“I am involved with 'Write Girl,' which is such a great organization, because they go into inner city schools and work with underprivileged girls to pair them up with other writers. And it gets them learning to express themselves and become familiar with their own voice. They have a 100% success ratio getting those girls into college.” WritingSchoolGirlVoiceCitiesCollegeInvolvedOrganizationFamiliarPairsRatiosInner CityUnderprivilegedGreat OrganizationsInner City Schools Author:Melissa Rosenberg
“Jerry Falwell knows who caused the terrorist attack on America: the ACLU. "The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this," he declared on the 700 Club, because, he explained, the ACLU, abetted by the federal courts is responsible for "throwing God out of the public square (and) the public schools." This is a familiar charge and a false one. God is still present in the public schools, where students are free to pray, alone or in groups, so long as their prayers aren't officially sponsored and don't infringe on anyone's freedom not to pray.” KnowsLongStillsSchoolAmericaPrayerGroupsStudentsPrayingResponsibleBlameCourtClubsTerroristFamiliarThrowingSquaresPublic SchoolJerryTerrorist Attacks Author:Wendy Kaminer

Anything that I have to attack with my thumbs, for any period of time, makes me feel stupid. So, I try to avoid it, as much as possible, to protect my thumbs.” FeelsTryingEnoughAbleSchoolBrainTechnologyStupidFiguresPeriodsProtectFamiliarDumbThumbsOld School Author:Johnny Depp
“I grew up on movie sets, so it was something I just found familiar. When I was growing up also, in high school, I would audition for things and my parents let me audition for things - with the thought that I wouldn't get them. And then I would get them... sometimes, and it would surprise them.” SometimesSchoolFoundParentGrowing UpGrowingGrewGrew UpHigh SchoolLet MeSurpriseFamiliarAuditionsMovie Sets Author:Jake Gyllenhaal
