  13. I think everyone's experience with a terminal disease is so deeply personal and unique to the person, the context in which they're living and the relationships that they have.

  15. I'm not someone who likes to have my picture taken, let alone see it plastered all over the place.
  16. It is always good to explore the stuff you don't agree with, to try and understand a different lifestyle or foreign worldview. I like to be challenged in that way, and always end up learning something I didn't know.

  27. You know when someone's over-flattering you in a way. You smile but you can't believe it.

  5. I couldn't be an ingenue today, because the business has changed. I remember when you could dress for a premiere just by putting on a cute top. Now you have to be perfect and fabulous in every way, or you're ridiculed.
  6. I did get to keep the wedding dresses from 'Runaway Bride'. They're all boxed up in my garage. I've never opened them. It'll be fun one day when Hazel is taller. She can play dress-up with her friends.

  10. If you love someone, you say it, right then, out loud. Otherwise, the moment just passes you by.

  12. It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates.Light and funny has a more compelling quality when you're younger. But I haven't abandoned the genre: I love falling down I love Lucille Ball. It's just that a lot of those stories revolve around problems that I can't convincingly portray at this age.
  13. Los Angeles is such a town of show business, and I'm a terrible celebrity. I find it difficult - it's the beast that must be fed. There's this big wheel of pictures and articles that goes around, and you get pinned on it.

  15. 'Snow White' is an old fairy tale, so obviously the idea of vanity and obsession with youth is long-standing. With today's science, people have become crazy with trying to move their face around. It's bizarre.
  16. Something that's such a joy in my life every day - cooking - is this incredible, horrific danger to women around the world.
  17. They say I can open movies, and that's nice in that it puts into people's minds that women can do it. It's not just Kevin Costner, not just Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not just the guys.

  8. I want to light the lights of patriotism.

  15. The politicians always told us that the Cold War stand-off could only change by way of nuclear war. None of them believed that such systemic change was possible.
  16. The sole and basic source of our strength is the solidarity of workers, peasants and the intelligentsia, the solidarity of the nation, the solidarity of people who seek to live in dignity, truth, and in harmony with their conscience.
  17. The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I see it, is service to a fellow human being.
  18. We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless.
  19. You have riches and freedom here but I feel no sense of faith or direction. You have so many computers, why don't you use them in the search for love?

 

  1. And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I'm going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I'm going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan.
  2. But I'm pretty good with collaborative thinking. I work well with other people.
  3. I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody's talents.

  6. I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.
  7. I rate Morrissey as one of the best lyricists in Britain. For me, he's up there with Bryan Ferry.

  9. I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.
  10. I'm just an individual who doesn't feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I'm working for me.
  11. It would be my guess that Madonna is not a very happy woman. From my own experience, having gone through persona changes like that, that kind of clawing need to be the center of attention is not a pleasant place to be.
  12. On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.
  13. The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.
  14. There's a schizoid streak within the family anyway so I dare say that I'm affected by that. The majority of the people in my family have been in some kind of mental institution, as for my brother he doesn't want to leave. He likes it very much.
  15. To not be modest about it, you'll find that with only a couple of exceptions, most of the musicians that I've worked with have done their best work by far with me.

  9. I perfectly understood President Obama's attitude throughout the French presidential campaign. He had no reason to distance himself from Nicolas Sarkozy. It's the basic solidarity that leaders who worked together owe to each other.

  11. I want to initiate a change in society in the long term.

  15. That is now my mission: to provide a European vision of growth, employment, prosperity - in one word, our future.
  16. The transatlantic relationship is vital for both our countries: France will remain a reliable ally of the United States. Nevertheless, ally does not mean aligned.
  17. The United Nations will be at the heart of our international activities. France will assume its full responsibilities at the Security Council by putting its status at the service of peace, respect for human rights and development.
  18. We are a big country, with lots of advantages and history. We are proud to be French. We have to call on patriotism at this time... to ask for an effort in the battle against debt.

  5. I blame my mother for my poor sex life. All she told me was 'the man goes on top and the woman underneath.' For three years my husband and I slept in bunk beds.
  6. I don't excercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor.
  7. I enjoy life when things are happening. I don't care if it's good things or bad things. That means you're alive.

  2. Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.
  3. I can only speak for myself, and hope people hear my words and see me on television speaking for myself. And, hopefully, they'll be able to make their own judgment. And at the end of the day, I just want my work to speak for itself.

  7. I grew up in the Bronx where you would stay up late with your girlfriends, just being silly in our bedrooms, whatever. And I was always the clown.
  8. I just knew that was what I wanted to do. I was going to perform as a singer I was going to perform as a dancer, and I was, you know, going to do movies and be an actress. I was going to do it or die trying. That's what my life was.
  9. I like to cook Puerto Rican food. That's what I grew up on: rice, beans, meat, some Italian-American food. I know my way around the kitchen.
  10. I like to maintain a certain sense of fantasy in my life. I am kind of like that at home. Do I have the full hair and makeup? No. But I might have the nice dress on.
  11. I remember when I was 33 or 34, it was devastating because I realized I wasn't a kid anymore. The great thing about 40 was that I really felt like I had life experience and knew what I was doing now.
  12. I think if you're in a committed relationship, unless you have some sort of an understanding, monogamy is something that should exist.

  4. I have this extraordinary life during the day, and then I get to come home to my sweet husband who loves to cook with me. I have a nice glass of wine, he has some scotch, we chat, we cook, and we hang out with the dog. I have an absolute dream life.I live in, literally, the same home when I was swiping my first bank card and wondering if I'd have to put back the Charmin. We still don't have a dishwasher. My mom has done all these gardens so now my house looks like the garden shack in the middle.

  8. If you want to look at the state of humans, you should look at the state of animals first. People are choosing whether or not they can feed an animal and their family. And every shelter coast-to-coast is stuffed.
  9. It only looks like I get to eat a lot of food on TV. I really just get the one bite and the crew and guests eat everything else.

  11. I've never been a huge sweets eater, and I've always loved a Mediterranean diet. We eat a lot of dark leafy greens, and a couple meals each week are meat-free. We enjoy eating a balanced diet.
  12. My mom, who's been in the restaurant business for 40 years, is the number-one influence in my life. But I look up to a lot of people in the industry. Tops on my list is Mario Batali. My mom and Mario taught me the same lesson: Food is love.

  6. I do love the films I've done in the past. I work hard in my movies and my friends work hard and we're trying to make people laugh and I'm very proud of that.
  7. I mean, I look at my dad. He was twenty when he started having a family, and he was always the coolest dad. He did everything for his kids, and he never made us feel like he was pressured. I know that it must be a great feeling to be a guy like that.
  8. I never had a speech from my father 'this is what you must do or shouldn't do' but I just learned to be led by example. My father wasn't perfect.
  9. I sang a song at my sister's wedding. My mother forced me into that, too. But that one felt all right.
  10. I sing seriously to my mom on the phone. To put her to sleep, I have to sing 'Maria' from West Side Story. When I hear her snoring, I hang up.

  14. Kids end up seeing my movies anyway but some of the mothers get mad at me so I figured I'd make one that I can't get yelled at for.

  20. You know, when you don't go on TV and talk about how many women you sleep with, some people in Hollywood, that are supposedly 'in the know,' start whispering that you're gay. If I were gay, I wouldn't be ashamed to admit it, but I'm not.

  19. Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilisation in World War Two. We have everything we need except political will, but political will is a renewable resource.

 

  1. All I'm trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me.
  2. America wants its respect.
  3. Don't change on me. Don't extort me unless you intend to do it forever.
  4. Dre was one of my heros in the music industry. If he's not down for his homeboys, I don't wanna be a part of him or around him.
  5. I don't have no fear of death. My only fear is coming back reincarnated.
  6. I just don't know how to deal with so many people giving me that much affection. I never had that in my life.
  7. I think I'm a natural-born leader. I know how to bow down to authority if it's authority that I respect.
  8. I worked hard all my life as far as this music business. I dreamed of the day when I could go to New York and feel comfortable and they could come out here and be comfortable.
  9. If I win and get the money, then the Oakland Police department is going to buy a boys' home, me a house, my family a house, and a Stop Police Brutality Center.
  10. If you believe in God, believe in Death Row East.
  11. I'm 23 years old. I might just be my mother's child, but in all reality, I'm everybody's child. Nobody raised me I was raised in this society.
  12. In my mind I'm a blind man doin' time.
  13. It seems like every time you come up something happens to bring you back down.
  14. It's a struggle for every young Black man. You know how it is, only God can judge us.
  15. It's the game of life. Do I win or do I lose? One day they're gonna shut the game down. I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it's my turn to leave.
  16. My mama always used to tell me: 'If you can't find somethin' to live for, you best find somethin' to die for.'
  17. Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.
  18. The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.
  19. The only time I have problems is when I sleep.
  20. There's nobody in the business strong enough to scare me.
  21. Thug Life to me is dead.
  22. What I learned in jail is that I can't change. I can't live a different lifestyle-this is it. This is the life that they gave and this is the life that I made.
  23. With all my fans I got a family again.

 

  1. After all, enforced national bilingualism in this country isn't mere policy. It has attained the status of a religion. It's a dogma which one is supposed to accept without question.
  2. As a religion, bilingualism is the god that failed. It has led to no fairness, produced no unity, and cost Canadian taxpayers untold millions.
  3. First of all, I can't forget my first responsibility - which is to be the Leader of the Opposition and that's to provide an alternative government.
  4. Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack on our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society... It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff.
  5. I do not intend to dispute in any way the need for defence cuts and the need for government spending cuts in general. I do not share a not in my backyard approach to government spending reductions.
  6. I don't believe an Alliance government should sponsor legislation on abortion or a referendum on abortion.
  7. I have no difficulty with the recognition of civil unions for non-traditional relationships but I believe in law we should protect the traditional definition of marriage.
  8. I think first and foremost everybody should understand that Canadians are strongly committed to the system of universal health insurance, to the principle that your ability to pay does not determine your access to critical medical service.
  9. I think the way to change it is to handle issues individually when it's essential to do so.
  10. If you want to be a government in a minority Parliament, you have to work with other people.
  11. It's the government's obligation to look really to the third parties to get the support to govern.
  12. I've always been clear, I support the traditional definition of marriage.
  13. Look, I think the worst case scenario is obvious. I think first of all it doesn't work for very long. It's an unstable government that raises taxes and destroys the image we're building for Canada as a strong place to invest.
  14. On the justification for the war, it wasn't related to finding any particular weapon of mass destruction.
  15. The government can only be brought down because it alienates several parties in the House.
  16. The Leader of the Opposition's constitutional obligation - the obligation to Parliament - it's the reason we did the merger! - is to make sure Canadians have an alternative for government.
  17. We should have been there shoulder to shoulder with our allies. Our concern is the instability of our government as an ally. We are playing again with national and global security matters.
  18. We'll support the government on issues if it's essential to the country but our primary responsibility is not to prop up the government, our responsibility is to provide an opposition and an alternative government for Parliament and for Canadians.
  19. We've got to see a state where the Afghan government can handle its own day-to-day security.
  20. What the government has to do, if it wants to govern for any length of time, is it must appeal primarily to the third parties in the House of Commons to get them to support it.
  21. Whether Canada ends up as o-ne national government or two national governments or several national governments, or some other kind of arrangement is, quite frankly, secondary in my opinion.

 

  1. Everywhere I go I buy new music shirts.
  2. Getting into music has changed my personality and way of doing things. I'm far more open now.
  3. I always tell people that our sports aren't that dangerous.
  4. I can't stay away from Chinese food. I really love that stuff.
  5. I know my family and I would always go up to the mountains just for fun. We always skied. Then, all of a sudden, my brother started snow boarding. Older brother thing, I had to do what he was doing. So I started snow boarding.
  6. I remember thinking that I'd way rather give my parents my money, and not have to like have them go to work anymore, you know what I mean. Because I'd way rather spend more time with them.
  7. I think everybody can agree that you can hear a certain song and it will put you in a certain mood, and that's just the beauty of music and I am so inspired by that.
  8. I think guitar is the best thing in the world.
  9. I wear black skinny-fit jeans - I can't get away from them. It's funny because I wore baggy jeans for ages, then one day my friend convinced me to try on a skinny pair and I thought they were great.
  10. If you do a trick and it doesn't work out, that can stick with you. I like to go back, nail the trick, and, 'OK, I'm cool, it's all good.'
  11. I'm proud of the U.S.A. We've done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor.
  12. I've always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them.
  13. I've had dreams about tricks.
  14. My dad, he's the rocker.
  15. My friends ask me why I still live with my family, but I feel comfortable there. We've all been through so much together.
  16. My mom was a waitress, and my dad was a plumber who worked for the City of San Clemente fixing mains breaks, so not too glamorous.
  17. Snowboarding's tough, because you've got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I don't have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding.
  18. Surfers have the most attitude.
  19. We all started snowboarding in the beginning as a family just to be closer together, go on trips. It was our soccer, but instead of Dad yelling at me from the sideline he is there riding with me and hitting the jumps even before I am hitting them.
  20. What drives me now is the fact that I feel like I still have so many tricks that I want to learn and so many things that I can still do. And so many cool things outside of sports that I have been doing.
  21. You know the best thing about competition? There's this whole strategy game, and when it all works out its like solving that hard math equation. You finally get the answer and you're so happy.

 

  1. A lot of folks believe their best years are behind them. But I want Americans to recognize that's not true.
  2. At the end of the day, sleep is a barometer of your emotional health. And so if you're not in the right place where you need to be, then you're going to have voices keeping you up at night because you have to work through those issues.
  3. Biology always beats will power.
  4. Food - I love nuts. I eat them all the time, they're easy to carry around, and I am never hungry all day long.
  5. Food is no longer sacred to us: in becoming too efficient we've changed its nature.
  6. I get up at the same time every morning.
  7. I get up in the morning and do a seven-minute yoga workout. I know the most likely time I'm going to do something is when I first get up, and I make it short because, like you, I don't really want to do that first thing in the morning.
  8. I like shows that have some level of intelligence to them. When it's not as predictable, when you don't know what's coming at you.
  9. I saw many people who had advanced heart disease and I was so frustrated because I knew if they just knew how to do the right thing, simple lifestyle and diet steps, that the entire trajectory of their life and health would have been different.
  10. In my business, if I get too close to you and you die, it hurts me. And so you develop a natural inclination not to be close to the patient, so that if things don't work out ideally, you can still get up the next day and care for the next patient.
  11. In Turkey, you're not allowed to be left alone in the hospital. The nurse teaches the family how to do things, and somebody is always there with the patient.
  12. It's difficult to love someone you don't respect, which is hard to remember when you're having an argument.
  13. Most food you drop is still perfectly edible. If it was in your eyesight the whole time, you can pick it up and eat it.
  14. No matter how old you are, no matter how much you weigh, you can still control the health of your body.
  15. The opposite of anger is not calmness, its empathy.
  16. There are a lot of food Nazis in the U.S., but I believe if you can show people what's really important, they'll judge the rest for themselves.
  17. True health care reform cannot happen in Washington. It has to happen in our kitchens, in our homes, in our communities. All health care is personal.
  18. We are spending most of our time in American health care fixing the mistakes that either we in the profession are causing or our patients are, without recognizing it, causing to themselves.
  19. We don't need sugar to live, and we don't need it as a society.
  20. We don't walk. We overeat because we've made it easy to overeat. We have fast-food joints on every corner. By the way, the 'we' is all of us. It's not the government. It's all of us doing this together.
  21. Women are much more sensitive. We know that emotionally but their organs respond to the same degree.
  22. You don't have a family doctor anymore like you did when you were a kid, who treated you throughout your life.
  23. You get the health benefits of coffee up through about the first twenty-four ounces. It's the biggest source of antioxidants for Americans, and we think it helps prevent Alzheimer's and Parkinson's as well.
