Andy Serkis

Brent Thill
My major preoccupation is the question, 'What is reality?' Many of my stories and novels deal with psychotic states or drug-induced states by which I can present the concept of a multiverse rather than a universe. Music and sociology are themes in my novels, also radical political trends; in particular I've written about fascism and my fear of it.

Geoff Brown
I have no doubt that Oprah will remain committed to bringing life-expanding novels -- their themes and their authors -- to the attention of the huge audience that she inspires. It seems the frequency and format of her book recommendations will now change but not Oprah's underlying mission of getting people to read to enrich themselves and to better understand others.
Anne Messitte

Julie Fiorenza
(Pataki does) not view it as a way of discussing the issues of the state. It's about his image. He pounds away on themes: He's tough on crime. He's tough on taxes. He's tough on regulations. I would expect they stick to the formula.

Tom Hunter
I think there's a lesson there for all story-tellers. It's the same human themes and values from Day One. They're still exactly the same. You just play with them in different settings, change them around to entertain the audience today.
Stephen Coonts
[H]e would be an attractive choice in the sense that he would sort of reinforce the themes of a Gore ticket, which would be experience and someone who's middle-of-the-road.

Drew Cupps
We just knew broad themes.
Allison Barber

Jaye Robinson
The themes have to do with immigration, our past, and are we guilty when we're 6 years old, ... For me, the big subject is not what my husband in the film (Daniel Auteuil) has done as a child, but in not recognizing his fault, he's damaged someone's life. The theme is universal; it doesn't just belong to the French-Algerian past, but triggers something we all can share.

Ida Scott Taylor
One of the themes is how is it we cope with trials and tribulations? How do we endure struggles and come out differently? ... The book has been criticized for being messy, and it is messy in many ways, with loose ends and stories that don't tie up neatly. But why do we need to impose expectations?
Rose Quiello
He describes himself as a mild depressive, and he goes through just terrible suffering, much of it self-generated.

Francis Ford Coppola

Michael Ryan

Michael Rosenfeld

Sharman Stein

Heidi Dallin
As people begin to leave after the theme's announcement, our volunteers will be handing out scavenger hunt forms.
Jarret Izzo
As I looked at [the art], I saw how her life developed. One of the themes [of the exhibit] is her art is a commentary on her life.
Tillman Neuner

Mark Pendergrast
I've been singing since I was 5 years old. Not in-the-church-thing kind of way. I always made up music. Since I was a little girl. Improvisation was with me from the beginning. It drove my parents crazy. I would sing all the time. To anything. Television show themes. I loved to imitate the sounds.
Cassandra Wilson
The underlying themes are interest rates and commodity pricing. Home buying has slowed down, thus the consumer furnishings area has started to hurt, and in some cases consumers aren't buying any clothes anymore.
Joe Cooper
If you write fiction you are, in a sense, corrupted. There's a tremendous corruptibility for the fiction writer because you're dealing mainly with sex and violence. These remain the basic themes, they're the basic themes of Shakespeare whether you like it or not.
Anthony Burgess
Other people have done jazz with Jewish themes, and other people have done Jewish scales and modes using materials that characterize the sound of Jewish music. I don't think many people have used the liturgy with a jazz band.

Victor Soto
