The first time I ever got paid to play was 1/18/99, Fire Hall in

Bordentown, New Jersey. Played first on the bill - we got paid $20!
Jack Antonoff

I literally did it through hard work and dedication. People out there who think you have to have loads of money to do this sport... it just shows you.
Charlotte Dujardin

I definitely applaud Netflix and all of those guys, whether it's Hulu or whoever, for doing original programming.
Mekhi Phifer

I listen to 'Purple Haze' a lot. If I'm in the gym, I listen to that album the whole way through sometimes.
Cam'ron

If you're applying for jobs, get a suit now, whether or not you get an interview. Spend as much as you can on it without breaking the bank. It will do you some good.
Timothy Morton

Young voters may be growing up in an era of increased global connection, cooperation and commerce. But they're very open to politicians who tell them it is these very things that are keeping elites in power and keeping their generation down.
Kristen Soltis Anderson

Notice the times in your life when you go above and beyond simply because you care so much.
Taylor Jenkins Reid

Does it make a difference if I score 8000 or 10,000 runs in Test cricket? Not in anybody's life.
Virender Sehwag

When you grow up, you think everything you own is going to be designer. Not true. Most of the stuff I own is high-street. I love mixing it up; it's so beautifully made nowadays, and the quality is of such a high standard, and let's be honest: everybody loves a bargain.
Poppy Delevingne

You know what should be banned? Stuff that's whack. The world is controversial. The world is classist. The world is racist.
Kanye West

If you... scaled down human beings, scaled down society, if you land with a group

of little boys, they are more like a scaled-down version of society than a group of little girls would be. William Golding I've been performing since I was a child; my mother would have to pull me aside and tell me that I wasn't onstage. I was a cheerleader, president of choir, and in the school play. Aja Naomi King I am a very strong supporter of our government's view that it is important to engage with all countries around the world - very much including Russia. Chrystia Freeland I was wrapping up my stint on 'Daredevil' co-writing with Andy Diggle during the Shadowland story, when Marvel asked if I was interested in doing something else with DD but a bit different. When they explained the purpose of the 'Season One' books, I was intrigued - I'm a big advocate of books for people new to the medium - and said yes. Antony Johnston Spike Lee gave me the greatest reaction to the fact that I was this athlete-meets-artist, because I think he saw ...

It's not a country of articulate people, sophisticated people. There's too little subtlety. Men and

women don't enjoy each other very much in Australia. I don't find very many men sexy in Australia. Of course, I'm married and out of it, but still. Judy Davis We asked ourselves and the world to base decisions on good science, and I really believe the United States can be the leader in delivering that message to our international trading partners. Mike Johanns Preaching is effective as long as the preacher expects something to happen-not because of the sermon, not even because of the preacher, but because of God. John Hines You know, this is a business where only 15% make a living wage and only 9% of those are women. But I figured somebody has to be that 15%, somebody's got to be one of those women. Marcia Wallace Family trips to Yellowstone and to what are now national parks in Southern Utah, driving the primitive roads and cars of that day, were real adventures. Paul D. Boyer The dread of criticism is the death of genius. William Gilmore Simms A mask...

Indians mock their corrupt politicians relentlessly, but they regard their honest politicians with

silent suspicion. The first thing they do when they hear of a supposedly 'clean' politician is to grin. It is a cliche that honest politicians in India tend to have dishonest sons, who collect money from people seeking an audience with Dad. Aravind Adiga Be able to recognize the dangerous snakes, spiders, insects, and plants that live in your area of the country. Marilyn vos Savant I might survive a few days at sea. Probably not as long as Pi. Suraj Sharma I want to show little girls that the possibilities are endless. That's my goal - to not only do it for myself, but to show them I can do whatever I put my mind to. Nicki Minaj If I had my way, I'd wear jewelry, a great pair of heels and nothing else. Jada Pinkett Smith Bangalore has become a centre for healthcare. Geoff Mulgan I'm not actually teaching any more, but I am writing pieces for schools all the time, and for kids. Peter Maxwell Davies To be great we need to win games we aren't s...

The PhD system is the real root of the evil of academic snobbery. People who

have PhDs consider themselves a priesthood, and inventors generally don't have PhDs. Freeman Dyson I don't know nothing about communism. But I know the Albanians loved me. Same reason as anyone else loves me. Because I made them laugh. Norman Wisdom I am proud to be an American, and proud that such beliefs are at the core of our country and its citizens. John Linder I have tried for much of my life to write as if I was composing my sentences to be read posthumously. Christopher Hitchens I think it's not inaccurate to say that I had a perfectly happy childhood during which I was very unhappy. Joss Whedon People that have been interested in our work for awhile... those are the last people you want to disappoint. Joel Coen I write music people enjoy playing and listening to, and I have a group that loves playing the music. Chuck Mangione Our choices are going to determine the future for our children, our children's children, and their children. I take ...

Iraq... has also had contacts with al-Qaida. Their ties may be limited by divergent ideologies,

but the two sides' mutual antipathy toward the United States and the Saudi royal family suggests that tactical cooperation between them is possible. George Tenet My chief gifts are - naturally good at all sports with a raw talent for pretty much everything, which if nurtured could develop into improper talent. Michael Sheen We must not fail to recognise that television can be a hugely positive influence in children's lives, one of the greatest educators in contemporary society and an increasing influence on all the children followed in 'Child of Our Time.' Robert Winston Redd Foxx was the same gruff old codger you saw on television. Charley Pride One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them. Thomas Jefferson I want to know what the difference between the essence of a man and woman is. Tina Turner I see badly, I hear badly, and I feel bad, but everything's fine. Jeanne Calment I am not ready to fit into the mould of...

A friend of mine had his own theater company, and he jumped me in like

I was in a gang. And once I came in, it was just that simple. For the first time in my life, I felt, 'This is a career, this is a life that I think I can grow old doing.' It was love at first sight. I loved being on stage and reading these plays. It was great. David Alan Grier In school all I wanted to do was build technology. That's what I loved. Marc Benioff I tend to build bulk and muscle easily, and running seems to make sure I stay kind of stringy, if that makes sense. Apolo Ohno That's one of the reasons I moved to Florida. Of course, the main reason is the weather and the training. But there's more jealousy in Switzerland because it's so little and they don't have so many athletes. Martina Hingis But we can also take the radical view that the test of an economy has to do with the extent to which it is providing everybody with a decent means of living. David Korten I think I came to see Islam, or at least one part of Islam, as an importa...

After all it is those who have a deep and real inner life who are

best able to deal with the irritating details of outer life. Evelyn Underhill People think I must have been so talented at an early age, but I don't know - was it talent or hard work? Who knows? Monica Seles There is no loneliness like that of a failed marriage. Alexander Theroux I avoid going through places where there's too much poverty. Loretta Lynn I'm not even kind of a lesbian. Oprah Winfrey A running theme in my life is my inability to say no to anything. David Pogue In Europe, I always have fun bike riding in Amsterdam. Ezra Koenig It is difficult to make political art work. Thom Yorke America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men. Alexander Graham Bell The glamour of it all! New York! America! Charlie Chaplin

Unfortunately, we can never truly know if we're making the right decision. What

we do know is that wherever we are, that's where the Light wants us to be. It's the best place for us to be now. And as long as we don't try to control the situation, then we won't end up in the place we shouldn't be. Yehuda Berg I've always been - you know, my personality is motivating and encouraging. And so I'm just being who God made me to be. Joel Osteen I know when I'm working I seldom get into trouble. My educated guess is that boredom has caused most of the problems with Hollywood celebrities. Hedy Lamarr When you make a great record, it's around forever. Dean Ween These are classic, perennial ideals we are dealing with. Rob Morrow There's a set of rules out there somewhere that says it all ends by 40. I hope to be able to defy that because I truly love my work. Naomi Watts I tended to emphasize the secular, the casual, the colloquial, the vernacular against the sacred. David Antin Christ: I dislike him very much. Sti...

Once during a taping there was an actor who kept blowing his lines. It happened

again and again. Finally Norman Fell came out-he wasn't even in that scene. But Norman came out and you know what he did? He killed the guy with a hammer. John Ritter I firmly believe in marriage. It's a real important decision that takes a lot of dedication and time. If you're thinking about divorce. You shouldn't get married. Seth Green In our film profession you may have Gable's looks, Tracy's art, Marlene's legs or Liz's violet eyes, but they don't mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage. Frank Capra That feeling is the same whether you're on either side of the hundredths. Obviously, it's great to win the world championship, but if you put down that kind of skiing, it's awesome either way. Bode Miller Hell is an outrage on humanity. When you tell me that your deity made you in his image, I reply that he must have been very ugly. Victor Hugo One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support...

It used to be you had real friends on the other side of the aisle.

It's not like that anymore. Society has changed. The public is to blame as well. I think the people have gotten dumber. Gary Ackerman I'm really interested in fashion but at the same time I find it quite competitive. Second-hand stuff leaves you more open to whatever your own personal style is rather than feeling dictated to by shops. Sophie Ellis-Bextor The team is very enthusiastic - everyone is trying hard to do their best, and everyone is putting a lot of effort in to moving forward and getting the right results and it's a very good, close-knit team. David Leslie I mean, I guess you could say I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Julian Casablancas What atonement is there for blood spilt upon the earth? Aeschylus If you don't know how to pronounce a word, say it loud! William Strunk, Jr. So, yeah, I can say I always set my expectations so high that I had a lot to live up to. Johnny Bench I want to try everything. Rachael Leigh Cook Network heads ...
