I really enjoy playing villains, whether they’re realistic like Switchblade Sam or whether they’re a bit more over-the-top like Kruge in ‘Star Trek III’ or Judge Doom in ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit.’ It’s sort of a license just to be as bad as the script allows you to be – you can just go for it and have fun.
I’d like to make the film of Sam Selvon’s book ‘The Lonely Londoners.’
I’ve done commercials that Sam Mendes directed. Paul Feig directed me in a commercial.
Sam Smith is amazing.
I think there are probably a handful of real character actors in this business. The rest of us are recycling. So now I’m Sam Malone the editor. I’m Sam Malone the billionaire.
I love Sam Neill. The thing that I always say about him, and I think it’s true, is he’s so dry. When he’s serious, I think he’s joking; when he’s joking, I think he’s serious.
Wal-Mart has always paid low wages, or, as Sam Walton put it, ‘as little as we could get by with at the time.’
I started with Sam Cooke when I was 6 or 7 years old.
On slower days, when I was only needed for coverage or reaction shots, the set of ‘The Newsroom’ was better than therapy. Chris Chalk and I would debate life’s dilemmas… until Sam Waterston would chime in and set us both straight.
‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ made me want to make films. I am wild about the films of John Carpenter, Ridley Scott, Howard Hawks and Sam Peckinpah.
I think Sam Smith’s dad got a huge loan or something to help his career. Those things can help artists get attention, but I guess my song ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’ proved it’s about the song.
‘Spectator Books’ is presented by the genial Sam Leith. Leith has a little catch in his delivery that quickly becomes addictive. It’s things like this that give podcasts their charm.
I took opportunities, big or small, to show that I was a constant professional. I feel like the Sam Jackson of network TV drama.
Because of my song ‘Sam Stone,’ a lot of people thought I was interested in writing protest songs. Writing protest songs always struck me as patting yourself on the back.
It’s just wrong to work your whole life to build up a nest egg, build your own business – you pass away, and Uncle Sam can swoop in and take away nearly half of everything you’ve earned. Can you imagine that? Having to sell off most of your land just to keep it from the government, just to save the house.
My favorite zany horror flick is ‘Evil Dead 2.’ Sam Raimi is awesome! I saw this back in the day when I was younger. ‘Evil Dead’ was actually scary, and ‘Evil Dead 2’ was zany as hell. I don’t really watch ‘Army of Darkness’ though.
I’ve read comics all my life and have wanted to write a comic for as long as I can remember. Alex Barnaby and Sam Hooker seemed like the perfect team to make the move into the graphic medium.
When I did get married and then had children, it was Beatles’ songs I sang to them at night. As one of the youngest of 24 cousins, I had never held an infant or baby-sat. I didn’t know any lullabies, so I sang Sam and Grace to sleep with ‘I Will’ and ‘P.S. I Love You.’
I definitely think that myself and Sam will help the Timberwolves.
During the late ’50s, I had worked on the script of Ben-Hur in an office next to that of the producer Sam Zimbalist.
Right now, I’m worth a million dollars, and I owe Uncle Sam a million-and-a-half dollars, and I made a deal with him. I said, ‘Uncle Sam, I’m going to pay you 25 grand a month.’
I am a big PETA supporter, and their East Coast headquarters is the Sam Simon building, and their West Coast headquarters is in the Bob Barker building.
Presidents have a right to certain prerogatives, including the expectation of a certain deference. He’s the president; this is history. But we seem to have come a long way since Ronald Reagan was regularly barked at by Sam Donaldson, almost literally, and the president shrugged it off.
When wearing a trench coat, you’re allowed to act like Humphrey Bogart when he was detective Sam Spade.
Actors act… Their job is to become this character. And I have, in fact, seen Sam Heughan become Jamie and Caitriona Balfe become Claire right before my eyes. It was an astonishing transformation.
I’ve played under Alan Pardew, Gianfranco Zola, Avram Grant, Sam Allardyce, Alan Curbishley and Slaven’s made me captain.
Being 6’7′ as a point guard and playing with Sam Cassell and Cuttino Mobley on the Clippers really helped refine my post game and play with my back to the basket.
I love peas and can happily tuck into a big bowl, but my favourite vegetables are Brussels sprouts. I talk about them so much that my fans call themselves Sam’s Sprouts.
It’s my firm conviction that when Uncle Sam calls, by God we go, and we do the best that we can.
My parents took me to Sam Ash, and I got a pretty cheap setup – a MIDI keyboard and one of those cheaper mixers – but it was dope, though; it was something. That was kind of how it was: just going to school, skating back home, making music, telling my parents I did my homework.
Getting to do shows with Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, and Sam Hunt is just awesome. It’s so inspiring because I grew up such fans of Lady A and Keith, and to be able to sing my songs on the same stage as them and then stand side stage and watch them is just a really special thing.
