I wanted to write about my mother as she should have been if she had not been messed up by World War I.
Doris Lessing
I love the individual sport stuff but the experiences I've had with some great people over 12 or 15 years are what makes is special. That individual thing: me versus the bowler is great but you get that team feeling as well and that's why it suits me so well.

'Community' gets to be the indie movie, while a 'Modern Family' gets to be the big blockbuster release. They service that big massive audience, and we service a smaller audience. But we get a lot of creative freedom.
Anthony Russo
I feel that my environment reflects my belief in the grace and art and elegance of living simply.

I still don't like doing interviews. I hardly do any... I hope this will be the last one for a long while.
Beth Gibbons
My mom is a huge woman of worth for me because she's been my idol my whole life. My mom was someone who juggled everything. She had her own career, she raised five kids, she was Superwoman... and she was never satisfied doing just one thing because... she probably just had too much energy.

I saw my first UFC fight when I was 15 and figured, 'This is what I want to do when I grow up.'
Brian Ortega
I was the kind of person who got bullied and loved the attention of it.
David Walliams
My height is immaterial; it's my heart and mind which count.

The Viennese wash everything. Where else in the world does the government hire public servants to wash public telephone booths and the glass over traffic lights? Every time I see someone doing these things, I smile like a child.
Jonathan Carroll
If you're surrounded by noise all the time, it has a pretty bad effect on the spirit.
Julian Treasure
'Harry Potter' made it cool to read children's fiction, and 'Twilight' did the same for a slightly older age group. What I'm seeing is mothers and daughters who love to read the same books.

Attempts to settle crises by unilateral sanctions outside the framework of U.N. Security Council decisions threaten international peace and stability. Such attempts are counterproductive and contradict the norms and principles of international law.
Sergei Lavrov
When I was signed to Quincy Jones before I went independent, he told me to rap what you know, and people will forever feel you. And I stuck to that, no matter how many people called me a devil worshiper, no matter how many people call me a cult leader. I stuck with rapping about what I know.
