“I don't like the definition 'war correspondent'. It is history, not journalism, that has condemned the Middle East to war. I think 'war correspondent' smells a bit, reeks of false romanticism: it has too much of the whiff of Victorian reporters who would view battles from hilltops in the company of ladies, immune to suffering, only occasionally glancing towards the distant pop-pop of cannon fire.” ThinkingWarSufferingBitsViewsCompanyFireToo MuchMiddleBattleDefinitionsPopsSmellEastJournalismMiddle EastReportersImmuneRomanticismVictorianCannons Author:Robert Fisk
“I was shocked when they told me congratulations, you won, that's the good news. Then the bad news is that you have six battles next week. That was a bit of a shocker. I was exhausted. And I had Chopped shooting that same week. I didn't have a sous chef lined up; I thought that was bad karma to try to think ahead. So I scrambled. I scrambled the jets, took off and we bombed our target. I think it's gone well.” ThinkingTryingWellsNextBitsGoneWeekBattleSixNewsKarmaShootingTargetChefExhaustedShockedGood NewsCongratulationsJetBad NewsNext WeekBad Karma Author:Geoffrey Zakarian
“The casting is the most important thing. If you cast a picture really well a lot of things take care of themselves. You get actors that like to give a lot to the role and who appreciate the role on the same level that you do. If you miscast it, you're working an uphill battle a little bit and maybe you can come out okay but you can't always come out great.” IfsGivingWellsLittlesImportantCareActorsBitsLevelsRolesBattleLittle BitAppreciateOkayImportant ThingsCastsTake CareCastingUphill Battles Author:Clint Eastwood

“I wouldn't want to promote teenage girls having sex. But the reality is, it's happening, and they're just a little too young to understand how careful they need to be. That's a big battle with me, because I'm 23, and a lot of my fans are eight years younger than I am, so there's a bit of a tug-of-war there. I want to set the right example and, at the same time, live my life.” WantNeedsYearsLittlesWarBigsRealityYoungGirlSexBitsFansExampleBattleHappeningsCarefulEightTeenageLiving My LifeHaving SexTeenage GirlTug Of War Author:Rihanna
