The dominant male is history. Could you see a male Lady Gaga? The closest we’ve got is Justin Bieber, who’d be locked up if he tried the stuff Gaga gets away with. Women are the only rock stars now. Adele is brutally honest. I want to be like her.
Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent, sophisticated audiences in history. We don’t any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.
Winning ‘Motor Trend’ Car of the year is probably the closest thing to winning the Oscar or Emmy of the car industry.
For me, I’m a family man. I absolutely love my family and they’re the closest thing to my heart. And to me, that’s my life.
One of my closest friends is a trans man who is incredible. And a lot of my clients are trans women.
In closing I wish to say that while I was sorely beset by a number of white riders in my racing days, I have also enjoyed the friendship of countless thousands of white men whom I class as among my closest friends.
Like the assassination of JFK, everybody alive then can remember where they were that Doomsday Week of the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. That Saturday, 27 October, was, and remains, the closest the world has come to nuclear holocaust – the blackest day of a horrendous week.
When you’re going through these difficult times of chaos and trauma, the most important thing is to keep those who are closest to you together.
Gliders, sail planes, they’re wonderful flying machines. It’s the closest you can come to being a bird.
It is very hard to separate one’s self from a character. Sometimes the people closest to me have to be very understanding.

I have an amazing social media manager, Allison Peters, who is one of my closest friends since childhood.
I have stuck my neck out to stand with a party whose ideologies are closest to mine.
‘My Father’s Eyes’ is very personal. I realized that the closest I ever came to looking in my father’s eyes was when I looked into my son’s eyes.
I was the youngest of six kids, and my brothers and sisters were kind of a lot older than me. And the one sister that was, like, in a close age range – she was five years older than me. She was my closest sister in age, and she was a loser.
God created me. And the closest I will ever get with God is this soul, this body. And if I don’t have myself, if I don’t listen to myself, if I don’t trust myself, then I don’t trust God, because God created me.
There’s a lot of the Midwest and the West in Justice Rehnquist’s approach to constitutional law. And by that I mean a recognition that people know pretty well how to govern themselves, that government that is closest to the people is apt to be more responsive to their legitimate concerns and needs.
As I have always said, those closest to the pain should be closest to the power.
The closest fires were near enough for us to hear the crackling flames and the yells of firemen. Little fires grew into big ones even as we watched. Big ones died down under the firemen’s valor only to break out again later.
People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in.
I really just prefer to be exactly who I am, and black is really the closest race and cultural category that represents the essence of who I am.
I miss my mother very much, and I feel closest to her when I have dinner in the oven and the children are nearby playing and I’m reading a book or doing some little project.
It’s not as if I’ve ever been to prison or been close to going to prison. The closest I’ve got is knowing people who have been in jail – after all, I was a member of Parliament – and visiting them there during their sentence.
I am closest to my mother, as she is my rock, my pillar of strength, and my world. Not only has she stood by me through all times – happy, sad, and otherwise – but there have even been moments when I had completely lost hope, and her immense belief in me had lifted me up.
I grew up babysitting and always enjoyed it. I love family. A couple of my closest friends have kids, and I’m their godfather, and that’s one of my greatest pleasures in life, just picking them up from school and hanging out with them.
It is the closest instrument to the human voice, and the things you can do on the cello… there are endless possibilities.

A dog is a vehicle, you know; a dog is a window to Mother Nature, and that’s the closest species we have.
I do believe in ‘forever’ in terms of relationships. There’s something really amazing about being with someone for a long time and really knowing each other in that way. They end up becoming your closest friend.
When our Founders created this great experiment in self-governance, the House of Representatives became, by design, the body closest to the people. We are the most accountable, and we must be the most transparent.
Direction is closest to my heart. I may run out of work as an actor as I get older, but I can work as a director even if I live up to be 90. I promised myself that I will direct a film every three years.
I think this is what hooks one to gardening: it is the closest one can come to being present at creation.
Southern barbecue is the closest thing we have in the U.S. to Europe’s wines or cheeses; drive a hundred miles and the barbecue changes.
Quark-antiquark collisions cannot be realized directly since free quarks are not available. The closest substitute is to use collisions between protons and antiprotons.
I grew up here in New York City and New Jersey, performing on Broadway shows, surrounded by some of my closest friends from the LGBT community. My father, a minister from New Jersey, shaped my view that love is love, that we are all equal.
Sometimes if I’m in my head before a take, I’ll just like to reach out to the closest thing to me – the wall or a sharp edge – and just push into it. That way, my physical experience is totally contemporaneous and not in the clouds.
I love the road. The closest thing to home, for me, is being on a tour bus, ironically.
A reflection of an exact image is the closest thing to you-so that you can see it-but it’s far enough away so that you really understand it. There is real life in this movie, but it hovers just an inch above reality.
I was outrageous on the ‘Moral Maze.’ The closest I sailed to the wind was when I almost outed a most saintly Cardinal in a talk on homosexuality in public life.
I really am not going to get involved in a discussion about the legal position of the Iraq war. I am not the person to do that because I am not sufficiently impartial as a lawyer about this, because it’s a matter that is of interest to the person that I am closest to in the world.
The closest thing to religion our family had was worshipping The Beatles.
My dad had an aunt at the turn of the century who died from diabetes, but she was the closest affected relative in my family.
Mars is key to humanity’s future in space. It is the closest planet that has all the resources needed to support life and technological civilization. Its complexity uniquely demands the skills of human explorers, who will pave the way for human settlers.
My family and my closest friends are my favorite things about being home.
Beyond the Thunder is the closest I’ve recorded to an acoustic thing.
When I grew up here, there was no T-Hub. Probably, the closest to T was the Tank bund.
My father was in Ataturk’s closest group. They lived together during the War of Liberation in Turkey.
Music is this divine thing, the closest that we can get to something divine. It’s like this instinct we all own, and some of us have found a way to hear that music and write it down and share it with people.
I don’t think about Yauch in the form of his death. I think about him in the form of his life. He was like my closest older brother. There’s just so much that we lived through together.
I believe the House of Representatives is exactly the place where immigration reform should take place. Our entire House is elected every two years. We’re the people closest to the people.
It is also very engaging – and a delight – to go back to Bangladesh as often as I can, which is not only my old home, but also where some of my closest friends and collaborators live and work.
Twitch is something I never thought I’d enjoy and I never saw myself doing. But actually I really enjoyed it. For the people that follow me, I think it’s the closest you can get to the real me.
You never know really what anyone thinks about you – that’s why all my closest friends are ones I’ve had since my schooling days when I was 5. And I surround myself with people who I trust and who know me.
Well, my closest friends are still the ones that I went to school with, but it’s nice to go to work, at the studios, and have people there that you’re willing to talk to and have a good conversation with.
