I know people are pretty well embarrassed just at the mention of colon cancer. Sticking a tube in you to find out what’s wrong is not a nice thing. But I can tell them, a 30- or 40-minute test is worth it. We have to make them feel more comfortable about getting screened.

Among famous traitors of history one might mention the weather.

It’s an institution that was born with my brother Chetan and me. I did it for him. I was becoming a big star in the late 1940s, and he needed a company to make films. So when he left Navketan, I brought in Goldie, and when Goldie left, I carried on alone. No book on Indian cinema is complete without mention of Navketan.

When I was a kid, I looked up to an Olympian superstar. I won’t mention his name but when I asked for his autograph he said, ‘no.’

I like to read novels where the author seems knowledgeable, like someone you know you could walk calmly next to through a complicated situation, and he or she would be alive to its meaning and ironies. And you wouldn’t even have to mention them out loud to each other.

It’s funny: a lot of roles I do read for mention physical presence – like, ‘built like a quarterback’ – and for me, it’s pretty boring because I don’t want that to be the most important thing. I’m not trying to be Dwayne Johnson.

In my wide travels across the world and my meetings with various heads of states, be that Africa or South Asia, Singapore or in high level meetings in the U.S., U.K. or Japan, one common mention is about Dr. Singh’s extraordinary reputation as a Wise Man, an outstanding Economist and a fine Gentleman.

Every time we have a chance to mention it, we say we’re from Staten Island. Because of some of the stereotypes, sometimes Staten Island gets a bad rap, and we’re in a position to at least try to maybe change that perception.

After moving from Montreal (where French vs.English is the only conflict) to New York (where everyone is obsessed with race) it was impossible to ignore how intellectually lazy and knee-jerk people are when it comes to any mention of ethnicity.

There is a real danger that kids won’t engage with cricket when there are so many other opportunities to use their time in other sports, not to mention video-gaming, and generally long-form cricket doesn’t turn them on.

To claim that ISIS is Islamic is egregiously inaccurate and empirically unsustainable, not to mention insulting to the 1.6 billion non-violent adherents of Islam across the planet.

The next thing I would mention, and warn you against, is profaneness. This you know is forbidden by God.

People pump gas and then they go in the store and pick up some things and pay for them, and they forget to mention the gas.

Positive thinking is the key to success in business, education, pro football, anything that you can mention. I go out there thinking that I’m going to complete every pass.

One child must never be set above another, even in casual conversation, not to mention in speeches that circle the globe.

It’s a weird thing where, especially in jazz, you have to totally mention cutting sessions and people one-upping each other and people being super, super tough on each other. And out of it emerge these genius musicians.

A lot of people tell me now I’m their inspiration. They say, ‘I don’t play baseball,’ and then they mention whatever – engineer, doctor, college student, high school student – but they’re hurt because, for some reason, people feel shame about themselves or embarrassed because they are short or skinny or fat or whatever.

Depend upon it that if a man talks of his misfortunes there is something in them that is not disagreeable to him; for where there is nothing but pure misery there never is any recourse to the mention of it.

You can’t pretend there has ever been anyone come close to doing what I did. Nobody you could name could touch me, and I’m talking about nobody who’s around now, nobody who was around in my prime, and nobody who was around any time you can mention outta your mouth.

Sometimes I wonder: What are the children thinking? And sometimes I wonder why the hell I’m not buying a tree like the other neighbors. After all, there is no mention in Christianity of Christmas trees, and even if there were – is there any good reason why I shouldn’t be buying some red stockings?

There’s been a big buzz about the Charlatans in the last couple of years. I’ve heard the word Charlatans more in the last few years than I’d heard it for the previous 20 years. People would interview me for years and never even mention the Charlatans.

Nothing scares me, because I used to think I was indestructible. Now I know I’m indestructible, not to mention my spine is indestructible. It’s all titanium.

It’s of course important to mention that when DJing, I’m building my own story through the music. I’m figuring out what song to play next, what song to play after that, and how the two will blend together. How the emotion is going to develop from one song to another. So I first build that storyline.

At the end of the day, everything is God’s plan, and he cares about what we do. He cares about our hearts, how we play the game, and how we treat people. He’s definitely involved with how we handle sports and not just the outcome of it. I’m proud when athletes mention God in any way.

I mention the need of cooperation and confidence among the men who work, no matter what may be their relative ranks, because it is the vital factor underlying everything. Only as we are willing to work today, work as we never have worked before, will civilization survive.

So you can say whatever you want and quote me however you want about politics and make the next payday, and that’s fine because I’m making that deal with you, but just mention the movie along the way, OK?

I don’t do Jewish stuff because I don’t want people to be left out. If I mention the Torah in Alabama, it’s not going to go down that well. I used to do some Jewish jokes because when I started, I used to play lots of Jewish country clubs.

I’d like to thank my family and friends for their continual support over the years and to all those involved in helping me develop as a cricketer of which there are too many to mention.

Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do.

Take my gay-hairdresser routine. You’ll let your hairdresser say things to you that you wouldn’t let your parents say. My hairdresser will say the funniest things, so I asked him if I could put him in my routine – you know, make fun of him in a good way. He said, ‘Oh, mention my name, mention my name!’

When a new generation watches the films, people might mention that it has improved their lovemaking. I guess it’s because it isn’t threatening. It was very sweet and delicate.

When I started, with films like ‘The Bay Boy’ and ‘Stand by Me’, I look back on those interviews and I’m amazed; there’s no mention of my father; it’s not even ‘son of Donald Sutherland.’ I caught a bit of a break in that it never felt like a weight to me.

If you mention the Lakers, you think about Kobe.

Mention Hubert Sumlin, as well, because Hubert’s a great man, and again, you know, I don’t play the guitar very good, but when I’m playing this kind of music, I always have him in my mind. I wish I could play like Hubert.

With success came an ever-growing burden of responsibility. I lived with a near-constant low-level anxiety that I would make a mistake that would not only threaten my career, but also my brothers’ – not to mention the livelihoods of many people who work with us or for us.

I simply love coming to Chennai. My wife always complains, saying, ‘You literally run at the mention of Chennai – I wonder what it is about that place!’ I love how everyone is active here 24/7. Even at 5 A.M., there are people going about their day. Also, I love how respectful and polite Chennaiites are.

You cannot mention Harlem Heat without mentioning Sherri Martel at the same time.

I knew I wanted to fight. It’s a great way to continue competing and not to mention actually make money. You can make a career out of it.

First of all, there’s no mention of political parties in the Constitution, so you begin American history with not only no political conventions but also no parties.

Just two words are enough to drive away the DMK members from the House. They are running away at the mention of ‘Katchatheevu’ or ‘prohibition.’

If ever you want to get rid of somebody you don’t want to talk to, just mention God. They’re out of there.

When you have an actor on set who is playing themselves in a movie that is about the most cathartic, most traumatizing event of their lives, you don’t even have to mention that.

There is an overwhelming amount of information available to us all on the web each day, not to mention what is shared with us by our family, friends, fans, and followers. This necessitates the need to filter through all that information and to decide for ourselves where to put our attention.

Keanu has such generosity and intelligence, not to mention a warmth that I’m eager to tap into. We’re all incredibly excited that he’s agreed to help us bring ‘To the Bone’ to life.

The review I’ve been most offended by came when I played Hamlet. I’d always prided myself on being an ‘invisible actor’ and not getting in the way of the play. But this review didn’t mention me once. That’s worse than being insulted.

The distance between me and my readers is the Internet. I can communicate with them and respond to every email I get or every mention on Twitter.

I always hear commentators talking about squads that have been around and that have won things; they always mention the experience of winning and knowing what it takes to win. They have only got that through winning trophies and winning competitions.

Actually, being a hero is not easy. You have to dance around trees, not to mention all the odd and unnatural things you have to do.

People just want to hear some common sense… and I bring to bear the experience in local government and state government and national government – I was the first woman in history on the Senate Finance Committee – not to mention the diplomatic international experience.

There are men whom a happy disposition, a strong desire of glory and esteem, inspire with the same love for justice and virtue which men in general have for riches and honors… But the number of these men is so small that I only mention them in honor of humanity.

There can be no more burying our heads in the sand by being afraid to even mention the words ‘climate change’ aloud.

What too few people mention when discussing crime is the degree to which concentrated poverty, hopelessness and despair are the chambermaids of violence and incivility.
