Matthew Desmond Zitate

Why young men from the country become firefighters is hard to explain to people who are not from the country. For most of us, it's not about the rush, which fades with time, or the paycheck. We could earn more working for the railroad or a car dealership. I figure it's about the land.

Warum junge Männer aus dem Land Feuerwehrleute werden, ist für Menschen, die nicht aus dem Land kommen, schwer zu erklären. Für die meisten von uns geht es nicht um die Hektik, die mit der Zeit nachlässt, oder den Gehaltsscheck. Wir könnten mehr verdienen für die Eisenbahn oder ein Autohaus. Ich denke, es geht um das Land.

As more and more women, men and young people raise their voices and become active in local government, and more local leaders take action for the safety of women and girls, change happens.

Most Italians who came to this country are very patriotic. There was this exciting possibility that if you worked real hard, and you loved something, you could become successful.

Comedy Central is what these young people are viewing. The network speaks to their audience, which is saying, 'Give me fast jokes. Give me party stories and party language.'

Writing so that I can act became a way of having not more control over my future but not having to wait for permission. You can choose yourself. Hmm, who should play this part? I nominate me!

All players have 'ordinary' periods in their career and it's hard to explain why. So at these times, its all about self belief, hard work and hopefully you get the break and your form returns.
