In those early days, the important thing was the happy ending. I did not tolerate unhappy endings - for my heroines, anyway.

Ansel Elgort
Bake Off' will be a hit in Channel 4 terms but I don't think it will ever reach the heights it has on the BBC just because it won't. I love the show I am a big fan of the show, I think it is great.
Ant McPartlin
Spatial racism, the erasure of black faces in a predominantly white city, is in full effect in both Crown Heights and Center City Philadelphia. This racism demands that bodies that don't conform to a mandated 'white' status quo can be redlined out of a space.

In 'The Big Chill,' those characters are in middle age, thinking, 'Oh, God, I've turned into my parents. I've failed.' And in 'Beside Still Waters,' we're showing the struggles of people who actually want to be like their parents and feel they can't live up to their heights.
When I was doing 'In the Heights,' I was the co-music supervisor for 'The Electric Company' on PBS, so I was writing songs all day, doing the show, staying up until 3 A. M. Writing more songs, recording demos in the intermission in my dressing room.
