David ShusterBeauty can be consoling, disturbing, sacred, profane; it can be exhilarating, appealing, inspiring, chilling. It can affect us in an unlimited variety of ways.

I have a personal Instagram where my friends follow me.

Damon RunyonFor people to even be interested and to reach out and say "I can't wait for you to come out with something", it's just so inspiring and motivating.

Unfortunately, Navy leaders at Pearl Harbor, struggling to protect what was left of the shattered Pacific Fleet, canceled a relief mission, allowing the island and its defenders to fall without support.

It's almost like a maze, like I know eventually I'll hit the heart of my play if I read enough books.

Phil DusenberryReligion begins in story. Yes, it does, because religion is an attempt to make sense of what is incomprehensible to us, what is inexplicable, what is awe-inspiring, what is frightening, what moves us to great wonder, and so on. That is the religious impulse, and it is part of our psychological makeup -- of everyone's psychological makeup.

All the inspiring ideas we have as artists originate here.

Jordan Sonnenblick[The American public demands] a sense of legitimacy from and in the presidency. There is more to this than dignity, more than propriety.
