My puppets are far more liberated than I am. Ventriloquism is a useful way of expressing myself.
I'm a pretty good ventriloquist, but it's the entertainment value and the laughs that keep people sitting there and wanting more.
All markets have boom and bust cycles, and I think venture capital market has even more exaggerated boom and bust cycles.
Traditional companies have to start looking into themselves to offer more opportunities in their companies by starting new subsidiaries and joint ventures.
I truly believe children learn by examples much more than what you can teach them verbally.
Sometimes, in a fictional story, you can be more honest and truthful, actually. As a journalist, you're a prisoner of the data, in effect. You have to tell the story with evidence you can verify.
The older I got, the more willing I was to go into the Southern vernacular, because some of it's funny.
I wanted to get away from the Mexican vernacular and do more 'nuevo Latino.' Americans are starting to understand regionality in Mexican food. It is very regional in terms of ingredients.
Diminutive worlds are more likely to be rocky, and lapped by oceans and atmospheres. In the vernacular of 'Star Trek,' these would be M-class planets: life-friendly oases where biology could begin and bumpy-faced Klingons might exist.
I had read the 'Wonder Woman' comic books when I was a child; I was much more interested in those than I was in 'Betty and Veronica,' even though I liked those as well.
Yeah, I didn't grow up in the '50s like Stephen King so I'm more versed in the '80s and the present day than the '50s.
I've written so many verses and keep on writing so many more that I became afraid that if I didn't write them into one big book, I might forget some of them.
One thing common with me and Shikhar Dhawan is that we play a lot of orthodox cricketing strokes. We look to play the ball along the ground and while lofting the ball, it's more with a vertical bat.
Reforms aimed at increasing an economy's flexibility are always hard - and even more so at a time of weak growth - because they require eliminating protections for vested interests in the short term for the sake of greater long-term prosperity.
Honestly, if they were Christian refugees coming in, I think the Obama administration would vet them a little more toughly.
My father had many, many veterans over to the house, and the older I got the more I appreciated their sacrifice.
Farms and ranches contend with much more than quarterly reports and profit margins - the weather can wreak havoc on their quality of life and economic viability. When natural disasters strike, we must do all we can to assist the backbone of our economy.
I like roundtables because you can talk more directly to people. And you also can get kind of a vibe on what a journalist's take is on something, and have a conversation with them more.
I've created a new sound. I've actually brought back dancing and vibes; it's more universal.
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.
