One pound of uranium is worth about 3 million pounds worth of coal or oil.

Making sure there are good jobs that pay a decent wage in every part of the country means backing hi-tech companies, modern manufacturing, Britain’s scientists and creative industries – not spending billions of pounds reopening coal mines or renationalising huge swaths of the economy.
I do feel like, especially nowadays, we are inundated with the message that, ‘Oh my God, you aren’t making your own clothes? You didn’t make your own bread?

It’s easy to dismiss Cheeseburger. You look at him as a guy who is 5’8, 125 pounds, very inexperienced. I know not to judge a book by it’s cover, and if a kid with those dimensions is willing to get in the ring with me and Kazarian, you know his heart is the size of Cleveland.

I love my body. I don’t like wearing clothes that hide or cover it. I love wearing costumes that show it off.
Back in the day, a lot of running backs used to be 230 pounds, ground and pound the ball right up the middle. One thing I pride myself is being able to do what those guys do, as well.
I’m a fat kid on the inside. I love food so much, and I fluctuate about 25 to 30 pounds between movies. I feel like I have to do a chess movie that requires very little movement at some point, just so I can eat pizza and play chess on the beach all day.
I’m allowed to maintain some modicum of privacy. But also, I would like not to be picked apart or for people to observe when I put on 10 pounds or take off 10 pounds, or I have a hair extension out of place, or my fake tan is botched.

I put on about 20 pounds to play Washington, and that was really enjoyable. That’s probably the most fun I’ve had preparing for a role.

I just like to catch fish, I don’t care if it weighs half a pound or 10 pounds. But I can’t do a lot of casting. I can work a jig or a worm. But not for long, especially if the big ones are biting. Those big bass will make it hurt after a while.

The most I ever ate? In one sitting? Maybe four big plates of fried chicken, biscuits, chitlins, gravy. Then dessert. Apple pie, sweet potato pie. My mother cooked that stuff, good Southern food, and when I was 300 pounds, I never missed a meal.
