There are a couple of projects that are sort of on the plate; I haven't closed any of them yet. I'm trying to figure out which one is going to be the best one for me.

No, I've never played baseball in my life.

No, I was going to college and got discovered.

Best thing that's happened this year? Maybe Hostel. It was a great experience. I loved it.

I would say being in that institution - that psyche ward, or whatever it was. That was really creepy because it was a real place from like the early 1900s.

I grew up in LA. I sort of watched the Raiders play and that sort of thing.

We're not in high school anymore and we've had a little more life experiences to help us better understand what were going through in terms of stardom and recognition.

It's always challenging to go into a role.

Some of the material out there - I don't want to say that it's all bad - but there's a lot of bad stuff out there. You just continue reading scripts, and eventually you find something you connect with.

I'd heard about Texas football and how much of a religion it is, but to go to Odessa and experience it first-hand is something different than just hearing about it.

For me, I think that I don't like feeling pressure from outside sources. I'd rather put the pressure on myself and push myself to do it as good as I can.

I'm pretty athletic and I play basketball a lot.

I hope for my children, and for all Mexicans, that they can be proud to be Mexican, proud of their heritage, and proud that they have a peaceful, inclusive, vibrant country that is playing a role in the world.

One could always do more, faster and cleverer, but democracy has its own rhythm.

To be sure, ASPM isn't the gene responsible for building big brains - there's no such single gene. But it's critical to the process, and the primate line has almost certainly benefited from distinct changes in ASPM.

From the time I was 16, I wanted to live in Paris. When I graduated college and didn't have a job, I went to take the LSAT because I didn't know what else to do. I walked out in the middle of the test and eventually found an internship in Paris at L'Oreal.

Small businesses no longer need to feel like a deer in the headlights when considering constructing or updating their Web sites. With ClickThings what you see is what you get, unlike some other competitive Web-based Website building tools.

I have a certain image that's more classic, and I'm happy to stay out of the fray.

Picasso's superhuman gift for draftsmanship might have made him lazy about pursuing the full potential of color. It was not unusual for him to build a composition by first outlining figures and objects in black and then filling the interstices in a perfunctory manner that can put one in mind of a museum-shop coloring book.

Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just dont care.

Do you agree with me that we can't afford four more years of Barack Obama?

Although I don't take myself very seriously, I do take my work extraordinarily seriously.

I probably use my chef's knives more than any other tool in the kitchen. I'm not married to a particular brand, because they all work, they all have sharp blades.

A compelling story, even if factually inaccurate, can be more emotionally compelling than a dry recitation of the truth.

For the most part, the first thing people I meet that aren't Mormon say is, 'I grew up with a Mormon family. They're the nicest people I know.' So when I see these statistics that it's the most hated religion, I don't know where they're getting that from.

It wasn't until 'Thor' that I started lifting weights. It was all pretty new to me.

There are two ways to look at how life works and how people find their paths. One way is you take your time and try different things out. The other is you settle in early. I was into cooking very early.

Music has always been profoundly important to me.

I'm so in love, every time I look at you my soul gets dizzy.

I'm always nervous doing auditions - to be honest, I hate it. I always envy the actors who are so cool and cold-blooded when they go in for an audition, especially if it's for a part that you would really love to play.

As an Egyptian, I was always frustrated, just like many young Egyptians, of the situation in the country. And to a large extent, we didn't know what could we do. And looking at Khaled's photo after his death; basically I just felt that we are all Khaled Said.

I was always brought up that if you can make a difference, you should, and if you don't it's a waste. So we'll see if I can make a difference.
