Shark Week Night 2 Sneak Peek: An Evening of Firsts

yahoo

Shark Week continues Monday with three premieres: Shark Vortex, which explores how warmblooded makos, great whites, and porbeagles thrive in the waters of New England; Return to the Isle of Jaws, which makes a potential major discovery about great white behavior in Western Australia; and Alien Sharks: Stranger Fins, which searches for sawshark in the Bass Strait between Australia and Tasmania and the elusive goblin shark in Japan. It’s a night for serious Shark Week fans with discoveries, filming firsts, and fascinating species. Here’s a preview.

SHARK VORTEX (8 p.m. ET)

Dr. Greg Skomal and Joe Romeiro study the annual summer spectacle that occurs as the warmer Gulf Stream pushes into southern New England to meet the cooler Labrador Current and brings with it a multitude of shark species. As you see in the clip above, coldblooded blue sharks mingle with the warmblooded mako, the fastest shark species.

A First: The clip also shows the first time cameras have captured one mako biting another mako in the gills as a threat tactic. “A lot of the sharks we see, including makos, are scarred up. And we always attribute those scars to other sharks but we rarely, if ever, get to see those kinds of social interactions, where a shark basically says to another shark, ‘Get out of my way,'” Skomal tells Yahoo TV. “To actually see it happen is not only rewarding from a professional point of view, but also a little but sketchy when you’re in the water with one of these things saying, ‘Wow, at any moment, this powerful creature could bite me.’ It doesn’t happen, but I’ll tell you it’s a little unnerving.”

For Science: The hour focuses on makos, great whites, and porbeagles because their physiology is unique in that it adapts well to cold-water environments, warming their organs so they can maintain their speed and agility and make decisions quickly — all crucial to survival. Most Shark Week fans will never have heard of the porbeagle, which makes its home in the Gulf of Maine. As Skomal says, it looks like a cross between a great white and a mako, and it’s referred to as a ghost shark in the film because so little is known about the elusive species. Skomal and Romeiro team with Dr. James Sulikowski, a marine biologist at the University of New England who works with porbeagles, to try to find one and tag it. “I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t think we were gonna catch one, and there’s nothing more frustrating than being totally prepared to study a species and not being able to find it,” Skomal says. “The more we know about the porbeagle, the better equipped we are to protect them, whether it’s closing an area because it’s a nursery, or it’s modifying the behavior of fishermen in some way so they don’t use gear that’s gonna impact them. Whatever it is, we can’t come up those solutions unless we can define how this animal lives and where it goes. This is the first step to doing that. I think that’s what it’s all about.”

Don’t Miss Moment: Skomal has helped identify more than 280 great whites, but it turns out one — which he’s named Berly and finally gets to tag — holds a special place in his heart. “She’s a big, mature female, and for me, if I want to know where big girls go to give birth to their young, or to mate with big boys, I need to track them, and Berly became an obsession because she’s been elusive. She plays hard to get with me. She only shows up every couple of years, and she’s really an attractive, big, dominant female, and it’s kind of a personal story as much as it is a professional one,” Skomal says. “One of the things that most people don’t realize is that Berly is my wife’s nickname as well. And so Joe and I had an inside joke going during the show about Berly and my hot pursuit of her, as it was also the case when I pursued my wife. Her real name is Kimberly, and I kept calling her Kim early on in our relationship, and she says, ‘You know, I don’t like the short name Kim.’ So I said, ‘All right, I’ll call you the rest of it, Berly.’ But she doesn’t know that this is a big part of the film, so it’s gonna be interesting when I sit and watch it with her and she hears her nickname being screamed all over the camera.”

Return to the Isle of Jaws (9 p.m.)

It’s the follow-up to the 2016 special that followed renown shark cinematographer Andy Casagrande as he explored a newly discovered great white hot spot — and saw males only. As you see in the clip above, when he returns at the same time of year, it’s still a boys club.

Andy Casgrande filming “the brothers” (Credit: Discovery)

A First: What Casagrande wasn’t expecting to find, however, was two great whites that looked like brothers swimming together. “I was just like, ‘Oh, my god. Am I seeing this properly?’ They don’t leave each other’s side. They disappear down a ledge, they come back. They’re turning at the same time. They’re respectful of each other where they give each other distance, but they’re still staying in formation. It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve seen out of all my years of Shark Week,” Casagrande says. “People don’t really realize white sharks can have up to 14 pups in their belly. If I were born with 13 siblings, I’d probably hang out with them at least for the first couple years, just because safety in numbers. It sort of flips what we think about sharks on its head, because most people don’t think there’s any sort of maternal or paternal instinct or anything remotely cuddly about sharks. If we’re correct, it’s a breakthrough that white sharks develop relationships among family members — or at least these guys did. And no one’s ever even considered that.” He hopes to return to study “the brothers” more, including a DNA test.

The Danger Zone: Casagrande and conservationist Paul de Gelder find themselves in some trouble when the motorized cage they’re diving in (which was nicknamed The Widowmaker off-camera) gets stuck on the rocks in the shallows. “We’d been able to take it down to the bottom, down to 7,800 feet deep, interact with the sharks, get out of the cage, swim with them, and they love this thing — they like to chew it, they like to interact with it,” Casagrande says. “But Paul and I got a little too infatuated with the seals and looking into where the white sharks could potentially be hunting, and we got into shallow water and got smashed up into the rocks. I always find with Paul de Gelder I’m always in very close to near-death situations for some reason, but we’re always having a great time, which is, I guess, why Paul and I are such good mates.”

Was the situation as bad as it looks? “It was way more scary than it looks, to be honest,” de Gelder says. “They didn’t show much of the footage where Andy and I were trying to drag it off the rocks by ourselves. We were wedged between the cage and a huge boulder, and the waves crashing over it almost squashed us. But we eventually just had to call it a day and say, ‘We can’t do this,’ and come back later with the crew.”

Alien Sharks: Stranger Fins (10 p.m.)

The popular Alien Sharks franchise returns with Dr. Craig O’Connell on the sawshark mission in the Bass Strait, and Dr. David Ebert and marine biologist Victoria Elena Vasquez hitching a ride with a local fisherman in Tokyo Bay, hoping that his net will pull up a live goblin shark from the deep-sea canyon.

A First: After a long wait (during which they spot many other species of “alien sharks”), Ebert, Vasquez, and local goblin shark expert Dr. Kazuhiro Nakaya finally become the first team to tag and release a healthy goblin. “Tagging a goblin shark may not just be representative of what it’s like to be a goblin shark, it might also clue us in to life in the deep sea and how other deep-sea sharks utilize that area,” Vasquez says. “That’s the fun thing about being a pioneer on a certain aspect of research, what you learn could be applicable to other things.”

yahoo

Don’t Miss Moment: The goblin shark has the fastest bite ever recorded, at .16 seconds, which the team — and viewers — get to witness on deck. “It is awesome on a lot of different levels. One, it was reinforcement that the protocol that we had on the boat was working, that these animals were healthy and vigorous [after being caught], because they’re exerting that sort of behavior,” Vasquez says. “It was a really nice moment to be able to share that with Dr. Nakaya because he had only seen video up to that point, and we all got to experience seeing a goblin shark protrude its jaws in real-time together. It was just surreal.”

History May Repeat Itself: Two years ago, Vasquez and Dr. Ebert discovered a new species of lantern shark, which Vasquez’s young cousins helped name the ninja lantern shark because of its uniform jet-black coloring and the spines on its dorsal fin resembling a ninja star. This trip, they may have found another new lantern species. “There’s still a lot of work to go into that, genetic analysis and comparison,” Vasquez says. “We think it’s a new species, but we’re just being very careful as we’re looking over data to make sure that we have made the correct assessment.”

yahoo

For Science: Vasquez says her professor used to joke that she was his “problem child” because she wanted to study white sharks. But when she told him it was because she was really interested in the science of sharks, something clicked. “He was like, ‘If you think white sharks are cool for what they’re capable of doing, then learn about these other sharks. And if you still want to study white sharks, maybe we can talk about that, but tell me why these other sharks aren’t just as interesting.’ That’s why I fell in love with these other sharks, because of the diversity,” she says. “You wouldn’t talk about mammals in this huge generalization, because besides the fact that mammals include ourselves, you would never put a mouse and an elephant in the same category. So when we think about an intimidating great white shark, that doesn’t represent all species. There’s a species called a shyshark, because when it gets scared it covers its eyes with its tail fin, which is really adorable. … I’m not sure many people know about glowing sharks, or the fact that some of them have these chainsaws on their faces like the sawshark. I always kind of joke that great white sharks are the gateway shark. If you’re really interested in sharks, it’s a great one to start with, but there’s just so much more out there. I think that was the point my professor was trying to make to me, and it really stuck because when I get to share information about lesser-known species with people, they get really excited, because there’s just so much out there to learn and discover. We’re still discovering new species every year. We always like to say, ‘Alien sharks need love, too,’ so the more people can support them is great. And if they’re trying to figure out how, the easiest thing you can do is talk about them. People can start learning about something that’s not a great white, and that’s a wonderful start.”

To be honest, I just don’t have the motivation to see any more movies from 2016 anytime soon. I know I missed out on a lot, but I’m really looking forward to checking out some older movies as soon as I can. So, with the Oscars coming up tomorrow, here are my top 10 films of 2016: 10. Captain America Civil War: If The Dark Knight is the pinnacle of crafting a masterpiece with a comic book source material, Civil War is the pinnacle of representing the medium of comic books. The best film in the MCU since Winter Soldier, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The action was great, the characters were entertaining, and the film is so remarkably reminiscent of a comic book in the best possible way. By no means the masterpiece that The Dark Knight is, I still had a lot of fun with this movie. 9. Deadpool: With the major influx of comic book films, many of which were filled to the brim with disappointment, it’s nice to see Deadpool try something new for a change. It was an exceedingly funny movie with great action sequences and a decent satire of the medium of comic book films as a whole. Yes, it falls under a lot of those same tropes, but at no point did that take me out of the movie. Despite being a bit overrated, I genuinely recommend it. 8. The Lobster: Probably one of the most original and strange screenplays to find a mainstream audience in a while. I really loved The Lobster’s deadpan humor and overall delivery of its message. Despite its seemingly flat Story and characters, the film is not without its moments of genuine emotion and disturbing undertones that left me genuinely invested in what was going on. It’s weird, it’s different, it’s very funny, and it's my #8 pick. 7. The Conjuring 2: As someone who did not think too highly of the first film, I did not expect too much going into this. But my God, I was blown away with what I got. Not to say this film is some profound masterpiece of horror like The Shining or Rosemary's Baby, but that's not what it's trying to be. It knows exactly what it is, a simple ghost story, and it excels at that. Every moment of suspense is well earned, and the characters are incredibly likable, a feat that most modern day horror films seem to forget. I was incredibly entertained throughout the entire runtime of this film, and I am more than glad I saw it. 6. Arrival: Once again Denis Villeneuve brings us another fantastic film, and behind Enemy this one may be my favorite by him. The recent trend of vapid and uninteresting science fiction films has come to a halt, as Arrival is genuinely a great movie. I have a hard time describing what I love about this movie without spoiling it, and while it is far from a perfect movie, it is definitely an exceptional one that I do recommend. The less you know about this film going into it, the better. 5. La La Land: Only someone like Damien Chazelle can get me excited for a modern day musical, and my god did he ever deliver the goods on this one. Though not quite as fantastic as Whiplash, La La Land is still an invigorating and consistently entertaining film with incredible music and production design. I absolutely love the story and characters, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are immaculate in the film. I really love this movie, I might actually see it again before it leaves theaters. It's old fashioned style is so perfectly realized in this film that there were times where I thought I was watching this film via 35mm projector, it's that perfect. Can't wait to pick it up on Blu Ray, I'm positive that La La Land will go down in history as one of the greatest musicals ever made. It's actually kind of incredible that it took this long for a musical this perfect to come out. My God, this film is something special. 4. The Witch: One of the more excellent horror films to come out in recent memory, The Witch is a movie with massive replay value and a uniquely fascinating style. One may think that the descent into madness Story has run its course throughout cinema, but The Witch proves that there is still so much more than can be done with it. Perfectly blending reality and surreality, tied together by bleached out cinematography to give the film it's dower and depressing tone, it's hard to believe that this was helmed by a first time filmmaker. 3. Elle: Paul Verhoeven continues to impress with this thoughtful, disturbing, and surprisingly humorous character study. After a 16 year hiatus, Verhoeven delivers a film so bold and original that it is just as good, if not better, than his excellent work on Starship Troopers. Despite its horrifying and downright disgusting and outlandish implications, the film presents itself in a very grounded and realistic way, which is a new area for Verhoeven's style of filmnaking and it surprisingly worked exceedingly well. Not for the faint of heart, but if you can stomach some absolutely fucked up Shit, then I can't recommend Elle enough. 2. The Nice Guys: I am in awe at how fantastic this film is. In this age of vapid and uninteresting comedies flooding the mainstream, as well as taking a genre that has never been anything more than slightly above average in any movie that has tackled it before, The Nice Guys is something to be treasured. I never thought a buddy cop film paying homage to 1970's filmmaking could be this funny, this well written, and work so incredibly well as a stand alone film, but here we are. Shane Black tops his work on Lethal Weapon to an extent I did not think possible. Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe have tremendous chemistry together on screen, and just about every joke hits. Atmospherically this film works so well simply for how fun it is. This is an original film with great characters, and it deserves a sequel. If you didn't see this one in theaters, please, spend money to see it. Watch it on demand, or better yet buy it on Blu Ray, tell studios that this is the kind of film Hollywood should be producing. It's not too late to turn this into a much needed franchise. 1. The Neon Demon: Well, here we are. My number one pick, my absolute favorite film of the year. Nicholas Winding Refn is a director I have some pretty mixed feelings on. While I absolutely loved Drive and Bronson, I was not a huge fan of Only God Forgives, and I have a feeling I wouldn't take too kindly to Valhalla Rising either. But The Neon Demon was special in that it did something I never thought could be done: it made style over substance filmmaking work. Is it a gorgeously vibrant film that has an outlandish story with flat characters and incredibly obvious symbolism/statements? Yes. Yes it absolutely is. So then, why does it work so well? Because the film is about vanity, the very definition of style over substance. See, a films style should be something that compliments the overall themes and tones of the rest of the film. A Clockwork Orange is very expressive, gritty, claustrophobic and colorful because that highlights everything the film is saying. The Neon Demon gives off the illusion that it's style and substance are two completely different beasts, when in reality they harmonize perfectly. Still, it remains a thoughtful and challenging film in its ambiguities as to whether vanity is even a bad thing at all, and who are we to deny that it resides within us all? I absolutely loved everything about this film. The cinematography is consistently beautiful and interesting, and it perfectly works to propel the plot through immaculate visual storytelling. The score by Cliff Martinez is also very exceptional, and the acting for this style of experimental filmmaking is incredibly well realized. The Neon Demon is like the love child of Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch, and still it has it remains purely a Nicholas Winding Refn film. This film has ensured that I will be keeping a watchful eye on Refn's future films, and I can't wait to see what he has to offer in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if 20 years from now, people look back at this film as something of a misunderstood masterpiece. If not, I at least have confidence in saying that I loved the hell out of it.

I’m not trying to bust you over the head and make you buy this record or this song or whatever. I’m presenting it to you so you can take it in. You know, it’s like trying to force a kid to eat broccoli. If I present it as trees that make your muscles grow, my son is like, ‘I’m down with getting muscles.’ – Jill Scott • I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the level of success I’ve had. I was just writing stories for my own sons. – Rick Riordan • I gave birth to my first son in April 1986.

I had just shot the ‘Sports Illustrated’ swimsuit issue, so I was in great shape. – Kim Alexis • I had forgotten how thrilling a snow day is until my son started school, and as much as he loves it, he swoons at the idea of a free day arriving unexpectedly, laid out like a gift. – Susan Orlean • I had the experience last year of directing my first feature while I had a 1-year-old son and while I was also pregnant, so I am now well aware of the difficulties women who are rearing children face when they’re also trying to make headway in mainstream of film. – Diablo Cody • I happen to have the benefit of having a son-in-law who was the former Mr. France and a trainer. I like being his benefactor and I like the way he works. – Suzanne Somers • I have hair that I audition with, my sitcom hair which is a curly wig. I have my long chic hair that I wear to my son’s school so they know I’m not playing around. I always tell people that my husband gets a different woman every night when I come home from ‘The View.’ Hair makes you feel a certain way, like putting a power suit on. – Sherri Shepherd • I have one son. Of everything I’ve done in my life, nothing matches the feeling of having life growing inside you. – Barbra Streisand • I have pictures of me sitting in the racquetball court in my pajamas with an acoustic guitar, and Wolfgang is probably just two-and-a-half-feet tall. I’ll never forget the day I saw his foot tapping along in beat! I knew then, I couldn’t wait for the day I’d be able to make music with my son. I don’t know what more I could ask for. – Eddie Van Halen • I have two lovely sons and some good memories, but I’ve had a rather tumultuous personal life. It hasn’t been dull; I’ve been the Hiroshima of love. – Sylvester Stallone • I have two sons, ages 23 and 25, and know that parents need to listen more and speak less. Young people today don’t always know what’s going on or how they fit in, and if someone walks up to them and says, ‘Hey, kid: If you listen to me I’ll give you power and a sense of purpose,’ it can hold tremendous appeal. – Christian Picciolini • I just want to be able to keep my house and pay for my son’s school tuition in Los Angeles. – Diablo Cody • I know children regress after vaccination because it happened to my own son. Why aren’t there any tests out there on the safety of how vaccines are administered in the real world, six at a time? Why have only two of the 36 shots our kids receive been looked at for their relationship to autism? – Jenny McCarthy • I know I did the right thing by taking time off to raise my son. But it also came at a price. I turned down many opportunities over the years because I didn’t want to leave him for long periods of time. And in Hollywood, as in any business, the calls stop coming when you don’t answer. – Arsenio Hall • I know what God did for me. I know that He is my way out and my way in. He’s my way out of all this havoc and my way into paradise. He suffered for me and for everybody listening. God loves us so much. He tried a lot of things to get our attention. He tried a lot of things to get us back to Him. So He said, “I’ll tell you what. I’m going to make it real simple for you. I’m going to send my Son. He’s going to take on all your iniquities and all your sins. He’s gonna die in your place so you can have everlasting life. All you’ve got to do is accept that. – Smokey Robinson • I listen to music every day and that is a fact. My son pointed out the other day that there’s not a day that goes by without him listening to music in our house. I’m still an avid punter when it comes to either checking out bands or buying new music. – Jazzie B • I look and there’s our boy from Vietnam and our daughter from Ethiopia, and our girl was born in Namibia, and our son is from Cambodia, and they’re brothers and sisters, man. They’re brothers and sisters and it’s a sight for elation. – Brad Pitt • I look at my sons’ little faces, and I want to be their superhero. I don’t want them to have to look outside to a third party for a hero, for someone to look up to and admire. I want that to be ME. I want that person to be MOMMY for them. – Lashinda Demus • I love my kids, and the moments I have with them, and it’s kind of weird, it’s such an age old cliche, but the way that my sons, the way they make me feel when I look at them, the way they say things, no one else would probably react to them, but it’s a special thing for me. – Michael Rapaport • I love my son and am proud of my son. – Robert H. Schuller • I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship. – Harrison Ford • I loved it, it’s such fun. I like that people are seeing it and then talking about it. Like when I took my son and his friends to see Napoleon Dynamite last year, we spent the next six weeks trying to explain it. – Robert Downey, Jr. • I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. – John Adams • I named my new son James Joseph Brown II. I think he’s going to be a lot better than I was. – James Brown • I never saw my dad cry. My son saw me cry. My dad never told me he loved me, and consequently I told Scott I loved him every other minute. The point is, I’ll make less mistakes than my dad, my sons hopefully will make less mistakes than me, and their sons will make less mistakes than their dads. – James Caan • I often think about how my sons will come to know about September 11th. Something overheard? A newspaper image? In school? I would prefer that they learn about it from my wife and me, in a deliberate and safe way. But it’s hard to imagine ever feeling ready to broach the subject without some impetus. – Jonathan Safran Foer • I panicked when my son, Jett, stopped eating baby food. He’s only two but his food vocabulary is fantastic. He likes my baked tilapia and string beans with chopped garlic. But he really likes pizza. Sometimes every inanimate object to him is pizza. – Jill Scott • I really discovered I had thyroid disease by accident. My son was having some health concerns, and as I filled out his patient history I noticed I had a lot of similar symptoms. I mentioned it to the doctor, and he ran blood work and finally an ultrasound of my thyroid. – Kim Alexis • I remember when I came home from the hospital after having my son, I wore a Narciso Rodriguez black coat. Then, I was using this fragrance that I had created. I walk by that coat, and it still smells like that fragrance. It takes you right there. – Sarah Jessica Parker • I saw this film Moon, it’s directed by Duncan Jones, David Bowie’s son. Sam Rockwell plays this astronaut that is stuck in a space station on the moon. You just have to see it. It’s easy to do something really cheesy with sci-fi, and to do something that’s already been done, but I think the story was something I hadn’t heard before, so it was really great. – Kelcey Ayer • I take some pride in… representing myself exactly how I would like to have my son remember me to his kids. – Robert Downey, Jr. • I think if you’re the son or daughter of successful actors and actresses, it’s a double pressure. More is expected of you. – Liam Neeson • I think I’m lucky that I had kids as spread out as much as I did, ’cause my son, my oldest, was born when I was 21. And my youngest is 15 now. He was born when I was 40, you know? – Tom Hanks • I think it’s irresponsible when celebrities imply they’re doing it all themselves. My son has aunties and uncles around all the time, and my husband is my hero. He’s really full-on. I couldn’t do it any other way. – Alanis Morissette • I think these last 10 years have seen just a huge shift in the psyche of this country as regards gay people. I think AIDS had a lot to do with it. So many families who really believed they’d ‘never met one’ were suddenly confronted with their sons becoming ill, and friends of sons. I think that brought a lot of it into the open. – Janis Ian • I took my son’s name. I didn’t take my husband’s name. – Elizabeth Edwards • I truly have a village supporting me. My son has godmothers, godfathers, grandparents and so many others in his life who love him as much as I do. They’re there for both of us. I may not have a mate or husband, but I’m definitely not a single parent. – Jill Scott • I wanted to be a mechanic. When I was 14 I wanted to quit school and go work on my car. But my dad said Son, you shouldn’t do that. You should stay in school until your education is finished, and when you’re done, don’t make your hobby your job. – Eric Bana • I was 23 years old. It was a wild time. I was covering everything that blew up – blackouts, Studio 54, son of Sam killer, and all of that stuff. – John Tesh • I was a sort of son to Ike, and it was the other way round with Kennedy. – Harold MacMillan • I was born and trained to communicate music, just as the sons were born and trained to hunt, and I was lucky to have grown up in Hungary, a country that lives and breathes music-that has a passionate belief in the power of music as a celebration of life. – Georg Solti • I was terrified the first time that I had a big problem in my business. I was obviously terrified when they diagnosed me with cancer in 1994. I was terrified when my son used to drive too fast. But I do believe in the fact that fear is not an option, so I always try to face it and not be afraid. – Diane von Furstenberg • I work at home, in the country, and days will go by when, except for my husband and son and the occasional UPS man, the only sentient creatures that see me are my chickens and turkeys. – Susan Orlean • I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar. – Andrew Carnegie • I would like to be on the farm. To ride the horses. To watch the cattle, and the plantations, and the beautiful vegetables that my sons are growing there. I would like it. I am one of those who do not have to worry about what I am doing later. I love the fields. – Ariel Sharon • I’d been a housewife and mother to our son Thomas Jefferson, and I was looking for a new career. So when my agent called and said a producer named Paul Elliott from E&B productions, the biggest panto company in the country at the time, wanted to meet me I agreed. – Britt Ekland • I’d just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead. – Moby • If my kids came to me and said, ‘I’m gay,’ I’d say, ‘Son, I love you.’ That’s never at stake. Never, never, never at stake. – Kirk Cameron • If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons. – James A. Baldwin • If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming you. The world will be yours and everything in it, what’s more, you’ll be a man, my son. – Rudyard Kipling • If you’re feeling alone, and your weariness has grown, look up above, and thank God for His love. There’s nothing you can do, to change His love for you; hold on friend, it’s not the end. Something beautiful will come, the clouds will part for the sun, the skies will break for the Son, and the Father will say ‘Well done.’ But until then, until then, you’re not alone. He can make bread from stone. Hold on to Him, and He’ll hold on to you. Take one day at a time, pray for faith and be kind, and when forgetful becomes your mind, remember what He said, ‘You are mine.’ – Nick Vujicic • If you’re going to tear down a hero, you should never forget that you’re tearing down someone else’s hero. You’re tearing down somebody else’s son. You might have to face her one day. – Kevin Costner • I’m a smart girl. There are decisions that I make for reasons, and the most important thing is that my son is happy and he always will be. He’s surrounded by love. – Christina Aguilera • I’m a strange mixture of my mother’s curiosity; my father, who grew up the son of the manse in a Presbyterian family, who had a tremendous sense of duty and responsibility; and my mother’s father, who was always in trouble with gambling debts. – Rupert Murdoch • I’m convinced that Sanford and Son shows middle-class America a lot of what they need to know. – Redd Foxx • I’m just one of many moms who will say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm’s way. – Sarah Palin • I’m not an analyzer. I’ve got a son that analyzes everything and everybody. But I don’t analyze people. – Billy Graham • I’m so centered in feeling great about me that I can give great things to my son and my husband and my family. – Celine Dion • In Korea, it’s a tradition to inherit your father’s business. Unfortunately, I’m the only son in the entire family, so they were forcing too much. – PSY • In this movie, you have all the things you love from Tim. All the magic and the whimsy and the surreal, but he also has a fantastic story of a father and son that really gets under your skin. – Danny DeVito • It has never made any sense to argue that, unique among the people of the world, Arabs are more concerned on a day-to-day basis about the treatment of people they don’t know than they are about how they’re going to put food on their own tables, or whether their sons will ever find a job. – John Podhoretz • It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way, that is being drunk and being the father of their son. – Gertrude Stein • It is no secret that I believe my son, Attorney General Beau Biden, would make a great United States senator – just as I believe he has been a great attorney general. But Beau has made it clear from the moment he entered public life, that any office he sought, he would earn on his own. – Joe Biden • It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons. – Friedrich Schiller • It is what the poets of Ireland used to be saying, that every brave man, good at fighting, and every man that could do great deeds and not be making much talk about them, was of the Sons of the Gael; and that every skilled man that had music and that did enchantments secretly, was of the Tuatha de Danaan. – Lady Gregory • It was at Inver Slane, to the north of Leinster, the sons of Gaedhal of the Shining Armour, the Very Gentle, that were called afterwards the Sons of the Gael, made their first attempt to land in Ireland to avenge Ith, one of their race that had come there one time and had met with his death. – Lady Gregory • It was on my fifth birthday that Papa put his hand on my shoulder and said, ‘Remember, my son, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.’ – Sam Levenson • It’s hard to kill that father-son bond. – Adam Driver • It’s much worse to read criticism about your son than yourself. – George H. W. Bush • It’s particularly important as parents in our conversations with our daughters and our sons to consider ideas intimate justice when we talk about and set them going on their early formative experience. – Peggy Orenstein • I’ve been very, very lucky in my career, in my life – from day one. When aspiring directors say, ‘what’s your advice?’ first I say, ‘be born the son of a famous director. It’s invaluable.’ – Jason Reitman • I’ve lost touch with a lot of that boutique-type music just because of my age, and raising my son and the multiple jobs I have at this point. – Liz Phair • I’ve started looking at my own father a bit funny. He assures me, though, that I really am the son of a Scottish postman. – Craig Ferguson • I’ve taken salsa classes. I love dancing and I love to karaoke. So I bought a microphone with some tapes and my son and I karaoke. I know the entire ‘Dora the Explorer’ soundtrack. – Sherri Shepherd • Joanna points her camera at a section of society unused to having cameras pointed at it. But I don’t know about categorising them in terms of class; I’m a bit wary of that. My dad is the son of a shipbuilder. – Tom Hiddleston • Let France have good mothers, and she will have good sons. – Napoleon Bonaparte • Losing hope means ceasing to love my son and my girlfriend and many friends and people around the world. We in Iraq have not descended from another planet. Just as people in many other countries have gotten over the tragedy of war, Iraq will get over its ordeal. I’m talking about the essence of humanity. Hope is mixed into the blood of every human being, everywhere and in every time. – Hassan Blasim • Make no mistake: Bob Ritchie’s up early in the morning taking pictures of his son on the first day of his senior year. Kid Rock is passed out in a hotel room somewhere with four scantily-clad women. – Kid Rock • Mom put a note in my lunch again, I see… Dear son, I hope you will study hard in summer school… Do not look upon it as a punishment, but rather as a privilege… We are very proud of you, and want you to have a good education. This note will self-destruct in five seconds. – Charles M. Schulz • Mom spent the time that she was supposed to be a kid actully raising children, her younger brother and younger sister. She was tough as nails and did not suffer fools at all. And the truth was she could not afford to. She spoke the truth, bluntly, directly, and without much varnish. I am her son. – Chris Christie • More than anything, it’s my son’s smile and love that makes me light up! – Amber Valletta • Most people define themselves by what they do – ‘I’m a musician.’ Then one day it occurred to me that I’m only a musician when I’m playing music – or writing music, or talking about music. I don’t do that 24 hours a day. I’m also a father, a son, a husband, a citizen – I mean, when I go to vote, I’m not thinking of myself as ‘a musician.’ – Herbie Hancock • Mumford & Sons’ music appeals to a lot of America. I’m really proud of them. – Ellie Goulding • My affection for Taiwan… is witnessed by everyone. My wife is Taiwanese and I am a son-in-law of Taiwan. I am half Taiwanese. – Jackie Chan • My book ‘Trust Your Heart’, which is the story of my life, will be followed by ‘Singing Lessons’, a memoir of love, loss, hope, and healing, which talks about the death of my son and the hope that has been the aftermath of the healing from that tragedy. – Judy Collins • My father was against the death penalty, and that was hard in the Son of Sam summer when fear was driving the desire for the death penalty. – Andrew Cuomo • My father was the son of immigrants, and he grew up bilingual, but English is what my father taught me and what he spoke to me. America’s strength is not our diversity; it is our ability to unite around common principles even when we come from different backgrounds. – Ernest Istook • ‘My Father’s Eyes’ is very personal. I realized that the closest I ever came to looking in my father’s eyes was when I looked into my son’s eyes. – Eric Clapton • My first name, Benjamin, dates back a thousand years earlier to Benjamin – Binyamin – the son of Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Jacob and his 12 sons roamed these same hills of Judea and Samaria 4,000 years ago, and there’s been a continuous Jewish presence in the land ever since. – Benjamin Netanyahu • My mother had a son from previous marriage and her husband died in Second World War. – Mikhail Baryshnikov • My NFL pension can barely pay my son’s tuition. You know, it’s very little money. – O. J. Simpson • My number one goal is to love, support and be there for my son. – Farrah Fawcett • My priority is my son and my husband, and I have a lot of spinning plates, so I try to make sure they’re not one of them. – Sherri Shepherd • My son Barry, of course, has been on from the beginning. And his son Shane is playing now a med student regularly on the show. And at one point or another, I’ve had all four of his kids on the show. – Dick Van Dyke • My son complains about headaches. I tell him all the time, when you get out of bed, it’s feet first! – Henny Youngman • My son doesn’t know how flawed I am, how flawed we are. He still likes us so much, and that’s so incredible to be around. – Sarah Jessica Parker • My son had toyed with the idea of writing and trying to write a little bit, so that kind of gave me the bug to write also. – George Strait • My son is actually named after Beck, the musician. We heard Beck on the radio and thought that was a good nickname for a child. We named our son Beckett so we could call him Beck – we reverse engineered. And then after he was born and I saw the name on the birth certificate I realized Beckett was a really pretentious name, way too literary. Luckily he’s grown into it. We nearly named my second son Dashiell. Can you imagine? Beckett and Dashiell. It would have been a disaster of pretentiousness. – Lauren Groff • My son is healthy and happy, so that’s all that matters to me. – Christina Aguilera • My son is so fortunate, you know. He’s always going to have food. Yes, my children are going to be privileged, but that’s why it’s so important for them to see different realities and to travel, and they do already. – Gisele Bundchen • My son is trying to be a sports writer, and my daughter is a college student. She wants to be a comedy writer, and she’s at film school. I discouraged both of them early on from getting involved in Starbucks. I didn’t think it would be fair; plus, they didn’t have any interest anyway. – Howard Schultz • My son loves the Hotel du Cap, in the south of France. – Diane von Furstenberg • My son was diagnosed with autism. He’s OK, he makes eye contact, but he doesn’t talk. He needs eight hours a day of very intensive school, and you wouldn’t even believe me if I told you how much it costs. – Steve Earle • My son, George, has been a bad, bad boy! Right, George? – Barbara Bush • My son, Jett, is two, and when I was pregnant my nose got bigger, so I got a new one. Everything was bigger for a while after having Jet, but I knew I needed to be able to walk up my stairs without being winded. It took me two years to lose 60 lbs – lots of walking, bike-riding, kick-boxing and performing. – Jill Scott • My son, Wolfgang, plays drums, guitars and bass. – Eddie Van Halen

• My younger son, Cordell, aka Lil Snoop, loves me like a fan loves Snoop Dogg. He’s inspired by making me happy. My older son, Corde, aka Spank, does everything I say, with effort and determination – but he does it for himself. He gets his thrill out of seeing his own results on the football field. – Snoop Dogg • Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him, for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low, could still be saved; the bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again be your friend; love that has grown cold can kindle. – Soren Kierkegaard • Never fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him. – George Bernard Shaw • No love is greater than that of a father for His son. – Dan Brown • No matter where I go or what title I may achieve, I will always be the son of exiles. – Marco Rubio • No mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology. – Ronald Reagan • Oh, there’s all these rumors that I’m a lesbian. I have a boyfriend now, Brandon Blackstock; my manager Narvel’s son, Reba McEntire’s stepson. – Kelly Clarkson • One father is enough to govern one hundred sons, but not a hundred sons one father. – George Herbert • One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding? – James Caan • Our most bitter enemies are our own kith and kin. Kings have no brothers, no sons, no mother! – Honore de Balzac • Perhaps because my relationship with my father went through such a long, bumpy time, it’s been very important for me to work to try to keep lines of communication open between my sons and myself to try to avoid my father’s mistakes. At least if you’re making mistakes, make different mistakes. – Salman Rushdie • ‘Project Runway’ was my guilty pleasure while my son was napping or nursing. – Debra Messing • Racism isn’t born, folks, it’s taught. I have a two-year-old son. You know what he hates? Naps! End of list. – Denis Leary • Sin! Sin! Thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which God hates. And what wonder? Thou hast insulted His holy majesty; thou hast bereaved Him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the Son of His infinite love; thou hast vexed His gracious Spirit; thou hast defied His power; thou hast despised His grace; and in the body and blood of Jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot His matchless mercy. Surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate. – Thomas Guthrie • Since the beginning, a woman’s first and most important role has been ushering into mortality spirit sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven. – Ezra Taft Benson • Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars. – Victor Hugo • Son, we’d like to keep you around this season but we’re going to try and win a pennant. – Casey Stengel • Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers. – Aldous Huxley • Spiritual identity means we are not what we do or what people say about us. And we are not what we have. We are the beloved daughters and sons of God. – Henri Nouwen • That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story. Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples – where I’m pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping; The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons. We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised. At a time when nobody thought we’d ever see a new steel mill built in America, we took a chance and built one in a corn field in Indiana. – Mitt Romney • That strong mother doesn’t tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in. – Lauryn Hill • The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud. – Bob Uecker • The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching ‘The Simpsons,’ so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I’m not funny anymore. – Matt Groening • The coolest gift I’ve ever gotten from a fan was from the Franklin Mint. It was a knife, and it had a picture of General Wade Hampton, who my oldest son is named after. It’s a collector’s item and came with a case and a stand and everything. – Josh Turner • The father is always a Republican toward his son, and his mother’s always a Democrat. – Robert Frost • The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them. – Confucius • The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days. – Voltaire • The greatest gift that Oxford gives her sons is, I truly believe, a genial irreverence toward learning, and from that irreverence love may spring. – Robertson Davies • The monarchy that I hand over to my son is not going to be the same one that I have inherited. – Abdallah II • The most common trait of all primitive peoples is a reverence for the life-giving earth, and the Native American shared this elemental ethic: The land was alive to his loving touch, and he, its son, was brother to all creatures. – Stewart Udall • The only man who has stolen my heart is my son. – Sandra Bullock • The Seventh Day Adventist Church believes that it was specially chosen by God to prepare the world for the Second Coming of His Son Jesus. – Luke Ford • The sons of Judah have to choose that God may again choose them. The divine principle of our race is action, choice, resolved memory. – George Eliot • The sooner you treat your son as a man, the sooner he will be one. – John Dryden • The worst waste of breath, next to playing a saxophone, is advising a son – Kin Hubbard • There’s no political point worth my son’s life. – Joe Biden • Though I am not imperial, and though Elizabeth may not deserve it, the Queen of England will easily deserve to have an emperor’s son to marry. – Elizabeth I • To the families of special needs children all across this country I have a message for you: for years you have sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters, and I pledge to you that if we’re elected, you will have a friend, an advocate, in The White House. – Sarah Palin • Today, Arizona’s sons and daughters, mothers and fathers are proudly serving their country. – Jane D. Hull • We glorify the Holy Ghost together with the Father and the Son, from the conviction that He is not separated from the Divine Nature; for that which is foreign by nature does not share in the same honors. – Saint Basil • We often don’t think of them, we think of the great wars and the great battles, but what about losing a son or a daughter, or a girl losing her husband or vice versa? I think of the people who never got the chance to have the opportunities I had. – Tony Curtis • We think our fathers fools, so wise we grow. Our wiser sons, no doubt will think us so. – Alexander Pope • Well the beauty of ‘Iyanla: Fix My Life’ is that men are in every show. To our surprise, some of the deepest healing demonstrations have been with the men – the sons, the fathers, the husbands – because they agree to participate with the wife or the daughter or whatever it is we are looking at, and it is there. – Iyanla Vanzant • We’re all sons and daughters of God, and therefore in a very literal sense, brothers and sisters. And we ought to treat each other that way. – Gordon B. Hinckley • We’ve begun to raise daughters more like sons… but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters. – Gloria Steinem • What I did was take the Jesus of the Gospels, the Son of God, the Son of the Virgin Mary, and sought to make Him utterly believable, a vital breathing character. – Anne Rice • What I wish is that people would look beyond the tribbles and see I’ve written some other books that I really would like people to notice. There’s The Man Who Folded Himself, there’s The Martian Child, which is about my son and the adoption. There’s The War Against The Chtorr, which is my magnum opus, my great epic story. – David Gerrold • What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father. – Friedrich Nietzsche • What with making their way and enjoying what they have won, heroes have no time to think. But the sons of heroes – ah, they have all the necessary leisure. – Aldous Huxley • When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry. – William Shakespeare • When I auditioned for my high school band the band director was excited because my father was known to be a great musician. When he heard me, he said ‘Are you sure you’re Ellis’s son?’ – Wynton Marsalis • When I hear Mitt Romney say that he believes that Jesus is the Son of God, that He’s the Christ, raised from the dead, that He’s his savior – that’s good enough for me. – Joel Osteen • When I started, with films like ‘The Bay Boy’ and ‘Stand by Me’, I look back on those interviews and I’m amazed; there’s no mention of my father; it’s not even ‘son of Donald Sutherland.’ I caught a bit of a break in that it never felt like a weight to me. – Kiefer Sutherland • When I was working a lot, I felt guilty as a parent. I couldn’t pick up my son every day from school, bake him cookies and that kind of thing. – Barbra Streisand • When my son was born, and after a day of lying-in I was told that I could leave the hospital and take him home, I burst into tears. It wasn’t the emotion of the moment: it was shock and horror. – Susan Orlean • When we adopt—and when we encourage a culture of adoption in our churches and communities—we’re picturing something that’s true about our God. We, like Jesus, see what our Father is doing and do likewise (John 5:19). And what our Father is doing, it turns out, is fighting for orphans, making them sons and daughters. – Russell D. Moore • When you become an instrument in God’s hands as He transfers someone from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of His Son, you make a difference in the person’s eternal destiny. Not only that, but Satan also receives a devastating blow. – Charles Stanley • With a goose-quill and a few sheets of paper, I mock myself of the universe. They say I am the son of a courtesan; it may be so, but I have the heart of a King. I live free, I enjoy myself, I can call myself happy. – Pietro Aretino • With sons and fathers, there’s an inexplicable connection and imprint that your father leaves on you. – Brad Pitt • Without a doubt, Ozzy is the craziest person I’ve ever met. Son of Sam is a close second. – Geezer Butler • Women and LBGT people have the advantage that they are everybody’s son, daughter, cousin, nephew, aunt, uncle. They are in a position to change hearts, and you saw it happen actually. African-Americans, not so much. They are separated from the white oppressive population by geography, housing, segregation, centuries of slavery. There is a tremendous wall between black America and white. I would say you open the door with the force of law, and then you can start to change hearts. – Linda Hirshman • You can love someone like your son, even if he’s not your biological son, and you can love someone like your father, even if he’s not your biological father. – Oliver Hudson • You don’t raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes. – Wally Schirra • You know what has made me the happiest I’ve ever been? Seeing my son and daughter graduate from college. More than wanting them to be educated, I wanted them to be nice people. To see that they have become both is just a wonderful thing. – Gil Scott-Heron • You must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen. – Jean-Paul Sartre • Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday. – Khalil Gibran • Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. – Khalil Gibran • Your son at five is your master, at ten your slave, at fifteen your double, and after that, your friend or foe, depending on his bringing up. – Hasdai ibn Shaprut • Your sons weren’t made to like you. That’s what grandchildren are for. – Jane Smiley
