accolades asks
While we do not ask for accolades, we must defend ourselves from repeated public attacks.
fierce forgotten good-things
The blowback against a bailout of Lehman would have been fierce. It is often forgotten, but the prevailing wisdom the day after Lehman fell was that its collapse was a good thing.
around-the-world development brilliant
Britain is doing brilliant things around the world and that is why I described as a 'superpower on development'.
wake-up
I'm thankful that every day I actually get to wake up.
saying-nothing captains watches
He's [Captain Cold] not the big bad, but he's certainly playing a pretty big role. Especially in the early part of the season, he's Barry's main nemesis. There is a very definitive big bad in Season 1 that will become apparent as you watch the show. How's that for saying nothing?
homes individual none problem restoring
The problem is that none of this is market-based. If individuals were responsible for insuring their homes and individual communities were responsible for restoring their beaches, it would be a whole different scenario.
singers way singer-songwriters
The way I work, I'm not a confessional singer-songwriter.

I really wanted to get something with the vocal that I've never gotten before Armchair Apocrypha.
numbers pay attention
I just pay attention to what's in my head. That's my number-one rule.
indie-rock rocks labels
I've always found that whatever you say about indie rock, it is the most inclusive genre or title for anything. It doesn't pin you down too much, like other labels would. It's just newer, it has less baggage.
tragedy ghost witch
Shakespeare also introduces the supernatural into some of his tragedies; he introduces ghosts, and witches who have supernatural knowledge.
tragedy important world
We cannot arrive at Shakespeare's whole dramatic way of looking at the world from his tragedies alone, as we can arrive at Milton's way of regarding things, or at Wordsworth's or at Shelley's, by examining almost any one of their important works.
