LaToya Jackson

Feeling, Night, Strange

Because I've done a lot of television, I'm sort of a generalist. I'm not a pastry cook, but I've had to learn a certain amount about it. I'm not a baker, though I've had to learn how to do it. I'm sort of a general cook.
Julia Child

Done, Learn, Though

David Walliams

Him, Why, Actually

The sax solo as we know it today would not exist without Gerry Rafferty. His 1978 soft-rock classic 'Baker Street' has to be the 'Ulysses' of rock & roll saxophone, giving the entire chorus over to Raphael Ravenscroft's sax solo, creating one of the Seventies' most enduringly creepy sounds.
Rob Sheffield

Today, Rock, Giving

I wear lots of Junk de Luxe sweaters, Cult of Individuality jeans - which are about the best for me - and Fiorentini + Baker boots. With fashion I'm good on jeans and boots. Ask me about anything else, and I'll just look at you doe-eyed and not understand what you're talking about.
Stephen Moyer

Good, Best, Understand

Lalla Ward

Saying, Sick, Ask

Jeannette Walls

Love, Music, Evening

Louise Jameson

Love, Music, Poetry

You know one scene I always think about is in 'The Godfather', when Marlon Brando's in the hospital. Al Pacino arrives there and enlists the help of the baker to protect his father. The two of them stand outside and the baker fiddles with a cigarette lighter, but Pacino's hands are rock steady. That's when we sort of realize that he can do this.
Garret Dillahunt

Rock, Father, Help

Carla Bley

Bad, Wanted, Seemed

Everything, Working, Same
