Rupert Grint

Time, Hard, Find

To some, a cap-and-trade system might sound like a neat approach where the market sorts everything out. But in fact, in some ways it is worse than a tax. With a tax, the costs are obvious.

Bjorn Lomborg

Everything, Around, Reason

If I see myself on a worst-dressed list - and I've been on many of them - I tend to have low self esteem for 24 hours. I just like to feel comfortable, and I like being excited about whatever it is I'm wearing. I hate subjecting myself to that kind of criticism!
Busy Philipps

Hate, Self, Whatever

More than anything else I recall being, or trying very deliberately to be, a perfect child. Not a Goody Two-shoes, but a kid who did good, who worked hard and met every expectation. I strove to achieve in the excessive way that psychotherapists tend to regard with concern.

Good, Hard, Trying

Gail Porter

Everything, Overdo

Karen Russell

Work, Humor, Care

Denise Mina

Different, Bored, Through
