Mike Miller

John Cornyn

What this does is serve our national interest from the standpoint of increased security.

Richard Boucher

Grant Woods

When I was a boy, we all learned the story of George Washington and the cherry tree and accepted it as gospel truth.

Mason Locke Weems.

Erik Autor

Joe Arpaio

When we go to court, they are going to have to come up with all the evidence where they are accusing me and my dedicated deputies of racial profiling. It's always easy to throw the race card in there and that's what they're doing in Washington today, that they're concerned about racial profiling.

Mary Berry

What historians will do is not focus on her role as the wife of Martin ... or that she carried on his legacy. They will focus on how she managed to be the leader of institutions and movements by her own right. And not just in organizing the King Center.

Mike Stamper

Years ago, when my wife and I first got the idea for a beach-based competition, we decided it should have its own name.

Nicolas Cage

With my goal to make a family drama and also my artistic aspirations of doing things which are a bit edgy, I've gotten a really happy marriage in 'The Weather Man', ... Gore went outside the box and did something personal and artistic, but at the same time it hits all the right notes in terms of children that may be going through a divorce, or a husband and wife dealing with it in a way that's not Pollyanna or saccharine or B.S. I haven't made that many movies like it. I know I've never made a movie as individual as 'The Weather Man' in dealing with family issues.

Tim Flint
