks of daily work. Martin Mull If there is anything in the universe that can't stand discussion, let it crack. Wendell Phillips Remembering is painful, it's difficult, but it can be inspiring and it can give wisdom. Paul Greengrass At first I...
