My ex-wife, she really didn’t like the material that I did. And that’s something I regret, that I wasn’t more careful about making sure that she was O.K. with it. I just sort of didn’t ask. So that’s how that goes. – Louis C. K.
One of the main rules with my mom was if I broke a club, she was going to take it and I wouldn’t get it back. So I made sure I kept all my clubs. – Rickie Fowler
The belief is growing on me that the disease is communicated by the bite of the mosquito… She always injects a small quantity of fluid with her bite – what if the parasites get into the system in this manner. – Ronald Ross
Soledad Barrio is clearly a master – of thrilling steps and passionate movement. She stalks, she circles, she struts, she snaps her head – her feet drill the stage. – Robert Gottlieb
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is just perfect in ‘Veep.’ She gets to show off the spiky claws beneath her patrician finesse. The obvious way to play ‘Veep’ would be to make Louis-Dreyfus a folksy heroine, one with more common sense or populist heart than her enemies. But she isn’t one. – Rob Sheffield
Myra Breckenridge is the antithesis of sex symbol. She’s revolutionary; she’s a warrior. – Raquel Welch
A real woman is someone who knows what she wants. If you want to stay home, that’s fine, but you have to be clear-eyed. – Ruth Reichl
They said they wanted a lot of feathers, glitter, colourful colours. A costume. So I had a lady here in Calgary make it. She just kind of put together what I had in mind. – Owen Hart
My wife, she was an early-adopter to Trump and a supporter of Trump – earlier than me, by far. – Ryan Zinke
One of the billions of things I love about Beyonce: The harder she tries to come on crazy, the less crazy she sounds. – Rob Sheffield
I think people tuned in a lot to see Barbara when she first came here and they just didn’t like the show they saw. I think it was dull. It was sterile. – Roone Arledge
When I told my mom I was going to audition for ‘The Hobbit,’ she said, ‘Well, you’ve always loved Tolkien.’ And she was right. – Richard C. Armitage
I hate it when something is set in 1967 and every piece of furniture was made in 1967. No! If it’s set in 1967, people have furniture given to them by their grandmother, which she bought in 1932! – Peter Mullan
I really want to work with Tom Hardy. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe are also on my list. Those are my top three actors. As far as actresses go, Kate Beckinsale, because she’s so smokin’ hot. – Ryan Guzman
I was bullied by a freshman named Jeanine. She was black and supremely racist. Jeanine used to say, ‘Brownie, go back to your country. You smell of curry,’ or ‘Do you smell curry coming?’ – Priyanka Chopra
Joan Cusack is one of my favorite comedic actresses, and every part she plays is so different. She does the wackiest stuff and somehow it works. I like watching her a lot, and I think you can always go further and pull back. That’s something I really have to work on. – Rachel McAdams
There’s kind of a toll you have to pay with a cat; if you don’t pet her for 10 minutes she’ll bother you for six hours. – Scott Adams
There isn’t really anybody who occupies the lens to the extent that Lindsay Lohan does. Something happens when she steps in front of the camera. There is this magnetic energy. – Richard Phillips
I admire Madonna because she always did whatever she felt like doing. She went through some controversial periods when people rejected her, but she kept on reinventing herself. – Shakira
Things began to pick up for me record-wise when in 1971 I wrote ‘She’s a Lady’ for Tom Jones. – Paul Anka
Because of the womb being a central phenomenon in the feminine body, the whole psychology of woman differs: she is non-aggressive, non-inquiring, non-questioning, non-doubting, because all of those things are part of aggression. She will not take the initiative; she simply waits – and she can wait infinitely. – Osho
You can be interested in a Jane Smiley novel whether or not anyone says a word. She enters into her characters’ thoughts with great understanding and depth. – Richard Russo
In Israel, if a person doesn’t agree with you, she just says no. In Alabama, someone would say, ‘I’ll think about it.’ We would take that literally. So, if you ask for a favor and someone says they’ll think about it, they’re really not thinking about it. – Odeya Rush
They offered me that film before I did Frida and I said, no, I’m not capable of directing. Then after seeing Julie direct, I was inspired by it. She motivated me to do it, because we don’t have role models as woman for directors. – Salma Hayek
