109215. I lived with them in my studio in New York. And of course if I were doing that book today or even ten years, fifteen years later, I would have gone to where the wild ducks were and where I could study them – I would have gone to the country somewhere. – Robert McCloskey

109216. It was more exciting to get that first book published, I think. – Robert McCloskey

109217. That was the – It was an exciting time because it was as though I was sort of tied up in a paper bag or in a gunny sack with a rope around the neck of it, and all of a sudden with the acceptance of that first book everything sort of spilled out! – Robert McCloskey

109218. Because its hard to realize now that that was the end of the great depression, you know. All of a sudden all of this is in front of me and I’m solvent, you know.

109263. The fact is, if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill; to end the bailouts; cut spending; and shrink the size and scope of government, the only way to do all these things it is to put someone in the White House who won’t veto any of these things. – Mitch McConnell

109264. Each of our 900 shows so far was different – maybe that’s what makes the fans come back to our gigs time and again. And that they’re always part of the show. Phish concerts are a communal experience. – Page McConnell

109265. Every piece has its own identity which we develop by the rule ‘We know no limits.’ We follow the inspiration of the moment and don’t worry if what we’re playing is alternative, progressive or fusion rock. – Page McConnell

109266. You can’t force something like that. But we have encouraged our audience, because we avoid the confrontation of regular rock concerts: us up here, you down there. Instead, we’re looking for interaction. – Page McConnell

109281. I met Cynthia when I was 12, proposed at 16, became engaged at 17, married her at 19 and we had a baby when I was 20. If extra work could pay for a lot of diapers, that was for me. – Kent McCord

109282. I’m interested in raw land and trees and fresh air and rivers and lots of animals around them. – Kent McCord

109287. I’ll admit I wanted to be a pilot, originally. – Kent McCord

109290. I answer a fan with a hearing heart first. – Kent McCord

109291. Friends, near or far, are important to us. All of ours have an awareness of other persons’ feelings, a courtesy that’s inevitable. When I find that consideration in a fan, I’m immediately impressed. – Kent McCord

109293. Cynthia and I are very alike in our tastes. – Kent McCord

109294. A policeman, as you discover, has to put up with a hell of a lot of abuse. A man in any other line of work would nail a guy who laid that kind of abuse on him. I know I would. – Kent McCord

109302. I worry about kids and all they are exposed to. Kids get so bombarded with hard, commercial sounds. They don’t even have a chance to develop the softer part of themselves without fear of being ridiculed. – Susannah McCorkle

109314. But I was ready for it and I knew I could do it. I’ve just turned 40, I have a son and I feel more settled and driven than ever. I think my 40s will be my most prolific time. It’s a very rare life you get to lead as a sitcom guy. – Eric McCormack

109316. Will isn’t a screaming queen – that’s Jack’s part. They needed someone to play the part for America. It’s just not the same as Britain. To have a gay character as a lead is risky. – Eric McCormack

109317. I have accomplished a lot, but it didn’t happen overnight for me. I was 35 when I got the show, and had been working professionally for 15 years. It would be a lot weirder if I were in my early 20s and stumbled into it. – Eric McCormack

109318. I believe that true art is universal in its appeal. – John McCormack

109320. If we know there is enough money in there for nine or ten months, we won’t worry too much. They can come back and get more-not all they want, but a large piece of it. So you always have the supplemental as a safety valve. – John William McCormack

109321. They work in secrecy. I can’t get any information. You can’t find out anything until they get out to the floor. And it’s hard to lick em at that stage. They’re a closed corporation. When they stick together, you can’t lick em on the floor. – John William McCormack

109322. We know they are doing their job in committee, that they are brilliant men, smart men, and that they are on the job all the time. We’re just human beings down here-all different. We take all these things into consideration. You can’t help it. – John William McCormack

109337. I don’t think there is a good reason for an abortion, but Dr. Jasper made me really realize it was just a racket. He was just doing it for the money. He didn’t care about the women. – Norma McCorvey

109338. I felt like they only cared about what I could do for them, not what they could do for me. – Norma McCorvey

109339. I looked at a fetal development chart at the Operation Rescue Office in Dallas. I had a lot of emotions stirring up inside of me. That’s when I decided that it was wrong in any stage of pregnancy. – Norma McCorvey

109340. I really didn’t know there was two sides to the abortion issue. – Norma McCorvey

109346. It doesn’t make any difference what religion you are, or how young you are or how old you are-if they go to these abortion mills and stand there and pray-that would make a lot of difference. – Norma McCorvey

109347. It’s not your body, it’s not your choice, because you got that from God. He gave that to you. – Norma McCorvey

109348. Patients would come in and say, Well, my baby is going to have a cleft palate. I’m going like, that’s not a reason. And the doctor would do the abortion. – Norma McCorvey

109359. Actually, my mother and Alfie came for three weeks’ Christmas vacation and stayed for 21 years. I guess my mother never went back because she was lonely. – Frank McCourt

109360. First of all there is always that artistic challenge of creating something. Or the particular experience to take slum life in that period and make something out of it in the form of a book. And then I felt some kind of responsibility to my family. – Frank McCourt

109361. Happiness is hard to recall. Its just a glow. – Frank McCourt

109362. He came to the States in 1963, I think with a view to making up with my mother, but that didn’t work. He came for three weeks, and drank his way all over Brooklyn. And went back… I went to his funeral in Belfast. – Frank McCourt

109363. I admire certain priests and nuns who go off on their own and do God’s work on their own, who help in the ghettos, but as far as the institution of the church is concerned, I think it is despicable. – Frank McCourt

109364. I can’t go too much into my domestic life because there are ex-wives ready to do me in. – Frank McCourt

109366. I had to get rid of any idea of hell or any idea of the afterlife. That’s what held me, kept me down. So now I just have nothing but contempt for the institution of the church. – Frank McCourt

109368. I’m more interested in writing than in performing. – Frank McCourt

109370. I’ve been writing in notebooks for 40 years or so. – Frank McCourt

109371. My childhood here… was very limited. So it was a long, long time before I actually went out to Brooklyn. – Frank McCourt

109372. The main thing I am interested in is my experience as a teacher. – Frank McCourt

109373. The sky is the limit. You never have the same experience twice. – Frank McCourt

109374. You feel a sense of urgency, especially at my advanced age, when you’re staring into the grave. – Frank McCourt

109375. I had no accomplishments except surviving. But that isn’t enough in the community where I came from, because everybody was doing it. So I wasn’t prepared for America, where everybody is glowing with good teeth and good clothes and food. – Frank McCourt

109376. Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die. – Malachy McCourt

109377. I started working at Hanna-Barbera in ’92 on 2 Stupid Dogs. – Craig McCracken

109378. The shows are either 11 or 22 minutes and they move pretty quickly, and that’s part of the charm of them – so it was just trying to keep that in mind and keep the energy of the story moving, even though we were dealing with a longer format. – Craig McCracken

109379. Basicly I’m in charge of all creative aspects of the show. – Craig McCracken

109380. Yes, it’s a prequel. It tells the story about how the girls were born with superpowers, but they weren’t necessarily heroes at the beginning of this movie, so the movie is about the events that happen in their life to make them decide to be heroes. – Craig McCracken

109381. Well, for one thing, the executives in charge at Cartoon Network are cartoon fans. I mean, these are people who grew up loving animation and loving cartoons, and the only difference between them and me is they don’t know how to draw. – Craig McCracken

109382. We chose the actors thru a series of auditions when we started the show. – Craig McCracken

109383. There’s a lot you can do without words. – Craig McCracken

109384. I’m always thinking about what I might want to do next, but there’s still things I want to do with Powerpuff – so I can keep going with this one for awhile. – Craig McCracken

109385. The reason they look the way they do is that the first drawing I did of them was really small so I didn’t draw fingers, nose, ears, etc and this drawing had a certain appeal that I really liked. – Craig McCracken

109386. So what I do is supervise the boarding process trying to get the shows the way I’d like them to be. And in some cases I’ve completely redone a board myself even though I’m not credited for it. – Craig McCracken

109387. One of the main things I do is focus on ideas and what stories we decide to tell, but probably the biggest part of my job I’d say is working on the storyboards. – Craig McCracken

109388. Anything you see on the screen was at one point approved by me. – Craig McCracken

109389. Basicly what I had to do was do a 7 minute board and pitch it to a room of big wigs from the network and based on that they determined if I would get a short or not. – Craig McCracken

109390. The storyboard artists job is to plan out shot for shot the whole show, write all the dialog, and decide the mood, action, jokes, pacing, etc of every scene. – Craig McCracken

109391. But to me what seems to be missing in a lot of portfolios is Cartooning. – Craig McCracken

109392. It really just gives you a sense of when you need to have dialogue and when you don’t, and if your pictures are telling the story, you don’t need to have all this talking. – Craig McCracken

109393. First, there was 2 Stupid Dogs. Then, Dexter’s Laboratory. And now, Powerpuff Girls. There were a lot of little things in between, but those were the main ones. – Craig McCracken

109394. For a long time I wanted to be a comic strip artist but when I started doing them in my teens they were getting really elaborate with tons of poses and a lot of information. – Craig McCracken

109395. I’m a geeky toy collector, and to have toys of your own characters is unbelievably cool. – Craig McCracken

109396. I’m hoping that word-of-mouth on the film – people seeing it and liking it – that that will drive more people to the theaters, because I haven’t seen the billboards or the posters or anything. – Craig McCracken

109397. I’ve been drawing since I was about 3 and I come from a family of artists. – Craig McCracken

109398. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place, and in the sky, The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard among the guns below. – John McCrae

109399. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from falling hands we throw. – John McCrae

109400. We shall not sleep, though poppies grow: In Flanders fields. – John McCrae

109401. I feel very blessed we can still have a career making music. – Mike McCready

109402. I have had Crohn’s for about 19 years. It is a debilitating disease that affects my colon. – Mike McCready

109403. It was by design that we mostly used pictures that you could not necessarily see what was going on, and that didn’t really focus in on the band, but instead focused in on a theme. – Mike McCready

109404. I love playing with Jeff. That’s something I never really say in the press, but he’s my favorite bass player. I’ve played right next to him for 10 years. – Mike McCready

109405. And watching Ed, he’s really coming into his own doing some new things onstage I’ve never seen him do. He’s really getting into it, putting 120 percent into the show. We feel comfortable and excited. – Mike McCready

109406. At some shows, the set list gets changed while we are on stage. I know Ed thinks about the set very hard throughout the day in order to make the best show possible for the fans and for us. – Mike McCready

109407. At this point, because we have stayed the same course for so many years, I feel like we are freer to make choices that are motivated by what feels right creatively at a given point in time. – Mike McCready

109408. But KISS inspired me personally to pick up a guitar and go for it. – Mike McCready

109409. I think our relationship with Epic had run its natural course, and it happened to coincide with the fulfillment of our contract. We decided not to resign with them. – Mike McCready

109410. Other bands gave us lip service, but when it came down to it they kind of backed off. That was a little disheartening. But I respect them. That’s their business. – Mike McCready

109411. There’s Eddie’s conviction and his lyrics and his ideals, and he can just rock straight out. His vocals are incredible. And we all are really competent musicians. – Mike McCready

109412. There are some people who have stayed with us our whole career, which is pretty cool too. – Mike McCready

109413. The average life spans of many bands are not that long, up to five years if they are lucky. – Mike McCready

109414. I am constantly amazed at their support over the years. – Mike McCready

109415. Some people are still not into us. That makes sense. We haven’t really done a lot of press. We haven’t put ourselves out there in ways that a lot of people would know we are still around. Unless you tour or record, they don’t know you are around. – Mike McCready

109416. My life would have been different without Paul Stanley or Ace Frehley. They would have to be the greatest on my list as an influence to my life at 11 years old. – Mike McCready

109417. My favorite rocker is Go because it is heavy and chaotic. – Mike McCready

109418. It’s extremely important to have a loyal fan base and be receptive to them. – Mike McCready

109419. It’s always push and pull with a record company. – Mike McCready

109420. I have to eat in a way that’s good for me. – Mike McCready

109421. I have lived most my life with chronic inflammation and constant pain with immediate diarrhea. – Mike McCready

109422. That’s what music has always been to me: a feel. I’ve listened to the Stones many times and it still makes me have that feeling of joy every time. They are still around and put on a really exciting show. We also give it 120 percent. – Mike McCready

109423. I’m sure those rumors are spread, but it’s just ah – we’re really good friend. We’ve been since day one in Hollywood. In class, we’ve been together in school. We’ve gotten really close, but I don’t know about the more than friends stuff. – Scotty McCreery

109424. I gotta get a truck. – Scotty McCreery

109425. I love singin’ in the car, it just makes me feel good. – Scotty McCreery

109426. I want to go to Nashville and get cracking on this album. – Scotty McCreery

109427. I’m still single, but me and Lauren are really really really close friends. – Scotty McCreery

109428. If my life were a song it would probably be titled ‘Roller Coaster’, up and down all the time. – Scotty McCreery

109429. It’s a new game now, you know, you have to bring some fresh stuff. – Scotty McCreery

109430. It’s so surreal being here. – Scotty McCreery

109431. My favorite type of music to sing is country, and my favorite type of music to listen to is country. – Scotty McCreery

109432. That’s the last thing I want to do is go on up there and mess up, you know, in front of America. – Scotty McCreery

109433. When they first said I made it through it was just crazy, I mean all kinds of thoughts were going through my head, and you know to be watching the show for nine seasons and to be on it now is surreal, it’s so surreal. – Scotty McCreery

109434. You know I used to sit there and I’d go outside and play ball and everything, but now in my free time I just kind of lay back and relax because this atmosphere is so busy and stressful, so anytime I can sleep, you’d best believe I’m sleepin’. – Scotty McCreery

109435. I was watching the show last year and it didn’t even cross my mind that this could even happen. – Scotty McCreery

109436. Reducing health costs and increasing access to health care are worthy goals that every Member of Congress should support. – Jim McCrery

109437. I live with the people I create and it has always made my essential loneliness less keen. – Carson McCullers

109438. The mind is like a richly woven tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of the senses, and the design drawn from the convolutions of the intellect. – Carson McCullers

109439. The theme is the theme of humiliation, which is the square root of sin, as opposed to the freedom from humiliation, and love, which is the square root of wonderful. – Carson McCullers

109440. There’s nothing that makes you so aware of the improvisation of human existence as a song unfinished. Or an old address book. – Carson McCullers

109441. Yeah, we’re sweet but savage, and I think a lot of Canadians are that way. – Bruce McCulloch

109442. I hate to sound like Julie the cruise director but it’s people that I think about all the time. – Bruce McCulloch

109443. L.A. Woman is amazing, but when I was growing up I was into the Who. – Bruce McCulloch

109444. Is it spoken word? Kinda, but that’s a weird area. Is it comedy? Well, it’s funny but no, it’s not comedy. – Bruce McCulloch

109445. In terms of the series, we worked separately, getting together in rehearsal to beat out the material. – Bruce McCulloch

109446. I’m just ah, actually developing a tv show for HBO, and I’m directing a film this summer, and actually I’m doing some live shows out in western Canada. – Bruce McCulloch

109447. I, sir, I just like to work. I’m humble. – Bruce McCulloch

109448. I would rather be a security guard than a rock star. – Bruce McCulloch

109449. I think you’re the grumpy Kid in the Hall, I’m the nice Kid in the Hall. – Bruce McCulloch

109450. I think you can see that in the show. Music was my touchstone. Music is still much more important to me. – Bruce McCulloch

109451. No, I don’t run all the way. I’m not like an Olympic class runner. – Bruce McCulloch

109452. I like to do little obsessed losers, or people who are in over their head, or people who are trying to figure stuff out, or guys whose girlfriends leave them and they don’t quite get it. Guys who just don’t quite get it. – Bruce McCulloch

109453. No, they’re nice guys. They wear girdles, but they’re nice guys. – Bruce McCulloch

109454. I got through college realizing business was repugnant. – Bruce McCulloch

109455. I got involved in improv comedy. It settled me down when I was getting wild. I was sort of an evil teenager smashing up my cars and drinking and driving, let’s just say, a lot. – Bruce McCulloch

109456. I don’t really like comedy. – Bruce McCulloch

109457. I don’t love comedy but I can watch someone who’s kind of interesting forever. I think a waitress who’s having a bad day is a lot more fun than Robin Williams doing forty minutes of material. – Bruce McCulloch

109458. However, we couldn’t focus on the films much during the series because we’re dumb. Individually we’re smart guys, but together we’re one big dumb guy, and couldn’t concentrate on two things at once. – Bruce McCulloch

109459. Cancer Boy probably has the saddest, noblest, sweetest heart of any character I’ve ever done. – Bruce McCulloch

109460. But we wanted to work in a way we never had, which was write everything together. We had to face each other in the same creative room, which gets tougher as you get older, because you don’t want to be confrontational. – Bruce McCulloch

109461. But after this last year and dealing with the studio, the rest of us are closer than we’ve ever been. – Bruce McCulloch

109462. I think that’s why I like baseball. There’s something great about it – you’re young, the pitcher’s young and he’s got this great arm, and he doesn’t really realize anything about strategy. – Bruce McCulloch

109463. To me, Doors fans were always the 16-year-old idiots at parties, getting stoned, and talking about how Morrison’s lyrics were like poetry… like that was a deep thought. – Bruce McCulloch

109464. We see less of Dave, certainly, and he’s kind of fallen out of the sphere of our group, mostly because he’s working on his show, and has kind of lost the fun of the party. – Bruce McCulloch

109465. You know, funny is this weird word for me. I hear is so many times it has no meaning anymore. – Bruce McCulloch

109466. Most of the people I know in bands, all they are concerned about is getting to do the next record. – Bruce McCulloch

109467. I have myself no more doubt that these metals were prepared by the Almighty for this very purpose, than I have that iron and coal were prepared for the purposes in which they are being used. – Hugh McCulloch

109468. I want to know what they look like, their height, and colouring, physique and speech pattens. – Colleen McCullough

109469. My fictitious characters will take the bit between their teeth and gallop off and do something that I hadn’t counted on. However, I always insist on dragging them back to the straight and narrow. – Colleen McCullough

109470. My husband says it is very good that I have very tiny feet, because they’re easier to get in my mouth. – Colleen McCullough

109471. Once I’ve got the first draft down on paper then I do five or six more drafts, the last two of which will be polishing drafts. The ones in between will flesh out the characters and maybe I’ll check my research. – Colleen McCullough

109472. She told fortunes for a living. It’s a wacky book and was great fun to write. It is very much a look at what life was like for women in Australia in the 1960’s. – Colleen McCullough

109473. The Labour Party of today has fits of horrors of the very thought of somebody like me might saying that they bought in white Australia. But I believe they did. – Colleen McCullough

109474. The lovely thing about being forty is that you can appreciate twenty-five-year-old men more. – Colleen McCullough

109475. There is no doubt that it is more difficult to read and more difficult to write but I still manage. – Colleen McCullough

109476. There’s a hell of a lot of horny people out there who are not being gratified in the way they should be. – Colleen McCullough

109477. It’s a dead give away of an inexperienced writer if every character speaks with the same voice. – Colleen McCullough

109478. In early draft it never satisfied me, and that was when it clicked into place and it went so well as a diary. – Colleen McCullough

109479. It’s a woman’s book but I think the men will read it too. – Colleen McCullough

109480. I think explicit love scenes are a turn off unless it’s the kind you read with one hand. – Colleen McCullough

109481. I stopped this one about two months before federation and I want the next one to be more political. It will deal with the formation of white Australian policy and things like that. – Colleen McCullough

109482. I have an editor in my head, that’s why I can’t read Harry Potter, because Rowling is such a lousy writer. – Colleen McCullough

109483. I am writing a sequel to The Touch because I want to further explore the Chinese question that I have raised. There will be more about that in a sequel. – Colleen McCullough

109484. In The Touch, the love scenes are the same as they were in The Thorn Birds or anything else I’ve ever written. I find a way of saying that either it was heaven or hell but in a way that still leaves room for the reader to use their own imagination. – Colleen McCullough

109485. History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are. – David C. McCullough

109486. A nation that forgets its past can function no better than an individual with amnesia. – David C. McCullough

109487. Real success is finding you lifework in the work that you love. – David C. McCullough

109488. To go back and read Swift and Defoe and Samuel Johnson and Smollett and Pope – all those people we had to read in college English courses – to read them now is to have one of the infinite pleasures in life. – David McCullough

109489. You can’t be a full participant in our democracy if you don’t know our history. – David McCullough

109490. With the Truman book, I wrote the entire account of his experiences in World War I before going over to Europe to follow his tracks in the war. When I got there, there was a certain satisfaction in finding I had it right – it does look like that. – David McCullough

109491. When I read that the British army had landed thirty-two thousand troops – and I had realized, not very long before, that Philadelphia only had thirty thousand people in it – it practically lifted me out of my chair. – David McCullough

109492. When I began, I thought that the way one should work was to do all the research and then write the book. – David McCullough

109493. To me history ought to be a source of pleasure. It isn’t just part of our civic responsibility. To me it’s an enlargement of the experience of being alive, just the way literature or art or music is. – David McCullough

109494. There’s an awful temptation to just keep on researching. There comes a point where you just have to stop, and start writing. – David McCullough

109495. The title always comes last. What I really work hard on is the beginning. Where do you begin? In what tone do you begin? I almost have to have a scene in my mind. – David McCullough

109496. The pull, the attraction of history, is in our human nature. What makes us tick? Why do we do what we do? How much is luck the deciding factor? – David McCullough

109497. People are so helpful. People will stop what they’re doing to show you something, to walk with you through a section of the town, or explain how a suspension bridge really works. – David McCullough

109498. No harm’s done to history by making it something someone would want to read. – David McCullough

109499. My next book is also set in the eighteenth century. It’s about the Revolution, with the focus on the year 1776. It’s about Washington and the army and the war. It’s the nadir, the low point of the United States of America. – David McCullough

109500. My shorthand answer is that I try to write the kind of book that I would like to read. If I can make it clear and interesting and compelling to me, then I hope maybe it will be for the reader. – David McCullough

109501. I work very hard on the writing, writing and rewriting and trying to weed out the lumber. – David McCullough

109502. Every book is a new journey. I never felt I was an expert on a subject as I embarked on a project. – David McCullough

109503. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof. – David McCullough

109504. In time I began to understand that it’s when you start writing that you really find out what you don’t know and need to know. – David McCullough

109505. I’m very aware how many distractions the reader has in life today, how many good reasons there are to put the book down. – David McCullough

109506. I would pay to do what I do if I had to. – David McCullough

109507. I love Dickens. I love the way he sets a scene. – David McCullough

109508. I love all sides of the work but that doesn’t mean it isn’t hard. – David McCullough

109509. I just thank my father and mother, my lucky stars, that I had the advantage of an education in the humanities. – David McCullough

109510. I had been writing for about twelve years. I knew pretty well how you could find things out, but I had never been trained in an academic way how to go about the research. – David McCullough

109511. I can fairly be called an amateur because I do what I do, in the original sense of the word – for love, because I love it. On the other hand, I think that those of us who make our living writing history can also be called true professionals. – David McCullough

109512. First of all, you can make the argument that there’s no such thing as the past. Nobody lived in the past. – David McCullough

109513. I’m drawn particularly to stories that evolve out of the character of the protagonist. – David McCullough

109514. There are so many similarities between a startup venture and a political campaign – the rhythm, the tempo, the hours, the intensity. – Mike McCurry

109515. He was imposing, even in his pensiveness. – George Barr McCutcheon

109516. In course of time my first novel appeared. It was a love story. – George Barr McCutcheon

109517. It was a bright, clear afternoon in the late fall that pretty Miss Cable drove up in her trap and waited at the curb for her father to come forth from his office in one of Chicago’s tallest buildings. – George Barr McCutcheon

109518. You can best fight any existing evil from the inside. – Hattie McDaniel

109519. In playing the part of Mammy, I tried to make her a living, breathing character, the way she appeared to me in the book. – Hattie McDaniel

109520. What is the thing that Hollywood demands most? Sincerity. No place in the world will pay such a high price for this admirable trait. – Hattie McDaniel

109521. When I was little, my mother taught me how to use a fork and knife. The trouble is that Mother forget to teach me how to stop using them! – Hattie McDaniel

109522. We all respect sincerity in our friends and acquaintances, but Hollywood is willing to pay for it. – Hattie McDaniel

109523. The entire race is usually judged by the actions of one man or woman. – Hattie McDaniel

109524. That’s a powerful lucky rabbit’s foot. I got the part in Gone With the Wind because of it. I got my Warner contract, thanks to it. – Hattie McDaniel

109525. Putting a little time aside for clean fun and good humor is very necessary to relieve the tensions of our time. – Hattie McDaniel

109526. Playing the Mammy of Miss Leigh was just about the biggest thrill I’ve ever had. – Hattie McDaniel

109527. It sure looks good to see an honest-to-goodness audience after looking at you all for so long from the silver screen. – Hattie McDaniel

109528. A woman’s gifts will make room for her. – Hattie McDaniel

109529. I’ve played everything but a harp. – Hattie McDaniel

109530. I’m letting no man handle my bank account. – Hattie McDaniel

109531. I sincerely hope that I shall always be a credit to my race, and to the motion picture industry. – Hattie McDaniel

109532. I don’t belong on this earth. I always feel out of place – like a visitor. – Hattie McDaniel

109533. I did my best, and God did the rest. – Hattie McDaniel

109534. I am loathe to get married again. I’ve been married enough; I just prefer to forget it. – Hattie McDaniel

109535. I always have the best of everything. – Hattie McDaniel

109536. Faith is the black person’s federal reserve system. – Hattie McDaniel

109537. Every actor and actress is possessed of the absorbing passion to create something distinctive and unique. – Hattie McDaniel

109538. Bob Hope, Red Skelton, and Eddie Cantor… help us keep our balance. – Hattie McDaniel

109539. As for those grapefruit and buttermilk diets, I’ll take roast chicken and dumplings. – Hattie McDaniel

109540. My desire for the part of Mammy was not dominated by selfishness for Hollywood has been good to me and I am grateful. – Hattie McDaniel

109541. I guess my style is a cross between David Bowie and Clint Eastwood. – Dylan McDermott

109542. Never wear plaid. – Dylan McDermott

109543. The Victorian era is the sexiest age for me, but I also like a woman in a pair of jeans. – Dylan McDermott

109544. There’s nothing wrong with the free-enterprise system. But it has to have some compassion. – Jim McDermott

109545. I’m not giving the president a blank check, period. – Jim McDermott

109546. But beyond the hysteria of phantom death panels, where is the abomination? Show me the provisions that will hurt consumers, because if you think a $110 billion a year tax break for working-class Americans to buy private health insurance is a government takeover, I welcome the debate. – Jim McDermott

109547. We pretended there was no problem with Agent Orange after Vietnam and later the Pentagon recanted, after untold suffering by veterans. – Jim McDermott

109548. I have stood on the front lines of the health care system as a doctor, patient and concerned parent. Those experiences have served as my guideposts throughout the struggle to reform America’s health care system. And it’s those same experiences that tell me that fear and election hysteria should not overshadow the reality of reform. – Jim McDermott

109549. That’s the mark of a great storyteller, never to give away secrets in advance. – Ian McDiarmid

109550. To start your life as a character of 120 years when you are in your late thirties, and then go back in time about 20 years later to play the same character who is your own age then, its very complicated, but very interesting. – Ian McDiarmid

109551. The part that I think is one of the most interesting is of course the one that Hayden Christensen plays. – Ian McDiarmid

109552. When George asked me to be the prequels, it was the same kind of meeting – it was very short and to the point. It was nice to see him after a long time, and we met in a hotel room. – Ian McDiarmid

109553. It was a scene I was really looking forward to, and one that I embraced, and when we were filming it, George got closer and closer and closer with that camera – he was practically up my nose for the final shot. So I knew it was a moment that I had to do my best to get right. – Ian McDiarmid

109554. If you got the DVD you can see that George Lucas has taken that person out, as well as the voice, and we shot this scene when we arrived in Australia during the actual filming of Episode 3. – Ian McDiarmid

109555. I’m the blackest villain of all time. – Ian McDiarmid

109556. I suppose it’s easy to play a hypocritical politician with a smiling face; it’s also quite gratifying to play. – Ian McDiarmid

109557. For me it’s even more interesting, because my character comes out of the shadow. It’s a chance to really act emotionally, because the situation is an extreme one. – Ian McDiarmid

109558. Consistency is very important when you’re making films. – Ian McDiarmid

109559. But he did say that the character would be on the sidelines in movies One and Two, and move into the middle with number Three, but I didn’t realize he would move in with quite such a bang. – Ian McDiarmid

109560. And also, it’s sort of my job to make you believe things about him that aren’t true about me. – Ian McDiarmid

109561. There were a number of people who helped me get there, and the one I always mention is Michael Byrne, the great master swordsman and brilliant stunt double. – Ian McDiarmid

109562. Your mind, which is yourself, can be likened to a house. The first necessary move then, is to rid that house of all but furnishings essential to success. – John McDonald

109563. You return and again take the proper course, guided by what? – By the picture in mind of the place you are headed for. – John McDonald

109564. We have been endowed with the capacity and the power to create desirable pictures within and to find them automatically in the outer world of our environment. – John McDonald

109565. To enjoy enduring success we should travel a little in advance of the world. – John McDonald

109566. There must be a positive and negative in everything in the universe in order to complete a circuit or circle, without which there would be no activity, no motion. – John McDonald

109567. The intensity of your desire governs the power with which the force is directed. – John McDonald

109568. A set definite objective must be established if we are to accomplish anything in a big way. – John McDonald

109569. We end the show with something that’s never been on TV because it was too big for a sketch but we couldn’t stretch it out to make a whole episode because it would have been too long, but we always thought it was really good. – Kevin McDonald

109570. We never thought the first movie would bomb. – Kevin McDonald

109571. You know, I’ve never seen South Park, just by coincidence. – Kevin McDonald

109572. We always thought that we’d go on from the show to have a career in movies. – Kevin McDonald

109573. I had to learn how to drive because I didn’t drive in Toronto. – Kevin McDonald

109574. I can’t explain it, but spiritually it makes sense – though I don’t understand how it does make sense. – Kevin McDonald

109575. We’re doing 3000 seaters before that we never played anything more than 1000. – Kevin McDonald

109576. So the laughs had to come from the character, not because we had balloons in our shirts or were speaking in high voices. That was very important to us. – Kevin McDonald

109577. Of course Toronto might as well be Buffalo, because we get each other’s TV. – Kevin McDonald

109578. I would also would have liked the part of the Bus Driver. – Kevin McDonald

109579. I feel that I’m sort of playing me but more feminine, and to me more feminine means smarter. – Kevin McDonald

109580. Oh, completely liberating because even if you don’t do a woman right, you just have to put on high heels a wig, a bra and a dress, and I feel liberated. – Kevin McDonald

109581. Yes, they allowed us to play around a lot because, like we said, the director’s such a good comedy director. – Kevin McDonald

109582. What I always say is that we’re the illegitimate children of Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lewis. – Kevin McDonald

109583. And we know Bruce Campbell from way back, so that was a lot of fun. – Kevin McDonald

109584. Anything that was perverse and silly would be Kids in the Hall. – Kevin McDonald

109585. He sort of gets comic moments. Not a lot of directors do. – Kevin McDonald

109586. Well… Actually I got picked because I was the only one who fit the wedding gown – they had my size. – Kevin McDonald

109587. I don’t want to be the cliche American Idol dude. I want to be different, you know – that’s the whole goal, me and music. It’s about being yourself and being unique. – Paul McDonald

109588. I’ve been touring for so long, I’ve kind of honed into exactly what I am, I’m an artist so if you like it, you like it, if you don’t you don’t, you know? – Paul McDonald

109589. They said just keep doing my thing, don’t try to change anything, which I won’t. – Paul McDonald

109590. I sing both in my shower and in my car, mostly in my car, because I have this weird thing – whenever I’m singing to the radio – my friends kind of hate it – but I pick out the harmonies in my head, and I’m singing the harmonies to the tracks and I’m jamming it out. – Paul McDonald

109591. If my life were a song, what would it be? ‘A Never Ending Road of Musical Good Times’. – Paul McDonald

109592. My favorite music to sing would be my own songs, my original songs, just because I know them, you know I write the tunes, so my favorite songs are the newest ones that I write. That’s what I like to sing the most, because it means something, it’s real, it comes from me. – Paul McDonald

109593. The creative conquest of space will serve as a wonderful substitute for war. – James S. McDonnell

109594. I love the idea of a woman being able to discover the idea of power this way, on such a scale. And I don’t know about that, what it means – well, I guess I’d better, or my part’s in trouble. – Mary McDonnell

109595. I do think that it’s extremely important with this character show her assuming power with a great deal of grace, and find out how to do things she won’t like – the things she’s called upon to do. – Mary McDonnell

109596. The Cylons are such a frightening concept – not knowing who is real. No way. – Mary McDonnell

109597. I love to work. I love to have complexity. – Mary McDonnell

109598. It’s phenomenally important to me that, if I’m going to be spending years on a project, I need to be interested in the whole thing. I’m not there to be on my own. And if I’m going to be with these people, I’d best be interested in their work. – Mary McDonnell

109599. Ron allowed us to see right away the private piece of a person about to become very public. I suspect we’re going to see more of her very private world – Laura’s private experience. I’m not sure yet how public she’s going to be about the actions she’s going to have to take. – Mary McDonnell

109600. That moment was very important because it was political. That’s what has to be done, so they struck a deal. She figures his is a well-thought-out motivation that she felt was worthy trade-off. The motivation here is survival, and she has to think like a leader. – Mary McDonnell

109601. With BSG, sci-fi is the human experience taken beyond the envelope. When I first became involved with the project, I knew that I would be able to play a human being for many years, exploring and reflecting on issues that would impact people’s lives. – Mary McDonnell

109602. Well, I don’t know what Ron has in mind, but I do know about the arc of the show. Looking at how intuitive and instinctive Eddie and I play, that is the sort of thing that leads into sexual chemistry. I wouldn’t be surprised if it emerged. – Mary McDonnell

109603. One of my first jobs was at the Boston Globe. I worked in the sports department six months a year. When I was ready to graduate, the sports editor gave me a job as a schoolboy sports writer. – Will McDonough

109604. I don’t think the players play with the same desire they once did. – Will McDonough

109605. Muhammad Ali is a combination of personality and athlete who is probably better known around the world than any other. He became a great hero. – Will McDonough

109606. There aren’t enough good journalists. There are too many who really weren’t groomed to be reporters and, as a result, some of the reporting is shallow. – Will McDonough

109607. The wonderful thing about television is the immediate impact of pictures of current events. – Will McDonough

109608. The two major things that changed the makeup of all professional sports are money generated by television and courts that players went to in order to win their freedom as free agents. – Will McDonough

109609. The one good thing about television is the money; you can make a lot more money than in newspapers. – Will McDonough

109610. The future is electronic. It’s radio, television and the Internet; it’s not really newspapers anymore. – Will McDonough

109611. The ability of players to jump teams when their contracts are up has hurt fan loyalty. – Will McDonough

109612. Overall, I think Michael Jordan is the greatest athlete in any particular sport. He dominated the game for the Chicago Bulls and brought the NBA to its greatest peak of popularity. – Will McDonough

109613. Pete Rozelle used television to get the game to the American public by creating the Super Bowl and making it the biggest sporting event in the world. – Will McDonough

109614. I don’t think there is enough educational programming, but unfortunately, television is built around advertising and those shows don’t get the big ratings. – Will McDonough

109615. I think the greatest all-around athlete ever was Jim Brown. He played lacrosse, basketball and ran track at Syracuse. He played professional football for the Browns. – Will McDonough

109616. I’ve been very fortunate to be involved in all the Super Bowls, to see some World Series, to cover heavyweight championship fights; I’ve been to the Olympics and seen every sporting event there is. – Will McDonough

109617. When I started at the Globe 40 years ago, there were seven newspapers in Boston and now there are only two. There were only three or four television stations in Boston and now there are a dozen. – Will McDonough

109618. I think we’ll always have newspapers, but they’ll lose influence. – Will McDonough

109619. I don’t think we use television the way we should or the way the inventors intended. – Will McDonough

109620. I think money in general hurts all sports. – Will McDonough

109621. I think almost every newspaper in the United States has lost circulation due to the Internet. I also think the Internet will lead to a lot of plagiarism in journalism. – Will McDonough

109622. I received $100 per week when I started working at the Globe after graduation. – Will McDonough

109623. I predict that many teams will go out of business and the size of the leagues will be greatly reduced. – Will McDonough

109624. I was fortunate to be part of a very successful show on CBS in 1986. I switched to NBC for eight years and through these experiences have gotten terrific insight into television; it’s a fascinating medium. – Will McDonough

109625. It’s a scary thing going into the workforce with a $50,000 debt and you’ve been trained as a classical theatre actor. There’s always a depression in the theatre. – Frances McDormand

109626. I’m a character actress, plain and simple… Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers – actors work, and then they don’t work, and then they work again. – Frances McDormand

109627. The fact that I’m sleeping with the director may have something to do with it. – Frances McDormand

109628. Movie stars have careers – actors work, and then they don’t work, and then they work again. – Frances McDormand

109629. Most women’s pictures are as boring and as formulaic as men’s pictures. In place of a car chase or a battle scene, what you get is an extreme closeup of a woman breaking down. – Frances McDormand

109630. The only power you have is the word no. – Frances McDormand

109631. Who can worry about a career? Have a life. – Frances McDormand

109632. I never trusted good-looking boys. – Frances McDormand

109633. I like hard rock, and classic rock, and even metal. – Frances McDormand

109634. I haven’t wanted to play a mother for a long time because I am one. – Frances McDormand

109635. I don’t think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you’re the character you’re trying to be. – Frances McDormand

109636. I don’t think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I’m not a movie star. – Frances McDormand

109637. I am an ordinary person. – Frances McDormand

109638. Certainly, a lot of the films I’ve worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven’t always been the best experiences. – Frances McDormand

109639. There’s only two givens with choosing acting as a profession: one is you will always be unemployed, always, and it doesn’t matter how much money you make, you’re still always going to be unemployed; and that you have no power. – Frances McDormand

109640. It’s much easier to play supporting roles because that’s what I do in my life: I support my son. – Frances McDormand

109641. Like most women, I hate when a guy tries to pick me up by saying, You are the hottest girl I’ve ever seen. It’s totally unrealistic. There are beautiful women everywhere. – Karen McDougal

109642. My dream date is a tall, dark, handsome, blue eyed man with a bubble butt who will whisk me away to Paris in a hot air balloon to wine me, dine me and. – Karen McDougal

109643. The only foreplay I really need is for a guy to kiss my hip bone. The hip is the most erotic and neglected body part. Kiss the hip bone with your lips. – Karen McDougal

109644. We all want to be the sexy girl. – Karen McDougal

109645. I’ve actually been turned down for jobs because I was in Playboy. – Karen McDougal

109646. I love to wear lingerie. The problem is that men always rip it off too quickly. When women are dolled up in lingerie they feel sexy. So let us wear it for five minutes. – Karen McDougal

109647. If you want to meet a woman, it’s best just to smile and say hi. – Karen McDougal

109648. A lot of Playmates look like Playmates, but I look so girl-next-door and wholesome. – Karen McDougal

109649. For me the ideal date would be to drink wine in the backyard under the stars, listen to music and just talk. Then we’d eat steak and, later, dessert. If all went as planned, we’d save some of the dessert and play with it while making out. – Karen McDougal

109650. I enjoyed being in movies when I was a boy. As a child you’re not acting – you believe. – Roddy McDowall

109651. I can’t say I was unhappy as a child actor in films. I had a particularly wonderful time. – Roddy McDowall

109652. I started to study, because I knew I had to learn a lot about myself as an actor; you can’t act the same as you did as a child. – Roddy McDowall

109653. I still have the actor’s disease. I always think I’ll never get another job. – Roddy McDowall

109654. My whole life I’ve been trying to prove I’m not just yesterday. – Roddy McDowall

109655. They said I couldn’t play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York. – Roddy McDowall

109656. Fortunately, I happened to go east at a time when live television was centered in New York. – Roddy McDowall

109657. Where I once believed people were there to be used, I started thinking of other people first. – Josh McDowell

109658. If they had connived a scheme, and Christ had not been raised from the dead, where would have been the hardest place on the face of the earth to convince anyone? In Jerusalem. – Josh McDowell

109659. After I set out to refute Christianity intellectually and couldn’t, I came to the conclusion the Bible was true and Jesus Christ was God’s Son. – Josh McDowell

109660. As a reward for their efforts, however, those early Christians were beaten, stoned to death, thrown to the lions, tortured and crucified. Every conceivable method was used to stop them from talking. – Josh McDowell

109661. Because the New Testament provides the primary historical source for information on the resurrection, many critics during the 19th century attacked the reliability of these biblical documents. – Josh McDowell

109662. Both Jewish and Roman sources and traditions admit an empty tomb. – Josh McDowell

109663. Christ appeared alive on several occasions after the cataclysmic events of that first Easter. – Josh McDowell

109664. For centuries many of the world’s distinguished philosophers have assaulted Christianity as being irrational, superstitious and absurd. – Josh McDowell

109665. Here’s the simplest answer: Within weeks, the disciples proclaimed the resurrection of Jesus Christ, that He had been bodily raised from the dead and appeared to them. – Josh McDowell

109666. I am not a Christian because God changed my life; I am a Christian because of my convictions about who Jesus Christ is. – Josh McDowell

109667. Why don’t the names of Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius offend people? The reason is that these others didn’t claim to be God, but Jesus did. – Josh McDowell

109668. If Jesus Christ was who He claimed to be, and He did die on a cross at a point of time in history, then, for all history past and all history future it is relevant because that is the very focal point for forgiveness and redemption. – Josh McDowell

109669. Jesus claimed He had the power to raise himself from the dead and His followers would be raised from the dead. That’s a unique claim in the literature of religion. – Josh McDowell

109670. Now, whenever you read any historical document, you always evaluate it in light of the historical context. – Josh McDowell

109671. On that Sunday morning the first thing that impressed the people who approached the tomb was the unusual position of the one and a half to two ton stone that had been lodged in front of the doorway. – Josh McDowell

109672. Paul the apostle recounted that Jesus appeared to more than 500 of His followers at one time, the majority of whom were still alive and who could confirm what Paul wrote. – Josh McDowell

109673. Prayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. – Josh McDowell

109674. The first thing that stuck in the minds of the disciples was not the empty tomb, but rather the empty grave clothes – undisturbed in form and position. – Josh McDowell

109675. The New Testament witnesses were fully aware of the background against which the resurrection took place. – Josh McDowell

109676. Where I once constantly lost my temper, I found myself arriving at a crisis and experiencing peace. – Josh McDowell

109677. I once had a lot of hatred, mainly toward my father, an alcoholic. – Josh McDowell

109678. Let’s not get too precious about it: actors are not heart surgeons or brain surgeons. We are just entertaining people. – Malcolm McDowell

109679. If, in a few months, I’m only number 8 or number 10 in the world, I’ll have to look at what off-the-court work I can do. I will need to do something if I want to be number 1. – John McEnroe

109680. I haven’t seen a professional player come out of New York in over 20 years since my brother Patrick came out. Blake spent a few years in Harlem, but he moved to Connecticut when he was a kid. – John McEnroe

109681. But these guys learn so fast now, they sort of soak up the information, they’re fearless. Those are the guys who learn from their mistakes and come back strong the next time. – John McEnroe

109682. Do you have any problems, other than that you’re unemployed, a moron, and a dork? – John McEnroe

109683. Everybody loves success, but they hate successful people. – John McEnroe

109684. The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose. Life is a learning process and you have to try to learn what’s best for you. Let me tell you, life is not fun when you’re banging your head against a brick wall all the time. – John McEnroe

109685. I had a similar year back in 1984 when I felt like I couldn’t lose. – John McEnroe

109687. I think it’s the mark of a great player to be confident in tough situations. – John McEnroe

109688. I think the players, I put in the book for example that we should go back to wood rackets, probably they laughed at me, I’m a dinosaur, but I think that you see these great players, have even more variety and you see more strategy, there’d be more subtlety. – John McEnroe

109689. I’d like to think I could have and should have won more, but that’s not the point. And I was at the point where I was playing great tennis in the mid 80s – the type of tennis people hadn’t seen before – and I was very proud of that. – John McEnroe

109690. If Roger stopped right now and never won another match, to me he’d already be one of the greatest players to ever play the game. To me, he’s the greatest all around talent that I’ve ever seen. – John McEnroe

109691. It means a lot to be back in New York. Particularly since one of the last senior event scheduled in the States was supposed to be here in New York. We were supposed to play in Central Park right after 9-11 and when 9-11 happened obviously things changed. – John McEnroe

109692. Well I think that’s probably one of a few, where I grew up in the City of New York, it’s got a lot of energy, my parents are Irish-American so there was a bit of yelling going on in my house but it seemed normal. – John McEnroe

109693. There’s something deeply satisfying when it succeeds, but I’m not going to do another book just to put my name on something and make some money if it’s not something I deeply care about. – John McEnroe

109694. Things slow down, the ball seems a lot bigger and you feel like you have more time. Everything computes – you have options, but you always take the right one. – John McEnroe

109695. This taught me a lesson, but I’m not quite sure what it is. – John McEnroe

109696. To be involved in a senior tournament back in the States is very satisfying. – John McEnroe

109697. We should reach out to people to try to go after the fans the way other sports do. Because we can’t just depend on the fact that it is a great game. – John McEnroe

109698. I’ll let the racket do the talking. – John McEnroe

109699. I believe there’s only one autobiography you can do. – John McEnroe

109700. I’ve got CDs in my car, listening all the time for that next song, because everybody’s looking. – Reba McEntire

109701. You know, I get a lot of people pitching songs to me. – Reba McEntire

109702. When onstage, I always try to take my audience through as many emotions as I possibly can. I want them to go from laughter to tears, be shocked and surprised and walk out the door with a renewed sense of themselves – and maybe a smile. – Reba McEntire

109703. To me, there’s two types of songs, good and bad. And I just like to stick with the good ones. – Reba McEntire

109704. So, we come out to Los Angeles. And we met with every network. We met with show runners, directors, writers, everything. And what we had an idea for, they didn’t like. And what they had an idea for, we didn’t like. So, we went home. – Reba McEntire

109705. So, I took lessons, and I love to shoot now. It’s a lot of fun. – Reba McEntire

109706. So, I think it has to do with the product and what you take to the public. If they like it, they’re going to come see you, and if they don’t, and if you’re kind of getting out of the trendy line of things, then they won’t come see you. – Reba McEntire

109707. My family, you know, are all still, you know, very close. We’re all still very close. Mom and Daddy are still alive. So, what more can you ask for? Your kids are healthy. – Reba McEntire

109708. I think it’s a wonderful time for a woman. – Reba McEntire

109709. Never have doubted it, even when the plane crash happened. I wasn’t mad at God. I just knew that there was a reason that I didn’t know about why it happened. – Reba McEntire

109710. For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness. – Reba McEntire

109711. I have learned a lot about myself and come to deal with a lot of things that, at first, bothered me. – Reba McEntire

109712. I think they want to keep it separate, but I’ve never been a crossover artist for some reason. – Reba McEntire

109713. I was singing a lot of waltzes. And I was with Jerry Kennedy, my producer, and he was playing me some songs, and he said, hey, I want to play you this song that I’m going to get Jackie Ward to record. – Reba McEntire

109714. I have talked to Debbie Hammond quite a bit, Jim Hammond’s wife, his widow. I’ve seen their kids. And last time we played Dallas, a lot of them came over. It’s hard for them to come see the show. It’s still hard. – Reba McEntire

109715. For no. 1, it’s great writing, super writing. The second thing is that it’s great chemistry with all the actors. We just all got along from the very start. Very get-go, we all got along. We just – it was just like we were all meant to be there together. – Reba McEntire

109716. Growing up is not being so dead-set on making everybody happy. – Reba McEntire

109717. I had lots of breaks. – Reba McEntire

109718. And so we were asleep there in San Diego. And our pilot called us. And his brother was on one of the other planes. And when he was leaving the airport, he saw in his rear view mirror that there was an explosion. – Reba McEntire

109719. And the two planes that were taking the band and crew that we had taken out to San Diego were flying out after the show. And so I was never supposed to be on that plane. – Reba McEntire

109720. Finding a good bus driver can be as important as finding a good musician. – Reba McEntire

109721. But I like to listen to demos. I like to hear the finished product. It’s like listening to a song – I mean, a story. If you’re going to sit here and tell me a story, I just like to listen. I don’t want to make them up. – Reba McEntire

109722. Besides, I’m a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around. – Reba McEntire

109723. Be different, stand out, and work your butt off. – Reba McEntire

109724. At this time when I turn 50, because so there’s many of my friends and family who didn’t get to see 50-years-old, and so, I’m celebrating for them too. – Reba McEntire

109725. I think it’s the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I’m not ashamed of that by any means. – Reba McEntire

109726. By concentrating on what is good in people, by appealing to their idealism and their sense of justice, and by asking them to put their faith in the future, socialists put themselves at a severe disadvantage. – Ian Mcewan

109727. You enter a state of controlled passivity, you relax your grip and accept that even if your declared intention is to justify the ways of God to man, you might end up interesting your readers rather more in Satan. – Ian Mcewan

109728. Politics is the enemy of the imagination. – Ian Mcewan

109729. It is not the first duty of the novelist to provide blueprints for insurrection, or uplifting tales of successful resistance for the benefit of the opposition. The naming of what is there is what is important. – Ian Mcewan

109730. One has to have the courage of one’s pessimism. – Ian Mcewan

109731. Being named a great school at a great price means that we offer both high-quality academic programs and real affordability for families. We offer a personal touch that’s hard to match at a big school but without a big price tag. – David McFadden

109732. Outside of the chair, the teapot is the most ubiquitous and important design element in the domestic environment and almost everyone who has tackled the world of design has ended up designing one. – David McFadden

109733. I love a lot of things, and I’m pretty much obsessive about most things I do, whether it be gardening, or architecture, or music. I’d be an obsessive hairdresser. – Gates McFadden

109734. Life is so fast these days, and we’re exposed to so much information. Television makes us a witness to such misery. – Gates McFadden

109735. Just learning to think in another language allows you to see your own culture in a better viewpoint. – Gates McFadden

109736. The deal is that you can do it, you don’t really owe me anything, but at the end of it, I own the film. Then I can actually go out and reprint or not reprint if it I want. – Todd McFarlane

109737. Image has to be its own fortress, in spite of the owners. People can’t separate that or they don’t comprehend that you can turn that on and off for each one of the different entities. – Todd McFarlane

109738. You’ve got to let it go and say it was the best I could do at that time and place in my life. You hope that the thing you’re doing next is a little bit better. – Todd McFarlane

109739. To me, I was always just standing on the sidelines because up until issue 50, we were just doing Spawn. I wasn’t recruiting anybody because I didn’t have any books for people to work on. – Todd McFarlane

109740. I’m a guy who likes to watch something cool, creepy and suspenseful and there is no show to watch as an adult that would scare me at for even four seconds. – Todd McFarlane

109741. A lot was happening, plus there were an enormous number of people in the industry that were going to conventions, so it was a pretty fun time. Also there was a lot of controversy and I was at the forefront of some of that. – Todd McFarlane

109742. Anthology shows as a whole scare people. The networks can’t quite get their heads around it. – Todd McFarlane

109743. But again, I put in my time with Marvel and DC so there was that period of my life of trying to learn how to draw and tell stories in a proper fashion. – Todd McFarlane

109744. Given that I have to share my computer with my three children, it’s not usually a site that I get to spend that much time on. I’m usually on the Nickelodeon site, coloring with my little five year old or something. – Todd McFarlane

109745. Here is a fear for me, I never wanted to be one of those guys that was defined by a body of work 20 years old. – Todd McFarlane

109746. I even knew some of the dialogue but it was definitely cool to look at. We always argue that the movies should be loyal but in this case I could argue that it might have been too loyal. – Todd McFarlane

109747. I guess The Grudge made over $100 million, but none of them had long legs after they came out but they all opened up and found an audience. If you could make those movies for a price, which is what I want to do with Spawn, then you could have some success. – Todd McFarlane

109748. It works in the comic book, but as the audiences have gotten older and more sophisticated, I think the stories need to grow up with them. This is a story about a couple of rival gangs and what goes wrong in a couple of days. – Todd McFarlane

109749. I think people would actually be surprised by what we put out. Unfortunately the shadow that the original founders cast was that they were just artists that can’t write books so people swept the whole of Image with that paintbrush. – Todd McFarlane

109750. The attempt is that we want to get a couple of minutes under our belt, depending on how good the tests are and take that into Hollywood. The fallback is we’re going to DVD anyways. We’ve got that covered. – Todd McFarlane

109751. I’m tired of trying to get other people to see into my brain. I’m done. – Todd McFarlane

109752. I’ve been fortunate to come on places where the question isn’t why did I do it? The question to me is always, why didn’t anybody else do it before me? Those are the ones that I scratch my head about. – Todd McFarlane

109753. If I ever do anything, it actually might be some fantasy elf thing or even some cute, funny thing. Just to do something a little bit out of the ordinary. I’ve done my superhero gig. – Todd McFarlane

109754. It can’t really happen today the way it did back then and part of that is because I think there’s a bit of a competitive scare over at Marvel and DC so they lock guys up with exclusive contracts. – Todd McFarlane

109755. Obviously Spawn was at the top of the charts at that point so you get a lot of opportunities. – Todd McFarlane

109756. That became a big time in comic books because it’s when people were starting to break out into independent stuff, the market was getting choked with speculators and everybody was trying to do their own trick covers. – Todd McFarlane

109757. That was my fear, which is why when I was took over a book, I was always trying to tweak it a little bit so that it looked like I was trying to add something instead of keeping the status quo. – Todd McFarlane

109758. I still do some inking here and there and I’ve actually got a book that I’m going to ink entirely. – Todd McFarlane

109759. People don’t ever seem to realize that doing what’s right is no guarantee against misfortune. – William McFee

109760. Fear, born of that stern matron, Responsibility. – William McFee

109761. There is nothing like an odor to stir memories. – William McFee

109762. A young man must let his ideas grow, not be continually rooting them up to see how they are getting on. – William McFee

109763. Doing what’s right is no guarantee against misfortune. – William McFee

109764. If fate means you to lose, give him a good fight anyhow. – William McFee

109765. It is so much easier to tell intimate things in the dark. – William McFee

109766. One must choose between Obscurity with Efficiency, and Fame with its inevitable collateral of Bluff. – William McFee

109767. Terrible and sublime thought, that every moment is supreme for some man and woman, every hour the apotheosis of some passion! – William McFee

109768. Then I left that school and I went to Cerritos College, which was in southern California; they had one of the best big band programs in the country at the time. – Bobby McFerrin

109769. I like to use the audience as my color palette, my instrument. – Bobby McFerrin

109770. Then when I was in grammar school I played the clarinet, and then, after clarinet I played the flute in college orchestra – besides singing in the college chorus and things like that. – Bobby McFerrin

109771. The true musician is to bring light into people’s hearts. – Bobby McFerrin

109772. Seriously though, my father was the first African American to sign a contract with the Metropolitan Opera so I grew up with classical music and jazz in the home all the time. – Bobby McFerrin

109773. Part of our responsibility as parents, as adults, is to set examples for children. But we have to like children in order to be really happy fulfilled adults. – Bobby McFerrin

109774. My father was a very disciplined singer who worked hard at his craft, and I was around that growing up. – Bobby McFerrin

109775. My biggest musical influences are probably my parents. – Bobby McFerrin

109776. It’s not that I don’t love the song. My songs are like my children: some you want around and some you want to send off to college as soon as possible. – Bobby McFerrin

109777. Well, I started conducting kind of by accident. I wanted to give myself a special birthday present for my fortieth birthday, and I was living in San Francisco at the time and I started attending some of the concerts and then simply dropping hints. – Bobby McFerrin

109778. Then I came up with this crazy idea just to walk out on the stage with no band at all and just start singing whatever came to mind. I actually fought the idea for a while because it seemed almost too radical, but it became obvious what I was supposed to be doing. – Bobby McFerrin

109779. I’d actually been making my living as an organist with bands since I was probably 15 or 16 years old, and then as a senior in high school I put together a jazz quintet called The Bobby Mack Jazz Quintet. – Bobby McFerrin

109780. I want to write a book of poetry, as well as children’s stories. – Bobby McFerrin

109781. I played piano as a kid; I still play a little bit. – Bobby McFerrin

109782. I did the one concert, and I was not bitten by the conducting bug, and I thought I was done, but then the phone started to ring, and gradually, over time, I started conducting more and more. Now a third of my performances are with orchestras. – Bobby McFerrin

109783. I like a very dark house, just black. I sit there and just think. Once I’m still and quiet inside, I’ll begin. It’s very personal; it has to be. One song may be Bach, the next blues, a song from TV, or a nursery rhyme or jazz piece. – Bobby McFerrin

109784. I have a lot of albums yet to do. – Bobby McFerrin

109785. I grew up in a time when being a musician and learning to be a musician was actually very wonderful. – Bobby McFerrin

109786. I don’t want anything to get in the way of me and my singing. I want my mind as clear as possible. – Bobby McFerrin

109787. I do a lot of performing, but don’t get a chance to go to the studio and write good music. – Bobby McFerrin

109788. Miles Davis turned his back to the audience when he came out on stage, and he offended people. But, he wasn’t there to entertain; he was all about the music. I kind of do that. – Bobby McFerrin

109789. When I’m on stage by myself, I don’t have to think about anything. I don’t have to worry about anything because I’m not responsible for anything except just opening my mouth and making sure music comes out. – Bobby McFerrin

109790. But, if there’s any aspect of my career that needs attention, it’s writing. – Bobby McFerrin

109791. I prepared five songs, I sang them, and he hired me. I started working about a month later at the piano bar. – Bobby McFerrin

109792. If I can bring joy into the world, if I can get people to stop thinking about their pain for a moment, or the fact the tomorrow morning they’re going to get up and tell their boss off… then I’ll be successful. – Bobby McFerrin

109793. Ireland is a peculiar society in the sense that it was a nineteenth century society up to about 1970 and then it almost bypassed the twentieth century. – John McGahern

109794. I belong to the middle class that grew up very influenced by the Catholic church. The people of the novel are from a more pagan and practical world in which the Christianity is just a veneer. – John McGahern

109795. Yes, though I have nothing but gratitude for my upbringing in the church. – John McGahern

109796. Yes, but also one of the problems for a novelist in Ireland is the fact that there are no formal manners. I mean some people have beautiful manners but there’s no kind of agreed form of manners. – John McGahern

109797. When you’re in danger of losing a thing it becomes precious and when it’s around us, it’s in tedious abundance and we take it for granted as if we’re going to live forever, which we’re not. – John McGahern

109798. When I was in my 20s it did occur to me that there was something perverted about an attitude that thought that killing somebody was a minor offence compared to kissing somebody. – John McGahern

109799. When I start to write, words have become physical presence. It was to see if I could bring that private world to life that found its first expression through reading. I really dislike the romantic notion of the artist. – John McGahern

109800. We absolutely believed in Heaven and Hell, Purgatory, and even Limbo. I mean, they were actually closer to us than Australia or Canada, that they were real places. – John McGahern

109801. The way I see it is that all the ol’ guff about being Irish is a kind of nonsense. I mean, I couldn’t be anything else no matter what I tried to be. I couldn’t be Chinese or Japanese. – John McGahern

109802. My father was very outwardly religious. – John McGahern

109803. I’ve never written anything that hasn’t been in my mind for a long time – seven or eight years. – John McGahern

109804. I used to take five or six books away and bring five or six books back. Nobody gave me direction or advice and I read much in the way that a boy might watch television. – John McGahern

109805. I feel I grew up in a different century than I live in. I think most of them are changes for the good. – John McGahern

109806. For example, it’s only about 20 years ago the people in that community would have got telephone lines, and it would be only about in the 1950s that electricity came to that part of the world. Television wouldn’t have come till 1970. – John McGahern

109807. Everything that we inherit, the rain, the skies, the speech, and anybody who works in the English language in Ireland knows that there’s the dead ghost of Gaelic in the language we use and listen to and that those things will reflect our Irish identity. – John McGahern

109808. The rosary was said every evening. I always liked that sentence about the medieval Churches, that they were the Bibles of the poor. The Church was my first book and I would think it is still my most important book. – John McGahern

109809. Amongst Women concentrated on the family, and the new book concentrates on a small community. The dominant units in Irish society are the family and the locality. The idea was that the whole world would grow out from that small space. – John McGahern

109810. I think there’s a great difference in consciousness in that same way in that when we’re young we read books for the story, for the excitement of the story – and there comes a time when you realise that all stories are more or less the same story. – John McGahern

109811. I love the description of Gothic churches before the printed word, that they were the bibles of the poor. – John McGahern

109812. I read all the time. I was reading a book I admire very much by Alice McDermot called Charming Billy. – John McGahern

109813. I think fiction is a very serious thing, that while it is fiction, it is also a revelation of truth, or facts. – John McGahern

109814. I think it’s linked to the realisation that we’re not going to live forever and that the way of saying and the language become more important than the story. – John McGahern

109815. I think technique can be taught but I think the only way to learn to write is to read, and I see writing and reading as completely related. One almost couldn’t exist without the other. – John McGahern

109816. I think that each of us inhabits a private world that others cannot see. The only difference between the writer and the reader is that the writer is able to dramatise that private world. – John McGahern

109817. But that private world, once it’s dramatised, doesn’t live again until it finds a reader. – John McGahern

109818. When somebody blazes a path to a highway that never end, you should appreciate ’em some. – Brownie McGhee

109819. Anywhere I’m wanted, I’ll go. I’ve got to be wanted, though. – Brownie McGhee

109820. Long made it possible for me to get on records, so what little money he did take from me, if any at all, he was entitled to it. He didn’t take something from me. – Brownie McGhee

109821. My guitar was loud as hell, and I had no sympathy for anybody else. – Brownie McGhee

109822. Something is better than nothing. Doin’ anything for a man, there’s investments involved, there’s time and production. It’s better to give him ten bucks and get a record out than to never record the cat. – Brownie McGhee

109823. That’s what I liked about hitch-hiking. If a crowd wasn’t big enough, I kept walkin.’ – Brownie McGhee

109824. There’s a lot of good musicians who are unheard of. Get it down before they pass away. – Brownie McGhee

109825. When I was hitch-hiking, people had to follow me, ’cause I didn’t stay long. – Brownie McGhee

109826. I was playing with steel picks on a steel guitar, and there was no amplification needed. – Brownie McGhee

109827. Everybody would grab a guitar and listen to somebody else and call themselves a folk singer. When they didn’t know no more songs, they’d run out of them. – Brownie McGhee

109828. I don’t sit here and dream because I don’t care about the future. I wouldn’t take nothin’ for my past and I’ve got enough behind me that I can write forever. – Brownie McGhee

109829. I got Sonny up to Harlem, and we started street playin’ in New York. We did that for three or four years and survived. We brought it back to the streets again. – Brownie McGhee

109830. I met Sonny after (Blind Boy) Fuller died, and me and Sonny played in the streets like everybody else. – Brownie McGhee

109831. From then on in, me and Sonny started makin’ records. My first records, Sonny was backin’ me up. Sonny wasn’t singin’ natural at the time; he was singin’ falsetto. – Brownie McGhee

109832. I only write about what I do, what happens to me. – Brownie McGhee

109833. Logically, when you talkin’ about folk music and blues, you find out it’s music of just plain people. – Brownie McGhee

109834. Within the hearts men, loyalty and consideration are esteemed greater than success. – Bryant H. McGill

109835. Yearning for the seemingly impossible is the path to human progress. – Bryant H. McGill

109836. You may find many contradictory statements and philosophies within my writings. However, to this I will say such is life, for life is full of contradictions. – Bryant H. McGill

109837. While it is important for people to see your promise you must also remember that hope is the keeper of both happiness and disappointment, the father of both progress and failure. – Bryant H. McGill

109838. Where wise actions are the fruit of life, wise discourse is the pollination. – Bryant H. McGill

109839. Why do we laugh at such terrible things? Because comedy is often the sarcastic realization of inescapable tragedy. – Bryant H. McGill

109840. Enthusiasm is the energy and force that builds literal momentum of the human soul and mind. – Bryant H. McGill

109841. Emotion is often what we rely upon to carry us across the unfathomable voids in our intelligence. – Bryant H. McGill

109842. Education should prepare our minds to use its own powers of reason and conception rather than filling it with the accumulated misconceptions of the past. – Bryant H. McGill

109843. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you have to agree with people and their beliefs to defend them from injustice. – Bryant H. McGill

109844. Do not let your grand ambitions stand in the way of small but meaningful accomplishments. – Bryant H. McGill

109845. Do not let your ambitions become a sanctuary for your failures. – Bryant H. McGill

109846. Death is the great hope of all life; the desire to expend itself; to be used and consumed by its own longing for itself. – Bryant H. McGill

109847. Curiosity is one of the great secrets of happiness. – Bryant H. McGill

109848. Most people do not actually know how to think for themselves, and unfortunately that prevents them from even knowing it. – Bryant H. McGill

109849. Freedom is not a gift nor does it simply exist for us to have, but rather it is a sacred duty, and its blessed yield of hope is born from none other than the blood of the innocent. – Bryant H. McGill

109850. Creativity is the greatest expression of liberty. – Bryant H. McGill

109852. Fanatic is often the name given to people of action by people who are lazy. – Bryant H. McGill

109853. It is better to have a fair intellect that is well used than a powerful one that is idle. – Bryant H. McGill

109854. Unfortunately, your reputation often rests not on your ability to do what you say, but rather on your ability to do what people expect. – Bryant H. McGill

109855. No time is better spent than that spent in the service of your fellow man. – Bryant H. McGill

109856. No one is more insufferable than he who lacks basic courtesy. – Bryant H. McGill

109857. Never expect a loan to a friend to be paid back if you want to keep that friend. – Bryant H. McGill

109858. True freedom is where an individual’s thoughts and actions are in alignment with that which is true, correct, and of honor – no matter the personal price. – Bryant H. McGill

109859. Many openly show discontentment with their looks, but few with their intelligence. I, however, assure you there are many more plain minds than faces. – Bryant H. McGill

109860. Courtesy is a silver lining around the dark clouds of civilization; it is the best part of refinement and in many ways, an art of heroic beauty in the vast gallery of man’s cruelty and baseness. – Bryant H. McGill

109861. In America, educators punish those who actually think for themselves. There is only acceptance for popular opinion. – Bryant H. McGill

109862. Join me in my quest for a greater understanding of our existence. Join me in my desire for a greater self. Join me as I seek the humility to love and understand my fellow man. – Bryant H. McGill

109863. Knowledge is that possession that no misfortune can destroy, no authority can revoke, and no enemy can control. This makes knowledge the greatest of all freedoms. – Bryant H. McGill

109864. It is better to have a meaningful life and make a difference than to merely have a long life. – Bryant H. McGill

109865. Good manners are appreciated as much as bad manners are abhorred. – Bryant H. McGill

109866. One of the most important things one can do in life is to brutally question every single thing you are taught. – Bryant H. McGill

109873. He who is silent must be agreed with, for what shall the wings of opposition thresh upon, without the winds of conversation to shoulder them. – Bryant H. McGill

109874. Having a sense of purpose is having a sense of self. A course to plot is a destination to hope for. – Bryant H. McGill

109903. A polite enemy is just as difficult to discredit, as a rude friend is to protect. – Bryant H. McGill

109904. There are amazingly wonderful people in all walks of life; some familiar to us and others not. Stretch yourself and really get to know people. People are in many ways one of our greatest treasures. – Bryant H. McGill

109919. I did feel Dr. Cox, the character that I was auditioning for, was too similar to the head of the hospital. He was too arrogant and mean. I approached him kind of like I had a miniature Max sitting on my shoulder. I pictured Max saying, “This guy has got to give love every once in a while. He has to!” I knew there had to be tiny little windows of redemption. – John C. McGinley

109920. You go to the hospital your wife’s in labor and you’re doing the thing, and then it’s very disorienting and scary and you beat yourself up and you go through a whole period of ‘woe is me’ and then you realize that this a gift, this child is the light, and if you can nourish that light and just let it shine, you have an opportunity to get closer to what I think is God. – John C. McGinley

109921. TV tends to look for the living equivalents of squeaky-clean Kens and Barbies, but with my dial I’m more like Ken’s dirty old uncle. – John C. McGinley

109925. I felt (a) it was a great role and (b) I wanted to stay in town. I wanted to stop going to these four month and five month gigs up in Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver or down in Mexico. I wanted to be around my son, Max. This came along and I was like, “I really want to play this guy!” – John C. McGinley

109926. Dr. Cox mentors the rookie doctors with a spoonful of dirt and then a cup of sugar. I see him as an archetypal descendent of two of my favorite curmudgeonly characters: Lou Grant and Louie De Palma. – John C. McGinley

109927. As an actor, it’s great to play a strong leader with a heart of gold. – John C. McGinley

109928. I knew I wanted to play “Dr Cox” really bad, which is always a huge mistake because as soon as you want something really bad, maybe you rip up a little bit. – John C. McGinley

109929. A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe, she can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby, she can use her intuition instead of her brain, but she can’t fold a paper in a crowded train. – Phyllis McGinley
