In TV you have to open a show the subject, you deal with an idea. Then you deal with a sponsor – but fast. Then you have to announce the guest stars. As a result, you have a big fat 30, 40 seconds – 50 if they really lose their heads – to put together an unbelievable mishmash.
I have been given permission to announce that I and others from ‘All My Children’ have been approached by the company Prospect Park, who bought ‘AMC,’ with the intention to move it online.

If Saudi Aramco is listed, then it must announce its statements, and it will do that every quarter. It will be under the supervision of all Saudi banks, all analysts, all Saudi thinkers. Even more, all international banks and research and planning centres in the world will monitor it intensively.
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president… is morally treasonable to the American public.
I always talk with my technical staff before I announce a squad. I have always done that; I am changing nothing.

I remember people were horrified when I celebrated my 50th! ‘Don’t announce your age,’ I was advised! How stupid is that.
I remember when Lindbergh arrived in Paris, I was one of the first persons to know about his landing, because as the French people know that I was born in St. Louis, thinking I would be very proud to announce it to the public, they gave me the news first. I was then starring in the ‘Folies Bergere.’
We have several projects in the pipeline, but one of the rules we set for ourselves is we don’t want to solicit or announce any projects that aren’t ready for publication. I’m personally really tired of reading about titles that never come out.

Let any pretty girl announce a divorce in Hollywood and the wolves come running. Fresh meat for the beast, and they are always hungry.

Not many dictators announce their resignation, but I did because I didn’t want to stay on and overstay my welcome.
Have you ever seen Glenn Beck in operation? It is the most terrifying thing. It’s so bad that you think he’s going to announce in a minute that it’s all a great con. He makes Sarah Palin look reasonable and steady.
I was the last person to announce I was running for Congress in a big district, and I still won.
If you simply announce that things are irrational, then that alone doesn’t get you very far. You have to replace rational agents with some concrete notion of what it means to be irrational.

I am a black American, I say, and thus announce my atavistic connection to all others who live as black Americans, to all who ever lived as black Americans. Religion, caste, class, gender and race can all be atavisms, and they are inherently anti-democratic because they exclude all outside the atavism.
Nowadays, people often ask me when I came out, generalising from the experience of many young people who announce themselves to the world on a particular afternoon. But I did not divorce my reticence in a single sharp break. Rather, I seeped out like a spreading wine stain.
I have a simple life. I mean, you just give me a drum roll, they announce my name, and I come out and sing. In my job I have a contract that says I’m a singer. So I sing.
The most valuable thing my dad taught me was to never care about what other people thought. When he came to my shows, and I’d announce his presence, he’d stand up with his hands clasped in victory and cheer my name.

A sure way to claim a bit of cool in Hollywood – if you’re an actress, at least – is to announce you don’t have a stylist. Some of the most consistently elegant, inimitable women on the red carpet, like Marion Cotillard, Blake Lively, and Diane Kruger, say they go at it alone.
I promise you, every insurgent, freedom fighter, and stray gunman in Iraq who we arrested knew the ropes, knew that the way out was to announce he had been tortured by the Americans, ill treated, or prevented from reading the Koran or eating his breakfast or watching the television.
Everything in nature has its own intrinsic charm, as the work of its Creator’s hand; but the chief beauty of the whole lies in its suggested relations to humanity. Things announce and wait for persons. The house would not have been thus beautifully built and furnished, except for an expected tenant.
The government’s view is that the best time to announce bad news, news that it doesn’t want the public to dwell on is late on a Friday, when it will wind up in the Saturday papers, which if you were readers, then the week day editions. A holiday weekend is even better.
