It's always cool to meet people who can do things that you have no capacity to do.

I like being out front, doing what I do, but then I also like playing in a band too. I'd like to do stuff like I did with Deee-lite. I went out and played with them and they were the stars, that was cool.

Bootsy Collins

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

Babe Ruth

We men are fascinated by the things we don't really understand. It gives us something to think and talk about: like females, they drive us nuts.

Criss Jami

Mother is far too clever to understand anything she does not like.

Arnold Bennett

We learned in World War II that no single nation holds a monopoly on wisdom, morality or right to power, but that we must fight for the weak and promote democracy.

Joe Baca

I have a huge respect for writers and realise that this is not an area that I find easy. I doubt that I would have the patience in front of a blank sheet of paper to become a writer.

Jenny Agutter

I've had to do that all my life because my energy is way, way overwhelming.

Kevin Bacon

Sooner or later even the fastest runners have to stand and fight.

Stephen King

I've managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Part of the success of This American Life, I think, is due to the fact that none of us sound like we should be on the radio. We don't sound professional; we sound like people you would know.
