There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge available to us: observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination. Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.

I'm fed up with the idiots... the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies.

Marcus Tullius Cicero De Officii

My grandfather gave me inspiration to cook, and love food and flavors. My Aunt Raffie, gave me creativity and the inspiration to create new things. My mother inspires me to find simplicity in food.

You've got to set yourself up to be as healthy as you can. The thing we tend to do is when it gets to be a bit too hard, we actually opt out for the absolute worst option. For example, if you're in a rush in a morning and you feel like you don't have time to make breakfast, you skip it.

Curtis Stone

It's hard to incorporate dance into movies I think.

Jamie Bell

You cannot make peace with terrorists. The normal dividing lines between war and peace do not apply.

Ulrich Beck

We're in a time now where technology is such that we can create anything, and that's what's new about television and film these days.

Jennifer Morrison

If you make a living, if you earn your own money, you're free - however free one can be on this planet.

Theodore White

I have come back again to where I belong; not an enchanted place, but the walls are strong.
