John Fahey Human folk are as a matter of fact eager to find intelligence in animals. Edward Thorndike I also like the whole idea of fairy tales and folk tales being a woman's domain, considered a lesser domain at the time they were told. Alice Hoffman I always thought I was singing American folk music. Lonnie Donegan I didn't know Charlie before doing the movie, but I was a huge fan of the British Queer as Folk. Nathan Lane |
