For the surf idol Duke Kahanamoku portrait, which I created for the Surfrider Foundation, I took a photo from a book cover and abstracted the photo image into a drawing. This drawing was laminated onto a surfboard and auctioned to a buyer.
Economists treat economics as if it is a pure science divorced from the facts of life. The result of this false accountancy is a willful confusion under cover of which industry wreaks its havoc scot-free and ignores the environmental cost.
I like candles. It helps cover up for the fact that I have four male roommates.
You go to a theater now and you literally see parents watching the movie and they suddenly cover their kid’s ears. I figured I’d make one movie where they didn’t have to do this.
I’m the female Bob Woodward! If I were a liberal, I couldn’t write another book. I’d be so busy collecting awards! I’d be posing for the cover of ‘Vanity Fair!’
My dad died of a heart attack when I was 15. I was bullied mercilessly in middle school. I went through a divorce – those not-so-great things are all a part of me, and they give me a place to go when I cover those stories on the news. I’m more empathetic, more relatable because of them.
I’ll admit – I was honored to be on the cover of Time.
Our oceans cover two-thirds of what my grandfather called our water planet, and the part of the ocean that falls under the jurisdiction of the United States covers an area larger than the country itself.
My university degree is in art and, yes, I do a lot of drawing for all my books. I have a big drafting table set up in a spare bedroom and I cover it with maps and house plans and sketches that I use in the books. Also, I truly love architecture, so that plays a big part in all my books.
I still have a steady stream of book cover work. I’m grateful for it. Viva le book!
The stuff I write I’m very proud of, but I’m smart enough to know I’ll never get on the cover of ‘Rolling Stone’ next to Elvis Costello.
I would be lying if I said it wasn’t cool to see myself on the cover of ‘Vanity Fair,’ right? It’s, like, what am I doing there? This is bizarre.
When you put an individual on the cover of a big picture magazine, like ‘Life of Look’, their career skyrocketed. As a photographer, you were very empowered; people came to you, bowing to you and what you represented.
Underneath our nice, friendly facades there is great unease. If I were to scratch below the surface of anyone I would find fear, pain, and anxiety running amok. We all have ways to cover them up. We overeat, over-drink, overwork; we watch too much television.
I mean, the fight for a health care bill to cover all Americans and leave none behind is attacked as being a race appeal, which is not true, but then it’s put out in the media as true.
Even when he was just a reality-TV star, Trump was the kind of star who got a cover story in ‘Time.’ But that wasn’t true. The ‘Time’ cover is a fake. There was no 1 March 2009 issue of ‘Time’ magazine. And there was no issue at all in 2009 that had Trump on the cover.
My dad was in a Beatles cover band. My mom wore Candies and belly buttons. The people in our family were very glamorous. They wore pearls like Jackie O.
Analysts keep having to pick away at the scab that the patient tries to form between himself and the analyst to cover over his wounds. The analyst keeps the surface raw, so that the wound will heal properly.
I’ve learned that you really cannot judge a book by its cover.
People often cover their mouths when lying. A hand on the mouth or even a touch of the lips shows you that they are lying because this unconscious body language represents a closing off of communication.
I wouldn’t want to cover a Hank Williams song in a country-western way. It doesn’t occur to me instinctually to re-create productions. I’m interested in re-creating songs. Putting different clothes on them.
In a magazine, one can get – from cover to cover – 15 to 20 different ideas about life and how to live it.
A financial institution has the task of taking risks, and if it’s a well run institution – say, Goldman Sachs – it tries to cover the potential losses to itself, but only to itself.
I have taken the marshmallows off the sweet potatoes, however. They would make a big pan of sweet potatoes and cover it with marshmallows. My kids would love it if I would do that for them!
Television is not the exclusive target of promoters. Is Superman really worthy of a Newsweek cover?
I’m not that ambitious chick. I’m not chasing a cover of a magazine or an award. I’ve just never been that girl. I’ve always been very content with whatever God blessed me with and he’s already blessed me with a lot.
As a kid, I’d buy novels with these magnificent Chris Fosse covers which showed an enormous contraption hovering over a planet, and you’d always think ‘Where’s that going to come in?’ And it never did! It was always slightly disappointing when the contents of a book never lived up to the cover.
Digital books are still painfully ugly and weirdly irritating to interact with. They look like copies of paper, but they can’t be designed or typeset in the same way as paper, and however splendid the cover images may look on a hi-res screen, they’re still images rather than physical things.
For me as a songwriter, I love when other people cover my songs.
I try to avoid the temptation with time as a total indicator for what my possibilities are for the marathon. It’s the not the best indicator, but it’s more how you feel, how you cover the distance and how you are able to do the training afterward.
I don’t accept any money, free products, or anything else of value from the companies whose products I cover or from their public relations or advertising agencies.
2017 was crazy when I made the ‘Freshman’ cover ’cause I looked up to it, and I really wanted to be in it. It was motivation for me after that: I kept on going, and I grinded.
I want to be on the cover of ‘GQ.’ That’s a personal goal.
I don’t know if this is too weird to say, but this is completely surreal for me. Bizarre. The cover of ‘Teen Vogue’ has been on my bucket list forever.
As a young man… you don’t know anything about yourself. And add on to that, you’re on the cover of magazines. People are interviewing you about what you think. You feel like a real phony.
I went to a boarding school when I was 13, and it was a very arty school, so there was an opportunity for a lot more. I joined a band and so on. We would do concerts at school, and I would play cover tunes and thought, ‘This is really great.’
Fox News covers stories that some other news outlets won’t cover. We ask some questions that other news outlets wouldn’t ask. And sometimes that’s perceived as bias by people who’ve grown up in a world where there are only liberal outlets.
Whoever stands for ‘one China’ will get our support. We can have talks with them, and our talks will cover anything.
I colour my hair mousy brown and I wear makeup only on stage. I use Laura Mercier – something called Biscuit, I think. I run one tiny sponge over my face and cover the red blotches. If I’ve got some rouge, I’ll bung it on my mouth and cheeks.
The real goal should be reduced government spending, rather than balanced budgets achieved by ever rising tax rates to cover ever rising spending.
When we were writing the ‘Stage’ album, we realized we’d never really done proper covers, where we were taking songs and making them our own and kind of playing around with them. I came up with the idea of doing a cover of ‘Wish You Were Here,’ but we didn’t really want it on the record.
On the cover of ‘All the Stars’ is a red grosgrain ribbon. It’s Loos’s ribbon. Ageless, fabulous Loos – she tricked the very people who would have cast her aside like an old shoe if they knew the truth.
The funny thing is I’m actually really insecure. I have a lot of girl issues – ‘I’m not pretty enough,’ ‘I’m not skinny enough’ – but there is a confidence I have in what I can do. I did tend to overcompensate to cover up other insecurities that I have.
Active-shooter scenarios have become part of the education lexicon. I had fire drills. My parents had duck and cover – nuclear and atomic bomb drills. Kids today grow up with this idea that this could happen at any point in time.
It’s actually really great to be a student and an actor, because I get to do this job that I love, then just when I think my head might explode, I get to go to school where they don’t really care about what magazine cover I’m on.
We cover hamburgers, chicken, veggie burgers, salads, we’ve got a pretty broad range. To me, McDonald’s isn’t only about the food. It’s about the prices, it’s about the way we eat.
‘LIFE Magazine’ decided to do a story about a young actress in Hollywood in 1954. And I made the cover. And I remember that the fellow who was doing the story on me said, ‘Listen, kid, I just want you to know, if Eisenhower gets a cold, you’re off the cover.’
Tim sends me a fairly ambitious workup in notebook form noting the passages we’re going to cover and the chronology of the biblical events, and his commentaries on those things he’s read and written.
Every Shania Twain interview ends with someone asking, ‘Which Beatles album have you always wanted to cover, given the chance?’
For me, just being on the cover of a magazine wasn’t enough. I began to think, what value is there in doing something in which you have no creative input?
