I’m a warrior for the middle class.

In those days I was terrible at athletics and never made a team, but quite easily led my class in academics.

You know, master classes are essentially extended Q&As. That’s how I always approach them. I don’t mean to downplay it. It’s just that I never fancy myself as someone who is taking a class. ‘Master class’ insinuates a teacher, and I’m not one.
We have to get away from the class warfare and recognize that we are growing jobs by helping small business.
What the printing press is to Christianity in the 16th century, that’s what the Internet is doing to Islam now. It has opened up the monopoly over the interpretation of Islam that used to solely belong to the religious class.

Both parents supported my becoming a world class athlete.
It’s a 12-hour cooking class for me on the set of ‘Chopped.’ You’d think I’d get sick of it, but it’s a source of endless interest to me. The only thing I don’t like about it is it’s a long day and my feet hurt. Otherwise, I love it.
Well, I wouldn’t say that I was in the great class, but I had a great time while I was trying to be great.
As a songwriter, I was influenced by David Bowie – a great writer. A class above everybody in so many ways. Lennon and McCartney, of course. Class stuff. David Cousins was my favorite lyricist.

The common class of mankind are actuated by no nobler principle than that of self-interest; this and this alone determines all adventurers in privateers: the owners, as well as those whom they employ.
There is no such thing as talking about class without there being implications of the racial history of the United States. You just can’t do it.
In acting class, teachers talk about how the ‘givens’ of a situation help define a character.
I am not an enemy of the Negro. We want him here among us; he is the only laboring class we have.
Me in high school, I was kind of a loner. I had a handful of friends. I’d eat my lunch in my car every day in my senior year. I went to ballet. I was a ballerina, so I was very focused on that. You kind of have to be. That was two-thirds of my week, going to ballet class.
I was part of Jazzercise class. It was an aerobics routine accompanied by loud music, sounding quite awful to me. Jazzercise was popular in the ’80s and ’90s.

But I don’t think the Democratic Party is at eye level with the middle class.
Let us walk into the conference room as equals and not second class citizens.
We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided by the ruling powers. White labor and the freed black men had their champions, but where are ours?

My acting career began when I walked into a drama school class run by Anna Scher in Islington. Anna discovered a lot of people: Linda Robson, Pauline Quirke, Gary and Martin Kemp, and Dexter Fletcher were among my contemporaries.
Albert Camus’s ‘La Peste’ – ‘The Plague’ – had an enormous impact on me when I read it in high school French class, and I chose my senior yearbook quote from it. In college, I wrote a philosophy class paper on Camus and Sartre, and again chose my yearbook quote from ‘La Peste.’
The precariat is the first class in history to be losing acquired rights – cultural, civil, social, economic, and political.
I think diamonds represent luxury, indulgence, and class. So any time you can incorporate a gift that is synonymous with all those attributes, you know the other person will love it. I would challenge someone to find something that better represents Valentine’s Day more than diamonds!
The classics are only primitive literature. They belong to the same class as primitive machinery and primitive music and primitive medicine.
If there ever was a poet for the working class Billy Joe Shaver and Merle Haggard would be my nomination.
Like all my family and class, I considered it a sign of weakness to show affection; to have been caught kissing my mother would have been a disgrace, and to have shown affection for my father would have been a disaster.

When I got out of coaching, I had taught a class at the University of California, an extension class on football for fans. I was looking for tools. I was showing them films. I was going to write a textbook. Trip Hawkins came to me about making it a game for computers.
We had a severely autistic kid in my class, and I was always picked last in gym class, even after him. Naturally, that made me feel pretty bad as an eight-year-old.
I love doing Jazzercise! It’s totally reinvented itself. It’s upbeat, it’s a great cardio class for an hour, and you burn lots of calories.
No longer should women be denied the right to vote, no longer should women be treated as second class citizens, no longer should women not be allowed to be a citizen at all.
I was like the class clown in school so I guess I would say I did like the attention. In church I did a lot of plays, my mother made me play characters, do a lot of drama and acting, trying to become someone else. So it helped me create who I am, to create Snoop Dogg.
In the lexicon of the political class, the word ‘sacrifice’ means that the citizens are supposed to mail even more of their income to Washington so that the political class will not have to sacrifice the pleasure of spending it.
I wasn’t bullied or anything at school, but I was quite shy and didn’t speak up too much in class.
I didn’t come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I’m proud of that.
