Gossip is conversation about people.
No one gossips about other people's secret virtues.
I've had just about everything punched. I've had things grabbed that just shouldn't be grapped.
Glamour to me is about remaining graceful and understated.
I am not about airs and graces, fancy cars or jewellery. I am just about my family and my kids.
When I get asked about novelists I like, they tend to be white, male, and British, like Graham Greene. They write the kind of declarative sentences I like. I don't like to be deflected by acrobatics.
Writing about Africa by Africans has been part of my literary apprenticeship, standing alongside works by authors such as Joseph Conrad, Joyce Cary and Graham Greene as influences.
Everybody appears to look down on Bieber. No person able to write a grammatical sentence about Justin Bieber actually thinks him worthy of the sentence.
Bill Clinton was impeached primarily for criminal conduct: lying under oath and misleading a federal grand jury about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Nixon would have been impeached for a wide array of criminal acts, as well as abuses of power.

The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people.
I saw podcast sites with all these fancy graphics. People don't care about that. They sign up for what I do.
I have never quite grasped the worry about the power of the press. After all, it speaks with a thousand voices, in constant dissonance.
Normally, the action is just a gratuitous thing. In the case of Bourne, he was going to learn about himself in the action scenes.
There's nothing gratuitous about my films.
Turkey is fine, but if I don't have the sides, forget about it. And cornbread stuffing is at the center of my plate. I will have about six sides and then a little bit of turkey and gravy.
The great advantage about telling the truth is that nobody ever believes it.
