After this, I took private lessons in Italian from an elementary school teacher. He gave me themes to write about, and some of them turned out so well that he told me to publish them in a newspaper.

American movies and music deliver themes of freedom, innocence, and power that appeal to others - partly because America itself was put together out of a multiplicity of national traditions.
Todd Gitlin

And of course Marc Cherry heightens it and makes it hilarious. But there's so many universal themes in the show, and he made it so funny. We knew he was onto something if he could keep it up and, thankfully, he did.
James Denton

As an actor, I am meant to dabble with different themes and genres.
Sanjay Dutt

But it's much more exciting to make Die Hard. One of the reasons that I think that movie is so successful is it deals with those very important blue-collar relationship themes. But it's more visually beautiful to show things blowing up. It just gives you more on the screen.
Penn Jillette

Classical music's ability to translate emotional themes is fantastic.
Alan Price

Fame is everywhere; the 15 minutes are now the dominant themes of our times.

I don't think you can replaces great themes. But I think people do want to hear fresh arrangements of them. They don't want to hear them played the same way all the time.
Stan Kenton

I get very driven by certain themes and ideas.
Alex Winter

I like the beauty of Faulkner's poetry. But I don't like his themes, not at all.
Manuel Puig

I like the stories with the historical themes.
Sarah Sutton

I never found even in my juvenile hours that it was necessary to go a thousand miles in search of themes for moralizing.
Horace Walpole

I really love writing themes and melody.
Trevor Rabin

I see some recurring themes: things that feel threaded together, some symbolic references, and songs about some of the big questions, like death. There are a lot of references to weather, too!
Tracy Chapman

I think baseball - the baseball genre - is this mitt, to use a double pun there, to catch a whole bunch of themes.
Rachel Griffiths

I think if you look at the themes that are presented in the film, some are inherently social, and I think that any film which deals with the family is dealing with the smallest social unit in our society - and in a sense it is a question of scope.
Atom Egoyan
