Much of the rest of the world has already learned some English. They pretty much understand the American way of doing things, because our culture has been ubiquitous and has been the 500-pound gorilla in the global economy. But the world is far more interrelated than ever before, and no one culture can thrive without the knowledge of how to function in other cultures.

Because I have always felt privileged. I have been able to do what I love, I have always been treated well, I have always been paid well so that's why. I feel that I owe something; that I need to return something. It's always been a great pleasure but nevertheless I do feel this responsibility.

Superman is pretty much the way he was - you know - what he's always been. A lot of the Marvel characters are products of their time. I think Batman, as a character, has been able to adapt; he's pretty malleable.

Brian Azzarello

Kurt Cobain

I've never been a shy person. I've always been able to talk pretty well.

Zach LaVine

The pulpit style of Germany has been always rustically negligent, or bristling with pedantry.

Thomas de Quincey

There's always been this strand of filmmaking in Britain which is like socialist neo-realism. That's always been there. I've never been part of that, really; I've been much closer to fantasy.
