had to swear that 'I shall leave the city not less but more beautiful than I found it.' Richard Rogers My understanding of films was just as much as any young girl who watches Bollywood films. I had no idea about the whole process of filmmaking, about dialogue writing, scripts, screenplay etc. I had probably gone to two or three film shoots in my childhood. Rani Mukerji We haven't shed our engineering pragmatism, so we accomplish things in the simplest manner possible. It helps with budget, obviously. We're not getting rich off web video, and we're supporting two families with our income, so we need to keep as much of the budget to ourselves. Rhett McLaughlin What can separate us from the love of God? Not life, not death, nothing in the present, nothing in the future. Not angels, not demons nothing is able to stand between us and his loving plans because you can't stop them. Kirk Cameron We all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your in...

stuff, but you'd have that after a car accident or a bad divorce. Life's filled with trauma. You don't need to go to war to find it; it's going to find you. We all deal with it, and the effects go away after awhile. At least they did for me. Sebastian Junger Kids are falling through the cracks and nobody notices it. That to me is what's wrong with the school system. Melinda Gates Of course in the first matches you are more careful, perhaps more careful than you should be. Diego Maradona The songs were really complicated. I used to meet people in bar bands who were trying to play our songs and they were really struggling with it. Technically it was really difficult stuff. Kip Winger We all have sadness in our life and things that we can draw upon. Sherilyn Fenn My greatest life lesson has been that life can change in a second. This is why it's important to always live your best possible life and to do what you can for others. Niki Taylor When I ...

her saying to me, 'you are going to have to learn to do this,' and me being in that space of awareness and knowing that my life would not be the same as my grandmother's life. Oprah Winfrey I'm a very loyal person and I allowed myself to be defined as somebody who was doing Gordon's bidding. I should have fought back harder to define myself at an earlier stage. Ed Balls I've an enormous respect for my mother who at the age of 39 raised three children, and I grew up with my grandmother in the household. And so it was a really strong household of women - my poor brother! It was great growing up with so many generations of women. Cate Blanchett Larry, I spent probably most of my professional life helping to build Enron Corporation. I don't think there was anyone that was as shocked by the - by the collapse of the company as I was. Jeffrey Skilling In Jamaica, you're never very far away from people who don't have very much, and in Wilmette, p...

point in dying having gone through your life without knowing who you are, what you are, or what the purpose of life is. And that's all it is. George Harrison People are always saying, 'You use irony,' and it's like, actually, we don't use irony: we use wit and playfulness and irreverence. Giles Deacon I'm lucky in a lot of ways. And in my family life, my home life, is where I count myself the luckiest. Ron Howard Rap was more of a release for me, a journal. Kevin Gates Nobody owes anything to anybody. You are your authentic self to whom and when you choose to be, and if you don't know somebody, then why would you explain to them how you live your life? Sean Hayes If you're great, I want to work with you. James Wan Democracy is a device that ensures the people shall be governed no better than they deserve. Anthony Scaramucci 'Tum Jo Mile' came as a surprise. Vivek and Kumaar sir, who has written the song, sent me the track jus...

point, have, you know, 1.5 children, and be a principal possibly one day. But I think that that was kind of my problem. I allowed myself to plan out my life and didn't let provident direction guide my life. Clay Aiken I actually had an experience where I thought somebody was breaking into my house. That's got to be the most terrified I've ever been in my life. I don't know if that's saying much. The fear, especially as a female in a house by yourself, was horrible. Hayden Panettiere Human vocabulary is still not capable, and probably never will be, of knowing, recognizing, and communicating everything that can be humanly experienced and felt. Jose Saramago You know what? I never really factor Hollywood into anything. I'm a black actor, so I can't really control what Hollywood thinks. I gotta go do my thing, and my jokes have got to be funny. Whatever I do has got to be great. Jamie Foxx According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the...

The economic basis of this contest was the power to tax, to float bonds, to award franchise: in short, to gain control over the financial resources of the newly organized States. A. Philip Randolph If you don't register to vote, politicians don't really care about you: politicians aren't really caring about what you have to say, what you have to do, anything. David Harewood I always say don't be scared. It's not that bad - there's always something worse - and there is definitely life after multiple sclerosis. Teri Garr Honestly, I think, as an artist, it's everything that's in your life that informs what you do. So, obviously, growing up in Cleveland has played a big role in how I see the world. Tracy Chapman The introduction of new technology is always disruptive to existing markets, particularly to content/copyright owners who sell through well-established distribution channels. Steve Blank I've just always been interested in alter-n...

my shoulders, as I don't have to worry about finances for the rest of my life, or my family's. But it wasn't like that. It was more - there's things I need to get done. Giancarlo Stanton I do love the idea of people at a certain time in their lives when they're questioning, figuring out who to be. I find that interesting, but honestly, I think it's like that at every time in your life. Winnie Holzman My mother persevered through much adversity because she possessed faith in God, self-respect, and an awareness of history; most especially, she was astute in Africa's significant contribution to world history. Sister Betty refused to live her life as a victim. Ilyasah Shabazz I like Indian takeaway. Nicola Sturgeon In life, usually, even if you live in a big city, you can count on your fingers on one hand how many real friends you have; that's human. Rodrigo Santoro I am completely open to doing a romantic comedy, but I will never do something...

  So it will still be my life. It is a big piece of your life because this is all you know. It just seems like it takes you to such great heights in your life. Jimmy Scott I served in the state Senate for six years with retiring Gov. John Lynch. During that time, we had the fourth-lowest unemployment rate in the country. Maggie Hassan Rising health care costs make it impossible to plan for the future, and that means it's impossible to hire more people. Brett Guthrie God gave me the ability, so why not?

Smith I've always been a believer in the power of art - and music in particular - to inspire change. Gavin Creel I have spent my whole life...

on something interesting, but it only worked in the context of that particular movie, which was that the original vampire was Judas. Amy Heckerling You know that thing where you repeat a word over and over until it just sounds like utter gibberish? That's what doing a day of press on a film is like. Ten interviews in a row, all asking pretty much the same questions until you find yourself giving pretty much the same answers. John Niven When I grew up, we always had our chickens, and we ate our eggs, and we ate our chickens. The family always had a pig, and we would kill it at Christmas and eat it for three or four months afterwards. Isabella Rossellini The steroids I did were on a very, very low dosage. I didn't want to take a lot of that. I didn't want to look like Arnold Schwartzenegger or Lou Ferrigno. Mark McGwire I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person's life. God is in everyone's life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, e...

can't tug on my heartstrings that way. But whenever I experience a strong emotion in life, I definitely have to throw myself into my songwriting. It is very therapeutic. Ella Henderson The joy of my career is I've been very blessed to be able to be an actor in major films, television, theater, and also British radio. In fact, my dream as an actor when I started out was to be able to work in all the media. Thankfully, that's what I'm being given to do. David Suchet I was home-schooled, was always very close with my mom, and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits. I was the type of person that would show a Powerpoint presentation about why I should do something versus crying and screaming over it. Brie Larson The Bible is full of warnings about false prophets and false messiahs. These satanically inspired people have appeared in almost every generation of history. Billy Graham I don't like dirt. Cle...

ever knew, so I'm sure that had a huge influence on me. However, my father had more influence on me just by the way he lived, because the way he was at the racetrack was the way he was in everyday life. Jacques Villeneuve What shall I say further? Shall I not stop short and leave to your imaginations to portray the tragic deeds of war? Is it not enough that I here leave it even to unexperience to fancy the hardships, the anxieties, the dangers, even of the best life of a soldier? Deborah Sampson A sure indicator of true religion is a concern for the poor of the earth. Joseph B. Wirthlin I've never seen 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' Freddie Prinze, Jr. Earlier, my priority was only work. I worked like a dog before I got married. After marriage, once you have a baby, time management is difficult. Your responsibilities change, your priorities change. And you have to concentrate on them if you have to work out your life. Your career is just a part of your life. Fo...

So I'm silent. I wait. Because they think they have to keep answering. And it's the second train of thought that's the better answer. Robin Leach There was a bad patch in the '80s and early '90s when feminist thinking had become sort of a monopoly and had developed a series of litmus tests. Naomi Wolf The other day I was reading a blog and I linked over to Streisand's Web site, and it was amazing politically. She's so insightful and incisive. And she also says whatever she wants.

Mike Huckabee Well, with so many space shuttle missions that we've done,...

there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God. Pope Francis Somebody captures an incredible video, shares it online, and inspires millions of other people to go and do the same with their GoPros, and then it happens again and again - and what you've got is this incredible snowball of stoked customers capturing and creating rad content with their GoPros. Nick Woodman In my life, I'm just looking for that life of integrity that my father had. I have a good heart; I'm not a heartbreaker. Johnathon Schaech 'Titanic' made me want to tell stories... To have all these characters and costumes and have ambition and think big and have dreams... It came at a very troubled period of my life. Xavier Dolan We had a great dramatics department in school, so I did a lot of plays and theatre there. Later, when I was the captain of our student's ward, I figured out that if you find something you really love to do, you don't have to ...

not 5 years ago, the commandant came through and said, This is one of the sorriest looking bases I have ever seen.

Only you are responsible for the course you take from there. Story Musgrave This is the great reward of service, to live, far out and on, in the life of others; this is the mystery of Christ, - to give life's best for such high sake that it shall be found again unto life eternal. Joshua Chamberlain I have said it on several occasions, several times from this podium, that providing a quality education for our children is high on my priority list. I will not stop now. Jane D. Hull I believe that these extra-terrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets. Most astronauts were reluctant to discuss UFOs. Gordon Cooper Nuclear energy is the scientific ...

the global sense. But we are 100% in charge of how we respond to challenges that come our way, be it the loss of a job, a career derailment, or some other disappointment. Edward Whitacre, Jr. When I was fourteen and first started going out, I always wanted to be the opposite of everyone else. So I would go to the club in a polo T-shirt and pants and sneakers and a hat on backward, just so I would not be dressed like other girls. Rihanna I mean, the part you don't like, I mean, that's the only part. That's the part no one likes, and that is the criticisms, and the unfair criticisms, I might add, of my husband. But that's also just a fact of life in politics. Laura Bush I am very old-fashioned about marriage. It is for life and I mean it. I always knew that when I met the right girl, the life I had before - being single, in a band, girls everywhere - would be over. Gary Numan There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympa...

down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues - communicating with an audience. Casey Kasem You need to have one element about your outfit that is imperfect, that says you live in it and you're not letting it control you. I think men and women both need a softness about them with formal wear. Paul Feig I've seen a lot of friends who have a lot of great projects, whether it's a script or a play or whatever, and it is a great project and they have great people involved, and they can't make it. Philip Seymour Hoffman I have been presented with roles with demand not just a physical ability but mental disciplines as well. 'Memoirs of a Geisha' was not so much about physical exertion... it was much more graceful and contained than that. Michelle Yeoh I think, if you've got children, that's your life. Your 'showbiz' life, if you want to call it that, is a separate thing, and it isn't ever...

kid too and am growing up with them. The things they're interested in tend to really influence me. Reese Witherspoon As a mother, you have that impulse to wish that no child should ever be hurt, or abused, or go hungry, or not have opportunities in life.

Ben Stein Well, I think there's a distinction between sexing-up the intelligence and sexing-up the presentation of the intelligence. John Major Private life is private life. Off the pitch, there is private life, and the rest is social life, where of course you have to behave responsibly. Arsene Wenger Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam I don't watch cop movies much. I TiVo shows. I watch every Larry David show. Raymond Kelly When I was first aware that I couldn't read music I ...

optimization of conditions for the exploration, research, logistics and the business related to the production of shale gas. Donald Tusk I've seen the photos of me and Flo Rida. It doesn't matter how we met. We met. I don't want to say that we're a couple. I can definitely say that he's somebody in my life, and I'm definitely interested but I'm not serious with anybody. Brandy Norwood Usually you talk about directors in terms of the way they choose camera lenses or a kind of light to create a certain effect. But to me the most valuable commodity for a movie to create is a feeling of life, and that's what A Hard Day's Night has in spades. Michael Patrick Jann India is a land of plenty inhibited by poverty; India has an enthralling, uplifting civilization that sparkles not only in our magnificent art, but also in the enormous creativity and humanity of our daily life in city and village.

for better or worse in life, and to a man in life, his life can be no more absurd than it can be the opposite of absurd, whatever that opposite may be.

it had the first full page of text. I inserted 30 new lines, and suddenly my toy said 'hEllO woRlD'. An hour later I understood alphabet shifting rather better! Graham Nelson My mother came from St. Thomas. I heard that melody and all I did was actually adapt it. I made my adaptation of sort of an island traditional melody. It did become sort of my trademark tune. Sonny Rollins When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship. Barbara De Angelis Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it. Sai Baba Left the ranch in 1883, went to California, going through the States and territories, reached Ogden the latter part of 1883, and San Francisco in 1884. Calamity Jane I don't care what people's myths are about me. Kelly Lynch ...
