Most people don’t know who Ken Mehlman is. He’s the chairman of the Republican Party, obviously, but what he’s doing that Howard Dean isn’t doing is spending a lot of time on the nuts and bolts of putting the party together. – Susan Estrich
It’s quite rare for a group of people to come together for a live event that isn’t loud music. A live event that enables thinking to take place, to take place collectively. It’s unique to theatre. It’s a quality I never want to see diminished. – Tim Crouch
I want to be in a musical. I love music, and just to be able to mash the music and the acting together, it would be just incredible. – Stefanie Scott
When I was on TV in the ’80s, I wasn’t thinking, ‘There’s a 10-year-old kid watching this and in 15 years, he’s gonna be doing stuff that was influenced by me.’ I was trying to get my five minutes together. So now that those people are comedians and they’re influenced by me – it’s bizarre. – Steven Wright
And on a Canadian set, everybody is equal. You get paid the same. You live together in barracks. You have a communal kitchen. You buy and cook your own food. – Sandra Oh
From the time I got dressed in the back of a deflated, flat-tired, fish-smelling station wagon for Rocky. It’s always been do it yourself, kind of like paper-clip it together. – Sylvester Stallone
In terms of influence, my style icons have been a mixture of Julie Andrews and Olivia Newton-John. When I was little I used to watch ‘Grease,’ ‘Mary Poppins’ and ‘The Sound of Music’ a lot. If you put all those things together you do kind of get my outfits. A slightly tarty nanny in a second-hand outfit. That is pretty much what I wear. – Sophie Ellis-Bextor
I have an idea I want to test, for combining old peoples’ homes and orphanages. Old people are lonely without children, children are lonely without parents. Why not bring them together? – Zhou Xun
The history of fan fiction demonstrates how efficient, and effective, women have been at pooling together to get what they want out of their stories. It’s been a largely female-driven world. – Sherwood Smith
Money has power. And so withholding money has power too, especially when a bunch of people do it together. – Shane Claiborne
I might be like a conductor, or I collect the stuff together and I do a lot of my own writing. But what is a pleasure is the whole creative thing in which we’re all excavating and trying to find something. – Simon McBurney
Girls get competitive, as though there’s only one spot in the world for everything _ but that’s not true. We need to stick together and see there’s more to life than pleasing men. It’s important not to cut yourself off from female friendships. I think sometimes girls get scared of other girls, but you need each other. – Zooey Deschanel
We are nothing if we walk alone; we are everything when we walk together in step with other dignified feet. – Subcomandante Marcos
I have exes I’m friends with and exes I’m not friends with. It depends on what you decide together. I do think that sometimes trying to maintain that bond can be healthier than walking away. – Tyler Blackburn
I base my roots and history in old blues, old country and old bluegrass, and I like rock ‘n’ roll, and somehow it all came together, and that is what I am playing now. – Tyler Hilton
The calls that I have received from President Bush and Vice President Cheney, the fact that there are other people that are suffering every bit as much as I am, and that our whole nation is going through a tragedy together, I think we have to think about those things. – Ted Olson
I went to a school in N.Y. that is conceptual and interdisciplinary and modeled after Cal Arts. It is not just painting or sculpture; it was everything mixed together. – Thomas McDonell
I felt like I could take the responsibility and make the Nas movement bigger and not keep it confined to the Tri-State area, so to speak. He allowed me to do that. When we were together, we made a lot of noise, and I made him an international star. – Steve Stoute
Millions around the world increasingly see America not as a model of democracy but as relying solely on brute force, cobbling coalitions together under the slogan, ‘You’re either with us or against us.’ – Vladimir Putin
When I put together a graphic novel, I don’t think about literary prose. I think about storytelling. – Ted Rall
I love the percussion. It’s a right brain, left brain thing. There are different beats, but cooperating together. It’s your whole body doing it, you’re doing the snare drum and the high top with your hands and the bass drum with your foot. You’re this whole motion machine. – Shalom Harlow
I’m attracted to stories that deal with the family and what it’s like to be a member of that family, whether it’s together or apart, given the pressures that are put on it by the outside world. – Stanley R. Jaffe
