Eudora Welty’s ‘A Curtain of Green’ had an enormous effect on me. But my early attempts to graft stories from the Deep South onto North of England provincialism were not successful. All were rejected.

My feet are definitely more grounded than before. And I know that I’m not holding onto a dream. I’m holding onto my life.
You have to force yourself to give up and to move onto something else. That’s the way you grow as a writer, by trying new things and tackling new subjects. But it’s difficult. There’s part of you that doesn’t want to give up because you realize that, in some way, you’re surrendering.

I like to be buttoned onto tradition. The thing is to improve it, twist it and mold it; to make something new of it; not to deny it. The riches of history can be plucked at any point.
Doug Ford was one of the first of the old pros I saw during my first full year on tour, in 1963. To this day he’s the best chipper I’ve ever seen. One thing Doug did was get the ball onto the green and rolling right away, keeping it as low as possible. He never hit his chips higher than was absolutely necessary.
In many cases, contemporary materialisms map uncannily well onto Pre-Socratic ideas such that instead of Anaximander, we have the physicist David Bohm and his idea of an underlying ‘implicate order‘ that transcends time and space.

I didn’t know what acting school was, so I went onto the computer and typed ‘acting school.’ I found one in Berlin, and I found ones in Vienna, Zurich, and London. I went to all of those places to audition. You were supposed to have two monologues, and I only had one.

I tend to – every time I step onto the set until the time I go back to the hotel, I just try to be in character all the time.

There are a million great books out there if you just go to Google. There’s a lot to pull apart. A lot of crazy, unbelievable stuff that’s all completely true. I get into little obsessions, and I read everything I can find on one thing, and then I move onto another.
Limitations are something that I latch onto – like working in genre, or if you’re writing TV, there are act breaks, there’s a length of time it’s supposed to be. The restrictions of budget and sets can be really useful. When you can have everything, it’s very hard to make things feel real and lived in.
The second I walk onto the set and I know that there’s a camera and I know that there’s a David Twohy behind that camera, there is zero pressure. There is just me jumping into a pool called ‘Riddick.’ It’s the most free I am. It’s like channeling something.

If some day you’re struggling with math, and you think, ‘I don’t think I can do this,’ you can – you actually can. Everybody has their hard days – I definitely had mine – and you get through them, and you learn from that stumble, and then you’re onto the next problem.
As the Indian government has embraced greater economic openness, the creativity and expertise of the Indian workforce has been unleashed onto the world economic stage.

I mean, first of all, let me say whichever superhero first came up with the idea of wearing a cape, he wasn’t really onto anything good. The number of times I’m treading on that damn thing or I throw a punch and it ends up covering my whole head. It’s really not practical.
Capitalism can never pursue deterritorialization to the absolute. What deterritorialization there is within capitalism is always balanced by a compensatory lockdown onto nation, culture, and race. Hence the ‘Steampunk’ quality of capitalism, where the most ancient traditions can co-exist with the ultramodern.

I love skating so much and I feel like every time I step out onto the ice, that’s what I’m meant to do.

People who treated me like that when I was younger got every bit of respect and attention I could give them, because I knew that they were coming at me from almost an equal level.
I firmly believe that you can’t get a good movie without risking a bad movie. A good adaptation of your book is worth it because it is such a wonderful experience to see your world translated onto the screen.

Players like Ronaldinho and Neymar started in futsal schools. Denilson loved playing too, looking for things to take onto the soccer pitch.
No, no, I don’t watch football. The last time I tried watching was the last Super Bowl. The problem I have is, you know, the graphic nature of my imagination; when I watch and see them meeting head onto head, helmet onto helmet, what flashes through my mind is what’s going on in their brains. It’s like torture to me.
When I was a little girl, I watched old movies maybe shot at Paramount Studios, and the fact that every day I get to drive onto the lot and shoot a show that sometimes takes place in the ’40s, it’s very interesting.

I think, when I was younger and I was on loan, I used to get nervous before games, but as you get older, you adapt to it, and it becomes second nature to walk out onto the pitch and perform.
I always felt before Paul Brown, coaches just rolled the ball out onto the field.
You have to latch onto somebody while you’re working.
When I grew up, I saw the moon landing, and I was fascinated watching them as a child, and that’s what really turned me onto space and science fiction, and I started watching things like ‘Lost In Space,’ and that led me to ‘Star Trek,’ which was a major influence on my life.
For me anyway, until I was exposed to doing improvisation and walking onto a stage without any script, I would have never felt comfortable enough to walk into a room with someone like Larry David and audition.

I really, really like Nicole Richie, and the only reason why I always bring her up is because I’m impressed with her style evolution. This is someone that came onto the scene that people didn’t necessarily view as a style icon, and she completely switched up the game. And I like how she takes risks with fashion.
I don’t know why my lines that were cut from the film didn’t make it onto the DVD. I have offered to go into the editing room with Christopher and work shoulder to shoulder with him to fit all my lines in. I think he thinks I’m kidding. I’m only trying to help.
When Tim Allen made The Santa Clause, I thought that was a delightful film. It took a modern sensibility but layered onto it a kind of sentiment.
I use pure acetone Nail Polish Remover from Nails Inc. to really strip the nail. It’s actually important to dehydrate your nail a little bit to get rid of all of the oil before you put color on; then the color will really stick. Then, I use OPI Bond Aid. It’s a liquid dehydrator that you paint onto each nail.
Family, work, familiarity. Listen, if I had a magic wand and I could make myself really be happy, I’d zap me onto a farm. And I know nothing about farming.

Some of the storytelling we did in ‘Battlestar Galactica,’ to graft that onto ‘Star Trek,’ it would have required changing the entire format of the show and, really, a different taste of the show.
I think there are times when you walk onto a set you can potentially be either intimidated or distracted by what’s going on around you.
For a while, gently bumping into my nightstand meant a pile of 50 books clattering onto my head and the floor. After the 10th time this happened, I moved most of the books to a shelf in the spare room. Now, my nightstand is sort of like a bookish country club. And not all books get in.

If I get a week off, I’ll go to a hotel that has a golf course. I like to come downstairs and go right onto the course. I’ll do that five days in a row.
I had never done a 90-minute play with no intermission, so it is a bit like you get onto the train and you don’t get off until it’s over – and it’s over very quickly, so don’t miss a moment of it. That experience is very rare and specific so don’t miss a minute, because there aren’t very many minutes of it.

While she has shown some interest in ‘protecting‘ students from the non-existent threat of grizzlies wandering onto their campuses, she has never run, taught in, attended, or sent a child to a public school.
I think the sitcom is the format for television. It’s the essential form, and it represents more of the canon of TV, which is why I latched onto it.

I always gravitate towards the independent side of things, just because those are the stories I always fall in love with, but you don’t really get paid, and living in Los Angeles is expensive, and I have a mortgage to pay. So it’s good to jump onto a studio film and then in all my other time do small passion projects.
It’s glorious to be able to go onto the Internet and hear any kind of music anywhere, from anywhere, and get it instantly. But there’s also something glorious about having a record with a sleeve and looking at the artwork, putting it on the turntable and playing it, there’s still something romantic to me about that.
The making of ‘Naked‘ was an absolutely phenomenal, mind-bending experience. That film was life-changing and put my career onto a whole different level.

Back in 2000, I had come to a crossroads in my life, unsure about what career path I should pursue. Shepherd, bouncer, philosopher king, ventriloquist or perhaps man on the flying trapeze. Fortunately, I was guided back onto the path of the magical world of music.

When I was a kid, we actually lived in a house that had been divided in two at one point, which meant that one room in our house opened up onto a brick wall. And I was convinced all I had to do was just open it the right way and it wouldn’t be a brick wall. So I’d sidle over to the door and I’d pull it open.
You know, we don’t have any decorative sprigs of rosemary; we’re not placing little matchstick radishes onto an hors d’oeuvre… The food’s gotta taste good. The concept’s gotta taste good.

Despite the fact the studio looks out of five windows onto a picture perfect view of sky, hills and wide open spaces, I work with my blinds firmly drawn, daylight filtered through their white canvas, a painterly northern light falling through two big skylights above my table, and nothing visible outside to distract me.
I was world’s champion in every aspect of the life. Whether it was sitting in a steak house eating a steak or getting onto the edge of the ring with two or three people standing there, it was all the same to me. I was world’s champion, and for that reason, I was world’s champion.

When you procrastinate, you’re more likely to let your mind wander. That gives you a better chance of stumbling onto the unusual and spotting unexpected patterns.
I don’t think you should ever say, ‘This is the last time’. Music isn’t like that. You’ll be sitting there not wishing to get onto a stage again for maybe two, three, four, five months, or maybe a year, then suddenly you’ll wake up and feel like you’ve got to do it again. It’s in the blood, and I never say never.
One of the songs we recorded for ‘The Long Run‘ was called ‘You’re Really High, Aren’t You?’ Which never really made it onto a record, but later on, it became ‘Heavy Metal.’ I took that track that wasn’t used, and when I was invited to write a song for that movie, I took that track and recorded that song for that movie.
Some people fascinate me. They really worship at the altar of their careers, you know? And it’s terrifying. It’s sort of like setting a table and waiting for someone to come along and whoosh – push all the plates onto the floor.
The main thing going through my head when I step out onto any show is: ‘Don’t mess it up, Emma, don’t mess it up.’

When the Internet came along, the first thing I did was look up Wu-Tang so I could print out their symbol and glue it onto my skateboard.
VR should be more emotionally involving, but that doesn’t happen automatically by just taking a VR camera and sticking it onto what would be a traditionally blocked scene for 2D.

One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that young players – I mean 10- and 12-year-olds – really like my guitar style. There’s something in my guitar style that they totally can latch onto and learn quickly, and then go from there to your Yngwie Malmsteens or your Steve Vais or whatever.
I love mythology and folklore, and I respect the time, money, and opportunity that a film gives to an audience.

What are we empathizing to?’

It’s every little girl’s dream to go onto the World Cup.

When we were bringing ‘Raisin‘ onto Broadway, our first stop was at Arena in D.C.

I am a huge fan of ‘Batman’. As a kid watching it, there are certain things that I’m not going to latch onto as much as when I’ve gotten older.

My mother and my father have always supported me. Now in their eighties, they actually clamor onto the tour bus with me once or twice a year so they can watch the performances and hear the crowds.

Music was your real passion, this thing you held dear even above family. It was this relationship that never betrayed you.

You don’t hire for mediocrity. Instead, you bring people onto your team because you know that they’ll make a valuable contribution and turn in amazing work. But, in order to have that expectation, you need to make sure you’re fostering an environment that allows them to do so.

At the heart of anti-Semitism lies Moses. He made a catastrophic error, a terrible mistake, and all anti-Semitism for two thousand years stems from his misjudgement.

In most of the European countries – France stands out in its resistance to this particular form of American cultural imperialism – the national film industries were forced onto the defensive after the war by such binding agreements.

When people ask me if I’m liberal or conservative, I say, ‘Yeah.’ I’m both of them. To be a liberal means to be open-minded and generous and open to new ideas. And to be conservative means to hold onto things that are important, things that shouldn’t be cast aside.
I mean, this whole digital revolution is really eroding the director’s importance on a movie because, number one, just from a practical standpoint, with floppy disks and the ability to put all of the film onto a disk, more people have access to the movie.

After my first week of no wheat, my stomachaches were gone, my mucous cleared up, and I felt incredibly energetic.

I think cinema should provoke thoughts, sure, but using it as I soapbox I think is the wrong place. I never want to be part of something like that, where there’s an agenda there that’s not about telling a story, where its someone getting on a soapbox and preaching their own beliefs onto somebody.

Sure, jets are fast and economical, but, oh my, what fun we’ve lost and what leisure we’ve sacrificed in the race to efficiency. Somehow, stepping onto a plane and zooming across the United States in a matter of hours doesn’t hold a candle to the dear, old-fashioned train ride.
I think that there was a lot of fantasy projected onto me, and that resulted in a reappropriation and re-characterization of who I am.

The excitement of stepping onto a stage – there’s nothing quite like it.
I like to do a face steam, so, heat up a flannel, press it onto your face and then press a cold one on afterwards to close the pores. It’s inexpensive!

Octavia Spencer rocks. But just as a human being, she’s so down-to-earth. Talk about being pleasantly surprised.

It has been, after all, 11 years, more than a decade now, of defiance of U.N. resolutions by Saddam Hussein. Every obligation that he signed onto after the Gulf War, so that he would not be a threat to peace and security, he has ignored and flaunted.
Nuclear countries are those countries that are big and powerful. It is difficult to criticize them and try to lead them onto a humanitarian path. But we can only do what we can and appeal to their sense of reason.

We’re all struggling to get out of the past. We see something that reminds us of something, and then we bring our baggage into the present. Then we project it onto people constantly.

I went onto reality TV as a business decision.
I grew up in the theater. I began my career at 3. That was the first time I stepped onto a provisional stage.
