She will strenuously outwait, outwit, outrun and outlast whatever is bedeviling her. She will put her all into taking breath after breath. The hallmark of the wild nature is that it goes on.

• Hay que llevar la guerra a todos los rincones que el enemigo se le ocurra llevarla, a su casa, a sus centros de diversión: una guerra total. Hay que impedirle un momento de paz, un momento tranquilo fuera de su cuartel o incluso dentro; hay que atacarle allí donde esté, hacerle sentir como una fiera acorralada allá donde se mueva. Entonces su fibra moral empezará a decaer, pero notaremos cómo los signos de decadencia empiezan a desaparecer.

• This national argument is usually interpreted as a battle between imperialists led by Roosevelt and Lodge and anti-imperialists led by William Jennings Bryan and Carl Schurz. It is far more accurate and illuminating however, to view it as a three-cornered fight. The third group was a coalition of businessmen, intellectuals, and politicians who opposed traditional colonialism and advocated instead a policy of an open door through which America's preponderant economic strength would enter and dominate all underdeveloped areas of the world.

• One of the producers, Wonjo, was an amazing interpreter. I don't think we really knew how it was going to work at the beginning. Yet it was something that a couple of days into it seemed so seamless and it wasn't something that we noticed or thought about. A couple of times I cornered him and forced him to speak English but we didn't speak much English at all. That said, I don't think anything was ever lost in translation. It was all very easy.
