Power, Society, May

J. C. Watts

God, Forget, May

Obviously there are times with acting when exactly what is required is just going through the motions, and when doing nothing is the best thing. But at other times, you have to make that leap beyond the immediate environment of people putting up lights on the set.
Christian Bale

Best, Nothing, Through

Growing up the son of a director has made me very aware of the various turns that a directing career can take. Sometimes your films turn out exactly as you want. Sometimes they don't. I spent a lot of my childhood on sets. I think as a joke, my father gave me a line of dialogue in each of his films during the worst moments of my puberty.
Jason Reitman

Father, Career, Made

This country pays a price whenever our economy fails to deliver rising living standards to our citizens - which is exactly what has been the case for years now.

Chris Christie

Political, Together, Country

Clare Boothe Luce

Women, Play, Inspired

Sonia Sotomayor

Good, Hope, Judging

I'm not exactly sure how many kids I have, but yes, I do miss them officially, for the record. In case any of them are listening, I love you.
Tre Cool

Love, Kids, Sure

You take one bomber and deploy him in Baghdad, and another is manufactured in Riyadh the next day. It's exactly like when you take the toy off the shelf at Wal-Mart and another is made in Shen Zhen the next day.
Thomas Friedman

Arnold Bennett

Great, Knows, Advantage

It's hard to know exactly how people develop the characters they do. There could be people from humble beginnings that turn into jerks. Some characteristics are just part of that special soul of that human being.
David Maraniss

Humble, Human, Hard

My dad was a labourer and my mum had exactly the same job as Noel Gallagher's mum - she was a dinner lady at our local school. Everyone comes over from Ireland and they get the same jobs.
Danny Boyle

Dad, School, Job

Both of my sisters have been teachers and they used to say you get asked between 300 and 600 questions every day which you have to answer. That's exactly what directing is. And the vast majority of those questions are not very interesting really, but they need somebody to make a decision - a good one or a bad one - and they follow it.
Danny Boyle

Good, Bad, Decision

I'll see Naomi Wolf on television periodically, I have nothing against her and what she says, but I'll feel that she's a politician, like she's got an agenda to get across and that she doesn't always say what's really true or exactly what she feels.
Elizabeth Wurtzel

True, Nothing, Her

I sell myself for the highest price. Exactly like a prostitute. There is no difference.
Klaus Kinski

Difference, Price, Highest

Eddie Van Halen

Knows, Maybe, Imagine

Phyllis is one of the tunnel boring machines for Crossrail and one of the most extraordinary characters I met, visiting some of the most exciting infrastructure in Britain.

Evan Davis

Boring, Run, Exciting

God, Truth, Word

I'm not saying that 'Twilight' is, you know, some brilliant Oscar-winner, it's not 'Dr. Zhivago.' It's not trying to be. Because it is a female fantasy. I would argue that it's actually a universal fantasy. Which is, the fantasy being to be loved and cherished for exactly who you are.
Melissa Rosenberg

Saying, Trying, Loved

I think it's just a lot more pressure to make the scenes work when you're doing a film, because when you're doing a series you feel like, I have so many scenes, so many episodes, so if I don't get it exactly right this time, I have another scene later. You feel less pressure.
Chloe Sevigny

Work, Time, Another
