I love Cartier. They are the classic French jeweller.
Though Tikal may have been settled by at least 600 B.C., most of the city’s edifices were built during what is called the Classic period of Maya history, from A.D. 250 to 900.
I read everything. I’ve always got a book on the go and I’m really nerdy about it, I get through books and don’t remember anything about them afterwards. But I read all sorts, from classic to contemporary.
The first film I ushered was Lynne Ramsay’s ‘Morvern Callar.’ I started at 18. Best job in the world. Blockbusters, indie films, classic matinees.
I was in awe of Robert Osborne, the man, and his incredible talent. Like everyone else, I loved watching him introduce classic films on TCM. But I was fortunate to also get to know him in real life by spending time with him and being interviewed by him over the years at events around the country.
Growing up in New Orleans, when you’re in seventh and eighth grade, and you’re into music, and you’re a dorky dude, you know, you listen to the entire Rush catalog and the entire Zeppelin catalog, and you go through these, like, phases of classic rock.
The classic rules of American politics are dying, if not dead, if you look at the last two presidential elections. An African-American could never be president until one was; a TV reality star couldn’t become president until one was.
The trickiest thing is that a lot of times in ‘Venom’ comics, they’ll reveal part of Eddie, and he’ll be like a Venom body with an Eddie head, or he’ll do that classic split frame face.
I love classic Christmas. I love just warmth and a little bit of glam. You gotta have the silvers and the golds and what not, but I go a little overboard.
Saturday night at my house, I often trot out classic movies and force the urchins to watch them. There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but I think it’s important to teach kids about American culture, and films are certainly a big part of it.
The kind of classic pose of a female model is to look kind of sexy and a bit annoyed.
My mum raised us on classic movies and a lot of musical theatre.
I’m a little quirky, a little offbeat, and I’m certainly not a classic beauty.
As adults, when we attend to something in the world we are vividly conscious of that particular thing, and we shut out the surrounding world. The classic metaphor is that attention is like a spotlight, illuminating one part of the world and leaving the rest in darkness.
You can’t get anymore classic than being a part of a Disney animated film. To me, that’s something I can have in my back pocket for the rest of my life. I’ll be able to show it to my kids. I’ll be walking around Disneyland, and it’ll be bizarre to shake hands with Rapunzel.
I usually listen to classic rock and roll.
Whenever you’re trying to do your own take on a classic piece of literature, it’s almost like you’re trying to swim up your own stream or drive down your own path.
With ‘Stardust’, I hope what I was doing is giving 30-year-olds and 40-year-olds and 25-year-olds and 60-year-olds a chance to get the same sense of wonder, the same feeling, the same magic, that they got in reading the classic fairy tales as children.
Obviously, we’re focused on the Winter Classic.
Nora Ephron’s ‘When Harry Met Sally’ is a classic.
For my wardrobe, I like to invest in classic pieces and pair them with more trendy new pieces and accessories each season.
My goal has always been to make classic records, classic albums. Sometimes the recording process and the era it was recorded in means the production leans in a particular way, but to me they are all part of the same process.
My favorite composers are the ones that tell the story. I love Wagner. I love Mahler. Prokofiev. The programmatic music. I listen more to classic rock because I don’t like the contemporary music very much.
There is nothing more classic in the realm of casual than jeans and a white tee – a look that is inherently Americana and reminiscent of the American Dream – an optimistic dream of opportunity, individuality, freedom, and the embodiment of one living their truth.
It was like a classic thing with Emma. So I walked in and I slammed the door and everything fell off the wall on the set. It was my second or third scene and I was so embarrassed and scared and so nervous about what everyone would say, but everyone just packed up laughing.
People think I only wear new clothes, that I’m very trendy, but I like classic things on me, to mix with a trendy pair of shoes.
All the classic bands that have been around forever, they came up gradually.
There’s nothing classic about what’s around now. I am a bit old-school. There are some things that are never out of fashion because they just look good. But if you want classic style these days you have to get it made.
I had thought for years, probably 30 or 40 years, that it would be a lot of fun to try my hand at a classic English mystery novel… I love that form very much because the reader is so familiar with all of the types of characters that are in there that they already identify with the book.
I watch a lot of classic movies – my TV guilty pleasures are ‘The Wonder Years’ or the original ‘MASH’ show.
I love ‘Jungle Book’ and all the classics growing up, but what I learned about this is that these Disney films are basically classic fables that have been told for thousands of years.
So that what you tend to see is someone like a Rush Limbaugh, he’s the classic case because he’s the most successful, he didn’t sort of like come out of his mother’s womb with the highest ratings in the country.
If people ask me to describe my look, I always say: ‘Quite classic with an edge.’
‘Mother India’ is a classic that I love.
The spark for ‘In Praise of Slowness’ came when I began reading to my children. Every parent knows that kids like their bedtime stories read at a gentle, meandering pace. But I used to be too fast to slow down with the Brothers Grimm. I would zoom through the classic fairy tales, skipping lines, paragraphs, whole pages.
When we think of classic American desserts, we tend to imagine apple pie and ice cream. However, the most classic American dessert of all might be the chocolate chip cookie.
The advent of DVD/Blu-ray reissues of classic Hollywood and foreign films has been a boon to film buffs, who can now study their favorites in all their glistening detail and restored palettes.
Those who claim that to leave the E.U. would damage the City are the very same as those who in the past confidently predicted, with a classic failure of understanding, that the City would be gravely damaged if the U.K. failed to adopt the euro as its currency.
I’m not big on sequels; I’ve done them, but I like doing little things that have their own timelessness to them, classic type things, and then you go onto something new.
Your classic guacamole is just avocados, lime juice, and salt.
When people see my show, they may not laugh out loud as they do with some of the classic comedians, but they do enjoy it. I regret that I called it comedy to begin with; I should have called it ‘An Evening With’ or put it down as spoken word. But the emphasis is always on funny stories.
One of the things I do as a food writer is to take a classic recipe made with meat, look at it a whole lot, and tinker with it according to my taste.
We already do a couple numbers with chairs – chairs being a classic, Bob Fosse-ish, showbizzy prop, but the punk element is that it’s just me and Stephanie and this funky band from Austin.
Something happened when I was in elementary school. A Disney artist named Bruce McIntyre retired, and he had done drawings for ‘Pinocchio’ and ‘Snow White’ that was just classic stuff. He moved to the town I grew up in, Carlsbad, and he became a part-time art teacher at our elementary school.
In a way, a lot of my humor comes from presenting things that are dramatic or shocking and then people not having socially appropriate responses, having people denying the drama by failing to react to it, and that’s a really classic form of humor.
I don’t think of myself as a metafictional writer at all. I think of myself as a classic writer, a realist writer, who tends to have flights of fancy at times, but nevertheless, my feet are mostly on the ground.
I totally hate when somebody takes a classic and desecrates it. I like Jimmy Page and P. Diddy, but what they did to ‘Kashmir’ was a debacle.
The shock of the way I mix patterns and fabrics can be disconcerting, but what I am trying to do is provoke new ideas about how pieces can be put together in different ways. I think this is a more modern way to wear clothes that in themselves are fairly classic.
I love chocolate mousse, that’s probably my favorite. I’m a big strawberry shortcake fan as well. I’m not mad at classic vanilla either. I’m not, I’m not sure what the word is. Cake discriminatory? Cakeist?
Learn at least two classic ballroom dances, at least one of them Latin.
There’s a classic element that all good Disney movies have. It really comes down to the storytelling, I think. It manages to push all of these buttons inside of us; there’s a sentimentality.
Robert Osborne either has the best job in the world, or comes very close. As millions of viewers know, Osborne is the resident host of the great Turner Classic Movies (TCM) channel, the most reliable source of pure enchantment in the cable universe.
