Steven Adler and I played football in the street when we were 12. I remember rehearsing in my bedroom with my first band, and some kid climbed over the fence of my backyard and peeked his head in the window to see who was rocking. It was Slash.
Steven and I have worked together a lot and I’m far ahead of the curve than most people in knowing what he wants, but he knows far more than I know about what’s important for the story. So, most of the changes he will make will involve story changes.
Steven Spielberg was my childhood hero.
I like how you can go back and watch David Lean and John Ford and see the influence that had on Steven Spielberg, especially David Lean, in the camerawork, and yet, you don’t watch any Spielberg movie and think of David Lean. Once you’re looking for it, you see it all, but it’s not in your face.
Little Steven – the songwriter, producer, and arranger – stayed alive doing the ‘Lilyhammer’ score. That pretty much took up three or four years of my life, and all of my musical energy went into that.
My target is to score more goals, not necessarily be the next Steven Gerrard. Obviously, my respect for him is very high, but I want to go my own way. I want to be Emre Can, not copy other players.
Steven Spielberg seems to have wanted to be a director from 13. He put his dog in a certain position and made him eat at four o’clock. He liked to direct it. But, to me, directing is tedious. Especially if you’re acting in it. And I’m inherently lazy.
In 1987, I had no idea who Steven Isserlis was. We met at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina. It was originally just an Italian summer festival, but for the past 14 years, there’s also been a spring festival in America.
You know that you’re part of a Spielberg production when you’ve got some aliens involved, but you really know when you’re sitting there at a table read, and they say, ‘Steven really wanted it this way.’
In the Steven F. Austin Colony, which was the first colony, Texans first established a provisional government in 1835 with the intention of writing a declaration of independence soon after.
The iPod was once so important to Apple that the estimable journalist Steven Levy wrote an entire book about it. And then, poof! The iPod was nearly gone.
During my time playing for England we had Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes. They were world-class players playing for Chelsea, Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, all legends of the game.
Steven Gerrard was someone I looked up to massively. I’d always try to copy him, right down to the boots he was wearing. It was his attitude on the pitch that stood out – you could really see how much he hated losing.
I can’t impress people with the pedigree of obscure French filmmakers that got me into film. It was Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg. I really thought I wanted to make dumb action movies.
I really think that Steven Caple, Jr. is going to be a great addition to the ‘Rocky’ director pantheon.
For me and Steven to both play for Fulham at the same time was special.
It is very nice to be compared to Steven Gerrard, but I know I am not at the same level.
I’d love to do another ‘Indiana Jones.’ A character that has a history and a potential, kind of a rollicking good movie ride for the audience, Steven Spielberg as a director – what’s not to like?
Steven Spielberg’s ‘The Color Purple’ might as well have been about a bunch of dancing eggplants for all it has to say about black history.
The friendships I made on ‘L.A. Law,’ with the cast and Steven Bochco and David Kelley were really wonderful.
For actors, when you first get the project and you see that it’s a Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman-produced project, right away, from an acting standpoint, you go, ‘Wow. That’d be great to be part of that. What a career move that’d be.’
I even used to play as Liverpool on the PlayStation on ‘FIFA’ when I was 18 or 19, as Steven Gerrard, Sami Hyypia, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen, and Xabi Alonso.
I think there was a petition online to get me involved in ‘Doctor Who.’ I’m not a ‘Doctor Who’ fanatic, but I am a Steven Moffat fanatic.
I had a lot of idols like Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, and Xabi Alonso – all of them. I really looked up to them.
Look, nobody can begrudge Steven Gerrard doing what he wants to do. He has just been a legend.
I’m excited about the new judges on ‘American Idol.’ Jennifer Lopez was a real mentor to me my season and I admire her so much. And I kind of have a crush on Steven Tyler. It’s going to be interesting to see is one person going to stand out among the judges or if everyone will sort of be equal.
Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, you name it – I’m interested. I’m free. I’m looking for acting work. At the same time, you have to find a role you’re right for, and then there’s a slew of other actresses. That’s why I will pursue more directing. It’s like, who needs a boss? I’m right here.
Growing up, I had the weird fantasy list: I wanted to be Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, and Stan Lee. You have to have almost psychotic drive, because you’re going to have years of failure.
I tried to get Steven Seagal for my ‘Stepfather Factory’ video in 2002.
I don’t think I’ll ever be another Steven Gerrard, to be honest!
When I got on the set of ‘Saving Private Ryan,’ I discovered, to my amazement, that Steven Spielberg is a gamer.
On ‘Idol,’ Steven Tyler will be sitting at a table with two other judges, and part of his job will be keeping his yap zipped while they talk. This makes no sense at all, since Tyler has zero yap-zipping skills.
I just love Steven Seagal for his pure – his perspective on what being a hero is: just a purely evil, cruel perspective.
I loved being in Close Encounters, just to watch Steven Spielberg working was exciting.
I’d love to work with the Coen brothers. And Steven Spielberg. ‘E.T.’ was big for me.
Steven Gerrard is the best player I have played with throughout my career; therefore, my ideal player would be very like him.
‘E.T.’ depended absolutely on the concept of cinema, and I think that Steven Spielberg, who I’m very fond of, is a genius.
I was 12 when I did ‘Super 8,’ and when Dakota was 12, she did ‘War of the Worlds.’ Steven Spielberg was involved with both movies, so we both worked with Steven when we were 12.
I love Steven Meisel and David Sims’ work, I think they’re both amazing photographers. I want to be at the same level as them one day.
Size is just something you can’t teach, you know what I mean? I can’t be bigger than Joel Embiid or Steven Adams or Aron Baynes. It’s almost near impossible.
My big break down here was working with Steven Spielberg in ‘1941.’ It was a very small role, as Corporal Foley, who was part of the tank crew with Dan Aykroyd.
When fans come to me, and they say, ‘You’re my favorite singer in rock music,’ and I go, ‘What about Steven Tyler?’ ‘No, I like you better.’ ‘What about Robert Plant?’ ‘I like you better.’ That’s kind of weird to me, because I’m like, ‘No, dude – Steven Tyler and Robert Plant are gods.’
As soon as I was obedient to just taking a chance on God, all of these things that you’re seeing – ‘Black Panther’ or ‘Humans’ or ‘The Commuter’ or Steven Spielberg – it came right after I took that break.
The three people I’ve always wanted to meet are Stephen Fry, Billy Connolly and Steven Gerrard.
I would like to take a moment of silence to remember all those who lost their lives at the hands of ISIS, especially Americans James Foley, Steven Sotloff, and, most recently, Kayla Mueller.
I had written the script for Juno and apparently Steven Spielberg had read it. I can’t just call him Steven, that’s weird… Mr. Spielberg had read it and he liked it. He asked me if I would write this television show for him and I said, ‘Yeah!’
Steven Spielberg films were huge touchstones for us growing up.
I grew up watching Steven Spielberg and scary movies.
A career high was when I did a cover for ‘W Magazine’s July issue with Steven Meisel. So few girls shoot with Meisel in their career, and a lot of people had told me I would never achieve that, so it was a dream come true.
Steven, my friend who came out to me my senior year, was a huge Madonna fan. So I may know all the words to ‘Bedtime Stories,’ ‘Erotica,’ and a few more of her albums – and we may have watched ‘Truth or Dare’ a thousand times.
