I have nothing but contempt for Gadhafi. I'm not a Gadhafi supporter in any way.

He's not the only unpleasant and unsavory dictator in the world.

Pat Toomey

Politicians don't like to face unpleasant realities. In truth, nobody does, but as individuals, we have no choice; if we neglect to plan ahead, we are held accountable. Fail to meet your responsibilities at work, and you get fired. Ignore your car's gas gauge, and you get stranded.

Hills are unpleasant, so I like to get them over with as quickly as possible.

Film, for me, is in two stages. One is when I write the script more or less on my own - that's the nice bit. And then comes for me the unpleasant bit when they all go off, 100 people - actors and camera people and film and sound - and I stay away. When they go into the editing room, I come in again, and that's the bit I like.

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
