To my mind, a well-developed sense of humor is the surest indication of a person's humanity, no matter how black and bitter that humor may be. Thomas Ligotti
The best thing about being a film producer is I get to spend 99 per cent of my time behind the scenes. Kevin Feige
Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy. Marilyn Monroe, because she was a curvy woman. I'm drawn to things that have the same kind of silhouettes as what she wore because our bodies are similar. Beyonce Knowles
If you bring a child into this world, whether it's planned or an accident, you'd better make sure you can care for it. You have to be around. You make time. It's as simple as that. Julian Lennon
I have stayed in lots of great hotels around the world, and the Plaza Athenee is definitely one of my favourites. Tom Parker Bowles
Coach Morris wasn't too hard on me, not at all. Being drafted where I was at, there were high expectations for me. I still have high expectations for myself. Gaines Adams
I like rock music because it's always sonically fascinating. There's never a method to what it needs to sound like. It's just however that instrument comes out that day, whatever the humidity level was in the air, what studio you were at. All that makes that tone that you can't re-create, so each song is like a person. B.o.B
Acting is all about creative ideas and sharing, so the more places those ideas come from, the better. George MacKay
L.A. is such a big city, and there's so much going on. I mean, you know you're in L.A. when you can just hear sirens all the time. Cassie Steele

I'm not necessarily proud of the World Cups and the grand slams won or lost, the amount of points I scored, this record or that. Jonny Wilkinson
I love cooking, and I can make real good rajma chawal. It is a time consuming process and only for the consumption of a select few very special people. Also, I can make delicious mutton biryani, but I must confess I have stolen the recipe from my mother. Nimrat Kaur

The Second Green Revolution, as the world's population grows to over 9 billion by 2050, is the new revolution we have to have to lift food production by another 75 percent. Anthony Pratt
Finding animals that make light in the ocean is easy. Just drag a net through the water anywhere in the upper 3000 feet, and as many as 80-90% of the animals you catch can make light. The biomimetic lure that I developed imitates one of these - a common deep sea jellyfish called Atolla. Edith Widder
Maybe everyone lives forever. Or maybe, like in the animated movie 'Coco,' only those whose stories get told by the living definitely do. It takes a story worth telling. Andy Dunn
They should have a rule: in order to be a sportswriter, you have to have played that sport, at some level; high school, college, junior college, somewhere. Or, you should have had to have been around the game for a long time. Oscar Robertson
When the women's movement started in the 1960s, there was a vision of a future where women didn't wear makeup or worry about how their hair looked, and everybody wore sensible, comfortable clothes. It ran into an absolute brick wall. Gail Collins
If you'd come to me in 2012, when the last presidential election was raging and we were cooking up ever more complicated ways to monetize Facebook data, and told me that Russian agents in the Kremlin's employ would be buying Facebook ads to subvert American democracy, I'd have asked where your tin-foil hat was. Antonio Garcia Martinez
The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money. Gaby Hoffmann
People don't value strongly enough how much time they spend in the office. Imagine you could work with people you love - wouldn't work be great and staff turnover be lower? And your productivity higher? Howard Lutnick
