James Payn

All this technology for connection and what we really only know more about is how anonymous we are in the grand scheme of things.
Heather Donahue

James Merrill

Congress and the White House are working out their scheme for pushing through a healthcare 'reform' bill that has more pages than the U.S. Constitution has words.

I guess why the Ocean's films are hard for me is because on the one hand you have to make sure the performances are there, but on the other hand it's a film that demands, to my mind, a very layered and complex visual scheme. That takes a lot of time to figure out.
Steven Soderbergh

Will Rogers

I know I'm on a small cable reality show. I'm realistic where I stand in the scheme of things.
