The idea behind it did come out of my love for travel shows. I loved them as a little kid and I loved Anthony Bourdain, but I really did want to see one about LGBTQ communities and culture and the specific country that we visit. Of course it is about the joys and the triumphs and the nightlife, but sadly, unfortunately, it's also about the discrimination that people face, because that's the reality.

The idea behind fast food is great -- people want convenience.

The idea behind digital computers may be explained by saying that these machines are intended to carry out any operations which could be done by a human computer.

The idea behind diet confusion is, you have to keep your body off-kilter. So by changing the type of foods that you eat, the frequency of the foods that you eat, you can keep your metabolism revved up.

The idea behind a kaleidoscope is that it is a structure that's filled with broken bits and pieces, and somehow if you can look through them, you still see something beautiful. And I feel like we are all that way a little bit.

The idea behind a dish -- the delight and the surprise -- makes a difference. Great literature surprises and delights, and provokes us. It isn't just 'Here's the facts -- boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl.' It's how you tell it.

The idea behind Reaganomics is this: a rising tide lifts all yachts.

The idea behind Mediaite was always to focus on the punditry, focus on the personalities behind the political media.

The idea behind Jinkx is that she's a single mother and failed actress. One time she went out to a gay bar with her son, who's a gay adult, and started singing torch songs on the bar and became a hit. Now she's every gay boy's favorite cabaret act.

The idea behind 'Defending Your Life': Imagine if you had to sit in a courtroom and watch your life. I don't care who you are -- if you committed a crime and you had to have all of your emails searched and made public, who on this planet could survive that? Nobody.

The idea began to sink in, more than it ever had, that I might be crazy, in the traditional sense of the word. That I might be, forever and ever amen, a Crazy Person. That's what we'd suspected all along, what I'd been working so hard to disprove, what might be true. I preferred, by far, being dead.

The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.

The idea I pursue is the one that keeps coming back to me. The characters I think about as I'm falling asleep at night or when I'm driving to the grocery store are the one's I wind up writing about.

The idea -- the core idea of humanism -- is that the act of reading about great deeds will lead you to imitate them.

The idea (for the painting 'Room in New York', 1932, ed.) had been in my mind a long time before I painted it. It was suggested by glimpses of lighted interiors seen as I walked along city streets at night, probably near the district where I live (Washington Square, New York, fh) although it's no particular street or house, but is really a synthesis of many impressions.

The icy cold will cut us like a knife in the darkAnd we may lose everything in the windBut the Northern Lights are burningAnd they're giving off sparks.

The icons light up on his laptop, e-mail invites him to grow his penis, enlarge his breasts, refinance his house. All is well in the world.

The iconoclastic mode, that specific mode of language, there is an element of it that it is punk -- that is confrontational. That's just a part of the language of jazz -- at a certain point.

The iconic life of Nelson Mandela is testament to the fact that the road to freedom is quite often long and fraught with great personal sacrifice.
