(when asked by Chris Matthews if what thought about Whoopi Goldberg`s remarks at a John Kerry fundraiser that resulted in her being fired as a spokesman for SlimFast) I wasn`t there. I went to the Los Angeles fundraiser. I wasn`t in the one in New York. I think when you have somebody -- you know, if you did a rock concert that was a benefit and The Who played their music or The Rolling Stones, you`d expect to get, you know, "Satisfaction" or "My Generation." When you hire Whoopi Goldberg, you`re going to get her brand of humor. And I think there is a fine line, and you have to be a little bit mindful. And I, for one, am not going to do any scatological jokes or puns about the president`s last name on your show, mostly for that reason. But I also think I expect a different code of behavior maybe from comedians who have made a career with a certain kind of comedy than I do from, oh, say, the Vice President of the United States (referring to Vice President [Dick Cheney, who told Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy to "Go fuck yourself" on the floor of the Senate), who used this vulgar language, you know, to a senator and was sort of unapologetic about it. So I think the Republicans hitting her (Whoopi) too hard for that is a little bit hypocritical.
- Ben Affleck(on the sudden fame that resulted after Empire of the Sun (1987)) I enjoyed making the film, but I was shocked when I received all the attention when I got home to Bournemouth. Girls were all over me, boys wanted to fight me, and I was being asked to open local fêtes when all I wanted to do was ride my BMX bike in the woods. I told my parents I wasn`t interested in doing anything again because the attention ruined it.
- Christian Bale"Really I must admit,I support feminism as a form of rose tinted optimism. My views on the matter are actually more extreme than feminism. Look, here it is, women are simply functioning at a higher evolutionary phase than men. But, because we would like to beleave in total equality, as feminists we try very hard to convince ourselves that sexism is purely a social construct, and that it`s not really the fault of males themselves, so much as the sexist male dominted culture. I simply can`nt accept the "nurture" theory on this issue. A sexist social envioronmet is indeed a big part of the problem, but the problem goes much deepr. The anti-female mainstreem culture we live under results in cartoonish amplification of pre-existing insecurities that are the result of a genuuine inequality between males and females. Men subconsciously know that women are smarter and more powerfull they are, and this has resulted in a culture of brutish male domination based on male fears. These fears are founded in reality, though pointless. I fully embrace my role as humble servant to the feminine. I hope to lead by example. To show other men it`s ok to be the right hand of the women in our lives. We need to step down, and let women run the show now. They really do know more than we do, and we really should just shut up and listen to them. Women rule and we drool, and it`s ok. So what,we`re not that bright, and we smell, and we are insecure and like to hit eachohter. But if we show any hint of good behavior, or possible evolutionary advancment, women praise and love us for it. In other words, they do`nt and should`nt expect too much out of us, but if we can just stop being so damn wretched and vile and evil all the time, maybe just maybe men can someday be as evolved as women. Maybe, but I`m not holding my breath. I have a copy of "Scum Manifesto" in my library, and it`s not collecting any dust."
- Byron StewartBut I enjoyed getting sick, I didn`t mind it at all. So in that short amount of time, I did actually go from 121 right back up to 180, which is way too fast obviously. And that resulted in some doctors visits to get things sorted out.

- Michael CoxI can`t quite remember a race like this, ... It all started out fine. Our Mr. Gas Dodge was strong and we were making headway, in fact, by Lap 69 we were in the lead. We dropped back to second and then just before the halfway point our troubles began. All of a sudden, we got tagged which resulted in a spin out and, if that wasn`t enough, for some strange reason, it broke the transmission.

- Arlene S. Hall(To survive has required tenacity. Koreans are reported even to have murdered children and mixed their flesh with pork to eat. When I have encountered North Korean refugees in Asia, they look barely human - stunted figures with sallow, terrified faces. Some North Koreans have tried to grow their own food, potentially a sign of independent thinking. But for years Kim had them stopped, though he has begun to open the economy slightly in the past three years. Those who protested were sent to an extensive gulag system, which may have resulted in the deaths of one million people. In this internal slave state, Becker suggests, tests of chemical weapons are carried out on prisoners, and pregnant women whose children were tainted with foreign blood have been forced to have abortions.
