Ian Mckellen

The most likely explanation is the most practical. 'Macbeth' is a very popular play with audiences. If you want to sell out a theater, just mount a production of 'Macbeth'. It's a short play, it's an exciting play, it's easy to understand, and it attracts great acting.

Cecelia Ahern

You never forget about things you've done that you know you shouldn't have done. They hang around your mind, linger like a thief casing a joint for a future job. You see them there, dramatically lurking nearby in striped monochrome, leaping behind postboxes as soon as your head whips around to confront them. Or it's a familiar face in a crowd that you glimpse but then lose sight of. An annoying Where's Wally? forever locked away and hidden in every thought in your conscience. The bad thing that you did, always there to let you know.

Carrie Fisher

I don't want to be caught ... ashamed of anything. And because generally someone who has bipolar doesn't have just bipolar, they have bipolar, and they have a life and a job and a kid and a hat and parents, so its not your overriding identity, it's just something that you have, but not the only thing - even if it's quite a big thing.

Tom Rathbun

We need something that's going to work for the Appalachian states; any place there was mining before the 1970s, there's a real need for reclamation. And that money still only cleans up higher-priority sites; it doesn't even touch on all the non-coal quarries in need of reclamation.

Siddharta Moersjid

Mining and milling operations have been temporarily suspended as a precautionary measure. The Indonesian authorities are working to resolve the situation in a peaceful and expeditious manner.

We took a piece of property that was getting $800 a year in (real estate) taxes. Now we're paying $17,000 a year. We think it's ridiculous, but what are you going to do?

Jennifer Connelly

I'm so happy in the projects that I'm able to make, to be involved in projects like this. This isn't always where it was at for me, I started working when I was a kid. I'm just a different person now, I'm 30. I started working when I was 11 and it's a different ballgame.

In the 21st century, you have to use technology as one of the tools in the toolkit to bring about social change.

Ashton Kutcher

The bigger thing with bitcoin is not bitcoin itself, but what does that decentralized technology really do?

Ashton Kutcher

The film industry brings people together, and so does technology. I see them as similar platforms.

Ashton Kutcher

I really think that technology has the greatest potential to accelerate happiness of most things in the world. The companies that will ultimately do well are the companies that chase happiness. If you find a way to help people find love, or health or friendship, the dollar will chase that.

David Ricardo

The farmer and manufacturer can no more live without profit than the labourer without wages.

William Shakespeare

Your praises will become your wages.

William Shakespeare

Our praises are our wages.

Benjamin Harrison

There never has been a time in our history when work was so abundant or when wages were as high, whether measured by the currency in which they are paid or by their power to supply the necessaries and comforts of life.

Jared Bernstein

We are in the midst of a protracted wage slump, ... a troubling trend that is largely going unnoticed by policymakers.

Raising the minimum wage isn't just pro-worker; it's pro-economic growth.
