I love poking fun at myself. I have a rather mean sense of humor.

The worst thing that could possibly happen to anybody would be to not be used for anything by anybody. Thank you for using me, even though I didn't want to be used by anybody.

Kurt Vonnegut

I'm not scared of anything in particular, but I am motivated by a fear of failure as opposed to a need to succeed.

Heston Blumenthal

I am responsible for everything except for my very responsibility, for I am not the foundation of my being. Therefore everything takes place as if I were compelled to be responsible. I am abandoned in the world... in the sense that I find myself suddenly alone and without help, engaged in a world for which I bear the whole responsibility without being able, whatever I do, to tear myself away from this responsibility for an instant.

JeanPaul Sartre

Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.

Jackson Pollock

Solomon Ortiz

Love isn't always a physical emotion. Sometimes it's the ones who never got to actually hold you in their arms that appreciate you for who you are

Sarah Sprague

We cannot rest until we make sure that our families can afford to live and raise their kids here, that our seniors can remain in their homes and afford their health and pharmaceutical costs.

Carl Lewis

The atmosphere seems to change once the sun goes down and the race fans get to watch a good show.

Dale Earnhardt

If you have a government that is elected, they need to do the hard work - because if they don't, they won't be around the next time the ballot box is open.

King Abdullah II

The worst of Bath was the number of its plain women. He did not mean to say there were not pretty women, but the number of the plain was out of all proportion. He had frequently observed, as he walked, that one handsome face would be followed by thirty, or five-and-thirty frights; and once, as he had stood in a shop on Bond street, he had counted eighty-seven women go by, without there being a tolerable face among them. ... But still, there certainly were a dreadful multitude of ugly women in Bath; and as for the men! they were infinitely worse. Such scarecrows as the streets were full of!

Jane Austen

Rafe had sat back in his chair so his face was in the shadow, but she knew he was watching her through half-closed eyes. When he leaned forward, the fire from the candles flickered, throwing shadows on the planes of his face. She could see his eyes clearly now, and their steady focus was causing her insides to stir. There was romance in the still air; the rhythm of dripping water from the fountain behind him, the velvet sky studded with stars, the balmy perfumes of the night, all combined to accompany the endless song that had begun in her heart again as she watched him, enthralled.

Hannah Fielding

Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.
