Making movies is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously, productively, and creatively. That's a challenge. When it works, it's fantastic and will lift you up. When it doesn't work, it's almost just as fascinating.

Fort Smith, being the place of my longest stay, was the scene of my largest medical practice.

Rupert Murdoch is probably the most successful media proprietor and operator in history.

Conrad Black

Being divorced is like being hit by a Mack truck. If you live through it, you start looking very carefully to the right and to the left.

Jean Kerr

The Golden Rule of Parenting is do unto your children as you wish your parents had done unto you!

Louise Hart

Never trust any complicated cocktail that remainds perfectly clear until the last ingredient goes in, and then immediately clouds.

Terry Pratchett

A custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fume thereof nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless.

King James I

I am always a beginner. I only try to include different parts of life; the pastoral, the tragic, et cetera.

Ian Hamilton Finlay

It's funny how we 'do' Christmas. Christmas is not something that we do, it is something that was done. It celebrates the long awaited arrival of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. We had nothing to do with it, but what we can do is praise God for the coming of the Lord, who washed away the sins of the world by dying on the cross.

Monica Johnson

I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty. But I am too busy thinking about myself.

Dame Edith Sitwell

A man who dares to waste one hour of his life has not discovered the value of life.

Charles Darwin

I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.
