Everyone tries to define this thing called Character. It’s not hard. Character is doing what’s right when nobody’s looking. – J. C. Watts
There are many things I’m looking forward to in 2013, both personally and professionally. Plans for new restaurants in the U.S., including Eataly Chicago, are underway, and I’m gearing up for the 2013 Ironman world championships in Hawaii – if I’m lucky enough to get a spot! – Joe Bastianich
I would do anything to keep looking the job. I think you make an extra effort if you’re on show. – Joanna Lumley
There are some good people. But a good chunk of them will lie for no reason at all – it’ll be ten o’clock and they’ll tell you it’s nine. You’re looking at the clock and you can’t even fathom why they’re lying. They just lie because that’s what they do. – John Cusack
Sometimes I do feel like I write the same story again and again. And for me, I am always looking for a place with a kind of redemption. – Jill McCorkle
Behaving like a princess is work. It’s not just about looking beautiful or wearing a crown. It’s more about how you are inside. – Julie Andrews
I don’t think I’ll get married again. I’m not looking for it. What I can say about my divorce and my failed engagement is that I learned where my bar is. – Jill Scott
I’m looking forward to the intensity of football and how the people live football in Liverpool. It’s a special club. – Jurgen Klopp
Biologically inspired materials could revolutionize materials science. People looking at spider silk and abalone shells are looking for new ways to make materials better, cheaper, and with less toxic byproducts. – Janine Benyus
Here’s the point – you’re looking at affirmative action, and you’re looking at marijuana. You legalize marijuana, no need for quotas, because really, who’s gonna wanna work? – Jon Stewart

We look for the scrappy entrepreneur: the kind of person who will get things done without looking to spend money right away. – Jon Oringer
I don’t feel I write fast. I write in longhand and do so much revision. On the page, it’s so old-fashioned. I could write a whole novel on scrap paper, scribbles and things. I keep looking at it and something develops. For me, using a word processor would mean staring at a screen for too many hours. – Joyce Carol Oates
To any young person starting out on life and looking to make a quick fortune, I have this advice: forget banking, but go instead into security, scaffolding, or urban trench digging. Not in a hands-on way. I mean start a company. – Howard Jacobson

If we now find ourselves looking down on the cheap and convenient, it is only because we now have better things which are affordable. – Julian Baggini
You get a chance like that maybe once in your lifetime, and you are lucky to sustain it over that period of time. It doesn’t mean to say that whatever I do in the future has no substance to it – I may present some new material I’ve got, and there are definitely new angles of doing it – but I’m not looking to recreate another Led Zeppelin. – Jimmy Page
In high school, I used to teach guitar and fix computers by the hour. I was looking for some way to make some cash, so I actually learned how to play guitar in order to try to teach it. – Jon Oringer
With plastic surgery, the general anesthetic is like a black-velvety sleep, and that’s what death is – without waking up to someone clapping and going, ‘Joan, wake up, it’s all over and you’re looking pretty’. – Joan Rivers
