I’ve improved as an actor, thanks to my wonderful directors. As a person, I’ve changed, too; I was 16 when I did ‘Thullavatho Ilamai,’ and I’m 32 now. With age, I’ve sobered down. I’m calmer; I can see things more clearly now. – Dhanush

Haitian rice farmers are quite efficient, but they can’t compete with U.S. agribusiness that relies on a huge government subsidy, thanks to Ronald Reagan’s free market enthusiasms. – Noam Chomsky
I no longer care about the financial system. I gave them my roadmap. OK? Thanks, bye. I’ve no idea what’s going on. I’m disconnected. I’m totally disengaged. – Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Estimates are that in 2012, more than 32 million books were available – the explosion, thanks to the ease of self-publishing; 2013 could see even more titles grace our virtual bookstores! That means we are going to be awash in covers and titles, plot descriptions and characters. – M. J. Rose
I’d always avoided stuff like ‘Where are they now?’ or ‘Whatever happened to?’ Just ‘No thanks, thanks for calling.’ You tell me, have you ever seen a ‘Whatever happened to’ where they seemed anything but pathetic? – Jackie Earle Haley

I own all the characters I created, thanks to the Writers Guild, so nobody can do anything without me.

If I instigate a project, like the musical, I pay a percentage to the copyright owners. – Sherwood Schwartz
Nobody ever thanks you for saving them from the disease they didn’t know they were going to get. – William Foege
