Oscar Wilde was sort of my first love as a young reader. And then I went on to love Jane Austen’s wonderful – this sort of comedy coming from her. I mean, all of her books are comic.
But God can only smile because only God can know what is coming next.
I was in Florida with Burt Stern, the photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked a joint. The bathing suit kept coming off in the water, and I just ripped it off. I was very comfortable being naked.

At fifteen, beauty and talent do not exist; there can only be promise of the coming woman.

We are coming out of a century that was taught that one way of looking at the world, that one form of behavior, is as valid as another. The idea of true evil has been blown away.

I have become infected, now that I see how beautifully a book is coming out of all this.
Coming home, we stopped for a bite to eat and ran into a confused waitress.

When I was 5 years old, we had nothing in the village. One day, in front of my house, some soldiers in a big Cadillac started to do a picnic. I looked at them like they were coming from the moon. I remember they gave me a box of rice pudding – that, for me, was the American Dream.
As you lecture, you keep watching the faces, and information keeps coming back to you all the time.

I think people respond to dystopian stories because they’re ways of acting out anxieties that we have and fears that we have about the future. So much media’s coming at you over the Internet, your brain gets overloaded. You don’t know what to do with it. And one thing you can do with it is read a story.
The main environmental challenge of the 21st century is poverty. When you don’t know where your next meal is coming from, it’s hard to consider the environment 100 years down the line.

My father, Oliver Hynes, was an educator. He was originally just a teacher, a very good one, but then he was promoted to be in charge of education for the entire area.

One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.
In the U.A.E. we were the least-regulated environment in the region, and over time we are seeing more and more regulation coming in. On the other hand, a central bank can overregulate and choke the economy, and then we will have a dead banking industry.
I was fitting kitchens before I could afford not to – so I was still fitting kitchens whilst the first series of The Inbetweeners was coming out.
I feel my advantage of coming from a film family is – having seen fame up close, having seen the industry so close and how it works, I was not enamored by fame.
I’m attracted to roles that are unpredictable, and if I can get my hands on something like that, I’m thrilled. I like performances where you don’t know what’s coming, moment to moment.
I’ve always been known as a pure scorer, and I’ve always said if I just sat outside and shot 3s and just really focused on that – coming off of screens and spot-up 3s – and shot six or seven 3s a game, I would probably be more known as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history.
Life is a journey and it’s about growing and changing and coming to terms with who and what you are and loving who and what you are.

The physical toughness is the obvious – the ability to push through things no matter what’s coming at you, to keep going, to not give in. Never surrender. Usually the victory goes to the guy who can play through it the longest. Of course, the mental part is equally important.
When I was starting a small printing shop in Wembley, I vividly remember coming out of the cinema, realising I had spent the two hours worrying about that month’s payroll, rather than focusing on the film.
It’s really hard coming of age in today’s society, where society wants you to make the decision of what you want to do with your life by the time you’re 16 years old. Most kids don’t know what they want to do. How could they? They haven’t lived in the real world yet.
For people worried about the Great Recession and the uncertainty of what is coming next, the characters of ‘Mad Men’ are good company.
We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.

When you see a good horseman, you’re unable to tell where the instruction is coming from. It’s like telepathy.
Hitting a baseball well, as in cricket, is a very rare skill. One of most difficult things to do in the world to do, hitting a ball coming at you at ninety miles an hour with a round bat. Wonderful to watch.
Success is freedom – scripts coming your way and getting to choose the stories you want to tell.
The robots are coming, whether we like it or not, and will change our economy in dramatic ways.
In any merger, the biggest challenge is always integration of human resources because the people who are coming in have a lot of apprehension.
If making movies was easier, there’d be a lot more good movies. So you kind of learn that if it’s just a good script, or if it’s just a good producer, that’s not always enough. You need an entire team of creative people coming together.
I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States. No man can form an adequate idea of the real meaning of the word, without coming here.
I’m not even sure I want to use the term ‘coming out.’
I notice increasing reluctance on the part of marketing executives to use judgment; they are coming to rely too much on research, and they use it as a drunkard uses a lamp post for support, rather than for illumination.

Celebrity was a long time in coming; it will go away. Everything goes away.

To me, the technique was almost irrelevant; it was what was coming across.
