I’ve slipped on occasion into the realm of irresponsible invective, but I try to avoid it and generally recant when I fall short. Because name-calling does nothing to improve understanding or move the political debate forward. – Mark McKinnon
What I learned, a little too late, was that the ‘traditional’ Martin Short target viewer weighs under 300 pounds. Unfortunately, I was on during daytime. – Martin Short
We have to be aware that fossil fuel energy sources have an expiry date. A timeframe of 30, 40 or 50 years can seem a long time to get rewards for economic policy, but it’s only a short time for implementing a new energy policy. – Carlo Rubbia
You know, it’s sort of common wisdom among New York publishers that short story collections don’t make money. – Chad Harbach
I think a moratorium probably is legal, and we should probably for a short period of time impose a moratorium so that we don’t permit any additional landfill permits for the time being, so we don’t exacerbate the problem. – Ed Rendell
Certainly, I’ve loved musicals for a while, so I did some short films in college that had musical numbers and things like that, so I’ve kind of been obsessed with Fred and Ginger and Vincente Minnelli and Stanley Donen and Jaques Demy forever. – Damien Chazelle
The Court’s primary duty, in short, is not to minimize its role or avoid friction with the political branches, but to try as best it can to get the Constitution right. – Diane S. Sykes
If it’s really so wonderful that both partners have to work to make a living to pay for their house, for health insurance, someone is obviously going to get the short end of the stick. – Eric Braeden
Arts and crafts, or getting to be in a play with people, or making a little short film, that’s pure sugar, because the stakes are so low. – David Rakoff
I’m sure there’s somebody out there who doesn’t like Betty White because she’s short and has white hair. – Ellen DeGeneres
I think the short story is a very underrated art form. We know that novels deserve respect. – Neil Gaiman
In short, the hunt for bin Laden could not have been accomplished without every form of American intelligence-gathering. – Peter L. Bergen
I try to wear a watch all the time, because I think guys get the short end of the stick when it comes to jewelry and accessories. A watch is a very chic men’s item, and you’re sort of wasting it if you just look at your cell phone. – Derek Blasberg
When you head on out to the Moon, in very short order, and you get a chance to look back at the Earth, that horizon slowly curves around in upon himself, and all of sudden you’re looking at something that is very strange, but yet is very, very familiar, because you’re beginning to see the Earth evolve. – Eugene Cernan
My natural hair is short and naturally grows to frame my face. So that’s my favorite. I also like tree-braids. They’re easy, fast, there’s not much pulling on your hair, and they are very lightweight. – Erica Ash
An attitude to life which seeks fulfillment in the single-minded pursuit of wealth – in short, materialism – does not fit into this world, because it contains within itself no limiting principle, while the environment in which it is placed is strictly limited. – E. F. Schumacher
I think one has to understand that there are stages in life, and that the life of an athlete has its limits. It’s short, and then it stops, and sooner or later you have to accept that. – David Nalbandian
For short term relaxation, I take a hot tub. It’s my best way to unblock writers’ block, too. For a bit longer relaxation, I enjoy camping. Just being in the wilderness, with no phones or computers or anything I have to do really refreshes my spirit. – Ellen Hopkins
A short film is just another storytelling medium like TV, Features, and Webisodes. I am just thrilled that ‘Silent Cargo’ is getting out there for people to see. – Ellen Wong
The energy transition demands a clear vision of the steps that need to be taken and a stable, meaningful regulatory framework. It appears important to us to awaken public opinion to the fact that this transition will necessarily come at a cost and will, at least in the short term, involve a price increase. – Christophe de Margerie
Sports movies are a genre that I really respond to, but they can be done really poorly and really fall short. The good ones are just so good and inspiring and make you feel good. – David Walton
I was actually sacked from my first job. It was at a workshop for a short film this poet had written, about when she used to work in a strip club. After the first week, I was told not to come back. – Daisy Ridley
Hunger has no ideology. It does not respond to party or to rant. Hunger, in short, is not a red state/blue state problem. – Donna Brazile
Short fiction is like low relief. And if your story has no humor in it, then you’re trying to look at something in the pitch dark. With the light of humor, it throws what you’re writing into relief so that you can actually see it. – Elizabeth McCracken
I was going to shave it. It went in two parts. I got a bob first but it kept falling all over my face. Then it was off, short. The main reason it was long was because my mother cut it short when I was little and I was trying to make up for that. – Cathy Freeman
I did a short film called ‘Disco’ and won an award for Best Supporting Actor at an indie film festival, and that was nice. Hopefully there’s lots more to come. – Charlie Rowe
