I loved Le Taha’a private resort in Tahiti. It’s accessible only by private boat or helicopter, and it sits on a tiny strip of land just big enough for one hotel. It’s extraordinary and faces the Vanilla Island where Tahitians grow vanilla.
Of course it was difficult accepting the change in TV trends. It all ended quite early for me. I was in my mid-30s, and I hadn’t achieved everything I wanted. There’s nothing on TV for people like me anymore. All they want are new young faces.
250,000 people turned up in Dublin to cheer me on an open-topped bus along O’Connell St after my world title winning fight in 1985. I’ll never forget the sea of smiling faces that greeted me that day.
I praticed making faces in the mirror and it would drive my mother crazy. She used to scare me by saying that I was going to see the devil if I kept looking in the mirror. That fascinated me even more, of course.
It’s always difficult to see yourself as other people do, but I’m realistic about my appearance. I wasn’t born with one of those pretty, pretty faces, so I’ve never been absorbed with the way I look. I just try to make the most of what I’ve got.
I can’t buy the happiness I see on people’s faces when I give them a fifty dollar bill.
I don’t have any complex plans for playing a character. I think all I try to do is not make too many bad guy faces and not ever try to seem too good. I just try to put it in the middle somewhere.
Nine out of 10 times these guys will hit it-they’ll be on something incredibly funny, but one out of 10, two out of 10, they’ll fall flat on their faces. That’s what makes them great actors: they take those chances, they don’t play it safe.
I love to see people laugh and put a smile on peoples’ faces. Anytime I’m doing that I’m happy.
I thought to myself: What are the most important problems that society faces that I could contribute to? And it was clear that finding new sustainable sources of energy was the most important.
I definitely was in the sequined, bedazzled era. We would put blue eye shadow up our eyebrows and glitter all over our faces. I probably put more effort into my skating outfits than my clothes.
You could say that it’s in talking movies that inner life begins to appear. You can see things happen to the faces of people that were neither planned nor rehearsed.
I wish to be appreciated not only as a film star but also for the person I am. If I manage to bring a smile on people’s faces, then I think I’ll be successful.
When we were starting, the only old guys you’d see on stage were blues guys. They played every night, feast or famine, skint, rich, in fashion and out. You didn’t have to ask them about their lives, their dreams, it was written on their faces: that’s who they were and that’s what they did.
Everybody forgets names and faces, and it’s just inconsiderate to expect someone who isn’t your boss or your sister-in-law to know exactly who you are.
Those women with collagen lips just look like frogs – ‘muffin mouths,’ I call them. There’s not a line on their brows, and all the emotion gone from their faces, like all those actresses in ‘Desperate Housewives.’
I realised that in my last two bodies of work – the mural and the Chanel pieces – that I didn’t use any make-up because I was changing the faces digitally, and I realised I missed make-up in a major way.
Our fans are definitely dedicated. We see them at all the shows, just faces that we’ve recognized for years. They keep coming back, and it’s awesome.
Humans are generally much trickier to draw because we’re so used to looking at and analyzing human faces. The slightest tweak makes a huge difference in how we perceive that character.
One faces the future with one’s past.
It’s more interesting to see new people on the screen when you go to the cinema. I don’t want to see the same old faces.
I believe there are lizards living amongst us. Do these humans who appear to be humans and look like us and act like us, go into the tunnels where their human faces, their human bodies – do they retract back into being lizards when they go into the tunnels?
I’d rather people talked about the 1,000 most successful French Internet companies instead of the 5 or 10 faces we already know – including mine.
It’s always fun to see faces that are either familiar or resemble yours. I was fascinated by movies like ‘Big Trouble in Little China’ growing up because there were so many Asian people in it! The same with ‘Year of the Dragon’ or ‘The Last Emperor’. It was just so great to see so many Asian actors working.
By 2050, seven out of ten people will live in cities, which will account for six billion people living in urban areas. That phenomenon is central to all the challenges humanity faces. If there is an issue to be addressed, then it is certainly happening in cities and therefore must be considered on an urban scale.
Our comedy is just falling over, funny faces, arguments, all the comedy basics, really.
I’m grateful for my daughters, Hilary, Natalie and Claire. Whenever I think of the future, I see their faces. They inspire me.
My desk faces the water, and I’m perfectly happy sitting there. I’m never lonely.
Every European country faces threats which ignore national frontiers: pandemics, climate change, terrorism and organised crime.
Clint Eastwood is aging beautifully. But someone like Burt Reynolds and others are practically destroying their faces in the amount of work they have.
Some scholars argue that although the brain might contain neural subsystems, or modules, specialized for tasks like recognizing faces and understanding language, it also contains a part that constitutes a person, a self: the chief executive of all the subsystems.
No makeup can substitute for faces that have actually been under the sun.
To see old faces, to give back to the kids and let them know I come from these same schools and streets, and they can make it out, too, that’s my biggest message to them.
Nothing is old, nothing is new, save the light of grace underneath which beats a human heart. The way of feeling, of understanding, of loving; the way of seeing the country, the faces that your father saw, that your mother knew. The rest is chimerical.
When we have all data online it will be great for humanity. It is a prerequisite to solving many problems that humankind faces.
Just because we’re on schedule is no reason to shoot bad acting. Someone once said to me, ‘You’re inconsiderate.’ And I said, ‘Inconsiderate? Bad acting is the ultimate inconsideration.’ It’s a collective slap to a million faces at the same time.
As the economy faces such difficulties, more tough questions need to be asked about what the Tories would do if elected. Their ideology of free markets and small government needs challenging. That has to be part of our job.
Any institution faces two basic choices if they hope to spark new ideas. One is to leverage the brains trust within their organization by creating a special event dedicated to new thinking. The other is to look outside themselves to stimulate solutions.
The most vexing problem Israel faces is its relations with its neighbors. From the inception of the state until today, Israelis have felt besieged, surrounded by enemies who want to make them disappear.
Winning the Asian Games is about the most important thing I have achieved for my country, and seeing the delight on the faces of the people back home is something that will last with me forever.
I saw firsthand the devastating consequences of poaching. I saw elephants with ivory hacked from their faces and the lengths private parks go to protect their precious wildlife.
Instead of more talk about salmon and high-speed rails, more criticism of the Supreme Court or more praise for the Soviet’s Sputnik mission – President Obama should use his State of the Union Address to tell the American people the truth about the fundamental financial challenges our country faces.
I do not think classical music faces any threat because new music is being made through computer, as the real charm of classical is its purity, and one who is seeking purity will surely find classical music in spite of so many alternatives.
As somebody who visits countless schools, I see firsthand the dire situation our educational system faces.
The coral that grows at the edge of the reef is always the strongest and most colourful because it faces the greatest battering. It’s the same if you’re called Honeysuckle. I’d have had a totally different life if I’d been called Mary.
The biggest challenge Malayalam cinema faces is territorial. We operate within a small territory in Kerala, and the Malayalam diaspora across the world in comparative terms is quite small. But we have world-class talent in terms of technicians, actors, and writers.
I often debate liberals on Fox News Channel who tend to start yelling and attacking when they run out of facts or common sense. I suppose these folks figure if they bow up and get in our faces, we’ll just back down and see the world their way.
As you lecture, you keep watching the faces, and information keeps coming back to you all the time.
For the camera, particularly, I feel like – I think that, as human faces become older, they become more interesting.
Selfishness is one of the more common faces of pride. ‘How everything affects me’ is the center of all that matters – self-conceit, self-pity, worldly self-fulfillment, self-gratification, and self-seeking.
