I was not depressed when they got me out. I have always taken my dismissals as part of the game.

Still, I believe it is only a passing phase and cricket will one day produce an abundance of great players.

It is amazing how the public steadfastly refuse to attend the third day of a match when so often the last day produces the best and most exciting cricket.

We always had to play the game and play for the team. It is a Kent tradition.

It was never a policy of the Kent team that the pitch must be occupied all day after winning the toss.

I don't think I ever worked harder at any match during my career to get runs as I did then, nor did I ever have to face in one game such consistently fast bowlers as the Australian pair, Gregory and McDonald.

Square cuts which ordinarily would have flashed to the boundary earned only two, and I believe that those two innings would have been worth 150 apiece in a county match.

I was not depressed when they got me out. I have always taken my dismissals as part of the game.

In the old days we were probably educated in cricket in a far more serious way than now.

Those were the great days when plenty of amateurs could spare time for cricket.

I cannot let this opportunity pass without placing on record how much I have enjoyed my cricket with Kent.

Lots of times I was out through forcing the game.

Always smile back at little children. To ignore them is to destroy their belief that the world is good.

Girls read a boy book, but boys don't necessarily want to read a girl book.

It's always the girl comedy and the guy comedy. It bums me out. You'd think there'd be a progression, from James L. Brooks and Nora Ephron into more subtle humor and behavior and psychology. All these interesting things people can learn about themselves by watching talented writers comment intelligently on someone else's emotional life.

My worst memory is of my first dance lesson as a 14-year old in Prague. My mother put me in this silver and pink lame dress. My hair was all curled, and it was the first time I wore a garter belt. I felt so out of place!

As we get more transparent with data sets about infrastructure and systems management, I have a feeling we'll see big changes in how we think about complexity and our relationship to our actions.

I never make notes; just a few small details when I'm writing, but nothing much. The plot is never written down. I will tell the story to myself, but I won't plan it. I'll speak the narrative in my head for a while.

There is always a point when one senses one's lack of skill, the doubt.

The old rules and the old methods of winning are gone.

I was discovered by Paul Marciano of Guess when I was actually, like, two years old. And so I started with Baby Guess; I did Guess Kids, and then I stopped because I was a really competitive horseback rider and a club volleyball player. I went to Junior Olympic qualifiers for volleyball. So, I kind of stopped modeling.

Also, because people like to multitask, in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it, then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise, but leave your brain free to do something else.

An infant always learns. The less we interfere with the natural process of learning the more we can observe how much infants learn all the time.

I usually have one project I'm focusing on but often have many other projects in the back of my mind for several years.

That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.

I had a bad conscience until I discovered that having a bad conscience about something so gravely serious as leaving your children is an affectation, a way of achieving a little suffering that can't for a moment be equal to the suffering you've caused.

I joke that the Olympics is the warm-up to the Paralympics.

When I was a young comic just starting out, I was very cautious, as I didn't want to alienate people. George Carlin's bravery became a benchmark. I became perfectly fine with alienating some people in the audience. That just comes with the territory.

Anyone can be falsely accused of a crime. Everyone accused of a crime deserves a fair trial.

The merger mania which goes on and on and on is the sign of the disappearance of competition. As we deregulate, the mergers increase, which means there's less and less competition. At the national level, at the regional level, but also at the international level.

I try to go to my parents' house as much as I can. No matter how busy we are as a family, we always make that time to have that 'family together' day because we want to. You can't let work and life get in the way of spending time together.

Time the great destroyer of other men's happiness, only enlarges the patrimony of literature to its possessor.

A lot of great people come to Facebook. In our business, we're about how do we help connect our companies to great people across all levels.

I would support requiring an eligibility certificate for long-gun purchases because a permit gives the impression that someone could carry it loaded outside the home. That's not what we want to do.

If you really want to torture me, sit me in a room strapped to a chair and put Mariah Carey's records on.

I am much interested and honoured by what you tell me of C. S. Lewis.
