I've followed Stewart since he was 18 years old, through his success at Indy, and he has a lot of appeal to women.

David Wald

We reserved the right last week to file suit again after this 45-day investigation is completed.

Ambrose Gwinett Bierce

It would not now be proper to call your sweetheart a hag --that compliment is reserved for the use of her grandchildren.

When I was in high school playing against those guys I really didn't feel friendly towards them at all. I tried to make myself think I hated Unionville at the time, and there was definitely a lot of trash talking. You run into those guys all the time. It's pretty important to have those bragging rights so you can walk with your head a little higher. But now that I'm out of school and you see those guys there's no hate there. I have a lot of respect for them.

Mike Birbiglia

When I was in high school I saw Steven Wright, a brilliant one-liner comedian, and I thought: 'That's what I should do; I should write one-liners.' And I did. My first album is mostly one-liners.

Aleksey Igudesman

We've always dreamt of a TV series and working in film. When we first sat down to seriously write 'A Little Nightmare Music,' to write something for TV was our original inspiration.

Alan Chadwick

Scottish Theatre's greatest success story of recent times.

Plays by Alan Ayckbourn have been attracting larger audiences in the regional theatres than those of Shakespeare.

Al Pacino

What's this thing that gets between us and Shakespeare?

Akira Kurosawa

For me, filmmaking combines everything. That's the reason I've made cinema my life's work. In films, painting and literature, theatre and music come together. But a film is still a film.

It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.

Chita Rivera

Theatre is immediate gratification

Russian Proverb

What the young one begs for, the grown-up throws away

Leslie Snyder

We found that if there was more advertising in a market there was more youth drinking.

Santino Quaranta

Santino Quaranta

We grew up together on the youth teams, too, so it's a fun opportunity for us.

Jeff Zucker

We believe we have a youthful and energetic cast that should appeal to a new audience that is increasingly comfortable with this downloadable format as a viewing option.
