I was into Jacques Cousteau as a kid and started scuba-

I was into Jacques Cousteau as a kid and started scuba-diving around 14, which blew my mind. It was all colour, another world.
Stephen Hillenburg
I condemn what happened in Madrid, but it is suspicious. If tomorrow there will be another bombing, in France for example, who will gain power? Of course not Jacques Chirac, but Le Pen.
Walid Jumblatt
The Jacques Cousteau shows actually got me very excited about the fact that there’s an alien world here on Earth.
James Cameron
I taped my first series for PBS in 1982 at WJCT-TV in Jacksonville, Florida. The show, called ‘Everyday Cooking with Jacques Pepin,’ was about saving time and money in the kitchen – and it was a celebration of simple and unpretentious food.
Jacques Pepin
Well I never play back my music, just so you know, it’s there sitting in my drawers and what I remember is that, what I can say is that there are steps, you know, moments in my life where I know that one score was a new chapter. I can say that ‘Read My Lips,’ by Jacques Audiard, ‘Sur Mes Levres’ was a chapter.
Alexandre Desplat
I like Jacques Derrida; I think he’s funny. I like my philosophy with a few jokes and puns. I know that that offends other philosophers; they think he’s not taking things seriously, but he comes up with some marvellous puns. Why shouldn’t you have a bit of fun while dealing with the deepest issues of the mind?
Alan Moore
I was 14. I went to see a production of ‘Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris,’ and when they got to that final song, ‘If We Only Have Love,’ it was like the top of my head had blown off.
Alice Ripley
Jacques Derrida is a very important thinker and philosopher who has made serious contributions to both philosophy and literary criticism. Roland Barthes is the one I feel most affinity for, and Michel Foucault, well, his writing influenced my novel, ‘Middlesex.’
Jeffrey Eugenides
When I bowled to batters like Michael Vaughan or Jacques Kallis who were classical, technically perfect, sound batters, I always found that I could get them out.
Dale Steyn
I would also point out that many governments that chose not to support this war – certainly, the French president, Jacques Chirac, as I recall in April of last year, referred to Iraq’s possession of WMD.
David Kay
I can’t summarize my favorite movie, Jacques Tati’s ‘Play Time.’ You just have to see it.
Rick Perlstein
Successful technologies often begin as hobbies. Jacques Cousteau invented scuba diving because he enjoyed exploring caves. The Wright brothers invented flying as a relief from the monotony of their normal business of selling and repairing bicycles.
Freeman Dyson
Jacques Doillon wanted me to be in his film, ‘La Fille Prodigue,’ and there I was, expecting, for some reason, this great bearded man, when a splendid looking red-Indian style man appeared at my door. I said no to his film because I knew that if I said yes, I would run off with him.
Jane Birkin
The earliest memories I have of the ocean are actually stories – stories from my grandfather, the legendary ocean explorer and conservationist Jacques Cousteau. My passion for ocean conservation stems from learning at a very young age that we’re all connected; we’re all in this together.
Philippe Cousteau, Jr.
Take a film of Jacques Tati like Mon Oncle which has something quite new – for me, unique – in it.
Norman McLaren
It’s funny, I started by making fake American movies, ‘The Transporter’ and stuff like that. I was shooting in France, but everything was in English. But then afterwards, I was looking at real French movies like the Jacques Audiard movies.
Louis Leterrier
I don’t really listen to Jacques Villeneuve anymore.
Lance Stroll
I was reading a lot of Jacques Derrida at the time, writing ‘Beth.’ He actually talked about zombies.
Jeff Baena
I hooked up with director Jacques Audiard for this film called ‘Rust & Bone’ with Marion Cotillard. I loved that experience so much I’m truly sad that it’s over!
Matthias Schoenaerts
Right from the start of my career I was surrounded by people like Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher and Graeme Smith, who gave 100 percent in every performance.
Dale Steyn
I’m a total puritan, but I found Jacques’ adventures amusing. We couldn’t be further apart. I am a Calvinist toward myself and totally indulgent toward others.
Karl Lagerfeld
I’m quite a confident person in many ways, but there’s only so much you can hear about being compared to Hattie Jacques. For the record, she was a comedy goddess, but she was 25 stone. I hope I’m right in saying I’m not in any way nearly 25 stone.
Miranda Hart
I became fascinated by the then-blossoming science of molecular biology when, in my senior year, I happened to read the papers by Francois Jacob and Jacques Monod on the operon theory.
Susumu Tonegawa
If I were living in France, I’d vote for Jacques Chirac, despite the fact that he can’t seem to keep his hands out of the cash till.
Pim Fortuyn
I want to be Jacques Pepin. I want to have a nice 50-, 60-year career. I want to be on PBS when I’m 70-something, still kicking it, having a great time, showing up in Aspen to sign cookbooks. I just want to have a nice, big, long career.
