I hope we can agree that it’s better to cut taxes substantially, robustly, for the middle class as opposed to the top 1 percent. That would lift people’s wages or take-home pay. And when you do that, you automatically are reducing somewhat the big costs in their lives.

In the restaurant business, as opposed to the theater, center orchestra is an 8 P. M. reservation. Orchestra on the side is 7 or 8:30. Mezzanine is 6 and 9. But people don’t take it personally when they call the theater and can’t get what they want.
In general, we’re a social network. I prefer that because I think it is focused on the people part of it – as opposed to some people call it social media, which I think focuses more on the content.

It’s really interesting working in television as opposed to the theater, where you know the arc of the character and you are able to create this whole backstory.

For ‘City of Ghosts,’ I really didn’t speak any Arabic. It obviously made it more difficult, but I also found it to be an advantage while shooting. It allowed me to focus on the emotion of the scene as opposed to just chasing dialogue.
I was just tapped on the shoulder from above and told to write these songs, as opposed to wanting to be a success in the music business.

There’s no dialogue regarding meaningful change.
There has to be a readjustment of resources that is being diverted to police and policing as opposed to community health services, and there certainly has to be control over the police by the communities that they are supposed to protect and serve.
