3 December 2020 Joey Ramone To me, John Lennon and Elvis Presley were punks, because they made music that evoked those emotions in people.
3 December 2020 Alfred Hitchcock Disney has the best casting. If he doesn’t like an actor he just tears him up.
3 December 2020 Rahm Emanuel Everybody knows they’re on the Obama team: There isn’t vice presidential vs. presidential division, there’s not a generational pull. People have internalized that this is a real moment in history.

3 December 2020 Evan Glodell I went to engineering school, which I thought was what I wanted to do, for about two weeks. We had an orientation class and we met this guy where he worked and stuff and it was cool, but I was like, ‘There is no way this is going to be my life.’
3 December 2020 Bret Easton Ellis Everyone I know who is successful has issues with their father, regardless of whether it was sports or business or entertainment.
3 December 2020 P. T. Barnum Money is in some respects life’s fire: it is a very excellent servant, but a terrible master.

3 December 2020 Joseph Gordon-Levitt Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!
3 December 2020 Cory Lidle If I don’t make the team out of spring training, I’ll keep a good attitude. I’ll just go polish up the parts of my game that made me not stay in the big leagues.
3 December 2020 Maxim Gorky A good man can be stupid and still be good. But a bad man must have brains.
3 December 2020 Harold Bloom Criticism in the universities, I’ll have to admit, has entered a phase where I am totally out of sympathy with 95% of what goes on. It’s Stalinism without Stalin.
3 December 2020 Gabriel Byrne It was either Voltaire or Charlie Sheen who said, ‘We are born alone. We live alone. We die alone. And anything in between that can give us the illusion that we’re not, we cling to.’
3 December 2020 Lucille Ball One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.
3 December 2020 Kevin Bacon I’d really like to get the girl, shoot the gun, drive the car, have fun. I even have these kind of action dreams, where I’m the action guy.

3 December 2020 Walter Bagehot Dullness in matters of government is a good sign, and not a bad one – in particular, dullness in parliamentary government is a test of its excellence, an indication of its success.
3 December 2020 Katharine Hepburn Acting is a nice childish profession – pretending you’re someone else and, at the same time, selling yourself.
3 December 2020 Sally Field I haven’t had an orthodox career, and I’ve wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn’t feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!
3 December 2020 James Lovelock This programme to stop nuclear by 2020 is just crazy. If there were a nuclear war, and humanity were wiped out, the Earth would breathe a sigh of relief.
