“I knew that going on 'One Tree Hill' was going to be an incredible vehicle for the record. What is amazing about it is that my role on the show is, you know, basically playing a musician, and all the songs she plays are off my record.” KnowsPlayShowsSongRolesRecordsTreeMusicianIncrediblesHillsVehicleTree Hill Author:Kate Voegele
“In every human society of which we have any record, there are those who teach and those who learn, for learning a way of life is implicit in all human culture as we know it. But the separation of the teacher's role from the role of all adults who inducted the young into the habitual behavior of the group, was a comparatively late invention. Furthermore, when we do find explicit and defined teaching, in primitive societies we find it tied in with a sense of the rareness or the precariousness of some human tradition.” KnowsWayHumansYoungLife IsCultureRolesTeachRecordsTeacherGroupsTeachingBehaviorLateAdultsTraditionSeparationInventionDefinedTiedPrimitiveHabitualHuman SocietyExplicitImplicit Author:Margaret Mead
“Back in the day, when the D.J. would be playing a record, Id be on the mic trying to hype up the crowd. So once Public Enemy became a rap group, I decided that thats the role that I wanted to take on. I wanted to be the one that was hyping, because Ive always been good at it. I can hype up any crowd.” TryingI CanWould BeWantedEnemyRolesRecordsGroupsDecidedCrowdsRapHypeBack In The DayMicsPublic Enemies Author:Flavor Flav
“Acting is a difficult profession, it really is. It's different than singing. With singing you may have one song and four people to record it - but they'll all do it differently and they'll all have that option. Whereas with actors there might be one part, and five hundred actors all want the same role - it's so much more competitive. It's an incredibly painful profession because you get so much rejection.” PeopleWantMayDifferentMightSongActorsDifficultActingRolesRecordsFiveFourSingingHundredPainfulProfessionRejection Author:Olivia Newton-John
“It takes a little more time to get into the role, but not very much more. In making a record you don't have the sense of projection over a distance as in an opera house. We have this microphone and this magnifies all details of a performance, all exaggerations. In the theater, you can get away with a very large, very grand phrase. For the microphone, you have to tone it down. It's the same as making a film, your gestures will be seen in close-up, so they cannot be exaggerated as they would be in a theater.” LittlesWould BeFilmHouseRolesRecordsPerformancesTheaterDistanceDetailsPhrasesToneGet AwayMore TimeOperaGesturesProjectionExaggerationExaggeratedMicrophonesOpera House Author:Maria Callas

“I think what people love about the Steve Jobs story is not just the track record at Apple, but that comeback story, that he was thrown out of Apple, came back and built the company even greater.
