At times, I feel America is something that I can actually put my arms around,

more than a land mass and a Constitution, something far more containable and understandable. I don't exactly know what it is, but at these times I feel completely woven into it.
Henry Rollins

My favorite drink is water - the bland one: Evian. I stick with that. I celebrate in the evening sometimes with Perrier. That's why I love coming to California. They're always talking to you about bottled water.

My father was a very warm, gregarious, sociable person who had many interests. He lived his life very much in the present, full of activities and the next project. He had many hobbies. He was not given to retrospection.

Adolph Gottlieb

You watch 'Whale Rider,' and I defy you to not get teary-eyed at the end there.
Oscar Isaac

In England, you laugh at yourselves; in France, we laugh at others.
Lou Doillon

Cesare Beccaria

What's interesting about the shift from an industrial age to a technological age is that we keep inventing new media: movies, records, radio, television, the Internet, and now ebooks - and one of the things that's most interesting about the invention of a new medium is watching it reinvent itself as it penetrates the culture.
David Gerrold

Sport seems to be much more important to people than politics.
Philip Kerr

You discover how confounding the world is when you try to draw it. You look at a car, and you try to see its car-ness, and you're like an immigrant to your own world. You don't have to travel to encounter weirdness. You wake up to it.
