My aunt is a newscaster in Lubbock, Texas, and she got a letter that said, ‘Natalie Maines will be shot dead at their show in Dallas, Texas,’ with the date of our concert. It was freaky to see that in writing. – Natalie Maines
In the story of Thetis and Achilles, it’s clear this isn’t really a safe environment. She’s gone down to the River Styx – the dead are being ferried across in the background. There’s something in this mythology that says that if you want invulnerability, if you want immortality, you pay a price. – Eula Biss
Especially in the Dixie Chicks, everyone wants you to play a role. Natalie was the feisty one. Martie was the nice one ’cause she smiles all the time onstage, and I was the quiet one. – Emily Robison
If I had a time machine I would go back 30 years and show up at my grandmother’s apartment before the gargantuan meals she would serve and I would help her. – Mo Rocca
That little Miley Cyrus… she’s like a little Elvis. The kids love her because she’s Hannah Montana, but what people don’t realize about her is she is such a fantastic singer and songwriter. She writes songs like she’s 40 years old! – Dolly Parton
The more I learn and read about the 10th Muse i realize what a great fan base and cult following she has. I’m going to try to live up to the fantastic image of the 10th Muse! – Cindy Margolis
‘The Comeback’ is my favorite TV show of all-time because it’s just brill. It’s Lisa Kudrow’s show about what it’s like to be an actor on a TV show. She’s so amazing on it. – Gillian Jacobs

I can think of no other writer who so thoroughly embodies the Jamesian spirit as Alison Lurie. Like him she can excavate all the possibilities of a theme. Like his, her books seem long, unbroken threads, seamless progressions of effects. – Edmund White
There was something to me that was really compelling about that woman, already knowing she couldn’t get pregnant. When I made that movie I was maybe 24, and to be 24 and already know you can’t get pregnant, that was really interesting to me. – Maggie Gyllenhaal
My sister really drooled a lot when she was younger. For her wedding, I was going to get her one of those lace drool cups that go around the ears. – Cheri Oteri

I won’t eat veal, and my mum won’t eat lamb, because she thinks it’s a bit harsh to eat cute things. – Nicholas Hoult
