Catfish's mild taste adapts well to a wide array of flavors, especially strong assertive ones,

which is why you used to see it 'blackened' Cajun style on so many restaurant menus - a trick which soon became a tired cliche.
Tom Douglas

My parents were mourning the death of my sister. She was killed in a car accident before I was born, and I didn't know she existed until I was 13 or 14 years old. I knew I was growing up in a house where people were angry and sad.
Andrew Hudgins

My first gig was 'The Outsiders.' I was 14 there. And probably one of the more jading experiences in my whole life.
Jay R. Ferguson

I wanted to try every style available to me - large productions, small productions, studio films, low-budget. You just can't sit around and wait for every big-budget film to come along.
Daniel Wu

You can go to Graff and buy a diamond that's flawless. You aren't going to be able to buy the same diamond at Fortunoff, but it's still a diamond you can enjoy. If fashion can allow you to have the Chanel mystique through a lipstick, then why shouldn't art allow you to have that through a sweatshirt that says 'Cremaster' on it?
Marc Jacobs

When I was living in Mexico and writing a book called 'Aztec,' I had to make a deliberate effort to ignore a lot of the 'typically Mexican landscape' around me - banana and citrus groves, roses and carnations, burros and toros - because they did not exist in Mexico in the 15th century, the time of my book.
Gary Jennings

On the 'Star,' you were forced to learn to write a simple declarative sentence. This is useful to anyone. Newspaper work will not harm a young writer and could help him if he gets out of it in time.
Ernest Hemingway

Tokyo in the late 1960s seemed to be like one of the futures that science fiction presents. Here was the proto- super-technology of the future, electronically, robotically, blahblahblah, intercut with traditional Japanese cultural patterns, Shinto patterns.
Ian Watson

For a group of friends or a family dinner, fish tacos are popular and fun to make.
Tom Douglas

My grandfather can barely even hear, and Chevy Chase makes a face, and he laughs.
Gillian Jacobs

People can judge me for what I've done. And I think when somebody's out in the public eye, that's what they do. So I'm fully comfortable with who I am, what I stand for, and what I've always stood for.
Hillary Clinton

Very much like that, and very much a loner, do you know and I didn't

fit really into sport or all kind of group activities as a kid, I couldn't find a niche. And music was not really part of the kind of village curriculum it would, you know. Eric Clapton According to some Eastern religion, there is a belt that goes across the world, and I've heard that Minnesota is right in the heart of this spiritual-creative belt of energy. Melody Beattie Amongst Women concentrated on the family, and the new book concentrates on a small community. The dominant units in Irish society are the family and the locality. The idea was that the whole world would grow out from that small space. John McGahern Jazz stands for freedom. It's supposed to be the voice of freedom: Get out there and improvise, and take chances, and don't be a perfectionist - leave that to the classical musicians. Dave Brubeck I decided to do the maximum to hold onto the lead for as long as possible. That is why I pushed so hard from the beginning. I was at 100 percent conce...

Take care that all your offerings be free, and of your own, that has cost

you something; so that ye may not offer of that which is another man's, or that which ye are entrusted withal, and not your own. George Fox True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made. Franklin D. Roosevelt Easy doesn't do it. Al Bernstein The snow continues with high winds we remain at this camp to day in consequence of the weather. William Henry Ashley I've been to Paris France and I've been to Paris Paramount. Paris Paramount is better. Ernst Lubitsch

The Gaelic language itself depends very much on ear and rhythm, and when those who

are thinking in Gaelic speak in English, they get the same rhythm. Lady Gregory Everyone in comedy thinks if you go to the U.S. you become a global star but, unfortunately, I've always been a bit anti-American - so I never did. Jo Brand Ever since the end of Medieval feudalism, and the writings of John Locke, we have understood the importance of being able to buy and sell one's own property, including books and watches, both for reasons of economics and liberty. Marvin Ammori One of the nice things about a favorite pop song is that it's an unconditional truce on judgment and musical snobbery. You like the song because you just do, and there need not be any further criticism. Henry Rollins A face is a road map of someone's life. Without any need to amplify that or draw attention to it, there's a great deal that's communicated about who this person is and what their life experiences have been. Chuck Close 'Minecraft' certainly became a huge ...

I wrote two poems about the '81 uprisings: 'Di Great Insohreckshan' and 'Mekin Histri.' I

wrote those two poems from the perspective of those who had taken part in the Brixton riots. The tone of the poem is celebratory because I wanted to capture the mood of exhilaration felt by black people at the time. Linton Kwesi Johnson Julia Roberts is a favorite. Everybody loves her in the Hollywood community. The public adores her. Mary Hart The reason I became a better player was because I came to Philly. Michael Vick I have a lot of younger fans, obviously the choices I make often influence them. But having said that, it's kind of the best motivation in the world to stay positive and make good choices. James Maslow Investors have to ask themselves two questions. How much can we grow our investments? And, can we afford our mistakes? Mohamed El-Erian In Sierra Leone last year there was just the two of us hanging out of a helicopter and, when we were in Bosnia, I drove an armoured vehicle, thousands of miles. Kate Adie The higher a man stands, the more the word ...

I find television to be a bit like a meat grinder. It's like, you

have a cow, you put it through a meat grinder, and out comes a hot dog. It's almost unrecognizable. Jillian Michaels We've always had a roadmap to feature filmmaking, and making a feature film could have been three or four years away for us. But crowdfunding helped us get there in a year, and it allowed us to take a much bigger step. Burnie Burns I love being the sidekick. I'm pretty sure fans love seeing me that way. Jacob Batalon Businesses across the country are raising their prices in order to compensate for their added costs due to Obama's health care plan. If they aren't raising prices, they're cutting jobs as a result of the added cost, both of which hurt our economy. Pam Bondi I've not had any interest in running a movie studio, but I want to make one feature film. Bonnie Hammer I give everything far too much thought. If you think you know what you're doing, then you can kind of relax, and then you can improvise an...

Every single tune you know from the 1940s until the 1970s was written, arranged, and

demoed in the Brill Building. OK, maybe not every song, but writers from Benny Goodman to Lieber & Stoller to Neil Diamond all kept offices there. Shawn Amos When dealing with a subject who is dead, you have this feeling of being God. You know who they're going to marry, when they're going to die. It's strange to feel so omniscient. Claire Tomalin I think the power of opera has been shifted from the music to the director, because this is a very visual age that we live in. Sondra Radvanovsky It's good to see some Kiwi accents up on the big screen. Martin Henderson Students shy away from Maths, but in reality Maths is the best friend of man. Shakuntala Devi I'm the one who will take chances, not worry about the backlash. Magic Johnson If you know the mother's genome and the father's genome, and you see that the children have some genes that neither parent has, then you know that difference is either a mutation or a processing error. Lero...

When I first arrived in Los Angeles I became a little bogged down in the

whole success thing. Now I'm at a place in my life and career where I just want to work. It's what I do and it makes me very happy. John Glover I like to sneak in under the radar. I don't have any paparazzi following me or have to deal with that stuff. I'm never in the tabloids. I prefer that. Rob Schneider I didn't fully realize it at the time, but the goal of my life was profoundly molded by this experience - to help produce, in the next generation, more Mother Teresas and less Hitlers. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind. W. Somerset Maugham I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. Dean Martin Canada is the homeland of equality, justice and tolerance. Kim Campbell It is also a good rul...

I worked with James Orange and Hosea Williams as a teenager, and he's portrayed in

the movie by Wendell Pierce. So, for me to be able to come in, 20 years after working with them as a teenager, and to portray Reverend James Orange in 'Selma' is mind-blowing. Omar Dorsey The Arctic is among the least understood places on the planet; however, we do know that its landscape is changing and evolving as quickly as cell phones and the Internet. Philippe Cousteau, Jr. Kitchen competition shows are so action-packed. They just get your adrenaline pumping. Bill Rancic On the roads, it is one of those 'might is right' situations. If I see cars coming, I duck out of the way. Dane Bird-Smith I always thought the desert was the antithesis of peace - something that attacks you. So you don't go to the desert for peace. Sam Shepard They ought to put an amendment to the First Amendment that says there shall also be freedom of hearing. Tom Smothers I love anything that's sort of surreal and with fantasy. Christina Hendricks The most frequent ...

Motion capture is exactly what it says: it's physical moves, whereas performance capture is the

entire performance - including your facial performance. If you're doing, say, martial arts for a video game, that is motion capture. This is basically another way of recording an actor's performance: audio, facial and physical. Andy Serkis Fate gives you the finger and you accept. William Shatner I've always joked about Joe Montana not appreciating his Super Bowls nearly as much as I do because he never lost one. We lost three before we got one. John Elway You don't know what people are really like until they're under a lot of stress. Tim Allen I think, for the majority of my twenties, I was always so concerned with what I didn't have, or what I still wanted. Adam Lambert Find combinations of flavors you love and buy the best quality ingredients you can afford. Your food is only going to be as good as the sum of its parts, like anything else. Gail Simmons I hate that word, mature, but I guess I am growing up. Sheryl Crow Not knowing the thin...

I don't know concretely if it's due to superstition, but any time a new rule

is implemented into the NBA or a new piece of equipment or a new technology, there is always a transition and adjustment period by players and coaches and anyone involved with the game. Stu Jackson When I was on a major label I felt obliged to say yes to every interview, tour and whatever else. The label is always telling you, 'This ain't going to last,' so I worked myself half to death. I learnt from that and I like to pace myself now. Adam Ant I got to play in a crowd, play in Wimbledon finals, be the guy on a Davis Cup team for a while. Those are opportunities not a lot of people get. As much as I was disappointed and frustrated at times, I'm not sure that I ever felt sorry for myself or begrudged anybody any of their success. Andy Roddick There are times, like after a long day of work, when the thought of an easy drive-through is enticing. But then I remember how crappy I felt when I ate fast food in the past, and it inspires me to head to the grocery store...
