That was cool, getting to work with Ryan Gosling. I knew he was going to be a huge star after I saw him in that Showtime thing that he did when he was really young [The Believer].

Ellie GouldingI never go home and take out those business cards and go to those websites. But if there was a mini-comic here in my hand, I'd read it while I ate my lunch.

Adrian TomineLife was so much simpler in pre-video days when everyone refused invitations because the 'Forsyte Saga' was on.

Shane DawsonAs I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.
Ernest HemingwayI was uncomfortable because I had never been that nude before. I had never shown my legs, and never shown quite that much skin.

If that didn't work, he just ate 'em. - Kenny Traveler

It is all these things that have made them what they are, and these are the things that you can't come to know by hearsay.

John ConnollyThe problem with multiculturalism is it's kind of arrogant. The arrogance is the assumption that everyone will buy into our values, because they have to be Superior.
