What about the right to live? Stevie Wonder The sky is an infinite movie to me. I never get tired of looking at what's happening up there. K. D. Lang A lot of the bunkering is designed more to save you than it is to penalize you. Tom Kite I'm a sort of boy next door. If that boy has a go...

8,000 people in Virginia. If all 22,000 of those people opened their wallets and gave $1,000 each, that would be less than one donation from a billionaire to the super PACs.

Sam Wyly For 25 years, I did take my responsibilities as a pleaser of others sufficiently seriously. Joyce Maynard It's what actors call a big, juicy part, when you're a leading man.

with was sick - one of the first people I knew who'd gotten the AIDS virus. I had a dream of him in his bedroom with an angel crashing through the ceiling. I wrote a poem called 'Angels in America.'

time in my life, and part of the process of being honest is - in my mind - talking about the idea that you're watching a movie. You're sitting here watching a movie. And I like that.

Jerry Seinfeld People who are over-educated become risk-averse. Tamara Mellon An artist who opposes himself still ha...

law.

contemporaries have done more. I don't have 'I will be a movie star' emblazoned on anything, but I'd like do a bit more screen stuff and then when the time is right come back to theatre. When it is good, theatre takes a lot of beating both to watch and perform.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Denmark needs change, Denmark needs to move on and Denmark needs my leadership. Helle Thorning-Schmidt Or certainly I would need time - which I would love to have but there almost never is on a film - to just spend a week with a ...

or a singer or a musician because they can put something on YouTube and it might become a thing because there's - like - YouTube phenomenons and whatnot, you know? It's not like they dedicated years to it or anything. It's annoying. Sky Ferreira If not bliss, ignorance can at least be fun. Carter Burwell We were a very funny family. Humour was the tool with which my brother and I tried to get attention. We were always trying to be the funniest.

I don't feel a huge pressure to go out and, like, hit the town, hit th...
