After watching my first World Series in 1977, I wanted to be Reggie Jackson. I bought a big Reggie poster. I ate Reggie candy bars. I entered a phase during which I insisted on having the same style of glasses Reggie had: gold wire frames with the double bar across.

The honeymoon phase always ends, for everyone.

I went through my rebellious phase, not in my teenage years, but around age 12. The year I decided I didn’t want to do entertainment anymore, I was discovered. And I couldn’t back down from that.

The way I played, Tottenham was the best phase of my career. It’s always a warm feeling when I think back.

Leaving the E.U. is only the first phase of the Brexiter agenda to shake us free of the laws, rules and rights that many see as a constraint on the implementation of their frighteningly rightwing vision of Darwinian capitalism.

I was never totally what we would now call ‘politically correct,’ even in my most militant phase. I always liked good food, good wines. I suppose it was because I had total confidence in myself.

Scarlett Johansson was wonderful in ‘Lost in Translation,’ and then, seemingly within a couple of weeks, she became completely Hollywoodised. I was shocked. I didn’t recognise her. I hope to God it’s just a phase.

I definitely understand not entirely fitting in. I think everyone has their own version of feeling out of place and I think one of the great things we have the ability to do is to know it’s all right. It’s OK to have that awkward phase.

My mother, all of her sisters and my siblings all went through a stage from the age of about 15 to 19 where they widened and then lengthened. Had I not been modelling, that would have been a phase that was in a family photo album rather than in Vogue.

Depression is real, and that really hit me hard. I was going through a phase where I wasn’t talking to no one. Only my son. Me and my son would do stuff, but I was talking to no one.

I started getting into clothes when I was really young. And then I went through a phase in middle school where I didn’t care at all. But after that, after high school, I really got into high fashion. Balmain, Givenchy, Louboutin, all that.

I had the longest awkward phase. I had braces for 3 years; I cut my own bangs too far back and they looked like a bowl cut, and I broke my nose twice.

Our first phase was inviting all the women Ambassadors who were here from other countries and trying to get in touch with all the peace centers around the country in order to focus on increasing the volume and activity toward peace.

‘Weedflower’ was already in the copyediting phase when I heard about the Newbery award, so it didn’t really influence my writing of that book, but since then, I have become more aware of having an audience.

There was a phase when I would just loaf around, doing nothing. It had put my mom under a lot of stress. I knew her stress stemmed from her love for me, yet I never paid attention to her feelings. When it finally hit me that my idleness was taking a toll on her, I was genuinely sad and depressed.

People were not even knowing that women’s cricket existed. And from that phase to today where people would want to follow women’s cricket, I think we have come a long way.

This change to a higher phase of alert is a signal to governments, to ministries of health and other ministries, to the pharmaceutical industry and the business community that certain actions now should be undertaken with increased urgency and at an accelerated pace.

I really like a lot of the old 2-tone ska. I definitely went through a phase where I was into The Specials and The Busters. But a lot of the ska revival – I never really have had an interest in that.

Everybody goes through a phase of fatigue, and I am no different. Re-inventing yourself in your profession is the key to deal with fatigue.

Racism is essentially natural, it’s old fashioned it’s an evolutionary phase that we’re going through. Ultimately it wont exist.

I had difficulty in grasping how music was made for films. It was a huge learning curve and the toughest phase of my life.

The idea of trust-fund guys who live in Brooklyn in their 30s is really interesting to me. There’s a time and a place where that kind of bohemian lifestyle is appropriate, soon after college, in your 20s. But there are people still living that many years later; they haven’t evolved to the next phase.

By the time I graduated from high school, though, I was in a bit of a rebellious phase towards everything I had known growing up.

I definitely went through my magic phase. I think all little boys do at some point or another – they get fascinated by magic tricks.

The industry doesn’t usually say nice things about my work. My films take a while till they are accepted as good and I think ‘Yennai Arindhaal’ too will go through that phase.

I’d love to become like Bill Murray, who was so funny on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and has gone on to do some of the landmark comedies people like. And then to add this whole other phase to his career with ‘Lost in Translation’ and ‘Rushmore.’ I always felt to be able to have something similar to that would be great.

I definitely was one angsty teen and I definitely went through the emo phase.

I truly believe the eating disorder is gone. The discovery of what was at the bottom of it lifted me, and I walked into a different phase of my life.

My son has taken liking for sports and is most of the time playing cricket and football. It is so much fun being with them, as I’m enjoying every phase of motherhood.

Miles Davis was a master. In every phase of his career, he understood that this music was a tribute to the African muse.

I believe Indian hockey itself is going through a major phase of transformation. We set our sight on winning the gold medal at the Asian Games. We have achieved that.

I’m a very practical actor, and having an artistic triumph that’s a commercial flop doesn’t do you any good, in any phase of show world.

Everyone is going to go through that phase of not liking their hair, but at the end of the day you’re going to regret that you ever put relaxer or anything in your hair.

I totally think there was a country hair phase. If you look at all the mullets, and Dolly Parton, and Reba’s hair, Tim McGraw’s hair, Blake Shelton’s hair, they definitely had their moments.
