Theater is an old thing. It's thousands of years old. TV isn't. Film isn't. We're

doing a really old thing.Branden Jacobs-Jenkins

Larry Page, Brian McClendon, and the Google Maps teams have been following our progress closely and are excited about what we've accomplished.Noam Bardin

I think the preservation of orchestras and what they do is worth expending all the ways there are to reach out to people who might not otherwise go.David Ogden Stiers

I wrote my first play when I was nine. It was performed at Hampstead Theatre.Daniel Kaluuya

While I knew that individuals had in history - and still could - make a difference, it seemed presumptuous - even pompous - to imagine that I could be part of it, that I could be one of them.Samantha Power

I'm on my phone 24/7 replying to every Instagram comment and message to try and understand how people are seeing us, and their questions and concerns.Ella Woodward

I hate losing. It doesn't matter if it's racing or playing Ping-Pong - I hate it.Lewis Hamilton

It wasn't the smiling Trump that people elected. It was the frowning, glowering, angry Donald Trump that people elected.H. W. Brands

It is not easy to lose or gain weight. The diet and the exercise regime should be compatible with your body, or else you end up with wrinkles and hair loss.R. Madhavan

I always learn a lot when I do so. You know, when you step out of your comfort zone and even your cynical zone, and open yourself up to what other people might experience and why they do so.Todd Haynes

Having kids has been great for me. I have two beautiful step- kids, as well

as my own new daughter. They've really helped me to keep my feet firmly on the ground, and life is good. I feel like I'm the luckiest guy here. Matt LeBlanc I think playing somebody who's schizophrenic is such a lesson as an actor. It gets you totally out of your comfort zone, because you can't rely on your technique, your external stuff. You've really gotta look inward, in a way. Matt Dillon I grew up in the Methodist church and taught Sunday school, and one of my favorite passages of scripture is, 'in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.' Matthew 25:40. Elizabeth Warren Every actor I ever meet goes, 'Ultimately I plan on having my own company and write and direct,' but yes, I too would love to write and direct a movie. I want to do a play, too. I want to do it all. Jason Schwartzman If the people in the audience are talking, you're being ignored. If the people are gazing at ...

When my grandfather was born, there was no healthcare. There were no airplanes.

  There were no boats. There were no trains. There were no communications. No Internet. No widespread knowledge. It will be a completely different world but a much better place in a hundred years. Jamie Dimon This is sports. In sports, you win and you lose. That's the nature of sports. You can't get away from that part of it. And if you get too hung up on the losing part, then you miss the boat. The competition part, a game like that, is why you play sports. That is as good as it gets. David Robinson Climate change is a global crisis - one the international community and private sector must tackle together if we have any hope of averting the worst impacts on our health, our economies, and our communities. Tom Steyer I'm set in my own ways. I like to do the things I want to do when I want to do them. Dennis Farina I don't imagine myself, my work, or my life, fitting into any kind of standardized path. In fact, the idea of there even being a standard freaks me out a lot. ...

Can we achieve 140 mpg fuel economy? You bet. Just get the bureaucrats out of the way, and

  Yankee ingenuity will do the rest. Robert Zubrin Nature is the fountain's head, the source from whence all originality must spring. John Constable I'm constantly struggling in interviews to engage and finish sentences, because I am being asked personal questions from somebody I don't know. Katherine Waterston I know actors with promising careers who get blown out of the business, never to return. Everett McGill I don't think that Argentinian cinema is well-known outside Argentina the way it should be. Guillermo del Toro Tobe Hooper - he did my favorite horror movie, 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre.' It's still one of my favorite horror films. Fred Willard I have great Indian genes! You know, I'm lazy. I want to take advantage of the fact that I have a great metabolism. When I start getting fat, I'll work on it! I like food, and I don't like the gym, and as long as I look like this without doing anything, why bother? Priyanka Chopra The idea of a comp...

Nobody can deny but religion is a comfort to the distressed, a cordial to the

sick, and sometimes a restraint on the wicked; therefore whoever would argue or laugh it out of the world without giving some equivalent for it ought to be treated as a common enemy. Mary Wortley Montagu The House of Commons, refused to receive the addresses of the colonies, when the matter was pending; besides, we hold our rights neither from them nor from the Lords. Christopher Gadsden I think the crucial thing in the writing career is to find what you want to do and how you fit in. What somebody else does is of no concern whatever except as an interesting variation. James A. Michener It seems we are capable of immense love and loyalty, and as capable of deceit and atrocity. It's probably this shocking ambivalence that makes us unique. John Scott I may attempt a novel. I think that no matter what you write, it requires being honest with oneself, and you have to pull yourself out of the whirlwind of daily life. Iris Chang Desire creates the power. Raymond Holliwell...

I certainly didn't say while writing 'Gossip Girl,' 'Oh this is going to

be big!' It was really like, 'Oh god, everyone's gong to hate these people! They're so bratty!' But I actually think what is so appealing about them is the humor in them. Cecily von Ziegesar I've had meetings with Fidel Castro. I've had meetings with Kim Il-Sung. I've had meetings with other dictators. I've met with the Butcher of Beijing. You know, I think it's important to hear, you know, each other's perspective. Gary Ackerman I've had over a dozen models come in and pose fro me live for these new Cirque pieces. Cirque is a world-wide phenomenon and they are just incredible athletes. I've been to all the performances and am really fascinated by all of their productions. Richard MacDonald I wasn't the best in my class at the Royal Academy. There was a really good soprano and baritone who were technically better and are doing really well in opera now. But I was definitely the best mezzo-soprano in my class, because I was...

As a lawyer, I've dealt with really serious offences, and the public rarely hear what the true

  impact is on the victims' families. When you hear it from the mouths of victims, your entire approach changes, because it could happen to anybody, and they articulate that in such a powerful way. Robert Rinder Self-imposed discipline with a bent towards results rather than 'creative' and sustainability spending is unfortunately not the norm in the marketing industry. Ryan Holiday The Libertadores is sensational, but the Champions League... The first time I heard the anthem was a really special feeling. It's like being in a video game; it's living the dream of every child. Neymar You can't reason with gang violence: you can't talk to it, sit it at the table, and negotiate with it. Greg Boyle Growing up, I did not have many friends with parents who were together. Adam Scott The TV mini-series is kind of a lost genre because the networks have given up on it. Bonnie Hammer The 'Bolton News' is the best place for online comments. They say I'm an abs...

Children want to mimic adults. They notice when you choose to prepare fresh vegetables over

calling in another pizza pie for dinner. They will see that food made with love and care outweighs going through the drive-through window. Marcus Samuelsson I've been drawing authors and politicians for newspapers for many years. I try to read up on the person; in the case of authors, read one of their books. I watch interviews via YouTube and collect pictures via the Internet. Siegfried Woldhek I have no interest in becoming a tax exile and living somewhere I don't want to - I just want to be at home with my family. Rafael Nadal We know that once we stop learning and call ourselves learned, we become useless members of the scientific society. Christian de Duve I started in the supermarket business in the early '70s. And by '75, '76, I realized you don't have a business unless you own the real estate. John Catsimatidis I'm really interested in smells. I think I'd like to own a perfumery someday. Kurt Cobain I never really liked the Gosp...

I love the way this sport has evolved and impacted every segment of society.

  Now you have cross training and weight training in every sport and from middle school kids to senior citizens. Lee Haney People make a mistake thinking that two people with identical mindset gel well. Gautam Gambhir If money is tight, or you're on a limited budget, then consider DIY or used gifts. DIY could be something like baked goods for your friends, family, and neighbors. Plus, if you have children, it's a great activity to do with them during the holidays. John Rampton The custom of clasping hands is thought to date back thousands of years, as proof of not holding any weapons. Faith Salie I believe in term limits. I believe the country would be hugely better off if we had more turnover in Congress. Bill Flores When we demand Woman Suffrage, we can only do so on the ground, not that it should be a right attached to the possession of a certain amount of property, but that it should be inherent in the woman herself. Clara Zetkin I stopped acting a long time ago and my prim...

Environmental problems cannot be resolved here the way they are resolved in other countries. I

heard that 80 per cent of the environmental problems in the U.S. are solved in court. That can't happen here. Ma Jun I don't care where you went to school. There - have I made your day? No? All right, I'll go further: I also don't care what your dad did for a living or how your mum voted. Nor do I mind whether you ate your tea in front of the telly, dinner at the kitchen table, or supper in the dining room. Robert Webb The word 'art' interests me very much. If it comes from Sanskrit, as I've heard, it signifies 'making.' Now everyone makes something, and those who make things on a canvas with a frame, they're called artists. Formerly, they were called craftsmen, a term I prefer. We're all craftsmen, in civilian or military or artistic life. Marcel Duchamp I was an anxious kid. I worried about getting homework finished, even back when homework didn't count for anything. Andrea Seigel You really do have the license during fashio...

Also by my earliest days, I was fascinated by a utopian vision of what the

world could be like. I've thought that science could be the basis for a better world, and that's what I've been trying to do all these years. George E. Brown, Jr. Marriage is an adventure, like going to war. Gilbert K. Chesterton Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art. Frank Lloyd Wright I believe that present day civilized man suffers from insufficient discharge of his aggressive drive. Konrad Lorenz Democracy is constructed like an edifice, freedom by freedom, right by right, until it reaches its snapping point. Abdoulaye Wade Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid. Orson Welles It's bad when you fail morally. It's worse when you don't repent. Luis Palau
