~By Daniel Ellsberg ~

~By Cathy Guisewite ~

I figure anything over 13 weeks in this business is pretty good.
~By Wink Martindale ~

~By Ruben Blades ~

~By Tom Jones ~

~By Alice Hoffman ~

~By Martin Mull ~
That aesthetic of the Star Wars universe: the do-it-yourself, hotrod ethic that George Lucas exported from his childhood, is exactly the same kind of soul behind what we do and build for the show. It may not look pretty, but it gets the job done.
~By Adam Savage ~

~By Walter Jon Williams ~
I had cleavage that would make Dolly Parton proud. But those things are really heavy and I'm pretty slight of frame, so I took them out. No one even noticed.
~By Lexa Doig ~
I think George just nailed the whole thing, the whole time period, the whole look and feel of what that newsroom was like. I did a lot of research for the role and believe me, it's all pretty genuine, down to the very last cigarette butt.
~By David Strathairn ~
A lot of my humor does come from anger. It's like, you're not gonna pull one over on me - which is pretty much my motto anyways.
~By Courteney Cox ~
The truth is, I've been going pretty much nuts all year. I constantly have to fight being scattered. I feel like I'm on automatic pilot from fatigue. The hardest thing is trying to be present, living for the moment, for everybody in the family.
~By Patricia Richardson ~
How much will you give for the lives of your childrens children, which is yourself? How much are people willing to give up for air, earth, water, animals, and the coming generations? I think the answer to that is pretty clear.

~By Caroline B. Cooney ~

~By Renny Harlin ~
I pretty much make time for that weekly manicure.
~By Yancy Butler ~
I got things like the lotus position long before anybody else did, or at least in the mainstream. But I had fun. I guess my legs are pretty flexible, so I used to get a kick out of doing things like that. I would get into a full lotus with my legs and then roll around.
~By John Astin ~
When you're starting out as an actor, there isn't much food around. I was lucky to have a hit pretty early on. I didn't starve too long.
~By Steve Guttenberg ~
I played baseball, and that's pretty much it. Basketball came late, this was, basketball was the sport that I tried to master, I kind of mastered baseball, so basketball was one of those things where I wanted to master this game, so that's why I probably play it the way I do.
~By Eric Williams ~
The story was such that I couldn't make a graceful ending and then make a graceful new beginning. I could have, but I didn't want to. So, it isn't the most graceful way of writing a story. This new story is, I think, is pretty good stuff. I'm pleased with it anyway.
~By Jack Vance ~
You know, I eat, I ate pretty well anyway so, I'm basically living the same, I just curtailed the stupidity.
~By John Newcombe ~
Hollywood is fickle; your career can end pretty fast. If the acting jobs dry up, you have to have something to fall back on. In fact, that would be my advice to kids interested in acting - make sure you get an education too.
~By Matthew Lawrence ~
Cagey trial lawyers have figured out there's a pretty good likelihood their case - no matter what its merit - will literally get its day in court because of favorable judges.
~By Dennis Hastert ~
The song Dakota was first written in Paris. I was doing a promo trip. It was snowing and the hotel room was really cold and boring and for some reason I just had a go of the guitar and the song came pretty quick.

~By Jennifer Connelly ~
To be honest, I find going out pretty scary and intimidating. Got all those people checking you out, with only one purpose: hooking up. I'm quite the dork, I'd rather sit home and play Scrabble. But that doesn't get you a girl, does it?
~By Wentworth Miller ~
And every friend I've got has been writing Mars stories. It was pretty clear I'd never catch up.

~By Al Jourgensen ~

~By Ashley Tisdale ~
I'll get pretty much everything the way I want it. I've always dreamed of a beach wedding.
~By Nicole Appleton ~

~By Christine McVie ~
The size of my head though is pretty abnormal.
~By Philip Seymour Hoffman ~

~By Bruce Springsteen ~
"10" was amazing! I had no career before "10" and then all of a sudden I was able to do pretty much whatever I was able to do in the business.
~By Bo Derek ~
One of the reasons I don't see eye to eye with Women's Lib is that women have it all on a plate if only they knew it. They don't have to be pretty either.
~By Charlotte Rampling ~
In one line of his poem he said good fences make good neighbors. I'd like to think that Alaska and British Columbia working together can prove that we can be pretty darned good neighbors without fences.
~By Dan Miller ~

~By Tatum O'Neal ~
A common misperception of me is... that I am a tough, rough northerner, which I suppose I am really. But I'm pretty mild-mannered most of the time. It's the parts that you play I guess. I don't mind it. I'm not a tough guy. I'd like to act as a fair, easy-going, kind man at some point.
~By Sean Bean ~
I just wrapped this movie called The Wedding Crashers which was a pretty big break for me.
~By Bradley Cooper ~

~By Jason Kidd ~
No not at all... it is rare for shows to make it as long as Once and Again... It was a pretty good run.
~By Sela Ward ~

~By Jude Law ~
I had a lot of fun working with John Candy. We had a pretty good rapport.
~By Harold Ramis ~

~By Rachel Griffiths ~
I think in New York we had respect and we would pretty much fill up the places where we went, but I never got the sense that we really were Number 1 here in New York among the Latin crowds.
~By Ruben Blades ~
You realize that the first Bryan Ferry album was pretty good although at the time it seemed a bit cheesy.
~By Robyn Hitchcock ~

~By Dean Koontz ~

~By Dick York ~
The whole series is black-and-white, so when I went to shoot one of the women I only had black-and-white film with me. She had reddish hair and was a very pretty girl, a nice girl.
~By Helmut Newton ~
I really detest movies like Indecent Proposal and Pretty Woman because they send a message to women that sleeping with a rich man is the ultimate goal and really that's such a small part of it.
~By Laura Kightlinger ~

~By Dan Glickman ~

~By Tommy Lasorda ~

~By Ajay Devgan ~
I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.
~By John Malkovich ~
However, the thought hit me that this was a pretty pathetic way to kick the bucket - being accidentally poisoned during a photo shoot, of all things - and I started weeping at the idiocy of it all.
~By Lara St. John ~
My Mom and Dad did it pretty good, so I know it can work. The foremost thing I would say about working with Robin and Sean is that they were devoted to this project and devoted to their characters. You can't ask for any more from talented actors like that.
~By Nick Cassavetes ~
I would say I'm pretty well at ease with my sexuality, but I'm an individual before I am a female.
~By Shirley Manson ~
I have pretty much made up my mind to do this.
~By Paul Tsongas ~
I don't regard myself as a great classical or jazz pianist. I like country music, but I'm not a great player. I just like music. Drums 'n' bass is pretty exciting and I'd love to explore it.
~By Keith Emerson ~
It makes my wife mad, you know, she wants me to stay home all the time. But its what I've done all my life and I think when I quit doing it I'll probably go away pretty quick.

~By Mischa Barton ~
I was happy she got it and I have to sort of - and one of the reasons I did Third Watch is because I wanted to break that thing of just being the pretty girl and play it down and let it be about the work.
~By Nia Long ~

~By Alija Izetbegovic ~
Immediately after the Olympics, I was pretty fatigued.
~By Eric Heiden ~

~By Polly Toynbee ~
Well, Steve Vai joined my dad's band right around the time when I actually started playing guitar. So he gave me a couple of lessons on fundamentals, and gave me some scales and practice things to work on. But I pretty much learned everything by ear.
~By Dweezil Zappa ~

~By Peter Jurasik ~

~By Rachel True ~

~By Bridget Fonda ~
We didn't even think about it, you know? I used to collect laser discs, and you'd have some college professor analyzing It's a Wonderful Life or Citizen Kane, and now it is pretty funny - the idea of commentary for a silly kid's movie, you know?
~By Dana Carvey ~
I think we've established a convention on the show that allows us to do pretty much anything we want to.
~By Thayer David ~
Instead of having to be a member of the Royal Society to do science, the way you had to be in England in the 17th, 18th, centuries today pretty much anybody who wants to do it can, and the information that they need to do it is there.
~By Seth Lloyd ~
I'm pretty tenacious when it comes to problems.
~By Roger Penrose ~
Writing is pretty crummy on the nerves.
~By Paul Theroux ~
