Gigabit Opportunity Zones would enable Americans to become participants in, rather than spectators of, the digital economy. They would be a powerful solution to the digital divide. I hope our elected officials will give the idea serious consideration.
Ajit Pai
I spoke to the 'Wine Spectator' because that's PR; that's how you sell wine.
Alain Wertheimer
I was raised on John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee series. Something about this genre - hard-boiled-private-eye-with-heart-of-gold - never failed to take me away from whatever difficulties haunted my daily world to a wonderful land where I was no more than an enthralled spectator.
Alan Furst
Good spectator sports share certain fundamentals. Their competitors battle head-to-head. Their winners are determined objectively: fastest runner, most points. They are refereed, not judged.
Alex Berenson
I grew up in a house where I was a spectator to the sport of cooking. In that way, I just learned so much about what it really takes to make food.
Alex Guarnaschelli
In England, the fans are more spectators than supporters. There's a better atmosphere in French stadiums.
Alexandre Lacazette
It is our lack of will that lies behind the continued denial of justice to Jean McConville. Yet there is something that we can do now for her and for ourselves before our silence turns us from spectators into passive accomplices. We can remember her.
Amanda Foreman
I wrote my first song, called Spectator,' when I was 11.
Ananya Birla
If 'Spectator Business' works, we will continue this brand extension strategy and look at everything from 'Spectator Arts' to 'Spectator Style and Travel' or 'Spectator Connoisseur.'
Andrew Neil
In the highly unlikely event that the 'Telegraph' was to be sold again, then 'The Spectator' doesn't go with it.

Andrew Robertson
It certainly is dangerous that there are only a few clubs left in Europe that can afford to pay millions. At the end of the day however, the spectators decide the rates of pay - by watching the games and consuming the goods and services advertised on sports TV programmes.
Angela Merkel
It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.
Ansel Adams
The only time you actually are a spectator of your own work is the day you read the script.
Antonio Banderas
In constructing the plot and working it out with the proper diction, the poet should place the scene, as far as possible, before his eyes. In this way, seeing everything with the utmost vividness, as if he were a spectator of the action, he will discover what is in keeping with it, and be most unlikely to overlook inconsistencies.
Aristotle
Before I worked on film, I studied the theatre, and I expected that I would spend my whole career in theatre. Gradually, I started writing for the cinema. However, I feel grateful towards the theatre. I love working with spectators, and I love this experience with the theatre, and I like theatre culture.
Asghar Farhadi
I chose those films which I would like as a spectator. Then, I also look at the character and decide whether I will enjoy playing it as an actor.
Atul Kulkarni
A writer is a spectator, looking at everything with a highly critical eye.
Bernard Malamud

I can't remember the last time I've been to a football game as a spectator.
Professional gaming competitions are creating celebrities who are recognized and revered as athletes were in prior generations. Spectator gaming is becoming as popular as mainstream sports.
Musicians are there in front of you, and the spectators sense their tension, which is not the case when you're listening to a record. Your attention is more relaxed. The emotional aspect is more important in live music.
In my earlier paintings, I wanted the space between the picture plane and the spectator to be active.
Cinema builds memories; great films continue to exist in the spectator's mind. We are naturally capable of and prone to nostalgia. A spectator will reconstruct a film he or she has seen, years later, and may even change their original opinion. One critic, for example, once gave the finger to one of my films; later he wrote me to apologize.
Hollywood films are alienating to the spectator because they use too much dialogue, too much explication and leave no space for the viewer. They depress me.
Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.
Democracy is not a spectator sport. It is a difficult, hard, full-contact, participatory endeavor.
I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.
In one respect, it's easier to open a restaurant in New York because you get more media attention than anywhere else. Almost everyone will try a new place once, irrespective of the reviews, because it's a spectator sport.
Writing at the 'American Spectator' in the 1990s, we threw everything we thought would stick at President Clinton.
'Spectator Books' is presented by the genial Sam Leith. Leith has a little catch in his delivery that quickly becomes addictive. It's things like this that give podcasts their charm.
I try to put on a show while being effective because the spectators come to be entertained by beautiful play.
When I'm onstage, I feel a lot of love. But I don't like crowds and random spectators.
In the West, people tend to look at life as spectators, but in the East, people are the thing.
The work of art assumes the existence of the perfect spectator, and is indifferent to the fact that no such person exists.
The problem is there is no such thing as a viable democracy made up of experts, zealots, politicians and spectators.
I'm a huge music fan. I usually say that if I had been born with a musical inclination, it would've been great. The Beatles changed everything for me, and I wanted to be a journalist for 'Rolling Stone.' I'm a big music fan in a Cameron Crowe way, kind of in a spectator way.
Given the huge number Xbox owners and how many of them love gaming spectatorship, it's a natural fit to bring the Twitch experience to the 360.
There is a risk women's football becomes the most popular spectator sport that fans tune into every four years but are not interested in parting with their money to watch the same players on their doorstep.
Some players feel that winning is everything and that losing is a disaster. Not me. I want the spectators to take home a good memory.
The film of tomorrow will resemble the person who made it, and the number of spectators will be proportional to the number of friends the director has.
I'm doing a book, 'Chasing Science,' about the pleasures of science as a spectator sport.
I'm exchanging molecules every 30 days with the natural world and in a spiritual sense I know I am a part of it and take my photographs from that emotional feeling within me, rather than from an emotional distance as a spectator.
It's good to draw spectators to the grounds, but I don't think Twenty20 will help you produce good Test cricketers.

I think my younger self would be more amazed to know I was doing an interview for 'The Spectator.'
There's always a wine bully. The one person who did read the 'Wine Spectator,' who tells you what to drink and why the '97 is better than the '98. I want to punch the wine bully in the face. I want to make sure this generation of wine drinkers isn't elitist and snotty. I want it to be about family and bringing people together.
I know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators.
