Quote examples
John Lloyd Young
American Actor
I think that of musicals - especially the big, splashy ones - require an actor that's also part cheerleader, too, and that's really tough to do if it's not something that really grabs you and your heart's not in it.

Sunny Ozell
American Musician
I don't get used to it. When something splashy comes around like the Emmys or the Baftas I'm still bowled over that a gal from Reno, Nevada, is on the arm of a gent like Patrick Stewart.
Quote examples
Valeria Golino
Italian Actress
There's no big splashy renaissance in Italian films. We have good young actors and directors. What we lack are screenwriters. It's hard to write about Italy.
