We have so much pride in welcoming these passengers onto the plane and they have so much pride in travel. It's something that I definitely always remember when I'm playing a scene on the plane just to imbue everything with that sense of excitement.

And as a character what I found very inspiring about playing Dharma especially at that time is that the women on television were more neurotic than they were free. And I thought this is a rare bird and this is unique on television and I think it's really refreshing.

I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time he creates a separate identity for himself.

I think the thing we see is that as people are using video games more they tend to watch passive TV a bit less. And so using the PC for the Internet playing video games is starting to cut into the rather unbelievable amount of time people spend watching TV.

Honestly I never thought I'd actually be playing a teen lesbian. I didn't think it was going to go this far. But I'm glad that it did because there have been a lot of fans who have expressed that they've been going through similar situations in their lives.

I think every student needs access to technology and I think technology can be a hugely important vehicle to help level the playing field.

Over the last few years the world has become a smaller and more integrated place with technology that is leveling the playing field like never before.

There's a lot more to see when you're playing and because of the advances in technology it makes room for all kinds of new characters.

With millions of family wage manufacturing jobs lost since 2001 we need an energy bill that takes bold action to tap into American ingenuity in order to lead the world in new clean energy technology rather than playing catch-up to the Japanese Danish and Germans.

In some cases inventions prohibit innovation because we're so caught up in playing with the technology we forget about the fact that it was supposed to be important.

Both my grandmothers had upright pianos and I just knew how to play since I was a child. Nobody taught me. I sounded like a grown-up and then I learned how to read music. I played so well by ear I could fool the teacher to believe I could play the notes. She'd make the mistake of playing the song once and I could play it.

I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.

Actors who are lovers in real life are often incapable if playing the part of lovers to an audience. It is equally true that sympathy between actors who are not lovers may create a temporary emotion that is perfectly sincere.

My overnight success was really 15 years in the making. I'd been writing songs since I was 6 and playing in bands and performing since I was 14.

Nearly all monster stories depend for their success on Jack killing the Giant Beowulf or St. George slaying the Dragon Harry Potter triumphing over the basilisk. That is their inner grammar and the whole shape of the story leads towards it.

Success in life comes not from holding a good hand but in playing a poor hand well.

The strength of the playing ability is much more important. Only if the strength of the opponent's playing ability is comparable does the game develop.
