I really love helping students and helping them empathize with people who lived a really long time ago. That’s one of the highlights of working in fiction.

I feel like I hadn’t given that many classic films, like, a really good chance. I watched ‘Casablanca’ a really long time ago when I was like, 12. I didn’t like it that much, and then when I saw it again in class, I loved it.

I learned a long time ago that you can’t skip steps.

I realized a long time ago that, even as a kid, it’s all about the choices you make, the things you pursue. In the end, you’re a sum of your choices.

Life had stopped for her a long time ago. She was so out of touch with her feelings that she had no joy in her life and no concept of the fact that she could be wrong. She delivered her care of her insane patients in a killing manner, but she was convinced she was right.

Kevin Systrom of Instagram used to work for us as a consultant in the early days of Mint. I knew him a long time ago. Maybe I could have gotten in there. But with photo sharing, I don’t know if there’s an obvious business model. I don’t think there’s a competitive, sustainable advantage.

I was close to getting married a long time ago. But it didn’t happen, and since then it has not been happening. It is jinxed, and I am very happy. I hope this jinx continues.

My work participates in that really quick and easy and inexpensive material that’s part of our culture. In that way, my work engages the means of production that we live with, even while it’s classical and embodies some things from a very long time ago.

I’m in my mid-40s now, and I came out in 11th grade, so I must have been 17. So that’s quite a long time ago, and the temperature and the culture was different.

I learned a long time ago through my dad that you shouldn’t really compare yourself to others – just because that hampers how good you can be.

A long time ago I learned how to shut my mouth, listen to my coaches and put trust in my coaches.

Instant dashi is also the key ingredient to these savory dinner oats, which I developed specifically to showcase this powerful powder. Someone a long time ago decided that oatmeal belonged in the breakfast category, but I think that chewy, hearty, steel-cut oats need more airtime in our lives.
