Dave Gibbons
English Artist
I always start drawing any job by planning out to some degree the locales and trying to nail the characters. If they're existing characters, I'll draw them several times on rough paper just to get a feeling for them. The ideal when you're drawing a comic is to have everything in your head, not to have to refer to notes.
Quote examples
Wolfman Jack
American Entertainer
The one thing I've learned, getting out to all those foreign and domestic locales, is that people in every country of the 'civilized' world wish - either secretly or openly - that they had the expressiveness, the flair, the I'm-so-glad-to-be-me spirit that black folks have made a part of American life.
Quote examples
Chuck D
American Musician
I believe that, artistically and culturally, the free radio air should be able to support local artists of whatever genre. Play 40 percent of your local artists; don't suck up to major labels to the point where you neglect your own locale.
Quote examples
Margot Lee Shetterly
American Writer
As a callow 18-year-old leaving for college, I'd seen my home town as a mere launching pad for a life in worldlier locales, a place to be from rather than a place to be.

Jonathan Kellerman
American Psychologist

All the privileged can travel, see different worlds; not everyone can. I think it is important for people to have an interesting locale nearby.

I make movies on gritty topics like crime, the underworld, and horror. I don't make movies with good-looking people in good-looking locales.

Jeff Abbott
American Novelist
I travel, a lot, to research the locales for the books. I have professional contacts that I can ask questions of or show them scenes to vet.

Jeremiah Brent

Incorporating travel, elements from different cultures and locales, is a great way to establish the overall tone and theme for a soiree.

The locale does not determine the dress code; the host does.
