Every movie, I complicate. I make the hard choices. I remember when I was pitching ‘Pan’s Labyrinth:’ An anti-fascist fairy tale set in Civil War Spain, where the girl dies at the end. It’s not easy.
Pop music was supposed to be a flash in the pan, but here we are 50 years later and it means something to us, and it always will do. It’s incredibly important.
It can be easy to just be a professional half the time, and you may see half the results, but when you’re consistent, you can see your full results and you can pan out to be who you want to be year by year.

One of the hazards of making a major discovery early in your career is the burden of expectation, not helped in my case by becoming a wife and mother soon afterwards. I’m sure some people think it was a flash in the pan.
When I was wrong about the 2002 elections, I dumped a garbage can on my head. When my John Kerry prediction didn’t pan out in 2004, I smashed an egg on my face.
I grew up performing in glee club at my school; I was the ostrich in ‘Peter Pan,’ and then I was super-involved in church choir and worship leading at my church. So I always loved music and was involved with it, but never really thought it was what I wanted to do until I started writing.
I’m a flash in the pan: a novelty.
Loki has been written as bi, he’s also been written as pan, and it just felt like this is a show about his identity, so let’s acknowledge it and make it canon.
One of the Sunday newspapers asked me to make my favorite dish, and they photographed me holding it in the kitchen. It was roasted salmon with roasted vegetables. That’s not cooking; that’s putting things in a pan. It looked quite nice, but I’m not saying it was good.
Carrie Underwood clearly drove ‘The Sound of Music.’ For ‘Peter Pan,’ we had terrific actors but not stars, and we did not do nearly as well.
I grew up listening to a lot of player-piano music in my house and a lot of old Tin Pan Alley songs and American standards. My dad listened to a lot of traditional Irish music and I grew up doing musical theater. So most of the music I was exposed to as a kid was pre-rock n’ roll.
I would get my student loans, get money, register and never really go. It was a system I thought would somehow pan out.
I think that when you are struggling as an actor, you imagine that if things were to pan out, everything in your life would change, But really, it’s not so different. You’re still pursuing good work. You still panic that you’re doing it all wrong.
I don’t like to have to pan for gold when I read.
‘Peter Pan’ makes ‘Black Watch’ and ‘The Bacchae’ look like a walk in the park.
I love ‘Peter Pan’ to death. It’s one of the most influential pieces of storytelling in my life. It made a huge impact on how I grew up. I love the cartoon. I love the 2003 version.
The first book I really loved was ‘Little Women’ – I’d have given anything for Beth to have been allowed to live; I remember crying very much over her death, trying to make the words change just by staring at them. I loved ‘Anne of Green Gables,’ too; ‘What Katy Did;’ and ‘Peter Pan.’
I heard about the Holocaust before hearing the ‘Cinderella’ story or watching ‘Peter Pan.’
I hope I’ll die on stage at the age at 105, playing Peter Pan.
If you’re going to saute something, lightly spray olive oil in the pan or on veggies before you serve them. It adds a nice flavor. We grill a lot, so I’ll use a little on my corn or my shrimp.
I used to go to the supermarket dressed as Peter Pan when I was about five years old.
I’ve seen pretty much all the ‘Peter Pan’s except for one of the further back ones where the boy had curly hair. I can’t remember. I really loved the 2003 version. I really loved that one because that was around the year I was born. That’s quite funny.
When I got the phone call that I was told I was Peter Pan, I freaked out, because I was like, ‘Wow! How does that happen?’ But pretty much, from there on, everyone’s been so lovely.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to do Pan Pacs because I wanted to focus on other things, like getting my shoulder right again and getting my strength back in the gym.
When I lived in China, there were no libraries. My mother bought books for me, and they were mostly the classics. I read ‘Peter Pan,’ ‘The Secret Garden,’ the ‘Rosemary’ books, and Kipling’s ‘Just So’ Stories was one of my favorites. No, I didn’t read historical fiction. It didn’t exist where I was growing up in China.
The moment I’m perceived to be even a tiny bit successful, my career will go down the pan.
‘Peter Pan,’ I think, was a game-changer. That was the first song that really had some heartbeat to it… I think that’s the song that got people’s attention.
The standard nine- by 13-inch baking pan is essential for every kitchen. This is the perfect vessel for bubbling casseroles, cheesy lasagnas, even for roasting meat and vegetables.
The most used thing I have is my wok. I prefer it to a pan or pot. It is my wonder. They’re really easy to clean, I am a lazy cook like that, so it appeals.
For those, like me, who can’t rely on being given a home smoker this Christmas, you can build your own approximation with just a roll of tin foil and a big wok or pan for which you have a lid.
This plucky NASA telescope is able to find planets en masse. If you compare planet hunting to prospecting for gold, then Kepler is equivalent to trading in your trusty pan for a diesel-powered sluice box.
Our goal was to show people a vision of food they hadn’t seen before. So, I had this idea of… let’s cut all these things in half, and show a picture of the food in the pan, in the oven.
My own favorite way to cook and eat razor clams is to simply dredge them in a mix of seasoned flour and cornmeal, then pan fry them in butter until crisp and golden. Be careful not to overcook them so they stay tender, not tough and chewy.
From the time I was 18, I knew I wanted to be a comedian, but I was just scared to try it. And first I thought, ‘Well, I should go to college and get a degree.’ That didn’t pan out.
The ‘Pan’ script made it to the Black List in 2013.
I’m so excited to be appearing in ‘Peter Pan.’ It really is an extraordinary production, the like of which Wembley has never seen before. It’s a big, bold arena extravaganza and festive treat with something for everyone.
I don’t know a kid who grew up in the ’90s who wasn’t obsessed with Disney, and I guess I never grew out of that phase, honestly. It’s not just Disney: it’s anything that has to do with fairytales for me. I think I just have Peter Pan Syndrome or something.
In my childhood home, the chip pan was always on the go.
We cannot forget about Rachel Maddow. She is the Peter Pan of MSNBC. But instead of never growing up, she never gets to the point.
The Brexit vote, the presidential elections in the U.S., a number of the other regional political movements – that’s not a flash in the pan.
No one owns life, but anyone who can pick up a frying pan owns death.
To be honest, Peter Pan was one of those fairy tales that I sort of related to, and I think that’s the case with a lot of kids.
Peter Pan has been one of my dream roles since I was a child.
I left an office at the top of the Pan Am Building, a nine-room apartment, and a farm in Vermont because I was aching inside. It took an analyst to tell me I could write a note of permission to become a musician and sign it.
I wasn’t a Pan Am pilot or any other kind of pilot.
My mind is stuffed with quotes. Lines, couplets, paragraphs, stanzas; Bessie Smith, Stevie Smith, Tin Pan Alley, rock and roll. They tease or lead or hurl me into a dream space of jostling languages that I need to bask in each day in order to write.
‘Peter Pan’ is my favorite. I love the idea that all the Lost Boys were orphans, and that they wanted Wendy to be their mom.
Imagine two years worth of stuff that you’ve been holding on to and everything just keeps piling up to the point where the pot just overflows. You know what happens when a pot overflows? It hits the side of the pan and it hits the fire and the fire just explodes.
It’s funny I’m talking to ‘Rolling Stone’ right now, because back then, it was like, ‘Punk rock? Put it back. It’s just a flash in the pan.’

There’s nothing ‘flash in the pan’ about my career. It’s been built fan by fan, city by city.
Classic Christmas cookies are really time-consuming. Instead, make a bar you can bake in a pan and just cut up, like a brownie or a blondie or a shortbread, which still has that Christmas vibe.
My old man worked for Pan American.
When the opportunity came along to do the reality show, it was just a very exciting time. We really never thought about how it would pan out for the entire family but just knew that it was going to be a great journey.
