What’s interesting about Stephen Baldwin is that me and Dana Gould were originally cast for ‘Bio-Dome’ – but Pauly Shore and Baldwin ended up doing it. So there’s a little movie trivia for ya. – Harland Williams
I can’t say ‘no’ to an interesting role. I always tell my husband, ‘That’s it, I quit, I’ve done all I wanted,’ and he’s just like, ‘Yeah, yeah. Sure.’ – Helen Mirren
What makes the food that we do at Alinea so interesting on the outside is that we really don’t let ourselves say no to an idea. – Grant Achatz
To combine telling an interesting story with brilliantly written characters is the most difficult thing to do. – Greg McHugh
It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes. – Henry David Thoreau

The part that I think is one of the most interesting is of course the one that Hayden Christensen plays. – Ian McDiarmid

Although in Abbott and Costello, and straight man was first. That’s a very interesting concept. – Harvey Korman

The evolution of playground equipment has been to this ever safer, less challenging, less interesting assemblies of equipment. – Gever Tulley
