Doug E. Fresh

Life, Music, Best

To me, writing is much freer than dancing. With writing, you could do it whenever you wanted. You didn't have to do little exercises and stay in shape. You could have great moments of inspiration that advanced the story. In dance, unless you're going to choreograph things yourself, you're at the service of someone else.
Lorrie Moore

Great, Yourself, Someone

I always think I know the way a novel will go. I write maps on oversized art pads like the kind I carried around in college when I was earnest about drawing.

Julianna Baggott

Truth, Art, Confidence

Sick, Wrong, Able

Mario Lemieux

Good, Long, Feeling

It doesn't really exist; it's just basically lots of different stages between the two pieces, and you end up with, like, a third shape that doesn't exist but is suggested to you by the image.
Sean Booth

End, Different, Two

Generally students are the best vehicles for passing on ideas, for their thoughts are plastic and can be molded and they can adjust the ideas of old men to the shape of reality as they find it in villages and hills of China or in ghettos and suburbs of America.
Theodore White

Men, Best, Reality

Asa Gray

Life, Whole, Existence

Time, Again, Off

Boxing, Took, Crying

Woman, Body, Physique

Faye Dunaway

Life, Mother, Passion

Dolph Lundgren

Great, Working, Else

Music is so 100 percent for me that the idea of giving that up in any way, shape, or form would be terrifying to me.
Josh Groban

Music, Giving, Idea

Now where there are no parts, there neither extension, nor shape, nor divisibility is possible. And these monads are the true atoms of nature and, in a word, the elements of things.
Gottfried Leibniz

Nature, True, Word

It's like going to the gym everyday. It really is. I work hard on my craft, I sweat a little bit, I run a little bit, I might sprain an ankle every now and them, but it's all good and the more you do it, the more in shape you are and it's like a machine.
Nia Long

Work, Good, Hard

Appearance, Confident

I happen to be extremely left-brained; my instinct is to draw a chart rather than a picture. I'm trying to get my right-brain muscles into shape. I actually think this shift toward right-brain abilities has the potential to make us both better off and better in a deeper sense.
Daniel H. Pink

Happen, Trying, Sense
