I try to be classic without being mumsy.
It’s the classic story form. All staying equal, or proving equal, or being equal, this will all continue, and the next time around, we’ll move on to see what happened to Harry after he dove in the river, or who his friend John really was, and so on.
People consider Black Star a great album, and I think it’s a classic album. But the fact is, both me and Mos Def have made better albums since Black Star.
I think trying to maintain a classic pretty style is the way I like to go, like Margot Robbie’s style.
People thought ‘Classic Man’ was processed. But then they realized, ‘Oh, this guy actually is that man, and he actually dresses like that.’
The Shining is my fourth picture with Jack Nicholson, or as he says, our fourth ‘classic.’
Here’s the thing: Tanahashi has this idea that wrestling has to be a certain way. There are borders that you shouldn’t cross. Wrestling should be wrestling; there’s a ‘classic’ way. But the thing is, when I watch a Tanahashi match, I feel nothing.
You don’t have to be dead to write a classic, and you don’t have to be literary to be smart.
During my career I’ve enjoyed re-invigorating and contextualizing classic characters that are relatable to contemporary audiences.
Emotionally, shows like ‘Cheers’ and ‘Taxi’ were classic sitcoms when I was growing up.
I’m a big fan of old, classic American musclecars like a Shelby GT or the ’69 Dodge Charger, cars that inspired me through my childhood. They used to get me real excited when I was a kid. To own one and actually be able to drive them in America is a little of a dream.
Shoes are the first thing I notice on a man. I like classic styles – not too square, not too pointy, not too fashiony. There’s a fine line between too much and too little effort.
Ronald Coase, in his classic 1937 paper on ‘The Nature of the Firm,’ was the first to bring the concept of transaction costs to bear on the study of firm and market organization.
One of the best parts of Thanksgiving for me is re-watching some of the classic holiday blunders that have been depicted on television. I remember laughing uncontrollably on the set of ‘That Girl’ back in 1967 when we shot the episode, ‘Thanksgiving Comes But Once A Year, Hopefully’ during our second season.
Seeing the actual ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe’, I absolutely loved it. It became one of my favourite films. It was a real Christmas classic, and it was one of the most popular films ever in British history.
The big stadiums get totally packed, and everyone knows the words, and it’s screaming young girls. I met a whole bunch of great Nashville musicians, and they accepted me in their community. Classic rock and country music go well together.
The whole sort of debate of classic objective journalism versus a new immersion journalism – that can go on forever… I made no bones about my position: I don’t think you can be objective.
There’s a classic medical aphorism: ‘Listen to the patient; they’re telling you the diagnosis.’ Actually, a lot of patients are just telling you a lot of rubbish, and you have to stop them and ask the pertinent questions. But, yes, in both drama and medicine, isolated facts can accumulate to create the narrative.
‘8 Miles to Pancake Day’ is a reconciliation of the classic space-time dilemma.
You don’t have to paint your walls lime green just to try to have your home feel decorated. If you’re a classic dresser or preppy dresser or a modern dresser, you wear a lot of black – whatever it is – your home should reflect that as well.
I’m a Turner Classic Movies guy. That’s it. I’d much rather sit here and watch an oldie than anything new.
I’m the classic old-school entrepreneur that says let’s build companies of lasting value.
I’m very classic and structural. I love clean lines and interesting, modern details. But I’m all about being streamlined – less is more.
Cotton Mather is one of those classic figures of American history who can’t be left out. One has to explain him or explain him away, redeem him or denounce him.
The Cruiserweight Classic was a fantastic platform for people of my size, people who are similar stylistically to the way that I am, to show the world what we’re capable of.
Personally, I consider ‘Titanic’ the most brilliant example of successful counterprogramming; the film actually countered itself by embedding an epic chick flick within a classic disaster movie.
People say I am a classic designer. I don’t try to be classic, but I do try to be simple and elegant.
I’m a very keen baker; I pride myself on my cakes. I go along the classic sponge line, but I like to jazz it up: I’ve made some psychedelic birthday cakes.
I drive a 1965 Shelby Cobra. I love classic muscle cars.
Every day I’d say I look different. Sometimes I look really formal, sometimes I love the classic Stella McCartney, Chloe Sevigny and Gwyneth Paltrow thing. Other days I like being rock star and wearing leather jackets and studs. I love wearing Burberry – it’s the perfect combination of formal and punky.
Negotiating in the classic diplomatic sense assumes parties more anxious to agree than to disagree.
In college, my voice never quite fit the classic ones like ‘Music Man’ or ‘Carousel’.
I like a lot of Ralph Lauren and classic styles… My style has changed in that I’m willing to try more things.
‘We Will Rock You’ we didn’t think was a single. We almost saw it like an introduction to ‘We Are the Champions,’ which is a more classic, very grand song.
I started out doing a lot of theater, a lot of Shakespeare, classic plays.
‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ it turns out, is a classic Batman epic.
I like the old, classic scary movies. I love ‘Psycho,’ ‘The Sixth Sense,’ and ‘Poltergeist.’
There’s nothing wrong with the classic ways of adapting stuff.
Christian Louboutin – his shoes are classic and can be worn for any occasion. I love the feel of Prada shoes and the comfort of Fendi. I like Miu Miu and Nicholas Kirkwood. A shoe can decide how stylish you are.
Selfies became too big. The selfie photos are not good. Fans ask me for a selfie, and I say, ‘Let’s just do a photo.’ I’m not anti-selfie, but I like a classic photograph.
Some people think that my shows are just for shock value, but the provocation makes those classic pieces look different every six months. You don’t need to see the same gray suit every season. But surrounding it with 40 really interesting ideas makes it feel new.
Chipotle is based on a very simple idea: We start with great ingredients, prepare them using classic cooking techniques, and serve them in a way that allows people to get exactly what they want.
Education is a bubble in a classic sense. To call something a bubble, it must be overpriced, and there must be an intense belief in it.
If you look at classic Hollywood films, they tend to shoot close-ups on quite long lenses and the background it out of focus. You know, it’s just a mush.
You really can’t do a remake. I mean, ‘King Kong’ needed its turn to be remade. It needed an update. But the ‘Bad News Bears,’ or ‘The Shaggy D.A.,’ those are classic movies. I think they did a good job of remaking them, but it’s just not the same thing. Nobody can top Tatum O’Neal. It just isn’t the same.
I like hard rock, and classic rock, and even metal.
I’ve always been interested in public health approaches because it seems to me we have this yearning for silver bullets, and that is not in fact how change comes about. Change comes through silver buckshot – a lot of little things that achieve results. That’s a classic public health approach.
I like timeless and classic pieces with an interesting and modern twist. And I love a little funk!
Michael Schultz’s ‘Cooley High’ is a classic. Oftentimes, we don’t get to see films about coming of age, especially for young African Americans.
My dad was a singer. Old classic stuff like ‘Brown Eyed Girl,’ or ‘Delilah’ if he was getting really dramatic. And there was always a gig. All the men would go out and play, congregate back at our house, and I would be up with them wailing into the wee hours.
‘I Love Lucy,’ the first classic, really belonged more to the Wacky Woman genre than the domestic sitcom; ‘My Little Margie’ and ‘I Married Joan’ were among the shrill, coarse imitations.
When it comes to movies, if it’s a classic or award-winner, I promise I’ve never seen it. But if it’s anything superhero-related, I’ve probably watched it 100 times.
I guess when we were up against it, we knew this album was going to be compared to all the classic early material, because it was going back to the original five.
When I buy clothes, I like to buy them in outfits so I know they go together. I like a very simple, natural style. I never like to be the attention getter; I like to come under the radar and be cool about my look, very classic and stylish. I’m not into fads.
I love Adele; she’s a timeless, classic beauty. I think she’s beautiful. She’s just a real woman.

Salsa, classic rock, soul music, jazz… all of that was a part of my education in making hip-hop music.
I don’t hero worship for the sake of hero worship. When I find people who are truly remarkable – and I think Joseph Needham is a classic example – I do value their counsel.
