I think that's what distinguishes Schmidt, really. In the movies now, so much of what is appealing to an audience is the dramatic or has to do with science fiction, and Schmidt is simply human. There's no melodrama there's no device, It's just about a human being.

For whatever reason, not all people are born with the particular gift of being able to express ourselves through music. And, believe me, it is a gift.

Conrad Black

Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.

Benjamin Disraeli

Hugh Leonard

I will not have my son grow up in a tension-filled home.

Christina Aguilera

Sometimes overturning brutal regimes takes time and costs lives. I wish it weren't so. I really, really do.

Hillary Clinton

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.

Neil Gaiman

I'd say it's been my biggest problem all my life... it's money. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true.

Walt Disney

Come to West Virginia and we'll show you how to live... how to treat people. We're open for business. West Virginia is truly on the move.

Joe Manchin

We can in fact first place the beam of rays of moving positive atomic ions in a plane perpendicular to the axis in which we see the spectral lines emitted by them.
