~By Peter Mayhew ~
I'm always looking, as an actor, for activities. I think it's far more interesting to watch what people do than what they say. You always want to watch behavior, because the dialogue as written by our illustrious leaders is great. Eminently playable.
~By Adam Baldwin ~

~By Dwight Schultz ~

~By Geoffrey Fisher ~
The truth of the matter is that muggers are very interesting people.

~By Barry Levinson ~
Anything goes. You always find interesting things that way.
~By Beck ~
We didn't become the most prosperous country in the world just by rewarding greed and recklessness. We didn't come this far by letting the special interests run wild.

~By Judith Rossner ~
Yes, women are stronger than us. They face more directly the problems that confront them, and for that reason they are much more spectacular to talk about. I don't know why I am more interested in women, because I don't go to any psychiatrists, and I don't want to know why.
~By Pedro Almodovar ~

~By Lakhdar Brahimi ~
So there's always been this clash between what is the public good - that which belongs to all of us in common - and what can be exploited for a private interest.

~By Lara St. John ~
It feels kinda weird being back in a high school cause I haven't been in a high school for about a year. So um, it's kinda interesting coming back, and y'know seeing the lockers, with all the signs, the handmade signs, so being in high school again is a little bit strange but in a good way.
