I got really bad grades, so I’d hide my report card from my dad. My mom was in on it, too, because she knew he’d be furious. I probably would’ve gone to boot camp. Seriously. – Daren Kagasoff
I once literally had a casting director ask my agent, ‘Can she play anything other than a drunk?’ – Carla Gallo

I love ‘Annie Hall’; I will always come back to that film again and again. Diane Keaton has been such an inspiration to me. She always brings humour, but complexity, and I love watching her on screen. She’s got real charisma. – Felicity Jones
America must realize, there are conditions she must accept in Asia. The first is a diversity of Asian cultures, governments, economic and political systems; the second, that to run against the tide of Asian nationalism is worse than impractical – it is also highly dangerous. – Ferdinand Marcos
I met my wife, Margaret L. Mack, at the University of Chicago. We were married in 1936. She died in 1970. – George Stigler

My sons are a hell of a lot easier to get through to than my daughter is. She seems to have my number. She can just run through the buttons. – Don Johnson
Colleges accept the highest sub-scores from different administrations. So if a student takes the SAT many times instead of once, she has a larger pool of scores from which to pick out the highest math, critical reading, and writing. – Eliot Schrefer

Margaret Thatcher was fearful of German unification because she believed that this would bring an immediate and formidable increase of economic strength to a Germany which was already the strongest economic partner in Europe. – Douglas Hurd
