I just remember I wanted to make my own dynasty and not keep following trends. I wanted to make my own.

Big Sean

In a manner of speaking. As we intend for you to found a dynasty. And that dynasty will rule society until it has progressed enough to-" "Overthrow the dynasty in a revolutionary, blood filled coup!" Iggy said eagerly. We all looked at him. "Just saying." He sheepishly took a bite of cookie.

James Patterson

Being a black filmmaker, one of the things I wanted to do with the movie is make sure I told it from a different perspective. I wanted to take myself out of it as a black male. I wanted to look at this movie through the eyes of Tully, to understand what he was thinking, and feel what he was feeling as much as I could.

Deon Taylor

I wanted to make sure the focus [in The Land] was on human beings themselves and their decisions, but still connected to the urban environment that people associate as being black. I think I was able to make a film without commenting on "black this or black that" and you still feel the presence of it. There's no one character who's saying "we're all black and we're all in this struggle." It's that you just feel it. Some of that is because we get the sense from a lot of independent films that black people struggle all the time.

Steven Caple Jr.

After Dynasty, I wanted a reality check. I wanted to get in touch with real life, you know? That kind of world is outrageous.

Linda Evans

I just wanted to have my own dynasty. I wanted my own Cash Money or Roc-A-Fella. Outside of that, I also wanted my own media company.

Kevin Abstract

Wonderful to see with the whole family. It's like travelling from dynasty to dynasty, from one Chinese region to another.

Bernard Drainville

The only dynasty I like is the Duck Dynasty.

Mark Levin

The geologist, in those tables of stone which form his records, finds no examples of dynasties once passed away again returning. There has no repetition of the dynasty of the fish, of the reptile, of the mammal. The dynasty of the future is to have glorified man for its inhabitant; but it is to be the dynasty-"the kingdom"-not of glorified man made in the image of God, but of God himself in the form man.

Hugh Miller

The Colbys aren't a dynasty yet, but since the show is not called 'Dynasties,' just 'Dynasty,' we thought that was really interesting that it's about how this other family is going to become competition for the Carringtons.

Sallie Patrick

I wanted to make a movie about a black family in Middle America. I wanted to make a film where everyone can look at them and say, 'This is my family.'

George Tillman, Jr.

People call my family a dynasty, but I'm not sure what a dynasty actually is. And I don't feel part of one. It belies the truth of my real upbringing, which wasn't grand at all, and it flies in the face of the fact that, at root, I'm just a jobbing actor.

Joseph Fiennes

I wanted to make a black story about South Africa. Unfortunately, no producer in the United States would put one penny into a black story.

Euzhan Palcy

I wanted to be a leading man - the black lawyer, the black doctor, the black policeman.

David Alan Grier

Michael Jordan was a cultural icon that everybody on the playground wanted to be. The Bulls dynasty was a huge part of my childhood and it was the peak of my basketball interest as a kid.

Macklemore

More than 700 years ago, the Song Dynasty artist Zheng Sixiao created perhaps the most beautiful image of orchids ever painted, 'Ink Orchid.' And still famous today is a thousand-year-old poem from the Tang Dynasty called 'Orchid and Orange.'
