## Quotes

* I [recorded the tape] at 5 a.m., after my prom at the university and a friend of mine shot it for a joke. I was extremely scared that this was something sketchy, it’s not a real audition, they’re gonna try to do human trafficking on me.
* Rudy Giuliani actually did call the police. But we did nothing illegal. So we left the place together… and we were happy! It’s like a family moment.
** Shaffer, Claire (17 November 2020). "Maria Bakalova Talks About That Rudy Giuliani Scene in 'Borat' Sequel". Rolling Stone.
* The moment when they announced it, it was literally a blackout. I couldn’t start jumping or crying or screaming, nothing, a blackout for a second. And then 30 minutes later, I realized it is actually happening, is this possible to happen? It’s still like a dream, it’s still like a fairytale, and it’s something I will always be grateful for Sacha [Baron Cohen] and this part that I have been given.
* I want to work on projects that are going to have strong messages, that are going to document the times that we’re living in. Our movie is a comedy, it’s a really strong satirical movie, but behind all the silliness, behind all the jokes, there are some really important messages about equality, about how we should support each other more and how we are all equals. It’s something interesting about the arts. We have a certain amount of time on this planet, on this Earth, as human beings, but the art somehow stays forever.

* I dedicate every single award to all the eastern European actors who can recognise themselves in me, because we’re from this region that hasn’t been recognised much in western cinema. That’s what I’m fighting for.
** Bromwich, Kathryn (10 April 2021). "Maria Bakalova: ‘I dedicate every award to all the eastern European actors’". The Guardian.
* I love James Gunn, I want to work with him for the rest of my life! He’s just everything. I don’t even know how to say it, he’s so talented. He’s so funny. He’s so fun. He’s such a great human being. What an example of a person that I’d want to be like. His dedication to his craft is admirable as well. It’s just phenomenal. I’ve been very lucky to meet him and to have a chance to work with him. I want to do it again and again.

## Quotes

* Southward, Putney Heath merges itself into the more extensive area of Wimbledon Common; but our limited space will not allow of our saying more of this interesting locality than that every July it is the scene of the annual meeting of the National Rifle Association. The old windmill, formerly a picturesque object on the breezy common, has been converted into the head-quarters of the Rifle Association. These annual gatherings are attended by the élite of fashion, and always include a large number of ladies, who generally evince the greatest interest in the target practice of the various competitors, whether it be for the honour of carrying off the Elcho Shield, the Queen's or the Prince of Wales's Prize, or the shield shot for by our great Public Schools, or the Annual Rifle Match between the Houses of Lords and Commons.
** Edward Walford, 'Putney', in Old and New London: Volume 6 (London, 1878), pp. 489-503. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/old-new-london/vol6/pp489-503
* I see that you are to call the attention of the House of Lords on Monday to the proposed removal of the annual meeting of the National Rifle Association from Wimbledon to some other quarter. I can conceive nothing more fatal to the encouragement of rifle shooting, both by the Volunteers and Englishmen generally, than the change from Wimbledon to another spot, as none can he found so available for the public generally, or be reached so quickly and cheaply as Wimbledon Common. Many men look forward to their Wimbledon week either as residents in camp or as shooting visitors all the year round, and a spirit of friendly feeling among all classes and nationalities of Volunteers and of interest in their performances is thereby kept up throughout the country.
** Hansard, House of Lords, vol. 318 col. 1499.
** Letter from the Earl of Wharncliffe to Earl of Wemyss, as reported in the House of Lords hansard.parliament.uk
* What I hope is that, when the whole district is full of these little rifle clubs, we may then get a central range to which they could all adjourn. Bisley is very useful to men of means, but to the ordinary civilian rifleman it might as well be in the moon. We must have local ranges if the men are really to get the good of them.
** Arthur Conan Doyle, "A British Commando", The Strand Magazine, June 1901 arthur-conan-doyle.com
** Referencing the NRA's Headquarters at Bisley, Surrey and Conan-Doyle's desire to develop local rifle clubs more accessible to working class men.

## Quotes

* You should have stood up for me. I am a son of your people. I’m one of you. And I’ve expressed a slightly out-of-normal-position political opinion, and you’ve thrown me by the wayside for it. And that is why your system will fail.
** Director of Operations Gregory Conte, 6 January 2018

## About

* He was fired from Holy Cross immediately after his affiliation with the "alt-right" came to my attention. Prior to his firing, he was successfully using an alternate identity in his work with this atrocious group. As for his potential impact on our girls, I conducted an investigation at the time of his firing and determined there was no reason to think that he negatively influenced any of our girls with his philosophy.

# Nia DaCosta

Nia DaCosta (born 1989 Nov 8) is an American director and screenwriter.

## Quotes.

* He’s a person, which is the whole point of this movie. He’s not just some like floating demon slayer, and it’s a really tricky balance…He’s someone who clearly has a lot of pain, and that’s something I find really interesting about him as a character.
** On what drew her to the character of Candyman in Candyman director Nia DaCosta: ‘It is shocking the way people have talked to me’” in The Guardian (2021 Aug 26)
* I love horror and I felt like I had a really good idea about how to make something scary, but also I’m very measured, especially with a story like this, about what is appropriate and what is not appropriate.
** On her approach to the horror genre in Candyman director Nia DaCosta: ‘It is shocking the way people have talked to me’” in The Guardian (2021 Aug 26)
* I would have hated getting the question, ‘Isn’t it so timely right now, with all these deaths going on?’ That’s not why we made it. But I think it will happen again – a summer like last summer. I think that the story we’re telling was about that: the fact that it’s cyclical. It could come out next year, it could come out any time and still be relevant.
** On how the original release date for Candyman (2021) coincided with one of the heights of the Black Lives Matter in Candyman director Nia DaCosta: ‘It is shocking the way people have talked to me’” in The Guardian (2021 Aug 26)
* It’s not necessarily overtly racist, but it is shocking the way people have talked to me in my position as a director. People who work for me. Especially on a movie like this, where Jordan was the only other person of colour at the level of decision-making on the movie. And that’s unacceptable, frankly.
** On the racism that she still encounters as a Black female director in “‘I had to leave Hollywood to save myself’: Kim Novak on art, bipolar, Hitchcock and happiness” in The Guardian (2021 Feb 15)

## Quotes
### "LJMU football star shares the secrets to her success" (2023)

    "LJMU football star shares the secrets to her success", LJMU, 23/11/23 by LJMU staff
* When it came to deciding where I should apply for university, the reputation of LJMU’s sports offering was second to none and was something I was keen to experience and be a part of. I was aware that the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences had a history of nurturing world-class athletes and I knew I’d be getting an excellent quality of teaching and support.
* It’s been massively beneficial for me to be able to play football professionally and still continue with my studies at the same time. The support the university has given me has been great, in particular from my tutors and the rest of the Sports Scholarship staff who really go out of their way to guide you. In my case, being part of the Scholarship scheme and getting so much guidance from staff definitely helped me to strike the right balance, and commit to both my studies and professional endeavors to the very best of my ability.
* The teaching curriculum on the Sport and Exercise Science course was also massively applicable to my career. Everything I learned in lectures could be related back to myself as an athlete. It also provided me with a valuable opportunity to continue to progress in my career, while still obtaining an education. It was certainly a challenging experience but it’s one that definitely enabled me to better myself as a person, improve my time-management skills and further develop qualities that I hope will continue to set me up for future success.

# Niamh Uí Bhriain

Niamh Uí Bhriain (1970 –) is an Irish pro-life activist, and family values campaigner.

## Quotes

* The truth is that our sovereignty was given away a long time ago, and the Lisbon Treaty was the final nail in the coffin for Ireland’s independence.
** Will EU Bailout Lead to Further Threats to Ireland’s Pro-Life Laws? (November 23, 2010)
* The funding being lavished on abortion campaigners amounts to unwarranted and unwanted interference in Ireland’s affairs in a bid to smash the pro-life ethos that protects both mothers and babies. Two decades of persistent public engagement and education has maintained Ireland’s pro-life majority, and, in that time, abortion campaigners have failed to win the necessary public support to build momentum for abortion legislation. But they are now openly availing of the massive global funding being made available to efforts to overturn Ireland’s pro-life laws. As in many other jurisdictions, since they cannot get the people to agree with abortion, they want to use the courts and the massive wealth and power of a tiny elite minority to foist abortion on the nation.

And He doth give Thy voice of thunder power to speak of Him Eternally—bidding the lip of man Keep silence, and upon thine altar pour Incense of awe-struck praise.

# Lee Hyeon-seo

Lee Hyeon-seo (January 1980–) is a North Korean defector and activist.

## Quotes

* Getting to freedom is only half the battle. Many North Koreans are separated from their families, and when they arrive in a new country, they start with little or no money. So we can benefit from the international community for education, English language training, job training, and more. We can also act as a bridge between the people inside North Korea and the outside world. Because many of us stay in contact with family members still inside, and we send information and money that is helping to change North Korea from inside.
