The cultural contrast I saw between religions… Catholics have a lot of mediators, going through saints and Mary or whatever. Protestants in general say things to God directly.
She can be Mary Poppins but she can also be – I would never use the word ‘crude’ in the same sentence as Julie Andrews because she is so fine and beautiful – but she can be naughty and she doesn’t mind a good joke.
My admiration for ‘Mary Tyler Moore’ is very, very big because they went out on top.
I can’t do a Bloody Mary. But I like the idea of them. It’s got fresh vegetables in it.
Mary J. Blige has made the most improvement, to me, and the depth of the spirit and the soul in her music, the way she sings, gives her that ‘it’ factor.
On ‘Being Mary Jane,’ I learned to embrace sex symbol.
Mary Quant is my favourite fashion designer.
All the credit goes to Jesus Christ, Mother Mary, Shani Bhagwan and Ganpati. These are the four pillars of my destiny.
Let us wait in patience for the Christ-child whose own life depended on the lives of Mary and Joseph. The Word of God was made flesh. He came so that we might experience the fullness of time.
I was licensed and installed as 59th Vicar of St Mary the Virgin, Finedon, in Northamptonshire, in 2011.
Mariette is a nickname. My real name is Mary Loretta.
I hate it when people say, Mary Elizabeth, this may be hell, but the movie is going to be sooo good.
My mother, Mary, has been a guiding force for as long as I can remember through the examples she’s set as a single mother. She demonstrated her confidence and faith in me by investing everything in me and the business at a time when she had just lost everything.
In 1874, Mary Fraser accompanied her husband Hugh to Hong Kong, arriving hours after a typhoon had wrecked the island. Some 10,000 boat families had drowned in the harbour. There was no way to avoid the bloated bodies, and when Mary disembarked, she felt her foot land on something soft.
I’d like to collaborate with Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige.
I admired Mary’s work very much. From the time someone gave me ‘The Liars’ Club,’ I immediately went into a world where I grew up. And I remember, when I finished the book, I actually thought, ‘You know what, I need to write songs with her.’
I think Priyanka Chopra did a very good job in ‘Mary Kom.’
I actually did Shakespeare when I was at North Carolina School of the Arts. I studied with Gerald Freedman and Mary Irwin – it was fun; I enjoyed it.
I keep seeing the headline on articles that says something like ‘Mary Gauthier Helping Our Veterans.’ It’s troubling – and it’s condescending. Whatever I’m doing as a songwriter to help them tell their stories, they’re giving it back to me double, triple, quadruple.
I think it’s not so difficult to get a good atmosphere in St Mary’s.
Did you ever notice the color of Mary Poppins’ petticoats? They were kind of orange and apricot and red. I think she had a secret life going on there.
I have children, and this notion – that there might be a single book that introduces children to literature – terrifies me. But you could do worse than Mary Norton’s ‘The Borrowers.’ I loved it as a kid, and my kids love it, too.
Every generation comes upon the movie again, and then, invariably, the books have a spike in sales because people want to read more about Mary Poppins.
The videos I put on YouTube have expanded my audience beyond what I could have done at just a Hamburger Mary’s. People saw the videos, started booking me, and literally 40-plus countries and thousands of gigs later I can basically say that YouTube has bought me a house.
In ‘There’s Something About Mary’ and ‘Dumb & Dumber,’ I ended up improvising quite a bit of my scenes, and later I didn’t even remember what I’d said because I just winged it. When I went and saw the movie, I was as stunned as everyone else was.
I make a Bloody Mary at home with a dash of fish sauce, a little bit of coconut, and some lime juice. It gives the cocktail some South Asian flair.
‘Mary Poppins,’ the movie, was an object of mockery if you were a student in the ’60s, something to be laughed at.
My God, I think about way back in the day when we were running around in Mary Janes and Doc Martens, that whole 90210-inspired look. I’m glad that’s long gone.
I didn’t know the books and certainly didn’t know the tragic origin story of Mary Poppins in 1906 Australia.
I got interviewed by one writer who started with the line, ‘Mary Gauthier is a woman who clearly doesn’t care how she looks.’ I do too. It’s just that I’m not very good at it.
Look at someone like Mary Berry, for God’s sake, that woman is just such an inspiration… what’s to say you can’t do stuff for years and years and years?
I try to respect the rules of the silent movies and I tried to make signification to make sense, and also the crew were very good and the fact that we shot in LA in the real Hollywood, studios and houses. We shot in the bed of Mary Pickford, and you cannot be any more accurate than that, so that helped a lot.
I grew up listening to a lot of Simon & Garfunkel and Peter, Paul and Mary. I know that sounds dorky, but I always responded strongly to that kind of lyric-driven folk music.
Only comedians can talk about death, life, God and Virgin Mary. If I was a tragic actor, I couldn’t allow myself. But with this accent I can do it. I can talk with death in person because I am a clown. Yes. And I am proud to be a clown – very much.
You don’t have to win ‘Drag Race’ to really win. And I am living proof of that, thank you Mary J. Blige!
In all honesty, I didn’t love reading when I was a kid. I’d rather be running around in the woods or doing my best to scare the pants off all the children in the neighborhood by pretending my house was haunted or making them play Bloody Mary in the bathroom.
When Mary arrived, I felt a mixture of emotions, including panic and overwhelming love. I felt a great sense of responsibility, not just towards my child but also towards her father. There have been many influences on my life, but that thing of finally becoming a family person was the greatest.
In ‘Girlfriends,’ I was exploring the idea of having it all. In ‘Being Mary Jane,’ I was exploring the idea that you have to be the center of everything.
I like being a storyteller. I’m bored with myself; I like to write about others. I have a lot of names in my songs: Karen, Margaret, Mary Kay. Even if it’s about me, I want to put it through someone else. The music is the soundtrack to the story.
I love watching old sitcoms. It’s very inspiring to watch ‘Mary Tyler Moore’ and ‘Golden Girls.’ I have watched them over and over again for years.
There is so much talent in British fashion: a real cookie jar of different aesthetics with designers like Mary Katrantzou, Erdem, Christopher Kane, J. W. Anderson, and Simone Rocha.
I started singing backgrounds for Mary Mary and Usher during ‘Confessions.’ Then I jumped to working with Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott; jumped again to Kanye West, The Killers. I kept saying, ‘OK, this is the last time; then I get to do my music.’
If you’re working on a novel, whatever you do, don’t say, ‘I am almost finished with my novel.’ It’s worse than chanting Bloody Mary three times in front of a mirror.
I look back at my childhood, and the films that I remember the most are things like ‘Mary Poppins,’ ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,’ ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,’ ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’
Were this not Texas, were there not a state where there were no protections at all and where the law was clear on that, I think CBS and Mary Mapes and Dan Rather and all of us had a very good chance of winning. So this is an ongoing battle about an issue of principle.
I think, the ‘Van Dyke Show’ and ‘Mary Poppins’ are two of the best periods of my life. I had so much fun, I didn’t want it to end.
When I was at school studying biology, I wanted to be a medical researcher. I did work experience at St Mary’s Hospital in London, and I begged them to let me see the post mortems. So the first time I saw a naked male was at 15, when I saw an 89 year old man who had died of a brain hemorrhage.
I remember I was unsure about doing ‘Shameless.’ I’d never acted in anything so commercial. I read the script in the garden with my mum, Mary. She said it’s filthy dirty, but she said these people have love and sex and nothing else. That made me take the role.
Mary and I look eerily similar but other than that, the differences are pretty much night and day.
A long time ago, when all the grandfathers and grandmothers of today were little boys and little girls or very small babies, or perhaps not even born, Pa and Ma and Mary and Laura and Baby Carrie left their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin.
My dream has always been to live somewhere in London where the chimneys look as if they could have been used in ‘Mary Poppins.’
I was Mary Poppins for Halloween when I was 3, with lipstick and a carpetbag. And I was Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz’ in a production in my dad’s barn.
The younger Mary J. Blige, I would call her, she was very unaware, ignorant.
I love Opening Ceremony, Kenzo – anything Humberto Leon and Carol Lim touch. I drool over Christopher Kane, Mary Katrantzou, Delpozo, and Wes Gordon.
