I’m always drawn to female stories with female protagonists, and I particularly yearn for more older actresses to take centre stage in 2018.
When I read or study, I don’t do it for the degree – if I fail, it doesn’t matter, but it just takes me out of this world where you’re the centre of attention all the time. You just become a normal bloke when you’re setting yourself those kinds of targets.
The BBC is a brilliant, infuriating, delightful cornerstone of our culture but it drives me round the twist. I will never forgive them for selling off BBC Centre. It’s probably the best studio facility in Europe, possibly the world, and it’s being sold off for flats and a luxury hotel.
India offers exciting business opportunities owing to the growth in corporate travel and a significant middle-class population waiting to explore the world. To begin with, Travelex is setting up eight city centre branches in metros and other major cities including tourist destinations.
So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the possibility of change. This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one centre. All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.

I set up a centre for zari-zardozi artists near Paharganj.
If I go to a party I don’t feel like I have to be in the centre. But I do find myself quite often being placed in that position. Even when I was younger at school, I would be asked to make a speech. I don’t remember putting up my hand and all that often but I’d just find myself there.
Evolution isn’t just a take-it-or-leave-it story about where we came from. It’s an epic at the centre of life itself. It tells us we are part of nature in every respect.
My dad had records, but only one deck, so Skep used to try and play a song on one deck – the Music Centre we used to call it, a cabinet with a glass door – he would play one tune on the record and then mix the tape to it, that’s what he used to like doing. He became a DJ.
Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin’ hymns is a great thing to do.
I guess, when I go there in the centre, when I do my rehabilitation, I look at the people with only one leg and I actually envy them because I’d love to have one leg. I guess the ones that only have one leg, they envy the ones that they are only missing one leg below the knee, and on and on.
Hollywood is probably the most active centre of film-making in the world, but it’s also a very difficult place in which to find your voice… It was also a far more civilised industry in Ireland.
I want Britain to be a global financial centre but I want it to be properly regulated.

I guess when Rick is finished with his Journey to the Centre of the Earth, then we might have a go at something. We’d like to, we’re open to it, and we’ve been talking about it.
Betting shops have a big impact on encouraging on-street drinking and can often become a centre for disorder and anti-social behaviour.
I love to remember the World Trade Centre walk, but it should not define me.
Pebble Mill was packed with a lot of talent and a lot of really, really good stuff came out of Birmingham. It was a tragedy that it closed. It was the most famous TV centre in the country.
Niang is very good in front of the goal, and he’s also a quick learner. He is a versatile striker who can play both as a centre forward and as a second striker.
The rain-cum-solar energy centre functioning in Chennai is a source of credible public information on rainwater harvesting and solar energy use. Such centres need to be replicated in all our cities, towns and block headquarters.
The Luxembourg financial centre is based on several pillars, we are characterised by the breadth of our product range, we are an active participant in the international credit business.
I think that New York is not the cultural centre of America, but the business and administrative centre of American culture.
DMK’s arrogance of being in power at the Centre will be put an end to by AIADMK in the Lok Sabha polls.
What is needed is permanent jobs and the Centre has done everything to discriminate against the Dalits by not releasing funds for them.
Any actor I admire and enjoy working with – Sergi Lopez as the bad guy in ‘Pan’s Labyrinth,’ or the little girl who played young Mako in ‘Pacific Rim,’ it makes no difference – I like actors with a very strong centre.
When I was 21 years old, I had a job playing Santa Claus in a shopping centre in Sacramento. I was rail thin, so it’s not like I was a traditional Santa Claus even then. I had a square stomach; that was the shape of the sofa cushion that I had stuffed into my pants.
I think you could make a completely Virtual Centre, though I have a general feeling, and maybe because I am getting very old, that you still need face to face.
I’m in a difficult position in the sense that, preposterous as this might sound, I don’t like being the centre of attention. I get up on stage every night and play songs, but I almost feel the songs are the centre of attention. I don’t like opening my birthday presents in front of people, either.
I had so much fun developing and launching my first fragrance with Avon, so for my second fragrance, I really wanted to add a little more edge. Outspoken Intense is a provocative blend of sexy confidence and daring femininity that captures the thrill and excitement of being centre stage.
Once I was in a shopping centre with some Western Sydney Wanderers boys and this kid came up to me and said, ‘Hi I’m a Kuhlman, we have the same dad and my mum’s got photos of you as a baby.’ I was shocked, lost for words, really uncomfortable. I knew he’d had kids but no idea how many or age.
There is this big yawning gap in the middle of British politics, the Conservative and Labour parties have gone to the edges. In this divided, polarised world, the pragmatic centre ground is a bit unloved.
I have a pretty good idea of what I am not good at and have it front and centre of my consciousness every minute I am doing it.
My mother taught in the schools in Toronto Centre.
The cross is the centre of all this in every respect.
You see it in the stuff I’ve done at Laika: I’ve always tried to make movies that have an artful blend of darkness and light, intensity and warmth. That have a thinking brain and a strong beating heart at the centre of it.
The only pictures you saw of me when I was playing, I was crashing into a centre forward! Or running down a line to save my team. I’m not gonna be happy, be smiling.
I love acting, but I hate being in front of camera – I get really awkward. I hate being the centre of attention.
Time, which runs through the world like an endless tinsel thread, seemed to pass through the centre of this room and through the centre of these people and suddenly to pause and petrify, stiff, still and glittering… and the objects in the room drew a little closer together.
In the past, the U.S. was the centre of the world, where everything was happening. I think my stories have always sought to question this, maybe even criticise it.

I went to the Actors Centre in Australia, but I never thought that I’d move to India, let alone be in Bollywood.
I would say that every political party must remain in some form in a state or the Centre for the sake of democracy.
The midfield is the heartbeat of a football team, it’s the centre of the action, so you can’t just do one thing.
When power is exercised exclusively at the centre, the result is rigidity of rules and alienation of the people subject to those rules.
A toddling little girl is a centre of common feeling which makes the most dissimilar people understand each other.
The biggest ethical challenge AI is facing is jobs. You have to reskill your workforce not just to create a wealthier society but a fairer one. A lot of call centre jobs will go away, and a radiologist’s job will be transformed.
Those of us who are in the centre believe in opening up to the world, believe migration on balance is a good thing if it is managed properly, and believe that multilateralism is the best way to solve problems.
