“I am not one of those translators who think that working closely with the writer will yield the best translation.” Quote by Adam Morris
“I try to be fair, and I try not to be cruel or mean when I'm interviewing someone. But you have to push a few buttons. When you're on a roll and you're making a person laugh, you can say things that are truthful about them, and then they'll laugh at them as well. Otherwise, it might just sound like you're attacking them.” TryingMeanLaughingLike YouTruthful Author:Mark Critch
“If you can say something to people that's maybe a little bit insulting, but they're kind of giggling as they are hearing it, if you say something to their face without them getting mad at you, I think that's the right balance. You don't want to make it uncomfortable, especially for the viewer or the people around either. Sometimes that happens. You're watching and you're like, 'Uh, this is awkward. I don't want to look!' But, if everybody's enjoying it, I think that works.” PeopleThinkingKindSometimesEnjoyBalanceMadUncomfortableAwkwardInsulting Author:Mark Critch
“Comedy, sometimes if you think about it too much then it becomes a bit boring. If you start thinking about striking the right balance sometimes it takes the spontaneity out of it.” ThinkingSometimesComedyBalanceBoringSpontaneity Author:Mark Critch
“Comedy is best when it's a reaction to something. When you're talking about a topic, and when your friend says something funny naturally, that kind of points something out and puts it on its side, or whatever, then everybody laughs. Because it's unsuspected.” KindLaughingComedy Author:Mark Critch
“As long as we're honest and not mean, it's all fair game no matter what you say.” MeanLongHonestFair Game Author:Mark Critch
“A lot of time with comedy stuff, half of the stuff on my feed is: 'Haha, good for you!' 'Hey, thanks for making my day!' And the other half is: 'Defund the CBC!' 'All Newfoundlanders are hoagie-hogs!' It's just left and right and there's never anything in between.” ComedyThanks Author:Mark Critch
“Understanding different planets in their environments is still really important. So if these planets are dead lifeless worlds, it will still be useful for us.” WorldImportantDifferentUnderstandingEnvironment Author:Sara Seager
“Sometimes, I think people just want a distraction. It's something you can get excited about that doesn't have to do with politics. It makes you think there's something larger than ourselves - and that can be very powerful.” PeopleThinkingSometimesPowerfulExcitedDistractionVery PowerfulMake You Think Author:Sara Seager
“I don't think discovery of a new planet has a huge meaning for children now, but what it means is the world they're growing up in is very different from children of previous generations. We had Star Trek, Star Wars and Futurama - and we still do - but for children today, they will grow up in a world where other stars were known.” ThinkingWorldMeanChildrenDifferentWarTodayGrowing Up Author:Sara Seager
“I found Viola Desmond was the first woman whose case was taken up in the courts, and it wasn't that she tried to sue them for throwing her out of the theatre; it was that they took the law and used it to arrest her. That was really shocking to me. We had no laws in Canada actually requiring segregation, like they did in the United States. But here we had people using the law - the amusements tax act - to enforce segregation, and our courts allowed them to do that.” PeopleTakenTaxesTheatreSegregationViola Author:Constance Backhouse
