Well, let me tell you, any conservative that’s unhappy with George Bush warms my heart, in any way that they can wake up and smell the coffee would be really great.
I think economics is about passion. Economic progress, whether it is a two-person coffee shop or whether it is Netscape, is about people with brave ideas. Because it is brave to mortgage the house, when you’ve got two kids, to start a coffee shop.
Diet-wise, I practice intermittent fasting, keeping me alert, as the body is using up its energy stores. It keeps my diet in check, so I’m just on black coffee and water, maybe a fruit round 1 P. M.
In order to satirize adequately, I think you need to bring people down to Earth and be like, ‘Yeah, these people drink coffee and have tummy troubles and they go to the bathroom like anybody else, and they all have relationship problems, if they even have relationships.’
I know coffee tastes even better with a little something to munch on between sips. But make that an apple or some other fruit.
I’ve given up coffee, made diet changes.
I follow blogs, particularly all the main political ones – Guido Fawkes, Iain Dale, Coffee House, Paul Waugh, Iain Martin in the Wall Street Journal, and so on. And some American ones, like the Huffington Post, Gawker, Boing Boing; or Eater and Daily Candy, also American, which are about where to go to eat.
Science may never come up with a better office communication system than the coffee break.
I drink a lot of coffee. I don’t know if it’s good for you, but I drink a lot of it.
When I find myself whining, and I’m like, ‘God, it’s wet,’ there will always be one guy who never got into the heat tent, who didn’t get past the coffee, and he’s still there, and this guy is smiling. You know, I gotta get over myself.
I like cappuccino, actually. But even a bad cup of coffee is better than no coffee at all.
I eliminated coffee and fish from my diet. The pesticides in coffee and fish, as well as the mercury in the latter, are considered possible contributors to birth defects in fetal tissue.
I only drink coffee grown in high altitude rain forests.
My wife made me a book of photographs she took of our road trip across the United States. Makes for a good coffee table book.
Machismo requires Latin blood. I’d say I never experienced machismo up close until I worked in a French office; the typical Wall Street gunner has the soul of a coffee filter in comparison.
Meetings with no goal, also known as ‘coffee shop’ meetings, can be huge time wasters if you’re not efficient with them. ‘Always know why you’re meeting, and make sure it’s important – try to keep them to 30 minutes, max.
I had the pleasure of working for Hart Hanson as the writers’ assistant on the Fox show ‘Bones.’ He was always willing to take five minutes in the kitchen and answer questions I had about writing and the business. Looking back now, I realize he might have just been politely waiting for the coffee to brew.
The trick in foraging for a tooth lost in coffee grounds is not to be misled by the clumps. The only way to be sure is to rub each clump between your thumb and index finger, which makes a mess of your hands.
If it wasn’t for the coffee, I’d have no identifiable personality whatsover.
There are those who love to get dirty and fix things. They drink coffee at dawn, beer after work. And those who stay clean, just appreciate things. At breakfast they have milk and juice at night. There are those who do both, they drink tea.
I went to a nutritionist; my diet is pretty clean, but I wanted to get some more knowledge and understanding in some areas. My two favorite things, Clif Bars and lattes, she just destroyed in our first meeting. Coffee is fine, but soy is the most genetically modified food that we eat.
All of us ’60s pop stars came from old cities which had a jazz club, a folk club, a coffee house, and an art school.
Emotions are contagious. We’ve all known it experientially. You know after you have a really fun coffee with a friend, you feel good. When you have a rude clerk in a store, you walk away feeling bad.
I can definitely eat more of some candy than I should, so I have found that if I have coffee or a chai latte, it curbs the sugar craving.
I love Sunday-morning drives. I’ll be up at 6 A.M., get a cup of coffee, and head out.
I don’t drink coffee. I’ve never had a cup of coffee in my entire life. That’s something you probably don’t know about me. I’ve hated the taste since I was a kid.
I’m intent on marketing Jamaica. Jamaica has the best coffee, the best sugar, the best ginger and some of the best cocoa in the world.
I often work and write in coffee shops, observing the baristas and eavesdropping on interesting conversations.
I will literally have a whole pot of coffee to myself.
If I asked for a cup of coffee, someone would search for the double meaning.
Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard.
If you write a good line, you write a good line, and the best line wins in television. It doesn’t matter if you’re the guy who gets the coffee or if you’re the showrunner – best line wins. That’s the beauty of television collaboration.
If you go to a coffee shop or at the airport, and you’re using open wireless, I would use a VPN service that you could subscribe for 10 bucks a month. Everything is encrypted in an encryption tunnel, so a hacker cannot tamper with your connection.
In India, you can just show up at a friend’s house, and they will feed you; you can borrow someone’s clothes and touch each other. In London, they would say, ‘Oh, let’s meet for coffee at 4:15, and we will talk about, I don’t know, this play that we saw.’
If you have people who are high-performing working for you, it’s so easy to do your job. Otherwise, you can’t even agree on the time of the meeting or who will bring the coffee.
‘Real Steel’ was this lovely little piece where I held a cup of coffee and talked to Hugh Jackman for three weeks. And that sounded kind of nice.
I don’t drink tea or coffee. I’m like a child: I like fruit juices and sodas and creamy hot chocolate.
I have, like, two best friends, one that I grew up with who’s not an actor, and one that is an actor that lives near me in Wales, and they’re my friends. I don’t have any other friends, really, in the industry. I have acquaintances and people that I will go out for coffee with.
I like England more than I did when I left. It’s become a bit of a better country in the last ten years, in the attitude of it. A bit more Americanized, which is both good and bad. At least when you order a cup of coffee they don’t give you a hard time.
One of my favorite things is to have a three-hour conversation over coffee with someone.
I did every odd job you could possibly imagine: Holding a sign in the rain for 14 hours straight, sweeping up cigarette butts, pouring coffee, running around – anything I could to be on a film set. I wanted to be in the business. So I’d say, ‘You need that job done? Fine,’ and I became indispensable to people.
I love making a body scrub with ground-up coffee and coconut oil. It’s really good for circulation, and it smells delicious. I also do a DIY Greek-yogurt-and-honey mask that softens your skin and helps reduce puffy eyes.
To say the Internet is the death of books and movies is like saying someone invented a new, more efficient kind of cup and it heralds the death of coffee – a new improved form of carrying something, which is essentially what the Internet is, should be helpful to our business.
A girl in a bikini is like having a loaded pistol on your coffee table – There’s nothing wrong with them, but it’s hard to stop thinking about it.
If you aren’t taking regular breaks every couple of hours, your brain won’t benefit from that extra cup of coffee.
If mugs made fart noises coffee shops wouldn’t be relaxing, they’d sound like a yoga class in a retirement home.
Cigarettes and coffee: an alcoholic’s best friend!
Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks?
I wish I was a cool guy and could drink coffee black, but I put almond milk and raw cane sugar in it.
A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems.
I know that as a vegan, I’m in a minority. People love their meat. It’s up there with sugar and TV and maybe even coffee on the list of inalienable American rights.
Exercise is important, but exercise in a gym is not important. Go and take a walk outside. Skip the umpteenth coffee date and go for a hike instead. Take the stairs. Walk your errands.
I have a cup of coffee for breakfast every day, but I don’t have a go-to food. Sometimes it’s a cup of yogurt, sometimes oatmeal, most of the time nothing.
I’ll grab coffee with my wife and daughter and then am in the office around 9 or 10. From there, I usually have about 8 hours of meetings.
We talked about politics constantly in my family growing up in North Carolina. There were always debates. Being of Greek background, it’s in our blood to drink coffee and talk politics.
The mental focus it takes to compete against the best players in the world is not easy to maintain. Developing mental toughness is a learned trait, and if you can’t develop it in your pursuit of success, you likely won’t last in any competitive line of work for more than a cup of coffee.
I think one day I can make a book about coffee shops in Hong Kong. I spent almost most of my time in coffee shops, in different coffee shops.
