New York was growing so fast that the extraordinary prosperity which

attended 'The Times' almost from the outset brought no real injury to any of its important rivals; for years thereafter, they all grew and prospered together.
Elmer Davis

Our financial markets work best when they are competitive, fair, and transparent.
Kenneth C. Griffin

I love karaoke - I usually do Blondie's 'Heart Of Glass,' or 'Try A Little Tenderness.'
Ian Brown

When you have something that is perfect, that occupies a position and sector unrivaled by anyone else, that's one thing we do not want to tamper with.
John Paulson

I'm very excited to have a girl.
Camila Alves

Courage does not mean not fearing or not grieving. It does mean recognizing and resisting terror management right away, from the moment of the attack, precisely when it seems most difficult to do so.
Timothy D. Snyder

I believe that women should be treated just like men.
RaeLynn

I don't mean to sound cocky, but I just wear what I like and don't try to focus too much on trends.
Adwoa Aboah

I love a good steak. I like my meat. I love broccoli - it's one of my favorites - and corn, too. I mix it up with my vegetables.
Caroline Wozniacki

The idea of multiculturalism, that every culture is equal - that's not objectively true.
Steve King

I remember at 16 years old, growing up in Queens, we were punks, but hey,

when we went to the theater, we wore a shirt and tie! Similarly, I believe that to keep movie theaters in existence, they're gonna have to make 'em an event, have a couch, a table and drinks or something. Otherwise, there's no reason to get out of your bed! James Caan The only reason I went to college was to play basketball. I injured my knee and couldn't play. Jeffrey Dean Morgan Going out and playing football or baseball with the boys, when I was a tomboy, was a great way to learn about winning and losing, and most girls didn't have that experience. Hillary Clinton If I wasn't performing, I wasn't alive. That's the truth. My parents had absolutely no interest in the business, but they knew it made me happy, so they said 'Go for it, girl!' Samantha Barks When approved, the SAFE Port Act will make progress toward protecting the physical infrastructure of our seaports as well as our national economy which is so clearly dependent on the com...

My first joke was about a company called Five Star Parking that was all over

Philadelphia: 'Who's reviewing parking lots?' Adam McKay I don't have to try to be perfect because I know that my fans like me for who I am. They like me because I am weird and kind of funky, but still really calm. Bella Thorne It's a funny feeling to work with people who you consider your colleagues and to realize that they actually are young enough to be your children. Alan Alda There was a time when cowboys respected their horses instead of riding them to death just to show off for a crowd. Tommy Lee My friends and family are amazed I've done so well. I was not a model student. No one expected that I'd build a Fortune 500 company at Symantec. John W. Thompson Before 'Moonrise,' I never thought I would be in a movie where I would be struck by lightning. Jared Gilman The theme of sisters - of missing sisters, of needing sisters, the special love that sisters share or the antagonism sisters share - is something that is very close to...

Photographic memory is often confused with another bizarre - but real - perceptual phenomenon called

eidetic memory, which occurs in between 2 and 15 percent of children and very rarely in adults. An eidetic image is essentially a vivid afterimage that lingers in the mind's eye for up to a few minutes before fading away. Joshua Foer One of my favorite films is 'Dumb and Dumber.' I'd love to do some really silly comedy someday. Paul Dano In my family, as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up, science and mathematics were held in awe. Aravind Adiga I give the spectator the possibility of participating. The audience completes the film by thinking about it; those who watch must not be just consumers ingesting spoon-fed images. Michael Haneke Even The Impostors, as silly as it is, is a very intimate film, in a way. Stanley Tucci There's no doubt I'm emotional. Sidney Crosby Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth. Francis Picabia I can only be who I am. Enya The South African government, unlike a lot of ...

That's the great thing about university: you've got people around you who are taking a

risk and trying things out themselves. It gives you the confidence to try and take it to the next step, which was drama school. Adam Rayner I'm not afraid to have a character say, 'I am a Christian,' or, 'I believe in God,' because I think they represent real people on this Earth. Tyler Perry My tutorial videos are educational, but they're goofy - I'm just being myself. Rosanna Pansino Despite the fact that feminists say they're not getting a fair deal, women are still very powerful. Les Dawson Being home schooled is awesome because you can make your own schedule, so as far as time management, it's up to you how much you get done and when you get it done. It's all got to get done; how you do it is up to you. You need a lot of self-discipline, but luckily, I have it. Jason Dolley I would have loved to have another 10 Eric Ambler books. Alan Furst I want to have all that scientific information that we're building be used in de...

If the part isn't always there on the page, I've had good relationships with writers

where there's an openness to bring more to the role. Felicity Jones When you're seven feet tall on set, people give you respect. Alan Tudyk 'Paris, Texas' gave me a chance to play compassion, and I'm spelling that with a capital C. Harry Dean Stanton I love all genres of music. I think it helps you become a better performer if you know the different types of music. Diana DeGarmo Change is incremental. Change is small. Theodore Melfi Having students was so inspiring. Alex Guarnaschelli I've been in 'Avengers' films, but I don't do a lot of the action parts. There are superheroes in the movie! People would much rather see them fight each other! Cobie Smulders When I was a kid, I really wanted a metal detector for Christmas, convinced I was going to find buried treasure and could retire at 12. Santa Claus brought me one, but sadly, that treasure was never realized. It's amazing how many bottle caps you have to dig up. But to be ...

Owned technologies are easy to grasp because they're so prevalent. They're technologies that are developed

and shaped by a defined group, usually someone selling it. Jonathan Zittrain No one suggested Lehman deserved to be saved. But the argument has been made that the crisis might have been less severe if it had been saved, because Lehman's failure created remarkable uncertainty in the market as investors became confused about the role of the government and whether it was picking winners and losers. Andrew Ross Sorkin This adoration of an artist as a lone genius is quite misled, I think, because they are very much part of their time and their community. Hannah Gadsby In the dream life, you don't deliberately set out to dream about a house night after night; the dream itself insists you look at whatever is trying to come into visibility. Jane Hirshfield Wintertime for me is a time when I do a lot of my writing in the studio. It's a time I enjoy. And it's very reflective and a very calming time of the year. Throughout the year I gather a lot of musical inspiration...

When you become successful on the level that Fleetwood Mac did, it gives you financial

freedom, which should allow you to follow your impulses. But oddly enough, they become much harder to follow. Lindsey Buckingham All of a sudden I discovered that I'm allergic to caviar. It was the perfect metaphor for my life. When I was only able to afford bad caviar, I could certainly eat my fill of it. Larry David My symphonies would have reached Opus 100 if I had but written them down... Sometimes I am so full of music, and so overflowing with melody, that I find it simply impossible to write down anything. Robert Schumann Historically, terrorism falls in a category different from crimes that concern a criminal court judge. Jurgen Habermas We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we've grown and are learning to accommodate each others' differences. Layne Staley Sometimes the greatest meals on vacations are the ones you find when Plan A falls through. Anthony Bourdain Lipitor is one of the most researched medicines. I'm glad I take Li...

One misconception is that entrepreneurs love risk. Actually, we all want things to go as

we expect. What you need is a blind optimism and a tolerance for uncertainty. Drew Houston I did grow up reading the 'Twilight' books. I feel guilty, but I was always Team Edward. Halston Sage Online theft has changed the business model of filmmaking because the DVD market is very soft. So, more ambitious, compelling, character-driven narrative of a certain budget level isn't really a viable business model in the eyes of the studios right now. Jon Favreau I pole-dance. I do. I do it at an aerobics center. Having done gymnastics for 13 years, I find it's one of the only things where I can still use my core and all my muscles. Plus, it's fun: You're a girl, and you get to dance around a pole! Serinda Swan I like nicotine because it excites my brain and helps me work. Umberto Eco Donald Trump will never turn his back on those who serve and protect us at home and abroad. Mike Pence I don't spend a lot of time watching my performances after the ...

Before I was rapping, I was always around the rap game, even though I was

in the streets. I would be at all the parties and all the events, and I was pretty hard to miss. I was one of the few Spanish cats sitting there with jewelry on, Dapper Dan suits. It was pretty hard to miss me.Fat Joe My mom, Cheryl, worked two jobs to support me. She really helped the family stay together.Zach LaVine Quality will save our company.Pier Luigi Loro Piana Sadly, I had to retire from the Bond films. The girls were getting younger, and I was just getting too old.Roger Moore Danny Lyon is one of my favorite photographers.Rachel Kushner I was trying to maintain a facade of infallibility, which is exhausting. Like, I used to wear tons of makeup because I had bad skin. I couldn't go out in public without makeup on.Mike Posner Even though I've danced with actors, it wasn't the same with NTR.Rakul Preet Singh Bill Clinton worked with a Republican Congress. They certainly had their differences on many issues, but look at what they also accomplished...

Interested listeners have only to hear the recording to find out if those guys, who

go to such pains to undervalue my work, are right. All people have to do is listen to realize it is a beautiful record. Bill Dixon You look at the world around you, and you take it apart into all its components. Then you take some of those components, throw them away, and plug in different ones, start it up and see what happens. Frederik Pohl More are the names of God and infinite are the forms through which He may be approached. In whatever name and form you worship Him, through them you will realise Him. Ramakrishna I stayed with them for about a year up there and, at night, worked over in Long Island at a club called The High Hat Club which was like a pseudo jazz / blues place. William Bell You can only hold your stomach in for so many years. Burt Reynolds Personality is reduced and deformed with depleted thoughts and stagnant mind. Hussein of Jordan When you start out without a record nobody knows you, but if you have a record it's a lot easier. John Deacon
