I don’t think it makes sense to set high goals about how my ideal woman should be. It is like calling for trouble. That would make one close-minded and not open to meeting different kinds of people.
‘To All The Boys’ is one film amongst a couple other romantic comedies through the decades that promotes… I don’t know what they’re calling it. A modern man? A man that’s more emotionally accessible and available and willing to communicate and actually care and nurture.
I don’t think a lot of people are calling me to play doctors and lawyers, which is fine with me. I can put a suit on, but I don’t really like to.
I still meet with friends, and I’m enjoying life at 97 here in Palm Springs. They are trying to establish a new theater here in the desert, and if they raise enough money, I understand they might be calling it The Carol Channing Playhouse. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? What an honor that would be.
I started buying bits of broken porcelain. I furnished our first flat with pieces of ‘junk.’ Some of that ‘junk’ is now worth an awful lot of money. What I was calling ‘junk’ in the ’60s people wouldn’t call ‘junk’ now.
When I got to the senior national team, there was another Ronaldo, so they started calling me Ronaldinho because I was younger.
We keep calling for accountability and reinvestment and a push for all of us to imagine a world where black people are not policed but instead supported and loved and cared for. Where our families can feel safe and inspired and protected.
I feel like whatever is calling upon you to do, I feel like you should do that.
‘It Girl’ is supposed to be something that only lasts a certain amount of time. They keep calling me an ‘It Girl,’ and at this point it makes me laugh, because I’ve done that so many times: ‘You’re it;’ ‘You’re not it.’ What is ‘it?’
I would see these people calling me ‘fat’ and calling me horrible names. And this one page called me ‘Miss Piggy,’ and they only referred to me as ‘Miss Piggy.’ I was a 16-year-old girl. I did not know how to deal with that, and I was already insecure about my weight.
I always had career goals. And I figured out a path I wanted to take to accomplish those goals. If that meant calling the best modeling agency in the world, that’s what it meant.

It’s no mean calling to bring fun into the afternoons of large numbers of people. That, too, is part of my job, and I’m happy to serve when called on.
When you have a sense of calling, whether it’s to be a musician, soloist, artist, in one of the technical fields, or a plumber, there is something deep and enriching when you realize it isn’t just a casual choice, it’s a divine calling. It’s not limited to vocational Christian service by any means.
It has been my observation that the happiest of people, the vibrant doers of the world, are almost always those who are using – who are putting into play, calling upon, depending upon-the greatest number of their God-given talents and capabilities.

My brain is here for the picking, and a lot of people are calling me to see what I think about their business, and I’m brutally honest with them.
When you do your heart’s calling, when you’re doing what moves you, all good things happen. That may sound a little too mystical for some people, but I really do believe it.
I grew up in an environment where it was permittable to use violence to solve a problem. But it was not permittable ever to call the police under any circumstances. That was the kind of doctrine of my household. My dad was a career-long criminal, and you weren’t calling the police for any reason.
For me, talking about the casting couch in the Malayalam film industry was like calling the sky blue. There is nothing new about calling a spade a spade. My intention was not to create an effect; I just wanted to pluck a few weeds in the system and throw them out.
You go to your public library, or you call your fire department or police department, what do you think you are calling? These are socialist institutions.

To find one’s calling is perhaps not the easiest thing in the world, but probably the most important.
Then as I was wrestling as Terry Boulder. I was on a talk show with Lou Ferrigno, and I was actually bigger than he was! I went back to the dressing room that night and all of the wrestlers go ‘Oh my God you’re bigger than the hulk on TV’ so they started calling me Terry ‘The Hulk’ Boulder.
The hardest thing which I’ve experienced is calling up my father, Rance Howard, who’s a wonderful actor, and telling him I’ve had to cut him out of the movie, which I’ve had to do twice. That’s a lump-in-the-throat phone call.
I thought ‘UnSouled’ would come in at around 400 pages, but it took 650 pages, and even then I felt like I was rushing the conclusion, so I asked my editor and publisher if I could divide it again. So a sequel became a trilogy, and the trilogy became a tetralogy – although we’re not calling it that.
My father was a man who didn’t consider himself learned. He was a man who liked to be a farmer. He enjoyed his dairy farm and felt the calling. So there was a dedication. I was dedicated as a child to the service of God, and so there was this continual centering of a greater purpose than your own.
I’m a very basic dresser. I’m not interested in calling too much attention to myself. I like to look cool without being too noticeable.
As far back as I can remember, my mother would have me down by the bed at night with her, praying. I can still hear her voice calling my name to God and telling him that she wanted me to follow him in whatever he called me to do.
No one in my circle calls me ‘Travis.’ Even my family, at a young age started calling me ‘Travie.’ So I want people to feel comfortable calling me ‘Travie.’ It’s almost like inviting people in.
I knew being a musician was my calling when I was 12 or 13. I started singing when I was six but didn’t actually see myself being a singer when I was 12 or 13.
When I first ran for governor… I had to stand up for segregation or be defeated, but I never insulted black people by calling them inferior.
I just love being in front of the camera making people laugh, cry, entertaining them. It’s the ‘nasha’ of performance that I enjoy. It’s my calling, and I’m blessed to be able to do that for a living.
I have to say that deporting people and calling them ‘bad hombres,’ then kicking families out with visa violations, upsets me.
I knew I wanted to be an actor, and my mother said, ‘Call Aaron Sorkin.’ It seemed dubious that I’d make it as an actor by calling Jews I knew, but it worked.
I say that I suffer from what Rosalind Krauss was calling the post-medium condition, where an artist essentially employs several mediums in order to bring to life whatever specific ideas that they have. For me it’s always been that way.
I’ve never done a sequel – so far, there have been too many new stories and characters calling my name.
Planet Lucy Press? I incorporated myself to deal with publishing and was calling myself Big Bang Incorporated, which of course has to do with the Big Bang at the beginning of creation.
The financial crisis and the Great Recession posed the most significant macroeconomic challenges for the United States in a half-century, leaving behind high unemployment and below-target inflation and calling for highly accommodative monetary policies.
I love the preparation before a fight. I love to research, and the process of finding little-known information to use when I’m calling a fight is incredible for me.
I just live my life. I go where I feel God is calling me.
There was a point in time, when I put out the Chief Keef diss, where I was so hot that everybody was calling my phone. But I decided to go set up under Wale, but he wasn’t really teaching me how to rap.
