I don’t know that a movie like ‘Daredevil’ did better for having Ben Affleck then ‘Spider-Man’ did having Tobey Maguire, who was a relative unknown at the time.
One out of every 100 families in Vermont was a part owner of Ben and Jerry’s.
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.
I sought Ben Affleck because I needed an everyman for this role. Ben appeals to men and women. He gives you a sense of intelligence, the notion of a guy who can think on his feet.
We met Ben Mendelsohn, who had acted with Ryan Gosling in ‘A Place Beyond the Pines,’ and that’s the first place where we’d seen him. And we’re embarrassed to say that we didn’t know that he was a famous Australian actor at the time that we saw it.
I say it all the time: it’s different when two heavyweights, especially when they are the size of Ben Rothwell, face each other in the Octagon. Even the leather – right in the back seat of the arena, they will be able to hear the sounds of the punches.
On ‘Black Ben Carson,’ I had strict no melody thing. I wanted straight, raw, rugged noise music.
I will say, I quite enjoyed ‘SG-1’. I’m a very big fan of ‘SG-1’. I especially love Ben Browder. I thought he did fantastic work in that.
I quite like American music, like The Fray – I’m a massive fan of them – and The Killers. I also like more acoustic stuff like Ed Sheeran; I like this English songwriter James Morrison and another singer called Ben Howard.
I’m a Londoner. Embankment. Big Ben. Cab drivers.
I love nonfiction the most. It’s hard to find a good nonfiction story, and that’s why I’m not as prolific, I guess, as a lot of people. They’re hard to find. I love the nonfiction writer Ben Macintyre. I think he’s terrific at the form of telling a story in a cinematic way.
Just as many golfers feel a kinship with Ben Hogan or Bobby Jones after studying their lives, such is the closeness I feel with Lawson Little Jr. Little quite simply is the most underappreciated golfer of the first half of the 20th century.
The rise of Ben Carson is a fascinating case study in grassroots cultivation that’s resulted in strong support among evangelicals and women, reflected in the most robust small donor base in the 2016 race.
Growing up in Texas and Oklahoma, Ben Johnson was more famous than John Wayne to some of us. I knew him. I worked with him on a low budget film years ago, and we’d sit around at night while waiting for a shot.
I want Obama to have to weigh in on Ben Affleck as Batman. It’s about time Obama went to work.
I ran into Ben McKenzie a couple of times on the streets of L.A., and we hung out one time, and that’s it.
Republican senators such as Ben Sasse have championed smart, practical policies for working people that actually work.
I’m learning English at the moment. I can say ‘Big Ben’, ‘Hello Rodney’, ‘Tower Bridge’ and ‘Loo’.
My daughter, Anna, is almost 15, and my son, Ben, is almost 10.
Ben & Jerry’s is an indulgent dessert that should be eaten in moderation. You should not be replacing more than one meal a day with ice cream. We do not consider a pint or a tub of ice cream to be a single serving.
Ben Henderson is a unique challenge.
My highest score karaoke song is ‘Ben,’ by Michael Jackson.
The Fed is the biggest enemy of this economy. In fact, Ben Bernanke, as far as I’m concerned, he’s public enemy No. 1. We’re never going to have a recovery while this guy’s in charge.
In 2000, when my partner Ben Horowitz was CEO of the first cloud computing company, Loudcloud, the cost of a customer running a basic Internet application was approximately $150,000 a month.
I’d follow Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson anywhere.
I knew Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were really talented. As actors, they were both studly young men, and they had great writers’ chops.
Ben Affleck exec-produced a documentary for HBO called ‘Reporter’ about my 2007 win-a-trip journey. I take the trip each year partly to encourage young people to think about global humanitarian issues: I think blogs by a student may be more compelling for that audience than my own work.
My beauty tricks revolve around eyes. For the early morning shoots, I pop eye pads in the freezer the night before, and when I take them out in the morning they are already cold and active and are great under my eyes. I keep my eye pads right next to my red velvet Ben & Jerry’s in the freezer.
I’d rather have Ben Affleck feeling something than twenty minutes of punching CGI Zod. You want moments that resonate with your audience.
People say McGregor is tall and all that. He’s as tall as I am, or maybe even shorter. He might have a longer reach, but I’ve fought Nate Diaz and Cerrone, who had reach advantage, and fought Anthony Pettis and Ben Henderson.
Big Ben… hearing the chimes makes me feel at home.
It’s so interesting to watch Ben Stiller work because he just knows what’s funny.
I love Ben Affleck. I think he will be a great Batman. Ben can bring the humanity to all his parts. He can play the good guy, the bad guy, but behind that grin he’s got, there is always that humanity.
I beat Diaz, Pettis, Ben Henderson, Cerrone, and I earned it, man. I earned my title.
Conservatives, in general, are anti-immigrant for the same reasons they have always been anti-immigrant – a proud tradition in our nation of immigrants going back to the days of the Founders, when Ben Franklin thought we were going to be overrun by Germans. But Business likes illegal workers.
There was just a moment when I fell in love with singing, probably when I started listening to Ben Howard and his album ‘I Forget Where We Were.’ I fell in love with that album, and that album really made me fall in love with singing.
Language kills, and inflamed rhetoric of the kind that spews almost daily from the lips of Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, and others running for public office in this country should be condemned.
I’m a big fan of piano-based rock music like Elton John, Ben Folds, and even Queen.
People like Mo Ali, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Joe Root, they are looking to take attack to the opposition and that’s when they play their best.
I like that Ben & Jerry’s is willing to speak out about social and political issues that aren’t always safe – but are the right thing to do.
Ben Vereen is going to be on the show with me, too.
I’m not Ben Askren or a lot of these fighters. I’ve never called a reporter like, hey, I want to be on your show, book me, you know?
Neil Gaiman swooped into my life though another friend, Jason Webley, who knew we were fans of each other’s work and introduced us via email. Neil and I, like me and Ben, just hit it off instantly.
One, I had never worked with John Woo before and I wanted to see what that was like, and two, Ben Affleck is a friend, so it would be fun to work with him again.
In England, it’s now Sir Ben. Mister has just disappeared. It’s not even on my passport anymore. They’ve taken Mister away from me.
I’m like the Ben Affleck of crowd surfing.
I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller, who have carved a niche for themselves. I think doing different kind of films gives you longevity and the ability to set yourself apart.
I’ve become so earthy. And I never was earthy. I’m doing all kinds of different roles which are not at all like the intellectual and the legal mind of Ben Stone.
I think acting is a gift. I look at someone like Ben Kingsley, and he’s incredibly charismatic, even when he’s not acting. He’s an incredibly hard worker, and he has a very specific system that he does with his work.
No. 7 is not an easy position. The way you play is dictated by the pace of the game and you have to try to get quick runs. Even top players like Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes find it hard.
It makes me feel good that I can now sit there and go, I’ve worked with Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, all the great actors that I’ve worked with… Sir Ben Kingsley.
I got into house music thanks to Dutch master mixer Ben Liebrand and my friends at school.
Ben Cartwright was patterned after my father, who never saw ‘Bonanza.’ In that sense, my father will live for a long time.
So, yes, I wrote a script called ‘Ben Is Back’ that I got to make with a bunch of remarkable artists and craftspeople.
I grew up in Pittsburgh, and regularly, my parents would take us to the Holiday House Supper Club to see acts like Nancy Wilson, Sarah Vaughn, Ben Vereen, Freda Payne, Stephanie Mills, and The Temptations, to name a few.
Ben Carson is an incredibly honest guy.
When Tunisians overthrew Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in 29 days and Egyptians Hosni Mubarak in 18 days, it was an appropriate rebuke to dictators and Bin Laden.
I don’t think I could do what Woody Allen or Clint Eastwood or Ben Stiller do, where they direct a movie and they star in it. I would just be like, ‘Oh, I don’t even want to look at my face.’
I’ve been lucky enough with my NBA money to make some investments in some pretty cool things, whether it be partnering up with Ben Sturner and the Leverage Agency; being involved in an analytics company called Simatree; or creating a production company and working with brands and creating content in house.
I couldn’t believe how big Ben Affleck’s trailer was. It was like a spaceship – I remember thinking, I’d live in that.
