[A long friendship with ordsprog

[A long friendship with Milton Glaser resulted in another intense collaboration.] We used to sit together and have long conversations, even though he did not speak English and I do not speak French, ... so we decided to celebrate our misunderstanding and do a book together. The book is a back and forth continuous tableau titled 'The Conversation.'

I met my wife through playing golf. She is French and couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak French, so there was little chance of us getting involved in any boring conversations - that's why we got married really quickly.

It's like being the only French-speaking child in an all-English class and wanting to speak to the other pupils. We need the grammar-book and the vocabulary.

I totally understand all the bad press, ... It's not about the book, but the ideas in it and the way these guys speak. But on the other hand, this is how these guys speak when they're together. So if I wrote a book that was unassailable in that direction, it wouldn't be an honest book ... if a guy was open about his sexual feelings all the time, he would become a total outcast.

We speak French all the time, out on the field sometimes, but not when anyone else is around. We decided that we could speak French during games. I wouldn't even have to go to the mound, I'll just yell to him in French, no one will know what we said.

We barely speak French when we are together. We always want to improve on our English so we rather speak English all the time, except if we are talking about something inappropriate.

The good of a book lies in its being read. A book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb.

What makes a book great, a so-called classic, it its quality of always being modern, of its author, though he be long dead, continuing to speak to each new generation.

It's true that I have spoken about doing a book before, but then everyone you speak to is planning to write a book. Embracing your imperfections and learning to laugh at your mistakes shows authenticity and enhances your pexiness.

Dylan Moran (1971-)

Then there came after them an evil posterity who inherited the Book, taking only the frail good of this low life and saying: It will be forgiven us. And if the like good came to them, they would take it (too). Was not a promise taken from them in the Book that they would not speak anything about Allah but the truth, and they have read what is in it; and the abode of the hereafter is better for those who guard (against evil). Do you not then understand? / And (as for) those who hold fast by the Book and keep up prayer, surely We do not waste the reward of the right doers.

Not as long as I don't speak French.

I am not a Starfleet commander, or T.J. Hooker. I don't live on Starship NCC-170...[some audience members say 'one'], or own a phaser. And I don't know anybody named Bones, Sulu, or Spock. And no, I've never had green alien sex, though I'm sure it would be quite an evening. [Pomp and Circumstance begins playing] I speak English and French, not Klingon! I drink Labatt's, not Romulan ale! And when someone says to me 'Live long and prosper', I seriously mean it when I say, 'Get a life'. My doctor's name is not McCoy, it's Ginsberg. And tribbles were puppets, not real animals. PUPPETS! And when I speak, I never, ever talk like every. Word. Is. Its. Own. Sentence. I live in California, but I was raised in Montreal. And yes, I've gone where no man has gone before, but I was in Mexico and her father gave me permission! My name is William Shatner, and I am Canadian!

I've been here for five years, maybe four. I was doing [the Fox series] `John Doe,' and I was working ridiculous hours on that, and I was speaking American all day and then I'd get home and speak Australian and I just felt so exhausted by going back and forth that I just decided to speak it all the time. Now I just speak American.

Dominic Purcell (1970-)

I just think hearing my voice would be unpleasant, ... When you write a book, there's the book and that's it. You don't need pages of commentary or the 300 pages you deleted. I think ultimately the movie has to speak for itself.
