I’m not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum ‘n’ bass record.
If you have a traditional view of economics, you’re probably thinking of Ben Bernanke making Fed policy, or the guys creating financial derivatives at Goldman Sachs.
I like Ben Stein. I think he’s funny, creative, and an insightful commentator on a host of issues.
I like coming back home. Do it every July Fourth. Everybody’s cooking, and I’m just being Ben, just Ben, like the little kid I was running around the neighborhood.
As a child, I walked with my friends to Rosa Parks Elementary and then to Ben Franklin Middle School. I rode Muni to Galileo High School. And thanks to amazing teachers who believed in me and supported me along the way, I was able to matriculate to another public school: the University of California at Davis.
I greatly admire Justice Thomas. I think he is incredible, and he is very humble. He is rarely heard from. But his spoken word is powerful. He’s an example of everything that is right about this country, just like with Ben Carson.
Ben Askren, he is a very strong wrestler, probably the best in the division, I think. But then again, when you’re in the fight game like this, some of the other things you have to improve. It can’t just be wrestling all the time. You got to continue to work on your striking, get better at that.
As a kid, I wanted to be a musician but also aspired to be Andy Griffith’s lawyer character, Ben Matlock.
Of course, the kids who had never heard of a person called Ben E. King were then aware of the name associated with the song. That gave a tremendous lift to me as an artist.
Ben Carson was appointed to be the HUD secretary. He knows nothing about the mission of HUD. He doesn’t care about people in public housing. He believes that if you are poor, it is your own fault. And he doesn’t know the difference between an immigrant and a slave.
I’m a big-guy guy. I look at guys like Shaq, Ben Wallace, guys who play inside and play tough. I don’t pay much attention to the little guys; I like the big guys who do the dirty work.
Based on my experience, I believe that Ben Sasse has the right policy background, a notable commitment to public service – and, perhaps most importantly, the courage – to help renew our country.
Ben Askren is a joke. The guy has no skills.
Reading ‘Search Sweet Country’ is like reading a dream, and indeed, at times, it feels like the magical landscapes of writers like the Nigerian Ben Okri or the Mozambican Mia Couto.
Ben Askren, the only thing we have in common… I have a real belt. He has some belts from back in the day that don’t even matter anymore.
I looked up and saw the shape of a heart made by the silhouette of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon kissing.
Ben was more improvisational, and relied less on methodology, and basically is a guitarist who switched to bass, whereas Jeff has a more traditional approach to playing bass in a band, and has a great sense of what his band sounds like, and we lock up nicely.
Ben Wheatley continues to be one of the most original voices in contemporary film.
I do sometimes joke that I’m Tarzan and Ben’s Jane when it comes to dealing with spiders or if there’s dead things in the garden.
I first came to London when I was 22 and working as a roadie. Having watched the ‘News At Ten’ all my life, I thought Big Ben was going to be massive, but I was underwhelmed.
One day I’m lugging walls back and forth in Louisville, and the next day I’m at Cannes giving interviews next to Ben Kingsley. I’m nowhere near cynical or jaded enough not to be incredibly thrilled by that.
I have a beautiful story with my original trainer from the age of 7 to the age of 20 when he passed away. Ben Getty believed in me before anybody believed in me. That I’d be champion of the world, that I’d be a pay per view fighter, an exciting fighter.
If people like Edison had waited to make every – or Ben Franklin or some of those people had waited to solve every problem on Earth before they did their research or before they were curious about doing something new, we’d never have made a lot of the progress we have.
I’m a sucker for gag reels and teaser trailers for new seasons. One of the great parts of panels, especially on a show like ‘Supernatural,’ which can be so dark, it’s fun to get up there and laugh and remember we’re only telling a story. Seeing Eric Kripke and Ben Edlund up there being so funny always makes me laugh.
‘Tower Heist?’ That is a movie that it’s hard not to name-drop, but, it’s a crew of five, and it’s Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, me, Matthew Broderick, and Casey Affleck. And we’re like, on a heist.
I’m one of those people, in any country I’m in, if somebody could just put me in a car or a bus, I’ll look out the window and say, ‘OK, there’s the Tower of London, there’s Buckingham Palace, there’s Big Ben,’ and if it all takes about five minutes, perfect. I’ve seen all of it and I can go home.
Everyone saw my karate stance against Ben Henderson and Daniel Straus. I pretty much wasn’t hit in those fights, and my attacks were almost 100 percent accurate.
I have always loved Ben Folds, he’s like an idol of mine, a hero of mine.
John Hawkes is amazing. I really want to meet that man; he’s so good. Him and Ben Foster, and I’m a big fan of Nick Stahl – those are my three guys.
The thing that struck me most after first viewing ‘The Sessions’ was the charm of Mark O’Brien and the intimacy that the director, Ben Lewin, manages to capture perfectly on screen. I did not feel forced or cajoled in any way into believing the story.
Do I drink in public? Certainly I drink in public! Ben Cartwright wouldn’t, but I do.
It looked like ‘The Sound of Music’ would even surpass ‘Ben Hur,’ and I thought it would be unfair for me to have done both. I thought I’d leave something for somebody else. That’s a quip.
Ben Stiller, who I love and who is a friend and is such an incredible actor – he’s hilarious, obviously, but I thought his performance in ‘Greenberg’ was extraordinary.
I think Ben Getty would have been a tremendous fan of Canelo Alvarez.
The upside to smoking is that you get to be social. I was looking for a light when I bumped into Ben Harper’s manager. A couple of days later, Ben and I were in the studio.
It is greed or financial difficulty that makes people fix matches, not gaining an edge over rivals, so it is different from say Lance Armstrong or Ben Johnson.
There’s no question that Ben Shapiro loves to provoke college students.
Ben Askren had never been knocked out when I got a hold of him.
Ben Henderson, he had never been knocked out before fighting me.
Ben Crump is the most dangerous man in America.
Sometimes I have to pause to make the distinction between Ben the teenager and Ben the businessman.
First of all, Marty Foster is a really good fellow. No. 2, Google or YouTube the time he called Ben Zobrist out on a strike three against Joe Nathan couple years ago that gave Joe Nathan his 300th save.
The most important thing to Ben and me was starting a family, so as soon as we got engaged, we booked Gurney’s in Montauk – which is just a few miles down the beach from our summer home – as our wedding venue a full year and a half out, and then we immediately started trying to get pregnant.
Ben Hopkins is a very nervous, neurotic kind of person who is afraid of not being liked by people all the time. But, Monster-Me doesn’t know who those people even are.
If someone had asked me when we started ‘Bonanza’ what was Ben Cartwright like, I couldn’t have articulated very much.
I was 14 when I decided I wanted to start doing music and stuff. I was a really big fan of Ben Howard, and he put out a really amazing album in 2014, and then, after being inspired by my dad and Lady Gaga and Ed Sheeran, I wanted to start writing songs.
When Ben and I first got married and we first had kids, I felt I needed to prove we could still do it and I could still work separately from Ben and I could still work with him. I just let go of all of that now. I said to him, ‘For me, a little bit goes a long way.’
Ben Rome was a perfectionist. He checked every letter that went out to make sure the English was correct.
Ben Carson said black people worked for less. I have breaking news: we built this joint for free. We didn’t build it for less.
It was just a typical London flat, but it was in a great neighborhood. It was across from the Playboy Club, diagonally. From one balcony you could read the time from Big Ben, and from the other balcony you could watch the bunnies go up and down.
The Globe is a missing monument. There’s no existing example of a theater from Shakespeare’s time. You have Roman theaters, Greek theaters, all kinds of theaters, but none in which the plays of Shakespeare, Ben Jonson and Marlowe were performed. Scholars feel that it would be of immense value to have one.
Everyone wants to focus on what Ben Simmons can’t do, which is shoot and try to rush him into being a range shooter. I think Simmons in Philadelphia has done a good job in focusing what he does great versus what he doesn’t do as well.
Casey Affleck is a really good friend of mine. I know Casey a lot better than I know Ben, even though Ben and I have worked together a lot.
I’m no Kenneth Branagh or Ben Stiller. I’m not that single-minded, ‘I’m producing it, directing it, and starring in it’ kind of person; that’s not me.
