I love our house in the country. I can walk to the nearby village and have a coffee and no one pays any notice. I`m just another dad with my daughter on my knee. The time I`ve spent in France with (girlfriend Vanessa Paradis) has solidified my belief that I can keep a major distance from Hollywood and still keep in the game. Acting is my living, but I don`t want to live it. Living in France is the first time I can honestly say I feel at home.
- Johnny DeppI started writing because I used to tell stories to the children who lived nearby and when I was six I started writing them down. I write poetry and plays, too, and writing is important to me. It is important for me to express my feelings and thoughts. If I`m feeling angry or wonderful or upset or happy I just write it out and reread the feelings over and over again. When I`m depressed I read something I wrote when I was happy and I can feel a great lift in my spirits. I love writing!

- Taryn Manning(On Ace in the Hole (1951)) I was attacked by every paper because of that movie. They loathed it. It was cynical, they said. Cynical, my ass. I tell you, you read about a plane crash somewhere nearby and you want to check out the scene, you can`t get to it because ten thousand people are already there: they`re picking up little scraps, ghoulish souvenir hunters. After I read those horrifying reviews about "Ace in the Hole", I remember I was going down Wilshire Boulevard and there was an automobile accident. Somebody was run over. I stopped my car. I wanted to help that guy who was run over. Then another guy jumps out of his car and photographs the thing. "You`d better call an ambulance," I said. "Call a doctor, my ass. I`ve got to get to the L.A. Times. I`ve got a picture. I`ve got to move. I just took a picture here. I`ve got to deliver it." But you say that in a movie, and the critics think you`re exaggerating."

- Steve Bell(For Tracy Shaw of Southbury, Connecticut, life wouldn`t be the same without her Wednesday night supper club (she and three other families from her daughter`s daycare center take turns cooking meals), a reasonably priced handyman, a support group called Parents Without Partners, a circle of friends, and reliable babysitters.)

Without some help, I would have a tough time maintaining a balanced life.
- Tracy ShawThe soundtrack to `Indecent Exposure` is a romantic mix of music that I know most women love to hear, so I never keep it far from me when women are nearby.
- Fabio Lanzoni(Ms. Green, 37, has published six other books, which are targeted at female readers and have together sold more than a million copies, according to her publisher.

- Andrei GaidamakaThe hotel benefits from its position in the mixed-use environment as it can serve the neighboring businesses in addition to the corporate traveler seeking a location that is both close to the airport and to downtown. Leisure travelers are drawn to the nearby gulf coast beaches, golf courses, recreation facilities and sporting venues.
- Anne Herbert(And lurking at a concession stand nearby is the debate of whether there are enough footballs to keep all of the receivers happy.) That`s on the quarterback, ... Ask Joey. Joey`s got to spread (it) around.... All I can do is get open.

- Arnold ZetcherTell your agent to give you a list of nearby properties that have sold recently, along with the final sum they yielded at closing. Then take that list, get in your car and drive by these homes, noting how they compare with your own. This should take no more than 30 to 60 minutes.
