Gary Oldman

Yourself, Play, Impossible

The irony is that it was tougher to rent a car from Cerberus when it owned Alamo than to buy a semi-automatic. To rent a car, one had to provide ID, a drivers' license, and get insurance coverage.

Eliot Spitzer

Here, Violence, Makes

Carrie Underwood

Girl, Help, Real

America is an idea. And it's the solemn responsibility of each 'temporary' president to protect and nurture that noblest of all ideas - with integrity.

Jennifer Granholm

Experience, Integrity, Words

We carry stores of DNA in our nuclei that may have come in, at one time or another, from the fusion of ancestral cells and the linking of ancestral organisms in symbiosis. Our genomes are catalogues of instructions from all kinds of sources in nature, filed for all kinds of contingencies.
Lewis Thomas

Nature, Time, May

The important thing isn't the house. It's the ability to make it. You carry that in your brains and in your hands, wherever you go... It's one thing to carry your life wherever you go. Another thing to always go looking for it somewhere else.
Barbara Kingsolver

Life, Important, Else

Most of the models have this thing I call slouchy sexy, not only in the way they dress, but in the way carry themselves. I don't think they would look hot in one of my dresses. They are more into A. Wang. Most of my clothes are nerdy sexy.

Sexy, Themselves, Call

Jane Fonda

Movies, Father, Try

Beyonce Knowles

Family, God, Important
