Advertising seemed almost natural to me because it was a business where you had to inform, persuade and educate. And so from being a junior copywriter to being the creative director of one of the largest advertising agencies in the country took me 4.5 years, which is, well, a fairly spectacular rise.

There are so many elements that make 'Orange' spectacular - the writing, the acting, what we talk about - but we can't neglect the music of the show. It sets a fantastic tone.

Adrienne C. Moore

The cultural center of Asia Minor, Pergamon boasted a vast library of 200,000 scrolls, a spectacular 10,000-seat theater, and a monumental Great Altar decorated with sculptures of the Olympian gods defeating the Giants. People came from all around the Mediterranean seeking cures at the famous Temple of Asclepius, god of medicine.

Adrienne Mayor

Monday Night Football started in 1970, and when it started, it was something extremely special because sports had not been aired in prime time. So, it was a novelty, and a lot of people thought it wouldn't work, and, of course, it worked spectacularly well.

Al Michaels

If I'm going to do something, I do it spectacularly or I don't do it at all.

Al-Waleed bin Talal

The potential for Twitter is spectacular and great.

Over the years, I played with a couple of spectacular guitar players, and playing with them has made me play better than I knew how to play. I hope the same thing is true with acting.

Alan Arkin

The message films that try to be message films always fail. Likewise with documentaries. The documentaries that work best are the ones that eschew a simple message for an odd angle. I found that one of the most spectacular films about the Middle East was 'Waltz With Bashir,' or 'The Gatekeepers,' or '5 Broken Cameras.'

Alex Gibney

You can do a good job when you play it safe, but you can't do a spectacular job. You have to risk it and be in danger of looking like an absolute fool.

Alex Sharp

Chess is changing. I hope chess is getting more popular, more spectacular.

Alexandra Kosteniuk

Lowbrow ingredients don't equal inexpensive or not tasty food. In fact, it requires even more skill to make something simple into something spectacular.

Alvin Leung

There are a lot of bands and performers whose careers are permanently derailed by spectacularly bad management.

Amanda Marshall

Three key elements triggered NDA's spectacular 2014 election victory - taking development and prosperity to the lowest rung of society, eradication of corruption, and ensuring transparency and ease of doing business.

Amit Shah

My father would have been spectacularly ill-suited to working for an institution of any kind, and I suspect that, to a lesser degree, that's true of me, too.

Amy Bloom

I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.

Amy Winehouse

Other tourists may remember London for its spectacular sights and history, but I remember it for Islam.

Andy Ngo

In 1972, I signed a union card for SEIU. And for the last 38 years, 14 as president, it's been my life. I've seen the most miraculous, spectacular things. But there's a time to learn, a time to lead and a time to leave.

Andy Stern

I think I'm okay at everything and not spectacular at any one thing that Kaggle does.

Anthony Goldbloom

The Rock is somebody that every kid in my era grew up watching. Legend. His success is not only in wrestling but what he's done after it has been spectacular.

Anthony Yarde

'Jurassic' is a legacy and a classic. Steven Spielberg created something pretty spectacular. It's actually really interesting, when I look at it, I ask, 'How has my life changed since being Lex?' And I can literally walk into just about any city in the world and people will know who I am.

Ariana Richards

When you do a movie as opposed to a TV show, it's always tempting to think everything has to be big and exaggerated and spectacular. And in fact, a lot of the funniest comedy films have been very intimate.
