3 December 2020 Trevor Nunn The first big break was winning a scholarship to go to Cambridge University. I was very lucky, because my parents couldn’t have afforded a university education for me. Without a scholarship I couldn’t possibly have gone.
3 December 2020 Imelda Marcos I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.
3 December 2020 Adrien Brody I was a wild, mischievous kid, and I had tremendous imagination. Any experience I had, I’d try to reenact it.

3 December 2020 Naomi Watts There was a time I was very much blaming the way I felt on L.A, that it was a vacuum of creativity, of humor or anything organic, and I was really angry at the place. But then today I feel completely different – I love L.A.!
3 December 2020 William Shatner Marriage is a reflection of your life in general: how you treat people, how you argue, how secure you are in your own thoughts. How vehemently do you argue your point of view? With what disdain do you view the other’s point of view?
3 December 2020 Anne M. Mulcahy My dad was an editor and a writer, and that’s actually what I aspired to be.
3 December 2020 Jack Welch Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while.
3 December 2020 Robin Quivers I’m nutty for nutrition. I’ve become one of those people who can’t stop talking about the connection between food and health. Now that I know how much changing what you eat can transform your life, I can’t stop proselytizing.
3 December 2020 Steve Martin Everything is fraught with danger. I love technology and I love science. It’s just always all in the way you use it. So there’s no – you can’t really blame anything on the technology. It’s just the way people use it, and it always has been.
3 December 2020 Dean Kamen Everybody has to be able to participate in a future that they want to live for. That’s what technology can do.

3 December 2020 Sean Astin I was about 14, and my friend’s stepdad asked me to do a 10K with him because his son – who was more into basketball – didn’t want to. It was amazing, and I still remember the time I got: 48:23.

3 December 2020 Jennifer Hudson My grandmother always taught me, ‘If you don’t have a home, family, and church, you don’t have anything.’
3 December 2020 Susan Wojcicki I have tried to be a leader. I have tried in my role of being one of the first women at Google, let alone the first woman to have a baby, to really try to set the tone that this is a great place to work for diversity reasons.
3 December 2020 Hank Haney I know I was a great friend to Tiger Woods. But when you have a relationship that’s involves business and friendship – and the business part comes to an end – things always get a little blurry.
3 December 2020 Joichi Ito I agree that it is not just the extremists who harbor bad thoughts or engage in bad acts, but they are usually the source of the polarization and try to keep education and communication of the main stream from moving forward.
3 December 2020 Leopold Von Ranke You have reckoned that history ought to judge the past and to instruct the contemporary world as to the future. The present attempt does not yield to that high office. It will merely tell how it really was.
3 December 2020 Suzanne Fields The death of Pope John Paul II led many of different faiths and of no faith to acknowledge their debt to the Roman Catholic Church for holding on to absolutes that the rest of us can measure ourselves against.
3 December 2020 Will Durant Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice.
