Daniel HandlerWe've been led to believe that we have a very dumbed-down society - and that people are not thinking and are just sort of interested in escapism. However, if you look at this young generation, what I've been noticing is that they are extremely compassionate.

As adults we are failing them by not providing them with any sort of guidance, any map, or any blueprint to do this stuff.

Clemence PoesyI was not popular in school, and I was definitely not a ladies' man. And I had a very painful adolescence, because it was all very strange to me.

Joss WhedonBecause of my compact and muscular body composition, my short hair, and my "Johawk," I have been mistaken for a boy on many occasions. Each time it happens, it feels like I have been punched in the gut. It is extremely discouraging.
Joanna LohmanThere's the internal rhythm within a sequence, and then there's the rhythm between the sequences, and that's extremely important in constructing the narrative.

Frederick WisemanI had some people who disagreed with me here or there - but nothing as strong as I've received, you know, coming to America. That is the irony of life, so I guess - I always tell people - I go I feel like in a strange way, I'm home. You know, this doesn't shock me. This is just - I've come a long way to be in a place that is extremely familiar to me.
Trevor NoahWhenever possible, I like to have the supreme head of a company show me over the works.

I'm an extremely conscientious producer and now equally as a director and it now gives me the opportunity to look at the entire movie and allow the movie to be the creative vision of the actors, the writer and myself, because I'm in charge of it from a producer and a director point of view. It gives me freedom and it gives me a certain degree of responsibility at the same time.

Nancy O'DellIf you look at the statistics of fratricide or intra-sibling homicide, it's extremely rare. And look at Burke [Ramsey] and JonBenet at the time of her murder. She was the powerhouse, the firecracker; she's the dominant one, not him. I just don't see it. And as I recall, John Ramsey passed a lie detector test. I can unequivocally say that Burke is not the killer nor do I think John Ramsey is the killer. Let's leave it there.
Nancy GraceAmy Winehouse was not a person I ever met, and I can't say that I am overly conversant in all of her music.
