I get very nervous whenever I think about it. I’ve never done a serious play, and I have such awe of the woman – she’s really my only idol. It’s going to be a big stretch – certain people come out on stage and your face muscles automatically tense and you get ready to smile.
My hip-hop fans are a little spoiled – they want a particular level of lyricism and energy that I’m known for. When they don’t get that, it takes a little time for them to open up to it. But electronic fans are as free as the music. On social media, they were so excited and loud; they’re in awe.
I have met the people who run the world, and I am not in awe of them.
It just kind of puts you in awe a lot of times. To see fans, and especially kids, really want a bobblehead or really want your jersey, that’s something you only dream of. Sometimes we take it for granted, don’t understand the importance of it, how a little bobblehead can make somebody’s day.

In awe, I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebony void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang, for ever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought… I must put a roof on this toilet.

I’m in awe of the universe, but I don’t necessarily believe there’s an intelligence or agent behind it.

The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic.
As biologists, we contemplate with admiration and awe the wondrous array of sophisticated cell interactions and recognitions evolved in the T cell immune system, which must be a model for other similarly complex biological systems of highly differentiated organisms.

I’m slightly in awe of writers, such as Sophie Hannah, who follow outlines.
I can’t help seeing ‘Waste Land’ as the third in a triptych with my earlier films ‘Devil’s Playground’ and ‘Blindsight,’ and not least in the awe and gratitude I feel for the group of people who were courageous enough to share their stories with us – and to live lives so rich in inspiration for us all.
