Leon Panetta interview
In an interview with Charlie Rose, Panetta criticizes the President for not making earlier strides to fight Syria and act upon intelligence to thwart the ISIS threat.
Too often, in my view, the president relies on the logic of a law professor rather than the passion of a leader.
Discovery interview
Wallenda talks about Karl, and how his life and career provided inspiration for the rest of the family:
My great grandfather, Karl Wallenda, said life is on the wire, everything else is just waiting. And for our family, that’s true. He is the driving force behind our family. He always was…I’ve always though, How can I pay tribute to him, not to ever outshine him but to shine the light on what he did.
‘Ridiculous expectations’
Pike tells the print edition of Spectrum magazine that people expect too much from marriage:
People have ridiculous expectations of a mate. In my grandmother’s day, you wouldn’t expect your husband to fulfill the same need in you as your sister, or girlfriends, or colleagues at work. You’d have different needs met by different people. Now we want all our needs met by one person, and I don’t believe that’s possible. Or rather, it is, but I don’t think it’s universally achievable.
Huffington Post Interview
King shares his fear that the world is becoming more like George Orwell’s 1984 in an interview with The Huffington Post.
It’s tiring, to see the world looks more and more like George Orwell’s vision in 1984 where war is a constant thing… it’s just a little bit depressing.
Ring Rust Radio interview
Rose is a guest on Ring Rust Radio to discuss The Rosebuds and his quick start in WWE.
When Adam Rose finally did finally step foot within the WWE the whole point was to make an impact, to be different, and to bring something that has never been brought before. To bring the party to the WWE and that’s exactly what we’ve done with the Exotic Express of course, my party party full of all my happy Rosebuds who want nothing more than to have a good time.
NPR interview
Affleck gives an interview to NPR about going back in front of the camera after directing his own films. On Gone Girl:
The really liberating thing was … usually when you play a protagonist and you’re a lead in the movie there are sort of some unspoken rules. You know, you have to be a good person … And in this case, we weren’t encumbered by that at all. The whole idea of likability was sort of thrown out of the window.
Batman vs. Superman:
If I thought we were remaking Daredevil, I’d be out there picketing myself

Emma Thompson interview

Clegg statement
Clegg tweets statements:
Sincere condolences to Alan Henning’s family. Barbaric actions of ISIL are held in complete contempt. We are resolved to defeat this evil.
Alan Henning was a man moved to selflessly help those most in need and we should remember that above all else at this difficult time.
— Nick Clegg (@nickclegg) October 3, 2014
Cameron statement
Cameron releases a statement:
The brutal murder of Alan Henning by Isil shows just how barbaric and repulsive these terrorists are. My thoughts and prayers tonight are with Alan’s wife Barbara, their children and all those who loved him. Alan had gone to Syria to help get aid to people of all faiths in their hour of need. The fact that he was taken hostage when trying to help others and now murdered demonstrates that there are no limits to the depravity of these Isil terrorists. We will do all we can to hunt down these murderers and bring them to justice.
Foreign Office statement
The Foreign Office releases a statement:
We are aware of the video and are working urgently to verify the contents. If true, this is a further disgusting murder. We are offering the family every support possible; they ask to be left alone at this time.
EW interview
Pike is interviewed for Entertainment Weekly:
I wanted to be an actress since I was really, really small … Film wasn’t in my head; I didn’t see it as feasible. I just didn’t know anything about it. I didn’t know where film came from when I was under 10. I just thought I’d be a stage actress.
Evening Standard interview
Charli is interviewed for The Evening Standard:
I really just want to change the way women think about themselves. A lot of young girls are quite lost. I think it would be cool for women to feel like they connect to someone who is also a bit scruffy. I’m not clean-cut and perfect, I say dumb shit and I fall over — and I want girls to know that’s cool.
Billboard cover
Charli graces the cover and talks about
her plans to work with Rihanna and Gwen Stefani, writing angry music after I Love It charted and redecorating her country mansion in her spare time.
I’ve had to just make cutthroat decisions. I can’t f— around.
Parents criticize Columbia lack of action
Sulkowicz’s parents make a statement, supporting their daughter and criticizing what they see as Columbia’s lack of action:
If Columbia remains passive in the face of Emma’s suffering, and does not attempt to rectify the injustice done to her, survivors at Columbia will feel discouraged from entrusting themselves to the system that Columbia has recently worked so hard at putting into place.
Emma’s performance piece, “Carry That Weight,” has galvanized forces around the world for gender equality, sexual assault policy reform, and empowerment of the disenfranchised, and has received praise from the art world. Needless to say, we are proud…However, as Emma’s parents, we do not want her recent celebrity to be a distraction from the fact that the University’s failure to place sanctions on the man she reported for rape, Jean-Paul Nungesser, CC ’15, is a cause of her continued suffering. The investigation, hearing, and appeals process that followed her complaint to the University were painfully mishandled. We feel that they violated standards of impartiality, fairness, and serious attention to the facts of the case.
If Columbia does not act to expel him before then, their graduation will not relieve Columbia of the burden of this episode. Instead, in this important moment in the history of sexual assault on college campuses, Columbia will remain indelibly in the public mind as the university where good men and women did nothing.
Rosamund Pike interview
Schager interviews Pike for Esquire about her role in the film Gone Girl and the work the cast and crew put into the film.
It’s every single scene. Neil Patrick Harris and I would do 35 takes of getting in and out of a car to get the right level of smoothness and then, in fact, I think that scene’s never even in the movie. You do watch David’s films back, and having now worked with him, I watch them in a different way, because I can feel the careful labor that’s gone into them. I understand it. And with voice over, too. You watch Fight Club, and the reason that voice over bores into your skull is because it’s carefully, carefully constructed. When we were doing the voice over for Gone Girl, we’d go in and get the line just how we wanted it, and if we didn’t like a single word, we’d go in and make a puncture hole and insert a different version of a single word, to get every nuance we wanted to explore. I love working in that kind of detail. It’s really thrilling.
CNN interview
Paul discusses his views on same sex marriage in an interview with Peter Hamby of CNN during an appearance at the College of Charleston.
I don’t want my guns registered in Washington or my marriage. Founding Fathers all got married by going down to the local courthouse. It is a local issue and always has been. Society’s changing, I mean, people change their minds all the time on this issue, and even within the Republican Party, there are people whose child turns out to be gay and they’re like, oh well maybe I want to rethink this issue. So it’s been rethought. The President’s rethought the issue. So I mean, a lot of people have rethought the issue. The bottom line is, I’m old fashioned, I’m a traditionalist. I believe in old-fashioned traditional marriage. But, I don’t really think the government needs to be too involved with this, and I think that the Republican Party can have people on both sides of the issue.
Slam! Wrestling interview
Natalya talks to Slam! Wrestling about the McMahon family and giving wrestling everything she has.
It’s so great to say, ‘No matter what I’m given, I’m going to make it great.’ I’m going to pass gas, maybe I had too many protein bars that morning. I’m sorry, but as a Diva, I’m going to eat a lot of protein, and if I’m going to do that, then I’m going to look like a rockstar doing that, dressed to the nines in vintage couture and I’m going to make it gold.
MMANews.com interview
Ross talks to MMANews.com about NJPW, Global Force Wrestling and life after leaving WWE.
I’m doing my podcast, I’m in entrepreneurial mode right now. I don’t do a lot of things that conflict with OU football, but I’m doing my podcast, it’s doing really well. We manage about half a million downloads per week and it’s growing. I’m in the process of working on my autobiography, that should be done by spring or summer 2015. I’m doing some writing for FOX, we’re talking to FOX about maybe doing some more boxing play-by-play, which I had fun doing, I’m a big boxing fan. My point is, if I like projects
Camilla Luddington interview
Luddington returns as a guest on Conan to talk about her overly critical father, her horrific film audition, and the poor British reception of her Lifetime movie, William and Kate.
We don’t have Lifetime in England, so they don’t understand that Lifetime movies are cheesy and a guilty pleasure. In England, I was screwed with the reviews before it came out and they were like “What?” – including my family.
