There is nothing in the world like the extraordinary Shiraz and Grenache wines from South Australia.

When I was a child, I wanted to... go into space! To go to Mars. I wanted to explore and explore and explore. I wanted to go to the Lost World in South America - I was heartbroken to discover there were no dinosaurs; I still don’t accept it Picture Quote #1

As regards to personal safety, you do have to be careful not to put yourself at risk when travelling in South Africa. You don’t want to go out exploring at night, for example Picture Quote #1

I don’t know many South Africans who don’t have their eyes wide open to what it’s like to be exposed to some sort of violence. The question is whether we choose to be cynical about it or not Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a working-class Catholic family in south Louisiana. I went to a state university. I taught literature, wrote a novel that was the novel I wanted to write, and got a couple of good reviews but no real traction. I had no idea how to get a job in TV Picture Quote #1

Using the Africanist model, each generation should take the family name to a higher place. My father’s folks were sharecroppers in South Carolina. He went to Harlem. They were still poor, but they moved up. If my parents didn’t do this and offer me this background, I wouldn’t be here Picture Quote #1

I was always very aware of the nature of the place where I was growing up in Gulfport, Mississippi, how that place was shaping my experience of the world.

I want to go to Lapland and see Father Christmas, and now I’ve got a child, so I’ve got an excuse. Also, I’d like to go to South America especially as I’m now living in that part of the world, in L.A. now. And I must get down to Mexico Picture Quote #1

Gwynned lies two days westwards; still further south, the weregeld calls. Mayhap with All-Father Woden’s favour, my deeds may yet inspire the skalds Picture Quote #1

I’d really like to visit India and South America. I think India will be a great mix of sightseeing and relaxing, and I’ve got a feeling it will also be good for one’s soul and spirit.

From the beginning, Mandela and Tambo was besieged with clients. We were not the only African lawyers in South Africa, but we were the only firm of African lawyers. For Africans, we were the firm of first choice and last resort Picture Quote #1

For generations comedians have made jokes about Scots-Irish in the South inter-breeding. I am my own grandpa and all that stuff; you know, because they all were marrying their first cousins Picture Quote #1

South Park’ is so hilarious... I remember when it first came out: that show changed television forever Picture Quote #1
