I started making houses for ants because I thought they needed somewhere to live. Then I made them shoes and hats. It was a fantasy world I escaped to where my dyslexia didn’t hold me back and my teachers couldn’t criticize me. That’s how my career as a micro-sculptor began. – Willard Wigan

I don’t force myself to exercise; I find going to gyms really boring. I find it easier to go for a fast walk or a jog in Central Park. I wear sensible shoes because my ballet dancing left me with a bunion on one foot after all the pointe exercises. – Sarah Brightman
You can’t tell stories and really walk in someone’s shoes and not have a love for them, even if they’re doing horrible things. – Shonda Rhimes

Fashion nowadays is all about product – bags and shoes – and you’re kind of a product yourself, aren’t you? – Victoria Beckham

Most of us cluster somewhere in the middle of most statistical distributions. But there are lots of bell curves, and pretty much everyone is on a tail of at least one of them.
