Michael CrichtonIt's such hard work doing a musical. I did my first musical last year, performing in The Producers, and it was a big part to suddenly be doing Leo Bloom in that. It's such hard work. It's a proper slog. It became like clocking in. And it's a big factory - you go in, everyone's got their little plot, people are taking in and out of it if they have days off or holidays, and it's just a jigsaw that all works. It always amazes me that this product would happen every night and it was just all these elements coming together in a big machine.

Big John's son Little John did badly in high school, and the police caught him selling dope. So he joined the Army while the Vietnam War was going on.

Ashton KutcherIn the late-'80s, there was a big push to make American football big in Scotland. The Super Bowl was on TV, but it didn't really catch on.

I think that he honestly believed I was going to make a difference in the game.

Richard LinklaterHow many of the unicorn companies are really prosaic businesses - like limousine services or renting rooms in your house? The original VC firms from the '70's made their money and established the reputation of their respective brands by leveraging big cleverness with small capital, not small cleverness with big capital, and that's what's going on with these unicorns. That has never worked and it won't work this time. It doesn't produce venture quality returns, and it never will.
