Dave Mustaine

Family, Food, Dad

Work, Opinion, General

Ellen Barkin

Smile, Girl, Two

Charles Williams

Down, Forgive, While

If I had a story idea that I felt would work best in three volumes I might write a trilogy eventually. I'd very likely write it all at once, though, so I could work on it as a whole and not broken into individual volumes.

Erin Morgenstern

Work, Best, Whole

Of course I've had a bunch of broken bones, sprains and I've had five or six concussions, with three serious ones. I also got a real heavy duty blood clot and internal bleeding from where I was shot in the stomach with a beanbag bullet that the police use for crowd control. I've also had six stitches in my head.
Johnny Knoxville

Real, Control, Serious

There are a lot of stereotypes to be broken which I think a lot of us are doing. What I do is, as soon as people try to pin me down to one kind of part, I'll play a very different kind of role, so it explodes that stereotype.
Joan Chen

Down, Different, Play

Life, Family, Morning

My table is now brightly, now dimly lighted. Its temperature varies. It may receive an ink stain. One of its legs may be broken. It may be repaired, polished, and replaced part by part. But, for me, it remains the table at which I daily write.

Daily, May, Write

All records are not made to be broken.
Karl Malone

Don Cheadle

Crisis, Country, Two
