Doug TenNapel

When we go to see comedians or funny movies, they don't address the wall behind them; they face us.

Don Waddell

When we call up players, we don't call them up just to sit on the bench. We expect them to contribute to our team's success right away. This season has been no exception.

We've always tried to reflect people's diverse music collections. We don't want to dismiss our core in any way, but . . . as great as Widespread Panic has been to us and has been a really big part of what we've done, we can't have Widespread Panic every single year.

Wayne Chrebet

We're making light of all the serious, politically correct stuff that society has created. Basically, Earl redeems himself (after) the mistakes he has made in judging people.

Bertrand Russel

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.

James Loney

When we were released I was sure I could jump right back into ordinary life and that's what I wanted the most, but I'm afraid no such luck. When I can get through an ordinary day without shaking legs and a pounding heart, I think that will be a sign that I can start to tell my story.

Colin Farrell

When we were kind of forced (by real life sniper murders in the Washington area that were too close to the film's plot) to pull the picture in October (from its Nov. 15 date), he wasn't nearly as big a star as he is today after 'Daredevil' and 'The Recruit.' He's become this hot guy.

Dan Jacobs

Allan Ray

When I was little, I was a voracious reader, and that really led me to acting as well. I loved being transported into someone else's life, and that's what reading provided me. I also really love to entertain people.

Johnathan Frakes

When I was just acting on the show, I learned my lines, went to sleep, then woke up and went to work. Now it's sort of become an obsession. I like the success. I'm thrilled with the way things have gone-but my life was simpler 10 years ago.

Rachel Tucker

When I was in the running for the role of Elphaba, I knew it was important to research and study as much background information as I could, so I got my head stuck into 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' by Gregory Maguire, and I believe I lost many days, weeks, and months reading it - I was captivated!

Elvis Presley

When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bed -- without a song." So I keep singing my song.

John Pierce

Ontario can expect a surprisingly mild winter, although December and January will be colder than average with very little snow.

Hans-Ulrich Obrist

When I was a kid and started to be obsessed by art in the 1980s, the art world was in this polarity Warhol/Beuys, Beuys/Warhol. Both expended the notion of art extremely, but in very different ways.

David Winters

Weyerhaeuser is a bigger, more complicated company. They're tackling some very tough things, but some of these things you can't resolve overnight, even though Wall Street is obsessed with the short term.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

For men obsessed with women's underwear, a course in washing, ironing and mending is recommended.

Dorothy Allison

Where story comes from, I don't know. I know that I become obsessed with something. An idea, an image, a person, the way a person talks. And then something starts happening that I can't explain, and it has a lot to do with language.

Lee Bermejo

When I was a kid, like four or five years old, I was obsessed with the 'Batman' TV show in the '60s. And I took it totally seriously. At that age, I took it completely seriously.

Lady Gaga

People that are obsessed with hating you, feel flattered. Their whole lives revolve around you.

Bernard Goldberg

Liberals, many of them, not all of them, but many of them are obsessed with race. They see everything through a filter of race.

Conor McGregor

Seems like people get obsessed about times and numbers and weights and that - I'm obsessed with winning.

Kenny Troutt

That kid who lives in the projects, he has a self-esteem problem - everybody looks down on him. He may be a good kid, but other parents don't want their kids to be with them because percentages say they could be bad. I went through a lot of that.

Alan Greenspan

I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interests of organisations, specifically banks and others, were such that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and their equity in the firms,

Alan Greenspan

We are in the midst of a once-in-a-century credit tsunami. Central banks and governments are being required to take unprecedented measures. Those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholders' equity are in a state of shocked disbelief.

Curt Johnston

We've always done majority rule. You can't give veto power to one board member. That's a terrible choice. I think it's a real mistake and will create a lot more problems than it will solve.

Carl Safina

When I was in high school in the early 1970s, we knew we were running out of oil; we knew that easy sources were being capped; we knew that diversifying would be much better; we knew that there were terrible dictators and horrible governments that we were enriching who hated us. We knew all that and we did really nothing.

Death is a companion for all of us, whether we acknowledge it or not, whether we're aware of it or not, and it's not necessarily a terrible thing.

Cheryl Strayed

I was a terrible believer in things,but I was also a terrible nonbeliever in things. I was as searching as I was skeptical. I didn't know where to put my faith,or if there was such a place,or even what the word faith meant, in all of it's complexity. Everything seemed to be possibly potent and possibly fake.

Obie Schramm

The point is to keep these kids safe. Unfortunately, there's always a handful of students drinking, and that makes it hard for everyone. We don't want something terrible to happen.

We believe that's the best way that cricket can show it's remorse, can show the people of the countries that have been affected that we're thinking of them and we're concerned to do whatever we can to ease the suffering at this terrible time.

David Hume

Apart from the representational content of an idea there is another component: its force and vivacity, its impetus.

James Atlas

He describes himself as a mild depressive, and he goes through just terrible suffering, much of it self-generated.

As vivacity is the gift of woman, gravity is that of men.
