Same job, whether it's comedy or drama. Regardless of the weight of the role, I feel like the job is always kind of the same. Who is this person?

I'd have to say Thierry Henry. From the ages of ten to 16, watching him in the Premier League was amazing and he scored all different types of goals - free-kicks, volleys, left foot, right foot. He was entertaining. He's probably the best centre-forward, I think, to play in the Premier League. -- Wayne Rooney

Such things will be regarded as an admission of weakness, or an attempt to bluff, and may do more harm than good. -- Douglas MacArthur
It has been brought to my attention that I may be a verbivore. I consumptor of words, that I subsequently spew forth with considerable consternation.A Volley of verbs that are quite vexing has taken form, perhaps under the guise of consonants most foul!!

A volley of hailstones began abruptly, filled the woods with a frenzied percussion & ended on the sudden. -- David Mitchell
