It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated...it is finished when it surrenders.
Ben Stein
If you would have asked me what I thought of America before I came over here I would have used the word `corny`. And then you come over here and you find that it`s not corny at all. British people are very cynical, they cannot bear someone else`s success....
Simon Cowell
Before I go to sleep I read up on items for the next day`s show. Ozzy`s already lying there snoring. It`s crazy, but he still wanted to have sex the first week he came out of intensive care! He`s a nutter, but I love him!
Sharon Osbourne
I wouldn`t wish divorce on my worst enemy. It`s just a lousy thing to go through. I disagree with people who say `oh, its a good time now we can get divorced.` There`s no good time to get divorced. It stinks, it`s a lousy thing.
Emeril Lagasse
I was brought to believe that the female form is a beautiful thing. I think it`s not so much what you do but how you do it that matters. I don`t think I`ve done anything that was exploitative. (December 2007)
Padma Lakshmi
I went to the University of Arizona. I stopped because I went there for two years and I felt like I experienced college or whatever. I`m over it. I like Hollywood better.
Nicole Richie

Giada De Laurentiis
For a lot of people, divorce is traumatic, but for us, it made for a happier family. It was miserable to watch people live together who shouldn`t.
Rachael Ray
I do love to shop. But I`m a social shopper. I like to do it while hanging out with my friends. Some of them hate shopping because they treat it like something you have to plan, like a grocery list. But if I`m out and I pass a store, I just pop in.
Nicole Richie
[Asked if he feels guilty about what he says to the American Idol contestants] "No, what I am doing is kind by telling people who are useless `Do something that you`re good at`. So I would only feel guilt if I misled somebody who was terrible."
Simon Cowell
Some of my friends and people in the art world, including women, say they admire my body. I am proud of my body. Some compare it to the Chola bronzes. And they all wonder how I keep myself so fit. (December 2007)
Padma Lakshmi
[on cooking] You do it with your own two hands, so there`s a sense of pride. You really do forget all our problems, because you`re focusing on the food.
Rachael Ray
Staying sober is something that I don`t really even have to think about. I just live my life as today, and today I have great friends, a very stable fiancé, and am very close with my family.
Nicole Richie
They [Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson] loved him. I couldn`t stand him [Taylor Hicks]. I didn`t get it. At the end of the day you have to find a bona fide recording artist. Just because you win the show doesn`t mean you will sell a lot of records. Chris [Da...
