It was necessary to have an even depth of corn on the top compared to the sides, so the air would not take the easiest route and not evenly dry the stored corn.

We got to know the competition very well. In the '50s popcorn made a big growth in sales. Our main push was to produce the best quality and sell in quality retail outlets.

Every once in a while, someone will mail me a single popcorn kernel that didn't pop. I'll get out a fresh kernel, tape it to a piece of paper and mail it back to them.

We made more money feeding molasses, urea, and corn cobs to cattle than we ever did feeding dent corn.

The cobs were delivered to a big pile. We were one of the first to feed corn cobs to cattle.

We dried continuously day and night. We had no efficient way to do it, so we built this new popcorn plant.

I opened an office in Terre Haute, established eight of them, and became one of the eight county agents.

It was necessary to have an even depth of corn on the top compared to the sides, so the air would not take the easiest route and not evenly dry the stored corn.

Most of the competition was into bulk popcorn because of the major increases in the Drive-In Theatre Outlets.

My daughter is in the lawsuit because you need that for standing.

A career is wonderful but you cant curl up with it on a cold night.

Baseball has long been a national pastime that many Americans have cherished.

Diana Ross saw me on Merv Griffin and hired me to be her opening act.

The relationship you have with your mother is like nothing else. They do kind of know everything about you, even though they don't confront it. That is often a dynamic from childhood onwards. As a teenager, you want to be independent and do slightly furtive things.

You see Democrats who will demonize business. I don't do that. You see Republicans who demonize labor. I don't do that.

Let no one delay the study of philosophy while young nor weary of it when old.

My special thing as a kid was to play dead because I thought I was really good at it. When I was 7 or 8, I even did it in the bathroom with a hair dryer in the bathtub. I realized that I was good at it because each time my mom would scream.

Eagles are seagulls with a good hairdo.

That was a pretty fine Army that we had in 1965. By 1973, it was in tatters. It was a disgrace to the country and to itself, to its own heritage, really.

Sunlight is painting.

All together, we know for many years that terror is the most dangerous thing for local, regional and international stability.

I'm a better mother if I'm also doing my work. Some women find a lot more satisfaction from doing the hardest job, which is being a mom. But I like my day job, so I juggle a lot.

My grandma loves beauty pageants, like most of Latin American culture, but it's not for me.

I feel like I've matured more musically than I have personally. But I totally embrace what becoming older has to offer. I find the wisdom that comes with each passing year is a trip.

It's not hard to look at our own world and draw parallels between 9/11, for example, and how Muslims are viewed or treated by North American culture since then. Just to see the way fear can breed hatred and intolerance for people who aren't the same as us - and that's certainly part of what's at the heart of 'Descender.'

I do believe in living out your own time, unless it's absolutely impossible, which it is for some people.
