"I can only hold on to the things I want to lose."

--

Jonathan Safran Foer

“I like it when somebody tells me a story, and I actually really feel that that's becoming like a lost art in American cinema.”
“What I found, over four years of research and reporting, was a conscious effort â€” taking place in labs and marketing meetings and grocery-store aisles â€” to get people hooked on foods that are convenient and inexpensive.”
“I am kind of prudish and I have very strict standards about how I present myself. But one of the things that I've always stood by is that women are beautiful and sexy. We shouldn't be afraid of that. [But] we need to make sure that we present that beauty and that sexiness in a way that says we are in control of our bodies. We're strong, we're classy, we're beautiful, powerful beings to be reckoned with, not victims.”
“I never stopped being attracted to women. Bisexuality is misunderstood; the adage is that you're either straight or gay or lying, but that's not my experience. To call me anything other than bisexual would be inaccurate.”
“I had always wanted to be on TV; my mom told me that when I was little, I told her I wanted to be a 'modeler,' because that's what I called actors on TV.”
“Victor Mature was a big man; he had a great swagger. I liked him and I knew we'd be good together on screen.”
“I'm apt to get drunk on words...Ontology: the word about the essence of things; the word about being.”
“The mere possession of monopoly power, and the concomitant charging of monopoly prices, is not only not unlawful, it is an important element of the free-market system. The opportunity to charge monopoly prices - at least for a short period - is what attracts 'business acumen' in the first place; it induces risk taking that produces innovation and economic growth.”
