Your glass will not do you half so much service as a serious reflection on your own minds.
One of the things ‘Minecraft’ is most noted for is the freedom it gives the players to build and experiment with the tools. You start off with simple objects; axes, torches, helmets and swords. With a little time and experimentation, you move to switches, complex machines, mine carts, glass.
The content of Saul Leiter’s photographs arrives on a sort of delay: it takes a moment after the first glance to know what the picture is about. You don’t so much see the image as let it dissolve into your consciousness, like a tablet in a glass of water.
After filming I like to go home and lie down with my daughter and have a glass of wine so I don’t really socialize with the other actors.
When things get really bad, just raise your glass and stamp your feet and do a little jig. That’s about all you can do.
When you won that title you should know now that you are representing a whole country or nation with your actions and you are now in a glass house or under a microscope and you better be ready to make your people proud.
Anytime I’ve been photographed with a glass of champagne in my hand, it’s really Red Bull.
At my dinner parties, I like to serve cheese after the main course because you still have red wine in the glass, and it goes very well with the cheese. And that is what they do in France, and I think they set a good example.
I love ‘Shattered Glass.’ It’s one of my favorite movies. I think it’s just brilliant.
I can’t switch time zones any more. London is one of my favourite places, but I’m always so zonked that I can’t appreciate it. It’s like a six-inch sheet of glass between me and Charing Cross Road.
We tell infertile couples all the time that are having trouble conceiving because of the woman not ovulating, ‘Just relax. Drink a glass of wine. And don’t be so tense and uptight because all that adrenaline can cause you not to ovulate.’
It’s very important for the parents of young autistic children to encourage them to talk, or for those that don’t talk, to give them a way of communicating, like a picture board, where they can point to a glass of milk, or a jacket if they’re cold, or the bathroom.
The first time I ever acted was in ‘The Glass Menagerie’ in high school, and my first line was, ‘I didn’t know Shakespeare had a sister.’
When I was asked to manage some issues in Europe for the government, I didn’t go to Parliament and just make a great speech and impress them. Instead, I will go down and discuss with those people about certain issues that we don’t agree, and over a glass of wine we talk about it and they say ‘okay, let’s forget it.’
Don’t keep excessive amounts of anything. Those glass vases that come from florists. Those ketchup packets that come with take-out food. A house with two adults probably doesn’t need fifteen mismatched souvenir coffee cups.
I’ve never opened a glass of champagne on any acquisition. Bankers do that.
I loved every second of Catholic church. I loved the sickly sweet rotting-pomegranate smells of the incense. I loved the overwrought altar, the birdbath of holy water, the votive candles; I loved that there was a poor box, the stations of the cross rendered in stained glass on the windows.
Sometimes I feel my glass is a bit half empty and I am a bit Eeyore-ish.
Holiday? Is like, what? I’m a hyperactive girl, so it may be boring for me to be on the beach doing nothing. I just need to find a place for three weeks and work but sleep in the morning, maybe write a little bit, have a glass of red wine. That’s my perfect holiday.
For inspiration, we still demand the rhetorical high notes. Clinton has hit them before, in her speech in Beijing as first lady when she said, ‘Women’s rights are human rights,’ and in her 2008 concession speech, when she talked about the ’18 million cracks’ in the glass ceiling.
I’m creative in my own life. I’m creative when I step out the door. I’m creative when I pick up a glass. Do you know what I mean? I’m one of those dreadful people who probably should have been born at the end of the 19th century and been in cafe society. That would have suited me fine.
On a Friday night in 1983, I was in a taxi in New York riding home from dinner with friends. A drunk driver ran a red light and hit the cab, and I was thrown toward the glass partition. I tried to duck, but my face hit the glass, and the impact fractured my cheekbone, my eye socket, my collarbone and several ribs.
People are constantly asking Portia and me if we are going to have children. We thought about it. We love to be around children after they’ve been fed and bathed. But we ultimately decided that we don’t want children of our own. There is far too much glass in our house.
I feel like ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass.’
Spiders keep me awake at night. If I see one that’s too big to get under a glass, there will be big problems. I’ll spend the rest of the day feeling like I’m being terrorised by this missing spider.
We are at a crossroads in the music business: with the rise of the internet, the world we live in has changed, and the past is not coming back. But I see the glass as half-full: the internet and social networking are new avenues for the next Bob Dylan to be born on.
When I put my nose in a glass, it’s like tunnel vision. I move into another world, where everything around me is just gone, and every bit of mental energy is focused on that wine.
Ava DuVernay, Sheryl Crow, Diane von Furstenberg, Ashley Graham, Tracy Reese, Pat Benatar, Issa Rae, Betty White – they’ve all shattered glass ceilings, whether in music, fashion, or film.
And you have to remember that I came to America as an immigrant. You know, on a ship, through the Statue of Liberty. And I saw that skyline, not just as a representation of steel and concrete and glass, but as really the substance of the American Dream.
My wife turns me onto shows. I do end up watching them. She has to drag me in there, and when she does, I enjoy it. ‘Glee’ was one of those things for the first year, especially – I got into that. I would sit down with a glass of wine and get into that. I even have a ‘Glee’ CD in my car.
People think that I must be a very strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy. It is in a glass jar on my desk.
I went to a party in Ibiza in 1984 in this house built into the side of a cliff with glass walls. It was the most dramatic thing I’d ever seen. There was a fountain that ran through the house and off the edge of the cliff. If you’ve ever seen the Peter Sellers film ‘The Party,’ it was the spitting image of that.
We used to move pianos in New York City, and one time, it was, like, eight guys on a piano that was made of glass. We were moving it for Alicia Keys.
I didn’t abandon everything at a moment’s notice – on the contrary. I returned to France from America, leaving the ‘Large Glass’ unfinished.
I saw a boy of the crew purchasing javelins of them with bits of platters and broken glass.
Google Glass is the wearable computer that responds to voice commands and displays information on a visual display.
The first thing I did was give up sweet tea because I drank so much. I’d start drinking at lunchtime and wouldn’t set it down until I went to bed. When you calculate how much empty calories and how much sugar I was consuming, it was staggering. So I haven’t had a glass of sweet tea in three years.
When we’re able to get stops, get the ball off the glass and run, you never know who’s going to get the ball. Everyone takes off, runs to their spots, and the ball just finds the open man.
The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face.
