Takashi Miike Even if I were to try to imitate Kurosawa I know that it’s absolutely impossible. That era of film was just something else, including the actors. Everything about that era was on a completely different level. – Takashi Miike
Tahar Ben Jelloun We must have our say, not through violence, aggression or fear. We must speak out calmly and forcefully. We shall only be able to enter the new world era if we agree to engage in dialogue with the other side. – Tahar Ben Jelloun
T J Miller Some people in Silicon Valley are as bad as the ‘Koch Brothers’, you know? Don’t be mistaken. For every some of those, though, you get people who come up with something like ‘Leafly’, which does what ‘Yelp’ has done, but in a much more specific way, and it’s important because it’s the dawn of this new era. – T J Miller

Story Musgrave The statistics of life out there and the statistics of intelligent beings and advanced civilization is a certainty, the way I look at it. that It has not been accepted, because we’ve been in an anthropocentric era. – Story Musgrave
Stone Cold Steve Austin A lot of people say, ‘What set the Attitude Era up?’ or, ‘What started the Attitude Era?’ To me – and I was allegedly the leader of it – sports entertainment, pro wrestling, whatever you want to call it has always had an attitude. So, why that particular generation got labeled, I don’t know. – Stone Cold Steve Austin
