We have been so pleased with the response to our unique schools in the Nashville area, and we are confident that other areas will embrace our concept, as well.

In France, everyone speaks French 'cause they think it's cool. Gives 'em, gives 'em an excuse to smoke.

Americans know as much about Canada as straight people do about gays. Americans arrive at the border with skis in July, and straight people think that being gay is just a phase. A very long phase.

A lot of gay men are in delusion if they think they're super macho.

Art is about the edges and the sharp corners and those places are not conducive to activism, which is about putting on a gloss.

Art is difficult.

Canadian comedians are generally more well-rounded... They have to do a lot more. In order to have a career in this country, you have to do everything. And in the States you can narrow-cast, you can be just a sitcom performer or a stand-up comedian or a sketch performer.

Comedy is actually very macho driven.

I first got into fruit when I was a teenager, when my life was changing in every way. The first time I had a mango, at like 18, I was like, 'Where has this been my whole life?'

I guess chemistry is just another word for love.

I resented that my career wasn't going the way that it was supposed to. And I was angry that I wasn't getting the parts that I wanted.

I think Canadian humor is a little less broad than American humor.

I think a case could be made that there's sort of a crisis of masculinity in the West. Particularly with white males.

I think the Canadian sense of humor is dryer than America's and juicier than Britain's. I think it's a cross between the two of them, really.

I wanted to be a male ballet dancer.

I'm not a wilting flower. I'm honest, so I pick a lot of fights. I've burned a lot of bridges.

I'm not really cool, or dashing, or any of those things.

I've pretty much given up on the orange. I really have. I just don't even bother. It's just either sour, or woody, or the skin's too thick. It's very nice when you come across the perfect orange, because it's really a beautiful experience. But the stakes are too high.

If comedy duos don't like each other, it just won't work.

In Canadian comedy, you'll almost never see guns. If you bring a gun into a scene, it's like, 'Whoa! Wow, how are we going to deal with that!' Guns in an American comedy are a given. Violence in America is used in a much more cavalier way.

My theory is that comedy comes from little people.

People don't listen when you lecture. No one wants to be talked down to or scolded.

This world is filled with five billion people with five billion different ways of looking at things.

Well I think comedy everywhere has lost a bit of its bite. In Canada, I can't argue with the quality, but it feels like it's gotten a little safe.

When I found out I had cancer, I just said one thing: 'I want to hold on to life' and that changed everything for me.

When I was younger I wanted to be a big movie star who'd get to be funny on talk shows and then I wanted to retire and write science fiction.

Fathers should start teaching the boys how to punch.

Jails and prisons are the complement of schools; so many less as you have of the latter, so many more must you have of the former.

Headteachers and governing bodies run schools and that won't change.

We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.

Schools that are to cater for the whole population must offer courses that are as rich and varied as are the needs and abilities of the children who enter them.

We really think it is a good thing for scientists to spend a little bit of their time either in the community or in schools or helping to train high school teachers.

Schools are successful only insofar as they reduce the dependence of a child's opportunities upon his social origins.

Sex education may be a good idea in the schools, but I don't believe the kids should be given homework.

At a moderate calculation, among a million of persons inhabiting the metropolis, there are, at least, twenty-five thousand children who attend these schools, and cost their parents as many pounds sterling, per annum.

I do not see any reason why they should not be given the means to give their teachers just as high an education as is secured by attendance at the Protestant schools.

And lastly, the political revolutions from 1911 to the present time have done more to bring about tremendous social changes everywhere than even the economic and industrial changes and the new schools.

I went to the local schools, the local state primary school, and then to the local grammar school. A secondary school, which technically was an independent school, it was not part of the state educational system.

Lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they'll only let one girl go to the bathroom. Now think about it. Think about that issue. How is it that that's happened to us?

Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end, liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the State governments, and, if need be, supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority.

Good schools, good jobs, good government. These are not unreasonable demands. But sadly, some of our people have already lost heart and have left Hawaii to look for these things elsewhere.

Scientists at MIT and engineering schools all across America say that they could improve the fuel economy standards for the existing set of vehicles by 10 miles per gallon using existing technology, without compromising safety or comfort at all.

If we had in this room a hundred teachers, good teachers from good schools, and asked them to define the word education, there would be very little general agreement.

Catholic schools in our Nation's education have been paramount in teaching the values that we as parents seek to instill in our children.

Despite the amazing diversity we're blessed with in this country, schools are still in large part segregated because of economic disparity. Sports are one of the few areas where kids are really given the opportunity to interact with those of different races and religions.

Some go on to trade schools or get further training for jobs they are interested in. Some go into the arts, some are craftsmen, some take a little time out to travel, and some start their own businesses. But our graduates find and work at what they want to do.

In traditional schools, you're penalized for making a mistake. But that won't work in the new information culture, in the digital world we live in today.

I saw how many people were poor and how many kids my age went to school hungry in the morning, which I don't think most of my contemporaries in racially segregated schools in the South thought very much about at the time.
