We’re trained in school to equate mistakes with bad grades – something to be avoided at all costs. The alpha makers were somehow able to dodge that. They think that mistakes are just part of the creative process and maybe even the best way to learn.
Mark Frauenfelder
We wanna be the first American Alpha. We don’t wanna be the second Team Angle or World’s Greatest Tag Team. We’ve worked so hard to get to where we are, and we feel like we’re unique and different. Yes there are similarities but we’re still different.
Jason Jordan
I wouldn’t necessarily say that ‘Alpha House’ or ‘Betas’ embodied a particular vision of Amazon of the kind of brand or programming they were gonna do. I think those were the first lucky creators who hit it right for them.

Brian Ortega
Don’t know how much of an Alpha I am.
Bob Morley
If I could sum up ‘Shadow’s Claim’ in six words: cage fights with hot alpha males. Seriously, though, while the fights are the backdrop for Trehan and Bettina’s love story, the main emphasis is on how Trehan – a pitiless master assassin – wages the ultimate battle to win her heart.

There’s nothing funnier for me than taking two characters and throwing them into a pressure cooker and letting them turn on each other. Especially if they already tend to be loud, aggressive, alpha types. That’s sort of everything from ‘The Honeymooners’ to ‘Goodfellas’ to ‘The Sopranos.’

I see an insidious problem in the marketing of weddings as ‘the happiest day of your life.’ The pressure that is placed upon this event to be the alpha and omega of your entire existence makes it, I think, into a kind of nuptial New Year’s Eve, and we all know how that usually turns out.

‘Ali’ offers stunning re-creations of bouts Ali fought. In the second Liston fight, the auditorium is underlighted and clouded with fetid cigar smoke, which was why the famous picture of a snarling Ali standing over Liston was so dramatic; indoor arenas are now bright enough to be spotted from Alpha Centauri.
Elvis Mitchell

Alanis Morissette
I drove from Naples to the Amalfi coast in an Alpha Romeo 1969 Spider, which was lovely. There have been lots of movies made down there, and I felt a bit like James Bond – the driving is quite hairy. The locals have mopeds, but you wouldn’t catch me on a bike on those roads. A tank would be safer!

Everybody’s under God’s planet, and God is the Almighty, the Beginning, the End, the Alpha, the Omega. He’s Big Daddy. He gives out these little soldiers and sons and angels and saints to help everybody else get through to him. I’m not the ‘Jesus-only or you’re going to Hell’ kind of guy.

I wash my face at night for sure. If I’ve had makeup, on I wash it twice. And now that I’m old, I use the Rapid Repair moisturizer, which has all the stuff in it – retinol, alpha, whatever, all of it. And I do use a Neutrogena eye cream, which I didn’t used to.
