~By Dexter Gordon ~
It's so funny because I listen to songs that I recorded that I didn't really know anything about at the time. Later on I'm starting to feel the songs. Sing them first, feel them later.
~By Tanya Tucker ~
'Press Your Luck' was probably the most exciting because of the unpredictability of the game and how I won on one of the three days on the very last spin against all odds. It was one of those great unpredictable game show moments.

Michael left because of the Bulls' management, not because he'd lost his love of playing the game.

~By Malcolm Wilson ~

~By Emily Mortimer ~
These rovers are living on borrowed time. We're so past warranty on them. You try to push them hard every day because we're living day to day.
~By Steven Squyres ~
I do fish. I think there is a connection between thinking and fishing mostly because you spend a lot of time up to your waist in water without a whole lot to keep your mind busy.
~By Anthony Doerr ~
Which implies that the real issue in art is the audience's response. Now I claim that when I make things, I don't care about the audience's response, I'm making them for myself. But I'm making them for myself as audience, because I want to wake myself up.
~By Richard Foreman ~
I hope that by going to visit the pope I have enabled everybody to see that the words Catholic and Protestant, as ordinarily used, are completely out of date. They are almost always used now purely for propaganda purposes. That is why so much trouble is caused by them.
~By Geoffrey Fisher ~
The first war plan has failed because of Iraqi resistance. Now they are trying to write another war plan. Clearly, the American war planners misjudged the determination of the Iraqi forces.

~By Victoria Jackson ~
I didn't get the degree because in my last year, for my thesis film I made a feature called Permanent Vacation and they'd given me a scholarship, the Louis B Mayer fellowship and they made a mistake.
~By Jim Jarmusch ~

~By Benjamin Spock ~
It ended up being a very good thing, because they finally started writing for the character, and I realized that you have to go to work with a purpose. I learned from the experience and then moved on.
~By Matthew Ashford ~
I know nothing about sex, because I was always married.
~By Zsa Zsa Gabor ~
The Arena League is the best thing that could have happened to me because I get to run the whole process. I'm seeing not only the football side but the business side.
~By John Elway ~
Also for me it was different because I play a lot of villains and in this one I play a dad and I play a good guy, basically. He's the Secretary of the Treasury. I never had a job like that.
~By Christopher Walken ~
There's a power in women being women. There's a role for men, but we don't have to be men, because we're women. I think that representing that on television is a cool thing.
~By Jenna Elfman ~
It's like they had a backlash the first 11 years. I think the reason why it always seems like there's a backlash is because when bands are unknown, they only get written about by fans.
~By Kim Deal ~
We do nods to Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible because they are popular with our fan base.
~By Keenen Ivory Wayans ~

~By Sean Hayes ~

~By John Coolidge ~
I don't ask for an apology because it's only tomorrow's fish-and-chip paper.

~By Robert Kirkman ~
I went back to work because someone had to pay for the groceries.
~By Bette Davis ~
Why are we here? I think many people assume, wrongly, that a company exists solely to make money. Money is an important part of a company's existence, if the company is any good. But a result is not a cause. We have to go deeper and find the real reason for our being.
~By David Packard ~
A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.
~By Gabriel Garcia Marquez ~
He's going to be around a long, long time, if his body holds up. That's always a concern with a lot of players because of how much they play. A lot of guys can't handle it. But it looks like he can.
~By Jack Nicklaus ~
There is curiously little art concerning the efficacy of reason - perhaps simply because reason is not noticeably efficacious.
~By Nicholas Mosley ~

A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.
~By Irving Babbitt ~
And I agreed with that, and I couldn't wait to change my name anyway, because I'm not too fond of the name of Reginald. It's a very kind of '50s English name.
~By Elton John ~
Generally speaking, we get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money, 'cause they're convinced that there is a free lunch.
~By Ron Bloom ~
According to the standard model billions of years ago some little quantum fluctuation, perhaps a slightly lower density of matter, maybe right where we're sitting right now, caused our galaxy to start collapsing around here.
~By Seth Lloyd ~
We write because we believe the human spirit cannot be tamed and should not be trained.
~By Nikki Giovanni ~
Just with the basic one guitar, one piano and one vocal and an audience, I think that the intimacy comes through more. People feel much more connected to the song because there's nothing in the way, and I actually enjoy doing that.
~By Graham Nash ~
We went through all the scenes and they became kind of funny and they expanded a little bit and because it seemed to be working so well in the movie, they added a couple of things later on in the movie and that's how it turned out.
~By Eugene Levy ~
I've been watching what I eat. When I was putting on all the weight, I was drinking Guinness and not eating. I didn't have room to because I was drinking all the time.
~By Robbie Williams ~
I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.
~By Douglas MacArthur ~

I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself.
~By Pietro Aretino ~
Now, there are sometimes making a connection between one section and another that sometimes you do want to see the pattern because it helps you to lead into the next thing - it's a rhetorical thing, where you just see how the pattern has to go into the next thing.
~By Leo Ornstein ~
I hate the terminology of "costume" because my clothes are not costumes at all. I think they're high fashion, avant-garde, and more couture, definitely, and yes, some of my pieces are not particularly wearable, but I wouldn't say they're costumes, I'd say they're more couture.
~By Christian Siriano ~
Belief is such a powerful thing - but because it is, it can also be very destructive and it's very easily manipulated.
~By Jena Malone ~
I wish I had the billions of dollars that George Soros has that he has used to fund Democratic causes in the past.
~By Karl Rove ~

~By Leonardo DiCaprio ~
In Darwin's time all of biology was a black box: not only the cell, or the eye, or digestion, or immunity, but every biological structure and function because, ultimately, no one could explain how biological processes occurred.
~By Michael Behe ~
What is the source of all this trouble? I'm saying that the source is basically in thought. Many people would think that such a statement is crazy, because thought is the one thing we have with which to solve our problems. That's part of our tradition.
~By David Bohm ~
CBS fought very hard on this because it believed and believes that there's a principle at stake here. The principle is that Dan Rather doesn't work for the police, and that people that speak to Dan Rather understand that he's a journalist and not a police agent.
~By Floyd Abrams ~
You can sometimes learn more working with less talented people, because you learn to survive.
~By Jacqueline Bisset ~
When I'm saying hysteria, I'm referring to Freud, because all the women were coming to him with symptoms and seeking help, and he just called it hysteria.
~By Cybill Shepherd ~
I'm also getting an Ovation Legend, because I like them so much.
~By Mark Knopfler ~
I guess because you study the character and you do all those things. But when it comes down to it, it's still my performance, it's still my interpretation. I'm not going to, you know, be a clone - well, I was a clone of Richard Dean Anderson!
~By Michael Welch ~
I always say if you've seen good acting on television, those actors are really good. Because there's just not enough time. You don't have any preparation.
~By Sasha Alexander ~

There certainly does seem a possibility that the detective story will come to an end, simply because the public will have learnt all the tricks.
~By Dorothy L. Sayers ~
Undoubtedly, at the moment, the major cause of CO2 emission is what happens in developed countries.
~By Chris Patten ~
I found I wasn't asking good enough questions because I assumed I knew something. I would box them into a corner with a badly formed question, and they didn't know how to get out of it. Now, I let them take me through it step by step, and I listen.
~By Alan Alda ~
Love must precede hatred, and nothing is hated save through being contrary to a suitable thing which is loved. And hence it is that every hatred is caused by love.
~By Thomas Aquinas ~
I didn't want to be discriminated against because of my gender and status. I promised myself I was never going to be treated as a second-class citizen.
~By Bianca Jagger ~
It was, when I read it, I thought, such a beautiful script. I loved the story. I thought it was well handled. I thought it was even more moving because it was a true story and that made it even more poignant.
~By Jennifer Connelly ~

~By Jesse James ~

~By Sanjay Kumar ~

~By Andy Partridge ~
I don't have dry seasons, because I don't allow them.
~By Thomas Perry ~

~By Colm Meaney ~
We are not coaching on a daily basis because we often travel with our charity and commercial interests.
~By Nadia Comaneci ~
Just because an individual in his 30s hasn't found true love and, yes, there are opportunities to date but it also forces you to be more particular. In so many ways, you become more adamant about finding that right person and not allowing yourself to open up to just anybody.
~By Jeff Garcia ~
This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room.
~By Virginia Woolf ~
Biological age, I think because I've been taking care of myself for so long I know not just my reproductive organs but my heart, you know, are much younger than - than what I am.
~By Cheryl Tiegs ~
I always think the Sex Pistols and the Ramones as very, very important because they stripped things down.
~By Jim Jarmusch ~
People think that because a novel's invented, it isn't true. Exactly the reverse is the case. Biography and memoirs can never be wholly true, since they cannot include every conceivable circumstance of what happened. The novel can do that.
~By Anthony Powell ~
All that I am, I am because of my mind.
~By Paavo Nurmi ~

~By Pete Best ~
All women are wonders because they reduce all men to the obvious.
~By Daniel Mainwaring ~

~By Britney Spears ~
Writing anything is terribly hard but, alas for me, because I am addicted, a heck of a lot of fun. I often am sorry I ever started writing prose, because it is so hard. But I can't stop.
~By Judy Collins ~
Attention-deficit disorders seem to abound in modern society, and we don't know the cause.
~By Marilyn vos Savant ~
Wars are not acts of God. They are caused by man, by man-made institutions, by the way in which man has organized his society. What man has made, man can change.

~By Jo Brand ~
I have thought about the next steps, and you know, they still don't know that I can dance. They don't know it, and it's frustrating me because I feel that it's an edge that I have, and I'm not talking about I took this hip hop class, I'm talking about this is how people actually know me.
~By Naima Adedapo ~
