The day in 2004 when the radiologist told me I had invasive cancer I walked down the hospital corridor looking for a phone to call my husband and I could almost see the fear coming toward me like a big black shadow.

More than fantasy or even science fiction Ray Bradbury wrote horror and like so many great horror writers he was himself utterly without fear of anything. He wasn't afraid of looking uncool - he wasn't scared to openly love innocence or to be optimistic or to write sentimentally when he felt that way.

I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking what I'm looking at what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.

It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I fear but the pale and the hungry-looking.

At the time when this famous historical battle was fought in Kosovo the people were looking at the stars expecting aid from them. Now six centuries later they are looking at the stars again waiting to conquer them.

I love meeting famous people. I'm even happy just looking at them.

I think anybody who's famous has to deal with their fame in their own way and I dealt with it by making a film about a kid who's looking out into the world of celebrity obsession.

I wanted to go hide. I wasn't looking to be more famous I'm famous enough.

The whole 'American Idol' way of looking at things is the antithesis of what I grew up with. There are a whole lot of kids wanting to be famous now whereas if I'd even mentioned that word to one of my teachers I would have got into a whole load of trouble.

If you see a black family it's looting but if it's a white family they are looking for food.

I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they're looting if you see a white family it says they're looking for food.

In the past 40 years the United States lost more than a million farmers and ranchers. Many of our farmers are aging. Today only nine percent of family farm income comes from farming and more and more of our farmers are looking elsewhere for their primary source of income.

The practice of patience toward one another the overlooking of one another's defects and the bearing of one another's burdens is the most elementary condition of all human and social activity in the family in the professions and in society.

If one is desperate for love I suggest looking at one's friends and family and see if love is all around. If not get a new set of friends a new family.

I'll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family together all of us laughing and talking loving and understanding not looking at the past but only to the future.

Let those who still in their youth have preserved their faith and fullness of hope keep looking up.

Yes we were looking for a Faith spin-off but then Faith backed down. Eliza got a really wonderful offer over on Fox in a show and for reasons I didn't talk to her about she decided to go there and everyone respects that.

Well you have to keep your faith in the fact that there are a lot of intelligent people who are actively looking for something interesting people who have been disappointed so many times.

I don't need to be looking at every failure of government I need to be looking where failure of government needs reform.

We feel a lot of pressure about looking silly or appearing weak whatever that means or being a failure. You have to keep in your head: what's the worst that can happen?

Now having had this experience I can't say really what they were looking for. I don't know their minds. But every time I see a reality show it seems that the most entertaining parts on other reality shows are when they make their guests look foolish.

With a lot of films people are sitting on the outside looking in but I want the audience to get a bit more intimately involved with what's going on so that they maybe can experience it a little bit more intensely.

It was a great experience for a kid because it was a bunch of kids playing on pirate ships and water slides so looking back on it it was the fondest experience of my childhood.

The impulse to dream was slowly beaten out of me by experience. Now it surged up again and I hungered for books new ways of looking and seeing.
