The cardinal sin in sports what could really wreck it is not cheating to win which has gone on forever but cheating to lose. That threatens a fundamental aspect of sports' appeal which is their spontaneity. If games are fixed they're no different from movies they're scripted.

With the CGI suddenly there's a thousand enemies instead of six - the army goes off into the horizon. You don't need that. The audience loses its relationship with the threat on the screen. That's something that's consistently happening and it makes these movies like video games and that's a soulless enterprise. It's all kinetics without emotion.

I went to dance classes from 9 in the morning until 1 then to school from 3 to 10 at night always under the threat that if I failed a single course I could forget about dancing.

If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.

Our songs touch people and take them back to a time when there was no threat of terrorism when you didn't have to lock your doors and when Mom and Dad took care of everything.

I think my mom threatened to put me up for adoption a few times.

All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened.

Men tend to feel threatened women tend to feel guilty.

Out of control judicial activism threatens traditional marriage in America.

Let us be honest with each other. The threat to marriage is not the gays. It is a lack of loving commitment - whether it is found in the form of neglect indifference cruelty or adultery to name just a few manifestations of the loveless desert in which too many marriages come to grief.
