I think the diversity of authors and readers is expanding, which is wonderful, because it means the type of story being told is also expanding.
It's not enough to hit the notes. There is no point in the singers just standing there and sounding wonderful if they're not connecting with the characters they are portraying.
The worm hissed. "You said it couldn't see!" shouted Oates, forgetting Umber's instruction to be silent. He shook a fist. "We all heard it, Umber! You specifically said, it couldn't see!" "I know-isn't it wonderful to learn something new?" Umber laughed.
One of the wonderful things about making a film of any genre is that you have dialogue. You can take up a position. If you want to say something about your position, you can just say it. You don't have to spend massive amounts of screen time.
What I think is the universal, wonderful thing about music, is that it's very inclusive.
One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye; it transcends speech; it is the bodily symbol of identity.
I was really lucky. I had a really great opportunity. I went to an all girls, very small private school from seventh grade all the way to graduating. It was so wonderful because the focus was school at school. . . and during the week I could be that nerdy bookworm of a girl, and do six hours of homework at night.
Do not think that this is all there is. More and more wonderful teachings exist.
Cinderella could not be more wonderful, as a woman. You're with her, the whole film. I had to create a guy that was worthy of her affections, and that was difficult.
That's a wonderful thing, because one of the primary qualities of a good performance is honesty.
The drugstore is a wonderful place to see all manner of ailments.
Meryl [Streep] plays the me-ish character. I love Meryl. She's totally wonderful.
It was part of a financial situation. I could only afford records in thrift stores. Then you could find wonderful things, but now everything is a collectible. I like the recycling idea --using the stuff that people don't want anymore, and make new music out of it. There was an element of looking back and listening to your parents' records and doing something with that stuff. Sort of acknowledging the past while rejecting it at the same time.
Wonderful things, horses. Never know what they will do, or won't do.
The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.
I want to show the world that there is life, surprising, wonderful, and unexpected life. . . after diagnosis
Stone-ground grits are wonderful, but because they take so long to cook, I usually go with quick cooking grits - which I also love. But I never make the instant kind - some things a Southerner just won't do!
The most dangerous and wonderful creature alive is the human.
Feminism is not here to dictate to you. It’s not prescriptive, it’s not dogmatic. All we are here to do is give you a choice. If you want to run for President, you can. If you don’t, that’s wonderful, too. I’m lucky I was raised to believe that my opinion at the dinner table was valuable. My mum and I spoke as loudly as my brothers.
Funny as hell, searingly honest, and urgently real, Sam Pink's Rontel puts to shame most modern fiction. His writing perfectly captures the bizarre parade that is Chicago, with all its gloriously odd and wonderful people. This book possesses both the nerve of Nelson Algren and the existential comedy of Albert Camus.
