Alan Alda

I dont see we can have a separation of church and state in this government if you have to pass a religious test to get in this government.

They wont all lie to you but a lot of them will. And itll be the easiest lie they ever had to tell to get your votes.

Kevin Jackson

We've always hoped that Page 2 would be a destination for people who wanted a good laugh and didn't take sports too seriously.

Sean Cotter

We've always felt Heidi was a real good hitter, and she's definitely a feared hitter in the conference, but it just seemed like she just wasn't able to put it together for long stretches. And this year she's just been in a really good place, I think, both physically and mentally.

Justine Bateman

When I was in my teens and 20s, I looked to older Italian and French women. They always seemed so incredibly attractive to me because of their confidence.

Sven Eriksson

my mom and dad, the upbringing we had.

Maajid Nawaz

My upbringing was completely liberal from the start. In fact, I didn't even have a Muslim identity.

Johnny Depp

My upbringing made me as I am now. But I can become merry and happy at once. There were many years I was feeling at a loss about my life or how I grew up. I couldn't understand what is right or what is precious. At that time, I was so miserable and self-defeating. I was feeling angry with various things. My anger came up to the surface then. I don't say such tendency has disappeared. Even now there are anger and the dark side in myself. But it's the first time I've been so close to the light.
