“You know what I did this morning? I played the voice of a toy. Some terrible robot toys from Japan that changed from one thing to another. The Japanese have funded a full-length animated cartoon about the doings of these toys, which is all bad outer-space stuff. I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever-it-is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen.” KnowsPlayStuffVoiceSpaceMorningPlansOne ThingChangedTearsPlanetsTerribleScreensDestroyedHaving FunJapanLengthToysCartoonRobotsAnimatedMenaceOuter SpaceDoings Author:Orson Welles
“A commander-in-chief cannot take as an excuse for his mistakes in warfare an order given by his sovereign or his minister when the person giving the order is absent from the field of operations and is imperfectly aware or wholly unaware of the latest state of affairs. It follows that any commander-in-chief who undertakes to carry out a plan which he considers defective is at fault; he must put forward his reasons, insist on the plan being changed, and finally tender his resignation rather than be the instrument of his army's downfall.” ReasonPlansChangedInstrumentsFaultsChiefsCommandersResignationCommander In ChiefDefective Author:Napoleon Bonaparte
“We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. Presumably the plans for our employment were being changed. I was to learn later in life that, perhaps because we are so good at organizing, we tend as a nation to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization.” HardWould BeFormNationsSituationProgressPlansWonderfulTeamChangedCreatingIllusionMethodConfusionEmploymentTeamworkLater In LifeInefficiencyNew SituationsReorganizationProgress And ChangeDemoralizationIllusion Of Time Author:Charlton Ogburn
“There used to be a huge snobbism between the film industry and the television industry. I produced and acted in my first - well way back - but the first thing that I produced and acted in was Sarah, Plan and Tall.

“I've always wanted a normal life, and this is what I got. Being an actress wasn't a plan at all, so what's happened to me is very strange. Life isn't very normal, even though I'm still very much a normal girl. I ride the subway, I ride the bus, and all of that. It's the people around me that have changed. I love when I go to a restaurant and I walk past, and everyone waves. That's always really funny. It's strange.
