You can’t succeed coming to the potluck with only a fork.

How many deaf people do you know in real life? Unless they live in a cave, or are 14, which seems to be true for most people in this business, what could I possibly tell them that they don't already know?

Marlee Matlin

I've always had confidence. It came because I have lots of initiative. I wanted to make something of myself.

Eddie Murphy

Even in your hobbies, has there not always been some secret attraction which the others are curiously ignorant of--something, not to be identified with, but always on the verge of breaking through, the smell of cut wood in the workshop or the clap-clap of water against the boat's side? Are not all lifelong friendships born at the moment when at last you meet another human being who has some inkling (but faint and uncertain even in the best) of that something which you were born desiring, and which, beneath the flux of other desires and in all the momentary silences between the louder passions, night and day, year by year, from childhood to old age, you are looking for, watching for, listening for? You have never had it. All the things that have ever deeply possesed your soul have been but hints of it--tantalizing glimspes, promises never quite fulfilled, echoes that died away just as they caught your ear. But if it should really become manifest--if there ever came an echo that did not die away but swelled into the sound itself--you would know it. Beyond all possibility of doubt you would say 'Here at last is the thing I was made for.' We cannot tell each other about it. It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want, the things we desired before we met our wives or made our friends or chose our work, and which we shall still desire on our deathbeds, when the mind no longer knows wife or friend or work. While we are, this is. If we lose this, we lose all.

C.S. Lewis

I believe we need to attract a new generation of the best and brightest to public service and I believe that government can be a source of inspiration, not degradation.

Andrew Cuomo

Do everything with so much love in your heart that you would never want to do it any other way.

Yogi Desai

A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children.

Ian Anderson

I know the resolution. I know the end of the story before it ever begins. I must choose love. And for this, I will surely die.

Addison Moore

Generally a chef's book is like a calling card or a portfolio to display their personal work.

Sally Schneider

I mean, the trouble with some of the kind of relationship movies I've done, is there's only so many ways you can shoot a conversation. I was really tired of talking heads.

Lawrence Kasdan

There is no such thing as magic, supernatural, miracle; only something that's still beyond logic of the observer.

Toba Beta

I always thought I could play pro ball. I had confidence in my ability, You have to. If you don't who will?

Johnny Unitas

I'm a mom, a full-time mom when I'm not taping. I do the carpool thing, and bake the cookies, and do the homework.
