- "White House operatives went to great lengths to show Obama shifting focus from wars abroad to domestic issues at home."
- "I’ve been leading newsrooms for a while now and it’s been an honor serving as Editor in Chief of N.J., but I really think that my best shot at moving the needle in politics is by getting close to it – by reading, reporting, tweeting and writing."

- "Actors are steeped in a world of agents and where the next job is coming from and what are their expenses and what is the hotel like. You want to take them out of that world and dump them into another world, so that when you meet them on the screen they don’t seem like the guy who was in two others movies that year."― Danny Boyle
- "I really like children to watch my movies."― Jackie Chan
