I wasn’t one to go out and buy a new car and stereo system and expensive clothes. My mom helped keep me grounded. Christina Applegate Read Quote
The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original. Dean Koontz Read Quote
I shop a lot from the children’s section and, sometimes, from the men’s section. You’ll find skirts, shirts and shoes from the children’s section. My friends buy me more adult-like clothes, and I love those. But I cannot do away with the colourful stuff. Shweta Tripathi Read Quote
I first read ‘The Scarlet Letter’ when I was fifteen. In it, I found a familiar vision of religious intolerance to the one around me. I grew up in the 1980s, when televangelists, with their fluffed up hair and their tears, self-righteously denounced all kinds of sinners, reserving a special, full-throated enthusiasm for gay people. David Ebershoff Read Quote
I was on record before I did ‘The Hobbit,’ saying I don’t care at all about 3D. And I suppose I should now say I care a lot about 3D. I’ve always loved 3D, I think everything should be 3D, and I think it’s just a shame ‘The Godfather’ wasn’t in 3D. Martin Freeman Read Quote
Poetry is a special use of language that opens onto the real. The business of the poet is truth telling, which is why in the Celtic tradition no one could be a teacher unless he or she was a poet. Huston Smith Read Quote
I got into dub a long time ago. I was into dub before I even had any interest in reggae or Jamaican songs, Bob Marley, or any of those established artists. I just thought it was such an unusual sound. Bill Laswell Read Quote
