I really believe you can predict when someone has a great attitude, a real well of talent.

The SAS is the most elite of the special forces in the world. They are not people who go out and advertise; they keep it inside. They don't want anybody to know about them.

The director's job should give you a sense of music without drawing attention to itself.

This devil loves mankind because men are going to always make the choice that will send him into ascendancy. He's been winning the game for a long time.

I don't see how a young American can vote for, well, can vote for a Democrat.
