Being the lead of the show and working a lot of hours - all good stuff, a tremendous education, incredible opportunity, it changed my life - it was a marathon, and by the end of it I was pretty beat.

An executive is a man who decides; sometimes he decides right, but always he decides.

John H. Patterson

Henry David Thoreau

T. Boone Pickens

Loved. You can't use it in the past tense. Death does not stop that love at all.

Ken Kesey

My first love is art, and I see a lot of things in an artistic way.

Robert Carlyle

A friend is what the heart needs all the time.

Henry Van Dyke

There cannot be peaceful coexistence in the ideological realm. Peaceful coexistence corrupts.

Jiang Qing

I never could keep a promise. I do not blame myself for this weakness, because the fault must lie in my physical organization. It is likely that such a very liberal amount of space was given to the organ which enables me to make promises that the organ which should enable me to keep them was crowded out. But I grieve not. I like no half-way things. I had rather have one faculty nobly developed than two faculties of mere ordinary capacity.http://www.twainquotes.com/Promises.html

Nancy Simms
