Claudia Rankine’s book-length poem ‘Citizen’ was nominated for National Book Critics Circle awards in the categories of poetry and criticism.

Could it be that my circle is largely black and that it is why I am influential in black circles but not in white circles?
I was in a Montessori school. There was a drum circle with all the kids passing around a little bongo drum. I was the last person in the circle, and when it got to me I played ‘Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits’ – in front of all the parents. Blew the crowd away at five years old.
I’m a voracious reader. What that does is keep your mind fresh and active and hearing different voices and different styles. TV can be derivative, and if you just watch TV, you’re not widening the circle.

I spent hours from 11 until 16 with Tottenham in the gym playing the ball against the wall. We played against the wall for an hour before we would have a match. Left foot. Right foot. In the square. In the circle. Above the line, below it. Chest control. Thigh control. Volley sideways.
When I began, the guitar was en-closed in a vicious circle. There were no composers writing for the guitar, be-cause there were no virtuoso guitarists.

You pay more in wages, get more in in tax, you get people living a higher standard, you get more money. It’s a kind of circle.
I’m formally trained, I don’t know what classically trained really means. I’ve worked with Sanford Meisner. And I’ve worked at Circle Rep with Marshall W. Mason and Lanford Wilson and some really good people. I was lucky. I had a lot of really good influences.
Most things in music go full circle eventually.
I believe one’s relatives are the most important people of all, they form a protective circle around you.

In the 1970s people were afraid to call me black because they thought it was an insult. They would say ‘coloured.’ Now it has gone full circle. It’s not an issue. The intention is the most important thing.
It depends on the arrangement. It could take 3 hours, it could take 3 days, it could take a week. ‘Thrift Shop’ took one arrangement session. We did it all in a circle that day. ‘Evolution of Music’ and ‘Evolution of Beyonce’ took a bunch of different sessions.
I understand it’s great to read a great book, but it’s better to live your life. It just helps me. It’s uncomfortable at times, but you have to live outside the circle.
Singing live is my favorite. When people sing along to your songs, the circle is complete.
It is a part of my personality, but not the full circle. That character that you see is ‘The Situation.’ It’s not Michael Sorrentino. You’re seeing ‘The Situation,’ almost like Clark Kent and Superman.
I’d rather dance in a corner than dance in a circle.
I’m not comfortable being around too many people. I don’t like being out in public too much. I don’t like going to bars. I don’t like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don’t always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.
If people think we can draw a circle around North America and that we can be an independent island of energy, that’s not realistic. This is a world market for oil, for refined products, and increasingly, for natural gas.

Once upon a time, it was hard to decipher what was more difficult to stomach: the foolish, detrimental behavior of a professional athlete or the apologists disguised as their inner circle, eager to excuse the inexcusable. And then there came Allen Iverson, who didn’t make it difficult at all.
When you’re not as accessible, you get in a tent and get in your own head, and you start doing things that are a little out of touch. I think we’ve seen it happen with certain artists… people can’t touch them; they’re not touching people. They’re only touching people in their circle.
A circle is the reflection of eternity. It has no beginning and it has no end – and if you put several circles over each other, then you get a spiral.
I think it’s very important that I don’t lose my circle of friends and the people who helped me get to where I am now.
As I enter a new phase of life and my circle broadens, I start learning new things.
Talk about full circle, I never saw this coming. It wasn’t like I said, ‘Someday, I want to be the head coach at the University of Memphis.’
I’m not turning my back on music anytime soon, but it’s just a blessing to have options open. A lot of artists just have rap, and that’s it. But once rap stops, it’s hard to get into that Hollywood circle; it really is. It’s a whole ‘nother beast that people think they’re ready for, but they’re really not.
A low line of shore was visible at first on the right between the movement of the waves and fog, but when we came further it was lost sight of, and nothing could be seen but the mist curling in the rigging, and a small circle of foam.

I’ve been a part of this before, where you think the racing gods are against you, then next thing you know, you can’t do anything wrong.

Everything does go in a circle.
I don’t belong to any country clubs. I don’t have this big circle of friends. Where I make my friends is where I work.
I feel like I started with wrestling, and a love of pro wrestling, that lead me to MMA and the UFC. And now it’s come full circle back to pro wrestling.

I was a member of Circle Rep; I had done a little bit of directing there. I remember that I had a vacation from ‘Angels’, in which I remounted a play that I had done out of town called ‘Three Hotels.’ That’s how I spent my week vacation.
