I don't like watching shows where all of a sudden you're like, what happened? They

shot the last season in Las Vegas?Fred Armisen

I didn't know who I was writing for initially. I assumed 'Miss Peregrine' was for adults, because I was an adult - but I didn't know much about publishing back then.Ransom Riggs

We actually believe Windows 8 is the new era for the PC plus. We believe with a single push of a button you can move seamlessly in and out of both worlds. We believe you can have touch, a pen, a mouse, and a keyboard.B. Kevin Turner

Everyone has to be receptive to the decisions of the ANC because that is the political center. You have got to accept the decisions, and you also have to accept the direction that you are given by the ANC.Cyril Ramaphosa

It's really just my Hammurabi code of journalism ethics, that I don't want to ask someone to do something that I won't do myself.Hailey Gates

I've never seen a show at my high school because I was always in them.Shanice Williams

Yeah, you can disagree with someone and still be cool - that's a thing!Tomi Lahren

I love how close New York is to Europe; I love the seasons, and I don't think I could live without them. They're the way I track the passage of time.Jennifer Egan

I have a tendency to overempathize with people, which gets me into tricky situations. I can get sucked in and feel like I need to get involved, which is sometimes helpful and sometimes not. It's better to have more distance.Sarah Alexander

I can't tell the people of India that we'll burden you with high costs because the West has polluted the world, now India will pay for it. Not acceptable to us.Piyush Goyal

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...

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've created several musical trends, really. That's not because I'm so far out and fabulous.

It's because most bands have no ideas of their own. They're so desperate they'll grab at any old straw. John Lydon When I audition, I understand what it takes and the insecurities that come with it. If I do anything, I put actors at ease. I used to tell directors who weren't actors, the best thing they could do was take an acting class for a couple of months. Just to understand. Albert Brooks What is supposed to be the very essence of Judaism - which is the notion that it is by study that you make yourself a holy people - is nowhere present in Hebrew tradition before the end of the first or the beginning of the second century of the Common Era. Harold Bloom If a person studies too much and exhausts his reflective powers, he will be confused, and will not be able to apprehend even that which had been within the power of his apprehension. For the powers of the body are all alike in this respect. Maimonides Now, when I came on to Washington to begin my job, I w...

Republicans can be a funny bunch. They're against affirmative action, but they always seem to

be able to find people of color to fill a slot just when they're most needed. John Ridley I have to have coffee in the morning. Olivia Culpo More and more, I enjoy hearing people who are good at their instruments and who've found a distinctive voice. In death metal, a lot of guys are Eddie Van Halen disciples, but they take his style to really expressionistic places. It's a real pleasure for me to hear people pushing their craft. John Darnielle I think we live a culture that's obsessed with people, you know, 'Celebrities are just like us!' Everything I do except my job is critically analyzed online. Pete Wentz The amazing thing is that the more money it takes for a movie to get made, the more you feel like everybody wants you to fail. Alfonso Cuaron I think that Jersey Shore is awesome. I've gone to Cape May every summer of my life. Anne Hathaway I have a strong attachment to Harvard. Eric Maskin I am attracted to intelligence, a witty s...

Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect

for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland, we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day. Tom Hanks The merit of a democratic regime rests on one's continual willingness to exchange views, and to compete on the basis of individual merit and capacities. Jose Eduardo dos Santos I love artists like Jon B, but I don't wanna be compared to anybody. I'm just doing my interpretation of rnb and how someone like me should be doing it. Brian Harvey In recent years, we have been sending a clear, consistent signal about the harms of drugs, particularly marijuana, which for most young people is the first illegal drug that they are exposed to. John Walters It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably. Immanuel Kant When I go to a concert, I can't believe that people pay lots of money to see a band that t...

I don't want to give up living, because I enjoy it so much, and I

love working - I don't expect I'll ever have to stop. But Alzheimer's or something like that would render me pretty useless. Donald Sutherland I had a condition called gynecomastia - I had really big man-boobs, and I got a surgery for it. Josh Trank The idea of music coming from the Church is not new. Morgan Neville My life was filled with family in South Sudan. I am the seventh of nine children, and we grew up in what would be considered a middle-class family. We did not have a lot, but we did have more than a lot of other people. Alek Wek The long journey I've taken from where I started, and to end up at the Governors Awards as a governor - it was an emotional and powerful moment for me. Roger Ross Williams We have to be as good as we want to be as a nation. Brad Paisley My dad passed away when I was 10. Sterling K. Brown There is no better way to create a confident and meaningful connection with someone than to be self-assured and true to yoursel...

I never planned to be a model at all. I moved to Paris to study

art, and I was there working as an artist, taking classes, and I had a little sick dog that I was using up all of my money to try and heal. It was right at that point that this photographer, Errol Sawyer, saw me at the phoning office and convinced me to let him take my photo. Christie Brinkley In academia in general, there's this push toward using comics as an educational tool. Gene Luen Yang Writers divide into those who write biting their nails and those who don't. Some writers write licking their finger. Italo Calvino In addition to my cousin, there were 30 or 40 guys I grew up with who became firefighters as well. So, I've been around firefighters all my life. Denis Leary For me, it's important to stay healthy more than it is to have one good victory. Lukas Rosol Some things in literature are inexplicable. Halldor Laxness Sometimes your parents are the ones with the biggest mouths of all time. Dakota Johnson The World Bank can only survive if it...
