week, for 3 months, which I think is more than anybody in the Olympics. I thought well I don't need this, the girls need it, but it was a gift. David Carradine I'm hosting weekend retreats all over America. It is like a 24-hour slumber party for moms. We laugh, eat, play games, get massages, win prizes, talk about parenting and even cry a bit. Lisa Whelchel My relationship with my readers is somewhat theatrical.

of a heat-of-the-moment type of guy. A friend will tell me about something coming up, maybe that weekend, and usually not an abundance of thought goes into my doing it. Ryan Kwanten Scientists do stand on the shoulders of giants, just as do writers. Conversely, in the arts we do make discoveries. We do refine our tools. So I am arguing with, or at least playing with, the idea that art never improves. Ian Mcewan The belief that we are what the media says we are, what people perceive we are, is soon to be what we think we are. We are treated based on this warped perception. It is hard to get away from it. Kevin Eubanks He who does not fear death cares naught for threats. Pierre Corneille I was born in New York, so I'd love to study at New York University. Saoirse Ronan I don't like actors, I like women. Carlo Ponti I think money in general hurts all sports. Will McDonough The mid-life crisis hits men harder than women.

of odd jobs as a baker's apprentice and then as a fruit market porter in Manchester. John Thaw May I say, finally, that I have no illusions of grandeur; quite to the contrary, I am very humble in my knowledge that through forty years of my life my life has been an open book of service to my fellow architects and for the public good. Ralph Thomas Walker No one wants to stay in the tabloids. But it's actually not a terrible place to start. Rachel Zoe I used to do drugs, but don't tell anyone or it will ruin my image. Courtney Love Law makes long spokes of the short stakes of men. William Empson We've turned into a whining society. Billy Corgan It's hard to let new stuff in.

Joe Klein I love dressing up, though I have to hide my rubbish hair in a hat. Sophie McShera There aren't always answers for the questions you're looking for, so I have to make peace with that sometimes. Kathleen Edwards I try to write about the stuff that torments us all. Danielle Steel Win one for the Gipper. Knute Rockne We were all Romans once, I guess. Omar Epps Punk is not dead. Punk will only die when corporations can exploit and mass produce it.

Clarice Lispector

much more work to do in the process of reforming the political economy and improving the quality of life of our people and communities. Ibrahim Babangida I say that I represent this movement because my intellectual allegiances are clearly European, not African. J. M. Coetzee When I was a child I thought I saw an angel. It had wings and kinda looked like my sister. I opened the door so some light could come into the room, and it sort of faded away. My mother said it was probably my Guardian Angel. Denzel Washington That Dick Cheney is pro-torture surprises no one; he freely admits it. Nick Flynn To work with children anywhere is just plain fun.

never speak at all, and in order not to do wrong, never do anything. Henry Ward Beecher It is a warning to all those who may think about becoming involved with a terrorist network, people who are willing to destroy their own lives are hard to deter. Otto Schily I always tend to see, right after reading the script, the character and how I want to play it. I guess that's sort of most of the work, preparing for the role, but almost the creation of the character seems to go on as I read through the script. Freddie Highmore Abbott and Costello were huge for me as a very young person. Tim Heidecker I was always daydreaming about singing in big productions on Broadway.

Jim Hightower I live in Los Angeles, which is the second most polluted city in the world, and I wake up in the morning to dirt all over my window. Ryan Tedder My role model was my grandfather.

only by the standard of whether they will be future deficits or assets for our nation's competitive needs. Jonathan Kozol There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded. Mark Twain And a tiny number of people in a few states make these decisions, and we're left with these options that are increasingly not attractive to the American people. Hamilton Jordan My weakness is wearing too much leopard print. Jackie Collins My childhood was colorfully anarchic and punctuated by a lot of change.

of the Reagan years gave us 'Taxi,' 'Cheers' and the genre-defining 'Night Court,' a show you could never admit to watching without making people feel sorry for you. Rob Sheffield Sensitive people faced with the prospect of a camera portrait put on a face they think is the one they would like to show to the world... Every so often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believe. Irving Penn I'm not a breakfast eater. Sean Penn Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. Aesop I am starting to look like and perform like the Lou that I used to be.

Kristen Wiig Music always hits me when I'm driving so I keep a recorder in my bag. Angie Stone There is no free market for oil. It'...

sell it. If you don't sell it, and you do it yourself, and you wait until the screenplay is ready, you don't have to worry about that. Stephen Chbosky And sometimes I'm criticized. But I think that if those who criticize us will look at the reason why the shape is this, well then, I think that they would not object so strenuously. Minoru Yamasaki And I like being able to go back and forth, and I don't really care if it's a small budget or big budget or studio or independent, as long as it's got a story that's compelling and there's enough money to make the picture. Griffin Dunne I always mean what I say, but I don't always say what I'm thinking. Dean Smith I hate being ignored. Amanda Palmer The tones of gray, pale turquoise and pink will prevail.

year when Queen Victoria was able, for the first time, to communicate with President Buchanan, through the Transatlantic Telegraphic Cable. And they were the first to 'Twitter' transatlantically. Hans Rosling Most of what we take as being important is not material, whether it's music or feelings or love. They're things we can't really see or touch. They're not material, but they're vitally important to us. Judy Collins I was called a misogynist because I was reducing women to mothers. 'Reducing women to mothers' - now there is possibly the most anti-women statement I've heard. Steven Moffat A lot of things can't be modeled very well.

they think they can buy a woman - and they do. Olga Kurylenko Societies need rules that make no sense for individuals.
