3 December 2020 Sidney Sheldon I wanted to make sure that the man who found the genie would not take terrible advantage of her, so he needed to be a person of integrity and honor – which is why I made the male lead an astronaut. The rest, as they say, is history.

3 December 2020 John Zimmerman Beauty is often worse than wine intoxicating both the holder and beholder.
3 December 2020 Sarah Hyland You know that family is going to be there for you no matter what. My dad gave me a freakin’ kidney!
3 December 2020 Jane Campion Performers are so vulnerable. They’re frightened of humiliation, sure their work will be crap. I try to make an environment where it’s warm, where it’s OK to fail – a kind of home, I suppose.
3 December 2020 Malcom X I believe in the brotherhood of all men, but I don’t believe in wasting brotherhood on anyone who doesn’t want to practice it with me. Brotherhood is a two-way street.

3 December 2020 Danica McKellar I want to help middle-school girls stay interested in math and be good at it, and see it as friendly and accessible and not this scary thing. Everyone else in society tells them it’s not for them. It’s for nerdy white guys with pocket protectors.
3 December 2020 William Hazlitt I would like to spend the whole of my life traveling, if I could anywhere borrow another life to spend at home.

3 December 2020 Adam Brody And in a world without heroes, as the movie trailer voice-over guy might say, the slightly awkward can be slightly cool.
