"I`ve tried several disguises and stuff but that doesn`t work. I do get recognised sometimes but it`s cool,"

- Rupert Grint

When the picture was over, it was like it had never happened. I returned to school and by the time it was in theatres I`d changed a lot so I wasn`t even recognised much. So, when I was, it was always a nice experience because people like `Charlie`. He`s a nice kid. My parents told me to look on it as an experience, which is what I did....My mom and dad were not at all stage parents. They made sure I had a clear choice about what I did for a living. I`m really grateful to them because being a veterinarian is very gratifying.

Before the US (2006) mid-term elections, my rabbi was taking a lot of flak. The congregation is exclusive-liberal, yet he is a self-described independent (read "conservative") and he was driving the flock wild. Why? Because a) he never discussed politics; and b) he taught that the quality of political discourse must be addressed first; that Jewish law teaches that it is incumbent upon one to hear the other fellow out. `So I, like many of the liberal congregation, began - teeth grinding - to attempt to do so. And in doing so I recognised that I held two views of America. `One was of a state where everything was magically wrong and must be immediately corrected at any cost; and the other (the world in which I actually functioned day to day) was made up of people who were in the main reasonably trying to maximise their comfort by getting along with one another (in the workplace, the marketplace, the jury room, even the school meeting). `And I realised that the time had come for me to avow my participation in the country in which I chose to live - and that this country was not a schoolroom teaching values, but a marketplace.

- Rocco Siffredi

You don`t have to be rich and famous. You just have to be an ordinary person, doing extraordinary things. I`d like more people to know that it`s there. Women`s achievements still aren`t recognised enough in many areas.

- Joan Armatrading

I don`t like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

Sometimes he caught himself listening to the sound of his own voice. He thought that in her eyes he would ascent to an angelical stature; and, as he attached the fervent nature of his companion more and more closely to him, he heard the strange impersonal voice which he recognised as his own, insisting on the soul`s incurable lonliness. We cannot give ourselves, it said: we are our own.
