3 December 2020 Kate Beckinsale I think what’s dangerous about being an actor who does action movies is you think, ‘Well, I can totally handle myself now.’ But if my opponent didn’t know the other half of the routine, I don’t know how well I’d do.

3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore My therapist says I still haven’t got in touch with my anger. Maybe one day I’m going to explode. But I’m still really happy. I know it looks like a strange and painful upbringing – all those experiences led me to the paths that I’m on now.
3 December 2020 Carroll Shelby I’m not going to take this defeatist attitude and listen to all this crap any more from all these people who have nothing except doomsday to predict.

3 December 2020 Peter Lewis Allen Was this an old disease, and, if so, which one? If it was new, what did that say about the state of medical knowledge? And in any case, how could physicians make sense of it?
3 December 2020 Max Muller A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.

3 December 2020 Anne Boleyn O Death, rock me asleep, bring me to quiet rest, let pass my weary guiltless ghost out of my careful breast.

3 December 2020 Nicole Kidman You can ask me pretty much anything. There’ll be things I’ll go, ‘That feels a little too personal.’ But most things I don’t have a fear of being asked about.
3 December 2020 Paula Cole If not for music, I would probably be a very frustrated scientist. It’s one way to answer the question, ‘What is the meaning of life?’ I feel music answers it better.
