Sometimes you have to do the work and hope the career materializes.

Once a food becomes off-limits, then it takes on this whole other personality. 'Forbidden' is more tempting. And it becomes something evil, but food is food. It's there to nourish your body.

Valerie Bertinelli

It is claimed, but with what truth we cannot say, that there is a well-defined propaganda among the aliens of colour to bring about the degeneration of the white race.

Emily Murphy

The married thing. Sometimes I look at it and feel like someone from a Dickens novel, standing outside in the cold and staring in at Christmas dinner. Relationships hadn't ever really worked for me. I think it's had something to do with all the demons, ghosts, and human sacrifice.

Jim Butcher

When a guy tells me I'm cute, it's not something desirable. Cute is more like what you want your pet to be.

Natalie Portman

For every quarrel a man and wife have before others, they have a hundred when alone.

E. W. Howe

The chemistry of dissatisfaction is as the chemistry of some marvelously potent tar. In it are the building stones of explosives, stimulants, poisons, opiates, perfumes and stenches.

Eric Hoffer

My health is fine.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.

Anson Mount

It's sad, actually, because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age.

Amanda Seyfried

Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.

Ray Bradbury

Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.

Rosaleen Dickson

Prose, words in their best order. Poetry, the best words in the best order.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
