~By Scott Thompson ~

~By Daniel Libeskind ~
Never give up on your dream... because you never know what the Lord can bless you with.
~By Kelly Rowland ~
It's funny, though, because when I first started going to races after we met, I was extremely nervous. It's like being backstage and hoping you don't trip over something or break an amp or accidentally speak into a live microphone, so I was really hesitant.
~By Ashley Judd ~
There's so many things I want to do. I want to work with great filmmakers, great actors, great scripts. And there's no reason for me to do anything short of that, because I'm 24, I don't have a family, I don't need to make tons of money, and I'm not dying to get famous.
~By Tobey Maguire ~
The reason can only be this: heroic poetry depends on an heroic age, and an age is heroic because of what it is, not because of what it does.
~By Lascelles Abercrombie ~
It wasn't sexual in its element. I wasn't being exploited. I was doing what happened. It was very challenging because I played Phyllis from 15 years old to 53 when she died of breast cancer.
~By Lesley-Anne Down ~
And I thought, my God, there's an off chance that they will say something that's really worth preserving and there is one way to do that and I knew what it was because I come from television.
~By James Lipton ~
Probably I chose immortality because mortality is a universal human obsession.
~By Joan D. Vinge ~
Pol Pot carried out through the years enormous purges against his own followers because of his paranoia.
~By Sydney Schanberg ~
It's a really unfair world because life is, where I am; all day long we listen to American music. So I don't see why the radios in the U.S. cannot even put aside one hour a day just to play music that is not American.
~By Miriam Makeba ~
I know the Haitian people because I am the Haitian people.

Because, you know, I can't work a bicycle pump.

Sure, I have a lot of friends that are actors. Just because I guess I run into a lot of actors in my work.
~By Beau Bridges ~
I find fault with my children because I like them and I want them to go places - uprightness and strength and courage and civil respect and anything that affects the probabilities of failure on the part of those that are closest to me, that concerns me - I find fault.
~By Branch Rickey ~
All we can do is keep going up against then as long as Ray is alive because when he dies it will not be possible to establish the truth of his innocence in a court of law.
~By William Pepper ~
I question myself every day. That's what I still find motivating about this. I don't have the answers, I don't pretend that I do just because I won the match. Just keep fighting and maybe something good happens.
~By Andre Agassi ~
The kind of event on a conveyor belt that causes a fire occurs in a variety of industrial environments, not uniquely in coal environments.
~By Richard Price ~
People who think radio acting is easy are wrong, because you got nothing to work with but your voice.

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
~By George Bernard Shaw ~
We should be the natural home for young mothers. But we're not. Because too often we sound like people who think the only good mother is a married mother.
~By Francis Maude ~
I'm just having a wonderful time. It's an interesting thing that I'm very comfortable with this material and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I did MacBeth.
~By F. Murray Abraham ~
We made records to document ourselves, not to sell a lot of records. I still feel that way. I put out a record because I think it's beautiful, not necessarily commercial.
~By Stan Getz ~
It didn't feel difficult at the time because I was so charged up about both books. Afterward, however, I was pretty tired. In a good way, like after a great workout.
~By Jonathan Kellerman ~
We just said, 'Okay, you're in the movie. Bring what you would bring for a three-day weekend and I hope you like the way you look in it because once you're on camera, that's your wardrobe.' But it worked; it worked and we were very surprised.
~By John Sayles ~
We owe America something because they turned us into a touring band. But at least we feel confident about appearing in Britain again now. Hyde park was the first time over here for ages.
~By Steve Marriott ~
My cousin cleaned out a shotgun for me and let me carry it around the house, because he said, 'Anybody who knows anything about guns is going to know in a second if someone has held a gun before.' I didn't want to be that person. I wanted to be practiced.
~By Jennifer Lawrence ~
Keep writing, because not only does practice improve skill, it gives you more chances to score on the market. I did that for eight years before making my first sale.
~By Piers Anthony ~
I used to think that my mother got into arguments with people because they didn't understand her English, because she was Chinese.
~By Amy Tan ~
Years ago, we all talked about recycling and not dumping things down your drain and all of that, but talking doesn't help much. Basically, it's going to have to be legislation because the impact is so huge and diversified.
~By Ted Danson ~
Working long hours being single helps because your time is yours. Once you have a family your time isn't all yours anymore. Most of the Mac team, we were in our mid-20's, most of us were single, and we were able to essentially devote our lives to it.
~By Andy Hertzfeld ~
McCain needs Hillary to run because that's what keeps the Republican coalition together. She helps unite the Republican base.
~By Chuck Todd ~
But really, for the most part - doing a prequel is great because you do have room to kind of free this character and how they got to where they are instead of being a slave to exactly what the previous actor did.
~By Jennifer Lawrence ~
So as far as Serbia is concerned, it does not have the right to influence the privatization or to claim any property, because Kosovo is a former member of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
~By Ibrahim Rugova ~
I could not have the honour of being a German soldier because of my imprisonment in the First World War. And in this world war the Fuehrer refuses to allow me to serve as a soldier.
~By Fritz Sauckel ~
I just had a baby. I'm not going to work unless it's something really special and meaningful, because I can't imagine missing all that time with my daughter.
~By Gwyneth Paltrow ~
I am against preventive war because it means measures by the UN against us.
~By Moshe Sharett ~
Greatest hits is easy because one has nothing to do - except that we both, Roger and I, felt that new songs should be there because I've been away for awhile.
~By Tina Turner ~
If you're in a forest, the quality of the echo is very strange because echoes back off so many surfaces of all those trees that you get this strange, itchy ricochet effect.
~By Brian Eno ~
So now I feel I'm lucky in the respect that I can sort of pick a little more carefully, which is tricky because as a black actress, there aren't that many roles to pick from.
~By Rachel True ~
I had a feeling it was gonna work out because not only did I enjoy the music and hit it off with the guys, but I was into theatrical rock and was willing to wear makeup and do anything to make it.
~By Ace Frehley ~
That's the reason they're called lessons, because they lesson from day to day.
~By Lewis Carroll ~
I felt I had to share Idaho with my friend from New York because he'd shared New York with me, so I was going to share the beauty of nature with a man who went to museums and clubs late at night. But there was nothing to do where I lived at night.
~By Mariel Hemingway ~
Circumstances cause us to act the way we do. We should always bear this in mind before judging the actions of others. I realized this from the start during World War II.
~By Thor Heyerdahl ~
I don't have wild dogs chasing people with scripts away from my door. I get my share. I've done okay. But I usually do independent stuff because that's mostly what I'm offered.

It's difficult to do that internally, because you're flying five, six hours.
~By Vince McMahon ~
Obviously if Gates turns out missing the first game because of this, that's disappointing for everyone in this locker room because he is big part of our team and we don't want to see that happen.
~By Drew Brees ~
When I was a young man, I had a mentor on women and he said when you meet a woman that you think you like, don't ask her for a drink. Take her out for a bowl of soup. Because a woman who can enjoy a bowl of soup is bound to be more interesting.
~By Art Cooper ~
The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that's fun.
~By Christian Siriano ~
A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.

~By Nastassja Kinski ~

~By Tony Snow ~
The men in the steel industry who sacrificed their all were nor merely aiding their fellows at home but were adding strength to the cause of their comrades in all industry.
~By John L. Lewis ~
People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messed cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.
~By Chuck Palahniuk ~
Do I regret taking the company public? Yes and no. Yes, because it put us under enormous pressure for a young company to go public at that point in its history, something you never could have done in the old days.
~By David Talbot ~
Yeah, because what it all boils down to is at the end of the day, we are all riding on the same boat and we have to learn how to deal with each other. I think that the music and what we do in our actions is what can kind of bring us together, hopefully.
~By Bootsy Collins ~
Croquet is tough. People play for months because the rules are so bizarre. Those crazy English.
~By Jane Kaczmarek ~
I think they look upon me as an old child, because I'm so little.
~By Estelle Getty ~
Look at the forces against me. They don't want me out. They're afraid I'll cause trouble if I get out.
~By Jack Kevorkian ~
People say you should read your criticism because it will make you a better person but it doesn't. It just makes you a sad bitter old showbiz nightmare.
~By Jo Brand ~
I won twenty-eight games in thirty-five and I couldn't believe my eyes when the Cards sent me a contract with a cut in salary. Mr Rickey said I deserved a cut because I didn't win thirty games.
~By Dizzy Dean ~
It was weird because I was pregnant, throughout that so it was weird being a pregnant witch. I was in a really bad mood but luckily, because I sleep with the director, he just sort of scheduled me so I only had to do it two nights.
~By Helena Bonham Carter ~
I'm always on the phone because I'm usually not with the people I want to be with.
~By Natalie Portman ~
Because thought has by now been perverted into the solving of assigned problems, even what is not assigned is processed like a problem.
~By Theodor Adorno ~
My management tells me, Don't be optimistic, because it's the young people's world now. They want to hear what they want to hear, and you're a classic rocker. I don't know if you're gonna get the play.
~By Bob Seger ~
I want to take roles that challenge me and I want to like the script and obviously feel connected with the director because the director to me is so important.
~By Amy Smart ~
The death of my daughter is a subject I talk about briefly because there is nothing more tragic.
~By Ben Vereen ~
We decided that the French could never write user-friendly software because they're so rude.
~By Doug Coupland ~
Debt is such a powerful tool, it is such a useful tool, it's much better than colonialism ever was because you can keep control without having an army, without having a whole administration.
~By Susan George ~
It's been a fascinating thing because we didn't really know how to write when we started South Park at all. It's been like, we've just sort of grown up a bit and it's amazing to just see how, if you take Butters and Cartman and put them in any scene, it works.
~By Trey Parker ~
So many groups fail because they spend all their time in the clubs. Work pours in and they can't handle it because of late-night drinking.
~By Maurice Gibb ~
It's been very nice. I haven't gotten out too much because we've been working a lot but other wise the people have been very nice and I've had a good time.
~By Bo Derek ~
I tend to discourage people from calling me 'Sir Ian,' because I don't like being separated out from the rest of the population. Of course, it can be useful if you're writing an official letter, like trying to get a visa or something passed through Parliament. They're impressed by these things.
~By Ian McKellen ~
You can call me an older woman - I don't mind that at all - just don't call me an old one, because I'm not.
~By Doris Roberts ~
So, first you have to be able to play with a metronome. Then you take your freedom. If you play in an orchestra, you got to watch the conductor, he is like a metronome, but it is more difficult because he can change rhythms.
~By Ruggiero Ricci ~
The failure to dissect the cause of war leaves us open for the next installment.
~By Chris Hedges ~
The thing about a hero, is even when it doesn't look like there's a light at the end of the tunnel, he's going to keep digging, he's going to keep trying to do right and make up for what's gone before, just because that's who he is.
~By Joss Whedon ~
I've never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It's probably because they have forgotten their own.
~By Margaret Atwood ~
Our generation has an incredible amount of realism, yet at the same time it loves to complain and not really change. Because, if it does change, then it won't have anything to complain about.
~By Tori Amos ~
We take a lot of care with lyrics because we don't want to offend anybody.
~By Bill Haley ~
This is where young players today want to land. They want to be NBA players because of the money.
~By Oscar Robertson ~
We only had enough money really to cut 10 things and be in there for a month because it's expensive, you know. And, singer/songwriters, today are lucky if they can get a deal, you know. So, we actually worked so fast that we really cut 20 things.
~By Graham Nash ~
If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty.'
~By Jeff Foxworthy ~
Because I get nervous all the time. It's weird but I think it's fun and it's refreshing. It's always good to be that way. That keeps me appreciative of everything.
~By Christina Milian ~
Because it appears to me a hazardous thing to exchange my soul for my shadow.
~By Adelbert von Chamisso ~
It appears to be monumental only because it's art.

~By Brady Anderson ~
We cannot turn the clock back nor can we undo the harm caused, but we have the power to determine the future and to ensure that what happened never happens again.
~By Paul Kagame ~
Being in love was like China: you knew it was there, and no doubt it was very interesting, and some people went there, but I never would. I'd spend all my life without ever going to China, but it wouldn't matter, because there was all the rest of the world to visit.
~By Philip Pullman ~
My goal was to play in the NHL, because that is the best hockey in the world.
~By Jaromir Jagr ~
I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.
~By Frida Kahlo ~
To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be.
