French design hardly exists except as artificial modernism.

Over the past 20 years I have noticed that the most flexible dynamic inquisitive minds among my students have been industrial design majors. Industrial designers are bracingly free of ideology and cant. The industrial designer is trained to be a clear-eyed observer of the commercial world - which like it or not is modern reality.

People on death row the treatment of animals women's right to choose. So much in America is based on religious fundamentalist Christianity. Grow up! This is the modern world!

Crucial to understanding federalism in modern day America is the concept of mobility or 'the ability to vote with your feet.' If you don't support the death penalty and citizens packing a pistol - don't come to Texas. If you don't like medicinal marijuana and gay marriage don't move to California.

Every family is different. I am mom and I am dad and I'm going to do my best. You should be proud walk through life saying I have the coolest family. I am part of a modern family.

I've got an idea for a modern day faerie tale that I think would made a great short novel. But I just don't have the time to work on it right now. I'm way too busy with the 'Kingkiller Chronicles' and being a new dad.

Fathers in today's modern families can be so many things.

The place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one particularly if he plays golf.

President Obama and our all-of-the-above energy strategy is the real deal. We are proud of the fact that we are importing less oil than at any time in modern history and it has been because of the president's vision and courage.

My purpose is to make a movie to make you warm. To give you some heat. Now this rational world has become a place where only what is cool is good. Do you cut the movie on the basis of the beat of modernity or the basis of the beat of your own heart?

Modern people are only willing to believe in their computers while I believe in myself.

One of the most feared expressions in modern times is 'The computer is down.'

Just as characteristic perhaps is the intellectual interdependence created through the development of the modern media of communication: post telegraph telephone and popular press.

During the past few decades modern technology with radio TV air travel and satellites has woven a network of communication which puts each part of the world in to almost instant contact with all the other parts.

The first reason for the preponderant influence of those Evangelicals who define themselves as advocates of Religious Right theological and political ideologies is that they have both the financial means and technological know-how to make widespread use of modern electronic forms of communication.

I don't think my principles change. I think the way in which you apply those principles to modern society changes.

No matter how many modern parts I do people still refer to me as Mrs. Costume Drama. Fight Club is a studio pic and I've done very few of those. I've got a feeling it's going to change things for me.

Mental illness is the last frontier. The gay thing is part of everyday life now on a show like 'Modern Family ' but mental illness is still full of stigma. Maybe it is time for that to change.

I hate modern car radios. In my car I don't even have a push-button radio. It's just got a dial and two knobs. Just AM. One knob makes it louder and one knob changes the station. When you're driving that's all I want.

I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.

Rarely in modern times has there been such a revolution in commercial sentiment as occurred in 2008 or such a display in government and business of panic and helplessness.

When I decided to get married at 40 I couldn't find a dress with the modernity or sophistication I wanted. That's when I saw the opportunity for a wedding gown business.

In the modern world of business it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create.

I was brought up in the modern world of all the luxury and the highlight of show business. I was born into a Christian home.
