You might say that when you step inside, you’re entering a honorific space, but that’s something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us.
My guitar heroes are Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck and people like that – so I’ve tried to make an album of Robert Johnson covers that, well, while not totally faithful for blues purists, is faithful for people like me that grew up with the ’60s and the electric blues-rock versions of Johnson’s songs.

People who are friends with me and who know me, know a side of me that is totally not cold.
I am totally against the idea that a Muslim woman should not have the same opportunities as a Muslim man to learn, to open up, to work, help shape the future. To close Islam down to a sexist approach is totally intolerable and ridiculous. It’s not Islam.
In black neighborhoods, everybody appreciated comedy about real life. In the white community, fantasy was funnier. I started looking for the jokes that were equally hilarious across the board, for totally different reasons.
The biggest change we have to tackle that’s out there is that we’re digging the hole deeper and deeper and spending is totally out of control.

I kind of like the challenge of jumping into totally different spaces and styles and figuring out how to fit in.
I made just about every mistake a person could make before God came into my heart. If some of those painful experiences can help someone avoid the same mistakes I made, then perhaps my heartache was not totally in vain.
I totally relate to Tom Cruise. He’s not crazy, it’s just the litany of the mid-life crisis.
We have a lot of rookies in the lineup. More than anybody, I would say. Its going to be something new for them. They have to understand that it’s totally different hockey in the playoffs. Starting with the fans, the intensity of the game, every mistake counts.
Everyone is different, but I’m not standoffish at all. I’m not one of those people who prefer to write a note. I’ll walk right up to you and ask you out! Even if the answer’s no, I’m totally cool with it.
Is it not evident that the Canadas, as well as the other colonies, have been left in a great measure to grope their way as they could through the darkness which surrounds them, almost totally unaided by the parent state?

I’m writing a book called ‘The Indisputable Existence of Santa Claus’ about the maths of Christmas: how to set up a secret Santa so it’s totally fair; how to decorate your tree mathematically; how to win at Monopoly.

If I were going to stay in coaching, I would have stayed right there because I was totally happy.
So it’s really hard for a horn player to comp. But I’m totally into trying to switch those paradigms around and find a little magic space where that works, and try to mine that.

My mother, Lillie Specter, was an angel and totally uninterested in politics.
I like new ballets because they’re totally new. As you get older, new experiences are harder and harder to come by, so it’s pretty great to have a new experience.

No, the seventies was a totally different sensibility and that allowed us to break new ground as a cop show.

My mother totally protected me as a model. She took me on every look-see, she was there on the set if I wanted her to be.
Zumba is so energising and refreshing. It’s totally fun. My face turns red at the end of the session, and I feel like I am ready to take over the world.
I wanted to become me, totally me. The more me, the better. I instinctively knew this and I was right.
I think that part of the difficulty of being a celebrity is that you may have to hide what you’re feeling and you aren’t totally allowed to be yourself, because you’re in the public eye.
I was thinking that when I have children, that I should always dress as a character for them, so they think their mom is Alice in Wonderland or Cinderella. It would be totally messed up!
Human writing reflects that of the universe; it is its translation, but also its metaphor: it says something totally different, and it says the same thing.
