Becoming a YA author was actually a very lucky accident. When I wrote the 'Queen of Everything,' I thought it was a book for adults.
I usually listen to various kind of singers. Curtis Mayfield was my favorite. James Brown, Tina Turner, queen of soul, I started to get that musical essence from that time before I even do my first song.
Evelyn Couch: Towanda! Righter of Wrongs, Queen Beyond Compare! Ninny Threadgoode: How many of them hormones you takin', honey?
[after seeing Ron's queen destroy Harry's knight] Hermione: That's totally barbaric! Ron: That's wizard's chess.
Myrtle Logue: Will their Majesties be staying to dinner? Queen Elizabeth: We'd love to - such a treat - but, ah... alas, a... previous engagement. What a pity.
Account Guy: Stempel is an underdog. You know, people root for that. It's a New York thing. Martin Rittenhome: Queens is not New York!
Jeff: She's like a queen bee with her pick of the drones. Lisa: I'd say she's doing a woman's hardest job: juggling wolves.
Borg Queen: I am the beginning. The end. The one who is many. I am the Borg.
Little Bill Daggett: You been talking about that Queen of yours, again, Bob? [punches him] Little Bill Daggett: On Independence Day?
'La Lupe' is my passion project. I've done it as a one-woman show, but I'm raising money to turn it into a film. It's a story of a Cuban singer who became the Queen of Latin Soul, the first woman on the N.Y. salsa scene.
Science is very vibrant. There are always new observations to be found. And it's all in the interest in challenging the authority that came before you. That's consistent with the punk rock ethos that suggests that you should not take what people say ...
Almost everyone shuts down when science becomes too technical; you've got to infuse it with entertainment and storytelling to make it effective. From high school on, science is taught in a very dry manner, which isn't as potent.
Yes, I am transgendered but I also am a cross-dresser - I dress as a woman. It's not that I just want to be seen as a female in our society, I'm also a drag queen and a performer - there are many levels there.
My wife and I make the bed every morning, but it's a queen size bed today, as opposed to a rack, you know, a small single bed, which I had in basic SEAL training.
Margo Channing: Don't get up. And please stop acting as if I were the queen mother. Eve Harrington: I'm sorry, I...
Captain of Louisa: By the authority vested in me by Kaiser William II, I pronounce you man and wife - Proceed with the execution.
Charlie Allnut: Well I ain't sorry for you no more, ya crazy, psalm-singing, skinny old maid!
Rose Sayer: [after travelling through the rapids] Now that I've had a taste of it I don't wonder why you love boating.
Queen of Hearts: And who is this? King of Hearts: Let me see, my dear. It's certainly not a heart. Do you suppose it's a club?
John Bender: Hey, homeboy, what do you say we close that door, we'll get the prom queen impregnated.
Being the Queen is not all about singing, and being a diva is not all about singing. It has much to do with your service to people. And your social contributions to your community and your civic contributions as well.
