As for the stage fright, it never goes away. When I’m waiting in the wings to go on, it’s agony every single time but I stay focused and I know that once I’m on stage it’ll be fine; I’ll be in my happy little bubble. – Britt Ekland
We’re betting, at this place and this time, we have people ready for change in the state of Maryland. – Bob Ehrlich
My parents told me I would become a doctor and then in my spare time I would become a concert pianist. So, both my day job and my spare time were sort of taken care of. – Amy Tan
The first year I was sober was probably the worst year of my life. My immune system was screwed. I completely isolated myself. I was weak all the time. I didn’t know who I was. – Corey Taylor
Everyone has a dream deep in their heart, which is a center of what they want to do. If they had all the money, and they had the time and they were guaranteed that they’d be successful, that dream is what they would love to do. – Bruce Wilkinson
When I first started, I was much weaker of a singer because I wasn’t used to singing so much. Now I’ve learned, when I’m singing on stage, not to go over. You can go over and mess yourself up. I used to do it all the time, wouldn’t know how to preserve it for the next show. – Brittany Howard
It was in Cardiff, and the cast was 60 per cent Welsh-speaking. It’s the first time I’ve walked into a rehearsal room speaking my mother tongue, which in itself was a breath of fresh clean air from the Welsh mountains. Singing Hans Sachs is always a milestone, but I was happy to be part of such an achievement, not personally but as a company. – Bryn Terfel
Every time I create a character, I don’t assume they speak like I do, even if they’re Australian. – Cate Blanchett
For the first time, we have the genetic sequences of all three of the players in the global malaria debacle: the parasite, the anopheles mosquito and the human. It’s a very important milestone. – Anthony Fauci
I spend way too much time watching television, going to sports games, going to movies. It struck me that there’s an awful lot of data in the public domain for these sectors. The movie industry publishes weekly sales numbers – not many industries do. – Anita Elberse
‘Words and Music’ on Radio 3 is always a treat. Actors read passages of poetry and prose interspersed with music, and nobody tells you what it is. Later you can look it up online, but at the time you can’t cheat. – Claire Tomalin
We have no desire to permanently rule over millions of Palestinians, who double their numbers every generation. Israel, which wishes to be an exemplary democracy, will not be able to bear such a reality over time. The Disengagement Plan presents the possibility of opening a gate to a different reality. – Ariel Sharon
I only intended to be married one time. But marriages are made; they don’t just happen. It takes two. – Betty Wright
When I left the show, the fans were so amazing in terms of the outpouring of support and continued support all that time whatever ways they could be in touch with me. – Alice Barrett
I come from a time when people like Bob Newhart and Bill Cosby told stories that were devastatingly funny without being off-color. – Bill Engvall
It’s really important we stay in touch with our customers and try to, over time, have more packages and flexibility than perhaps we have historically offered. And that’s part of that tension that is healthy that is going on in the marketplace. – Brian L. Roberts
If we are going to have to worry all the time that we might offend some students’ sensibilities, we are not going to be able to teach in a way that actually matters. We’re not going to be able to teach about sex, gender, race, religion, or violence. – Alice Dreger
It makes me feel guilty that anybody should have such a good time doing what they are supposed to do. – Charles Eames
At this present time, matter is still the best way to think of architecture, but I’m not so sure for very long. The computer is radicalizing the way we think about our world. – Ben Nicholson
We started playing the Baltimore Colts early, and I was still very impressed with Johnny Unitas, who just passed away recently. I thought he was one of the best quarterbacks at the time when I was very young, he was in his prime. – Bob Lilly
Even in relationships, I don’t get my hopes up or anything, especially not right now because I know I’m young and I’ve got plenty of time later in the future. – Christina Milian
Every time I learn a new thing to do on my computer, I have to write it down so that I can remember it. – Betty Parsons
For a long time, we’ve worked on detecting planets with whatever was at hand, making use of existing small telescopes or even amateur telescopes. It’s time to move on to the next stage. – Andrew Gould
One of the reasons I didn’t really want to do TV earlier in my career was because it is so life-consuming, and I wanted to spend time with my kids and be a mother. – Andie MacDowell
Working with the children on ‘Matilda’ has been a joy. They don’t do this professionally – their sense of discovery is instinctive, and the challenge for us adults is to keep that going in ourselves when we’re doing it for the fiftieth or the hundredth time. To my delight and amazement, it hasn’t gone stale – we discover it freshly every time. – Bertie Carvel
I flow between modern and traditional jazz, between samba and choro – all maybe in a week’s time. – Anat Cohen
