This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and will be a moment in history that will always be remembered. I'm really looking forward to being out on the river with friends and family. To mark this historic moment will be extremely special. Steve McFadden My mother's my biggest supporter. Vinny Guadagnino South Africa's increasingly, for example, the largest foreign investor in various other parts of Africa. Susan Rice Why is it that half of the households in America pay zero income tax? We need some real tax reform. John Cornyn I put my foot in my mouth every time I'm interviewed. Selma Blair Kids are our future, and we hope baseball has given them some idea of what it is to live together and how we can get along, whether you be black or white. Larry Doby I'm an aggressive person. Jack Abramoff I'd like to give zero out capital gains tax and zero out the dividends tax, zero out alternative minimum tax, and zero out the death tax. Michele Bac...

and delusion. The better you're doing, the higher the stakes, and higher expectations for you to win. Maybe that's why people say it's so hard. But that doesn't make it hard. That just makes it distracting. David Ulevitch My family is full of musicians, and a couple of times a year we get together and jam at my cousin's studio. We improvise and have a great time. Gabriel Macht My work is about the underbelly of the beauty of nature - and the dark side of nature is its indifference. Nature isn't friendly, nor is it unfriendly - it's the perfect embodiment of the Other. April Gornik The Pirate is surrealism and so, in a curious way, is Father of the Bride. Vincente Minnelli Writers are just like other people, except slightly more obsessed. John Banville You get to know them, they get to know you and see if they like you. Then they'll vote on you to become a prospect. You have to be sponsored by a Hells Angel. Chuck Zito I usually destroy ...

crisis. It shows what can be done when we all join together and work together, governments of all persuasions state, territory and local; businesses large and small; unions and local communities right across the nation. Kevin Rudd Before I got married, I never really watched TV. Now, my husband and I watch 'The Bachelor' together. I love 'The Soup' - that's where I get a lot of my pop culture - and 'Chelsea Lately.' Dylan Lauren I wish my kid would act like my dog sometimes. My dog listens to me and does what I tell him to do. Cesar Millan I'm not saying that people should not divorce, but at the rate at which it happens here is sick. The kids, they suffer. I don't care what anyone says. Eric Braeden I was very interested in theatre, mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting. Jim Henson Almost any word can be drafted to serve as a verb, even words we think of as eternal and unchanging, stuck in their more traditional roles. ...

of the wedding that they miss out on what the real purpose is. It's not about a production number, it's about a meaningful moment between two people that's witnessed by people that they actually really know and care about. Jane Seymour As I grew older, I came to feel more responsible for any hardship or trouble my career caused my family. Annette Funicello I think touring is hard. Renee Fleming Unless we rise to the challenge, instead of American youth being able to live the American dream, the Chinese will fulfill their dream of overtaking America. Mark Kennedy I wish with all my heart that you may be the most lovable prince in the world, and I bestow my gift on you as much as I am able. Charles Perrault I think computers are the ultimate writing tool. I'm a very slow writer, so I appreciate it every day. Sherry Turkle By the way, I'm not a vegetarian. I have a lot of respect for people who are vegetarian for religious or ethical reasons. Eric Sc...

cult of the director as God straight away, and also you're discussing things on set so it opens it out to everyone and it becomes a totally collaborative thing. And you have someone who supports you when you're feeling a bit insecure. Alan Cumming You learn a lot more from the lows because it makes you pay attention to what you're doing. John Elway Liberals do not appear to address potential solutions with anything like the far right's aura of God-given self-confidence. Eric Alterman The Constitution of the United States was made not merely for the generation that then existed, but for posterity- unlimited, undefined, endless, perpetual posterity. Henry Clay I went into architecture a little as 'Peck's Bad Boy.' It allowed me to be a critic in a socially condoned way. James Polshek I love it when a guy compliments my vibe. Caity Lotz We just cannot worry about ourselves. Pope Francis I didn't want to be an actress. It wasn't a dr...

December 1974, we knew one thing: The road to the Super Bowl in the AFC went through Oakland. To achieve your dreams as a team, you had to slay the Oakland Raiders. They were the barometer of what it took to be a championship team. Joe Greene Everything is working. Lesley Visser I'm kind of ashamed to be a celebrity. I don't understand wanting to read about other people's dirty laundry. I think celebrity is the biggest red herring society has ever pulled on itself. Jude Law At the concert I'm going to crown the best looking man, Mr. Tampa. Bald men definitely have an edge. Christine Lavin The more I come to understand music, the more I feel like a numbskull because there is always more to learn. Cliff Martinez To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all. Aleister Crowley I think if you're good at art, you'll be good at most types of art. Grimes I love going on location, and the location wa...

story that begins 'You know you're getting older when.' But you also know it when you not only never heard of the musical guest on a given 'Saturday Night Live' but never heard of the host, either. Tom Shales I've never been one for doing remixes. Then I've gotta decide which version am I gonna be tonight: country Carrie or pop Carrie? I'd rather just make country music that anybody can get into no matter what they listen to. Carrie Underwood I think the choice of actors that we have is a little more varied and rich here in New York than in L.A. Jerry Orbach The United States are a political state, or organized society, whose end is government, for the security, welfare, and happiness of all who live under its protection. William H. Seward I've always been the type of guy that wants to change, adapt and morph from year to year. Chris Jericho Socialism, as I understand it, is a system of democracy. Without democracy, there is no sociali...

the agenda forward. At the appropriate time we'll talk about all of these issues, while remembering that our party is a big tent party. We lose when we try to become exclusive to one particular set of issues. Jon Huntsman, Jr. I would put belly laughing at the top of my highlights list. They always say that laughter is the best medicine. Carol Vorderman I'm a big fan of all styles, even Biggie and Wu-Tang, but I gotta do my thing. Ice T Respectable means rich, and decent means poor. I should die if I heard my family called decent. Thomas Mann Trust is that rare and priceless treasure that wins us the affection of our heavenly Father. Brennan Manning Last but not least among serial killer methodologies, we have women who kill their own children. Pat Brown God and death kind of resemble each other, because the only time a lot of people will try and talk to God is when someone's died. Rachel Hunter I spend my working life pretending to be someone else. An...

like James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, who were murdered while registering black voters in Mississippi in 1964, and Viola Liuzzo, who was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan in 1965 during the Selma march for voting rights. Jeff Greenfield For all their expertise at figuring out how things work, technical people are often painfully aware how much of human behavior is a mystery. People do things for unfathomable reasons. They are opaque even to themselves. Gary Wolf I am not the first player to have sworn on TV and I won't be the last. Wayne Rooney Children are so precious. Shayne Ward I think dancing is a man's game and if he does it well he does it better than a woman. Gene Kelly I think the dot-com boom and bust represented the end of the beginning. The industry is more mature today. Carly Fiorina Sometimes I suspect most of the media commentariat are suffering from Munchausen syndrome. Rebekah Brooks The first light of day today revealed what ...

are given full vent in 'The Day After Tomorrow.' He's crude, stupid, slick, cornball, predictable, laughable, relentless, trivial and, the sum of all these, ridiculous. He's never made a movie you could believe and he still hasn't. Stephen Hunter Through the Young Men's Christian Association and principally in Australia and North America, as well as in South America, I came into contact with families of these countries. Fritz Sauckel Headlines are so great in a sense that they can take a little bit from an article completely out of context and blow it into something it's not. Some people really only read headlines. Kristin Cavallari You see airbrushed images of me, but I know the person who's walking barefoot, dodging dog poo in the yard. Carolyn Murphy I also had a tremendous passion for art and read a lot. Nigel Dennis I know what it takes to make a band, how they should interact, what makes a record sound like it's a band - everythi...

the job; my center of focus shifted, which I think is very helpful, because even if you're not a very indulgent actor you spend a lot of time thinking about yourself. I don't think that is particularly healthy. Imelda Staunton I can appreciate that on one side, but we have to remember that the system is designed corruptly, and works against us, so you cant convict those who can benefit from the system, because its not neccesarily their fault. Kool Moe Dee Pheu Thai has to find prominent party leaders that can solve the problems of the country now. If we can find those types of people, then we can win. There are many good people in Thailand but we have to recruit them. Thaksin Shinawatra The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life. Henry Ford The only currency I value is the coin of the spirit. That's very important in my life. Kinky Friedman These years of the Ecole Normale were an ordeal. Nothing...

Kandinsky, Beckmann and many others. The work was called 'sick' and put in the trash heap. The sentiments expressed toward contemporary art by Jesse Helms, Pat Robertson and Mayor Giuliani recall the language used by the Nazis. Hans Haacke I've always wanted to be a real universal artist, one that every type of audience could relate to. Bryan White Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes. Norah Jones I think we still believe that ambition is for boys. Jeanette Winterson My Republican friends are lamenting reconciliation. But I would recommend for them to go back and look at history. Harry Reid Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. John Wooden I never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all. Daniel Day-Lewis I don't photograph any two people who are remotely the same. Jock Sturges What doe...

its parts, and somewhere in there, there's an alchemical thing that makes something happen or not - that makes something connect or not. Now, of course you want to make work that people see, but the enjoyment I get out of acting is playing characters. Eddie Redmayne English football has just had a transfer window imposed for the first time, so it will be interesting to see how managers cope with the squads they have until it re-opens. David Ginola Well, stealing bases adds some runs but very few, and you lose most of the runs that you gain by having runners caught stealing. Bill James When you're working on a lake and it's dark and cold out and you can't see what's underwater, it is freaking scary! Jessica Szohr I'll be honest. We copied everyone... the Beatles, the Bachelors. It was the only way people would even listen to you. Maurice Gibb There is nothing in this world that I fear to say. Dmitri Mendeleev I find myself eating different kinds...

our thoughts and feelings, our relationships with others and ourselves, as is the Earth to the leaves that first race across her and then, no longer able to run, give themselves up to nourish her body so that she may give birth again come the spring. Guy Finley I quit smoking the day I found out I was pregnant, which was nine years ago. But I'll still smoke in a movie. I have other vices, you know, like potato chips and chardonnay - but not together. Jean Smart I don't want it to be all that self-conscious or artificial, but it really grows out of my having invented myself as a listener so that I could hear her voice. Russell Banks Francis Bacon is one of my giant inspirations. I just love him to pieces. David Lynch I thought to myself, Join the army. It's free. So I figured while I'm here I'll lose a few pounds. John Candy My dad's got a brilliant eye for scripts 'cos he's a literary agent. He and my agent read a load of scripts and filte...

they carry their 'made-up' persona in front of them, like some sort of baffler, or Ready Brek force field. Their reach for notoriety predicated on that fulsome mediocrity of talent detailed above has become frozen in their faces. Will Self I love my apartment in New York. Amanda Seyfried Money is not an aphrodisiac: the desire it may kindle in the female eye is more for the cash than the carrier. Marya Mannes Schools don't really allow failure and yet it's a valid part of any endeavour, not just writing. Roddy Doyle Poor but happy is not a phrase invented by a poor person. Mason Cooley I don't have a trainer. Crazy, right? But I don't need anyone to motivate me. I love exercise, even things like the elliptical and stretching. Catherine Zeta-Jones There's a market for mysteries for adults. That feeling of opening a book and delving inside and not coming out until you've closed the book. Kate Morton When the great promise of the Spirit...
