Scott Walker

We've always had the rallying cry of, 'Hey, nobody out there thinks we can do it,' and that was fun. We've never really had a star player, and there's never really been a case of 'So-and-so didn't produce and that's why we're losing.' So it might take a little adjustment, but I think we're definitely a lot better team with him.

When we were coming into the (scouting) combine, they asked who was the best back you played against, and I said (Williams) the whole time. He's going to be great. You look at him, and you might not think he's all that strong. But he's a power runner. It's the style he plays.

Avi

I want my readers to feel, to think, sometimes to laugh. But most of all I want them to enjoy a good read.

Nobody reads a reference book to be amused, much less charmed.

I was sitting in my minivan and started thinking more about the game. My wife and I enjoy word games, but she reads a magazine every time we play Scrabble because she says I take too long, so I thought about something like Scrabble but with the speed of a Boggle.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

My mother reads tarot cards, actually, but I won't let her read mine.

Peter Horbury

Akon

My ideas come when I least expect it, so I've always got to have a studio nearby or close by somewhere.

Bruce Beresford

There are some good writer/directors in the U.S. as well. In general the writing and directing tend to be separated but I bet that most of the directors have a big effect on the scripts. These days the studios tend to bring in hordes of writers.

Dan Glickman

We're in a period of great experimentation. The studios are pretty committed to traditional theatrical distribution, but it's been changing.

Liza Minnelli

I had no interest in filming. I sometimes went to the studios with my dad, but it was slow-going; it was boring to watch. I always ended up in the rehearsal hall watching the dancing. That's what I liked to do.

I think the big studios shaped and formed the artists that they put under contract.

I have friends that I have made through Twitter or things like that, but they're all verified as real people - I've either seen them perform, or we're mutual fans of each other, something like that. I don't have any authentic, 'Catfish'-worthy stories.

Robert Scoble

What's really going on is, on your iPhone, you have 200 apps, and they're all collecting a little data on you. Twitter knows a certain thing, Foursquare knows something else, my Fitbit app knows something else, my Waze app knows something else.

The people you're friends with on Facebook or the people you follow on Twitter are trusted sources of information.

I'm sort of shy, and Twitter feels like chatting all day with a group. I like to follow people. I'm following Joel Osteen, Steve Martin, and an anonymous purple egg - just to see where they go with it.

Amy Jo Martin

We live in a social world now, and there's no denying the power that Twitter has yielded across all verticals. Sports is a perfect fit because fans are highly emotionally charged and things happen quick.

Lance Gross

If I had my way, the woman I marry, she wouldn't be a part of Twitter and she wouldn't be on Facebook.

Taylor Spreitler

I think it's very helpful having Twitter and all that. I mainly talk about work on Twitter. I keep my personal life separate from my work life, but I think it helps because everybody's on the Internet now - everybody has Facebook; everybody has Twitter.

Ed Sheeran

You can't call me a Twitter phenomenon or a YouTube one. These things are useful, but so's hard gigging. One year I did 311 shows. I did six in one night alone.

Eliza Taylor

Being on Twitter and social media, you obviously get to see a lot more of what people are thinking of you and of your show.

Catherine Marquette

United is thrilled to be able to come out to Payne Elementary to kick off the start of our fourth season of United Reads.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Destiny is usually just around the corner. Like a thief, a hooker, or a lottery vendor: its three most common personifications. But what destiny does not do is home visits. You have to go for it.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Destiny doesn't do home visits... you have to go for it yourself.

Elliott Abrams

Denmark has long been regarded as one of the world's most attractive nations, for citizens and tourists alike. My own visits there, years ago as a student, were delightful.

Ellen Potter

A lot of times, when I go back to books I loved when I was young, I don't quite understand what it was that I loved about them. Rereading 'The Secret Garden,' I felt a lot like Mary feels when she visits her garden.

Greg Murtha

We'd get snow and rain, and then a lot of rain. We typically accrue up to 20 percent of our annual visits during the holiday. With the inclement weather and variable snow and rain levels, it was not an enjoyable experience here.

Hidenao Nakagawa

The prime minister has clearly said his visits are private ones. The difference between a private visit and an official one is that the prime minister can limit who he worships.
