Olivia WilliamsThe French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore.

Jon M. ChuIt's not natural to have to suffer when we work. We're made to be productive, and yet the world we live in, there's a whole bunch of suffering.

Neil GaimanWhen you're in [ Bahamas], it feels like a bunch of islands, with keys and things like that. It's an existential archipelago. It's funny, you try to escape who you are and where you're from, but it's always part of your social DNA.
Tavares StrachanWhy is the media doing what they're doing? Well, there are many answers for it. I don't mean to be insulting anybody here. Clearly, the media hates Trump, yeah, and clearly the media's a bunch of leftists and they don't like Trump's policies, and clearly this and clearly that. But there's another factor to this, too, that I don't think can be denied - and I think they're scared to death. Donald Trump is unraveling, bit by bit, major elements of the Barack Obama agenda.

But what I discovered was a bunch of really happy actors who want to make the best show possible, because it's fun. Not for any other reason.

It might be the shoes people wear.
Jason Isaacslf youโre going to deal with reality, youโre going to have to make one big discovery: Reality is something that belongs to you as an individual.
