There is in every American, I think, something of the old Daniel Boone – who, when he could see the smoke from another chimney, felt himself too crowded and moved further out into the wilderness.
I didn’t study science beyond high school level, but I’d been reading a lot of science books by people like Richard Dawkins, Matt Ridley and Daniel Dennett. I also spent a year working on a fellowship in a research centre – the Allan Wilson Centre – where I got a hands-on look at their work sequencing DNA.
Paul Ryan, along with Daniel Webster, is a totally, deeply revered and respected individual in this Congress. And I love both of them. Both of them would have made good speakers. Both of them would make a good pallbearer for a man like me. They’re that dear to me.
One of the purposes of coming to WWE was to wrestle with Daniel Bryan.
I never had a thing for movie stars. I was into the guys who could transform. Sean Penn. Daniel Day-Lewis. The ones who privileged the craft.
Growing up, I was certainly drawn to comedy, but my goal was just to be as well-rounded an actor as possible. I really liked Daniel Day-Lewis, and I thought, ‘Oh, he’s a good guy to try and emulate.’
I’m a big fan of Daniel Day-Lewis. He’s a marvelous actor. He stands alone, I think.
On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes.
The dream would be to work with my two favorite actors, Daniel Day Lewis and Cate Blanchett. Or playing Joaquin Phoenix’s brother in a film. Basically anything where I get to act opposite actors like these; ones who bring a certain caliber to their work and literally morph into the character they are playing.
I love Daniel Bryan. He’s such a sweetheart.
I like Daniel Alves, I have him as my inspiration.
The removal of the British after the American Revolution opened the floodgates of paramilitary ranger power. For instance, in 1786, ranger units, including one that included Daniel Boone, attacked a number of friendly Shawnee towns along the Mad River.
I could do Daniel Day-Lewis’s job as well as him.
I think Daniel Bryan reminds me a lot of my brother, Owen.
When you talk about somebody being your world champion, you couldn’t ask for a better human being than Daniel Cormier.
There’s no way Daniel Bryan can beat me in a Royal Rumble match. It’s ridiculous. He’s nowhere near as heavy as me; he doesn’t have a fraction of the strength I have. There are a lot of ways that Daniel Bryan can possibly beat me.
Anytime you’re on camera, 95 percent of whatever character you’re playing, unless you’re Daniel Day-Lewis – or maybe, no, pretty much just him – you’re cast because you’re you.
I feel that I have had great matches with Rey Mysterio, AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins.
I could watch ‘There Will Be Blood’ all day long, and Daniel Plainview is a terrible person – but he’s still compelling to watch. That’s what makes me want to engage and see what happens next.
One week I was in school and the next I’m at Leavesden Studios in Dumbledore’s office reading scenes with Daniel Radcliffe. Weird. And terrifying for such a huge ‘Harry Potter’ fan.
One week, you’re facing Daniel Bryan, and next week, you’re teaming with AJ Styles. You’re in the ring with the best in the world. Part of me wants to tell myself they don’t just put anybody in the ring with them. I obviously want to be as good as them, and I feel like I can be and I can hang with them.
I’ve fought Wilson Reis and Pat Curran two times and Daniel Straus four times. I’m sick and tired of rematches. I’m one of the most exciting fighters in MMA, but fans are tired of me fighting the same people over and over. I just keep knocking them out.
Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Penn to me are the two best actors of all time. I’m just glad to have the pleasure to be in an era that they’re acting while I’m acting. They’re probably the best actors in my mind.
As a territory, American Samoa has no representation in the U.S. Senate, and we Samoans lost a respected and powerful ally with the passing of Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye.
You know the way there are two kinds of actors – the De Niro kind who’s always De Niro, and then somebody like Daniel Day-Lewis, who transforms himself eerily? Well, I aim to be the Daniel Day-Lewis kind of writer. I don’t have a house style.
I’d rather have Daniel Boulud have 20 restaurants than some restauranteur. It’s going to make the food in our country better.
I actually want to face Daniel Cormier.
I want to do films that challenge me. I want to do what the actors I look up to are doing – the Gary Oldmans and Daniel Day-Lewises.
I never go to Vancouver without stopping by Thomas Haas’ shop for the best chocolate in North America. A former chef patissier at Daniel, he returned to his hometown and created a top quality brand by sticking to his passion.
Daniel Bryan is one of the few people in the world I would stand toe-to-toe with in any situation and know that we would do the same for me.
Some people have heard of The Method, which originally goes back to Stanislavski… he gave you six major pointers whereby you became that character and tried to fool your mind psychologically. That’s it in a nutshell. Daniel Day Lewis is an example of somebody like that who stays in character between takes.
Coming from the background that I come from, being a gold medalist, you see Ronda Rousey and Daniel Cormier doing so well. Yoel Romero. All these Olympians. It’s kinda hard to bet against them.
I studied at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, which was founded by Laurence Olivier and has alumni like Jeremy Irons and Daniel Day Lewis. It’s a very erudite institution; its ethos, really, was always theatre-based.
I’m transitioning from being a starving artist. My producers had success outside of the Daniel Caesar brand, so they invested money, time and resources. They funded the first video, and a lot of other things that I’m so thankful for.
Much respect to Daniel Cormier, he’s a hell of an athlete and hell of a champion.
The actors I admire, like Ben Kingsley or Daniel Day-Lewis, they totally reinvent themselves in every part. I hope I get a chance to do that.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan is the archetypal extremely smart person who went into politics anyway instead of doing something worthwhile for his country.
I’ve been lucky enough to kiss three James Bonds on screen: Pierce Brosnan, George Lazenby and Daniel Craig.
I will read anything at all by Kate Atkinson, Daniel Woodrell, and William Kennedy, who are all fearless.
You don’t have to be Wilt Chamberlain to get into the Basketball Hall of Fame. If you don’t have a sweet turnaround jumper from 18 feet, the best route to the Hall is fatherhood. Daniel Biasone, aka the ‘father of the 24-second clock,’ made the cut.
Everyone’s been through hell to get where they are, and I’m not gonna let anybody talk down on what I’ve done just cause I didn’t do what Daniel Bryan or your other favorite wrestlers did. Don’t mean I didn’t earn my spot.
They warned me, ‘you’re going to be doing the screen test with Daniel Radcliffe a week after the audition.’ And then in the hair and make up department, he walked up behind and scared me. But you get used to him quickly because he tries to make you feel very welcome and at home.
Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors of our age; he’s like Olivier. He’s one of those people who can take you into a place where no one else can take you.
I like Daniel Sturridge a lot after playing with him at Chelsea.
I drink Jack Daniel’s. I drink tequila. But you do it in moderation.
I was interviewing Daniel Craig and Naomie Harris for a Bond film a few years ago, and the moment I sat down, my dress ripped. No more bodycon numbers for me. I had to walk out of the room backwards when I was done.
I decided to go to Germany, because I found a new coach and he was based out of Germany, as well as my trainer there, Daniel.
You’re allowed to be a little bit weird and still get massive attention. The fact that a Solange can work or a Daniel Caesar can work or even how far Kendrick Lamar has gotten. People are getting more comfortable.
As has been the case with Sebastian Vettel, Daniil Kvyat, Daniel Ricciardo, Max Verstappen, we’re always going to draw upon the talent pool we have.
I don’t have the talent of Daniel Day-Lewis. I’m Steve Austin, so when I get to hang out and be who I am, and I live on set, it’s like a paid vacation, man.
I am sick of people sitting there saying, ‘Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz.’ He doesn’t deserve to be in the ring with me. He’s not at the level that I am.
You can’t have the real thing on camera – that’s the nature of cinema. When you see people like Daniel Day-Lewis and Ralph Fiennes screaming and hyperventilating, you’re seeing the phoniest kind of bad acting. You may as well have a ‘men at work’ sign. It’s not acting if you can see it.
The great thing about Daniel Ricciardo is you can’t not like him, he’s got a big smile, he loves what he does, he’s a great personality.
Daniel Bryan is very good at being endearing.
