3 December 2020 Andy Warhol I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of ‘work,’ because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don’t always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.
3 December 2020 Stephenie Meyer I’ve seen little pieces of ‘Interview with a Vampire’ when it was on TV, but I kind of always go yuck! I don’t watch R-rated movies, so that really cuts down on a lot of the horror.
3 December 2020 Emma Goldman To the indefinite, uncertain mind of the American radical the most contradictory ideas and methods are possible. The result is a sad chaos in the radical movement, a sort of intellectual hash, which has neither taste nor character.
3 December 2020 Adam Smith The real and effectual discipline which is exercised over a workman is that of his customers. It is the fear of losing their employment which restrains his frauds and corrects his negligence.
3 December 2020 Leif Garrett I’ve come to understand that there’s always something positive, even in a negative situation.

3 December 2020 Tony Parsons My principal motivation is supporting my family, which is not a bad reason for getting up in the morning. That’s always been my motivation – to take care of the people who rely on me.
3 December 2020 Elizabeth George I’m interested in the dark side of man. I’m interested in taboos, and murder is the greatest taboo. Characters are fascinating in their extremity, not in their happiness.

3 December 2020 Joaquin Phoenix There are kids who get on a BMX bike when they’re eight years old and they go, ‘Whoa, this is incredible,’ and grow up to do extreme sports. It’s the same for me with acting.
3 December 2020 Andy Roddick Well, immediately we announced yesterday or the day before we’re building, with my foundation, a youth tennis and learning center in Austin. I’d like to be hands on with that and not see it periodically.
3 December 2020 David Ricardo After all the fertile land in the immediate neighbourhood of the first settlers were cultivated, if capital and population increased, more food would be required, and it could only be procured from land not so advantageously situated.
3 December 2020 James Purefoy Violence is a very ugly thing. Violence is often so casual on film, and made to look so cool and so sexy, but violence is a repulsive, repugnant act that human beings inflict on each other. It shouldn’t seem to be cool and sexy, ever really.
3 December 2020 Tony Snow The secret of learning to be sick is this: Illness doesn’t make you less of what you were. You are still you.
