In all, I was in 16 movies, including ‘The Bishop’s Wife’ with Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven; I was in ‘Rio Grande’ with John Wayne, ‘Albuquerque’ with Randall Scott, ‘Blue Skies’ with Bing Crosby and ‘Hans Christian Anderson’ with Danny Kaye.
Unless you’re Jack Lemmon or Cary Grant, there are few guys who can do comedy and drama.
I never took a grant or borrowed a penny from anybody. It was partially because I didn’t really know how to do that, but secondly, my pride never would have allowed me to. In the beginning it was about doing it the right way, on the merits of the music.
If we grant immigrants moral agency, we assume that they are capable of abiding by the law, and that they are legally responsible when they do not.
In a time of serious budget deficits, immense war costs and a sluggish economy, we cannot afford to grant such outlandish subsidies to some of our Nation’s largest corporations.
I did a little movie called ‘Touch of Pink,’ where I played a Cary Grant-type guy, which I thought was a lot of fun, and I thought I was moderately successful in my own interpretation of Cary Grant.
Hugh Grant is really the perfect actor for romantic comedies. Anything he does is invariably charming.
You’re absolutely right: Bob Grant is a racist, Bob Grant is a bigot, he’s a despicable talk show host and I agree with that.
We want Telangana state with Hyderabad as its capital. We demand the Centre to grant the statehood for the region.
I talked to Grant Hill, and I told him, ‘I played against you a lot, and now, hopefully, I’m getting to coach a player like you. Jabari has the opportunity to be a special player in this league. But it’s not handed to you. He’s going to work, and our jobs are to make him better each day.’
In my life, I got a haircut junior year of college that was a real wash-‘n-go type of situation. It was short. I had six or seven people say I looked just like Hugh Grant. And I was like, ‘That’s a man. So… that’s not nice.’
The higher one climbs on the spiritual ladder, the more they will grant others their own freedom, and give less interference to another’s state of consciousness.
I always ask, why can’t I be just like Cary Grant or something.
I was inspired by Cary Grant. I wanted to do the kind of work he did and to work in light-hearted roles, in comedies.
I’m crazy about Grant: his character, his nature, his science in fighting and everything else. But I don’t like the idea that he never accepted the blame for anything, always found someone else to blame for any mistake that was ever made, including blaming Prentiss for Shiloh.
I believe in singing for my supper. I’ll never accept a grant because what I do should be able to be founded purely on free enterprise.
How arrogant – how very far from humility – would be the self-satisfied, smug assurance that God, a tidy-up-after-us God will come and clean up our mess? Hope for a nanny God, who will with a miracle grant us amnesty from our folly – that’s not aligned with either history or the text of the Bible.
I decided that now is the time to start doing the things that really interest me and I find important. It was in the 10 years of the MacArthur grant that I began working on my first book… and I began putting more work into environmental history.
When you have somebody out there that’s willing to work for the team first, that’s contagious. In Phoenix, I learned that from Steve Nash, Grant Hill, so many different guys. When you’re playing with somebody like Steve, like Grant, that just passes on to you.
One does not read a poem by Gwendolyn Brooks with hopes that it will grant him a career in engineering; he does so because poetry helps him see something in the world that he might not have seen before.
Ultimately, the appraisal of Grant’s presidency rests upon posterity’s view of Reconstruction.
I always adored Cary Grant. I was fascinated by him. But I could never get too close to him.
So if there is a government grant offered for anything, like starting a business or going to school, they cannot discriminate because of your age.
Scientists cloister themselves away from the rest of society, happy just to receive their next grant. They lose their connection to a purpose.
Just about everything put out by Top Shelf and Drawn & Quarterly and Fantagraphics is what I keep up with. And once in a while, I’ll read the more mainstream comics – I like Grant Morrison’s writing and some of Warren Ellis’ stuff, although maybe they’re more on the fringe of the mainstream.
I’d been brought up on… American TV: ‘Lou Grant,’ ‘Starsky & Hutch;’ ‘Gilligan’s Island.’
If even dying is to be made a social function, then, grant me the favor of sneaking out on tiptoe without disturbing the party.
The Pell Grant is more than a financial aid program for college students in need. It is the right thing to do for America’s college students, and it is the right thing to do for America’s economy.
O Christ, on you the many-eyed cherubim are unable to look because of the glory of your countenance, yet out of your love you accepted spittle on your face. Remove the shame from my face, and grant me to have an unashamed face before you at the time of prayer.
Grant stood by me when I was crazy, and I stood by him when he was drunk, and now we stand by each other.
I suppose you all grant that woman is a human being. If she has a right to life she has a right to earn a support for that life. If a human being, she has a right to have her powers and faculties as a human being developed. If developed, she has a right to exercise them.
You cannot grant amnesty. If the American people see us granting amnesty they will never again believe in legal immigration. They will never again support it, and that’s wrong for our country, bad for our future.
The NCI scientific programme leaders meet regularly to ensure that we are not ignoring highly original proposals and that we are not creating an unbalanced grant portfolio.
I read tons of comic books. My favourite is Grant Morrison, a Scottish comic writer.
It’s easy for the thought-leader and executive classes to embrace a ‘do what you love and love what you do’ philosophy when they are wealthy enough to work hard only voluntarily, and when their jobs grant them status.
Cary Grant is really the master of not taking himself so seriously.
Refusing to grant clemency is a failure of one of the most basic jobs of being governor.
Hugh Grant is about the only actor I’ve met who has taken any proper interest in football, being a big Fulham supporter. But he’d be far too good-looking to play me in any film.
I see that already in this present world I am exalted above measure by the Lord. And I was not worthy nor such a one as that he should grant this to me, since I know most surely that poverty and affliction become me better than delights and riches.
‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’ is a great classic by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, I sure love that song. I did like the classic version, a rock-oriented song, then someone heard me do it with the Grant Green approach – Grant Green and Larry Young did it, with a bossa nova beat on the funky side.
Television of course actually started in Britain in 1936, and it was a monopoly, and there was only one broadcaster and it operated on a license which is not the same as a government grant.
The world is full of genies waiting to grant your wishes.
My grandmother introduced me to musicals and Fred Astaire and Cary Grant and all the American comedies and classics.
Pell grants are the foundation of Federal student aid. As someone who attended college with the help of Pell grants and as chairman of the Pell Grant Caucus, I know how important they are for our Nation’s low-income students.
Here in Florida, we know plenty about the Castro brothers, and we hear stories of their ruthless and violent rule far too often. It is shameful that we would grant them any shred of legitimacy.
I didn’t take the fight with Michael Grant because the timing wasn’t right. They offered me a lot of money, but it wasn’t in my best interest to take that fight. They were trying to use me to build up Michael Grant.
Lou Grant was pretty much always Lou Grant.
As far as a man, Cary Grant is always suave and debonair and dashing. Sydney Greenstreet for a portly person, or Robert Morley. I think he always looked spiffy.
My kindergarten teacher encouraged me to learn, as did my school headmaster, who gave me a grant to study.
I received a grant from The Ford Foundation to write a book for kids about urban perception, or how people experience cities, but I kept putting off writing it. Instead I started to write what became The Phantom Tollbooth.
Let us search into the records of Holy Writ, if out of this their great charter, there be not a seal grant of a lesser, though like privilege, and this by virtue of Christ, in that we have the honour to be accounted Abraham’s seed as truly as they.
Nowadays if you’re dependent on a grant – and 99% of them are – you can’t make mistakes as you won’t get another one if you do.
The Israelis should understand that it is in their long-term interest to have a democratic Egypt as a neighbor, and that it is prudent to acknowledge the legitimate interests of the Palestinians and to grant them their own state.
Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. Yes, yes, it’s the most comical thing in the world.
