Deborah Turbeville -

What I don't like so much is to give explanations about people's behaviour... I'm not interested in making conclusions. I would never think about myself or anyone else, 'Well, this happened, this happened, this happened, so this must be the result.' It doesn't work like that with me.
Claire Denis -
I look for people that are emitting a nice energy about them. Like, they're dancing to the house music or they have a robot puppet aura. But it's hard. People you think are going to be good end up getting really drunk and then who knows what's going to happen.

I would agree with that. But when I write lyrics, personally I don't care if the person who is listening to it understands what I'm saying or not; and I write them like that specifically. You know, I have my views; I don't feel the need to have people have the same views as me. So if they find the meaning in the songs and it's the same meaning as the one I intended then fine and dandy and if they don't, they don't.

Kym Whitley -
They're mounting a campaign right now with the ACLU and a lot of different organizations advocating for [Edward Snoden] pardoning before [Barack] Obama leaves office.

Zachary Quinto -
I'm not that girl who's really concerned with it. I've dated a bit and it's just draining to me. If it's not going to happen natural, obviously it's going to be someone in the industry because that's the only time people ever really see me.

I have seen so much obstructed potential among people who lack personal discipline, who just slough it off, whatever it is, and who think that nothing matters very much.

Not the sort of self-discipline that diminishes her own wild passions, but that makes it safer for her to own those wild passions.
Marianne Williamson
