Women make a terrible mistake because they usually are so desperate to nest that

they pick on schlubs and worthless pieces of trash that they pick up in a bar.
Judy Sheindlin

A trial is a powerful vehicle to explain things. It is the most time that anybody spends really thinking about one thing. Unless you are the analyst on the National Security staff that's assigned to monitor Putin, and that's all you do, day in and day out, very few people ever spend the time on a single subject that is spent during trial.
David Boies

I might have a great game hitting, but if I'm not having a great game fielding, if I feel like I let a guy get an extra base that I could have stopped, that's something I've got to do better, got to get better at.
Ben Zobrist

Being a rock n' roll star ain't a part-time gig.
Steven Van Zandt

The weight of expectation is huge. But for me, that pressure has been outweighed by getting text messages from mums I know saying how huge it is for their mixed-race daughters that I am playing Hermione.
Noma Dumezweni

I come out of TV, where you never reshoot, because you don't have time. If you do reshoot, it's because someone really screwed up.
Alan Taylor

I was fired from a movie because I did 'Heathers!' I was cast in a movie, and the director saw an advance screening and was offended by it and fired me.
Winona Ryder

I know that my kids are big 'Turtles' fans because there's been this resurgence, especially with the new series on Nickelodeon.
Will Arnett

That's how I grew up. Just play defense - and make a basket.
Kawhi Leonard

I don't think most of our films should be realistic, but you want that as an artistic possibility. Then, the artist can take the realism of the world and push it in ways that we can connect with.

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

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

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

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

Napoleon's plan was for his army to arrive in Egypt not as conquerors but liberators.

Landing in Aboukir Bay on July 1, 1798, the French captured Alexandria the next day, overcoming the surprised Mamelukes - the despotic local rulers - with a combination of modern artillery and infantry tactics.Tom Reiss We have not argued in either Brazil or Argentina that the IMF should step in to protect the banks.Charles Dallara I always did what I thought was interesting. I always just did what caught my fantasy. Looking like a woman, that was never the criteria for me. It was always to do drag. And drag is not gender-specific. Drag is just drag. It's exaggeration.RuPaul I always like to read something romantic about the place I'm visiting.Anouska Hempel The support we received at OneRiot from the beginning has been amazing. Everyone's door was open, and everyone was rooting for our success. In turn, our team at OneRiot has done everything we can to return the favor.Kimbal Musk If I tell you there's cheese on the moon, bring the crackers.Tyronn Lue

When you're young you don't know anything, but you have lot of energy to express

yourself. So you make a lot of mistakes and you stumble, but you also get a lot of truth from within. Gilbert Hernandez I had no fear 'cause it seemed everyone in the audience always applauded whatever I did. Course, maybe it was because I always seemed to know everyone in the audience. Sissy Spacek When we're in the shower, when we're thinking about our idea - boy, does it sound brilliant. But the reality is that most of our ideas are actually terrible. Eric Ries My first instinct when I write songs is not a negative one. It's something positive... Everything I've ever done has some form of hope in it, I think. Noel Gallagher Life is about having a good time, and it was a good time. We did some things well and some things poorly, but that was always the case. Norman Lear I had always thought that once you grew up you could do anything you wanted - stay up all night or eat ice-cream straight out of the container. Bill Bryson Our aversion to lying i

They used to tease me at the 'Oprah' show, 'Are you really going to do

another white Shaker kitchen, with white subway tile and stainless steel appliances?' And my answer is, 'I can vary it a bit, but I'm never going to err from classic materials.' Nate Berkus It's not every day you get to be in a movie about Jackie Robinson, so you want to do it as right as you can. Andre Holland I've had so many things, good and bad, said about me. I'm way beyond worrying about what people say. Clare Balding I can remember on the first day on 'Chatroom,' it was just one scene for the whole day, which was a really nice luxury to have. Hannah Murray The real product at Diesel is satisfaction. My satisfaction at Diesel is being a pioneer. Renzo Rosso From the beginning of my time as Secretary-General, I have sought to advance a practical, action-oriented vision of the U.N. as the voice of the voiceless and the defender of the defenceless. Ban Ki-moon My mother grew up with each of her children - whatever your age, that&

When a story is flying along, and I'm so into it that my 'real' world

goes away, it can feel magical. I cease to be, my desk and computer ceases to be, and I am my character in his world. Psychologists call this a 'flow state,' and it's better than publication, money, awards, fame. Nancy Kress I've got some crazy, stupid big goals. I really wanna headline arenas. I wanna have such a big crew that we've got to have 20 or 30 buses on the road because that's how big the show we're putting on is. Hunter Hayes I used to teach animation history classes at the University of Texas, and I wrote my master's thesis on cartoons. I just love cartoons. Warren Spector I haven't looked for a golf ball since mulligans were free, which was a law I passed in 1995. Dan Jenkins I think Sacajawea was caught in a series of tragic situations - her kidnapping as a child, her being passed from tribe to tribe, being sold into marriage. However, I never thought of her as a tragic figure. I do not think she was a victim in the way we t

I do, I kick major butt in 'Dredd.' I get to kill people. I break

a guy's neck by roundhouse kicking him in the face. It was me, I did it. I learned how to roundhouse kick. I also do it with my hands cuffed behind my back so it's pretty cool I have to say. Yeah, leather body suit, blonde hair, the whole thing. Olivia Thirlby Since I was young, the artistic expression that fashion embodies has inspired me. It's a way to communicate oneself. Maria Sharapova The notion that human life is sacred just because it is human life is medieval. Peter Singer I love horseback riding. I still do it. Leona Lewis I know how to treat my voice to make it sound as good as it possibly can - which is still not that good. Calvin Harris I personally know women who are Breast Cancer survivors and will do all I can to support the cause. Besides, I love boobies! Jane Wiedlin Each work has its own space, which should neither be conceived as a sort of cage nor regarded as extending to infinity. Marino Marini We are not making a capital investment into
