We used to be called the Dixie Chickens. Then we played at a barbecue place, and they had a sign saying, ‘Featured Tonight: The Dixie Chickens,’ and everybody started ordering it for dinner! So we shortened it.
I really want to work with Eminem. I know it will never happen, but I would love if he let me do a hook on one of his songs or he featured on one of my songs. It would be incredible. I’ve just always admired him since I was young.
I have a nice script for Salman Khan which is much bigger than ‘Tere Naam.’ I have bought the rights of Tamil film ‘Pithamagan,’ which featured national award winning actor Vikram who had also done Tamil version of ‘Tere Naam.’

A lot of people really didn’t expect for me to have a record with Kendrick, but I proved them wrong. It’s not easy to get Kendrick on a record, so it was a huge deal for me to have him featured on the song.

Women artists, no matter how well recognized they are, are seldom given solo exhibitions or featured in significant group shows. They are never top-ranked in auction choices.

The thing about the oceans is there is the benefit of water clarity. You can see what’s going on there, but a lot of fresh water is murky. You just can’t see what’s there and I think, for that reason, rivers haven’t featured so much on wildlife TV.
I started singing by default, I think. Because there was a guy in the group that thought the group wasn’t going to ever be anything. And I was getting ready to record, and I’d never recorded my voice. It was always other people that I featured because I thought they did a much better job.
I’ve been listening to jazzmen, especially saxophonists, since the time of the early Count Basie records, which featured Lester Young. Pres was my first real influence, but the first horn I got was an alto, not a tenor.

Usually all lullabies are featured on a mother and child. But in ‘Kalimannu,’ it is picturised on a mother-to-be who is singing to her unborn child. I found the entire concept so beautiful.
When Shanthi Ranganathan was the featured turn on ‘Hip Hop Saved My Life With Romesh Ranganathan,’ we learned she didn’t allow him to have a girlfriend until he’d finished university, and she learned – to her unfeigned horror – that he used to sneak girls into the house when she was out.
I got a call for ‘Aaya Na Tu’ the same day that Forbes featured me in their list of 30 under 30. That day, I knew I had established myself as more than just a singer.
Stock photos are used everywhere on the Net. Chances are, the website you are on right now uses stock photos somewhere – maybe as the featured image of the blog post. This also means that there will always be a large market for stock photographers.
When I was nine years old, I wrote a short story called ‘How to Build a Snowman,’ from which no practical snowperson-crafting techniques could be gleaned. The story was an assignment for class and it featured a series of careful but meaningless instructions. Of course, the building of the snowman was a red herring.
I toured with Skrillex, did an HBO commercial with Diplo. In the hip hop movement, I was the first artist Travis Scott ever featured with before he blew up. I had the songs with Chris Brown and Tyga. I’ve worked with some of the biggest artists in the world.
As a full-time model, exciting opportunities came my way, and I was lucky to be featured in the Kingfisher Calendar 2014. This helped me get noticed, and I bagged assignments to walk the ramp for well-known Indian designers.

I know what it means to have a leading part, and I know what it means to have a featured part.
I think you’ll see if you look at ‘Up’, we’ve focused a lot on labor (and the forces trying to keep labor down) and have featured everything from Wal Mart workers, to on-the-ground organizers, to union presidents to restaurant workers sitting at the table sharing their experience and expertise.
In science fiction, basic doubts featured prominently in the worlds of Philip K. Dick. I knew Phil for 25 years, and he was always getting onto me, a scientist. He was a great fan of quantum uncertainty, epistemology in science, the lot.
‘Anthems’ was a harsh indictment of American foreign policy; the video for the first single featured an American flag engulfed in a pool of oil, imagery which might have been risque in 2002, but seemed unimaginably passe in the last year of Bush’s presidency.
My family is Chinese-Taiwanese. I’m from Richmond, Virginia. The community in which I grew up was pretty white. The storybooks you got at school featured white children and an animal, or animals, and as you got older, the novels you were assigned were about, like, the problems of white boys and their dogs.
I want to see different faces on the covers of magazines, the stars of movies, featured on billboards.
When I look at a character, I never look at the size of the role. I always look at the whole person, no matter how much they’re featured in the movie.
I have a coffee mug that my dad gave me years ago that has the San Mateo police logo and my dad’s name on it, so I brought it to set and used it in a scene. I mean, you don’t see it, it’s not prominently featured, but I just wanted that connectivity.
I didn’t read a lot of comic books. But I was into ‘Dandy and The Beano,’ which were like a weekly pulp fiction that featured characters like Desperate Dan, Dennis the Menace, and Billy Whizz – pretty simplistic stuff but very entertaining.
I’m very passionate and believe that every time the LGBT community is featured in the media, people are learning about us.
As a woman of color and curve model, I never imagined when I started modeling that I would be featured in the pages of ‘Sports Illustrated.’
When I was still in the Yardbirds, our producer, Mickie Most, would always try to get us to record all these horrible songs. During one session, we recorded ‘Ten Little Indians,’ an extremely silly song that featured a truly awful brass arrangement.
If Radiohead made a video where Thom Yorke was featured more than the other members, nobody would say anything.
Stardom is just an uneasy seat on top of a tricky toboggan. Being a star is merely perching at the head of the downgrade. A competent featured player can last a lifetime. A star, a year or two. There’s all that agony of finding suitable stories, keeping in character, maintaining illusion.
