...there are books...which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.

Some of us are interested in directors, but really the vast majority of us are interested in actors. You experience the films through the actors, so they're all locked into your imagination in some kind of layer of fantasy or hatred or wherever they settle into your imagination.

Danny Boyle

Yoga is almost like music in a way there's no end to it.

Sting

Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult, I've decided, is only a slow sewing shut.

Jodi Picoult

It ain't easy to break out of a mold, but if you do your work, people will ultimately see what you're capable of. Too often, people find it easier to make assumptions and stick with what they believe. They put you in a place and it makes their job easier. The good people constantly search for something different.

Christopher Meloni

True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of so fine a virtue.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I like to give dimension to shots inside action scenes. It's demanding because you have to rehearse a lot of things happening at the same time and frame all those things in a shot. But I feel like when you accomplish that then you've got a cool action scene.

Jose Padilha

The cult of the individual is killing us. I think Twitter signals the death of western civilisation, but people have been saying that since Demosthenes.

Kate Atkinson

You always have to give 100 percent, because if you don't, someone, someplace, will give 100 percent and will beat you when you meet.

Ed Macauley

My grandfather was a voodoo priest. A lot of my life dealt with spirituality. I can close my eyes and remember where I come from.

Wyclef Jean

The food in the House of Commons is fairly good. The cafe in Portcullis House is really very high quality, and you also have a choice of eating in the more traditional restaurants, the Churchill Room or the Members' Dining Room. I don't often eat in them, though, as I'm usually on the run.

Vince Cable

We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.

Albert Einstein

One's liberty should end when it becomes the curse of his neighbor.
