Quotes by Me I think the book that really kind of woke me up a little bit when I was starting to write was 'Winesburg, Ohio' by Sherwood Anderson. I was in grad school at Brown, going for an M.A. in creative writing. Those stories seemed to me to be doing away with pretty writing. Tom Drury thinkmebookschool Summer in Seattle allows me to indulge in some of the region's top culinary delights - I'm talking about wild king salmon and fresh, ripe Washington stone fruits and berries like cherries, peaches, plums, and blueberries. Tom Douglas kingstonemetalking My longtime friend Steven Steinbock, who has worked with me for more than thirty years, is a master at panfrying fish and seafood. Tom Douglas fishfriendmoreme The hurricane flooded me out of a lot of memorabilia, but it can't flood out the memories. Tom Dempsey outmefloodmemories Every time I dive, I feel an adrenaline rush like I did that first time. Until my body fails on me, I will keep going. Tom Daley feelmekeep-goingtime I would say, if you come out, they can't take away how you play football. That was the thing for me: once I did come out, it's not going to affect my diving. I can still perform, no matter what anybody else thinks of me. I'm judged for what I do in the diving pool. Tom Daley meyoumatterfootball Ensure you eat within 20 minutes of a workout. Choose healthy snacks such as slices of ham, a handful of almonds, or fruit. Sometimes before bed, I have a teaspoon of almond butter or peanut butter, which gives me enough protein to get me through the night. Tom Daley meyousometimesnight Submerging myself in water makes me feel better after travelling. There's something about it that does it for me, and I usually go for a swim after every trip. Tom Daley feelmyselfmewater I'm interested in pursuing roles that allow me to push against my own walls, my own constraints as a human being, and to find out where I'm capable of going. In real life, I'm not very good at feeling emotions, so I like to do it through my work. Tom Cullen goodmeworklife For me, I can't live without acting or drama and writing - I also run a theater company. Tom Cullen livemewritingdrama I remember at The Quilted Giraffe, when I was when working there to try out for the sous-chef position. I really wanted it, and the woman working the line next to me kept messing up and making me look bad. The last day of my kitchen trail, I just said to her very quietly, 'Do me a favor and get out of my way, because I want this job.' Tom Colicchio womandaylookme Buy the best you can find or afford and don't over manipulate it. If I cook a scallop, the best praise you can give me is that it tastes like a scallop. Tom Colicchio bestmeyoupraise You hit a certain age and - especially because of TV - the young cooks coming up say, 'You're a sellout, because you're doing something other than what you should be doing.' 'Top Chef' is a double-edged sword for me: There's a whole group of people who will not come to the restaurants because they assume I'm not in them anymore, all I do is TV. Tom Colicchio meyouagepeople No officer wants to be involved in a justified use of force proven unnecessary after the fact, any more than soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan wanted to make what proved to be the wrong decision in a shoot-don't-shoot situation. Those decisions, even if justified, live with you forever, believe me. Tom Cotton meyoudecisionbelieve For me, if its television, if it's theater, if it's film, and it's good, I don't make much of distinction between the 3. I think there's only so many great stories out there. If you get the chance to be a part of one, it doesn't matter what it is. Tom Cavanagh greatgoodmeyou My father and mother are Muslims. But from the moment I started talking, I decided I was a Christian. They let me. Tom Catena memomentmotherfather For me, our beaches have always been a source of personal inspiration. Tom Carper personalmealwaysinspiration I like reading books with both hands, with my heart pumping, with blood on the page. So I'm interested in people who make stuff, and I'm interested in the lives that make the text. To read a book or watch a movie any other way, to me, personally, feels like a waste of time and misapplication of energy. Tom Bissell mehearttimepeople I mostly associated video game storytelling with unforgivable clumsiness, irredeemable incompetence - and suddenly, I was finding the aesthetic and formal concerns I'd always associated with fiction: storytelling, form, the medium, character. That kind of shocked me. Tom Bissell gamemeaestheticcharacter Only in about 2007 or so did it become clear to me that games could stand proudly beside other storytelling mediums, and that's when I became more, shall we say, evangelistic in my position. Prior to that, I don't know how enthusiastically I would have admitted that I game. Tom Bissell standgameknowme«3940414243444546474849»
