I'm shocked at how early everything closes here. But people start earlier. I miss the late nightlife in NYC, but then again I sing and burn so much energy in the show that it's probably good - I get to go home and sleep.
— Neil Patrick Harris
I was born in London, and went to school in Scotland - I used to be dead tired when I got home at night.
— Norman Wisdom
I was actually lost in Beirut on the way home.
— Kelly Preston
Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter - for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion.
— Eminem
I'm actually a pretty decent human being, and when I'm home I'm straight as an arrow.
— Kid Rock
Although I managed my schedule to be home by late afternoon most days, basically, Roselle raised our children alone. And so I missed out on a lot of wonderful moments, missed watching my kids grow into the wonderful people they are today.
— Perry Como
It was the most pleasurable thing I've ever done, playing this character, and I just remember feeling so at home and so - I don't know, I was just happy - and it just wasn't ever work! It was like a sandbox for me, and I would crack myself up rehearsing.
— Jenna Elfman
There was a military police brigade with over 3,400 soldiers getting ready to go home because their mission - prisoner-of-war operations - was finished.
— Janis Karpinski
I have a dress-up chest at home. I love to create this fantasy kind of thing.
— Kate Moss
How we are using up our home, how we are living and polluting the planet is frightening. It was evident when I was a child. It's more evident now.
— Maya Lin
On tour, you never have a home, you don't get used to anything, and you're always super busy.
— Travis Barker
I never saw film stars at home. We had no maid, no cook, no swimming pool.
— Natalie Wood
I was often very, incredibly naughty, and if I didn't come home at tea time I used to be sent to bed without any dinner. But people used to bring me things: I was better fed in bed.
— Diane Cilento
That said, my kids are at home right now with my husband and I'm missing something important at my daughter's school which makes me feel sick inside. It's a lot of balance and a lot of really hard decision making.
— Reese Witherspoon
More than anything else, I want the folks back at home to think right of me.
— Elvis Presley
Just because I managed to do a little something, I don't want anyone back home to think I got the big head.
— Elvis Presley
On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.
— Janis Joplin
At home I am a nice guy: but I don't want the world to know. Humble people, I've found, don't get very far.
— Muhammad Ali
My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.
— Denzel Washington
I'd rather rot on my own floor than be found by a bunch of bingo players in a nursing home.
— Florence King
I have always brought home stray animals - everything from squirrels to wild rabbits to foxes and turtles.
— Amy Weber
We ought to have more women in various management positions, because women are the ones who decide almost everything in the home.
— Ingvar Kamprad
We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost.
— Jeremiah Wright
I'm kind of a dork. I don't have much game. I'm not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons.
— Wentworth Miller
It began to dawn on me that perhaps my country needed me more at home than overseas.
— Larry David
Anytime you're away from your home filming, it messes with your head.
— Jennifer Lawrence
Today's misery is real unemployment, home foreclosures and bankruptcies. This is the Obama Misery Index and its at a record high. Its going to take more than new rhetoric to put Americans back to work - its going to take a new president.
— Mitt Romney
So long as I can stay mentally alert - inquiring, curious - I want to keep going. I love my wife and my children, but I don't want to sit around at home with them. We go on safaris and things like that. I can do that for a couple of weeks a year. I'm just not ready to stop, to die.
— Rupert Murdoch
I have a five year-old son and a three year-old daughter. I want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home. And I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.
— Sheryl Sandberg
It's like, now you're actually complaining because you're making $9 million and guys are making more? If it makes you that upset, quit. Leave the game. Go home then and try finding another job that's going to pay you that.
— Eric Davis

— Michael Phelps
Sometimes I'm at home and I remember I'm supposed to do 100 push-ups and I don't.
— Asafa Powell
Playing drums feels like coming home for me. Even during the White Stripes I thought: 'I'll do this for now, but I'm really a drummer.' That's what I'll put on my passport application.
— Jack White
I feel an obligation to set the record straight. Actors that say they're affected by something, that it changes their life, that they take it home with them, they're just trying to get nominated for an Oscar!
— Joaquin Phoenix
When I'm home, I cook my own dinner, all organic.
— Big Sean
These days, you have the option of staying home, blogging in your underwear, and not having your words mangled. I think I like the direction things are headed.
— Marc Andreessen
I'm in this absolutely gorgeous manor house with acres of quite beautiful countryside. I've got trout in the river, an organic vegetable garden, I've got my work 40 yards from my home. I don't mind being criticised, but where are they criticising from? Which hut are they criticising me from, exactly?
— Jay Kay
Obviously, the easiest recipes are the most successful when it comes to the home cook, because they're not intimidated by them. If I'm doing 'Boy Meets Grill,' and I do something very simple like grilled hamburgers or steaks or chicken, those are the most sought-after recipes.
— Bobby Flay
I can't grill vegetables, shellfish or steaks without tongs. Don't bother with those long-handled grilling tongs normally found in the BBQ section of your home store. Get intimate with your grill and opt for the regular stainless steel tongs.
— Bobby Flay
I'm from a small town so, like, everyone's married with children or about to have children. So it's a little hard when you go home and people are like - and that's why people think I'm gay - because they're like 'Why aren't you married?' And I'm like, 'it doesn't happen for everyone right off the bat.'
— Kelly Clarkson
My company is an extension of me, so when I designed my stores I wanted people to feel that they were in my home.
— Tory Burch
For those who have come here illegally, they might have a transition time to allow them to set their affairs in order. And then go back home and get in line with everybody else. And if they get in line and they apply to become a citizen and get a green card, they will be treated like everybody else.
— Mitt Romney
Locally produced foods - defined as those harvested within a 100-mile radius of one's home - have a lesser impact on the environment because of the decreased need for transportation from source to consumer.
— Tyler Florence
My father was always depressed. When he was home and sober, he was mostly in his room.
— Sherman Alexie
My father probably thought the capital of the world was wherever he was at the time. It couldn't possibly be anyplace else. Where he and his wife were in their own home, that, for them, was the capital of the world.
— Bob Dylan
I'm happy going home early and working out and just being a mother and being a wife.
— Kim Alexis
We have to judge politicians by their cumulative score. In one innings they make a great catch, in another they drop the ball. In one they score a home run, in another they strike out. But it is their cumulative batting average that we are interested in.
— Jesse Jackson
There's a continuity between what I care about in any form: I care about it in my music, in article-writing, in how I dress, in how I live, in my relationships, in how I navigate paparazzi, how I decorate my home. There's such a continuity between everything that I don't really care what form it shows up in.
— Alanis Morissette
I mean, I suppose when I'm in London, I'm home so I'm more comfortable.
— Jourdan Dunn
Once I was gone for a month and I was just miserable, so I flew back from Florida for two hours just to be home and see my cats.
— Paula Poundstone
I think any branding for me is band-related. It's really weird to get used to the exposure, because I am a naturally introverted person, and I'm not exactly social. Occasionally I can get comfortable enough to talk, but I spend a lot of my days not talking, especially when I'm at home and not on tour.
— Nate Ruess
I don't get to go home as much as I used to, which is a shame. But I don't mind because my mum moved over to London to look after me. I rented her a house just around the corner.
— Niall Horan
I support workplace clean air. But a federal ban on smoking would mean that you couldn't smoke in your own home. I don't care what people do in their home.
— Mike Huckabee
My sisters both are working mothers. I understand that my being an actress as well as being at home isn't some heroic thing. That doesn't mean it isn't confusing or difficult - especially that question of how you find a balance.
— Jennifer Garner
At times you feel like you're the only voice speaking out to improve the working conditions of people, whether it's to be able to collectively bargain, to get adequate pay, to know that you can come home safe out of a coal mine.
— Hilda Solis
The truth is, if anyone saw my home life, I'm pretty sure it would look like other families' around the world. There's a lot of juggling to be done.
— Brooke Burke
Illogical thinkers throw names and slurs around because they have no arguments with which to rebut their opponents. Rational people have to keep hammering their points home.
— Ben Carson
I hate formal stuff. I love looking like a doll and all that stuff and playing dress up, but when I'm home, sweat pants, t-shirt. When I'm in the studio, sweat pants, t-shirt.
— Nicki Minaj
The Second Amendment does protect the right to people to possess weapons for self-defense in the home. That's what the Supreme Court said.
— Laurence Tribe
I'd be totally exhausted by mid-afternoon, and I could barely climb the stairs at home. It was particularly alarming because all my life I'd enjoyed doing all my own stunts in shows, taking on every physical challenge. Yet suddenly, I'd become like a very old man. I knew something was wrong, but I had no idea what.
— Michael Crawford
Many women assume they can't be good mothers and have challenging careers at the same time, so they might give up trying to do both as they get to a crucial point in their career. Although it can be hard at times, it's important for women to recognize the benefits of working outside the home.
— Susan Wojcicki
I don't think most analysts understand that whether I work a 70-hour week or an 80-hour week, I take my head with me when I go home.
— Les Wexner
I try and eat really healthy when I'm home, but I certainly don't eat worms and snakes.
— Bear Grylls
I'm happy to be at home with the kids, in my flannel pajamas; that's a treat.
— Patsy Kensit
I am not a home breaker and I can never be. I haven't been brought up to create havoc in other people's homes.
— Kareena Kapoor Khan
Many Lexington natives believe they live in a special place, one impossible to leave. I'm not so sure about that - or it's more accurate to say I think a more general truth exists beneath it: the place you first call home stays with you always, whether you remain or go.
— Kim Edwards
I'm a bachelor in the old sense of the word, meaning I flirt, I have very many close relationships, but then I come home and like to read my book.
— William Ivey Long
I live in a sort of insular world. It's mostly my family, my house, staying home and working.
— Mark Hamill
It's often discouraging sitting working at home, wondering whether to put the heating on, answering the doorbell to the gas board, feeling it's all utterly pointless.
— Rachel Johnson
In my home office, I have two large, 30-inch computer monitors - a Mac and a PC. They share the same mouse and keyboard, so I can type or copy and paste between them. I'll typically do Web stuff on the Mac and e-mail and chat stuff on the PC.
— Matt Mullenweg
You don't see me in Los Angeles a lot. I go back home. Because I can't play the game. I can't - my tolerance - I know I'm getting old I'll be 50 this year. And you know how I know I'm getting old? 'Cause my tolerance level is low. 
— Bernie Mac
People are responsible adults at home. Why do we suddenly transform them into adolescents with no freedom when they reach the workplace?
— Ricardo Semler
Those days of every child having a mummy and daddy who lived at home - Daddy went to work, and Mummy stayed at home and took care of everyone - those days have almost gone, and it's so much more unconventional now.
— Kate Winslet
I think if you follow anyone home, whether they live in Houston or London, and you sit at their dinner table and talk to them about their mother who has cancer or their child who is struggling in school, and their fears about watching their lives go by, I think we're all the same.
— Brene Brown
Let me put it this way: when I read, I learned the world was not as small as my house. And that everybody in my home town was not representative of the way people in the world were raised. And that was what saved me.
— Terry McMillan
Ladies love a soppy lyric. There's a real winner in 'Carry You Home.'
— James Blunt
I'd never put all my chips anywhere, because I don't want to close any doors, but I was raised in a very blue-collar family. I was raised by parents who said, 'If you don't go to work every day, you're not contributing', so that's my mentality. I have to work every day; I have to bring home a paycheck.
— Katee Sackhoff
You have to be very insensitive in order to have a cat, because I think they're very independent. When they're kittens, you think they're going to have a dog temperament in that they're going to run to the door when you get home, lick you on the face and cuddle with you all the time, but cats are not that way.
— Jennifer Love Hewitt
People are easily intimidated when they decorate their home. They think it has to be one way. But there's no one way. It's your way, your style. At the end of the day, you have to live there. It's your cocoon, your nest. You have to be happy in it.
— Bryan Batt
I live in Brooklyn, and I love all the hipsters and all the artisanal bacon you can get here now. I consider New York my home, and L.A. a place that I go. I always say I go with an empty sack and try to fill it with as much money as possible to bring back to New York.
— Julie White
Runners and yogis are alike in lots of ways, and not just because some of us need yoga to unkink what running jams. Runners and yogis are also alike because of this tortoise shell idea, this 'home' we can access inside ourselves.
— Kristin Armstrong
I think anybody who goes away finds you appreciate home more when you return.
— Yo-Yo Ma
A drone is a high-tech version of an old army and a musket. It ought to be used in Somalia to hunt bad guys, but not in America. I don't want to see it hovering over anybody's home.
— Charles Krauthammer
As an actress, I get plenty of drama in my professional life. When I'm at home, I want a peaceful life.
— Lysette Anthony
I've read everything Thomas Wolfe ever wrote; my brother and I memorized whole chapters of 'You Can't Go Home Again' and 'Look Homeward, Angel.'
— Maya Angelou
I wouldn't call myself a shut-in. I have the ability to leave my home; I just choose not to. But because I'm such a homebody, it's important to be surrounded by things I love.
— Amy Sedaris
Early on, I played one or two disturbed people, and I guess I must have been good at it, because it stuck. But, you know, I'm a regular guy. I stay home a lot, I make an effort to keep a distance from the whole social thing, the openings, the parties. I try to live in a calm way.
— Christopher Walken
