‘The Wire’ really is an American classic, and I think that’s something to be very proud of.
Shakespeare is practically our only link with the classic and the past. The future of education has much to do with whether we will be able to cling to him or not.
The best investment would be a Monika Chiang handbag. Her stuff is so on point. Her pieces are really classic, sophisticated, expensive-looking and they’re just chic.
John Legend is, in my opinion, classic. He is one of the best finds that has come along in a long time.
We can no longer apply the classic criteria to clearly determine whether and when we should use military force. We are waging war in Afghanistan, for example, but it’s an asymmetrical war where the enemies are criminals instead of soldiers.
I love black and white and very simple and classic clothes.
The treatment from the Arnold Classic to the Olympia is, of course, a little bit different, but overall the quality of the shows and the way they are put on… I think they are the same. It’s just that the Olympia has been around for so long, and it is considered the Super Bowl of bodybuilding.
The Disney tradition – number one, it’s a great American classic tradition – and it’s something where you don’t want to go over certain lines. You want to poke fun, but you don’t want to poke fun in a way that’s hurtful.
My fragrance is rose and amber, and I was just very specific. A lot of what I’ve done, at the stages I’ve done it, I’ve been a little naive, which brought with it a kind of charm. I did Stella a while ago. It’s now a bit of a classic.
I have Czech, I have Russian, I have English, I have Italian. Uh, what am I missing? A little bit of Irish. The Russian is Jewish. So I’m your classic American mutt.
But our energy woes are in many ways the result of classic market failures that can only be addressed through collective action, and government is the vehicle for collective action in a democracy.
Our silhouettes are quite classic, and the fit is very flattering. I just try to create something beautiful that complements the wearer.
What we try to do at Disney and through Disney character voices is really maintain the integrity of our classic characters at all costs. So Ariel needs to be me for every project, and if there are any other Ariels floating around out there, it’s not necessarily Disney.
‘Konnichiwa,’ to me, is a classic because I don’t make music for today where everyone is going to judge what I did in two years; they’re gonna tell me today.
It’s absurd to think of ‘Pride and Prejudice,’ this classic, beloved book, beset with a zombie uprising. The goal is to make you suspend your disbelief enough to allow you to get lost in the story and believe what you’re reading for a while.
‘Don Quijote’ by Cervantes. I read the original Spanish version when I was in high school. Such a classic!
The act of seeing any film generally is you knowing more than the characters, even if it’s the classic Hitchcock shot of two people talking and a bomb being under the table. Part of the pleasure of it is seeing where people go wrong, and the irony of situations.
Classic rock, psychedelic rock – I like to dig up old music and see what I can get influenced by.
I’m 5 foot 7, and I’ve got pasty white skin. I don’t think I’m ugly, don’t get me wrong, but I’m not your classic lead man, Brad Pitt guy.
Formal is formal. I can’t wear sneakers all the time. Sometimes, I wear other shoes. It’s not my challenge designing formal – it’s so boring – but it’s still important. I sell a lot of classic black sneakers made from every material because everyone loves black, and if you mix and match material, you get an opera.
I had a habit of watching classic wrestling pretty much on repeat in the locker rooms. With the influx of talent at WWE, with guys like Kevin Owens, he was one of the first people to open my eyes up to the world that is PWG and BOLA.
A lot of my friends have told me to read ‘Tao Te Ching’ – a classic Chinese text on the fundamentals of Taoism.
You know, I was really privileged to meet Woody Allen, who is now a filmmaker, let’s be honest. He’s also an actor. And he’s classic. And because I have no conception of what classic fashion is now, I respond to his slightly outdated sensibilities.
‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’ is a great classic by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, I sure love that song. I did like the classic version, a rock-oriented song, then someone heard me do it with the Grant Green approach – Grant Green and Larry Young did it, with a bossa nova beat on the funky side.
TPC Louisiana, where the Zurich Classic is held, is an outstanding course.
‘Rogue One’ does not feel like a ‘Star Wars’ movie. There are no scrolling yellow letters. There is no classic John Williams score. It feels like a movie of a different type set in the ‘Star Wars’ universe, a movie where there is no magic to save you. It is not a movie for children.
I love classic animation, and I especially love classic cartoon music.
The most classic French dessert around the holidays is the Christmas log, with butter cream. Two flavors. Chocolate and coconut. My first job in the kitchen when I was a boy was to make these Christmas logs.
I had the classic 40 meltdown. I did. It’s embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness.
I teach a lot of young musical theatre actors, and I notice that a lot of them say that they have a harder time connecting the classic repertoire.
When I was nursing my son, you’re up all the time during the first year, and you’re sort of brain dead. So I’d find myself watching Turner Classic Movies at odd hours.
In the past, people generally believed they could acquire magic in two ways: through learning the craft, either from another practitioner or from books; or through obtaining magic from a powerful being-think Faust or the classic, demonized witch, both of whom get their mojo from Satan.
I’m not someone who has a list of great books I would read if I only had the time. If I want to read a particular so-called classic, I go ahead and read it. If I had more time, I would certainly read more, but I’d read the way I always do – that is, I’d read whatever happened to interest me, not necessarily classics.
For Blanc & Eclare, we go by the motto ‘modern classic,’ and that kind of comes from me because I don’t like to overdo things and I try to be as natural as possible.
Really interesting genre films, especially monster movies, evoke the fears of the times intentionally. Our starting point was ‘Godzilla’ – the original movie was released less than 10 years after Hiroshima, and it’s a classic in Japan.
I believe investors should invest for the long run, so I don’t buy and sell. I usually maintain the classic index of global equities, diversified U.S. and global and emerging markets, and when the risk is larger, I diminish the amount in global equities and put more into liquid assets – but very irregularly.
There are tons of examples of U.K. and European mistakes. A classic one is pensions. That’s obviously not an America-specific thing. The British and European economies are suffering under the weight of what is to come. The next great Ponzi scheme after Madoff is probably pensions.
There are classic horror films that, if you are a human being in this world, you have to have seen. They’ve become a part of our culture.
I’m not a great one for classic horror or cheap thrills.
One of the things that I’d like to get back to that I did as a younger actor was to work on, you know, a rep season for a summer where you did two or three Shakespeares, and you’d do a couple of either new plays or classic plays, and you did a different one almost every night.
The London Olympic Opening Ceremony was excellent. The mixture of old and new, of classic and contemporary was a beautiful reflection of Great Britain. Danny Boyle is a genius.
I am very lucky: there are so many models that look so particular and become the popular of-the-moment models. They have such a unique and special look, whereas I am more classic looking.
I feel like I can make records where, you know, I can get in the alley and exchange bars with Styles P, but I can also get in the studio and create a classic with Rihanna.
The Emilia Wickstead customer is a sophisticated, accomplished woman who expresses her femininity and style through the way she dresses. She appreciates classic with a twist, yet luxurious and high quality clothing that make her feel confident, elegant, and ultimately chic.
Angel cake is an American classic; a delicate meringue gently merged with minimal flour and zero butter, angelic because of its fluffy texture.
I used to be a classic workaholic, and after seeing how little work and career really mean when you reach the end of your life, I put a new emphasis on things I believe count more. These things include: family, friends, being part of a community, and appreciating the little joys of the average day.
As for the American child’s classic problem – too much mother, too little father – that would be cured by an equalization of parental responsibility.
I’m not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It’s more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part.
