But people tuned into a fighter like me because I put people to sleep.

Earlier today, I heard someone say the words, "I felt at one with the divine source of creation." Mary Roach on a conducted tour of Hades. I had to fight the urge to push back my chair and start screaming: STAND BACK! ALL OF YOU! I'VE GOT AN ARTHUR FINDLAY BOX CUTTER! Instead, I quietly excused myself and went to the bar, to commune with spirits I know how to relate to.
Mary RoachI wanted my first film to be something where I was surrounded by an amazing cast.

All these things they make life so exciting, you don't know what to expect next.
Jeremy RoenickWhen I go and speak now at all sorts of conferences, later in the night there's always a better Maxie Walker than me. Billy Birmingham's legendary for basically being able to verbally kneecap any of a number of Australia's characters, particularly in the commentary box.

Or as deep as rhubarb. Green like spring grass. Blue that shimmers like ice on water.
Suzanne CollinsWhen we cracked the genetic DNA code, opened the big Pandora's box, and it really did become possible to produce chimeras, my ears shot up.
