I felt New York was a big, more stylish, more metropolitan Golders Green. I was thrilled. – Simon Schama
The sets on ‘Defiance’ are incredible. I’ve never really seen a set like this, where the world is so built around us. There’s not too much left for us to have to imagine. We do a lot of stuff on the green screen as well, but when we’re outside in the streets, it’s all there. It’s amazing! The creators have just been incredible. – Stephanie Leonidas
My favorite records are, like, The Pretty Things’ ‘Parachute’ and ‘S.F. Sorrow’ and The Mothers of Invention’s ‘We’re Only in It for the Money’ and The Kinks’ ‘Village Green Preservation Society’ – these records that have a story – even if it’s not a literal story – because of how they’re sequenced and flow. It’s like a novel with sound. – Ty Segall
You gotta stick your neck out and put out a record that isn’t safe… that’s the Green Day way! – Tre Cool
The attempts to command the climate and decide about the temperature on our planet are wrong and arrogant. I wrote a book about it which was published in English under the title ‘Blue Planet in Green Shackles.’ – Vaclav Klaus
Although he moved away from the Midwest for good at the age of thirteen, Ray Bradbury is a prairie writer. The prairie is in his voice, and it is his moral compass. It is his years spent in Waukegan, Illinois – later rechristened by Ray as ‘Green Town’ in many books and stories – that forever shaped him. – Sam Weller

As I see it, a green salad is an open invitation to carrots, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and the sprouts that grow in jars on my kitchen counter. – Victoria Moran
My first years were spent living just as my forefathers had lived – roaming the green, rolling hills of what are now the states of South Dakota and Nebraska. – Standing Bear
Comedies are just never that expensive quite frankly. They really aren’t. We aren’t doing green screen shooting, so even Hangover II in Bangkok might seem like it’s expensive, you’re flying over and back, but they’re just not that expensive to make when you do it the way we do it which is very focused and I’ve done it before. – Todd Phillips
I’m a big fan of skilled singers. Some of my favorites are Cee-Lo Green, Donny Hathaway, James Fauntleroy, and Kim Burrell. – Seinabo Sey

Green vegetables are something that fascinate chefs; the ability to keep vegetables green. How do we keep them green? What makes them green? Why are they green? And then that sort of army green. Why do they go from bright vibrant electric green to army green, and how can we avoid that? – Wylie Dufresne
I actually had a movie green lit at Disney the same week ‘Burlesque’ was green lit – a movie for Disney called ‘Mash-Up’, about a high school marching band. – Steve Antin
Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it’s a green light. – Taylor Swift
