Acting's an odd profession for a young person; it's so extreme. You work, and the conditions are tough and the process is so immersive, and then it stops, and then there's nothing. So you have to find ways of making you feel productive when you're no...
I think 'Overlord' has definitely benefited because I work with every single level designer, and working where we have space to tell the story. That's what it's all about - getting writers and storytellers involved in the team and being a back and fo...
Intellectual work is essentially a lonely process, and if you can find a way of doing something so that you're in company without being disturbed, that, for me, is the critical thing. I often get to feel isolated so often if I'm sitting either where ...
But more than anything I kind of pride myself in continuing the process that we're trying to accomplish, and that's just to get better and work on my fundamentals. So that's been kind of in the theme now for a couple years and we stuck with it and th...
Before the Civil War, there were no national cemeteries, no processes for identifying the dead in the battle. There weren't any dog tags, and there was no next-of-kin notification. You didn't necessarily even hear what the fate of your loved ones had...
The earth is bountiful, and where her bounty fails, nitrogen drawn from the air will refertilize her womb. I developed a process for this purpose in 1900. It was perfected fourteen years later under the stress of war by German chemists.

Most poetry in the modern age has retreated to the private sphere, turning its back on the political realm.
The American Right has an amazing ability to lionize leaders whose lives are the precise antithesis of the political values that define their image.
There's a difference between an outburst of spontaneous anger, which doesn't have a political objective, and a more measured response that we saw in the Occupy Wall Street movement.
In the 19th century, you had bourgeois art without politics - an almost frozen idea of what beauty is.
Art requires neither complaisance nor politeness; nothing but faith, faith and freedom.
The art of politics consists in knowing precisely when it is necessary to hit an opponent slightly below the belt.
Politics with me isn't theater. It's performance art. Sometimes, for its own sake.
It's not polite to ask if a man has a big salami in his pants, okay?
A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life.
I don't think that politics attracts the best and the brightest of America. It doesn't attract the most sincere people.
Politics is not perfect but it's the best available nonviolent means of changing how we live.
We agreed that we cannot let personal political attacks get in the way of doing the very best we can for California's children.
