I am a cynical optimist. Big opening weekends are like cotton candy. The films you will remember over time are the films that stick in the consciousness of the audience in a good way.
I like movies that pop, that have a little bit of candy on, that freedom to have a little bit of extra fun, but are rooted in real behaviour. Rooted in cause and effect, never violating reality.
All the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911.
I only eat candy on Halloween. No lie.
When I read the news that Wonder Woman was going to be resurrected for a blockbuster movie in 2016, ‘Batman vs. Superman’, it made me excited – and anxious. Would the producers give her a role as fierce as her origins – and maybe some shoulder straps – or would she just be cartoon eye candy?
We have a thin candy shell, I’m surprised you didn’t know that.
I am on a sugar-free diet. I used to be a sugar addict where I would eat gummy bears and candy when I lived in Europe.
I try to eat healthy when I can, but no one can take my candy away from my bedside! I always keep it there for a treat when I wake up!
I’m poor just like everybody else. If someone kidnaps me, they’re getting nothing but a candy, a gum.
My mom didn’t want us to go to the candy house, she didn’t want us to go to the ice cream truck, she didn’t want us to go to the… There was actually a donut truck, if that makes sense.
The truth is, one of the best things about being 15 years old is that things like candy are still exciting. Once you get older, once you’ve been knocked down enough by this cruel thing we call life, that just won’t be the case anymore. Eventually, you’ll become jaded.
At the age of two-and-a-half, I was run down by a truck. I had gone rogue in the house while my mother was bathing my sister. I went outside and met a friend who promised me candy. Afterward, I walked back by myself across the road where I fell down in the street. A 15-year-old boy delivering bread struck me down.
Canada has given us John Candy and Martin Short and Bill Shatner and Lord knows how many other wonderful performers.
Much-derided chick lit, chick flicks, and chick magazines have left ambitious women in a bind. Why is it that I, a young woman, can read ‘GQ,’ enjoy ‘Fight Club,’ and subscribe to ‘Thrillist,’ while the idea of a guy doing the same with ‘Glamour,’ ’27 Dresses’ and ‘Daily Candy’ is nearly unheard of?
I cannot finish a meal if I do not have a good dessert. But when I say good, I mean it has to be really good. And it’s usually small stuff – a piece of candy, crepes, some apple cobbler. No cake.
After an era of everything being super-sized, who would have thought that major companies would be racing to market smaller, lower-calorie versions of their snacks and beverages – from half-sized candy bars to little, mini soda cans? We see it everywhere we go.
I love every type of candy. I love Skittles and Reeses. I love it all.
I can’t be an arm candy to the hero. I need to play characters that have layers, that people can relate to.
I definitely eat candy in bed. I eat candy wherever I am.
Whenever I don’t have anything to do, I play Candy Crush or Scrabble. We actors have time between shots, which we need to kill. And we cannot call friends or family, as you are called at a moment’s notice. So you need to do something which you can dispose of immediately when called for a shot.
I am so proud of the growth of Dylan’s Candy Bar into two more flagship stores: Union Square in New York City and Chicago on Michigan Avenue, and two airport stores: JFK and Detroit.
Growing up in Baltimore, there were a lot of distractions. But I was so into boxing, it was like candy to me.
I collect candy packaging from around the world and believe it has the value of Pop Art.
I don’t want flowers or candy or anything like that. I just want somebody to say, ‘Wow, you’ve done a great job.’
There are so many tricks and so much eye candy in cinema. What I love about the classicism of genre is that there’s a discipline. I think it’s a healthy thing to resist all that candy.
My mom didn’t let me eat sugar or candy until I was older.
I crave sugar, but I try to get sugar from fruit as opposed to getting it from candy, cakes, or bread. Sometimes I slip, and I’ll have a piece of chocolate, but dark chocolate is better than milk.
I love to fight. Keeping me at home without a fight is the same to offer candy to a kid and then take it away. That’s why I’m always competing in other martial arts. That keeps me motivated to train and helps me learn even more.
I would like to play an average guy. I would have loved to play opposite John Candy in a movie. That was my dream for a long time, and sadly, now I can never realize that. But I’d like to do comedy.
The funny thing about the entertainment business is that we all feel like kids playing in a candy store, but we are entrusted with millions and millions and millions of dollars and an entire industry that can thrive or die on whether or not we do our jobs well or not.
I’m a huge candy fan. My favorite growing up was always Sour Belts or Sour Straws.
I usually spend Valentines Day with my friends. But if I did have a girlfriend, I’d bring her flowers and candy.
Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker.
If I played in New York, they’d name a candy bar after me.
It’s easier to sell cotton candy than it is to sell broccoli to somebody, but the broccoli is better for you, and the same thing with a limited government.
More men than women like ‘Strangers With Candy’. Pretty girls don’t like the show. They don’t like to see an ugly lady.
Sometimes I feel like if two parents were given $100, and a child-free person was given $100, everyone would assume that the parents would invest their money wisely because they’re smart. And people like me would just go buy candy.
Growing up, I ate a lot of candy. If you were my dentist, you would know that, you know, but I eat a lot of candy, so from eight to probably, like, 15, you wouldn’t see me without a pack of Skittles.
People will say candy is recession-proof, and we’re definitely seeing nostalgic candies coming about, and people want that sugar rush and that nostalgic happiness, like their childhood times.
When it comes to the chocolate, I allow it every single day, but I only get 200 calories worth. So I work it into my daily calories. It’s a candy bar. But I usually only need it after dinner.
The gummy bears tattoo was my idea. It’s my son’s favorite candy. The sketch was my other son’s idea. It’s a self-portrait of himself. I just showed the artist his sketch and had him tattoo it on my forearm. It looks like a stick person with big hair. It’s pretty funny.
Oh yeah, I don’t eat a lot of candy on tour. When I get home, man, I love candy. Oh, man, and ice cream. I can’t eat it on tour because of the sugar and my throat.
I’d like to see mothers at home be more assertive, be unapologetic, give themselves permission, and to stand up for themselves as an equal parent, whether that is being a parent who’s authoritative and needs to discipline and put healthy boundaries in, or to serve out the candy.
I don’t want to hear songs about how sunshiny things are. I don’t like songs that feel like radio candy… I like the ones that make you think, laugh or cry – they pull some kind of emotion out of you.
I’ve always loved words. I ate up all the books I could get my hands on, and when I couldn’t get books, I read candy wrappers and labels on cereal and toothpaste boxes.
Since my initials are J. U., people called me Ju. Or Jujube, like the candy.
I guess sci-fi was like my candy growing up. My dad always thought it was important for me to read an hour or two every night. And if I got stuck or didn’t want to read, sci-fi was sort of the thing you’d give me to spur me on to read that evening.
Jerry Bruckheimer is the most hands-on producer that I’ve worked with. Jerry’s very involved in the music, and he’s such a fan of film. When you watch him playing back the cues to the picture, he’s like a kid in a candy store.
I like to write from midnight to dawn with great stores of candy and Red Bull laid in… I’m not sure why I have the work habits of a 20-year-old coder, but no matter how many times I set up a more reasonable schedule, I always fall back to this.
Whether it be cereal technology or candy technology or snack technology, puff snacks, I’m always curious to know how those things are made and how we can take that technology, those ingredients, and apply it to a stand-alone restaurant.
What made ‘Ice Age’ work is that it had its shiny candy coatings, but inside was a soft, creamy center.
If I’m recording a song, and it’s kind of fuzzed out, but I’ve got this super candy melody, I feel nothing but freedom that I can just sing over the top, and it will be appreciated. It won’t be like, ‘What is he doing?’
What do young, budding artists do, but go to law school? I had creative periods now and again, but it wasn’t until I was practicing law that I really needed a creative outlet. I’d come home from long days at the office and draw, paint, and sculpt from clay, wire – even candy.
Sometimes if a song hits me really good the first time, I get sick of it. And by the 10th time I’ve heard it, it’s just candy, and I don’t like it anymore.
It comes down to balance when consuming food – I’ll eat burgers, pizza, candy, and then I’ll balance it out with fruit, salad, fish… and of course I work out.
