For me, being a part of the ASPCA is a great way to tie in my love for animals and my love for New York City. Whether it’s fighting puppy mills or working with the NYPD to prosecute people who abuse animals or breaking up fight rings, it’s an incredible part of my city life.
I tape every game I can get my hands on. Every game that’s on TV, I tape it. My daughter, Terry Hill, lives in Eureka, and she has a satellite dish, so she tapes what I can’t get. I try to keep up with what everybody is doing, so if the phone rings, I’ll be ready.
The hype around Ronda is incredible and it’s created this aura of invincibility. If you let that play with your mind, you’ll be beaten before the bell rings. She’s a great fighter, but I know I can beat her and I don’t let that aura of invincibility bother me.
There was a combination of not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, but also really not wanting to be stuck in Lord of the Rings for the rest of my life, and being desperate to kind of make sure that I could do something else with my life.
I think ‘The Lord Of The Rings’ is the mother of all cult books, because you can be in that cult and not even know you’re in it.
When I played Gollum in ‘Lord of the Rings,’ if I was climbing up the side of a mountain, which I physically did, you know, I was on every single occasion swimming through streams, all of that, that wasn’t captured. That was filmed on 35 millimeter, and for certain of those shots, it was rotoscoped and painted over.
Young adults living with a stutter is hard work. How do they handle job interviews? What do they do when the phone rings? How do they ‘chat someone up’? All these things the average person takes for granted prove to be a stammerer’s biggest challenge.
My vision is one of celebrations and banquets, diplomas and banners, rings and parades.
They were the books to read, ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ A rite of passage going through life.
My mother collects engagement rings.
Facebook it turns out, is like MySpace but it’s not scary. There aren’t a lot of angry looking people with nose rings and um, issues.
To get an Oscar would be an incredible moment in my career, there is no doubt about that. But the ‘Lord of the Rings’ films are not made for Oscars, they are made for the audience.
It is very gratifying to see the music from ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy find a new life on the concert stage as it is performed by different orchestras and choruses throughout the world.
I love, love, love fantasy, like ‘Lord of the Rings’ and things like that.
I have always made my own jewelry. I particulary love emeralds and black diamonds, and I’m always wearing large cocktail rings.
I don’t think Brian Cox does ‘The Wonders of the Solar System’ because he believes the world would be a better place if people understood about the rings of Saturn; I just think he finds physics extremely interesting. It brings him joy, and he wants to spread the love. I feel the same about economics.
My favourite all-time work of fiction: Lord of the Rings. My favourite all-time nonfiction book: Guns, Germs, and Steel. Ask me again next week, you’ll get a different answer.
Voyager found Saturn to be a planet with a complex interior, atmosphere, and magnetosphere. In its rings – a vast, gleaming disk of icy rubble – the mission recorded signs of the same physical mechanisms that were key in configuring the early solar system and similar disks of material around other stars.
If you want to have the clarity and steadiness to deal with that ‘3:00 A.M. phone call,’ you should better have made sure that you’re not running on empty when that phone rings.
I always wear rings and cuffs from Made Her Think because designer Meredith Kahn is my friend and is one of my fashion idols. Everything she creates is really fresh.
It’s not what you say or how you act. At the end of the day, when all is said and done, it’s what you do when the bell rings that really matters.
Middle age is when you’re sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn’t for you.
My hubby makes a mean salmon steak at the grill, but he leaves all the sides up to me. I love to grill and roast vegetables. I also experiment with baking instead of frying some things, like onion rings. I even make biscuits with coconut oil these days.
Before ‘Lord of the Rings,’ some people would have just classed Peter Jackson as a horror director. But there is a mind there.
I don’t perceive my role as a newsman at all. I’m a comedian from stem to stern. You can cut me open and count the rings of jokes.
The Olympic Rings tattoo has played its part and will continue to motivate me.
All my favorite books and movies are franchises like ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Lord of the Rings,’ so that was always the dream, that maybe I’ll get to write a series of my own.
I happen to be a huge ‘Lord of the Rings’ fan. I do an annual marathon of the extended editions.
‘The Sword of Shannara’ is about two brothers who find themselves on an epic quest to save humanity. It borrows from ‘Lord of the Rings’ but is still original in its own right. I read it in three days, then reread it, then went out and found every single book Terry Brooks ever wrote, and read all those.
I’m a really big ‘Lord of the Rings’ fan. I have all the extended editions.
Lord of the Rings is a good thing for us because it opened the door for the genre in general. Le Guin’s stories are very different from Lord of the Rings.
My husband and I click wedding rings sometimes and say, ‘By the power of the Castle of Greyskull!’
I had the lunchbox that cleared the cafeteria. I was very unpopular in the early grades. Because I hung out with my grandfather, I started to bring my lunchbox with sardine sandwiches and calamari that I would eat off my fingers like rings. I was also always reeking of garlic.
My very, very first moment on set on ‘Lord of the Rings’ in 2000 was me in a lycra suit, six and a half thousand feet up on a mountain in New Zealand, standing in front of 250 crew who were all wondering what I was doing – myself included.
The real Stephen Colbert is a practicing Catholic. He teaches Sunday school. He can recite chapter and verse of chapter and verse – from both the King James Bible and ‘The Lord of the Rings.’
The questions that we scientist have about Saturn’s rings are the questions that an ordinary person might be moved to ask when first seeing them, you know. What caused them? How did they get there? How long have they been around? How long are they going to last?
I actually watched ‘Lord of the Rings’ right when it came out, so maybe 2001 or 2002 or whenever that was. But I watched those movies, and I ended up loving them so much that I found every behind-the-scenes feature and every sort of ‘making-of’ clip they had.
I would like to see a fierce Fantasia mixed with Blade Runner, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars all in one. That’s the kind of movies I want to make.
I don’t like telephones: I don’t like when they ring. Just because it rings, you have to pick it up. I don’t even like opening mail; I’m weird.
To the proud, the applause of the world rings in their ears; to the humble, the applause of heaven warms their hearts.
I think ‘The Lord of the Rings’ holds perhaps a deeper place in people’s hearts than ‘The Hobbit’ the book does.
Trust the process. If I can’t trust you to go to class, how can I trust you on the field? If you want rings, want to go to the league, want to be great, trust the process.
I have enough rings to cover both hands, but that is crass. There is a fine line between looking nice and looking over. Sometimes, I look at myself and say, ‘Craig, that is over.’ You have to be careful.
As I meet more people who were my heroes, I see there is something about them that rings true with all I’ve ever read and heard about them, and that’s all that really matters.
Mike Webster’s death was significant. Iron Mike. The best center in the NFL. Nine-time Pro Bowler. Hall of Famer. Four Super Bowl rings. He had played in more games – 220 of them – than any other player in Steelers history.
Did you happen to catch the film I did between ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Kong?’ It was a nice little Jennifer Garner comedy, ’13 Going on 30,’ and I play her boss. In my big scene, I get to moonwalk – pretty well, I thought – to Michael Jackson.
If we provide the young with a strong foundation, we can leave behind a legacy substantially greater than most are able to bequeath. As for the women, the old adage that you invest in a woman, you invest in a generation, still rings true today.
I know firsthand how much work has usually gone into a screenplay, so if there’s something that rings false or a line that I would think would need a tweak or something, I will think long and hard before I even recommend changing it. In that sense, I’m very faithful to the scripts that I get – if they’re good scripts.
I collect rings from every country that I compete in, and I swap them around and wear different ones occasionally. I have about 10.
Now we’re e-mailing and tweeting and texting so much, a phone call comes as a fresh surprise. I get text messages on my cell phone all day long, and it warbles to alert me that someone has sent me a message on Facebook or a reply or direct message on Twitter, but it rarely ever rings.
