I hadn't been there [Comic-Con] before. It's pretty eye-opening, when you haven't been there, just with the sheer amount of fans that are there for different shows and films. It's like a big fan symposium, in a way, as well a way for film studios and television studios to really promote their product to their loyal audience base. It was an experience. -- Dustin Clare
Writing those books ['Beauty' and 'Style']was really eye-opening, as you realize just how much goes into beauty and fashion, and also how much I've learned over the years.

And that was one of the first eye-opening things. -- Michael J. Fox
I think the greatest gift actually acting is that I have a true fascination and love for people, and the way they are, and all the choices they made in life and all the different paths they took.

For me, Glasgow is all about the people and the spirit of the place. You have enough Gregg's bakers, though, I'll say that.

If some people try to make a prenup into a pre-negotiation of a divorce... Well, that's really sad.

Grease' was my Broadway debut. That was eye-opening. At the same time, it was very familiar. It was a Broadway show, but it's kind of the same as doing a show in Minnesota.
