I'm still an Irish republican; I absolutely believe in Irish unity and am working to achieve that.

But over the course of 15 years or more, people like myself and others have been working to end the vicious cycle of conflict.

Martin McGuinness

It's much harder to detect a lone wolf than it is somebody who's associated with a larger organization who's having planning meetings and making phone calls to people in the organization. And so that is really how the jihad has really developed in the United States.
Peter Bergen

I'm an Obama supporter, no question. But it doesn't mean there's nothing to learn from the other side.
Brad Pitt

My native land is a slave of heathenism, men's god is their belly, and they live only for the present. The richer a man, the holier.

Jason Bateman

There is no reason to continue to fail our girls.
Efua Dorkenoo

It feels like my hard work has paid off, but at the same time, I still have the impostor, you know, syndrome. I still feel like I'm going to wake up, and everybody's going to see me for the hack I am.
Viola Davis

There's a lot of people in the community who are seeing a play for a first time, and that, to me, is really exciting.
David Denman

I always wanted to write a raccoon story. I don't know why. It's not like

I want to own a raccoon or anything like that. I'm just fascinated by them. Kathi Appelt I made a very poor decision in my first marriage. I know God's forgiven me.

Bobby Kotick A lot of people think I'm gay. I have really red

One night I was standing on Third Avenue playing my guitar, when this big Irish

policeman came strolling by, and stopped to listen to my singing and playing. When I was done, he politely handed me a ticket for disturbing the peace, while at the same time telling me how much he liked my voice. I wish I still had that ticket. Frank Stallone I've got four piercings in my left, so we've dubbed my right one the 'period drama ear.' I have to be filmed from that side when I do emotional close-ups in 'Downton.'

I know what it's like to have a broken heart. I know what it's like

to feel pain: When my songs don't become hits, it breaks my heart. There are a million ways to break a heart. I can relate. Diane Warren Boys, particularly, like stories where they can have images in their imagination, where they can go to scary places and experiment with what can happen. Morris Gleitzman Bowie is probably my favorite all-around songwriter and performer and personality. His ability to change over the years is such an inspiration. I love 'Young Americans' and 'Fame.' Scott Weiland I actually got more attention from one episode of 'The Sopranos' than I did from two years of 'The L Word.' Sarah Shahi 'American Sniper' is a movie.

Shaun Tan When I was in fourth grade, I had a lot of upheaval in my life. Both of my pa

No, I chose the name Jane Seymour because I was doing my first film, 'Ode

to Lovely War,' and one of the top agents in England spotted me dancing in the chorus. I was a singer and dancer in that movie with Maggie Smith, um, and he told me he couldn't sell me as Joyce Penelope Willomena Frankenburger. Jane Seymour Sundance was started as a mechanism for the discovery of new voices and new talent. Robert Redford The election of Senator Barack Obama brought jubilation across Africa, where millions celebrated him as 'one of their own.' George Ayittey We need to stop spending money we don't have. Paul Ryan Making love in the morning got me through morning sickness. I found I could be happy and throw up at the same time.

Adam Weishaupt I have always said that often the religion you were born with becomes more important to you as you see the universality of truth. Ram Dass I'm not afraid to die. Vivien Leigh I enjoyed the promotion

The first dream I had was just to get a college education. I got through

college in three years, taking extra classes in summer school. Eli Broad So I don't blame Boies for the decision of the Court at all.

I thought, That's what I want to do. Michael Caine My kids and my family are number one; I enjoy them the most. Jami Gertz Pretty much every plant and animal alive today

I like to be very girly, with bows and ruffles on the red carpet. I

love pastel colours, especially blue. Me and my sister both because of our eyes look good in blues. Elle Fanning I have often noticed that after I had bestowed on the characters of my novels some treasured item of my past, it would pine away in the artificial world where I had so abruptly placed it. Vladimir Nabokov Look, I am not worried about Washington cutting too much spending too fast. I mean, the kinds of spending cuts we're talking about just right now are $100 billion out of a $3.7 trillion budget. Paul Ryan Touring is very grueling. It's very taxing on the body and living out of your suitcase, going from city to city, night after night. It's a tough job. Janet Jackson I'm on 'Two and a Half Men,' and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it, and filling your head with filth. Angus T. Jones The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative

I mean, I get letters in the mail because I had a heart defect when

I was one, I had surgeries and stuff. And so you get these letters in the mail that just, they are crazy, they are just like, yes, well our son is dealing with the same thing and we saw you on TV and I mean it is such a cool thing to inspire and kind of give hope.

Barry Bostwick That's what I miss out of all this synthesized music - it starts to lose dynamics. Glenn Frey Even when one is doing well, one still worries that things might go badly again in the future. Th

We believe that in times like these we should turn to each other, not on

each other. We believe that government has a role to play, not in solving every problem in everybody's life but in helping people help themselves to the American dream. That's what Democrats believe. Deval Patrick The purpose of money is to trade for things that make you happy. So if you can bypass money and get directly to the happy, you've saved a lot of trouble. And it makes others happier, too, when you organize your business around non-monetary things. Derek Sivers I would like to do something dark or small. I love independent films. I love emotional scenes. I love people who are struggling with something. I think it's just the juxtaposition to my incredibly happy, positive demeanor.

Clara Schumann Well, shoes, bags and clutches are usually my big weaknesses - my husband always laughs when I call them 'investment pieces.' Emily Giffin I've alw

Kate McKinnon In New Zealand, we have a thing called 'tall poppy syndrome,' which, you might not have heard of it, but it's essentially where - it happens in small populations usually, but can actually happen in the U.K. - where, if someone sticks out, they get their head cut off because they are being outside the ordinary or they are showing off. Rhys Darby If they're not talking about you, you're not doing something; you're not doing anything. So if they're talking about you, you may be doing something right.

jobs, and makes America a leader again.Kevin Brady Ramen in L.A. is much better than ramen in San Francisco. That's just a fact.Alexis Ohanian Ideally, I would like to play roles in as many classics as possible: 'Rebecca,' 'Hedda Gabler.' I'm fond of a corset.Talulah Riley I always think of the Joker as the ultimate bully. Nothing he says is funny except to him.Paul Dini Fashion is instant - after six months, it disappears, and you have to start again. That's the nature of it.John Rocha I think a certain degree of pessimism is actually helpful to love.Alain de Botton Most people can't see beauty and love. I see our music as medicine.Maurice White My own ambitions were eclectic. My father ran a steel plant, and I was expected to study metallurgy and end up at the steel plant when I finished high school at age 15. Despite my proficiency at science, I decided against it and instead went on to study filmmaking.Anand Mahindra I have be
