The people I’ve known who’ve done great things of that type – you know, building hospitals, running schools – are very humble people. They give their lives to the project. – Paul Theroux
I don’t think having a My Chemical Romance action figure will make a kid start his own band, I like to think it will make him save children from a burning building. – Gerard Way
Filmmaking is always sort of building a mosaic of this arc of what the character is going through. – Matthew Fox
A screenplay is not a finished product; a novel is. A screenplay is a blueprint for something – for a building that will most likely never be built. – Nicholas Meyer
To make a full-blooded puff pastry, you need time, you need patience, and you need precision. It’s all about the lamination: it’s all about building up the layers of butter, dough, butter, dough; as the butter melts, it creates steam, and that brings up the layers of the two doughs apart from each other, and that’s what gives it the rise. – Paul Hollywood
Luckily, I went to school at CalArts, and then ended up here at Disney, starting in the Animation Building and working my way up. I started as an animator, and then did character designing and storyboarding, and eventually, directing. – Chris Buck
Right now, I think robots are where it’s at. And yes, I’m biased. Robots and space, because with home rocket kits and Lego Mindstorm sets, people can get involved. I was raised on Transformers and GoBots, so I can’t imagine what kids who are building real robots are dreaming about. – Daniel H. Wilson
It was just such a demeaning thing to do, being in silent movies. They’d call you up and tell you, ‘Hey, jump off this building!’ and they’d give you a hundred bucks, and you’d do it. – Parker Posey
I see what other people do and what songwriters don’t. They don’t get out and take care of themselves. Producers turn themselves into a massive brand. Songwriters tend to be under someone else’s umbrella. If you’re building your own legacy, it can’t be under an umbrella. – Ester Dean
Before the scene, before the paragraph, even before the sentence, comes the word. Individual words and phrases are the building blocks of fiction, the genes that generate everything else.

The tallest building in the world is now in Dubai, the biggest factory in the world is in China, the largest oil refinery is in India, the largest investment fund in the world is in Abu Dhabi, the largest Ferris wheel in the world is in Singapore. – Fareed Zakaria
I know there’s a lot of discussion about building a 2000-mile wall. I think we need to complete the Secure Fencing Act, but we need greater technology and aviation aspects down on the Southwest border so we can see the threat from the sky. Until you can see it, you don’t know where it’s coming from and how to correctly stop it. – Mike McCaul
The nice thing about building up your own studio is if Hollywood decides to hate faith-based films, it doesn’t matter to us. We have an audience and continue to serve that audience. – David A. R. White
All Oprah needs is a good book. My only request when she’s building any house is, ‘Could I please have a TV in my bedroom?’ – Gayle King
I’ve been eating tons of organic foods, staying away from processed sugars, white flours, and anything artificial. It’s the same as my normal regime, but I’m being even stricter, because everything I put into my body is literally building this precious baby inside me. – Danica McKellar

Britain has traditionally had a strong science and engineering base. – Martin Rees
You’ve got the North Koreans building weapons; you got the Iranians building weapons. You’ve got – the Pakistanis already have at least 100 nuclear weapons. Do you think there’s any serious effort in this country to come to grips with that? – Newt Gingrich
Nathaniel Rich wrote ‘Odds Against Tomorrow’ well before Hurricane Sandy and its surge crashed onto the isle of Manhattan, well before the streets were flooded and the subways drowned, only the Goldman Sachs building sparkling above the darkened avenues. – Cathleen Schine
The Connecticut Center for Science and Exploration will be a building that will connect the excitement of science to the surrounding streets, river and highway. These forms are ambitious and dynamic. They appear to reach out beyond their physical limits. – Cesar Pelli
