114211. Our top story tonight: Famous TV dolphin flipper was arrested today on prostitution ring charges. He allegedly was seen transporting two 16 year olds across state line for immoral porpoises. – Colin Mochrie

114212. Onstage I do all the stuff I’d never do in real life, like lashing out at people who make me mad or freaking out in a long bank lineup. Performing allows me to fulfill all the sicko fantasies I’ve ever had. – Colin Mochrie

114213. Nine out of ten Americans believe that out of ten people, one person will always disagree with the other nine! – Colin Mochrie

114218. I don’t want my grandchildren to go through what I went through. – Art Modell

114219. The pride and presence of a professional football team is far more important than 30 libraries. – Art Modell

114220. That got us started on revenue sharing, and we couldn’t have done it without all the teams. – Art Modell

114221. If you start becoming withdrawn and looking over your shoulder, being careful about what you say, that’s being paranoid. This is an open, accessible team. That’s been my trademark for years. – Art Modell

114222. I want to be remembered as a guy who tried his best and did his best. – Art Modell

114223. I never lied to a person in my life; my kids didn’t, either. – Art Modell

114230. Think of Frank Capra and Preston Sturges. They used the same actors over and over again. – Matthew Modine

114231. They don’t have the news media set up in Africa that we do in the United States, where televisions are so accessible and newspapers and magazines are able to educate people. – Matthew Modine

114232. There’s a discipline. When you take someone’s portrait, you don’t have to take 50 photographs, just find that one so that when you release the shutter, that’s the image that you took. – Matthew Modine

114233. Everything is so convenient in New York. – Matthew Modine

114234. I always thought that it was kind of silly that a baseball card could be worth so much money. – Matthew Modine

114235. I don’t think that digital photography is romantic yet. It’s not sympathetic the way that film is. – Matthew Modine

114236. I bought all the stuff, but nothing was as satisfying to me as using the Rolleiflex because it was one shot. – Matthew Modine

114237. I never set out to be rich and famous. I wanted to follow my own path. – Matthew Modine

114238. If you take 2001: A Space Odyssey as an example of somebody who creates a new language in film by what he was able to accomplish with art direction, photography, lighting, etc., it is still a gold standard for science fiction. – Matthew Modine

114239. It was the baseball fantasy of a lifetime – to be able to sit on the bench with all those professional athletes. I got to take my son along because I wasn’t sure I would be able to play with them. – Matthew Modine

114240. My father taught me to paint when I was young with watercolors and so I learned at a very young age the essential elements of the value of light and composition. – Matthew Modine

114241. Photography is about light and what it does and how it is captured on a piece of negative. – Matthew Modine

114242. So the thing that’s beautiful about the Rolleiflex is that I open the camera up from the top and put my face in and that the camera’s all about composition and all about light. – Matthew Modine

114243. Stanley didn’t shy away from true humanity or from the ugliness that all people are capable of. – Matthew Modine

114246. I cannot solve the problem of life by losing myself in the problem of art. – Tina Modotti

114247. I think my comparison with Shane would be a loner. I always got the impression that she wasn’t scared to be alone. She enjoys it. I can relate to that. – Katherine Moennig

114248. I liked the way my character, Shane, was first introduced. You get introduced to her through this sexual action, and I thought that was so cool and just kind of summed up what she enjoys and who she is, to a certain extent. She’s a complete sexual being and the great thing is that she doesn’t apologize for it. It’s just who she is. We rarely see women be able to do that on television. – Katherine Moennig

114249. I like stories that are not normal, everyday lives. I don’t personally seek them out, but they find me. – Katherine Moennig

114250. My best friend growing up really put the bug in my ear about acting. We created this one hour-and-a-half improv play when we were 10 or 11 and performed it at the library. We just played off each other so well and had the best time doing it and the funniest part was, we wound up having packed houses, other people loved it too. – Katherine Moennig

114251. Stage is about imperfections and working with them, whether it be from you or the audience. – Katherine Moennig

114252. What I find very attractive, what I find sexual, are people who are unapologetic for who they are and comfortable with themselves. And I think with those two things sexual energy does come out because you’re not hovering or censoring yourself, you’re just being who you are. And being who you are is a very attractive quality in a person. – Katherine Moennig

114253. My biggest challenge is trust, and really believing that trust, in letting things just happen personally and professionally and trust with myself. But I’m getting better at it. – Katherine Moennig

114254. I went to an all-girls pre school where everyone went off to Harvard or Yale, and I had zero interest in doing so. I think they thought I was on drugs. There was a neighboring all-boys school, so we’d get together and do dumb things. It was your typical Catholic-American upbringing. – Katherine Moennig

114255. I think I made a mistake once… yeah… it was only once. – Jay Mohr

114256. I think golf is a waste of time and a waste of a sunny afternoon. I also stink at it. I have never found anything, including divorce and a sexual harassment suit, more frustrating. – Jay Mohr

114257. You know how to tell if the teacher is hung over? Movie Day. – Jay Mohr

114258. Why are baseball managers the only coaches who dress up like the players? – Jay Mohr

114259. When human beings stop progressing at an endeavor, they stop enjoying it and move on to something else. Not golfers. Masochists, all of them. – Jay Mohr

114260. Unfortunately, there are no mulligans when it comes to pro football contracts. – Jay Mohr

114261. True Yankees are born, not made. – Jay Mohr

114262. Not everyone likes sports. Gandhi and Malcolm X come to mind. – Jay Mohr

114263. If it doesn’t know what to charge you for nosebleed seats, your team sucks. – Jay Mohr

114264. I wasn’t the guy everyone liked. I was the guy that wouldn’t shut up. – Jay Mohr

114265. I wonder why there is a designated hitter in baseball after all these years? As an experiment, it seemed like a swell enough idea, but you would think the novelty would have worn off by now and everyone would get back to playing baseball. – Jay Mohr

114266. I hate golf. I do not understand how anyone can enjoy it, much less love it. – Jay Mohr

114267. Fantasy football is not only a good thing, but a great thing. – Jay Mohr

114268. If it has to sell its mascot, your team sucks. – Jay Mohr

114269. I never minded George Steinbrenner spending obscene amounts of money to put the best product on the field. – Jay Mohr

114270. Commitment and co-operation to overcome barriers and difficulties, and determination to achieve the standards of the EU as well as NATO membership, are and have always been the principal target. – Alfred Moisiu

114271. What staggers me is not the persistence of illusion, but the persistence of the world in the face of illusion. – A. G. Mojtabai

114272. Five years ago, we thought of the Web as a new medium, not a new economy. – Clement Mok

114273. Design, in its broadest sense, is the enabler of the digital era – it’s a process that creates order out of chaos, that renders technology usable to business. Design means being good, not just looking good. – Clement Mok

114274. It’s not rocket science. It’s social science. – Clement Mok

114275. Hopefully, I’ll just get to be part of good films and work with good people, and that’s how it will develop. – Gretchen Mol

114276. Donnie Brasco was great, but the energy on the set made it kinda hard to get in there and have an opinion. – Gretchen Mol

114277. I began thinking I would do musical theater because in high school that was really the only sort of curriculum they had as far as getting onstage and doing anything that anybody would see. So that’s what I did. – Gretchen Mol

114278. I focused on where she was from of course, her voice and her history, her relationship with God – her religion. This was probably the strongest relationship she has had, really. She never seemed to maintain close relationships with husbands. – Gretchen Mol

114279. I haven’t had to do too many, or many explicit ones. Everybody feels weird, and everybody is trying to tiptoe around and make you think they’re not there. The last time I did a love scene, I couldn’t keep a straight face. – Gretchen Mol

114280. I think because I’ve maintained my residence in New York, those kinds of films have been more accessible. – Gretchen Mol

114281. I think it’s sort of disrespectful to the partner you’re having sex with to talk about it. – Gretchen Mol

114282. It’s hard to know really how it’s going to happen, but the career ebbs and flows and now there’s a nicer feeling of interest than there has been at other times. – Gretchen Mol

114283. It’s not like I have a master plan or anything. – Gretchen Mol

114284. The interesting thing about Bettie Page that I discovered was to leave the mystery. She always retained a little mystery. Let there be some unknowns. – Gretchen Mol

114285. People were always able to look at Bettie Page and see what they needed her to be and she gave them that permission to do so. So in that way she’s a feminist but I don’t think she was ever trying to be. – Gretchen Mol

114286. Every good act is charity. A man’s true wealth hereafter is the good that he does in this world to his fellows. – Moliere

114287. Perfect reason flees all extremity, and leads one to be wise with sobriety. – Moliere

114288. As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men, I see no reason why anyone should be exempt. – Moliere

114290. It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do. – Moliere

114296. If you suppress grief too much, it can well redouble. – Moliere

114297. If you make yourself understood, you’re always speaking well. – Moliere

114298. If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh useless. – Moliere

114301. I live on good soup, not on fine words. – Moliere

114304. It is a fine seasoning for joy to think of those we love. – Moliere

114305. Oh, I may be devout, but I am human all the same. – Moliere

114306. It’s true Heaven forbids some pleasures, but a compromise can usually be found. – Moliere

114307. Love is often the fruit of marriage. – Moliere

114308. No matter what Aristotle and the Philosophers say, nothing is equal to tobacco; it’s the passion of the well-bred, and he who lives without tobacco lives a life not worth living. – Moliere

114309. Of all follies there is none greater than wanting to make the world a better place. – Moliere

114310. Solitude terrifies the soul at twenty. – Moliere

114318. A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool. – Moliere

114319. A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of the house. – Moliere

114320. A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation. – Moliere

114321. Esteem must be founded on preference: to hold everyone in high esteem is to esteem nothing. – Moliere

114322. It is the public scandal that offends; to sin in secret is no sin at all. – Moliere

114323. One should eat to live, not live to eat. – Moliere

114324. Unreasonable haste is the direct road to error. – Moliere

114325. I have the fault of being a little more sincere than is proper. – Moliere

114326. We die only once, and for such a long time. – Moliere

114327. True, Heaven prohibits certain pleasures; but one can generally negotiate a compromise. – Moliere

114328. To marry a fool is to be no fool. – Moliere

114329. There’s nothing quite like tobacco: it’s the passion of decent folk, and whoever lives without tobacco doesn’t deserve to live. – Moliere

114330. There is no praise to bear the sort that you put in your pocket. – Moliere

114331. There are pretenders to piety as well as to courage. – Moliere

114332. The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them; it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself. – Moliere

114333. The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. – Moliere

114334. The duty of comedy is to correct men by amusing them. – Moliere

114335. Some of the most famous books are the least worth reading. Their fame was due to their having done something that needed to be doing in their day. The work is done and the virtue of the book has expired. – Moliere

114336. Ah! how annoying that the law doesn’t allow a woman to change husbands just as one does shirts. – Moliere

114337. Grammar, which knows how to control even kings. – Moliere

114338. Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion. – Moliere

114339. The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. – Moliere

114340. Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money. – Moliere

114341. I do remember being a fan of the Marvel characters and not liking the DC characters at all. – Alfred Molina

114342. You’re suspended sixty feet up in the air, you’ve been up there for three hours, and all the shot requires is that you have to sort of react to getting punched in the head. – Alfred Molina

114343. To be challenged means to strive. I’m almost certain that’s true. – Alfred Molina

114344. The worst thing that an actor can do is go into any project with a lack of respect for the material. You can have an opinion about it, but you have to respect yourself in doing it. – Alfred Molina

114345. My father was a waiter basically, and when I got my first professional job as an actor, I left a job that he found me for half the amount of money. So anyone would think that they’re stupid, that that would be a stupid move. – Alfred Molina

114346. I’ve been acting for 25 years, living out of suitcases on theater tours or film locations. – Alfred Molina

114347. I’ve always been terrified about being bored. I always think being bored is the worst thing. The only strategic decision I ever made as an actor was to try and make each job as different as possible. – Alfred Molina

114348. I love playing villains. – Alfred Molina

114349. Every job is different. I don’t think that I’ve ever had that wonderful feeling when you’ve finished a job or where you feel like you’ve mastered it or sort of nailed it… You can never be satisfied. If you’re satisfied, it’s time to retire. – Alfred Molina

114350. I’m not qualified to do anything else. So there better be another job. I’m kind of stuck now. I’m enjoying my life and I’m enjoying my work, and I’m enjoying the fact that the work I’m doing is garnering some interest and that’s great. I just hope that it continues. – Alfred Molina

114351. When I first got here, every time you’d say breast feeding on the House floor there would be a snicker. This has been happening since creation. Can we finally get a grip on it? – Susan Molinari

114354. So, then you find yourself in a situation where you have to do things because they’re on offer to you, because you don’t have much self-respect left. You just can’t say no, even to something that you’ve never done before. You just can’t help yourself. – Brian Molko

114355. We live in a strange bubble. – Brian Molko

114356. Being so honest in my writing is cathartic. – Brian Molko

114357. The more you’ll dress up the more fun you’ll have. – Brian Molko

114359. Placebo is music for outsiders, by outsiders and our gigs are like conventions of outcasts, which is cool. – Brian Molko

114360. My mouth has a tendency to get me into trouble, but because I’m so small and I take on people who are lager than me. If someone punched me, I’d get my drummer beat them up. – Brian Molko

114361. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but clones kind of get it wrong because we are promoting individuality and being proud of being yourself. – Brian Molko

114362. I’d be interested in finding out if there is a light you walk into, and if you do meet people from your life and walk hand in hand with Jesus. I would hate for my death to be tragic: I’d like to be old when it happens. But hopefully a young death is unlikely. – Brian Molko

114363. I refuse to be held responsible for bringing back a wave of pasty-faced people into the world. – Brian Molko

114364. I love being a freak. It’s great! – Brian Molko

114365. I guess the line between being paranoid and being a rock star is smaller than one would expect. – Brian Molko

114366. I feel very comfortable with the way I look, and I feel very comfortable with the kind of confusion that it creates in people’s minds. – Brian Molko

114367. There’s a hell of a lot of freedom in this rock and roll circus… it’s where all the freaks go – it’s the environment for me. – Brian Molko

114368. I’m tired of being around men all the time. I’m going to start a band called Skirt with three girls and I’ll play the guitar and sing backing vocals in drag. I went window shopping when I was in New York, saw a lot of amazing dresses. – Brian Molko

114369. If we are to fulfill the promise of this great Nation that everybody in our society has equal access to the law, obviously having the resources to have access to the law is extremely important. – Alan Mollohan

114370. Violent crime rates fell steadily from 1993 to 2002, and this nearly coincides with the establishment of the community policing program known as the COPS program under the Clinton administration. – Alan Mollohan

114371. Discoveries made during the last hundred years have shown that liberalism is the best system to improve a country’s well being. – Marc Forne Molne

114372. Poverty is not inevitable. It is a human ill that we can fight if we decide to do so together. – Marc Forne Molne

114373. This path that we are now starting will be long, and we must follow it to remind ourselves of the great principles that, in our understanding, should always inspire us. – Marc Forne Molne

114378. If I could uninvent anything, I would uninvent Hitler’s mum, guns and broccoli. – Dominic Monaghan

114379. I was the class clown so I was used to performing and fooling around in front of my friends. – Dominic Monaghan

114380. I could always flip between emotions and be available to suddenly do something new. I think it’s a part of playing, and you hang onto it when you’re a kid. – Dominic Monaghan

114381. I guess we’re living in a pretty sensitive world and there’s nothing you can do about that. – Dominic Monaghan

114382. I have been heartbroken once and it has affected all my relationships from there on. But now I look at it as a occupational hazard. If you are in the meat market at some point you are gonna get mad cows disease. – Dominic Monaghan

114383. I think a lot of young kids at school are very conscious of trying to keep credibility in case they kind of stand out in a crowd and get bullied by trying to stay cool and stuff. And my whole thing, all the way through school, was I was just a goof… I didn’t care. – Dominic Monaghan

114384. I think if you’re an actor, then you can work on stage – but if you’ve never done it before, you’re going to have picked up a few things that you’re going to need to change when you’re working on stage. – Dominic Monaghan

114385. I was never a big guy in pubs. I was never the main kind of aggressor or anything like that, but I found myself in trouble because I always had a mouth that would come back with something, and there was just never anyone who could make me be quiet. – Dominic Monaghan

114386. I’d love to play a gangster but I think people might say I looked a bit too young and cheeky to play a character who’d just blown someones head off! – Dominic Monaghan

114387. I’m in this position where I can afford to wait, I’m lucky enough to be financially secure to not have to do anything that’s thrown at me. You know the next couple of jobs are going to be pretty crucial in terms of how you’re perceived by people. So I’m just waiting. – Dominic Monaghan

114388. I’ve always traveled, as a kid my parents moved me around, a different place in Germany every four years. But I got the travel bug when I was a kid, living in different countries. – Dominic Monaghan

114389. My mom and dad just loved the fact that I fooled around. They just embraced it. They’d always kind of enjoy it, and they liked it when I made them laugh. – Dominic Monaghan

114390. I used to get quite upset that I’d make friends with a guy or a girl and then within the space of three years we’d move and go and live somewhere else, and you’d have to say goodbye to that person. – Dominic Monaghan

114391. We’re trying to create people that are going to change the world. – Thomas Monaghan

114398. The House Democrats don’t want Gore humiliated, so they slammed the door of the Capitol in my face. They are cowards. – Christopher Monckton

114399. The Biblical world view sees Earth and its ecosystems as the effect of a wise God’s creation and… therefore robust, resilient, and self-regulating, like the product of any good engineer. – Christopher Monckton

114400. I am convinced that policies meant to reduce alleged carbon dioxide-induced global warming will be destructive. – Christopher Monckton

114407. I don’t want to spend the next two years in Holiday Inns. – Walter F. Mondale

114408. I said I didn’t want to spend most of my life in Holidays Inns, but I’ve checked and they’ve all been redecorated. They’re marvelous places to stay and I’ve thought it over and that’s where I’d like to be. – Walter F. Mondale

114409. If you are sure you understand everything that is going on, you are hopelessly confused. – Walter F. Mondale

114410. In our system, at about 11:30 on election night, they just push you off the edge of the cliff-and that’s it. You might scream on the way down, but you’re going to hit the bottom, and you’re not going to be in elective office. – Walter F. Mondale

114958. I shared guitars before I actually got one of my own and played a guy’s Silver tone and played another guys Danelectro 12 string and it was at about age 17 that I actually started playing. – Ronnie Montrose
