There’s a lot of stuff they don’t teach you in the mythical editors’ school. They don’t teach you that you’re going to have to spend a lot of your life in crisis management. – Bill Keller
In a recession, people want to be told for two hours that everything is going to be OK. They want to escape from their humdrum or painful reality into a feel-good drama, or a love story that transcends their daily life. – Alison Owen
Due to the injuries that I will have for the rest of my life, it is physically impossible for me to consider any career in wrestling. – Brian Bosworth
I’ve never had a job in my life that I was better than. I was always just lucky to have a job. And every job I had was a steppingstone to my next job, and I never quit my job until I had my next job. – Ashton Kutcher
My normal life is, I love to travel and I travel as often as I can. I don’t stay in one place too long. But I’m an avid reader; I guess you could say I’m a bit of a bookworm. – Alexa Davalos
I wish that I did the things that I really believe in, because when I do, my life goes much smoother. – Cher
Actors sometimes immerse themselves into it so deeply that the line between who they are and their character can become blurred.

Anytime you want to hear about graph partitioning, I will be glad to tell you what I know about graph partitioning. It remains a standard problem. I think it’s an interesting problem, because it shows up in a variety of guises in real life. – Brian Kernighan
I’ve usually found that the greatest rewards in my life come from taking on things that are a little bit scary. – Ashton Kutcher
I can’t help but recall my dad and mom. Depression era kids, 8th and 9th grade educations, clawed and scratched to make a living as dairy farmers their whole life. At least two drought cycles nearly took it all away. They just worked harder, longer… and they made it. – Bob Beauprez
I can’t really say how big the cult is. But I’m proud of it. I’m proud that it has a life. – Bob Odenkirk
I auditioned in Chicago for Juilliard and didn’t get in. I was basically living in a back room of my parents’ house, paying rent and not doing anything with my life. I’d like to say it was patriotic to join the Marines, but it was also that I was doing nothing honorable with my life and spending too much time at McDonald’s. – Adam Driver
My son has been the best thing that has happened in my life. He has been amazing, and he is truly heaven-sent. And so, I just feel all that love. – Ciara
You can live your life being scared of losing someone, and at the end of the day, if he is going to leave you, he’ll leave you, and that’s it. – Ali Hewson
There is a psychic gulf that exists between myself and my grandparents because they don’t really speak English, and I don’t speak Chinese, and that’s my own personal shame because I did not learn, ever. I only saw my paternal grandma a few times in my life, and that’s really crazy. – Alan Yang
If your goal is to be the biggest movie star in the world, a 10-movie contract is gold. It was never my goal. Up until now, I made movies – and I have a nice house, a nice car. I’m fortunate, happy and grateful. Life is good. – Chris Evans
I have a strong belief that there is a god or a higher power. I think that if you have a strong belief in that, then you won’t feel alone in life and you will feel you can get through anything. – Alana Stewart
The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools. – Confucius
Once I discovered how important writing music was to me and just what a huge weight it lifted off of me, I knew that it was going to be the biggest part of my life, the biggest love of my life, the biggest thing in my life. – Banks
On our show, I must tell you, it was… the 60s was a period of time when everything was free love. People made love to each other. It was a very open life, you know? – Burt Ward
Being on the road, I think, is the most organised part of my life. You know where you have to be every day; you know what your job is every day. I crave that tiny bit of stability, which anyone else would think is the most unstable way of living, ever. – Alison Mosshart
When women reassert their relationship with the wildish nature, they are gifted with a permanent and internal watcher, a knower, a visionary, an oracle, an inspiratrice, an intuitive, a maker, a creator, an inventor, and a listener who guide, suggest, and urge vibrant life in the inner and outer world. – Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Life is hard. It is not too short, it is too long. But you have to learn how to live; you have to have a sense of humour. – Carolina Herrera
Our public life withers when only the most extreme voices get attention. Most of all, democracy breaks down when the average person feels their voice doesn’t matter; that the system is rigged in favor of the rich or the powerful or some narrow interest. – Barack Obama
It’s a manic-depressive life. You run in here, you open your incubator, your experiment makes no sense, you think, ‘I hate this job.’ Then ten minutes later you think, ‘Well, now, maybe I’ll try this or I’ll try that.’ You do it because you know there will be an ‘a-ha!’ day. – Bonnie Bassler
I did three of the original ‘Twilight Zone’ episodes, yes. Also, I did a little thing in the feature film, and then I wrote one of the episodes in ‘The Twilight Zone’s last round where I starred with Cloris Leachman and my daughter Liliana in a true sequel to ‘It’s a Good Life.’ So, yes, I have a good ‘Twilight Zone’ alumni jacket. – Bill Mumy
I can’t stay friends with anyone who doesn’t have a passion for something; and, generally speaking, artistic people, creative people carry it right into the kitchen, too. They have a zest for life; the excitement of living. All of the great eaters I’ve known are also men of great wit. – Alan King
