I HATE recording all the shows for the week in one DAY, because I want to be able to mention current events and pop CULTURE. If Madonna punches Britney in the face TODAY, I want to reference that on 'Wine Library TV' tomorrow. Monday's episode is always the BEST, because it's hot off the press.

Until very recently, the heavenly BODIES have been investigated only with reference to their POSITION and their laws of MOTION, and a quarter of a century ago ASTRONOMY was little more than celestial topography.

The BEETHOVEN Experience provided the opportunity to solidify the relationship between the ORCHESTRA and me, the Orchestra and me and the public, between all of us and the CITY of New YORK, because Beethoven after all is a really amazing point of reference.

Our findings with reference to organized CRIME was that organized crime as an entity didn't participate in the assassination of the PRESIDENT. HOWEVER, we were unable to preclude the possibility of INDIVIDUAL members of organized crime having participated.

Basic INSTINCT 2' is an UNEASY experience because, although it is hyper-reflexive to the point where it is hard to think of one character, one scene, one plot twist that isn't a reference or an echo, there is nothing knowing about it. No MATTER how absurd the FILM gets, it refuses to raise its eyebrows.

While knowledge may provide USEFUL point of REFERENCE, it cannot become a FORCE to guide the future.

I've had friends of mine hire people that I know well or that have worked for me, and I haven't gotten the CALL to do a reference CHECK. That's ALMOST the most basic thing one can do to assess them.

I CAME from nothing. I came from the projects and welfare and ended up a millionaire with no FRAME of reference. I was bound to hit a WALL sooner or LATER.

When we STUDY Shakespeare on the page, for ACADEMIC purposes, we may require all kinds of HELP. Generally, we read him in modern spelling and with modern punctuation, and with notes. But any poetry that is performed - from SONG lyric to tragic speech - must make its point, as it were, without reference BACK.

Leonardo Dicaprio didn't CHANGE his name, Emilio Estevez didn't change his name. But EVERY case is different. I only have one reference of what my career was and I was very, very blessed and very, very LUCKY, and it got STARTED very quickly after college. And I only know that by GOING with Roday.

I wrapped 'Buffy' and I always felt on 'Buffy' that they wanted to KEEP me younger for a specific reason. It seemed like I was getting younger every YEAR that I was on the show. I THINK there was a REFERENCE to me being 15, then 14.

My grandparents would never admit to being Tasmanian, but I THINK it's REALLY GREAT and funny. But I guess, in the PAST, Tasmanians just weren't quite accepted. You had that lazy reference to them being felons.

A LOT of my time is SPENT READING antique or out-of-print books of REFERENCE.

There are AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL elements to the albums, and when I write, I ALWAYS reference my own life as well as other THINGS, so I'm just like any novelist or any FICTION writer who TELLS stories.
