“In those years, when I came to the States, people were always asking me why I didn't sing anymore. I'd tell them, 'I sing all around the world-Asia, Africa, Europe-but if you don't sing in the US, then you haven't really made it.' That's why I'll always be grateful to Paul Simon. He allowed me to bring my music back to my friends in this country.” PeopleIfsWorldYearsMadeCountryStatesHavensMy FriendsEuropeAskingGratefulMade ItAround The WorldBe GratefulAsia Author:Miriam Makeba
“Chefs have only been able to work in restaurants, high-end cuisine. Why? Why haven't they been able to find other scenarios? For those chefs who want to do avant-garde cuisine, should they be finding their income in a restaurant? These are the kind of questions we are asking ourselves. So the new scenario will allow them to do whatever they want to do, whenever they want to do it.” WantShouldKindEndsAbleHavensFindingsAskingIncomeRestaurantsChefScenariosCuisineAvant Garde Author:Ferran Adria
“Most of Emily's backstory is written out between New Moon and Eclipse. I'm reading them as we're shooting the films. I haven't read Breaking Dawn yet. It's just too crazy. There's too much going on that you need a map. I just try to focus on one movie at a time. When we were doing New Moon press, people were already asking about Eclipse. I didn't read it until I was ready to go, so that it was fresh and I wasn't jumbled with all this other stuff.” PeopleNeedsTryingFilmReadingStuffToo MuchFocusWrittenCrazyHavensReadyMoonAskingPressesShootingDawnMapsEclipseEmilyNew MoonBreaking DawnEmily's Author:Tinsel Korey
“You [can] become part of someone else's narrative. Every once in a while I would get people asking me questions like, "If your husband is a Muslim, then why haven't you converted to Islam?" Interestingly enough, almost every person who asked me that was a Sunni, and it was their not-so-subtle way of implying that my Shiite husband was a bad Muslim for letting his infidel wife run around unconverted.” PeopleIfsWayPersonsEnoughRunningWifeHavensHusbandAskingIslamNarrativeSubtleYour HusbandInfidelImplying Author:Annia Ciezadlo
“I haven't seen any poet in this country behave nearly as rudely as Newt Gingrich or Bill O'Reilly. I'm not asking these people to approve of everyone's manners. I don't feel obliged to defend the manners of every poet who submits a poem to my web site. That's not my job. My job is to provide them with an opportunity to speak from the heart. If there's not much in the heart and if the mouth is running wild, that's not my problem.” PeopleIfsFeelsHeartCountryProblemRunningJobsOpportunitySpeakHavensPoetMouthsAskingBillsMannersBehaveSubmitSiteObligedNewtsBill O ReillyRunning WildSpeak From The Heart Author:Sam Hamill
