called 'The First 48.' It's a documentary about killings where they try and find murderers. They interrogate people and they tell on each other - it's hilarious. ASAP Rocky The game's been good to me and I hope I've been good to the game. I'm 50 years old and I've pretty much did everything that I wanted to do in boxing. Evander Holyfield The physical voice we use in prayer need not be great nor startling; even should we not lift up any great cry or shout, God will yet hear us. Origen Latin men are the most passionate men in the world - they may not be the most aggressive, but they are very passionate, very romantic. Brooke Burke I've been in love with the cinema since childhood and it's a fantasy of mine to appear in a Hollywood movie. Bruno Tonioli When you love what you do, you're happy just doing it! Liz Phair Yeah, I can read music and I know the names of chords. Dave Navarro Good writers are of necessity rare. Geor...

that genre, this type of story, and that type of story. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn't quite what I'm seeing - taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I've never seen before. Quentin Tarantino Beginning to create again was something that I took for granted but I never will take it for granted again. Lou Gramm I grew up a Catholic and I don't want to talk badly about the Catholic Church but there's a lot of routine stuff going on. You say the same prayers, you sit, you kneel, whatever. Bernhard Langer Think carefully before asking for justice. Mercy might be safer. Mason Cooley No, I only like whether I like the story or not, essentially see something in it that isn't completely there. Vincente Minnelli The role of Italy and of Austria has diminished as has that of France and Britain; Germany and Japan have suffered catastrophically. Emily Greene Balch The '80s was all about this idea that women...

been training for my third space flight. This one is almost in a category completely different than the previous two, specifically to live in on the space station for six months, to command a space ship and to fly a new rocket ship. Chris Hadfield And that's the mission of The Innocence Project in New York, is to exonerate people who have been wrongfully convicted, and also work from a policy angle with Congress and state legislatures to prevent future wrongful convictions. John Grisham When I was a child I didn't care about getting an education, and I didn't finish high school. Mary J. Blige I distanced myself, relatively, from my parents for a year or so in my late twenties. It was necessary for me to feel my autonomy. Other than that brief gap, we have always been a very close family. Jennifer Ehle Metaphor is embodied in language. Dennis Potter I am capable of being idle. Alexander McCall Smith There is a lot of opportunity sitting in global healthcare...

role as journalists is to give voice to the voiceless, and hold our leaders and institutions accountable. But the circle is only completed when that information is consumed by a free-thinking and engaged audience. Lester Holt Yeah I'm still writing. I've got about 14 tracks now. But we've been on tour so we haven't had time to get back to a rehearsal place. Ville Valo I had been to the South many times and I thought I knew what the South was, but not until you live with people and live through their lives do you know what it's really about. Genevieve Gorder The lack of money is the root of all evil. Mark Twain I don't enjoy songwriting. Rod Stewart This coupling together of science with international peace, is, I think, particularly significant. Irving Langmuir If I'm left high and dry at the end of this wild journey, just taking it is a great feeling. Olivia Wilde With all the highs and lows I've had in my life, I wouldn't chang...

We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government. We're supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government. Sharron Angle You've got to stay focused without being boring - because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Skinny, but dull. LL Cool J I do find it odd people choose to do stuff that makes them look like crazy Hollywood faces, but I've got zero judgment. Julie Bowen The one thing that I know government is good for is countervailing against monopoly. It's not great at that either, but it's the only force I know that is fairly reliable. John Perry Barlow Many a time freedom has been rolled back - and always for the same sorry reason: fear. Molly Ivins I think if you come from a history of persecution you have to develop a sense of humour. Sacha Baron Cohen I believe celebrity spoils people - some worse than others. Phi...

worked as a babysitter for a woman who, the first time we met, said she didn't want somebody in high school. I was 22. Later, I realised that in certain places being female and looking 'young' meant it was more difficult to be taken seriously, so I turned to make-up. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie You know you're old when you've lost all your marvels. Mary Browne Sometimes some of these little side excursions are useful and I manage to fit them in the book somewhere. Jack Vance The Vatican takes your breath away. Joe Elliott If you just go out there and run 100 miles, it breaks down a lot of barriers in terms of self-imposed limitations. Dean Karnazes After a lifetime of losing and gaining weight, I get it. No matter how you slice it, weight loss comes down to the simple formula of calories in, calories out. Valerie Bertinelli People don't trust private health insurance companies for all the right reasons. Bernie Sanders My first civil disobedienc...

art as a career choice; they simply can't overcome their desire to make art, and will live on little income for as long as they have to, before they start to sell their work - or give up and get a paying job. Charles Saatchi The image we have of bin Laden in his final years in Abbottabad is of an aging man with a graying beard watching old footage of himself; just another suburban dad flipping though the channels with his remote. Peter L. Bergen The federal government has never created one job that is sustainable long term. It creates government project work but not creating real work where people are. Michael Steele Many children's writers don't have children of their own. Mark Haddon This is my future and I will take personal responsibility for making sure all competition requirements are met. Kim Collins People look at me and look, but I do not care. Anna Held I have written a lot about snakes. There's something pretty primordial about it. Laurie A...

rain en route, dashes along the road not to get wet or drenched. Once one takes it for granted that in rain he naturally gets wet, he can be in a tranquil frame of mind even when soaked to the skin. This lesson applies to everything. Yamamoto Tsunetomo I'm very good in math, and I'm a logical thinker. I don't get wrapped up in things or even wrapped up in myself. Alan C. Greenberg I went through a phase where I thought nostalgia was a bad thing. Dario Argento I am a sportsman and not a politician. I am a sportsman and will always remain one. I am not going to enter politics giving up cricket, which is my life. I will continue to play cricket. Sachin Tendulkar It's probably true that everyone has a book in them, although it may not be a very good one. Wilbur Smith The question is what I wanted to do with the new life God has given me. This is the mission I want to take on. Billy Tauzin The moment in between what you once were, and who you are now becomi...

that, without being some old git who hates anything new, people's attention spans are too short. Back then you had 'Top Of The Pops' and 'Melody Maker,' and you had to make the effort to go to a show so that you absorbed the culture of music. Steve Jones Of course great politicians are always liable to be wrong about something, and the more people tell them they are wrong, the more stubbornly they defend their error. Ferdinand Mount Sexism, like racism, goes with us into the next century. I see class warfare as overshadowing both. Constance Baker Motley People don't want to give up their SUVs. They don't want to turn the thermostat down in the winter and up in the summer. Ed Begley, Jr. All the real work is done in the rehearsal period. Donald Pleasence I would like to have directed Hollywood musicals in the '40s and '50s. Matthew Bourne You can grow without destroying the things that you love. Ed McMahon I hate the polo collar. ...

platform as Wal-Mart and Dell. They're just not restrained by it. What is al Qaeda? It's an open source religious political movement that works off the global supply chain. That's what we're up against in Iraq. We're up against a suicide supply chain. Thomas Friedman Plot is not my forte. It's like I have to live in my head in the book for a while before I figure out what the story is... My process is a bit messier. Erin Morgenstern For people who are really talented, what you don't say becomes extremely important. You have to judge what to say and what to leave alone so you can let the talent develop. Itzhak Perlman A lost election can have the jolt of a drop through the gallows door, leading to a dark night of the soul in which the future presses down like a cloud that will never lift. James Wolcott I didn't have a choice growing up but to be more insecure because others had more. Shania Twain I love mixing with comedians when I'm wo...

I just loved it. And I had a friend in high school and we would just laugh all day and put on skits. You know, it's the Andy Kaufman thing or the Marty Short thing where you're performing in your bedroom for yourself. Steve Martin I used to psych myself up before the show and now I do the complete opposite: I psych myself down. It's 12:30 at night, you don't want some guy yelling at you. You want some guy just talking to you. Craig Ferguson At present, financial crises occur, chiefly because the paper currency is redeemable in gold only. John Buchanan Robinson We are all human beings with our own little knick-knacks and ways of doing things. Bernhard Langer I started skydiving because I loved the idea of freedom. Felix Baumgartner It's a falsehood to state that francophone communities are thriving. Gilles Duceppe I think it's a part of us as human beings that we search outside of ourselves for meaning. Nick Cave How we express ourselves in w...

in the New Testament, not by Jesus, but by Paul, that say women should not adorn themselves, they should always wear hats or color their hair in church - things like that - I think they are signs of the times and should not apply to modern-day life. Jimmy Carter The terrorists who committed the 2003 Istanbul attacks were locals, that is, Turks. And when filmmaker Theo van Gogh was murdered in the Netherlands last year, the murderer and his supporters were also part of the Muslim community. Otto Schily My mother was 45 when she had me, so when I was in high school my parents were the same age as my friends' grandparents. Jack White The Senate needs 60 votes to pass anything. They have to compromise with liberal Democrats to spend more money. Even though arguably we have control of the Senate, we really don't. Steve Chabot I love meeting new people; I think everyone has a story to tell. We should all listen sometimes. Kim Smith I've seen many actors go awry by ...

I mean, they - and what they fund and what they do, they don't really - they don't fund the small non-profit community-based organizations that really are out there on the front lines helping people. They fund the big philanthropies. They're safe. Rick Santorum From a moral point of view, there is no excuse for terrorist acts, regardless of the motive or the situation under which they are carried out. Jurgen Habermas Donnie Brasco was great, but the energy on the set made it kinda hard to get in there and have an opinion. Gretchen Mol Mind is everything. Muscle - pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind. Paavo Nurmi The word actress has always seemed less a job description to me than a title. Gene Tierney You've got to enjoy time with your family and friends, and if you're involved in sports franchises, those peak moments in playoff games. You have to enjoy life. Paul Allen Science is basically an inoculation against charlatans. Ne...

which have been at the core of this Republic, are about to be evaporated by the nuclear option. The checks and balances that say if you get 51% of the vote, you don't get your way 100% of the time. It is amazing, it's almost a temper tantrum. Chuck Schumer One of the smartest things you can do on 'Chopped' is to take one of those ingredients and make a pickle out of it, because almost every dish benefits from that. I'm feeling like those intuitions are becoming more natural. Ted Allen Let me show you how it's done... Loser! Babe Ruth I'm in touch with the social networks and stuff. Fred Durst In England, I've never really had a problem with racism. Didier Drogba But take comfort in that I die at peace with the world and myself - not afraid. Robert Falcon Scott When I think about the songs I might record, I ask myself, 'Can I picture anybody I know back home sitting in their truck cranking this up?' Blake Shelton I have six si...

drought, fire, flood, acid mud and human action over many decades. In the rescues and the cleanups and the long hauls, I see the same attitude over and again. People just rally and get on with it. Quentin Bryce Greenhouse gas pollution, through its contribution to global climate change, presents a significant threat to Americans' health and to the environment upon which our economy and security depends. Gina McCarthy Nothing is inevitable until it happens. A. J. P. Taylor The Democratic Party went far to the left, I think, and left some of us stranded on the beach, so we went to the Republican Party. Pat Robertson Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star. Liza Minnelli I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me. Sugar Ray Leonard I wouldn't go back and be 25 again for all the tea in China. Minnie Driver I wasn't a very discriminating reader. I read just about everything t...
