George Sheehan

White is actually one of my favorite colors. I have a white car. I love white.

Writing fiction is for me a fraught business, an occasion of daily dread for at least the first half of the novel, and sometimes all the way through. The work process is totally different from writing nonfiction. You have to sit down every day and make it up.

Joan Didion

In the early days I had a very black-and-white view of everything. I think that's kind of natural for anyone who's just embraced Islam - or any religion - as a convert. It was important for me to duck out of the fast and furious life I'd been living as a pop star. I was in a different mood.

Cat Stevens

Albert Einstein

My parents are very hard working people who did everything they could for their children. I have two brothers and they worked dog hard to give us an education and provide us with the most comfortable life possible. My dad provided for his family daily. So, yes, that is definitely in my DNA.

David Oyelowo

I don't follow politics much.

Vivienne Westwood

Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of certain income can indulge.

George William Curtis

I just don't see myself as a travel writer. I can't. I don't.
