Indeed, in strengthening our security, boosting our economy, and protecting our environment, Canada is our

friend, neighbor, partner, and ally.Amy Klobuchar

All of us would like to have our children and their grandchildren grow up with at least the level of prosperity that we had. In the U.S., we seem to be very selfish because the older generation is not making the sacrifices.Henry Paulson

We can't give the impression to our allies or friends in Asia that because the president is against TPP... that therefore, economically, we're going to pull away from Asia.William M. Daley

People my age, we would hear from our parents and grandparents who were raised in Detroit about how great this city was from 1900 to the '60s.Dan Gilbert

There is no such thing as a perfect mother.Vicki Lawrence

I want to balance my projects. Ideally, I'd like to do at least one indie film, a mainstream movie, and a TV series in a year - the best of both worlds.Coco Martin

I think the '60s was a great time for music, especially for rock and roll. It was the era of The Beatles, of The Stones, and then later on The Who and Zeppelin. But at one point in the '70s, it just kind of became... mellow.Angus Young

I grew up playing squash. I have all these squash trophies in my room... I was, like, third in the country.Lucas Hedges

When the Greatest Hits came out and we did that tour, I just felt I wanted to take a break, totally. Probably because, as well, I was so young when I got famous. I did album, tour, album, tour, album, tour, then I had a public nervous breakdown where I just lost tons of weight.Dolores O'Riordan

I think that part of the issue here is when people hear 'Black Lives Matter,' sometimes they think that someone is saying your life doesn't matter, and that's not what 'Black Lives Matter,' at least to me, is saying.Benjamin Watson

I feel my work is made for one being, one individual. You could say that's

me, but that's not really true. It's for an idealized viewer. James Turrell The only thing we know for sure about superiority in sports in the United States of America in the 20th century is that Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics teams he led stand alone as the ultimate winners. Frank Deford I love yoga. There's a lot of stretching involved, which helps with my flexibility and injury prevention. Vinyasa is my favorite as a recovery tool and for me to continue having my legs feel good. Alex Morgan When you get on the back side of your 60s, most people aren't working. Tom Petty God doesn't give you more than you can handle. Leanne Caret For as long as I can remember, I've just loved Chanel. Lily-Rose Depp I always dreamed of going to the Olympics. To be going to the Games in your own country is another thing; to do it as a potential medallist is another thing again. Hannah Mills To me, Berlin is as much a conceit as a reality. Why? Because t...

Native Americans' families experience living surrounded, living in increasingly small reservations surrounded by the society

that destroyed their civilization, and are still stigmatized. For decades and decades, for hundreds of years except in Indian schools, they weren't allowed to speak their language. That stigma takes a terrible toll. Joshua Oppenheimer Someone once accused me of slumming. I don't know what that means. I play basketball. And through that, I get to see a world that is not smart-kid world. Nick McDonell My father had a piano that was a nickelodeon - put a nickel, and the roller would play. Frank Sinatra As a child, I spent a lot of time at the library. Tracy Chapman It's such a cliche thing to say. I want to choreograph, I want to direct, I want to act, I want to write music, I want to play music, I want to sing. For me, it's never-ending. I want to do it all, really. Derek Hough Before someone can change his ideas, he has to open his heart. Maajid Nawaz In the IPL, you are often single-handedly responsible for the fortunes of your team. It makes you more ...

I just try to keep the same people I've had around me from Day One.

Keep it a real small circle because if you do that, not too much is going to go bad for you. Kevin Love I may not be as visible as I used to be, and by that I mean being in the clubhouse or on the field. But I'm just as invested as I've always been. Billy Beane I was a dancer for many years. I was a premier dancer with 'Porgy and Bess,' the opera. And I taught dance some, in different places. Maya Angelou I steal things from people, characteristics, and I just stock them in my head like a library to use for characters in the future. Luke Mably To the extent that we have a better understanding of the brain, we will have a richer appreciation of ourselves, of our fellow men and of society and, in fact, of the whole world and its problems. John Eccles I think what you wear really does need to reflect what your own personal style is. Rachel Zoe Write that novel. Start that business you've always wanted to. The ultimate high of life is the commitment to...

The fact that I'm shouting that I have Gangnam style makes people crack up. Imagine

if Brad Pitt was singing the song - would it be funny? A twist is important when it comes to writing lyrics. Psy It was so weird that I would end up directing 'The Greatest Game Ever Played,' because, y'know, I'm not a big golfer myself. But I grew up around the game. My mom and dad kind of built their dream house off the 11th fairway of Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth. Bill Paxton Every time I was driving on the L.A. freeway in a small car, it was very unnerving for me. One time I rented an SUV, and it just changed my whole perspective of driving, and I was converted to SUVs from that day on. Lauren Lee Smith One of the toughest guys in the world is Randy Couture - he is the true epitome of what a tough guy is. Jason Statham There are millions and billions of atoms of memory of all kinds of musical themes in me. Erykah Badu Even something as stupid as Vine videos makes you feel like you're making things on your own. Gillian Jacobs I am oppos...

I wrote 'Actor' all on the computer. I didn't touch any instruments until I was

in the studio. So while I had all these ornate arrangements, I didn't have any songs. St. Vincent I'm an American. I'm for prosperity. I've discovered, from 40 years of reporting, that what creates prosperity is limited government. John Stossel That's one of the things I hope that the book can do, is to restore some dignity to Joe Cinque. Helen Garner I was brought up in a very small town in upstate New York. Bill Pullman It always matters whether or not you can trust your government. Trey Gowdy I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. Famke Janssen You're not allowed to be an eccentric in the world, you have to fit it. Rupert Everett The wisdom of the wise is an uncommon degree of common sense. Dean Inge In every parting there is an image of death. George Eliot Special effects movies have taken over the universe. That and scary movies. Jami Gertz

If the brain expects that a treatment will work, it sends healing chemicals into the

bloodstream, which facilitates that. And the opposite is equally true and equally powerful: When the brain expects that a therapy will not work, it doesn't. It's called the 'nocebo' effect. Bruce Lipton I knew I wanted to do something creative, and you don't necessarily go to Harvard to do that. It's not the best choice for creative writing. Gabrielle Zevin The Jesus of the Scripture transcends all nations and calls all nations into judgment. Tony Campolo Anger is not an accepted thing for women. And, you know, I do get angry. I feel it's a very honest emotion. Rosamund Pike After I made it to the NBA, I said that I didn't want to be the last player from Africa. After my rookie year, I went to the league and talked about this, and they embraced my idea and started conducting basketball clinics in Africa, and that's when I knew I wouldn't be the last African. Dikembe Mutombo In the organization of any major sporting event or the pla...

I generally find that comparison is the fast track to unhappiness. No one ever compares

themselves to someone else and comes out even. Nine times out of ten, we compare ourselves to people who are somehow better than us and end up feeling more inadequate. Jack Canfield Did you happen to catch the film I did between 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Kong?' It was a nice little Jennifer Garner comedy, '13 Going on 30,' and I play her boss. In my big scene, I get to moonwalk - pretty well, I thought - to Michael Jackson. Andy Serkis I sincerely believe that Indians have the ability to compete with the best in the world. Dhirubhai Ambani When we adopt a dog or any pet, we know it is going to end with us having to say goodbye, but we still do it. And we do it for a very good reason: They bring so much joy and optimism and happiness. They attack every moment of every day with that attitude. Bruce Cameron Though some student activists of the 1960s may have idolized Alinsky, he didn't particularly idolize them. Bill Dedman It wasn't until I w...

Horror is about dreams and heightened states. It really is about taking away the logic

on some level and getting right to the emotion of something. Tim Minear Once on stage, I was thinking of something else, and I forgot my line. I became so frightened. The girl I was playing with also became so frightened, she couldn't give me the next line. I just walked off stage. Maria Karnilova My mom loved rock n' roll. My father hated it. We couldn't play it when he was around. He liked classical music and Duke Ellington. Patti Smith Where I went to school, Eton College, we had to wear dark trousers, a tailcoat, and a stiff, starched collar every day, and that was fine with me: Part of the reason I wanted to go there was because I've always loved dressing up. Charlie Siem Learning to face reality, refusing refuge in cliches and lies, fighting to find a way out - that's what 'Rehab' is about. Antonia Bird I want to work on the 'True Blood' comic for as long as they'll let me. Michael McMillian Partying and having all of thos...

I've never played an attorney, and I'd like to do so on a show like

'The Practice' or 'Law & Order.' Juliet Landau I wish all high schools could offer students the outside activities that were available at the old Harrison High on Chicago's West Side in the late '20s. They enabled me to become part of a school newspaper, drama group, football team and student government. Irv Kupcinet I'll hear a beat and think, 'How can I make this a banger?' I'll write the lyrics on my phone or on a piece of paper, and either way, it's going to be a slapper. Swae Lee I remember my guidance counselor, when I told her I wanted to apply to Harvard, she paused and said, 'That's in New York, right?' The funny thing is, I didn't really know. It was a few weeks before I was like, 'No, I think it's in Massachusetts.' Eliot Schrefer I've lived in Jakarta and have seen a lot more by living here, and I understand that there's so much more to Indonesia than just Bali and Jakarta. Tony...

I think copyright has its right to exist, absolutely, and I think that

it's up to copyright creators to come up with new solutions that deal with the reality of the world we're living in today. Kim Dotcom I don't commit to things unless I have my A-team to do it. And I'm not trying to be cocky, but that shows in my productions. They are top notch! Cameron Mackintosh Unfortunately, in a recession, the people who suffer the most aren't the rich, but the wanna-be rich and the poor. Robert Kiyosaki We can have a new vision, one even greater than the system they gave us after World War II. Everyone can pursue happiness and freedom and peace. Condoleezza Rice An unvirtuous citizenry tend to elect representatives who will pander to their covetous lustings. Ezra Taft Benson I've certainly written a lot of things that have more or less come true. But I don't have a gift for prophecy. Charles McCarry I'm grateful for every day I'm still alive. Everything is still working. I attribute it to eating a lot of proces...
