Baby wipes are great for everything! For wiping babies' butts, as an eye-makeup remover, to

wipe the counter, to clean my hands at the airport, just everything. Bethenny Frankel I think it'd be a real nightmare to put a record out and sell 20 million copies and then that's it. Lenny Kravitz I think every family is dysfunctional, and some manage to control it better than others. Viggo Mortensen It was always acting, singing and dancing that I loved. Linda Lavin I never pay a fortune for clothes. Joss Stone It's my life and my death. Gary Gilmore So if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready, and that is how I run my life. Will Smith We shouldn't accept things just because somebody says so. Dixie Lee Ray I'm not brave at all. Matt Nagle I'm a very slow reader. Chip Kidd

Certainly situation comedy is harder than people who are good at it make it look,

but it's fun to do something different. Laura San Giacomo Catsuits were big for me in the '90s, and I had many of them. Even catsuits with shorts in them. Soleil Moon Frye What I generally get from being in Africa is a sense of warmth and openness. As a stranger, you are always welcomed into people's homes and people are always offering you food. That generosity is incredibly touching. Naomie Harris Technologies tend to undermine community and encourage individualism. Henry Mintzberg New York is where you go to catch a big fish. Jessica Cutler I freely admit that I am a bit of a misfit. Rhys Ifans Sometimes you're afraid to fall in love with a chick, but she sucks you in anyway. Sammy Hagar It's a unique thing to stand in front of a crowd and sing your songs. Marcus Mumford When I was a kid, I used to think pork chops and karate chops were the same thing. Shane Koyczan I could easily escape to a hotel for a weekend and do absolutely nothin...

How proud I am to be compared to Oprah. I really admire her. She's a

minority woman and she's done all this by herself... I'm very happy to be Oprah with salsa and not Donahue in drag. Cristina Saralegui Smoking sucks! The one thing I would say to my kid is, 'It's not just that it's bad for you. Do you want to spend the rest of your life fighting a stupid addiction to a stupid thing that doesn't even really give you a good buzz?' Katherine Heigl Life must be a constant education; one must learn everything, from speaking to dying. Gustave Flaubert Regardless of what we do, our karma has no hold on us. Bodhidharma I have gotten used to working in the dark and I dig it. Jorge Garcia The more I talk about things, the more I understand myself. Gavin Rossdale One thing about a skater: they never quit. So a skater, to sum it up, is awesome. Lil Wayne Hendrix rehearsed different drummers, before we met Mitch Mitchell. Noel Redding Usually when I'm trying to establish character, I try and find out where the...

I have nothing against priests. In fact, I tried for a time to be one...

It should be clear, then, that I respect, and am often fond of, the many priests in my life. Garry Wills It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life, not having to think about anything. Julie Walters Duty - that which sternly impels us in the direction of profit, along the line of desire. Ambrose Bierce My identity is very clear to me now, I am a black woman. Lena Horne I'm a wandering gypsy. Lady Gaga Ignorance is kind of bliss. Jackie DeShannon The impressions of the spriritual experiences gave my future life its form and content. Gustav Mahler A state is not a state if it belongs to one man. Sophocles Nature provides a free lunch, but only if we control our appetites. William Ruckelshaus I started out singing in high school in the choir and in a garage band. Stark Sands

The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise one's neighbor and this fact goes

far to account for religious intolerance. It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell. Aleister Crowley I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body. Now, I recognize that there are certain postures and angles that make people see red, which are evidence of original sin or something, and I avoid that. Jock Sturges You get three hours' sleep and then you start all over again. Relentless. Pre-production was almost harder than filming. I was all over the city every day. It was really exhausting. Ed Harris I never used the press for anything except my charity. Heather Mills If you copy then it is not self-expression. Michael Schenker Mary Queen of Scots was my first love, and that is always something special. Antonia Fraser Film provides an opportunity to marry the power of ideas with the power of images. Steven Bochco When people are nice to me, I'm nice to them. Juan Pablo Montoy...

The writers have slowly taken the show, with subjects other gay shows have dived right

into, slowly. It was over a year before Will even started to date. Sean Hayes What I want the Congress of the United States to do, and frankly what I would like to see the President of the United States of America do, is speak a word of support to the people of Iran. Mike Pence In theatres, you're kind of disconnected. Also, it's way too big for the likes of me. Unless you're Robin Williams or someone that can fill a stage with movement and energy, it just looks like a small man on a big stage. Norm MacDonald I'm fortunate to make any money as a blogger. Mickey Kaus All languages had their birth, their apogee and decline. Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin I don't come from a privileged background. Bernadine Dohrn I'm tough on the outside and soft on the inside... I'm really a shy guy. Milo Ventimiglia I'm a journalist and that's what I do. Jim Lehrer Virtue consisted in avoiding scandal and venereal disease. Robert Cecil I spen...

As long as I was breathing with the contractions and not pushing against them, I

felt better. That idea is fundamental-to feel pain and not to resist; to go towards it. It is an incredibly spiritual practice. Christy Turlington If I'm nervous, it means I had to work hard to get there, whether it's playing in a tournament or speaking at an event. So I try to stop and be proud of getting to live in that moment. Maria Sharapova Meaning and reality were not hidden somewhere behind things, they were in them, in all of them. Hermann Hesse I love British bands. Taylor Momsen Tell the truth and shame the devil. Francois Rabelais Wall Street has too much wealth and political power. Charlie Munger Dancers are a work of art - they are the canvas on which their work is painted. Patrick Duffy As many Giants fans know, we're one of the few teams without cheerleaders. Steve Tisch I'm no one's pet, and I intend to be an independent voice in the U.S. Senate. Chris Coons To innovate is not to reform. Edmund Burke

I'm not executing my pitches. I'm not commanding my fastball, and I get behind in

the count. When I try to throw strikes, I'm getting hurt. That's not the way I pitch. Johan Santana For all its terrible faults, in one sense America is still the last, best hope of mankind, because it spells out so vividly the kind of happiness that most people actually want, regardless of what they are told they ought to want. Ferdinand Mount I believe that everyone can appreciate the right of a family to grieve the loss of a loved one in peace, regardless of anyone's position on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Dave Reichert What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions. Ang Lee I like to work at night. Terry Southern I'm your average Joe guy. I don't really care for politicians. John Mellencamp So-called 'sustainable development'... is meaningless drivel. James Lovelock I was shocked at the anger toward me. Bernadine Dohrn If you are going to remake a film, you may as well remake a classic. Liev Schreiber Usually I ...

Love is an emotion. It can't be seen or touched, and it is experienced differently

by everyone, therefore it is difficult to measure. Marian Keyes I think it need realness, you should speak on thing that you know about, that you being from, that you experienced or that you been around, you know. I think you need a good hook, good beats and good lyrics. Obie Trice People value Halloween, like Valentine's Day, because they can tell themselves that it's not merely secularized but actually secular, which is to say, not Christian, Jewish, Hindu or Muslim. Amity Shlaes Great interests demand great safeguards. Thomas Francis Meagher I was always my own person. Little Richard Awards sell tickets, and they're a clever publicity stunt. Tony Randall The business end of business has never interested me. Hugh Hefner To listen to some devout people, one would imagine that God never laughs. Sri Aurobindo I'm a Libra. That means that I can make a decision, but only after much thought. P. J. Harvey Watch the History Channel if you want it li...

To be told that one can be dependent on one's parents until age 26 should

strike a young person who wants to grow up as demeaning, not as something to celebrate. Dennis Prager The legal difference between the sit-ins and the Freedom Riders was significant. Constance Baker Motley I should probably confess that I get bored easily, which explains my reluctance to work with formula, tropes, whatever. Kit Reed I mean, where I come from, 'communism' is not a terrible word. Seth Rogen Grief releases love and it also instills a profound sense of connection. Jacqueline Novogratz Victory puts us on a level with heaven. Lucretius There is not much danger of the smaller nations if the big nations will behave. George William Norris I did get a degree in special education. Clay Aiken Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus, or just a really cool Opotamus? Mitch Hedberg Happiness is no respecter of persons. Stephen Fry

Cooking for people is an enormously significant expression of generosity and soulfulness, and entertaining is

a way to be both generous and creative. You're sharing your life with people. Of course, it's also an expression of your own need for approval and applause. Nothing wrong with that. Ted Allen The trouble with being a ghostwriter or artist is that you must remain rather anonymously without credit. If one wants the credit, one has to cease being a ghost and become a leader or innovator. Bob Kane I won't apologize for ticket prices. I think we're well worth it. We consider ourselves in the elite touring acts, like the Stones, Elton John, Paul McCartney. Glenn Frey I think these people have betrayed or have forgotten their ancestors. Zhu Rongji The value of a good education has never left me. Michelle Pfeiffer I've spent my life hearing people trying to apologize for music. Mike Figgis Leverage your brand. You shouldn't let two guys in a garage eat your shorts. Guy Kawasaki People either leave or they stay. Mark Thomas No mortal man has ever ...

Harvard Medical School, the University of South Florida and the American Psychiatric Association have all

conducted studies showing that the earlier one begins gambling, the more likely it is he or she will become an addicted, problem gambler. Spencer Bachus It is a different genre - a show about something other than doctors, lawyers and cops. Teachers are something completely different. I think it makes for very interesting television. Chi McBride I always say that the real success of Wine Library wasn't due to the videos I posted, but to the hours I spent talking to people online afterward, making connections and building relationships. Gary Vaynerchuk War and preparations for war have acquired a kind of legitimacy. Alva Myrdal I love my kids; I'm very close to all three of them. Mike Huckabee Raising kids is part joy and part guerrilla warfare. Ed Asner It's like going back to school. You know, autumn! Time for 'Harry Potter'. Robbie Coltraine I'm proud of being British, but I think our aristocracy is overrated. Paloma Faith American profe...

And in an era where radio stations that are inclined to play Styx music are

your classic rock stations and the stations that play current music look at us as dinosaurs - the only way we could reach people with our new music, generally, is to perform live. James Young And it's very strange, but I think there is something very common - not only in Celtic music - but there is a factor or element in Celtic music that is similar in music that we find in Japan, the United States, Europe, and even China and other Asian countries. Nobuo Uematsu Therefore, I do not wish to consider any proposition to cede any portion of our tribal holdings to the Great Father. Sitting Bull One of the privileges of the great is to witness catastrophes from a terrace. Jean Giraudoux You shouldn't use anything as the sole source for anything, in my view. Jimmy Wales Marriage: love, honor, and negotiate. Joe Moore We're divorced from my father because he did some mean and scary things to us. Mattie Stepanek It's my job as governor to set a vision. Mary...

I have made a career of creating characters who fight school authority and chomp at

the bit to get out into the 'real' world and live their lives, mostly because that's the kind of teenager I was. Chris Crutcher Do not be afraid to make decisions, do not be afraid to make mistakes. Carly Fiorina I play characters. I don't think I really have a persona per se. I don't play the same guy every time. I show up, you don't know what I'm gonna do. I like it that way. I've intentionally tried to do it that way. I think that's what's interesting. Laurence Fishburne I think people in general think more about their insecurities. Emily VanCamp For six years, from 1985 to 1991, I felt pretty weak and useless. Ang Lee My life turned out to be beyond my greatest dreams. Anthony Hopkins There are some hot girls in Vancouver. Chaske Spencer I want to help promote Korean music around the world. Swizz Beatz I always say I was born too late in the world, too old. Olivier Martinez Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol i...

If you wish to spare yourself and your venerable family, give heed to my advice

with the ear of intelligence. If you do not, you will see what God has willed. Hulagu Khan I come from a great family. I've seen family life and I know how wonderful, how nurturing, and how wonderful it can be. Sidney Poitier I kinda see everyone as competition. Janet Jackson Black Flag was formed in 1977. We first recorded in 1978. Greg Ginn To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible. Antoine de Saint-Exupery I don't really need to be dirty to be funny. Jimmy Kimmel No one is pro-abortion. Barack Obama The child is pronounced pretty. I think it quite otherwise. Salmon P. Chase It makes you more open, it gives you perspective, having a child. Tracey Ullman It is best to live however one can be. Sophocles

Gemeoss

I made a Christmas album a couple of years ago and just put it out

on my Web site. It kind of smacked of this flavor. All of the reviews said it was Western swing even when it was Christmas standards. Suzy Bogguss Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. William Shakespeare To be a good draftsman was to me a blessing. John James Audubon As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can't remember the other two. Norman Wisdom Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives. Louise L. Hay We have two evils to fight, capitalism and racism. We must destroy both racism and capitalism. Huey Newton Talk ought always to run obliquely, not nose to nose with no chance of mental escape. Frank Moore Colby

'No Child Left Behind' requires states and school districts to ensure that all

students are learning and are reaching their highest potential. Special education students should not be left out of these accountability mechanisms. Dianne Feinstein You couldn't have done this without killing an Arab prince. Michael Scheuer I'm a horrible public speaker. Bill Condon Both mind and heart when given up to reveries and dreaminess, have a thousand avenues open for the entrance of evil. Charles Simmons The last suit that you wear, you don't need any pockets. Wayne Dyer It is great wealth to a soul to live frugally with a contented mind. Lucretius How can you practice dancing in an airplane? There's a law against it. George Murphy

That's where I got my start and where I'll continue to work, but I can't

tell you the number of films between Drugstore Cowboy and Curly Sue that I auditioned for and wanted that didn't choose me. Kelly Lynch I haven't spoken English with native speakers in several months. I've been speaking Arabic. John Walker Lindh Today you can't go by the titles of the shows to know what the content of the show may be. Donna Douglas It hinders the creative work of the mind if the intellect examines too closely the ideas as they pour in. Friedrich Schiller We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it. Willie Nelson We all want peace. Unfortunately, there are times when peace must be defended by fighting terror and tyranny. James H. Douglas, Jr. It is hard to say why politicians are called servants, unless it is because a good one is hard to find. Gerald F. Lieberman

'The Golden Compass' became a bad experience because the studio didn't have faith in the

strength of the ideas of the novel, which is ironic because it's one of the greatest fantasy novels ever written, if not the greatest, and they took the religion out of it and tried to turn it into a popcorn movie. Chris Weitz If I feel strongly, I say it. I know I can do more good by being vocal than by staying quiet. I'd have a whole lot more money if I lied, but I wouldn't enjoy spending it. Martina Navratilova I saw Ronnie Hawkins play near my hometown, Port Dover, Ontario, and I saw him play there on New Year's Eve and the following spring I booked myself to be his opening act on maybe five shows, and he hired me after the first night. Rick Danko You sort of have to become what you're wearing. Pharrell Williams I believe in status symbols. Brooks Stevens The path that went by the little house had become a road. Almost every day Laura and Mary stopped their playing and stared in surprise at a wagon slowly creaking by on that road. Laura Ingalls W...

I really want to move away from the old model in which you have to

rely on people giving $10 after a humanitarian crisis to a newer model where people give money but also their time and their skills, whatever they have, to the causes that are personally meaningful to them well before the crisis moment presents itself. Chris Hughes At one time, I was persuaded to want to make music, and people answered me that that was not possible. Yannick Noah Soldiers of the American Revolution fought that 18th century war with heavy muskets. In the early 20th century, we kids fought it every Fourth of July not only with exploding powder and shimmering flares, but with all of our senses. Paul Engle Strength does not have to be belligerent and loud. Russell Brand You don't have to invent the wheel, but you might want to be the company that invents the rims. MC Hammer The power which money gives is that of brute force; it is the power of the bludgeon and the bayonet. William Cobbett Men need to live and breathe women. Adam Levine I am a lover ...

It was impossible for me to believe that conditions in Europe could be worse than

they were in the Polish section of Chicago, and in many Italian and Irish tenements, or that any workshops could be worse than some of those I had seen in our foreign quarters. Alice Hamilton What is sad for women of my generation is that they weren't supposed to work if they had families. What were they going to do when the children are grown - watch the raindrops coming down the window pane? Jackie Kennedy In order for the artist to have a world to express he must first be situated in this world, oppressed or oppressing, resigned or rebellious, a man among men. Charles Baudelaire In matters of commerce the fault of the Dutch Is offering too little and asking too much. The French are with equal advantage content, So we clap on Dutch bottoms just twenty per cent. George Canning Money is only useful when you get rid of it. It is like the odd card in 'Old Maid'; the player who is finally left with it has lost. Evelyn Waugh Life is ten percent what happens to yo...

I can't really recall the first time I was noticed by a producer but the

first time I was on television was doing Daytime for Another World, which I started in December '75 and went until December '76. Ted Shackelford Heaven will be no heaven to me if I do not meet my wife there. Andrew Jackson So I went way too in depth? I thought they wanted the hole by hole. Trent Dilfer My early and invincible love of reading I would not exchange for all the riches of India. Edward Gibbon Reason is the enemy of faith. Martin Luther When I'm not hitting, I don't hit nobody. But, when I'm hitting, I hit anybody. Willie Mays Whoever is detected in a shameful fraud is ever after not believed even if they speak the truth. Phaedrus

I am more of a New Yorker than ever and just actually, sometimes I fantasize

about living somewhere else, where it's maybe not quite so crowded or stressful, blah, blah, blah and after September 11th, I guess I could just not imagine living anywhere else. Sigourney Weaver The people who are competing business-wise out there want what other successful labels and artists have. I don't want what they have; I want my own path, my own sound, my own identity. Record labels care nothing about identity or artistic freedom, they want good business. Joe Nichols I learned, too, how it was possible with the help of the picture and action to transform an apparently insignificant violin passage into an incident, and to lift a simple horn call into a thing of stupendous significance by means of scenic emphasis. Anton Seidl We are not angels, we are merely sophisticated apes. Yet we feel like angels trapped inside the bodies of beasts, craving transcendence and all the time trying to spread our wings and fly off, and it's really a very odd predicament to b...

Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts

me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness. Helen Keller For me, unemployment and poverty in the Greater Montreal area is not mainly a problem of structure, or design, or statistics. It is a profoundly human situation. Kim Campbell Nature makes woman to be won and men to win. George William Curtis I'm pretty catholic about what constitutes science fiction. Frederik Pohl Paradise is exactly like where you are right now... only much, much better. Laurie Anderson

The biggest difference between L.A. and my hometown in Georgia is when Georgia goes to

sleep, L.A. wakes up. So, like, in LaGrange, when people are going to sleep at 10, 11 to get up in the morning, we're just getting dressed to go out. Elijah Kelley It's the invincible arrogance of Europe's elites that gets me. These are people who have seen the euro collapse. These are people who are presiding over a migration crisis on their borders, and yet do they ever acknowledge that they need to change? No. They say they need more integration, more of our money, more control over this country. Michael Gove Every social media post should have a beautiful graphic. If there are two identical stories, the one with the beautiful graphic will always win. Guy Kawasaki I'm training at Phase 1 Sports in Las Vegas, and it's a very high-end training facility for a lot of top-level athletes. I have been able to add a lot of power and the endurance to keep that power going. I've always been powerful, but the muscle conditioning I've been able to add has be...
