Steve Allen

I never really look for anything. What God throws my way comes. I wake up in the morning and whichever way God turns my feet, I go.

Pearl Bailey

The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced -- by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.

Erich Fromm

I'm so unprofessional on set it's not even funny.

Katharine McPhee

I love to read aloud.

Blaise Pascal

Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain, so much beauty of raw emotion and passion.

Christina Aguilera

He isn't insane, he's simply as trapped in his life as I am in mine. That makes us friends.

Orson Scott Card

I never met a word I didn't love
