J. J. Abrams

One of my favorite things about 'Star Trek' wasn't just the overt banter but the humor in that show about the relationships between the main characters and their reactions to the situations they would face; there was a lot of comedy in that show without ever breaking its reality.

American Director

Emeril Lagasse

My inspiration was my mom. She's a great cook, and she still cooks, and we still banter back and forth about cooking. Growing up in a mostly Portuguese community, food was important and the family table was extremely important. At a very young age I understood that.

American Chef

Micah Richards

I loved the banter with the fans and the thought I was giving something back to the people who support me. But then you get people telling me to go and play for Africa. What do they mean by that? It's so narrow-minded and it's hard to take.

English Athlete

Jack Grealish

I actually don't mind a bit of football banter from opposing fans. In fact, I quite like getting hammered by supporters of other clubs. But it's when you get it from your own fans that it's not nice.

Dwight Gayle

It's always nice to have the young boys in; they give a little bit of banter. But it's important to have the older guys to settle things down when you're in sticky situations.

Albert Finney

I haven't seen the film yet because I just got in from London. In the scenes where the two characters are bantering with each other, it is like bobbing at the net in tennis.

British Actor

Geoff Stults

I wasn't a regular, avid 'Bones' fan, but I'd certainly seen it. I liked the banter; I liked the people and that world.

American Actor

Danny Welbeck

Sometimes things are said on the pitch that people won't see at home. There's a bit of banter on the pitch as well.

David Benioff

A certain luxury when you get to writing a novel is to have the space to have your characters just banter.

American Novelist

Karan Wahi

Having a co-host helps, because the humour comes through the banter you have with them.

Context Matters

 with a lot of conflict there's been a lot of insurgency in the last few decades in this part of the world funding is required to carry out insurgent activity you do need funding if you are you know buying ammunition if you're buying guns so maybe insurgents needed the banter raise to fund their activities
