My first husband, John Barry, was a composer. I couldn’t believe that this sophisticated, talented genius chose me and not any of the other girls. I was so flattered, so excited, so in love with him. Of course, my parents were horrified, as he’d been married once and had a daughter with the au pair girl.
It was Barry Diller’s idea to start ‘The Daily Beast,’ and he has turned out to be the best partner I’ve ever had. There’s no one better to go into the jungle with.
I always idolized guys like Deion Sanders, Barry Sanders, Steve Young and the entire 49ers team, really. I was a huge 49ers fan growing up.
I’m very grateful to Barry Jenkins, who took a chance on me.
I have the background singers of Ray Charles, the background singers of Smokey Robinson, and the background singers of Barry White and I built a choir around that.
In the ‘Revelation Space’ books, the spaceships are a bit old and rusty, and things go wrong, and they don’t work quite how they’re meant to. And people asked why I did it this way, and groping around for an explanation, I said that I grew up in Barry, this post-industrial sea town full of rusting infrastructure.
Robin had always wanted to go solo, so when it happened I wasn’t angry at all. I understood the situation. But Barry is so full of pride and couldn’t understand why Robin had done it.
My sister sometimes does a Todd Barry tribute act.
I have learnt three things from Barry John which are applicable to life, too: Don’t expect anything from another actor, one shouldn’t judge, and one shouldn’t block things.

Never open a book with weather. There are exceptions. If you happen to be Barry Lopez, who has more ways to describe ice and snow than an Eskimo, you can do all the weather reporting you want.
I love the Bee Gees, and I love Barry Gibb and Andy Gibb. I listen to them almost every day.
Barry White seemed so filled with self-parody at first that it was easy to dismiss him. But it is becoming increasingly obvious with every additional release that he is a very talented man.
Barry White, Smokey Robinson and Curtis Mayfield are big influences for me. But I’m also a metal head. I was in a bunch of punk rock bands. The Bee Gees, hip-hop and the Beach Boys are just as much of an influence on me as Smokey.
Antiheroes who are sort of honest to themselves are the ones you root for. Like, Barry Seal isn’t trying to be anything other than he is. He isn’t fooling anybody per se.
My parents were not big sports fans, but my mother loved Barry Sanders, but she wasn’t a huge fan. Now she likes Calvin Johnson. He’s such an amazing athlete and such a wonderful, humble guy.
I’m the go-to guy for Mexican priests. I’m the new Barry Fitzgerald, except with a Mexican accent.
In 1964, I tried to convince my grandfather, who was active in the New York City firefighters union, to vote for Barry Goldwater over Lyndon Johnson because at the time I thought his approach to limited government was right on.
I always loved slow jams and wanted to make them, but didn’t know how I could because I couldn’t sing. Then Barry White made ‘Love Serenade’ in which all he did was talk the entire jam. I said, ‘I can do that.’

I was very lucky to have fantastic leaders before me in Paul Kelly, Leo Barry, Brett Kirk, Craig Bolton, Mick O’Loughlin and Stuart Maxfield, and all of those players led in completely different ways.
Why is Barry Switzer not in the Hall of Fame? I have no idea. He’s done everything humanly possible to be in.
Instead of the Beatles and the Stones, my mum and dad were listening to Michael Jackson, Barry White.
There are certain times of the day when you need a balance – that is, your protein and your carbs. I’m a Barry Sears man. I believe that anything green is a carb, and I need 2:1. Two of the carbs to one of the protein.
I’m so damn boring. I like reading and writing and making coffee. And walking. Barry Jenkins likes long walks.
I think Barry Gibb would be a wonderful person to work with. Because he just writes good tunes.
It was really inspiring to be in West London in the late 1980s and early 1990s, especially in Mark Lebon’s Crunch Studios, where I met people like Ray Petri, Neneh Cherry, Judy Blame, Nick and Barry Kamen, Zoe Bedeaux, and Venetia Scott.
And Barry Levinson is insanely funny. I don’t know if you know this, not everyone does, but he and Craig T. Nelson were a comedy team back in the coffeehouse days of the late ’60s.
Eating the right things and doing the right things off the field are important. You see players like Ryan Giggs and Gareth Barry. If you look after yourself, you have a chance of playing a long time.
We were ready to launch Barry White, but the record company wouldn’t put it out. Said it wouldn’t sell.
I was only a young whippersnapper at that point. I was in pubs playing Barry Manilow songs. I didn’t know what to expect.
Barry Manilow has gone from being the love of my life to being a friend for life.

I try to do a variety of physical activities. I spin, take classes at Barry’s Boot Camp, go to the gym, use home DVD’s of ChaLEAN Extreme workouts, which I think are brilliant, and I run around after my three girls. Also, let’s be honest. The amount of laundry I do is an exercise in and of itself!
There was no match for Barry White. His music is just going to live forever. It’s not limited to disco or soul or hip-hop or anything.
I keep getting mobbed in M&S and Debenhams. I feel like Barry Manilow.
Barry Hearn has said there’s no time for playboys, but I’m not a playboy.
John Barry was my hero when I was about 13. His scores to the James Bond movies were the scores of my life back then.
‘Spin City’ was a really wonderful time for me. I made friends for life on that show. I made friends with Richard Kind, Michael Boatman, Barry Bostwick, Sandy Chaplin. We’re all close. It was a really wonderful time.
I was a Barry White fan.
Barry Bonds was still young when his father’s fall began. Although Bobby still continued to put up good numbers year after year, he never lived up to expectations.
