As a mom of three young kids, it's difficult to reserve a big chunk of time for shopping,

so I try to get my gifts little by little throughout the year. I think this is especially helpful for those of us who are budget conscious.

Camila Alves

I've worked with David Lynch since I was 17, and working with him is home and family; being around Alexander Payne is home and family, Jonathan Demme. There are directors... Robert Altman, Paul Thomas Anderson... They are directors where I create homes.
Laura Dern

I wanted to be the best, and I was going to outplay anyone out there. I've always been that way.
Eric Weddle

Writing about a person whose struggle you wish you could solve is an act of compassion and also, frankly, opportunism.
Karen Bender

I'm not afraid of needles.
Joanna Krupa

My definition of media? 'Anything which owns attention.' This could be a game or, perhaps, a platform. Ironically, the media tends to associate media with publishing - digital or otherwise - which, in turn, is too narrow a way to consider not only the media but also the reality of the competitive landscape and media-focused innovation.
Om Malik

Everyone has bad days, and when you're having a bad day, you think, 'Here I am being singled out by a hostile, malicious universe that is picking exclusively on me.' And then you read a book about bad days and realize they happen to everyone, not just tormented, persecuted you.
Judith Viorst

Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success, then nobody knows how it is, but in Liverpool, everybody knows how it was.
Jurgen Klopp

Having read my share of tell-alls over the year, including some that were passed off as autobiographies, I mostly feel sad - sometimes for the writer and sometimes for all the people in his way. I hope that the process of writing the tell-all gives some release and closure on what clearly was an unpleasant and unfulfilling life experience.
Brad Feld

Any negotiation on the basis of land for peace is a fatal mistake.
Avigdor Lieberman

You cannot put 50 years of the Marvel universe into a movie. It's impossible.
Edgar Wright

There is constant talk about the intermarriage crisis: who is a Jew and how

we define a Jew. That doesn't go over well with young Jews trying to figure out whether they want to be a part of this thing or not. Tahl Raz I've been studying voice for quite a while, especially opera, for at least seven or eight years. Shelly Burch Like anything, I remember who I work for. You work for the people who sent you to office. Darryl Glenn For the bourgeoisie, the main danger against which it had to be protected, that which had to be avoided at all costs, was armed uprising, was the armed people, was the workers taking to the streets in an assault against the government. Michel Foucault My grandmother is a huge part of my life. She's just a great woman: a woman of the church. Chance The Rapper I don't think we can fix poverty without fixing housing, and I don't think we can address housing without understanding landlords. Matthew Desmond One of my best friends since I was eleven years old is a gay man, and I knew his struggle. It was a tough life, you ...

Tough times have always lent themselves to nativist sentiments and closed-door policies. But in the

case of highly skilled immigrants, these policies are a recipe for stagnation. James Surowiecki I use that as my responsibility on the show, to be the pragmatist. Fisher Stevens I don't have to put on shoulder pads and run out there and let somebody hit on me a little bit. Emmitt Smith Nothing scares me but God. Lil Wayne Not to like ice cream is to show oneself uninterested in food. Joseph Epstein One's life has many compartments. Harold Pinter Government just simply can't do everything for everyone. Jan Brewer I now walk into the wild. Christopher McCandless No, I'm not a scientologist. Katharine McPhee I always look for reality. I look for plain truthful roles. Jim Caviezel

Fantasy is my favorite genre for reading and writing. We have more options than anyone

else, and the best props and special effects. That means if you want to write a fantasy story with Norse gods, sentient robots, and telepathic dinosaurs, you can do just that. Want to throw in a vampire and a lesbian unicorn while you're at it? Go ahead. Patrick Rothfuss And there should not be a limit on the creation of new public schools. We ought to expand choices for parents. John Engler I think that where I've watched a movie go wrong, it's usually because the dread committee has been interfering with it. John le Carre Nothing is less predictable than the development of an active scientific field. Charles Francis Richter You've got to guard against speaking more clearly than you think. Howard Baker Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up. Mahatma Gandhi Four personalities are bound to clash. John Deacon I was a small kid from Huntington, Long Island. I n...

If the film is a hit then everyone shares the success. If it is going

to be a disaster then it might as well be because of me, not because of somebody else. Salman Khan Is Europe going to be breaking? I don't think so. I think the euro will stay. I think at the end of the day Europeans will find the solutions in order to hold Europe together. Carlos Ghosn Attending that Convention and talking with those people and many others convinced me that I should become a blogger in my efforts to reform the government and uphold the integrity of the Constitution and the laws made in furtherance thereof. John Jay Hooker I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes. Richard Krajicek I never read reviews at all. I'm proud of the work I did. Nicole Kidman I only understand friendship or scorched earth. Roger Ailes It's a wise thing to hold back. Julian Clary I don't like violence. Katey Sagal I get nervous every time, for every single performance, before getting up on that stage. Thia Megia Those early days of come...

My father's encouragement is what has brought me this far, because when I grew up

I wanted to be like him, and I knew I had that ability to become an athlete. Being an Olympian is one of the greatest things, and being an Olympic gold medallist is one of the most prestigious titles in the world. David Rudisha The 'American Idol' and 'X Factor' shows, they're great shows. But I think I need to make a show like that, directed straight to the hood, to the artists that don't get the attention, that don't have the money to make themselves representable. Snoop Dogg So just as I want pilots on the planes that I fly, when it comes to monetary policy, I want to think that there is someone with sound judgement at the controls. Martin Feldstein Me and my sisters all have such different body types. Kim Kardashian Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating? Cate Blanchett Boston is safe. And we're going to keep it safe. Thomas Menino I think people know that I've got a good heart. David Hass...

Whether the prayer of Seneca was granted we do not know; but, as we do

not again hear of Marcus, it is probable that he died before his father, and that the line of Seneca, like that of so many great men, became extinct in the second generation. Frederic William Farrar There is a formula that allows you to write a decent song. But a song like 'You're All I Need to Get By,' it just writes itself. Valerie Simpson A sudden dart when a little over a hundred feet from the end of the track, or a little over 120 feet from the point at which it rose into the air, ended the flight. Orville Wright Winning excuses everything. Cam Newton You won't catch me giving clear lectures. Donald Norman Faith is a state of openness or trust. Alan Watts Man is a make-believe animal: he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part. William Hazlitt To some people heavy metal is Motorhead and to others it's Judas Priest. Glenn Danzig In Paris, everybody is in black! But you know, in Ukraine everyone wears bright colours. Olga Ku...

I know when I go outside, there'll be a van or two and they'll probably

follow us four out of seven days a week, trying to get something. But I'm just going across town and I know they're just wasting their day, so it doesn't bother me anymore. Brad Pitt Americans believe that people should work hard and get ahead on their own, but when disaster strikes and they need help with retirement or disability, Americans as a whole should come to their aid. Jacob Hacker Personally, I just got one of these Vonage IP phones. It's actually pretty cool. It comes with one of these Cisco ATA routers where you just plug an analog handset in. Rob Glaser I'm a writer first and an editor second... or maybe third or even fourth. Successful editing requires a very specific set of skills, and I don't claim to have all of them at my command. Lynn Abbey The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. Jim Morrison But the p...

I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force

it on the world at large - especially this world, so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men. Julianna Baggott The elusive truth is that there is nothing stress-producing in the physical world. Things simply are. Molecules move. Light and sound appear. Andrew J. Bernstein I love being domestic: making coffee, just putting on a record, and just sitting, not doing anything. It's so great. Sharon Van Etten On the Internet, information from Indiana and India is equally cheap and easy to access. Ethan Zuckerman The soul has many motions, body one. Theodore Roethke I did think there were one or two referees who had a personal thing against me. It wasn't them versus Celtic - it was them against me! I just think they wanted to take me on. Gordon Strachan The first job of a writer is to be honest. Irvine Welsh I love to doubt as well as know....

There was a uniqueness to the American case of slavery. 10 million people, a conservative

estimate, were brought to America... hundreds of people were set up in work camps, and hereditary-forced labor was put in place. That's a very different thing than the personal slavery that existed elsewhere. Edward Ball I'm very competitive but in a very nice way. Faith Hill I always feel I can play a role - just give me the time to do the preparation and I'll be it. Mira Sorvino I'm a Catholic, but I used to love going to Vacation Bible School with my fundamentalist friends. Paul Begala I'm taking a lot of freestyle music and flipping it. Pitbull You don't boo at a Kemp rally. You boo at football games. Jack Kemp And I watch 'Saturday Night Live' religiously, I have since I was a little boy. I watch it basically like one of my favorite sports teams. Ty Burrell Audrey Hepburn's face was made for the camera. Christine Baranski Trends don't interest me. Manolo Blahnik

To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full

of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils. Plato The Big Chill is one of those things that everybody can identify with. Between eight characters, they can pick somebody who's somewhat like them. Tom Berenger I'm a performer. I've tried everything there is. Gene Pitney Everything sells. Like integrity. Like democracy. Like truth. Like deeds. Steven Weber You can only go forward by making mistakes. Alexander McQueen I find the whole disdain for ageing crazy. Laura Linney My sister said, You're making it hard for all us housewives in Nebraska. Kate Millett I am a believer and a conformist. Georges Rouault I feel like I have lived all over the world since I get to go everywhere to film. Jackie Chan Every day is a new experience and I take it as it comes. Zac Efron
