I sold my first script when I was 21 - this kids' adventure movie that never got made. I just bought that one back, actually. I'm pretty psyched about it.
Sermons remain one of the last forms of public discourse where it is culturally forbidden to talk back.
I'm a small-town kid who grew up with a cornfield in the back yard and dreaming of serving my country in public office.
I was one of the first 18-year-olds in the United States elected to public office right after 18-year-olds got the right to vote back in the early '70s. I ran for the Board of Education.
Being a lawyer is not merely a vocation. It is a public trust, and each of us has an obligation to give back to our communities.
I was an embarrassment to the department when they did research assessment exercises. A message would go round the department: 'Please give a list of your recent publications.' And I would send back a statement: 'None.'

Halloween simply has a special feel about it. School is back, everyone is settled into their routines following summer, and there is pumpkin spice everywhere.
I don't mind getting punched in the nose by a guy standing in front of me. It's getting stabbed in the back that I can't handle.

Despite tantalizing suggestions of fossilized microbes in meteorites, puzzling and possibly biogenic methane gas in the martian atmosphere, and a long-standing controversy over the Viking lander experiments of nearly 40 years ago, there's still no Exhibit A that points unequivocally to biology in our own back yard.
I looked about me once again, and suddenly the dancing horses without number changed into animals of every kind and into all the fowls that are, and these fled back to the four quarters of the world from whence the horses came, and vanished.
After I retired, it was quite a long time before I went back to my department. I thought I was well out of it.
The technology for radiant stories in 'Skyrim' is phenomenal. We tried and pared it back.
The Raiders moved from Oakland to Los Angeles, didn't like it, didn't get along. Whatever it was, moved back to Oakland.
I shed many a tear when the steam engines went out of style on the railroads. I'd like to seem them come back, but I realize the diesels are more efficient.
Like a majority of the population and a majority of even Tory voters, I want the railways back in public ownership.
