Imelda May

In 2008, I was in a London park when I came across a fledgling crow that had fallen from the top of an oak tree.

Ismail Kadare

I first came across the script for 'Macbeth' between the ages of 11 and 12; it was the first book that shook my life.

Zoe Kazan

I love to walk around New York. Honestly, that's like the best thing, to walk over to Park Slope and go visit my friend Betty and take her dog out in the park or go walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. I really dig being outside and getting to see everybody in the street.

The overall trend for Arnold Schwarzenegger is favorable, but there are a lot of people still in play.
