Tim Ryan
For me, I never want anyone outside of my immediate family and outside of me to have the power to alter the way that I walk, talk, shop, or date.

Romany Malco

Mario Batali
If I pull in a fish I have no intention of eating, I re

If I pull in a fish I have no intention of eating, I release him immediately or give it away.

Aquariums welcome fish for feeding the dolphins and whales.

Michael Gambon

Charles Bronfman
I feel like I am doing a lot, but if someone asks me what exactly I have accomplished, I don’t know… putting my son to sleep, feeding him, taking care of things in the house amount to a lot of work. But, yes, I haven’t arrested 14 criminals in one day or saved the world or anything of that sort!
Kajol
I live the life of a farmer. I don’t see how I could wear Lagerfeld’s designs while feeding my goats. I have respect for Lagerfeld as a man, but I would have so much more for him if he, in turn, respected animals. We do not live in the same world.
Brigitte Bardot
Far too many well-connected businesses are feeding at the federal trough. By addressing corporate welfare as well as other forms of welfare, we would add a whole new level of understanding to the notion of entitlement reform.

Michael J. Saylor
I do like the thrill of risk-taking, but it’s always carefully calculated. I have done many high risk undertakings, but I have always measured the stakes. Not feeding the fear nor the doubt. But I also believe that you need to fuel passion in whatever you do. This is what I am trying to teach my children today.
Guy Laliberte
Honestly, I really, really love making movies. It’s so much fun, and I love losing myself in the moment and just being there with other actors. When you’re truly in the moment and you’re feeding each other, it’s such an exciting thing to be a part of.

I believe eating well, and with people you love, is abo
