I actually think I need ‘Homeland‘ rehab. And that Ray Donovan. I think I’ve watched every episode more than once. Liev Schreiber, Jeffrey Wright and Jon Voight have made me fall in love with acting again.

Tasha Smith

In 2004, Lawrence Wright wrote in the ‘New Yorker‘ about ‘The Kingdom of Silence,’ where a massive sewer project in Jeddah was really a series of manhole covers across the city with no actual pipes underneath. I, as the editor of a major paper at the time, can say that we all knew – and we never reported on it.

Jamal Khashoggi

Jay Wright is class personified. He wins with class, loses with dignity when he does, which is not often.

Dianne Reeves

For Michael Wright and Frank Darabont to cast me as the ultimate good guy and Eddie Burns as the ultimate bad guy, and really switching roles from what we usually play, is pretty awesome. That generally doesn’t happen, but TNT is a horse of a different color.

Jurnee Smollett-Bell

I haven‘t any wisdom – just a child like everybody else. I’m not as great as Frank Lloyd Wright.

Gary David Goldberg

My grandfather Frank Lloyd Wright wore a red sash on his wedding night. That is glamour!

Furthermore, his campaign website featured anti-Semitic posts.

David Limbaugh

Back in his Chicago Senate days, when he was seeking greater black credibility, Obama was happy enough to attend the Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ.

Mike Birbiglia

Innovation really is the life blood of our American economy… looking back at the stories of Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and the Wright Brothers, you look at emergence to technology innovation and what it has done for our economy. We need to continue that.

Dan Lipinski

Alan Shearer, Ian Wright, unbelievable centre-forwards – but you could not say to them: ‘For the next three weeks I want you to play No 10 and thread the ball through the eye of a needle.’

Paul Merson

No-one can replace Richard Wright – he was my musical partner and my friend.

David Gilmour

Where most politicians would have abandoned a supporter like Jeremiah Wright and the community he served, Obama, while strongly criticizing him, did not throw his friend overboard.

Bob Beckel

I do not regret the years I spent reading the traditional canon of white male writers in school. I do regret reading so little else there: Austen, George Eliot and occasionally Woolf, likewise Wright, Ellison, Hughes and Gwendolyn Brooks.

Margo Jefferson

Few Westerners know Iran as well as Robin Wright: her first trip there as a journalist was in 1973, and she has covered every important milestone since, from the Islamic revolution and the hostage crisis to the more recent staring contest with the West over Tehran‘s nuclear program.

Nancy Gibbs

I love Robin Wright’s character in ‘House of Cards‘ because she’s a bona fide villain. She’s a not-nice person in a believable way; you can see her working in the world.

Gillian Flynn

Martin Filler

Frank Lloyd Wright made houses right up until the end. I think that’s important because it gives you a direct connection to all the basic aspects of architecture – the spatial energy of the place, the construction, the materials, the site, the detail.

Steven Holl

Steven Wright can do Steven Wright very well. Not everyone can do Steven Wright’s jokes with the same results.

Wyatt Cenac
