It seems to me conspiracy is at the heart of dozens of TV dramas currently on. Maybe that itself is some kind of conspiracy.

While I don't like violent programs per se, I do like good storytelling, which made me a fan of shows like Breaking Bad and American Horror Story.

Never forget that I am paid for my troubles!

Jarecki's 'Reagan' is a compellingly watchable and appropriately conflicted portrait...artfully nuanced and intellectually curious.

"Big Bang Theory" focuses on main characters who in other shows would only be auxiliary players hewing to stereotype: The gawky nerd who lives next door and says oddball things.

Do one thing everyday that scares you. Those small things that make us uncomfortable help us build courage to do the work we do.

Beer does not make itself properly by itself. It takes an element of mystery and of things that no one can understand.

Actually, Sydney is my second favourite city on earth, I love Sydney, but this is the greatest.

Every man got a right to his own mistakes. Ain't no man that ain't made any.

I never said to myself, "I'm going to be the greatest." I just wanted to do my own thing.

Anyone can rehearse and play constantly any song in the world.

We abide in God insofar as we do not sin.

So great moreover is the regard of the law for private property, that it will not authorize the least violation of it; no, not even for the general good of the whole community.
