My mother – she’s a good old classic Northern European socialist – she’s totally wonderful, but she raised me up believing that rich people have stolen their money from poor people.
I have a large watch collection, and classic watches are especially important to me. I had a silver Rolex, and I actually gave it to my little brother. He wears it every day. He’s an actor, so whenever he goes to an audition, he can look down, see it, and it gives him confidence. It was a great thing to pass on.
The kaali dal from Amritsar, cooked in desi ghee, is one of my favourites. It is a very heavy dish, but you can’t leave Amritsar without eating this classic.
Hollywood style means classic glamour. My reference is the 1940s through the 1960s.
I have only read very classic traditional English ghost stories, other than Henry James, who wrote some magnificent short ones as well as the longer ‘Turn of the Screw.’ He, Dickens, and M.R. James are my influences.
My recipes aren’t classic recipes; they’re all fusion recipes inspired by all the places I’ve been to.
My go-to is a red lip. It’s a timeless fashion statement, and I’ve loved doing it ever since I was little. My favorite classic red is CoverGirl Lip Perfection in #305 Hot.
I am a classic Star Trek fanatic. When I was a kid, my mom and I used to go to conventions.
I loved all those classic figures from the ’30s and ’40s… Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart, Rita Hayworth. They had such glamour and style. I loved the movies of those times too – so much attention paid to details, lights, clothing, the way the studios would develop talent.
The Smurfs – and they’re this way in Peyo’s comics as well – do have a rubbery indestructibility about them. They can get bruised & battered. But they then just sort of bounce back very quickly, like those classic cartoon characters Wiley Coyote and Tom & Jerry.
I see friends who are in different genres of music, and they say they’re so burnt playing the same stuff every night. That’s why you see a country act wanting to go out and play an old classic rock song. But what cracks me up is that they all want to be Jimmy Buffett. I can’t figure that out.
I have been lucky enough to have had the opportunity of travelling across this country and enduring all the classic situations that go with talking to people.
My guitar is a mutation between a classic Fender Stratocaster guitar, which I played for years, and a Gibson solid-body like an SG or a Les Paul. It contains all sounds of the basic classic rock n’ roll guitars. It does what I want it to do.
I think Ralph Fiennes has had a really wonderful career; there’s something sort of classic about him. He does a bunch of different projects, but he approaches the work from a very sort of artful way.
Some comedians will tour and do these classic bits all the time. But now with YouTube and Comedy Central, people see your stuff, and they don’t want to hear you do that again.
My mother’s childhood was complex, disjointed, and disturbing. As children, we would gather round and ask her to tell us again and again The Story of Her Childhood. It was Grimmsian, Andersenesque: a classic fairy tale replete with goodies and baddies.
For men, it’s about finding the perfect shoe or the perfect pants that will last you through the years. That’s how I want to shop: sustainable, classic, great quality.
Obviously neither ‘American Idol’ nor ‘Dancing With the Stars’ is a variety show in the classic sense, but the way they incorporate elements of drama, comedy and suspense is moderately ingenious.
What draws me in is that a trip is a leap in the dark. It’s like a metaphor for life. You set off from home, and in the classic travel book, you go to an unknown place. You discover a different world, and you discover yourself.
Bill Clinton wanted to survive. And Bill Clinton wanted to thrive, not just for himself, although that’s primarily what drives Bill Clinton. He’s a classic narcissist. So of course he wanted to thrive and succeed. But he also wanted America to thrive and succeed, which is why he worked with a Republican Congress.
The night before I began my career as a presidential campaign reporter, in September 2007, I finished Theodore White’s ‘The Making of the President,’ the classic account of the 1960 race, which opened up a new era of campaign reporting.
I don’t think I’ll ever stick to one specific look. I’m very instinctual about my choices. Some days, I want to look pretty and classic; others, I’d rather have a grungy street vibe.
I did a film called ‘Black Dynamite’ that was very, very funny. That seems to be a film that’s kind of a cult classic.
Russia is classic fascism.
Eventually we got to a point where ‘Riverdale’ came along, and it was a character that was originally written white, and I saw this as an opportunity to take a classic American character and make them Asian.
If I categorized home runs that I’ve seen, without a doubt the monumental one is Henry’s… but I’ve seen a lot of classic, great home runs. Gibson’s was probably the most theatrical home run I’ve ever seen.
La Flavour’s ‘Mandolay’ is a disco classic – I dare you to sit still while listening to it.
It’s funny, oftentimes the really great roles that I enjoy are in classic plays, and there aren’t many theatres in New York who will do them, aside from Roundabout.
My stroller of choice is the Graco Classic. It’s the ’70s Buick of strollers, bulky with a complete absence of style. There are no good lines on the Graco. Yes, it has cup holders, like any self-respecting car or stroller does these days, but the luxuries stop there.
On ‘Heartbreaker,’ I had to sing those songs. I drank the way I did those songs. I ate the way I did those songs. I communicated the way I did those songs. With ‘Gold,’ I was trying to prove something to myself. I wanted to invent a modern classic.
‘Frankenstein’ is a timeless classic. As science advances, it becomes more relevant, not less. Its fantasy moves closer to fact, its horrors closer to reality.
A good jean that fits someone’s butt right is just amazing. It’s just classic.
Personally, I’m very classic. If I’m going to wear a suit, it’s going to be classic, black, and fit very well. There’s nothing like it.
A lot of the strength of an RPG world lies in its foundation: its systems, lore, and when appropriate, its magic systems. While there are elements tied to ‘Project: Eternity’ that at first glance seem to be classic fantasy, that’s intentional – we do want to recreate some elements of a High Fantasy experience.
I got snubbed about eight times for the Mid-Summer Classic, and I know what type of career I had, and I know that I’m a true All-Star. The selection process is not very accurate.
