I would do any honest thing under the sun to know C. S. Lewis, and so am very grateful to you.
As far as spiritual influences in Christian music, I would say Crystal Lewis – a lot of her songs especially. The ministry she has through her songs has really hit me.
Richard Lewis has this incredible ability to look like he’s just… you know it’s an act that’s been honed. What you have to do in standup is create spontaneity, somehow; even though you’ve done this act a million times, you gotta look like you’re almost just thinking of it now, to make it entertainer.
Like my parishioner Congressman John Lewis, I believe that voting is a sacred undertaking, and we must keep marching until we secure the sacred right to vote for every eligible American.
Just as Jack Lewis could go through a whole life without meeting someone that he loved, so you can go through whole career on the stage, never meeting a play that says the kind of things you feel deeply about!
Whenever I see John Lewis, I invariably say, ‘Thank you.’ And I will never stop. I don’t know how he’s still standing, because what he endured took courage and strength that I don’t know that I have.
You watch guys like Ray Lewis, you watch guys like Brian Urlacher, everything they accomplished was dope. But it was cool to see them do it for one team, one city and really cement their legacy where they were at.
I always had dreamed one day Bruce Buffer’s going to be introducing me… Derrick ‘The Black Beast’ Lewis… and I just always pictured him saying it.
Joe E. Lewis said, ‘Money doesn’t buy happiness but it calms the nerves.’ And that is how I feel about a film being well-received.
I remember the first time my friend Colin Lewis, who used to be a judge with me on a show on MuchMusic called ‘disBAND,’ told me, ‘I think I just found your next favorite artist to adore.’ He sent me The Weeknd, and he was completely spot on. The Weeknd is literally on every playlist I have.
Yeah, I’m the Brit who isn’t Lewis Hamilton that woke up and realised he was good. I got that tag because I was young, flying around in jets and driving fast cars. I always took my driving seriously, but I suppose I enjoyed life… But I’m not a playboy.
I lost to Lennox Lewis in a very controversial decision.
I see all these posts saying, ‘I met Lewis Capaldi,’ and in the picture, I look like a melting hippo.
I’ve always thought Juliette Lewis was great.
I’m the Jerry Lewis of crime fiction.
I initially thought ‘Lewis’ was a terrible idea. The character had very much been Morse’s work donkey and sounding board. But I was persuaded to do it, thinking if it was a flop, at least ITV would stop asking me. But the pilot took off, so we got back on this moving train, and we’ve never looked back.
I’m not, like, Daniel Day Lewis. Yet. I will get there!
What ‘Billions’ does so brilliantly is they just make it a non-issue. Damien Lewis’ character says, ‘Those are the pronouns you use? Great, let’s get down to business. How can you make me money?’
In college, I started to get soaked in the materials. Subsequently, I worked with R.W.B. Lewis, Robert Penn Warren, and Cleanth Brooks on a history of American literature – I did that for seven or eight years. In the course of that work, my interest in Faulkner deepened and has been sustained ever since.
Our daughter’s name Arwynn comes from Arwen in ‘Lord of the Rings’ because my wife and I met for the first time in the Eagle and Child pub in Oxford where J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis used to go to read out their stories to one another.
I would never try to fill John Lewis’s shoes. I can only be myself – my authentic self.
Ray Lewis, I’ve grown up watching Ray Lewis. Just watching his intensity, his passion for the game, his love for the game, his work ethic. Everything in a linebacker that you want to be is in Ray Lewis, from leadership qualities, all that.
I was reading C.S. Lewis with my mom, and she was pointing out that he was dead, and I’m like, ‘What do you mean he’s dead?’ We were in this world he created, and he was gone from the Earth. Yet in those black marks on a white page, his imagination lived on, his voice lived on. That is so miraculous.
It was pleasing to see Jon Lewis confirmed as England’s new bowling coach. I actually lived with Jon for a couple of years as part of the deal when I first signed for Sussex.
The ground game of Derrick Lewis isn’t that good.
I believe the path to a long career is to keep the audience guessing. Daniel Day Lewis is my absolute hero from that point of view. I literally will pay to see anything he does because I know it’s going to be something different than I have already seen.
Hey, you can’t play football forever unless you’re Brett Favre or Ray Lewis.
My dad came over from Ireland when he was 13 and lived on the streets, working on building sites, and has just retired from his job delivering furniture for John Lewis. My mum has had the same job for 30 years as a sales assistant at Marks and Spencer. They’ve always been really great; they just want me to be happy.
Richard Lewis is the master at taking a joke that he’s told a million times in a row in the past year, on the road, and making it look like he’s pulling it out of thin air.
I had my serious side – I idolized Bobby Kennedy; he was my role model. But so was Jerry Lewis.
There’s no map for you to follow and take your journey. You are Lewis and Clark. You are the mapmaker.
If I could start with anybody, I would initially draft Tom Brady. Then I would go get Ray Lewis, and then maybe an offensive lineman, or somebody like Adrian Peterson.
I think the Lewis and Clark Expedition was the greatest undertaking in American History. I think landing a man on the moon pales next to it.
I’m very serious about becoming a dramatic actor. I don’t want to play cameo parts walking on as Carl Lewis the athlete. I want to go on stage or screen and be taken seriously.
I loved Carl Perkins, Jerry lee Lewis… not only were they personal friends.
I had three influential teachers. The first was Uta Hagen. The second two, Bobby Lewis and my late husband, Charles Kakatsakis, were both from the Actors Studio.
We had a great staff in college, so after I got to the league, I’d already seen stuff I knew. Then it was enhanced, playing the game with great guys like Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata, Chris McAlister.
Lewis Robinson’s first novel, ‘Water Dogs,’ is stuffed with snow. Open practically any page of this book, and crystals will shake out.
I don’t recall exactly when I first began reading about Lewis and Clark and their Corps of Discovery, but I suspect that it was in fourth grade.
I’ll cough up the bitter truth right now, at the risk of losing my Feminism Club Decoder Ring: I didn’t go see ‘Inside Out’ for Amy Poehler, though she’s terrific. I went to see my dark prince, Lewis Black.
I plug into a lot of old rock & roll. Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis – I love all that stuff.
I decided I’d never do a series again, but I was offered a pilot for a series through Eddy Murphy Productions, and that was the gig that got me Parker Lewis.
I wasn’t jumping like Carl Lewis, but I still won an Olympic title.
I think we have to be fair in saying at this point that neither Roosevelt nor Lewis realized the peril to which they were exposing both the unions and the country.
In my first movie, That Night, with Juliette Lewis, I had a scene with two other girls where we applied a cream to our chests to make our breasts grow. I was 10.
My influences were Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry.
After marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma as a young man, John Lewis went on to become a legendary leader for civil rights alongside other giants of the movement like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth.
I had a wonderful, an incredible dialect coach, Brendan Gunn, from Belfast, who has worked with Brad Pitt and Daniel Day Lewis, and me.
I’ve been influenced by poets as diverse as Dylan Thomas, Lewis Carroll, and Edgar Allan Poe.
I still think about the first time I met Lennox Lewis, and he took the time out to talk to me, and he showed me different techniques. I’ll never forget. Lennox was one of those guys that set the standard. He’s a hard act to follow. But I love a challenge.
My favourite actor is Daniel Day Lewis. He’s the finest actor in Hollywood. I’ve studied his performances.
I don’t know why Sinclair Lewis fell in love with me. He didn’t get even the slightest response from me. But his letters were lovely. And the poems he wrote me were lovely. I used some of them in my book.
I’m a huge Michael Lewis fan.
One thing ‘not right’ on the 50th anniversary of the Selma marches is the sad fact that the Edmund Pettus Bridge hasn’t been renamed the John Lewis Bridge.
I am Damian Lewis, not Daniel Day-Lewis.
Whenever I catch a chunk of an Adam Sandler comedy on cable, it looks as badly shot and goofily tossed off as a Jerry Lewis gag reel once he hit the late downslide with ‘Hardly Working’ and ‘Cracking Up.’
As far as a guy like Ray Lewis is concerned, you know he’s going to be around the ball all the time.
I thought Ray Lewis was 6-6, 275 pounds, all muscle. I did a commercial with him before I even got drafted to the Baltimore Ravens. I was like, ‘Oh, you’re not that tall.’ But it’s just something about that guy.
