I’m still finding myself as an artist. I’m still experimenting a little bit. Jacob Whitesides Read Quote
When I started, you didn’t focus so much on production, certainly not – gosh – down to the finest little detail of how you shifted your eyes or how you turned to somebody. A lot of the shots were far away from a still camera. There weren’t as many close-ups and intimacy. Shawn Michaels Read Quote
The United States wanted to send its trained rebel groups to Syria to fight ISIS. Out of twenty-five hundred rebels they had trained, only seventy accepted to go to Syria to fight ISIS. Everybody else wanted to go to Syria to fight the government. So you’ve got to wake up and smell the coffee… The rebel groups have not fired a shot against ISIS. Mohammad Javad Zarif Read Quote

It’s funny: being green to me was ingrained because my parents were always trying to save money, save water, turn off the lights, or arrange a carpool. I don’t think my parents even know what it means to be green, but they were. Su-chin Pak Read Quote
Growing up, it was uncool to admit that your family had any money. And then, instantly, money was cool.

John Cameron Mitchell Read Quote
I never planned my career. I never planned to be president of Harvard. People would have thought I was crazy, probably, at the age of 8 or 10 or 20, if I had said that. So what I would say to people planning their careers is to be ready to improvise. Be ready to follow up on opportunities as they unfold. Drew Gilpin Faust Read Quote
George Saunders’s ‘Lincoln in the Bardo’ is a hands-down masterpiece – the subject of Abraham Lincoln and the genius of this author is a perfect union. Jeffrey Tambor Read Quote
I get a lot of people saying to me, ‘Oh, you’re the actor who plays the nutters,’ and I’m not. I’m the guy who plays human beings. I understand why the characters are doing what they’re doing. When you play a villain, you don’t play a villain: you play a human being doing what he thinks he needs to do to get what he wants. Eddie Marsan Read Quote
