I think growing up in Vancouver is a different lifestyle than growing up in most other places.
In many places where coffee is grown, deforestation is a major issue. With Starbucks’ position in the marketplace and the respect and relationships we have, we can – and have, in some cases – been able to educate and influence people.
Actually, I’ve gotten myself into some difficult places because I thought I could fix somebody.
Look, I have no qualms about having played basketball. The game has done so much for me. Look at the places I’ve been, for one thing.
People create from different places. Some love to create from a tortured place, some from a joyful place. And when I feel like I’m a 5-year-old kid in my backyard playing pretend, that’s when I’m happiest.
At Christmas, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ makes me cry in exactly the same places every time, even though I know it’s coming.
Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
The U.S. is friends with dictatorial regimes, then invades places like Iraq and Afghanistan, and what happens afterwards is a catastrophe. In the place of their leaders, fundamentalist movements that use the name of Islam spring up, and all that’s left is terror and bloodshed.
I don’t try to hide who I am when I appear in public places, act, or attend interviews. If I do, it makes the gap even wider. I like it best when someone says I’m the same on television, on camera, or off camera. This makes it easier for me.
Sometimes I wish I could clone myself, you know, be in two places at once.
Roblox is less a game than a 3-D social platform where you and your friends can pretend to be in different places. You can pretend to be in a fashion show or that you’re trying to survive in a tornado or that you want to go work in a pizza restaurant, or that you’re a bird and survive by catching insects.
It’s nice to go to small places where we had a lot of fans. They followed our career and it’s kind of a way to say thank you to them and do it for a good cause.
Countries and places have a history, a story, and a culture.
Florence is charming, cozy, beautiful, inspiring – it has so many great places to go to and so many unique things to see that you won’t find anywhere else!
I tend to avoid televisions, politics, and places with velvet ropes.
Of course I danced a lot when I was making ‘Swingers.’ The swing music scene was big in Hollywood, and I went to places like The Derby. And, after I wrote it and was trying to get it made, I would go every week so I’d be good at dancing.
I love the accessibility that my great nation affords us, but it is virtually inescapable for most people in America, and many places abroad, to rely on inexpensive yet unhealthy meals as a main source of sustenance.
I am a member of the Kiowa Gourd Dance Society; I visit sacred places such as Devil’s Tower and the Medicine Wheel. These places are important to me, because they’ve been made sacred by sacrifice, by the investment of blood and experience and story.
The weather is the worst. I lived many years in Lisbon and then went to Monaco, places that are similar in terms of weather and food. In Manchester, it’s eight or nine months of cold, and that makes a difference, but apart from that, I’m really enjoying the city.
In my mind I needed a symbol of today’s technology, and I realized that what I wanted to photograph was the Space Shuttle. And so that’s where Places of Power came into being.
He’s very alive in a scene. He’s a very good actor to act with. Even though through most of the picture he’s blind, there are many places early in the picture I got to be with him before he was blind. Like convincing him in the office to do the picture.
I really love going places without a map.
I love actors that are brave, that are courageous. And courage to me is not the absence of fear, it’s the presence of fear, and they go to places that really scare them, because as an audience, that’s where you feel danger.
Because society places a value on masculinity, gay men aspire to it. If you go to a gay club and the doorman says, ‘You do realise this is a gay club, don’t you lads?’ you get all excited because you think, ‘Wow, he thought I was straight!’
Second, there are so many magical places in books that you can’t go to, like Hogwarts and Middle Earth, so I wanted to set a story in a place where children can actually go.
In India, there are lots of places that I love, but my favourite is Kashmir.
My parents would use all of their money for us to go new and exciting places, instead of a new television or a big car.
I do believe that there are places where the mythological and the literal touch.
Beauty is in the strangest places. A piece of garbage floating in the wind. And that beauty exists in America. It exists everywhere. You have to develop an eye for it and be able to see it.
We have to see that we’re a part of each other, and we have to take care of each other. The reason why they have universal health care in Canada and Britain, these other places? Because they believe if one suffers, everybody suffers.
A person places themselves on a level with the ones they praise.
The food in such places is so tasteless because the members associate spices and garlic with just the sort of people they’re trying to keep out.
Festivals promote diversity, they bring neighbors into dialogue, they increase creativity, they offer opportunities for civic pride, they improve our general psychological well-being. In short, they make cities better places to live.
When you are younger, the camera is like a friend and you can go places and feel like you’re with someone, like you have a companion.
Hiking in undiscovered places is a lot of fun.
I look for people who have drive, who have ambition, who are humble. I’ve hired many people at very strange places.
I like words. Words are places, rooms, distant airs, thin and tropical. They make us feel and imagine we are more than our bodies.
There are lots of other things that I haven’t done, places I haven’t seen. So eventually I’ll have to find time for those things while there still is time.
I love New York, and I’m drawn to a certain intensity of life, but I’ve just never felt like I want to escape from the Midwest. A writer lives a great deal in his own head, and so one intuitively finds places where your head is more clear. New York for me is one of those places.
That’s the miracle of fiction. I use it to spray on certain moments or places from my youth.
I get inspired in certain places. You have to write in places like Amsterdam or Paris or New Zealand, when you’re standing on a yacht, looking out at the middle of the ocean.
Children don’t have anywhere to go except cinema halls, malls and restaurants. All three aren’t ideal places for kids to grow up in.
After 50, the rock ‘n’ roll road is a little absurd. It’s very difficult to play these little places. You’re out there on a rickety old bus with no place to shower.
There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they’re necessary to reach the places we’ve chosen to go.
For time is the longest distance between two places.
I think the most important leadership lessons I’ve learned have to do with understanding the context in which you are leading. Universities are places with enormously distributed authority and many different sorts of constituencies, all of whom have a stake in that institution.
Children do not have to learn that streets are dangerous places by potentially fatal trial and error.
For people who mourn for old Times Square – hey, there’s a ton of places in the city still like that! Get on the train and go visit them!
Courage is found in unlikely places.
There is no connection between the political ideas of our educated class and the deep places of the imagination.
I hate Nassau and the Bahamas. It’s one of those places I’d always wanted to visit since reading Ian Fleming but it was full of casinos with Americans in shorts.
In isolated or country places no man’s life is safe.
Touring is easy. My wife will be with me a lot of the time. We get spoilt rotten, and all I have to do is go on stage in wonderful places and play music.
I’m crazy about my father, he’s an amazing man, a real adventurer. He took us with him to travel all over the world. We were in places that were so remote, that white people hardly ever reach them.
But I’ve got a lot of ideas, I bought me a ranch in Florida and I still have my farm in Ashland City, Tennessee so I’m gonna spend a little time at each one of those places and you’ll probably hear some more songs out of me.
It is very comforting to believe that leaders who do terrible things are, in fact, mad. That way, all we have to do is make sure we don’t put psychotics in high places and we’ve got the problem solved.
I love new places, new people, new ideas. I love cultural differences, and I’m fascinated by the truth – all the different versions of it.
The Occupy movement found places where people who were feeling that anger could come and share it – and that is, as we all know, extremely important in any political movement. The Occupy sites became a way you could gauge the levels of anger and discontent.
