Police have to have one of the most difficult jobs in society today. But at

the same time, I think, a person in that position - their responsibility has to be high as well.Larry Wilmore

It wasn't until 2002 when I returned to WWE and until I had physically been out there - it was during the match when Kevin Nash blew his quad. That next morning, I was sitting on the plane, reading my Bible and the Book of Joshua, and this feeling came over me that I was back here for a reason. God built me to be a wrestler.Shawn Michaels

It is important to create credit absorption capacity rather than to just enhance lending targets.Arundhati Bhattacharya

Israel has said many times - and I also said this to German television in an interview - that we will not be the first country that introduces nuclear weapons to the Middle East.Ehud Olmert

I don't like the road. I love being on the track. I like being indoors and the fact I'm not battling past 200 other riders.Laura Trott

I have done 'Gutar-Gu,' which was a silent comedy show.Anita Hassanandani Reddy

One area of liberal phenomenon I support is female bi-sexuality.Tucker Carlson

I think art breaks down otherness.Dee Rees

I have a theory, now - that the whole of the Renaissance was peopled with girls dressed as boys so they could make art.Ali Smith

I grew up watching 'Rambo' and 'Rocky' and all of those movies, so you have a surreal moment, even as an actor, when you're in front of these guys, whether it's DeNiro or Stallone. You have a moment like, 'Geez, that's Sylvester Stallone,' and then you have to snap out of it and get back in the pocket of the character.Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

That's what I think our jobs as parents are, to educate as much as possible...

I tell them to follow their bliss. The people who follow their bliss in this world tend to be the more happier people. Art Alexakis The only time I waste is time I spend doing something that, in my gut, I know I shouldn't. If I choose to spend time playing video games or sleeping in, then it's time well spent, because I chose to do it. I did it for a reason - to relax, to decompress or to feel good, and that was what I wanted to do. Simon Sinek Meat workers may have been looked down upon socially, but at least they were well-paid and were a fit and lively bunch as a result of hard, honest physical work. Michael Leunig I decided that I wanted a farm back in 1940 when I was with the Dodgers. I tried to find one within commuting distance of New York. Larry MacPhail Oh God, are you supposed to collect things? I don't collect things. I like throwing things away. Caitlin Moran My first phone was two tin cans tied together with string, and it worked pretty good. Do

It had to happen to me sometime: sooner or later, I would have to lose

sight of the cutting edge. That moment every technical person fears - the fall into knowledge exhaustion, obsolescence, techno-fuddy-duddyism - there was no reason to think I could escape it forever. Ellen Ullman Innovation and its allure can be dangerous. It can draw you away from the user, from the intended outcome, and may be the ultimate demise of otherwise great intentions. Mark Brand My voice is different, but I don't think I'm the only one with a different take on pop music. Charli XCX In South Africa, we drive on the left-hand side, and most of the cars are standard, so I learned with a full-gear transmission with a clutch and hill starts. I've never driven an automatic until I came to Canada. Jodi Balfour Mexico has 44 treaties with other countries that make it very advantageous to do international shipping from Mexico rather than from the United States. Wilbur Ross Winning HOYS set me up for the future and prepared me for riding in front of lots of

Given Pounds and five years, and an ordinary man can in the ordinary course, without

any undue haste or putting any pressure upon his taste, surround himself with books, all in his own language, and thence forward have at least one place in the world. Augustine Birrell Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them. Linus Pauling A Bush Administration will, I believe, enjoy a better relationship with the new Congress, although President-elect Bush will be faced with real challenges in getting along with the Congress. Richard V. Allen I once thought that I was the only man that persevered to be the friend of the white man, but since they have come and cleaned out our lodges, horses, and everything else, it is hard for to believe the white man any more. Black Kettle When you finish a poem, it clicks shut like the top of a jewel box, but prose is endless. I haven't experienced an awful lot of clicking shut! Kenneth Koch I thin

As a Midlander and a big walker, I'd always loved ridge and furrow

fields, the plough-marked land as it was when it was enclosed. It is the landscape giving you a story of lives that ended with the arrival of sheep. Jim Crace I think it's really rare to see women on television who are brilliant, selfish, vain, fallible - and I feel like I have all those capacities in myself, so it's good to see people in the media representing all of those things. Kerry Bishe I never went after fame. It fell into my lap. Caitlyn Jenner My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director. Daniel Radcliffe I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet. Craig Venter The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown all over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet. George William Russell I always said if I played a drag queen, I'd want to create a template with the realness they talk about in 'Paris Is Burning.' Billy P

When I was 17, I worked in a mentoring program in Harlem designed to improve

the community. That's when I first gained an appreciation of the Harlem Renaissance, a time when African-Americans rose to prominence in American culture. For the first time, they were taken seriously as artists, musicians, writers, athletes, and as political thinkers. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I only make movies that are interesting to me. Brian Grazer I wouldn't say I was organised at all. I just have to prioritise. Is it more important for them to be organised, or to have their dinner, do you know what I mean? Jo Brand The courage in journalism is sticking up for the unpopular, not the popular. Geraldo Rivera A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live. Bertrand Russell I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image. David Bowie I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring. Jav

And in another point of view, I think it is right that the address of

a president should be on his own subject, and that different subjects should be thus brought in turn before the meetings. Arthur Cayley There's a certain kind of behavior in the Arab world that, to me, resembles the way young men behave when there is no significant influence from women in their lives. P. J. O'Rourke But you can't realize, you can't know what another person goes through. Beatrice Wood America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances. Meryl Streep I think to be 'tough' means you look relaxed. So you have to be tough to win tournaments. But you don't want to be so tough on yourself. Yani Tseng My first undertaking in the way of scientific experiment was in the field of economics and psychology. Simon Newcomb I would have gone home to my mother, but I'm not that crazy about my mother. Cher Christianity teaches that this life is not the only life, and there is a final judgme

If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of

our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long? Gloria Steinem I think that people who get to a certain position, and then try to ferociously defend it or build on it, it's kind of a dead-end street. You see people becoming miserable that way. Viggo Mortensen They sign a bunch of women, and they call it a movement. I don't like the way women in music have been identified as women first and musicians second. Michelle Shocked Funeral pomp is more for the vanity of the living than for the honor of the dead. Francois de La Rochefoucauld But groundless hope, like unconditional love, is the only kind worth having. John Perry Barlow Bing was always hesitant to accept appreciation in any form. Bob Crosby The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time. Thomas Jefferson

I love each of my kids in unique ways and try to meet their different needs so

  they can thrive and be their personal best. Yolanda Hadid I lived in Paris for about nine months. It was an experience. Sara Sampaio I don't need a pool room with medals and everything hanging up. Sonny Bill Williams I think it's important to do whatever makes you feel your best. Michelle Carter I went through a phase when I was watching a lot of foreign films, just itching to get out of the suburbs and explore. Phillipa Soo I don't believe that a piece of paper will excuse my actions. In the end, only my actions will. Frank Abagnale The Russian economy is a one-trick pony. They're totally focused on natural gas and oil. Kelly Ayotte Klopp would reproach me for not tracking back properly. I took things on board, and I listened to him. I worked hard in training; I stayed behind after training. That's what helped me to shine in the Bundesliga because I scored quite a lot of goals despite some difficult games in the league. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang I do not want to

I never thought of myself as a wealthy person. I've thought of myself as a

person who has had a lot of luck. I don't have the same stress that other people have, but there are too many things I could have done differently if wealth was what I was after. If I was all about money, I would have lived in L.A. Alec Baldwin I'm in great shape, back-in-my-football-days shape. I've worked hard to get to this point. Brian Jordan I've always talked to the media. I'm pretty respectful to the media. Bryce Harper I think part of the problem is the education system doesn't work - it's not accountable. Luis Guzman I love getting on You Tube to look at the old comics. I am in my element seeing guys like Jack Benny and Phil Silvers give interviews. Bruce Forsyth I'm an economist by training. And I know that what works is a permanent increase in buying power. Sarah Steelman Yes, we need euthanasia, for certain cases where people are in comas or too immobile to even press a button. Jack Kevorkian Music, in the past few years... anyt

I'll never understand how destroying families through deportation benefits our society. How we treat the

undocumented says a great deal about us as a people and whether or not we'll continue to fulfill the fundamental American promise of equality and opportunity for all. Conor Oberst Face it, you have to be sort of an egomaniac to write something down and think that anyone is going to want to read it. Cecily von Ziegesar I've always viewed myself as a behind-the-scenes person rather than in front of the camera. Tommy Mottola Everyone in our administration is going to cooperate. David Plouffe I did every sport under the sun while growing up. Karlie Kloss I like having curves - I'm proud of them! Lacey Schwimmer When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian. E. Stanley Jones I don't wear jewelry, as a man. Alan Tudyk Problems are hidden opportunities, and constraints can actually boost creativity. Martin Villeneuve You don't need people to tell you how beautiful you are on there. Margaret Cho
