  • 2. Look demanding somebody do anything in this day and age is not going to fly.

  • 3. 'Twilight' is such an amazing project and I think it opened up doors for all of us cast members.

  • 3. Anger is a good motivator.

  • 3. Mr. Speaker I rise today to recognize the Peace Corps as it reached its 45th anniversary on March 1 2006.

  • 2. Architecture in general is frozen music.
  • 3. Architecture doesn't come from theory. You don't think your way through a building.
