A porous border is a danger to America’s national security, the people who live near it, and to those who cross it.
I’ve lived all over the world, but Harlem is very special to me, and when I decided to open a restaurant near my home, I didn’t want it to be business as usual.
Not knowing my birthday had never seemed strange. I knew I’d been born near the end of September, and each year I picked a day, one that didn’t fall on a Sunday because it’s no fun spending your birthday in church.
San Antonio is like a military town. It’s like literally – when I was growing up there, there were five Air Force bases, plus Fort Sam Houston. I was always sort of near the military.
The idea of building a Near Eastern house in Honolulu must seem fantastic to many.
‘Proof’ is a really cool pilot that I was lucky enough to read by Rob Braggin for TNT that’s about a surgeon who’s an agnostic, tough, grounded, scientific mind and she’s hired by a Steve Jobs-type who’s just been diagnosed with cancer to focus on near death experiences and what happens when you die.
I’m from Gary, Indiana, and everybody’s damn near at the poverty level. It’s a rough city to grow up in, and it’s a modern-day ghost town.
Race horses are like golfers, you’re never sure how they’re going to come out of the stalls. It’s just – hopefully the horses come out of the race all right, just fit and ready to go again in the near future, but 3rd was good. It’s paid for its hay.
The Environmental Protection Agency rarely follows up prosecuting coal companies and their fellow polluters, even when the evidence is clear-cut that they are dumping and poisoning entire towns near their projects, and the state regulators are even worse.
I’m a Buckeye at heart. I spend more time giving concerts in Ohio than I do in any other state – perhaps more time than I spend performing anywhere else in the world. I have a great relationship with the people of Ohio, and it’s great to be near the OSU when I come to Columbus.
When I got to New York, I immediately ran like a wild child to Central Park to touch the trees. I am like an animal about trees. I must be near them.
In 1977 we played America and Europe three times, and Japan – my marriage suffered as a result. My then wife took the kids to Canada to be near her parents.
For 10 years while I was at ESPN, I lived at the Residence Inn in Southington, Connecticut, near Bristol. I did that because my wife had a great job in New York City, and we had a place in New York City, at 54th and 8th. On Friday, I would come back, and then on Sunday evening I would go back to the Residence Inn.
If a typical person can do a mental task with less than one second of thought, we can probably automate it using AI either now or in the near future.
Absolutely not every idea is anywhere near mine at Lionhead. It’s a real collaborative effort.
It’s great fun to have the license to say damn near anything you want, short of being offensive.
If you’re ever bcc’d, do not go near ‘reply all.’ ‘Bcc’ is ‘blind carbon copy.’ It means you’re a fly on the wall, dude! If you hit reply all, it’s beyond bad etiquette to out the person who gave you the superpower of invisibility. It’s like screaming, ‘I’m a spy!’
Reggae is definitely a natural influence. Even living in Southern California, near the water, you get that reggae feel.
So I studied a lot with the balloon, and in learning how to sing with other musicians and keep in time – that’s all by touch. A lot of that I feel in my body, and growing up with hearing I have pretty good muscle memory, and I was born with near perfect pitch.
Four times out of five the linesman gets a better view of the ball near him than the player himself.
‘Liv and Maddie’ is very near and dear to my heart. I’m very proud of it.

We are as near to heaven by sea as by land.
I saw Ronnie Hawkins play near my hometown, Port Dover, Ontario, and I saw him play there on New Year’s Eve and the following spring I booked myself to be his opening act on maybe five shows, and he hired me after the first night.
A mistress should be like a little country retreat near the town, not to dwell in constantly, but only for a night and away.
I’m a geek! I’m a fan girl; I’m very proud of that. Get me near Orlando Jones, it will not be pretty.
There are people who have energy that say ‘don’t come near me, don’t get too close.’ There’s people like Adrienne Shelley who have the energy of ‘come over here and give me a hug and if you’re around me you’re going to be happy about it.’
I think every actor has their list of roles that were near misses. I’ve had my share. I was very close and almost cast in Philip Seymour Hoffman’s ‘Capote.’
I really believe in science. It is a faith. It is a reverence akin to religion. But as we always say, it’s different from religion in that, as near as we can tell, it exists outside of us. It has an objective quality, the process of science.
It’s near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.
Having been bullied growing up, it’s something that’s really near and dear to my heart. You probably won’t have many friends on Snapchat if you’re being a jerk.
My music reflects my strong belief in equal opportunities for all – specifically young girls and women. Many, many children do not have anywhere near the opportunities that we kids did in my community – great schools, public safety, etc.
I simply think that water is the image of time, and every New Year’s Eve, in somewhat pagan fashion, I try to find myself near water, preferably near a sea or an ocean, to watch the emergence of a new helping, a new cupful of time from it.
The only way to ensure that inflation expectations remain safely anchored near the FOMC’s target is to keep inflation close to that target on a consistent basis.
I make a dribble or a simple pass, knowing that if I lose the ball near the area, the opponent can score. I am aware of what I do on the pitch, but I always do it to help the team. That’s why, occasionally ,I also boot the ball into the stands.
A lot of people don’t have near the amount of success as I’ve been blessed to have, and it’s all about working hard and hoping that continues.
If Japan had been near to either England or France, war would have broken out long ago.
I don’t think that globalisation is anywhere near the threat that robots are.
To be able to inspire somebody just by doing something that you love, just by creating your art, is something that’s very near and dear to my heart.
Alexis and I actually shot the very first scene of ‘Gilmore Girls.’ What I thought was fast was nowhere near what has become known as ‘Gilmore pace.’
My dinners at home are startlingly simple. Every night, I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots.
My whole reputation and creative thought as a novelist is really wrapped around Harry Bosch, so he’s near and dear.
We have to initiate a bio-shield movement along the coastal areas by raising mangrove forests, plantations of casuarina, salicornia, laucaena, atriplex, palms, bamboo and other tree species and halophytes – all that can grow near the sea.
On the night of June 30, 1990, a minibus in which I was travelling was involved in a head-on collision on a road near Latina, in the region of Lazio, near Rome.
For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near; My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear.
Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth’s surface relative to other matter; second, telling other people to do so.
I feel like there are women who are genuinely born to be mothers, and women who are born to be aunties, and women who really probably not should be allowed near children. The tragedy that happens is when any one of those women ends up in the wrong category.
From the industry’s point of view, the problem is not that coal companies blast the top off mountains, turning the area into a moonscape and polluting the air and releasing toxic chemical into what’s left of the local streams and aquifers. It’s that the people who live near the mines are too cozy with their cousins.
Karaoke is something that’s near and dear and very close to my heart. I was a karaoke host when I was working my way through university. I was a full-time student and karaoke was my night job.
I don’t really have a specific style, it changes every day depending on who I am with, or the place I am near. In London, it’s a bit more punk.
If I hit the lotto, I would be nowhere near the road. But I got bills to pay.
I’d like to find great roles close to home and work on great projects while staying near my family. My family’s the most important thing to me right now.
I have a computer screen near my seat where I monitor the overall health of the vehicle and pick up any problems that might be occurring early on or once we see any kind of a malfunction or anything unusual that’s happening, we can look at the data and figure out what that is.
