Avoid fruits and nuts. You are what you eat.

There are so many opportunities in life, that the loss of two or three capabilities is not necessarily debilitating. A handicap can give you the opportunity to focus more on art, writing, or music.

Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.

Way down deep, we're all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them.

Good morning is a contradiction of terms.

Avoid fruits and nuts. You are what you eat.

Cats are anthropomorphised in art because they are so laid back that you automatically attribute human thoughts and feelings to them.

Cats rule the world.

I can go everywhere and no one recognises me.

I didn't have a whole lot of success getting dates, I was always a bit of a geek.

I probably get more inspiration for human stories and idiosyncrasies than I do animal stories.

I stop short of being a workaholic.

I thought if I could create a convincing cat I could say and do anything I wanted on the human condition.

I was in and out of comas until I was nine and I would lose entire days and weeks. The novelty of being able to really do stuff hasn't worn off - I still feel like I'm making up for lost time.

I was very happy and honored to create the Professor Garfield Foundation with Ball State to make reading fun.

I'm still a farm boy at heart. If I hadn't suffered from asthma as a child, I would be a farmer today.

My dream in life is to write the one gag that makes everyone in the world laugh.

Readers have told me that their children have learned to read after years of struggle after starting to read Garfield's comic strip and many people who have moved to the United States have said that they, too, learned English by reading Garfield.

The understatement is the English contribution to comedy.

Usually I commit to something in my head and then I start drawing.

When you're through with your cat, you can't throw it in the trash.

You have to do something when you're lying in bed. So you play with your mind.

You'd have to go a long way to find someone who was more proud and grateful for what our veterans have done for all of us.

Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake zucchini bread and pumpkin pie.

He who fills His pockets with the Rocks of Misdeeds shall surely sink in the River of Good Fortune.

Breast implants gross me out. I don't think they're attractive at all.

Working with Kano is cool, too: obviously, he's from the same scene, but we've never worked together on a track before, and where, like, better to do it than on a Gorillaz project?

Adversity happens to everyone and it is not an excuse for abandoning our dreams.

Again two manufacturers may employ the same amount of fixed, and the same amount of circulating capital; but the durability of their fixed capitals may be very unequal.

The films that I really liked and the ones that really blew my mind when I was younger were independent films. They're like great records to me.

One of the most striking things one finds about the child under 7-8 is his extreme assurance on all subjects.

My good films were independent and my bad films were not.

Thanks to a lot of people, not just myself, 'Whale Rider' had an amazing impact emotionally, and people remember it. I count myself very lucky that all those doors were unlocked, I just had to open them.

I do my best work when I feel conviction to say something through the character I play. Always I want to have integrity and not compromise that.

The power of being in the physical presence of another person delivers real benefits.

When you record, you live with what you recorded for many many years, but when you play it's just an hour and a half and then once it's over it's over.

Mark Winchester has left the band. He's decided that he's tired of the road and just wants to concentrate on his career in Nashville. I don't blame him at all. He'll certainly be missed.

To be clear, I abhor the separation wall. It is an eyesore in itself and makes tangible the failed diplomacy and cruel short-sightedness that causes such misery in the region. No Palestinian can see that wall and not wonder if the Israelis mean it to stay there forever, a constant reminder of what they never intend to change.

Venezuela's government must work toward achieving a true culture of democracy for our region. There's no room for persecution based on ideological reasons or for thinking differently.

I don't think of people as black or white. It's a question of are they photogenic or not? I don't think anyone says, 'Let's book her. She's black.' I think they say, 'Let's book her. She's good.' We've come that far.

Golf is assuredly a mystifying game. It would seem that if a person has hit a golf ball correctly a thousand times he should be able to duplicate the performance at will. But such is certainly not the case.

It's hard to be a son of a candidate. It's hard to be a brother of a candidate. I think it may be the hardest thing to be the dad of the candidate.

I was a fairly good amateur musician, and I was an average professional. But the one thing I saw was that the big band business was fading.

I think the more we embrace the culture of life and respect life, the better that we do.

The end of the trial and the 'not guilty' verdicts on all counts, clearing Michael of all charges, mean that he can now concentrate on the future and his art.

I just love singing, songwriting and touring.

We live a pretty real life within our Hollywood selves. I'm not working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, by any means.

China is a developing country with a huge population, and also a developing country in a crucial stage of reform. In this context, China still faces many challenges in economic and social development. And a lot still needs to be done in China, in terms of human rights.

We can write the book on how to run a successful write-in campaign for the United States Senate.
