I read a lot of books to my children, and they all seem really good. I think people have gotten really good at children's books.
Penn Jillette
The Asian airlines have the best wine programs.
Alain Ducasse

Annie Besant

Joe Dante
Any rehearsal process - I find, anyway - does have quite an effect on me, and I very much live in that world for the whole period of time that I'm involved with the production. But normally, afterwards with a little bit of space, I can come right back out of it again.

Martin Jacques
UNICEF has made the most rewarding thing that I have ever done in my life.
Nana Mouskouri
I write books to find out about things.
Rebecca West
The thing I really like about Twitter is the speed with which information reaches me. You find out things from Twitter long before they're on the news. That, I think, is valuable.
Salman Rushdie
One thing I hate in movies is when the camera starts circling around the characters. I find that totally fake.
Takeshi Kitano
When Grover Norquist launched his project to name anything and everything after Ronald Reagan, I humbly proposed that the deficit be re-christened 'the Reagan.'
