The actor’s life is the road. Always has been, always will be. That is his cross and his glory.
An actor is nothing without the vision of the director. The director needs to have a vision that will cross boundaries, that makes the audience sit on the edge of their seats and that pushes the envelope.

India is a little different from the developed world because discipline of any kind is alien to us. Along with the right to spit in public, we will resist all attempts to discipline our driving.

Admiration is great, but there is a line not to cross.
Movie stars are doing TV series, and former TV stars are doing guest shots. Everybody gets bumped down the line. That’s affected everyone in the industry. I’ve been lucky; I’ve stayed busy. I’ll cross my fingers until it’s my turn to be sitting around, not working. I’m sure that’ll happen, too.
I can cross the line when I’m making fun of people.

I’m still learning a lot as a songwriter. I try to write down and make a note of ideas that I cross paths with on a day-to-day basis, whether it be a conversation or something I hear on the radio, seeing a movie, or just thoughts in my head as I’m walking down the street.
The Rubicons which women must cross, the sex barriers which they must breach, are ultimately those that exist in their own minds.

1988 I also received from the city of Vienna the cross of honour for art and science. These titles and the various honors mean a great deal to me, most of all for the reason that they would mean a great deal to my parents too.
When you grow up being taught to worship, whatever that means, there is an array of body-rich symbols: tears, blood, crucifixion, the stations of the cross, transubstantiation… Faith is a belief in something that is irrational, and so to have faith, there is some correlation there with the belief in the art.
I’m just a regular guy, but if you cross me it will get physical.
I spent my childhood clad in 1970s hand-me-downs, primarily from male cousins, which mainly consisted of a selection of beige, brown and orange dungarees.

If we are ever to cross the 100-nano barrier in electronics, we need to develop nano structures that let electrons move through, as they do through wires and semiconductors. And these structures must survive in the real world of air, water, boiling temperatures.
What happened with Gutknecht does frequently cross my mind, but I can’t do anything about my situation. I need to carry on boxing so that’s what I’ve been doing.

Building a bridge, in my opinion, is a symbolic gesture, linked with the needs of people who cross over it, and with the idea of overcoming or surmounting obstacles. A modern bridge can also be a work of art. It helps to shape our daily lives and becomes a vital experience for all the people who use it.
‘Things that Never Cross a Man’s Mind’ is probably one of my favorite upbeat tempo songs because it is just a sassy song, and it’s a fun song.
From Blue Cross we reach out to about 14,000 school kids every year. No matter where I go, be it a police station or a corporate office, I have some youngsters coming up to me to saying, ‘madam we heard you in school.’ It feels great and that’s something I really enjoy doing.
I’ve never met Beckham, but I’d love to. I’m a massive fan of him. Hopefully we can cross paths and chat.

Natto, Japanese ferment bean paste, will never cross my lips again. Spam Musubi, on the other hand, is something I love. I used to have a roommate of Vietnamese descent, and he would eat it all the time. It looked gross, but I finally had it – wrapped in seaweed and rice – it was terrific.
People are even more wary of politicians and they are realizing that democracy isn’t just about putting a cross on a ballot every four years, it’s about deciding what you want and fighting for it.
I was embarrassed to be seen in my football tracksuit because they knew I’d been training. I used to cross the road to avoid people. It was really hard. There were so many awkward situations. I just hope young girls now are able to play football and not have to experience what I did.
I couldn’t make myself write serious; I was surrounded by serious: in monographs, in articles, in my own dissertation prospectus, in the very earnest e-mails of students telling me just why that paper couldn’t be in on time, cross their hearts and hope to get an A-minus.
