58192. The right wing has had a radio apparatus for years and years, so they’ve had minor leagues – they’ve had local rightwing guys who’ve become national rightwing guys, and who build slowly, and that’s how it goes. We haven’t had that. It isn’t like we have a farm team. – Al Franken
58193. The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But I’ve had to learn a little bit about it. It’s not rocket science: You get ratings, that’s good. – Al Franken
58194. The biases the media has are much bigger than conservative or liberal. They’re about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover. – Al Franken
58195. We need to be pro-science; we have to go back to science. – Al Franken
58196. Well, I think that there’s a value to comedy in and of itself. – Al Franken
58197. When the president during the campaign said he was against nation building, I didn’t realize he meant our nation. – Al Franken
58198. But in the right-wing media, they do have a right-wing bias. And they also have an agenda. So their agenda is: we’re an adjunct of the Republican Party, and we’re going push that agenda every day, and, as you say, brand these stories that help further the right-wing cause. – Al Franken
58199. Yeah, we shot ourselves in the foot right out of the gate. The guy who ran it at first misled pretty much everybody about how much capital we had. He said we had enough to go three years without making money, and we had enough to go three weeks. – Al Franken
58200. Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly. – Rose Franken
58201. The first thing is that we’re being attacked by both the Writers Guild and the Producers Guild. Both of these groups are trying to diminish the importance and strength of the director. They’re trying to do it through both frontal and side attacks. – John Frankenheimer
58202. If you don’t cast well, you can be in real trouble. – John Frankenheimer
58203. It’s very eclectic, the way one chooses subjects in the movie business, especially in the commercial movie business. You need to develop material yourself or material is presented to you as an assignment to direct. – John Frankenheimer
58204. One of the first lessons you learn as an actor is to listen. – John Frankenheimer
58205. One of the other things I think that I’ve been able to do in my life, is to listen well. – John Frankenheimer
58206. So I’ve had really great assistant directors for my last seven movies. – John Frankenheimer
58207. The accolades usually come when you’re dead or too old to get a job. – John Frankenheimer
58208. You have to really work with someone who you think is going to be a collaborator, who you think understands what you want to do with this movie and how you want to do it. – John Frankenheimer
58209. The first thing I can really tell you is I really love the work. – John Frankenheimer
58210. I think that you can’t make a movie without a script. But you also can’t make movies without actors. You also can’t make movies without technicians. And there has to be just one person in charge of everybody, and to me that one person is the director. – John Frankenheimer
58211. The importance of the assistant director cannot be overemphasized. – John Frankenheimer
58212. Then I usually leave the choice of the second assistant director and any other assistant directors to the first assistant director, who will choose because he or she is responsible for the conduct and the efficiency of the second assistant directors. – John Frankenheimer
58213. There are so many effects and so many things that are done digitally now that it’s so hard for the director to really control the process, because there are more and more experts that come in. – John Frankenheimer
58214. There are two things I will never do in my life. I will never climb Mount Everest, and I will never work with Val Kilmer again. There isn’t enough money in the world. – John Frankenheimer
58215. To do that I try and keep myself in pretty good shape physically and I try to lead my life in such a way that I’ll be able to be as strong at the end of the movie as I am in the beginning. – John Frankenheimer
58216. The first assistant director is just so important that the choice of that person is critical to the movie. – John Frankenheimer
58217. I feel that my job is to create an atmosphere where creative people can do their best work. – John Frankenheimer
58218. A disk unbeknownst to the director can go to the producer in another city or in another office and that producer can edit behind the director’s back much easier than in the old days. Since these dailies are now put on videotape, more kinds of people have access to dailies. – John Frankenheimer
58219. And I kind of feel that I have a responsibility to the people that invest their time and money with me to show up on the set every day and do the best of which I am capable. – John Frankenheimer
58220. And in Hollywood, you know, everyone is an expert. Most of them are expert editors. They can’t direct, they can’t write, they can’t act, but, by God, they all think they can edit. – John Frankenheimer
58221. But I really am very active in the choice of the line producer with the producer of record and the distributing company, because I’ve had some terrible, terrible experiences with some line producers, particularly in cable. – John Frankenheimer
58222. Casting is 65 percent of directing. – John Frankenheimer
58223. If you cast the picture correctly, you have a whole lot of leeway. You can make mistakes in other aspects but pull it off with the right actors. – John Frankenheimer
58224. Historically the director has been the key creative element in a film and we must maintain that. We must protect that, in spite of the fact that there is new technology that’s continually trying to erode that. – John Frankenheimer
58225. I’ve found that the more experts you have on a movie, the less control the director has. – John Frankenheimer
58226. I have gotten to a point in my life where I don’t want to have dinner with someone I don’t like. – John Frankenheimer
58227. I look at actors very closely. It’s not an accident when the actors excel. – John Frankenheimer
58228. I mean, this whole digital revolution is really eroding the director’s importance on a movie because, number one, just from a practical standpoint, with floppy disks and the ability to put all of the film onto a disk, more people have access to the movie. – John Frankenheimer
58229. I sought Ben Affleck because I needed an everyman for this role. Ben appeals to men and women. He gives you a sense of intelligence, the notion of a guy who can think on his feet. – John Frankenheimer
58230. I think I’ve made some pretty decent films in the ’80s and ’90s. – John Frankenheimer
58231. I think all great actors – and I don’t classify myself as one of them, incidentally – but I think all great actors listen well and I’ve learned that from a lot of the very good actors with whom I’ve worked – to really listen to what people say. – John Frankenheimer
58232. First, speaking for myself, I don’t want to ever be in a position where I’m telling other directors how to make movies, because I don’t think it’s any of my business. – John Frankenheimer
58233. I really, really love directing films. – John Frankenheimer
58234. There are no rules. That is how art is born, how breakthroughs happen. Go against the rules or ignore the rules. That is what invention is about. – Helen Frankenthaler
58235. A really good picture looks as if it’s happened at once. It’s an immediate image. – Helen Frankenthaler
58236. I wanted things that I couldn’t at times articulate. – Helen Frankenthaler

58238. The question of sex will take care of itself. – Helen Frankenthaler
58239. We would sift through every inch of what it was that worked, or if it didn’t, and wonder what was effective in it, in terms of paint, the subject matter, the size, the drawing. – Helen Frankenthaler
58240. Whatever the medium, there is the difficulty, challenge, fascination and often productive clumsiness of learning a new method: the wonderful puzzles and problems of translating with new materials. – Helen Frankenthaler
58241. You have to know how to use the accident, how to recognise it, how to control it, and ways to eliminate it so that the whole surface looks felt and born all at once. – Helen Frankenthaler
58242. The landscapes were in my arms as I did it. – Helen Frankenthaler
58243. There can be no security where there is fear. – Felix Frankfurter
58244. The mode by which the inevitable is reached is effort. – Felix Frankfurter
58245. To some lawyers, all facts are created equal. – Felix Frankfurter
58246. Judicial judgment must take deep account of the day before yesterday in order that yesterday may not paralyze today. – Felix Frankfurter
58247. We forget that the most successful statesmen have been professionals. Lincoln was a professional politician. – Felix Frankfurter
58248. Wisdom too often never comes, and so one ought not to reject it merely because it comes late. – Felix Frankfurter
58249. I came into the world a Jew, and although I did not live my life entirely as a Jew, I think it is fitting that I should leave as a Jew. I don’t want to turn my back on a great and noble heritage. – Felix Frankfurter
58250. The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes. – Felix Frankfurter
58251. The mark of a truly civilized man is confidence in the strength and security derived from the inquiring mind. – Felix Frankfurter
58252. The history of liberty has largely been the history of the observance of procedural safeguards. – Felix Frankfurter
58253. Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man. – Felix Frankfurter
58254. Litigation is the pursuit of practical ends, not a game of chess. – Felix Frankfurter
58255. Answers are not obtained by putting the wrong question and thereby begging the real one. – Felix Frankfurter
58256. The ultimate touchstone of constitutionality is the Constitution itself and not what we have said about it. – Felix Frankfurter
58257. It simply is not true that war never settles anything. – Felix Frankfurter
58258. Anybody can decide a question if only a single principle is in controversy. – Felix Frankfurter
58259. All our work, our whole life is a matter of semantics, because words are the tools with which we work, the material out of which laws are made, out of which the Constitution was written. Everything depends on our understanding of them. – Felix Frankfurter
58260. Freedom of the press is not an end in itself but a means to the end of achieving a free society. – Felix Frankfurter
58261. I don’t like a man to be too efficient. He’s likely to be not human enough. – Felix Frankfurter
58262. Gratitude is one of the least articulate of the emotions, especially when it is deep. – Felix Frankfurter
58263. It is a fair summary of history to say that the safeguards of liberty have been forged in controversies involving not very nice people. – Felix Frankfurter
58264. It is a wise man who said that there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals. – Felix Frankfurter
58265. It is anomalous to hold that in order to convict a man the police cannot extract by force what is in his mind, but can extract what is in his stomach. – Felix Frankfurter
58266. It must take account of what it decrees for today in order that today may not paralyze tomorrow. – Felix Frankfurter
58267. As a member of this court I am not justified in writing my private notions of policy into the Constitution, no matter how deeply I may cherish them or how mischievous I may deem their disregard. – Felix Frankfurter
58268. Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human. – Viktor E. Frankl
58269. For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person’s life at a given moment. – Viktor E. Frankl
58270. What is to give light must endure burning. – Viktor E. Frankl
58271. Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked. – Viktor E. Frankl

58276. Fear may come true that which one is afraid of. – Viktor E. Frankl
58277. Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. – Viktor E. Frankl
58278. Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone’s task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it. – Viktor E. Frankl
58279. Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible. – Viktor E. Frankl
58280. When we are no longer able to change a situation – we are challenged to change ourselves. – Viktor E. Frankl

58284. My faith always has been and always will be important to me. – Aretha Franklin
58285. If a song’s about something I’ve experienced or that could’ve happened to me it’s good. But if it’s alien to me, I couldn’t lend anything to it. Because that’s what soul is all about. – Aretha Franklin

58536. I am not interested in considering another TV series. This one was a wonderful experience which will be hard to top, and It’s caused me to turn down several good film opportunities because of the schedule. – Dennis Franz
58537. I consider myself fortunate that I’ve been able to find a character that people have responded to. – Dennis Franz

58550. It’s not surprising to see in my own work, looking back, and in the work of some of my peers, an attention to family. It’s nice to write a book that does tend toward significance and meaning, and where else are you sure of finding it? – Jonathan Franzen
58551. I wrote two plotted books, got some of the fundamentals of storytelling down, then… it’s sort of like taking the training wheels off, trying to write a book that’s fun in the same way without relying on quite such mechanical or external beats. – Jonathan Franzen

58559. I used to think it was hard to write, and I still find the process more or less unpleasant, but if I know what I’m doing it rattles along, then the rewrite whips it into shape rather quickly. – Jonathan Franzen

58572. I don’t like it, but this afternoon I’ve told myself I am going to go and get a dress. – Antonia Fraser

58584. King Charles II liked women’s company and well as making love to them. – Antonia Fraser
58585. Lives in previous centuries for women are largely a matter of class. It would have been fun to have been a rich, privileged woman in the 18th century, but no fun at all to be her maid. – Antonia Fraser
58586. Mary Queen of Scots was my first love, and that is always something special. – Antonia Fraser
58587. My advantage as a woman and a human being has been in having a mother who believed strongly in women’s education. She was an early undergraduate at Oxford, and her own mother was a doctor. – Antonia Fraser

58589. My mother, who was quite sharp when I was young, became utterly mild. – Antonia Fraser

58598. I suppose if it has a practical purpose, I appreciate a pat on the back. I suppose it’s rewarding, ultimately. – Brendan Fraser

58603. All you have to do is just believe in what’s there; then, the audience will, too. – Brendan Fraser
58604. I believe you have a responsibility to comport yourself in a manner that gives an example to others. As a young man, I prayed for success. Now I pray just to be worthy of it. – Brendan Fraser

58607. Graham Greene, as I understand it, was quite outspoken in his criticism of American foreign policy. – Brendan Fraser

58610. Elizabeth Hurley and I had a lot of fun together. She’s a very beautiful, confident woman. – Brendan Fraser

58612. As sophisticated as the technology gets, the less sophisticated you have to become as an actor. – Brendan Fraser
58613. I guess darkness serves a purpose: to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think that’s the basis of Greek mythology. – Brendan Fraser
58614. I’ve been grateful enough, smart enough to take the work with Ian McKellen in Gods And Monsters. – Brendan Fraser
58615. When you throw punches at actors, you stop, you pull it, and it looks like you pulled it. When you throw punches at cartoon characters, they are not there, so you can swing through. It looks like you really decked them. – Brendan Fraser

58626. I’m just glad that I have bragging rights to working with Bugs and Daffy. – Brendan Fraser

58630. I wish I could go home. I’ve been on the road since May. I wonder if my dogs still remember me. – Brendan Fraser
58631. I don’t believe that wishing works. I think we get the things we work for. – Brendan Fraser
58632. If you run an Internet search on Vietnam and the war, most of the information you get begins at about 1962. I think this is telling. It is missing the whole period that led up to the reasons the war happened in the first place. – Brendan Fraser

58640. I used to do some terrible things in the marshalling area to upset my rivals. – Dawn Fraser
58641. I don’t linger on the fact that Dawn Fraser was a great swimmer 40 years ago. That was in the past. I did break 41 world records, but I don’t live on that today. – Dawn Fraser

58917. When I look at a body it gives me choice of what to put in a painting, what will suit me and what won’t. – Lucian Freud
