My sexuality, in terms of ‘Strictly’ or whatever else I do in my life, ought to be as irrelevant as the length of my big toe.

My hair is always going to be purple; that’s kind of my thing. It doesn’t matter what length I make it, as long as it’s purple.
It’s things that you find difficult as a bowler in matches that you have to practise more. Some people don’t, they just think line and length and forget about other things.

There are different types of cornerbacks: you’ve got your longer guys that will try to get physical with you and use their length, and you’ve got your quick guys that will try to use their quickness, and then you’ve got your ‘tweener’ guys that will try to use both.
I do play tennis in shorts, I have driven across the length and breadth of the country from Khardung La pass to Kanyakumari in my beloved Ambassador car, and I did compile my 100 Lyrics book, inspired by Lyrics by Sting. I don’t subscribe to any definition of an Urdu poet.
I think we’re doing the right things for the right reasons. We’re not doing it to sell products. We’re not doing it to be popular. We’re doing it because in our judgment these stories are important to do, and at this length and this much depth.
First off, I don’t want anyone to think I’m this huge thing in Japan. Every group from here that’s made any records over any length of time – even indie bands – have a Cheap Trick effect in Japan.
It’s the degree of success and the length of time that is amazing.
For Leicestershire, through the age groups, I didn’t bowl at all. My height was below average for my age up until 17 when I had a big growth spurt. My bowling kicked on from there because I could get bounce from a fuller length and shape the ball away.
When someone has told me they have the ‘world’s worst knees’ I’ve done all I can to find them a hem line that hides them. Luckily, as my shop is predominantly vintage, I have clothes from all decades and therefore pieces of all length.

We are very lucky to work in fashion and not work in a hospital or something where the biggest deal we come across is perhaps the length of a skirt.
One of my biggest fears as a director is that everything is taking too long on camera. The actor saying their lines, the silence between lines, the length of time it takes to walk from A to B. So you try it at different speeds and then see what sticks in the edit room.

I was very anxious when I was writing ‘Oscar And Lucinda.’ I would take other books off the shelf to check my chapter length was OK.
Chemical propulsion is obsolete to go anywhere other than the moon. Three days – that’s acceptable. But for Mars, we need propulsion technologies to get us there in, say, 60 days – then spend whatever length of time we want to spend and return when we want to come home.
The stories I work on, especially for any length of time, do tend to become personal to me.
I’m not one of these directors, so far, that wants to have a whole separate director’s cut of these things. So far they’ve turned out to be kind of the length that they wanted to be.

If someone wants to say ‘I love you’ in a straight play, they say it, and then it’s the other person’s turn to talk. But in a song, you can sing about it for another three minutes. The musical form has that unique opportunity to express at length what joy really feels like.

I felt I had a good chance of playing for England for exactly 67 days – the length of time Sam Allardyce was manager of the Three Lions in 2016.
The one thing you can’t do is get carried away with that pace and bounce. There’s a temptation to charge in and just slam the ball into the pitch and you can end up bowling too short. You still have to bowl the right length so that you threaten to take wickets.
I once paddled a canoe the length of the Mississippi River all the way from Itasca to New Orleans.
I write from the same place I parent, and since becoming a single parent, I have found it difficult, if not impossible, to write anything of length.

Never, ever wear three-quarter length trousers. Even in the summer.
I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts – spirit, beauty, intelligence, the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back – length of life.
If I’ve gone to get a takeaway, and I get chips… I like to match up the chips in length. That is actually quite weird. Obviously, if I’ve got chips, I pick them out in twos. That’s a weird thing as well. You know, if they’re not the same length, well, I go hunting for the same length in chips.
‘Harlem River’ is about the Harlem River in uptown Manhattan. I don’t know much to say about it. I came upon that river a couple of years ago. I was doing a walk the length of Manhattan, from the top to the bottom, and I had never seen that river before.
There comes a pause, for human strength will not endure to dance without cessation; and everyone must reach the point at length of absolute prostration.
We play a game called, ‘Peru ball,’ it’s a game we invented in Peru. The rules are so simple. You play with a football and one team’s going one direction, the other team’s going the other direction. Get the ball across the line, the length of a soccer goal. That’s it, that’s the only rules.
I feel the political failings of the U.S.A. are presidential in length, but the aspirant narrative of the States is millennial in length.
We are to seek wisdom and understanding only in the length of days.

We can detect very small differences in telomere length, and it is a very simple and fast technique where many samples can be analysed at the same time. Most importantly, we are able to determine the presence of dangerous telomeres – those that are very short.
You have to pack as much as you can in an hour or 70 minutes. This time around it was 15 songs, so it was a challenge to get them all the right length so you could get them all on.
One of the reasons it is considered such a privilege to sit on a Man Booker jury is because it is famously rigorous. The judging is not a gig for lightweights.
