‐‐ Ming-Na Wen
Being a sci-fi geek myself and going to movies all my life, I came to the conclusion that there were really two camps of how robots have been designed. It's either the tin man, which is a human with metal skin, or it's an R2D2.

Being a sex symbol was rather like being a convict.
‐‐ Raquel Welch

‐‐ Carlton Cuse
Being a shy person, I always felt strange outside with my camera.
‐‐ Kim Weston

Being a songwriter, singer, and a great part of a unit is more important than being Joe Guitar Hero.

Being a Southerner, I'm interested in sex, violence, religion and all the things that make life interesting.
‐‐ Karin Slaughter
Being a stand-up comic, this isn't a stepping-stone for me; it's what I do, and this is what I'm always going to do. And even if I do a TV show, the only reasons to do a TV show is to get more people to know me to come out to my stand-up shows.

‐‐ John Fusco
