an appalling memory. Someone will come up to me in the street and go, 'Eddie!', and I'll try and give myself time by going into overdrive, 'Hey, hi! Nice to see you!' and start a whole conversation because I can't distinguish between who I know and who I don't. Eddie Redmayne Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Anthony Burgess I'm kind of a manic exerciser. I'll like exercise for a week and be crazy, and then I won't do it for six months. Jane Lynch Maybe it'll be like 'The Simpsons,' and everybody will remain unchanged. Maybe that's what 'Glee's about. Maybe this is kind of a stasis show. I don't know. Cory Monteith There are so many issues in our oceans - like the near extinction of blue fin tuna - that should be taken more seriously worldwide. Heston Blumenthal...

surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show; they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it, I think, how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it? Michael Kors If I was asked to say what was the greatest invention of human beings, I would say the sentence. John Banville Literally, I don't know where life is gonna go from one day to the next, and that's as exciting as it is tiring. Kelly Reilly I don't even know what my natural colour is. Natural? What is natural? What is that? I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables. Donatella Versace There is no question that we must do more to secure our borders - but how we go about securing them is also important. Mark Udall I'd far rather talk about players. They are the people who make things happen. Jock Stein So I think you have to marry for the right reasons, and marry the...

and in my IndyCar career there's not many races where I've honestly left the track feeling that we've executed everything perfectly. And I have to say, I thought they did an absolute phenomenal job. The pit stops were just first class. Dan Wheldon I haven't really had that many opportunities to play 'lead' so I guess I jumped at the chance. I have also never done any 'sci-fi' projects and thought it might be fun. Julie Bowen Having a day job again I found really kind of fueled my fiction, because it became almost this forbidden thing where I had to sneak off and do it in private. Jennifer Weiner I was also known as Frodo because I was an early adopter of 'The Lord of the Rings.' Tom Perrotta I've always been a huge fan of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies. Abigail Breslin There are far too many people in university in Britain. If you want to make money, be a plumber. Felix Dennis The Palestinian Authority refuses...

area of finance and economics, but in foreign and security policy. We have a leadership problem because we are still 27 different members who have still not decided on how to work with each other based on what we used to call a European constitution. Peer Steinbruck When our Heavenly Father placed Adam and Eve on this earth, He did so with the purpose in mind of teaching them how to regain His presence. Our Father promised a Savior to redeem them from their fallen condition. Ezra Taft Benson I didn't inherit any great success and the problems that came with it, and yet I was able to keep working and supporting myself and later a family. I'm crazy fortunate. Timothy Olyphant I'm a straight shooter, a New York City girl. I see things as they are and call them as they are. Elisabeth Rohm I am happy to have some friends here in the kitchen. Charles Olson But if we leave them alone, just satisfying ourselves with social work, economic work and the building up of a...

the problem is, we're thinking like amateurs. Amateurs don't show up. Amateurs crap out. Amateurs let adversity defeat them. The pro thinks differently. He shows up, he does his work, he keeps on truckin', no matter what. Steven Pressfield I love scary movies. Dee Snider The idea of revenge coming from a 14-year-old girl isn't, you know, exactly right. Hailee Steinfeld Teller and I worked Renaissance Festivals and street performing - actually more real, no kidding around, Philadelphia street performing than we did Renaissance Festivals. Penn Jillette I want to stay in the moment and enjoy the great things that are happening. Katherine Heigl You need characters who want things. They want love, they want recognition, they want happiness. Candace Bushnell When I was in office the fundraising was done by the party treasurers. John Major I think I would have been a reasonably good lawyer. I have a faculty for making sense of mountains of information. Hi...

I was a boy growing up in Brooklyn; I read a two-penny magazine called 'The Hawk's Nest.' Nobody entered that nest that didn't leave a little richer and a little wiser. And that 11-year-old boy said, 'Isn't that a wonderful thing.' And that's all there is to it. Buddy Hackett I'm very organized - and the best thing - when you love your work, you don't mind putting in 15 hour days. It's joyful. Adriana Trigiani I'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on. Laura Dern When man wanted to make a machine that would walk he created the wheel, which does not resemble a leg. Guillaume Apollinaire Farming implements are as cheap in Sydney as in England. Charles Sturt To believe that the United States is post-racial requires an almost incomprehensible inability or unwillingness to stare truth in the face. Tim Wise I pictured myself as a ...

who we are at the core of our being is often unacceptable. As a result, we work diligently to live up to - and sometimes down to - what others have made us out to be, whether or not it is an accurate reflection of who we are. Iyanla Vanzant I just don't write musically, but lyrically, yeah I write. Tom Araya Right now, offline and online are coming together because of smartphones. Susan Wojcicki Every idea has its time. Vicente Fox A lot of artists who have a certain style are expected to more or less keep doing their style. It's so easy to get into that rut of production. Laurie Anderson In the Arab world, there is no link between the cultural habits of peoples and the ways of thinking and creating of modern intellectuals. They are two separate worlds. Tahar Ben Jelloun In the end, I think you really only get as far as you're allowed to get. Gayle Gardner I am the successor, not of Louis XVI, but of Charlemagne. Napoleon Bonaparte I always wanted to...

or command, it happens to me. I can either choose to stop and acknowledge it, or put it off and hope that it won't fade away. 'That Wasn't Me' is no exception - it came together more quickly than any other song I have ever constructed on my own. Brandi Carlile As Prime Minister of Israel, I will introduce a bill into the Knesset that will simply pay the Arabs not to shoot at the Jews. Roseanne Barr I'm from a big family - I'm the youngest of seven - and my wife is one of four. So we always wanted a lot of kids. It's what we're used to, and for us it's what life is all about. Chris O'Donnell We're in a period where society seems very attracted to flash, and that seeps into people's musical taste. K. D. Lang The less oil the world uses, the less important the region that has so much of it becomes. Michael Mandelbaum I just like to do work that inspires me, and I don't pay any attention to whether it's a high- or low-b...

over the last few years with the Republicans and Democrats, when they were trying to grow government and have spending and we weren't focusing on creating jobs and get our private sector growing again, I think that's when people started to wake up. Ben Quayle A lot of people come to Los Angeles and think that they're going to be famous, just like that. Alison Brie I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders. David Hockney I've always been interested in any kind of great music, and African music is, I think, the source of it all. Jack Bruce Well I grew up in the Midwest, and I think the first film that blew my mind was 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.' Joseph Kosinski For me, it works to my advantage when people think I'm stupid. If somebody who disdains you or wants to control you underestimates you, you can play their game right back. Veronica Webb I can't write if someone else is in the house, not even the cleaning woman. Patrici...

do: He's supposed to come into the studio and listen to the songs you've been recording and then say, 'Guys, I don't hear any singles.' And then everybody falls into a terrible depression because you have to write one. Jarvis Cocker No civilisation can claim to have a monopoly on universal values and no one can claim to be always faithful to his own values. Tariq Ramadan Image is something you construct, while reputation starts at home. If you are able to pass on solid values to your children, then they can become citizens of the world. Diego Della Valle The idea of going on tour for the rest of my life with old works is not that exciting. As an artist I definitely think the work in future is going to be better than the work in the past, otherwise why do it? Damien Hirst Since you would save none of me, I bury some of you. John Donne We promote domestic savings by also things like the personal accounts associated with the president's Social Securi...

Twitter take hold. The maturity of Tumblr as a real player is exciting. I think Pinterest has proved to be a major player. It's fun to see Instagram become a major player. It's fun to watch things like SnapChat, and Vine, try to vie to be the next thing. Gary Vaynerchuk My wife grew up loving country music, so I always run songs by her whether I wrote it or if somebody pitched it to me. Rodney Atkins The world's a mean place. It's unfair, then it's fair. It's hateful, then it's loving. It's a very peculiar place on philosophical and metaphysical and religious levels. Tim Allen I just want to be known for things other than my sexuality. Eva Mendes We were the first people who did investigative stuff, who asked occasionally abrasive, occasionally confrontational questions. Mike Wallace Something I really hate more than anything else is clogs. Christian Louboutin I'm one of the lucky actors in television. I don't make a lot of big ...

instance, the principle of gravity was working long before the apple ever fell on Newton's head. But once it did, and he understood it, then we as a society were free to harness this principle to create, among other things, airline flight. Andy Andrews I'm not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there. Macklemore Care should be taken that all buildings are well lighted: in those of the country this point is easily accomplished, because the wall of a neighbour is not likely to interfere with the light. Vitruvius If there were a better, clearer, shorter way of saying what the fiction says, then why not scrap the fiction? J. M. Coetzee I grew up about 60 miles northwest of New York, in Middletown, NY. Aaron Tveit In life, you need a house and a car. After that, you have a choice. Xavier Niel I don't do things that are illegal. Patricia Cornwell I don't think I should penalize people who were doing their duty. Leon Panetta I think basica...

acoustic guitar, and Wolfgang is probably just two-and-a-half-feet tall. I'll never forget the day I saw his foot tapping along in beat! I knew then, I couldn't wait for the day I'd be able to make music with my son. I don't know what more I could ask for. Eddie Van Halen It may be easily shown, and is of no small significance, that the two great ideas of which the Anglo-Saxon is the exponent are having a fuller development in the United States than in Great Britain. Josiah Strong The good thing about the IMF is there is no European politics involved. Mark Rutte I'm an addict, I'm addicted to success. Thankfully, there's no rehab for success. Lil Wayne It may be impossible to have a revolution without crimes but that does not make revolution a crime. Jose Bergamin When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power. Mark Zuckerberg ...

feel like in modern day relationships, and maybe just my own experience, it starts with a kiss and then all sort of falls apart and then comes together. You're texting. You're wondering what's going on. There's no definitions, there's no labels. Elizabeth Meriwether Eisenhower warned us about the military-industrial complex and the damage it could do to society. will.i.am And then I think they asked me to work on Wish You Were Here, which was the next album coming up. And I didn't do anything for a long time. I had other projects, and I didn't get around to doing anything for a bit. Gerald Scarfe I don't prejudge. Sonia Sotomayor By burning nuclear waste as fuel, we believe we can power the United States cleanly for hundreds of years without ever touching new resources. Nathan Myhrvold If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment. Carlos Santana I have always been intrigued with singing and I actually started my career in mus...

it's all so complicated. It's never straightforward is it? You meet someone, you fall in love, it's the most wonderful thing ever but... There's always something that's not quite right about love, isn't there? Daphne Guinness I'm a conservative because I believe we're here on this earth to do a little more than crawl through life, comfortable in the cradle of government excess and oblivious to the duties required to keep this republic standing. Allen West Ten commandments yet seven deadly sins: conflict? Douglas Coupland In particular, I studied German and Russian biomechanics. Edwin Moses I'd been in love before - I was always in love. Quincy Jones Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Suicide is a choice and I think if we work with that with kids, we'll get somewhere. Peter Lynch Awards don't really mean much. Uta Hagen My first few plays took place in the South and even The Lucky Spot was in the thirt...
