I’m like the only Kiwi that can fly, I’m the one with the biggest wing.
I vividly remember my first day on the White House staff. My office, of course, was in the Old Executive Office Building. I didn’t rate one in the West Wing; but don’t try to tell me or any of the rest of us working there that we weren’t working in the White House.
To have a superstar – he’s Allen Iverson – he really took me under his wing and really forced me to shoot the ball and forced me to make plays, and to have him do that for me – and the way he was always in my ear telling me to shoot the ball and supporting me – it’s a big deal.
Between our birth and death we may touch understanding, As a moth brushes a window with its wing.
I realized no matter how famous you are, you’re still human, and sometimes you need a chicken wing!
The risks of speaking extemporaneously are apparent the first time you wing it and promptly put your foot in your mouth.
The thing with ‘The West Wing’ is that the fantasy was legitimately better than the reality – these were smarter, better people than their real-life counterparts, working together at a better White House than the one we had.
No British TV company could ever make a series like ‘The West Wing’ about British politics. It would beggar credibility. No one could write it with a straight face, or perform it without giggling.

Never touch a butterfly’s wing with your finger.
I try to be the most versatile player on the court. If that means being a four and posting up, I’ll do that. If it means playing on the wing, I can do that too.
This person should not be directly connected with the President Ford Committee nor should he be seen as a member of the liberal wing of the Republican Party. He should be someone like Laird or Rogers Morton.

To go from Girl, Interrupted, where I had to cry every day, to a TV show like West Wing where I get to laugh and joke around every day, has been a welcome relief.
The key word about The West Wing is show. It is not a reality show. It has nothing to do with reality.
When Ronald Reagan chose George H.W. Bush in 1980, it was a clear signal that he was running an inclusive campaign; that he welcomed the moderate and even liberal wings of the GOP – there was a liberal wing back then – into his campaign.
I think this is a part of John McCain that a lot of people don’t know about, is that he took younger senators under his wing. And, in my case, I – he taught me so much about national security and foreign policy, even when we didn’t always agree. He took me four times with him to Iraq and Afghanistan.

America has gone from the Obama Years to the Trump Years, like going from the ‘West Wing’ to a sitcom where the incidental music involves a tuba.
I can guard guys my size and bigger, because, typically, I’m stronger than them, but sometimes guys get by me on the wing. It’s not as big a deal because I can recover pretty well and I’ll block their shot at the rim, but I hate when guys go past me on the wing. I hate that.
I didn’t know what a ‘call sheet’ meant. I’d never been out of the country before, but there I was on a ginormous set in Australia with John Boyega and thinking, ‘What is going on?’ He took me under his wing and broke my fear of being the new kid.
For United, I’m more likely to be left wing of a four-man midfield with only two centre-mids, so it’s a bit more difficult for me to maybe make those runs to get in and score those goals when I’ve got to think about my defensive duties as well.
I can play as a striker or I can play as a No 10. I can even play on the wing as well.
I fight like Bruce Lee. I train in his style of kung fu, wing chun. It’s all about fighting with controlled power, so you learn to punch correctly.
The right wing has had a radio apparatus for years and years, so they’ve had minor leagues – they’ve had local rightwing guys who’ve become national rightwing guys, and who build slowly, and that’s how it goes. We haven’t had that. It isn’t like we have a farm team.
As a number eight or a number ten. I can play on the right wing like Becks used to play, cut inside and get the early cross in. I have a lot to show.
I like playing off the wing, facing up. That’s my favorite thing to do.
I worked on a show called ‘West Wing’ before. I didn’t work with Aaron Sorkin, but he created the show and set the tenor of the show, which was you follow the words of the script perfectly because there’s a dramaturgical thing behind it.
If in the script there is an argument about gun control, the most precious document you could produce at ‘The West Wing’ that week is a passionate, intelligent case against gun control. We know how to do the other one.

I’m very grateful for Scott Hall’s willingness to take me under his wing and help me.
Genius is the very eye of intellect and the wing of thought; it is always in advance of its time, and is the pioneer for the generation which it precedes.
I loved playing ‘Ultima.’ Getting my computer in college and playing ‘Wing Commander.’ I hear a lot from our fans, and they are the same way. Games are where I want to be.
‘The West Wing’ was really important for me for a lot of reasons. It was the first thing I did when I got out to Los Angeles. I’d just finished school, and I was so naive.
I’ve always felt I had the ability to be a good, elite defender in this league on the wing. I just need to lock in. I feel if I pick that up, I can be a very good all-around player.
‘The Anthill’ is the podcast wing of The Conversation, the site that presents news and views derived from the academic and research community.

Comedy should be fluid. It should be both Left and Right wing.
I had very good vets that took me under their wing, so I just want to be sure I give the same thing back.
At ‘The West Wing,’ I cast newscasters, and when you put out a casting call for actors, half of the people who come in are real local L.A. newscasters. Each time, I ended up hiring one of them, because they’re better at it. Big surprise! A newscaster is better at playing a newscaster than an actor is.
I can play in the centre or on the wing, behind one or two strikers, on the left or the right.
Most Republicans call the show ‘The Left Wing.’
At fullback you have a little bit more defensive responsibility. You have to help out with your center backs a little bit more. As a wing back, you can be a little bit more aggressive with getting forward.

When I look at my daily schedule, I feel like a trout flopping about on a dock, drowning in the air. Some people are ruthless with their schedules. Not me. I wing it.

Life without dreams is like a bird with a broken wing – it can’t fly.
Too often, there are complaints in the British papers about the BBC. It’s too left wing, too right wing, too pro-Brexit, too anti, and so on. It’s only when you go abroad and try to find out what is going on in the world that everyone falls with gratitude before the BBC News.
I enjoy Otis Thorpe; he took me under his wing when I was a rookie. I’m also a fan of Ron Harper. He showed me the ropes and showed me what it was to play in the NBA.
I grew up in a household that was very left wing.
I’m enjoying my position on the left wing because I think I’m affecting the game more in terms of goals and assists. But I’m happy to play wherever I’m told.
I quite like the Queen. Now, this must come as a fairly amazing statement for someone who is avowedly left wing, pro-independence and anti-monarchy, but there you go.
We’re doing a lot of inspection on the leading edge of our wing on 114 and 121, the first two flights.
