Zitat des Tages über Kerl / Chap:
In those days I would go for an interview and find myself competing with this other chap who would always be younger and taller, and much handsomer than I.
One of my contemporaries, a colorless chap who worked much harder at his law studies, is now Prime Minister.
They gave me the chaps and hat and everything. I looked like a real cowboy. I walked around the rodeo and thought, I am a real cowboy and thought everyone thought I was a real cowboy.
I think Isambard Kingdom Brunel would be a good chap to have supper with. Anyone who builds a railway and then builds a steamship when he gets to Bristol and can't go any further must be a good chap.
I like to think that my arrogance, impetuosity, impatience, selfishness and greed are the qualities that make me the lovable chap I am.
He was a tubby little chap who looked as if he had been poured into his clothes and had forgotten to say 'when!'
A bowler can make or break a chap.
Most of the time I spent in America, I was having a love affair with some American or other. I was just passing through but stayed because of these chaps.

People expect me to be dark and gloomy, then write that I'm a jolly chap, and after all, that is what I am. I think it's a case of an absolute romantic naivety that there should be a parallel between the work and the artist.
When I look in the mirror, I never see a handsome chap or the person people think I am.
I'm not doing no more 'Flavor of Loves.' I'm trying to grow. I don't want to stay on the same page. You can't stay on the same page in order to get to the next chap.

I think if you put people in front of some huge temptation where it's possible to grab as much as they can for themselves, almost everyone will. The beauty of commerce is that it mutes that. The chap behind the counter in the corner shop has no interest in short-changing you, because he wants you to come back.
I am quite a physical chap - I think that's why my waist and physique are pretty much the same as when I was a kid, although my chest is a lot bigger.
