DMX wasn’t checking what his fans were saying to him on Twitter or Facebook. Jay-Z is on a boat in Saint-Tropez. I’m hands-on. Girls write to me like I’m their diary. That’s a huge responsibility. I don’t take it for granted.
I was 35 years old and in a position to take a shot at whatever I wanted to try. The Air Force said I was too old to fly fighter jets. I thought about becoming a fishing boat captain, before deciding that acting seemed pretty cool.
I love Thai boat noodles: They are kind of like pho, but with a very hearty broth. I will make the broth and just do no noodles and more bean sprouts. I need to be able to eat what I want to eat, so I just get rid of as many carbs as possible that go into it.
For ‘Neer,’ we spent about Rs. 70,000 just on the boat.
I’ve always been quite scared about talking about race. You don’t wanna rock the boat because you want to keep working.
I took one guitar lesson, and they wanted me to play ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb’ or ‘Michael Row the Boat Ashore,’ and that was the last guitar lesson that I ever took, so I taught myself what I wanted to know.
No matter how wonderful the story, it has to move on something, and that is language. The words that I use, the pace, the rhythm and cadences all need to be there. If they’re not there, the story is like a boat that just sits there and doesn’t move on the ocean.
There is nothing more unpleasant than watching someone on a TV or movie set act like they are entitled to a particular kind of treatment just because they have been doing it for longer. We are all in the same boat – one job at a time.
I’d like to visit the Faroe Islands and at some point take a boat trip along the Caledonian Canal in Scotland.
I once went down the Amazon and our boat got charged by Columbian policemen with guns and we all had to get on motorbikes and whip across town.
For me, the director is the most important thing. He is steering the boat. If you don’t trust him, you won’t be able to give him your all.
I have very long legs and I hate driving anything unless it’s a boat or an ATV in the jungle. I like to sit in the back of a car, where I can look out the window, answer my emails on my iPad, or hold hands with a pretty girl.
If you ever find yourself on a boat in the middle of the ocean, you look around in every direction and don’t see anything. That’s a terrifying experience.
I loved Le Taha’a private resort in Tahiti. It’s accessible only by private boat or helicopter, and it sits on a tiny strip of land just big enough for one hotel. It’s extraordinary and faces the Vanilla Island where Tahitians grow vanilla.
I use filming as an excuse to take classes. I got my certification in sailing for ‘Wedding Crashers,’ and now I can handle a 26-foot boat. I played a seamstress once, so I took sewing classes. I love dipping into these other lives.
As soon as I get on my boat, something inside me changes. Then I really feel what living is.
I never was really into comics as a child, and I think if you miss the boat when you’re a kid, you don’t necessarily pick up on it when you’re an adult.
A rising tide doesn’t raise people who don’t have a boat. We have to build the boat for them. We have to give them the basic infrastructure to rise with the tide.
Not all paintings are abstract; they’re not all Jackson Pollock. There’s value in a photograph of a man alone on a boat at sea, and there is value in painting of a man alone on a boat at sea. In the painting, the painting has more freedom to express an idea, more latitude in being able to elicit certain emotion.
In my career, people in the record business have been rockin’ in the same ol’ boat. They all crooks – I’ll say it clear and loud – especially the big ones.
This is sports. In sports, you win and you lose. That’s the nature of sports. You can’t get away from that part of it. And if you get too hung up on the losing part, then you miss the boat. The competition part, a game like that, is why you play sports. That is as good as it gets.
The man who rows the boat seldom has time to rock it.
If, by chance, you were to meet me at the Casablanca airport or on a boat sailing from Tangiers, you would think me self-confident, but I am not. Even now, at my age, I am frightened when crossing borders because I am afraid of failing to understand strangers.
We have a long, proud history of making things here in Connecticut. We’re home to large companies like Electric Boat, Pratt & Whitney, and Sikorsky, as well as their thousands of suppliers.
Part of life has to be about enjoying life and having different experiences, especially if you’re with friends and you’re on an adventure on a boat or a submarine – it’s a lot of fun.
Shaquille and I kind of joke we were the Christopher Columbus of social media. We’re kind of out on a boat by ourselves going through these uncharted waters. But it’s become more understood, embraced and accepted, and now it’s pretty much expected by fans for athletes, leagues and teams to be there.
Sailing a boat calls for quick action, a blending of feeling with the wind and water as well as with the very heart and soul of the boat itself. Sailing teaches alertness and courage, and gives in return a joyousness and peace that but few sports afford.
Oh yeah – I watched Knife in the Water, saw the shot, and repeated it. But even if I hadn’t seen that film, inevitably the camera would’ve ended up on top of that mast, I mean if you think of it there are only so many dynamic shots on a boat.
My grandfather came to Canada from Romania just before the Second World War, already in debt after buying his boat ticket on borrowed dime.
Someone asked me, if I were stranded on a desert island what book would I bring… ‘How to Build a Boat.’
On my tombstone, I want written: ‘He never did ‘Love Boat!’
My parents are not people who would want to rock the boat. They wouldn’t break the law.
I’ve been an engineer, barman, skip lorry driver, coalman, boat window manufacturer, contract grass cutter and builder.
I have friends who remember seeing fish hauled onto a boat’s deck and beaten to death.
In the back of your mind, when you say you want to write music for the movies, you’re saying that you want a big house, a big car and a boat. If you just wanted to write music, you could live in Kansas and do it.
Zebra mussels like to hitch a ride on boats when they’re transferred from one body of water to another. It’s important to make sure to thoroughly clean your boat each time it leaves the water to ensure these invasive mussels are removed and that you are not spreading them to your next location.
Since retiring I have spent a lot of time with my family, on my boat, and playing football.
When my mother, sisters and I arrived on the shores of America when I was 8 years old, the boat on which we came, a freighter, passed the Statue of Liberty.
Every film has its ups and downs. Each time it seems like pushing a boat over a mountain. I worked on ‘The Lovely Bones’ for five years before my involvement fell apart.
We did not all come over on the same ship, but we are all in the same boat.
The reality is, like, women’s basketball players are playing against women. And we’re all in the same boat the same way men’s sports is.
I’d love to have a proper sailing boat and go around the world.
I’ve always believed that a goal in life is not to own a boat but have a friend with a boat.
My philosophy was, if I just do good work, someone will like it enough to employ me. It never made me famous. And I’m way, way too old now, mate. That boat’s sailed.
I live a fairly simple life, and that didn’t change much after I sold TechCrunch in 2010. I didn’t buy a new house or even a new car. The one thing I did splurge on was a boat. Nothing too fancy or large.
All around me, I saw people who were taught by their parents, as I was, to just toe the line, not ruffle the feathers, not rock the boat too much and just put your head down, do your work and that’s it. And I think that as a community, we’re reaching the limitations of that kind of thinking.
