You’ve got to quit judging people just because they have an ‘R’ or a ‘D’ in front of their name. We don’t do that in Oklahoma.
OK, I have a nickname. My family calls me ‘Trey’ because I’m William the third. My dad has the same name, which is always confusing because my dad is well known, and I’m also known.
My most resolute opponents believe that I am too visible, that I am a little too alive, that my name echoes too much in the texts which they nevertheless claim to be inaccessible.

A great country worthy of the name does not have any friends.
My family came to Newark in the ’20s. We’ve been there a long, long time. My father’s name was LeRoi, the French-ified aspect of it, because his first name was Coyette, you see. They come from South Carolina.
I wish I had gone to Cannes with a film, but I had gone there for L’Oreal Pakistan. I cannot tell you the people that I was around, from Helen Mirren to Jane Fonda. It was a proud moment on the red carpet when they announced my name and said ‘Mahira Khan from Pakistan.’
I am a father. My son’s name is Max and my daughter’s name is Billie Grace. Twelve years ago Max was born with Down Syndrome. His journey has been complicated by infantile seizures, sleep apnea, dietary challenges and now, puberty!
He wants to be his own man and be recognized for what he’s done. He’s not asking for anything because of his name. That was a tough situation to go into at Alabama, but he probably wouldn’t have been given the job if the situation would have been different.
My mom is spiritual, and she always starves herself in the name of fasting. I don’t like it. I always fight with her for not taking care of her health, and say that God has nothing to do with starving. But she knows how much I love her.

So once I thought of the villain with a sense of humor, I began to think of a name and the name “the Joker” immediately came to mind. There was the association with the Joker in the deck of cards, and I probably yelled literally, ‘Eureka!’ because I knew I had the name and the image at the same time.
I was a bully in fifth and sixth grade. I wasn’t one of the bullies – I wasn’t strong or dominant enough to be one of the kids who bullied everyone in equal measure. I was a bully, in that I bullied a kid, whose name I won’t mention here. My bullying was selective and personal.

I think I’m going to put together a compilation under Disney’s name of my songs that I’ve done for them – because I’ve done six or seven by now! The latest was for the Princess Diaries 2 soundtrack. So that’s the next thing that’s coming out.
If I put my name on something, I’m going to be involved. I’m not just going to put my name on it and not pay attention.
Patriotism. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.
The story I get the biggest kick out of is when my name and e-mail appeared on ‘Jeopardy’ a couple of years ago. My mother was a faithful viewer, and she said she was happy that they finally had an answer she knew the question to.
My name is Linus, and I am your God.

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.
I do believe that the name, image, likeness for an individual is a fundamental right – that any individual controls his or her name, image and likeness – and I don’t believe that a student-athlete who accepts a grant-in-aid simply waives that right to his or her name, image, likeness.
One person may need (or want) more leisure, another more work; one more adventure, another more security, and so on.

I feel like a fraud… My name is not even actually Ashton. Ashton is my middle name.
The beauty of a finely worked object points to the beauty of the craftsmanship. The beauty of the craftsmanship points to the beauty of the name which was the source of the craftsmanship.

My mom has been calling me Peep my whole life. That’s how I got the name.
When I used to fight in the amateurs, guys wouldn’t show up for the finals and I won the tournament. They wouldn’t call my name when it was time to get the trophy. They called everyone else’s name. Believe me, you remember things like that. I’d say there was disrespect there. It’s followed me into the pros.

I was foreign and Jewish, with a funny name, and was very small and hated sport, a real problem at an English prep school. So the way to get round it was to become the school joker, which I did quite effectively – I was always fooling around to make the people who would otherwise dump me in the loo laugh.
