I do hope that our spring will be starting shortly and we will all be able to enjoy some sunshine again.

We have often been attracted to the story of the other, the outcast. And he and I just loved working together, so it just kept happening, and our relationship is completely bound up with our work. We enjoy each other's art.

Julie Taymor

Among minor alterations, I may mention the substitution for the name political economy of the single convenient term economics. I cannot help thinking that it would be well to discard, as quickly as possible, the old troublesome double-worded name of our science.

William Stanley Jevons

I think if you're a competent actor with a good imagination, and if it's on the page, it makes your job a lot easier.

Miguel Ferrer

My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.

William Shakespeare

If you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics - a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage - surely that proves that you are in the right?

George Orwell
