34437. My main concern is when it’s 2-0, I’ve got to keep it at 2-0. It gives us a little more of a chance. To give up four more runs, that isn’t going to get it done. I don’t care who you’re facing or who you’re playing, it’s not going to get it done. – Roger Clemens

34445. I love to work with the younger kids who are trying to live out their dreams, if in fact that’s what they plan on doing after college to take the next step. A very select few have that opportunity so when you do have the opportunity you know, those guys take advantage of it. – Roger Clemens

34622. For centuries, New York has served as the gateway for millions of people from all over the world in search of the American dream. It only makes sense that it would now serve as a gateway for the world’s greatest athletes. – Hillary Clinton

34623. Many of you are well enough off that the tax cuts may have helped you. We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good. – Hillary Clinton

34624. No matter what you think about the Iraq war, there is one thing we can all agree on for the next days – we have to salute the courage and bravery of those who are risking their lives to vote and those brave Iraqi and American soldiers fighting to protect their right to vote. – Hillary Clinton

34632. I feel very lucky because of my parents and then my education, the opportunities that I’ve had, so I would like to continue working to improve lives for others. – Hillary Clinton

34633. In almost every profession – whether it’s law or journalism, finance or medicine or academia or running a small business – people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust, we are all worse off for it. – Hillary Clinton

34634. Let’s not leave an educational vacuum to be filled by religious extremists who go to families who have no other option and offer meals, housing and some form of education. If we are going to combat extremism then we must educate those very same children. – Hillary Clinton

34642. I think that we have to be constantly asking ourselves, ‘How do we calculate the risk?’ And sometimes we don’t calculate it correctly; we either overstate it or understate it. – Hillary Clinton

34645. I’m happy to say that I’m a lesbian in the world. I know there are people who don’t want to be called women comedians, but I think it gives a path to the fact that we live in extremely patriarchal times. – Kate Clinton

34646. When my brother-in-law, BIll Clinton, was elected, he had gay friends. That was a coming out. – Kate Clinton

34653. Lesbian humor isn’t trying to sell anything, it doesn’t have to sell out. Coming out as a lesbian onstage is still a very political act; if it weren’t, more women would do it. – Kate Clinton

34654. Lesbians are likely to be drawn to stand-up, if only because it’s cheaper to produce and therefore more accessible for women. But the very form of stand-up is masculine. – Kate Clinton

34655. As you can imagine I’m disappointed as anything that I was not selected to be the presidential running mate. And I find it continually appalling that it would be a radical thing to have a woman on the ticket. – Kate Clinton

34656. I definitely want people to laugh because I don’t think there’s a better feeling – I think it’s just so fabulous to laugh. I don’t mind if people think, either. I think the brain is a very sexy organ. – Kate Clinton

34657. I try something new every night. It’s an hour show; if it works I maybe try it a few more times and then move that off and try something new. It’s a great workshop for me. – Kate Clinton

34658. I want to host a religious show. I’m sure nobody will be wanting the 11 o’clock spot on Sunday morning. I think we should really get some of our own preachers and preach that gay is good. And we’d have a great choir. – Kate Clinton

34659. I’m really happy that I was raised Catholic because it’s given me years of material. – Kate Clinton

34660. A friend of mine said, no matter what I do I always look like an English teacher. She actually said, you still look like a Campbell’s Soup kid. – Kate Clinton

34666. There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America. – William J. Clinton

34667. Saddam Hussein didn’t kill 3,100 people on Sept. 11. Osama bin Laden did, and as far as we know he’s still alive. – William J. Clinton

34669. Well, first of all, I think that a lot of the voters who are voting for the tea party candidates have really good impulses. That is, they believe that for years and years and years, the people with wealth and power or government power have done well and ordinary people have not. That’s true. – William J. Clinton

34670. When I think about the world I would like to leave to my daughter and the grandchildren I hope to have, it is a world that moves away from unequal, unstable, unsustainable interdependence to integrated communities – locally, nationally and globally – that share the characteristics of all successful communities. – William J. Clinton

34673. You can put wings on a pig, but you don’t make it an eagle. – William J. Clinton

34674. You know, everybody makes mistakes when they are president. – William J. Clinton

34685. I don’t believe you can find any evidence of the fact that I have changed government policy solely because of a contribution. – William J. Clinton

34699. The hardest thing is trying not to correct everything on the Internet. It’d be night and day – wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. So you just have to say, ‘All right, I’ll take it, bring it on.’ – George Clooney

34700. The idea that every time you do a film you’re supposed to be tortured confuses me. I mean, guys who say, ‘Oh, it’s really tough, my character is really suffering’ -come on. For us, even in the rotten ones we’ve had a good time. I don’t think you have to suffer. – George Clooney

34701. The last real movie stars were probably Redford and Newman. And things were different then. There wasn’t this amazing amount of magazines and information about them. – George Clooney

34702. The only failure is not to try. – George Clooney

34703. The problem is, we elected a manager and we need a leader. Let’s face it: Bush is just dim. – George Clooney

34706. There’s no connection between al-Qaeda and Iraq. – George Clooney

34707. They say I was a bad Batman, that it was my fault, that I buried the franchise. But the truth is, it was a big project. I was pretty intimidated in that world. I did the best I could in the situation I was given. – George Clooney

34708. We’re picking on people we can beat. – George Clooney

34709. When you’re young you believe it when people tell you how good you are. And that’s the danger, you inhale. Everyone will tell you you’re a genius, which you are not, and if you understand that, you win. – George Clooney

34710. Who would name their kid Jack with the last words ‘off’ at the end of the last name? No wonder that guy is screwed up. – George Clooney

34711. You make a lot of films, do you? You make a lot of films yourself? Yeah, I’d like to see you make a film first before you get to talk about it. What a jerk. – George Clooney

34712. I grew up in the world of bad television, on my dad’s sets and then as a young schmuck on dating shows and so on. – George Clooney

34713. It’s incredibly unfair. You don’t see a lot of 60-year-old women with 20-year-old men onscreen. – George Clooney

34714. You have only a short period of time in your life to make your mark, and I’m there now. – George Clooney

34716. I’ve been lucky enough to do a few films that will last longer than an opening weekend and those films are the ones I’m proud of. – George Clooney

34717. I love children and I get along with them great. It’s just that I believe if you’re going to be a parent, there has to be something inside you that says, ‘I want a family.’ I don’t feel that sense of urgency. – George Clooney

34718. America can’t beat anyone anymore. – George Clooney

34719. But I’m kind of comfortable with getting older because it’s better than the other option, which is being dead. So I’ll take getting older. – George Clooney

34720. I bought a piano once because I had the dream of playing As Time Goes By as some girl’s leaning on it drinking a martini. Great image. But none of it worked out. I can’t even play Chopsticks. But I’ve got a nice piano at my house! – George Clooney

34721. I don’t believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It’s a mean thing, life. – George Clooney

34722. I don’t care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association. He deserves whatever anyone says about him. – George Clooney

34724. I’m not smart enough and I don’t know enough about what’s going on. – George Clooney

34731. I’d think,’In a relationship, we should never have his kind of fight.’ Then, instead of figuring out how to make it work, I looked for a way to get out of it. The truth is, you shouldn’t be married if your that kind of person. – George Clooney

34732. I was watching ‘Up In The Air’ and I thought, ‘Jesus, who’s the old gray-haired guy?’ And it was me. I never wear makeup for movies and now it’s starting to show. – George Clooney

34767. I loved downers, almost any kind. Loved the colors of them. Loved them yellow… I did. I would just have a bouquet in my hands at night. – Rosemary Clooney

34768. I just would like to keep singing. As soon as I’m not singing well, I hope that I know it, so that I can get off the stage and leave what I have done. I hope I’ll know, and if I don’t, I hope somebody tells me. – Rosemary Clooney

34769. I felt trapped and fabricated in the fifties living up to other people’s expectations. – Rosemary Clooney

34773. You know, the way art history is taught, often there’s nothing that tells you why the painting is great. The description of a lousy painting and the description of a great painting will very much sound the same. – Chuck Close

34774. Sometimes I really want to paint somebody and I don’t get a photograph that I want to work from. – Chuck Close

34792. It puts you in a kind of a strange situation where everybody is looking at every little thing you do. – Glenn Close

34793. It’s gotten out of control. It’s taking bigger and bigger names to make smaller and smaller films. I worry that important films without a big name attached won’t get made at all. – Glenn Close

34794. It’s not good to be in a situation where people don’t want to direct you or don’t want to question something. – Glenn Close

34795. The best thing I have is the knife from Fatal Attraction. I hung it in my kitchen. It’s my way of saying, Don’t mess with me. – Glenn Close

34796. I’m an actor, that’s my contribution. – Glenn Close

34797. There’s something about a catharsis that is very important. – Glenn Close

34798. I’ve been sacrificing my life for my work for 30 years, and now I want it the other way around. I want to find work that fits into my life and that would be based here. – Glenn Close

34801. When they tested Fatal Attraction, the audiences were so upset by her behavior, they literally demanded her blood. – Glenn Close

34802. With the hugely talented women I’ve worked with or observed, it’s not a question about temperament or ego; it’s a question about getting it right. If they’ve got a reputation for being difficult it’s usually because they just don’t suffer fools. – Glenn Close

34803. You have to love the characters you play, even if no one else does. – Glenn Close

34804. There are a lot of big spec houses now all across Connecticut, a lot of ostentatious showing of wealth. – Glenn Close

34805. I don’t like public venues. I never know what to wear. – Glenn Close

34806. Acting, to me, is about the incredible adventure of examining the landscape of human heart and soul. That’s basically what we do. – Glenn Close
