With the success of a show, you get an opportunity to call attention to things that you believe in.
Have you ever had that moment when you looked back on something and said, ‘Well, gosh, that seems obvious now… why didn’t I see it then?’ I like to call this the Face Palm Epiphany. Oh, hindsight, you magical, humbling thing.
It’s the one with that panel of ultra-chichi folks. The one called ‘What’s My Line?’ It sends me straight up the wall. I call it ‘The Snob Family.’
I am the daughter of Black writers who are descended from Freedom Fighters who broke their chains and changed the world. They call me.
I just didn’t want to get out there anymore; I didn’t want to get back into what I call ‘the swamp.’ And the other reason why is I don’t think it’s good for the presidency for a former president to be opining about his successor. President Obama’s got plenty of critics – and I’m just not gonna be one.
I wouldn’t call myself a feminist, because I think there are differences between men and women.
I’m trying to stay focused on what I’m doing. I don’t want a whole lot of things going on – people to call back, or text messages or whatever. I chill out, relax a little bit, and then I don’t have those issues.
The idea of beauty today is a bloody mess. It’s really awful. You look in the fashion magazines and see all of these retouched people. Some guys called retouchers go on the computer and take away everything that you are and then call it photography. I think it’s such an insult.
I think a poet is anybody who wouldn’t call himself a poet.
From here it sounds great to say we’ll all get together soon, but all I know is this: you can call me fifty days or fifty years from now and I’ll be glad to see you.
They just brought it up to me and said, ‘Hey, this is what we’re going to do.’ They’re going to put out a section and call it Judge’s Chambers and give them little judge outfits, and we’ll see what happens. I think it turned out great.
No, I don’t regret anything at this point. That may change on the next phone call, but at the moment I don’t regret anything.
To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.
I’m someone that needs to talk about my problems. I call my mom every single day at school just to vent about random stuff. Singing is the same thing.
The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one’s country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.
Why is she Mrs. C.J. Walker? It really was a matter of her trying to insist that people respect her, because during that time, white people would call any black woman ‘Sally.’ ‘Aunt Sally.’ So this was like… you can’t call me that.
Spring beckons! All things to the call respond; the trees are leaving and cashiers abscond.
Kids are great. That’s one of the best things about our business, all the kids you get to meet. It’s a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names.
The Universal Zulu Nation stands to acknowledge wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice, and equality, peace, unity, love, and having fun, work, overcoming the negative through the positive, science, mathematics, faith, facts, and the wonders of God, whether we call him Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, or Jah.
Listen, if you don’t talk big game, you never get anywhere. If you don’t think big, you don’t get big. Some people call it egotistical, some people call it high hopes, some people call it confidence. It’s all in how you want to dissect it.
