1. Donald Trump:

   People are angry, they're angry at what's going on, they're angry at the border, they're angry at the crime, they're angry at people coming in and shooting Kate [Steinle] in the back in California, in San Francisco, they're angry when Jamiel Shaw was shot in the face by an illegal immigrant, they're angry when the woman, the veteran, 65 years old, is raped sodomized and killed by an illegal immigrant. And they're very angry about it and, by the way, thousands of other cases like that.

2. Vin Diesel:

   It was a tough character to embody, the Hobbs Shaw character, my approach at the time was a lot of tough love to assist in getting that performance where it needed to be. As a producer to say, Okay, we're going to take Dwayne Johnson, who's associated with wrestling, and we're going to force this cinematic world, audience members, to regard Dwayne Johnson character as someone that they don't know -- Hobbs Shaw hits you like a ton of bricks.

3. Steve Salisbury:

   The genus name, Thapunngaka, incorporates thapun [ ta-boon ] and ngaka [ nga-ga ], the Wanamara words for' spear' and' mouth', respectively, the species name, shawi, honours the fossil's discoverer Len Shaw, so the name means' Shaw's spear mouth'.

4. Buddy DeFranco:

   Artie Shaw was way ahead of most clarinetists and most jazz players.

5. David Wills:

   I don’t know if she thought much about it at the time, because I know later in her career she didn’t want to be associated with that, but it certainly helped her get a lot of attention, you look back as early as 1945 and she was posing in bathing suits. Then at a certain time, she didn’t want to do that anymore… So for the last 10 years of her life, you rarely saw her posing in bathing suits. Only a few occasions, like the ones taken by Sam Shaw, which are in the book... But professionally at some point, she just stopped.
