I think now I’ll probably take a few days off and enjoy the competition and then sit down with a few people and work out what is next, work out what the next preparation will be and what competition will be next. – Ian Thorpe
I believe that the majority of Egyptian people know who is Hosni Mubarak and it pains me what has been expressed by some people from my own country. – Hosni Mubarak
Commercial movies have no feeling, no sensitivity. Most people tell me people won’t understand films with feeling. But everyone can feel. – John Cassavetes
I tend not to trust people who live in very tidy houses. I know that on the surface there is nothing wrong with a person being well-ordered and disciplined. Nothing, except that it leaves the impression of that person having lived in the confines of a stark institution which, although he or she has long since left, remains within. – Jack Dee
The vampire underworld is much larger than most people could imagine. It exists in all the cities mentioned in the book, but also in many, many more. Teenagers, especially, seem to like to act out vampire fantasies. – James Patterson
As much as I am one for real human interaction, I also want to make a show that’s entertaining and that people want to see. – Jake Gyllenhaal
I always got along with Borg, who was my greatest rival. People like to see me and Connors, me and Lendl, go at it. We didn’t like each other. – John McEnroe
Being against other people’s policies eventually puts you in a downward spiral. It’s fine to be principled and oppose views that you don’t agree with, but you also have to have an alternative. – Jeb Bush
The Filipino embraces civilization and lives and thrives in every clime, in contact with every people. – Jose Rizal
The Government of the absolute majority instead of the Government of the people is but the Government of the strongest interests; and when not efficiently checked, it is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised. – John C. Calhoun
When I see people that are my age and reaching 50, the ones that are really sparkly and full of joy are the ones that are committed to something bigger than themselves. – Jacqueline Novogratz
When I was in Pulp, I actively did more TV stuff because that was during the Great Britpop Wars, and it seemed important to prove that indie people could speak. That war doesn’t exist anymore. – Jarvis Cocker
I think the most successful are the most paranoid. The first thing people do when they buy a mansion is they build the biggest wall you could possibly build around it. What happens is, now you become a target. If I go into the hood, I’m at a disadvantage. They could carry guns. I can’t. They can hit me in the face. I can’t. – Ice T
I actually enjoy being heckled; it keeps it interesting, and I think it is a nice feeling for people once they have left the show. – Johnny Vegas
Sometimes I think it’s easier to play someone who’s very, very different from yourself. Besides, I wouldn’t want to play people who are just like me; that would get awfully boring very fast! – Julia Stiles
A lot of people would be happy that they got through a long career and had a chance to play as many times in the finals. To me, I wanted to win for the franchise and for the people. And when you can’t do that, it’s devastating, particularly for someone like me. – Jerry West
We assume that good-looking people are smarter and more effective than they really are, and that homely people are the reverse. – James Surowiecki

You destroy the initiative of the working people if they don’t feel they have a fighting chance to be a part of the American Dream. – James Sinegal
There was a time when all dark-skinned people were called Ethiopians, for the Greeks referred to Africa as, ‘The Land Of The Burnt-Face People.’ – John Henrik Clarke
I always thought that the badge a cop has was more like the shield that Captain America has. It’s an obvious sign of good and something you’ll protect other people with, but it will also protect you. – Judd Nelson
For some reason, I seem to be bothered whenever I see acts of injustice and assaults on people’s civil liberties. I imagine what I write in the future will follow in that vein. Whether it’s fiction or non-fiction. – Iris Chang
It’s amazing how you meet people through other people. I knew a racecar driver, Stefan Johansson, who was very hot. He introduced me to Jean Todt. He introduced me to a French doctor. He introduced me to a French architect who redid the Louvre with I.M. Pei. He introduced me to Daniel Boulud. – James Rosenquist
A lot of powerful people in Washington may think it’s a crazy-leftist-fringe position to think the intellectual authors of a torture regime should be investigated and prosecuted. – John Cusack
I’m like a twenty-two-year-old kid in a new band trying to get noticed and break through, because the vast majority of people have never seen me play live. – John Fogerty
There are times when what you do will be mysterious to everyone… times when you have to change directions before people are ready. Just because someone does something that critics don’t like or understand doesn’t mean you’re failing as a musician. It probably means you’re growing. – Jeff Buckley
I just cannot imagine why anyone would want to be really famous. You go to a restaurant and people are pointing at you and they talk about you and they whisper and it is very disconcerting; it is a very odd feeling. – Jack Horner
