Molly Ivins

Powerful, Against, Weapon

Yeah, Kubrick's a big influence. In something like 'A Clockwork Orange,' he is trying to use the practical light - I mean, at least he says that in his interviews, like they're not using traditionally Hollywood lights. In 'Elephant' we basically used no lights; we never really adjusted.
Gus Van Sant

Mean, Trying, Light

Historically, China is not a nation of sportsmen. We traditionally put more emphasis on being close to nature than pushing endlessly to excel. A philosophy that values tranquil contemplation of the landscape cannot easily be adapted to the Olympic slogan of 'higher, stronger, faster.'
Ai Weiwei

Julie Burchill

Different, Here, Coming

I was too young to remember this, but my dad says that I was running up onstage before they even asked us.
Dan Stevens

Dad, Remember, Small

America traditionally represents the greatest possibility of someone's going from nothing to something. Why?

We call this capitalism - or, at least, we used to.
Larry Elder

Government, Failure, Greatest

Government, Weak, Seen

Well I think everything up to this point that I've been exposed to in my life has had an influence on me in some way, shape, or form even if I'm not conscious of it.

Criss Angel

Life, Everything, Point
