Examples of Simon in a Sentence

1. Emanuele Satolli:

   We waited in the car for him and Simon (Johnsen) started yelling ‘come here, come here’ and that’s when I took that picture.

2. Katherine Langford:

   I think representation is crucial. You need to see people who look like you, who think like you, speak like you, who go through the same things like you. And I think that's what filmmakers can do so beautifully, is to tell stories, i was also on ‘ 13 Reasons Why, ’ and I think that the two similarities between ‘ Love, Simon ’ and the show are that we're aiming to tell a story in an authentic way. I didn't choose either one with any social agenda, but I think that I'm really grateful to be a part of both and again I think that Katherine Langford need representation, particularly with a story that so many people have gone through and hasn't been told yet. Katherine Langford and Nick Robinson, the film’s star, noted that Katherine Langford and Nick Robinson was interested in the role as it put LGBTQ characters front and center for the first time. What makes it different is usually when Katherine Langford are seeing a film like this or a character like this their sort of perfunctory, Katherine Langford know ? They're not really... they're in the background. They're like a fringe element.

3. John Swartzwelder:

   The' Army Man' jokes got me my initial interview with Sam Simon and Matt Groening [ Groening ], which led to my first script assignment,' Bart the General,' but I wasn't actually hired to work on staff until I'd done three episodes. ' The Simpsons' didn't have enough money for a full-time writing staff until late in 1989. They've got enough now, of course.

4. Karoly Fonyo:

   Naturally we expect a legal procedure, both of those two (Simon and Dederick) had prior knowledge of (my) acquisition (when they sold TV2 to Vajna). I am as dumbfounded as anyone.

5. Gail Bradbrook:

   I think Simon Bramwell once said,' it's like we need the activists to get on the yoga mats and the yoga mat people to get on the street,'.
