The great houses of Britain have, for centuries, been the guardians of much of our history, not just of the families who built and lived in them, but of the people who worked there, of the local area, of all of us.
I'm just here to play basketball and have fun and try to win another championship.
I often wonder why people remake movies. Is there just a lack of imagination out there that they can't come up with an original idea?
A very wise author once said that a writer writes for himself, and then publishes for money. I write for myself and publish just for the reader.
You know, in my music career there was a moment where the irony was just so heavy. There were people in my audience that were the reason I developed neuroses. These people that tortured my life were using my art, my poetry, as fuel for them, to torture other people.
J. R. Smith's incredible, man, just incredible off the bench.
We know what racist people look like. They don't deny it. They just don't!
I don't like to explain the clothes, how I made them, the theme, et cetera. It's because the clothes are just as you see them and feel them. That's what I want... just see and feel them.
A lot of celebrities just want money, fame, power, fancy cars, houses all over the world and have people bow down to them. To me, that's frightful behaviour.
Lipstick doesn't really suit me. For shoots or when I go out, I use it - but if I use it all the time, it makes me look really old, so I keep it natural with nude or a natural pink. Though I did just do a shoot where they did a big red lip, and it looked amazing.
Peter Sellers was just a brilliant actor, and also comedic.
The theatre at my school was awesome. It was a 1,400-seat auditorium, so, being in that auditorium at 17, and having, like, 1,400 people cheer for you was, like, one of the most amazing feelings that I've ever felt, energy-wise. It just felt right.
I just always loved to perform and I was lucky enough to be in front of the right people at the right time!
When I'm up there, I'm just thinking that I've got to make them laugh or they won't show up next time.
'Silicon Valley' has come to mean the Bay Area, not just down the Peninsula.
We don't need a War on Carbon. We need a new prosperity that can be shared by all while still respecting a multitude of real ecological limits - not just atmospheric gas concentrations, but topsoil depth, water supplies, toxic chemical concentrations, and the health of ecosystems, including the diversity of life they depend upon.
Reality seems so simple. We just open our eyes and there it is. But that doesn't mean it is simple.
Just to travel is rather boring, but to travel with a purpose is educational and exciting.
Don't worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon.
I feel a lot more comfortable on stage in the theatre. It just reminds me of being a kid and doing pantomimes.
Sometimes you have to take a break from being a crazy kid. You can't be doing that all the time. Sometimes you just have to pay respect to your own simple-ness.
I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus it's just depressing to me. The poor little kids.
For a year, I was the world's worst assistant to a talent manager. I was awful at it. Really disorganized. Just not the person you want at the front desk of your office.
I don't really have a lot of fun playing just straight good guys. It's not my thing. It's like Tom Hanks territory.
Children are a house's enemy. They don't mean to be - they just can't help it. It's their enthusiasm, their energy, their naturally destructive tendencies.
I just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical.
I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in, children and teaching and writing.
It sucks being judged by the world instead of your close friends or family. I try to just realise that the only people who matter are my family and friends.
While not widely reported, our victories in Iraq are plentiful. National elections, a democratic parliament and the drafting of a constitution are just some of the victories throughout this embattled country.
I'm doing 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'... It was a book I read when I was younger, and it just changed my life, and I just wanted to be a part of it.
What is the recipe for successful achievement? To my mind there are just four essential ingredients: Choose a career you love, give it the best there is in you, seize your opportunities, and be a member of the team.
When somebody gives up their friends and everything they do just to be with a person, they wake up miserable one day. They're denying themselves for no real reason other than they think that's the thing to do.
I'm just interested in meditating on certain ideas, and I like to draw: that's my way of thinking.
Truth lives, in fact, for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs pass, so long as nothing challenges them, just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.
The bad, angry, upset, wounded people are more interesting, so they're in the news more, but I don't think they're in the majority. I have faith that things will change - I mean, just like everybody else, I don't fix my roof until it's actually leaking, but eventually, we all get round to doing it.
I don't feel that the conductor has real power. The orchestra has the power, and every member of it knows instantaneously if you're just beating time.
