Adam Rickitt

Actor · British · b. 1978

Alex O'Loughlin

Thuy Trang

Actress · Vietnamese · 1973 – 2001

It is always encouraging and kind when people say nice things about my work but I know that it is not me that did it then and it is not me that is doing it now. It is God living in me and for that I will always be grateful.

Ken Hensley

Musician · English · b. 1945

NBC was trying to convert all of their local programming to color right away to encourage the sale of the sets, so I barely remember working in black and white, although I do know that I did do it, but there was not a major difference, though.

Jim Henson

Entertainer · American · 1936 – 1990

Leo Kottke

Musician · American · b. 1945

I mean, I'm new but I've always been very interested in film making process and I've been lucky enough to work with film makers in my past that have been very encouraging to let me hang around. I get so emotionally vested - that the producer part of me was natural.

Charlize Theron

Actress · South African · b. 1975

Gerald McRaney

Actor · American · b. 1947

I'm really happy that I got to work with such fresh talent. In a day when record companies are not particularly good at encouraging young, talented songwriters to come forward and get exposure, I think it's important to give tomorrow's songwriters the opportunity.

Robin Gibb

Musician · English · b. 1949

My first book is really about heat. That book, for me, was an exploration of heat as ingredient. Why we don't talk about heat as an ingredient, I don't quite understand, because it is the common ingredient to all cooking processes.

Alton Brown

Entertainer · American · b. 1962

Well, that's the old story I heard about the Jackie Chan films. That, like, Jackie Chan will just keep going and when crew members drop he just replaces them. I don't know if that's true but after having worked in Japan I believe it might be true.

Sarah Michelle Gellar

The environment on set is very encouraging.

Michael Shanks

Actor · Canadian · b. 1970

Lisa Leslie

Athlete · American · b. 1939

You make a mistake, you keep going.

Actress · American · b. 1942

Molly Shannon

Actress · American · b. 1964

Musician · American · 1910 – 1981

Fantasia Barrino

Musician · American · b. 1984

Many rock musicians are excellent cooks, I've found, and those that are prefer to eat their own cooking in the studio. I encourage this behavior as I also enjoy the benefits of fresh food.

Steve Albini

Musician · American · b. 1962

I wouldn't say I'm a very controlling person. For instance, when I talk to the actors, I don't tell them exactly what I want because I want them to surprise me. I even encourage them to change some of the verses of the script if they need to.

Director · Spanish · b. 1972
