Every three seconds in the developing world, a child dies needlessly due to lack of basic health care and other things we all take for granted.

I once looked over the shoulder of a friend on Facebook and it looked like hieroglyphs to me. There’s merit online, of course, but social media gets super freaky. Imagine if three generations from now,...

Manhattan… capital of the 20th century, a city that has fascinated me for more than three decades.

There could be more to the universe than the three dimensions we are familiar with. They are hidden from us in some way, perhaps because they’re tiny or warped. But even if they’re invisible, they...

If only I was as eloquent as Demosthenes, I would have to do no more than repeat a single word three times.

I find myself changing my entire lifestyle every three years or so, and I’m comfortable in being an outsider. I have grown up like that.

Let’s hope I never end up on a deserted island, because I could never make a decision on which three CDs to take with me.

As awesome as it is to be with a big act and get three catered meals a day and get a dressing room with an actual shower in it, it’s hard sometimes as a new...

I think three or four years ago, people would have said my biggest weakness was that sometimes I was awkward on television, with my stammer, but I think they’d say that much less now.

It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.

Badminton in Beijing is huge – it’s one of their top three sports.

The Stones were always exemplary of one of the best of all rock qualities: tightness. They have always been economical, the opposite of ornamental. Having a very clear idea of what they wanted to say...

Fights with my father were really quite brutal. I would not live his vision. I would not become who he wanted me to be. Everything I did was criticized. I would spend three months drawing...

You can power the entire U.S. vehicle fleet with 73,000 to 145,000 five-megawatt wind turbines. That would take between one and three square kilometers of footprint on the ground.

I have three kids in Britain, and I am there at least once a month.

In the Negro Leagues, we’d play three games a day on the weekends. Then we’d ride the bus and travel to play the next day someplace else. You’d hang your shirt out the bus window...

A writer has a difficult fate, but a Jewish writer has an especially difficult fate. His soul is torn; he lives on two streets with three languages. It is a misfortune to live on this...

Everything feels like you’re in slow motion and everything you do seems like it’s about two or three plays of what everybody else is doing.

I’ve been on the road I think probably three years.

We have almost a city has probably two or three hundred committees. Every committee is dealing with just one problem and has nothing to do with the other problems.

I was a bratty little sister. I was the youngest of three, and I often felt as though I didn’t fit in.

Stand-up came out of three things. Frustration, necessity and arrogance. I didn’t have a great career ahead of me in anything. Someone literally said to me, ‘You should try stand-up,’ and took me to a...

I like radio because you can do an hour-long interview and then three days later have a finished piece.

I’m a big fan of power trios where there’s only three instruments.

That’s great advertising when you can turn Chicago into a city you’d want to spend more than three hours in.

What I learned very quickly is that if you get it right in the first two or three takes, it’s not going to get that much better.

Writing is agony for me. I work at it eight hours every day, hoping to get six pages, but I am satisfied with three.

If someone puts up $100 million on a movie, they’re gonna be concerned about whether they’ll get it back. So they’re not gonna make a movie about three girls, you know?

I’d never heard of the ‘Lord of the Rings’, actually. So I went to the bookstore and there it was, three shelves of books about Tolkien and Middle-earth, and I was like, ‘Holy cow, what...

It would take me three or four lifetimes to do everything I want. I’m a Brooklyn boy who learned to hustle, and I have to do something every day or I get the guilties.

I don’t know, 53 years with the same human being? I can’t be around myself for more than three or four hours before I want to kill everybody.

I was very close to my mother as the youngest of three. She was my playmate.

I’ve only dressed in drag three or four times.

I’m quite a broad girl, not at all delicate. I watch what I eat to stay in shape, but I’m against diets. I eat when I’m hungry, three meals a day.

I don’t have to ask anyone’s permission to do anything. It’s nice not have to get decisions out of three, sometimes four people, which can be like pulling teeth. So the amount of control that...

No one prepared me for the stress and insanity of a week leading up to a movie. Years and years of work come down to three days.

I took three years off. I differentiated myself from the industry. Found my identity – sort of… I haven’t graduated yet. I’m not legitimately educated yet, but maybe one day.

I used to be six foot four. Now that I’m old, I slouch. So, I’m six foot three.

I’ve got nine kids, nine dogs, three grandkids – and one in the oven. And three parrots!

I’ve got a new rule. It’ll be rule No. 312. If it’s three days before a campaign, don’t believe anything new you hear about anybody.

In one day, I got mistaken for three different actresses: Wendy Williams, Sherri Shepherd, and Star Jones.

I was slightly disheartened when three of my films didn’t work at the box-office. But the silver lining is that people did appreciate my work in those films. Had my performance gone unnoticed, I would’ve...

I found that doing Pilates consistently three to four times a week had an amazing effect on really toning and shaping a tight waist and legs.

With journalism, films always have to be to do with some personal statement of your own. As a general rule, I resist that. In the States, a question that kept coming up was this: ‘How...
