I've never had my brows done - I tweeze them myself. I used to watch my mom pluck her brows, that's how I learned.

Boxing is smoky halls and kidneys battered until they bleed.

Roger Kahn

It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.

Eleanor Roosevelt

I don't know what my label is. I just think of myself as a plain forward. I like to think I have some finesse to my game, but inside the paint is where men are made. If you can't play there, you should be home with your mama.

Karl Malone

I'm often asked if I regret not going to Hollywood. I'm glad I didn't go, because if I had I wouldn't have my extended family, which is the fabric of my life. Only recently have I realised how special and unusual it is.

Francesca Annis

Q. You do not consider your statement a disloyal one? A. No, sir. Scientific truth is beyond loyalty and disloyalty. Q. You are sure that your statement represents scientific truth? A. I am.

Isaac Asimov

As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting -- the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.

Saul Bellow

My mother never breast fed me. She told me that she only liked me as a friend.

Rodney Dangerfield

I always thought of myself as a moderate liberal, a fighter for peace and justice. I never thought of myself as being all that far out.

George McGovern

Even those who, like me, believe that Roe v. Wade and the decisions elaborating on reproductive rights were constitutionally correct must recognize that, for many on the right, the sudden and relatively sloppily reasoned character of the abortion rulings... did real damage to the Court's reputation as a relatively neutral arbiter of legal disputes.

Laurence Tribe

The waking mind is the least serviceable in the arts.

Henry Miller

It is absolutely essential that one should be neutral and not fall in love with the hypothesis.

David Douglass

'Eyes Wide Open' took shape from two real life events straight from my own past. One was the sad suicide of my young nephew, a troubled kid, who was found at the bottom of a landmark cliff in central California. The second was a chance encounter forty years ago with none other than, ahem, Charles Manson!
