Sam Worthington
71

My wife is the host of ‘Big Brother.’ Her name is Julie Chen, and she’ll say, ‘Da da da, but first we do this.’ So they mashed together her saying ‘but first’ a couple dozen times. Literally.

Regular people are the problem. It’s not the government, it’s not the invasive Big Brother, it’s the fact that we’re a nation of snitches and nosey people who then cry when somebody wants our personal information. I’m talking about people who are being voyeuristic to people’s privacy.
Jim Norton
84

Metta World Peace
85
Jose Mourinho is one of the best managers with whom I have worked. I had a chance not only to have him as a coach but as a colleague, a friend, a big brother. I had a chance to learn from him, and he was open to receiving advice from me as well, even though I think he knew it all.

Ndamukong Suh
102

Metta World Peace
111
When there’s an accident, we all have to slow down and watch the accident. We all have to be a little voyeuristic. I mean, look at the world we live in now, with all these ‘Big Brother’ shows. We’re all a bunch of voyeuristic people.
Donny Osmond
112
Drake doesn’t realize, in many ways, he was like the big brother I never had. He set the example and paved the way for me to be myself. Now, whether I’m at the Grammys or whether I’m here or there or whatever, he’ll show me love… People don’t realize what that’s like, what that means.
Logic
113

119
I would love to do a cookery show and cookery books. I’m not a professional cook, but I can definitely cook. I know the difference between good and bad cooking. I mean, when I was in ‘Big Brother’ I was the glorified cook of the house, so if I got offered my own show – then why not?
Shilpa Shetty
120
There have been some bad times, some very low points in my life. Doing ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ was certainly one of them. When I came out my phone didn’t ring for a very long time.
