I'm not into business at all.

Expect nothing, live frugally on surprise.

Alice Walker

Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.

Dan Rather

That's what I loved about show business, no two days were alike. It's an exciting life.

Barbara Mandrell

Constantly stopping to explain oneself may expand into a frustrating burden for the rare individual, so ceasing to do so is like finally dropping the weights and sprinting towards his goals. Those who insincerely misunderstand, who intentionally distort the motives of a pure-intentioned individual, then, no longer have the opportunity to block his path; instead, they are the ones left to stand on the sidelines shouting frustratedly in the wind of his trail.

Criss Jami

Lou Reed

A saboteur in the house of art and a comedienne in the house of art theory, Lawler has spent three decades documenting the secret life of art. Functioning as a kind of one-woman CSI unit, she has photographed pictures and objects in collectors' homes, in galleries, on the walls of auction houses, and off the walls, in museum storage.

Jerry Saltz

I think that New York is not the cultural centre of America, but the business and administrative centre of American culture.

Saul Bellow

When one experiences truth, the madness of finding fault with others disappears.

S.N. Goenka

Men's evil manners live in brass; their virtue we write in water.

William Shakespeare

There are numerous cases of that, where one of our writers discovers another writer whom he likes, and we then take that book on. So it's a very close relationship. We can do that because we're so small.

James Laughlin

All due respect and trying to be as modest as I can be, I am a dancer. But I don't think I would be on 'Dancing with the Stars,' mainly because I would be too shy.

Al Pacino
