Andrea Barrett
American Novelist
The thing I'm particularly interested in is natural history. In its heyday, the mid- and late-nineteenth century, when people were going out and gathering the first huge caches of data and trying to understand what was living and growing everywhere, there was such a sense of freshness to that pursuit. It's very exciting.
Quote examples
Debbie Millman
American Writer
Actually - and ironically - people aren't really interested in a new brand form or flavor as much as they are interested in how a brand can change, impact, or improve their lives. They want brands around them that make them feel special and provide some social cache or confidence.
Quote examples
Kurt Sutter
American Director
What happens on 'Mad Men' in terms of the acting and the writing and the directing, it's superior. And yes, it has tremendous cache and buzz because it's become iconic, but it also deserves all the kudos and the awards as well, because it's a beautiful show to look at.
Quote examples
Mariella Frostrup
British Journalist

Quote examples
Leigh Whannell
Australian Director
I feel like with the first 'Insidious' film we had a massive cache of stories and scares that we'd built up over the years. It was like a band, you know they say a band has forever to write their first album because no one cares.
Quote examples
Ato Essandoh
American Actor
It's not selling out, necessarily, to do something to gain some kind of notoriety that gives you the cache to do be able to go and do something else that you want. There's some dues that you just have to pay in life.
Quote examples
Ryan Kwanten
Australian Actor
The fact that 'True Blood' affects people in this way is incredible to me - the fact we have to go to such great lengths to hide storylines just proves the cache our show has.

Todd English
American Chef
Turkey, unlike chicken, has very elegant characteristics. It has more of a cache than chicken. Turkey is a delicacy, so it should be presented in such a way.

Ken Burns
American Director
History is malleable. A new cache of diaries can shed new light, and archeological evidence can challenge our popular assumptions.

Patton Oswalt
American Comedian
I never said that movies were struggling behind TV. I'm just saying that movies have a better creative cache.
