Rose George	What they have done in Japan, which I find so inspirational, is they've brought the toilet out from behind the locked door. They've made it conversational. People go out and upgrade their toilet. They talk about it. They've sanitized it.	102

Skylar Grey	Your personal life, your professional life, and your creative life are all intertwined. I went through a few very difficult years where I felt like a failure.

Stephen Mangan	I had an inspirational teacher at my junior school: Peter Nixon. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and slightly scary - a good combination for a teacher.	102
Carly Schroeder	I think that's a great opportunity, to pick a script where you can build up a good skill. I think the main thing I look for when I look at scripts is if it's inspirational.

Lydia Lunch	If someone says 'grunge' or 'punk,' you know what the sound is, but if you say 'No Wave,' it's kind of mysterious.

Reggie Watts	I think the end goal, hopefully, is to take advantage of the attention I've gotten along the way and use it for good and build some communities, and as I get older I can continue to do things and be surrounded by things that are inspirational to me.	103

Thomas Kincade	I view art as an inspirational tool.	103

Don Everly	I wrote '('Til) I Kissed You' about a girl I met in Australia. Her name was Lilian, and she was very, very inspirational. I was married, but... I wrote the song about her on the way back home.	103
Junipero Serra	I pray God may preserve your health and life many years.	103

Cara Delevingne	I really think that it's disgusting that Paris is the only place where it is illegal for paps to follow you around. It actually took someone losing their life - Diana, an inspirational woman - and then it changed, but they still won't change it in London! It's horrible!	104
Carol Burnett	When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go.	104

Max Lucado	You change your life by changing your heart.	104
Noel Gallagher	I don't dislike rappers or hip-hop or people who like it. I went to the Def Jam tour in Manchester in the '80s when rap was inspirational. Public Enemy were awesome. But it's all about status and bling now, and it doesn't say anything to me.	104
Prince Royce	When I was working at the Sprint store, I got laid off. I was bummed out, but I stayed positive. I used the money I had earned while working there to make my first album. Without that job, maybe 'Corazon Sin Cara' would never had been made. It's a very inspirational story.	104
Smokey Robinson	So I wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how I approached it - only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with God.	104
Thomas Fuller	Great hopes make great men.	104
Wallace Stevens	The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.	104
Yaya Han	I think 'Heroes of Cosplay' will show a lot of the positive things, like how much effort it takes to make a costume. These people on the show aren't taking shortcuts. As long as that effort gets through to the viewers, we will be inspirational. Then there will be people who watch the show that want to get in and hands-on make outfits.	104
Amy Sedaris	Books are challenging and inspirational to me.	104
Conor Maynard	I would probably work with Drake as he is massively inspirational to me as a writer as well as an artist. If not him, then Susan Boyle!	104

Steve Sabol	Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It's part ballet. It's part battleground, part playground.

Helen Hayes	We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.	105
James E. Faust	If there were no night, we would not appreciate the day, nor could we see the stars and the vastness of the heavens. We must partake of the bitter with the sweet. There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless.	105
Kelli O'Hara	It is such a luxury to open a new book that's highly recommended by friends - either an inspirational yet humorously self-deprecating memoir, or a page-turning piece of fiction.	105
Neil Armstrong	I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine.	105
Rosie O'Donnell	I think that the reason for my success is that I am really not aspirational. I am inspirational in that the people at home feel like they can really relate to me.	105
Smokey Robinson	In fact, I wouldn't really call this a Gospel album, I call it more an inspirational album.	105
Stephen Colbert	I used to make up stuff in my bio all the time, that I used to be a professional ice-skater and stuff like that. I found it so inspirational. Why not make myself cooler than I am?	105
