Donald Westlake’s lean prose and deadpan delivery are engaging, as always.

I probably prefer comedy. Why? I’m not sure. I feel like the energy of a comedy is a better fit for me. I try to be a happy guy! It seems that most of my life has the energy more for a comedy than for drama. I’m grateful to do both, but I would have to lean towards the comedy side of acting.
I never considered myself a supermodel or anything like that. I mean, I don’t think I’m ugly. I have good days and bad days, and I like when I’m fit and lean and all of those things that any woman likes, but it’s not the eye of the hurricane for me.

The success stories in biotechnology are mainly due to the straightforward application of design thinking in both the business and science aspects of our lean startups.
My search is always to find ways to chronicle, to share and to document stories about people, just everyday people. Stories that offer transformation, that lean into transcendence, but that are never sentimental, that never look away from the darkest things about us.
You must not lean on a tree on Sabbath, if the tree might be dependent on you for support.
I like how you can go back and watch David Lean and John Ford and see the influence that had on Steven Spielberg, especially David Lean, in the camerawork, and yet, you don’t watch any Spielberg movie and think of David Lean. Once you’re looking for it, you see it all, but it’s not in your face.

I grew up in a house where my father went on auditions, and he got some and he lost some, and there were good years and lean years.

Yung Lean is like water: he’s always changing due to the temperature, how he’s feeling.

I like a really natural looking body, so I’m not into muscles and looking like you just did 1,000 pull-ups and sit-ups and like you only eat lean turkey. That’s not for me. I just like people to look like people, and so I think it’s really attractive when men don’t have perfect bodies.
We have done a lot of work on cost reduction, getting ourselves lean, reducing our breakeven, reducing our fixed cost and increasing exports. All of these factors help because our export basket is not just automotive but also includes industrial products, railways and others.

My dirty little secret is that I hate running. I don’t like cardio. I also really like food, and all kinds of food – bread, chocolate, all of the yummy stuff. I up my cardio quite a bit and I start cutting out carbs, sugar, and salt just to try to get as lean as I can.
For lunch, I aim for a lean protein, some starch, and leafy greens, which are full of magnesium.
