On Monday and Thursday, I eat fewer than 500 calories a day; then I eat

like a pig for the other five days. You 'surprise' the body: keep it guessing. I got the idea from a BBC documentary about this Indian man who seemed about 138 years old and said his secret was severe calorie restriction.Jimmy Kimmel

I came to America because this is a country defined by ladders of opportunity.Dinesh D'Souza

There are a few moments in every game when I will have to sprint and use my explosiveness to win.Ali Krieger

Humor is the only way to tell a story. Especially the dark ones.Lisa Lutz

I was literally in the car every day on my way home from school trying to hurry up and get the homework done so I could just go home and watch the cartoons and not be bothered.Ray Fisher

The first perfume I remember actually having myself is Daisy.Kaia Gerber

It's like you get a high off the jumps, and you crave it, and you want to do it again and again and again.Nathan Chen

My aunts and uncles were like, 'You've got such a great voice - why don't you try out for 'American Idol?'' I'd say, 'Because I'm a songwriter, not a puppet.' Even if I won and became really successful off a show like that, I'd be miserable.Mark Foster

I'm ever-changing and always evolving, always trying new things.Thomas Rhett

When it comes to the awards and everything, and the press, the publicity, this is all icing on the cake to me.Corey Hawkins

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...

We hope and we've made clear that the forces need to come out. It needs

to be full and complete withdrawal. Our position is it needs to be done as soon as possible so that the elections can be free, fair and free of outside influence. Stephen Hadley Parks said, he's guilty and that's the end of the story. Tommy Bond We know that the nature of genius is to provide idiots with ideas twenty years later. Louis Aragon Welcome to the Salvation Army. I've never been associated with an offense so nice about giving the ball away. Hayden Fry I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination. John Keats Russia has gone through eight years of continuing economic pain. Jeffrey Sachs It's nice to get a response from the artists that I cover. Joe Cocker

If you're poor, you don't often live near a good school. If it's a competitive

public school program, our kids are not prepared to enter those programs. Sonia Sotomayor I'm a middle-class, middle-brow novelist. And that's it. It amuses me. Anita Brookner I have always had a very natural connection to the water, and that connection stems from the ocean itself. Aaron Peirsol I got married at a very young age, and of course, for all the wrong reasons, and ended up divorced and lost everything. It was a very difficult time in my life. Willie Aames We have 11 great potato flavors, and customers have been clamoring for tortilla. For over a year, we worked to develop the four flavors of tortilla popchips: chili limon, nacho cheese, ranch and salsa. They're made with traditional stoneground masa, are gluten-free, and have less than half the fat of other chips. Keith Belling I never won anything by myself. I was always strong because of help that gave me extra strength to win. Dan Gable There's a toxicity within gaming culture, and also i...

If you don't have a father, you don't miss it, because you don't know what

it is. It was really only when I married Wyatt Cooper that I understood what it was like to have a father, because he was just an extraordinary father. Gloria Vanderbilt I try to eat healthy. But sometimes, though, I eat cheeseburgers. That's good for the soul. I make sure to balance everything out. I drink tons of water. Gal Gadot After one has been in prison, it is the small things that one appreciates: being able to take a walk whenever one wants, going into a shop and buying a newspaper, speaking or choosing to remain silent. The simple act of being able to control one's person. Nelson Mandela I was well into middle age when one of my children, then in the second grade, was found to be dyslexic. I had never known the name for it, but I recognized immediately that the symptoms were also mine. Philip Schultz A presidential candidate's great desire is to be seen as pragmatic, and they hope their maneuvering and shifting will be seen in pursuit of some higher pu...

I hate these reality TV shows where people walk off Big Brother and think they're

A-list celebrities when they've done nothing in their lives, it really does my head in. Kevin Pietersen Success is just being happy. And I try so many different things. I do a lot of different things. Because I think God has helped me to love myself. I know who God is, and I love God. Herschel Walker Jumping genes are fundamental because they're agents of change. Everybody knows that organisms evolve. What makes them evolve is that their genes are dynamic and in motion. A familiar example is the stripe-y corn - called Indian corn - that you buy in the fall. Nina Fedoroff I feel like any single woman of color who's been onstage has a Shakespeare monologue in her back pocket, and a monologue from 'For Colored Girls.' It's just part of what you should have, as a woman of color. Kerry Washington As a parent, your perspective of childhood is through the eyes of this person that you care so much about and you just want the world to be great for them. You w...

If you have a film that's talking about God, you would think that it would

appeal to people that consider themselves religious, whatever denomination they're attached to. John Curran I even ate chips because I love the crunchy sound they make. And I didn't give much thought to what I was eating or what I was putting inside my body, except hummus, of course, which is one of my weaknesses. Khloe Kardashian I love to eat, I love to feed people, and I'm a great cook. I joked with my friends that I wanted to write a book where desserts had to be extensively researched, since I have a terrible sweet tooth. My particular downfall is cake. Julia Glass You can be plain and smart, or pretty and smart. You can even be plain and dumb! You just have to be yourself. Ashley Tisdale People be saying, 'Watch - when she gets some money, she's going to get a Gucci purse.' But I don't think that's my style. I like finding random stuff and random brands. Maybe one day when I'm sophisticated and older I might settle down and invest i...

If you are going to do something potentially for another eight years, you want it

to be something that you can really sink your teeth in and that's going to be different and interesting for this next period of time. Kiefer Sutherland If I'm going to be on national T.V. without my shirt on, I've got to look good. Chord Overstreet You should have a fear of some things. That doesn't mean it incapacitates you from your ability to figure out a way to deal with it. Chris Hadfield I am an enthusiastic European, and my first-hand experience of war and hatred has strengthened that conviction. I have seen how misguided unilateral nationalistic identities have brought destruction and death. I am, however, a world citizen, too. Klaus Schwab Food is entertainment now. People tune into 'Top Chef,' and they're not trying to replicate the recipes. Anthony Bourdain is entertainment. Instagramming your dishes is entertainment. David Sax I've had a very fortunate, very privileged life. I say it with all humility because it could change to...

If you're sixty-something, pushing 70, the chances of you getting a tremendously fascinating part in

the movies are very low, as to be almost negligible, or even in television. But in the theatre, there are still things to do, very interesting, very profound things. Brian Dennehy Islam tells us every girl and boy should be educated. I don't know why the Taliban have forgotten it. Malala Yousafzai I believe women who are supported by men are prostitutes; that is that, and I am heartbroken to live through a time where Wall Street money means these women are not treated with due disdain. Elizabeth Wurtzel The only good reason to embrace a philosophical position is that you are convinced it is true or at least makes sense of the world better than the alternatives. Julian Baggini I welcome newcomers to cons, or 'con-virgins' as I like to call them, by saying 'Welcome to the 'Supernatural' Circus,' and I mean it. We take pride as a cast to deliver a show that not only entertains the fans but ourselves, Creation Entertainment, and everyone involved on ...

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...

If you go out there and start making noise and making sales - people will

find you. Sales cure all. You can talk about how great your business plan is and how well you are going to do. You can make up your own opinions, but you cannot make up your own facts. Sales cure all. Daymond John I'm not going to choose between classical, Broadway or pop. I would love to stay where I am now - a mix of everything. Jackie Evancho There used to be an old bad joke. I hope it's not so much a good joke anymore. 'Everybody's from Scranton; no one's in Scranton.' Joe Biden In Los Angeles there's, like, this awful image because the girls are so skinny. I don't think it's attractive whatsoever, and I also think that it gives a bad image to kids that are in their early teens. It's not healthy. Jana Kramer Steve Jobs had his critics. Some saw him as an egomaniac, and others, as a control freak. Kevin O'Leary To wash dishes is not the same as a guy running a numerically-controlled machine. That guy running a numerically-co...
