My family was entirely political, all the time, on the left. The opposite of that is not to be political on the right. It’s trying not to be – politics is not everything. There’s life other than politics. Politics intrudes. – Whit Stillman
In the initial stages of my journey, I was trying to travel too fast by horse by sticking to a ‘five days on and two off’ schedule. On the steppe, time is not measured by days, weeks or hours but the fall of the seasons and condition of the animals. – Tim Cope

I was just a kid in 1987 when I heard of the Pixies, the year after I graduated high school. But I had my band together, and my best friend at the time, Corey Hickock, who was the guitar player in the band that would become STP, Mighty Joe Young, turned me on to the Pixies. – Scott Weiland
I see so many people in the gym just slinging weight around. You can accomplish more if you squeeze the reps out in perfect form, instead of going big and trying to kill it every time. – Sean Faris
I was taught to whistle as a little girl by an undertaker. I used to sit in his workshop, watching him planing wood for the coffins, and he used to whistle all the time – and eventually I started whistling, too. I can whistle anything, particularly trumpet tunes from Classic FM. – Susan Hill
Every day, I kind of have in my brain a few slots of what I want to do. Like school, sleep, homework, ‘Rookie,’ hanging out with friends, mindless relaxation time, and then trying to do my own creative things. – Tavi Gevinson
The Church has never changed its teaching on the sanctity of human life – it didn’t make up a rule for the convenience of a particular time like a rule at a country club as the Governor would have us believe. – Wellington Mara
I’ve concentrated for a long time on English films because I’ve got two kids but my oldest son is 11 and I think I’m going to be away for about four months of year now. – Sadie Frost
That’s important, apologizing, listening, you know, I think the teens I speak with, most of them don’t feel understood. They feel like they’re being lectured to all the time. – Sean Covey

I love L.A., but I don’t live there. I spent some time there when I was recording ‘Kaleidoscope,’ mainly working with some of the artists I collaborated with. The city and people in L.A. have a great vibe and the weather is always beautiful. – Tiesto
My brain goes in just one direction. The Future. I don’t worry about the present. By the time you talk about the present, it’s gone. – Stefano Pessina
I always believe that Kar-Wai has a complete script: he just doesn’t show it to us. He wants us to experience and explore the character. He gives you a lot of space, and you know every time will be a very long journey. You just live in the character, and that’s very different from other directors. – Tony Leung Chiu-Wai
The black holes of nature are the most perfect macroscopic objects there are in the universe: the only elements in their construction are our concepts of space and time. – Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar

My head’s never really quiet. The only time I can get it to turn off is if I watch ‘CSI’ or ‘Law & Order,’ where I have to follow the crime. If I can’t turn my head off during that, I know I’ve really got a problem. – Taylor Swift
I’m always, all the time, eating chocolate. I eat pretty healthy, but then I go all out when it has to do with chocolate. – Zoey Deutch
