In a world where the latest app can sell for billions of dollars, there are plenty of ways to provide a minimum of humanity for those caught in conflict, who never had the opportunity to reach their potential in the first place.
I’m a bit of an insomniac. I go to bed at 5am because I get caught up in watching TV or listening to music at night.
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
The most fascinating and satisfying encounter so far was the goliath tigerfish of the Congo. I first caught one in 1991, and then again while filming the second season of ‘River Monsters’ in 2009. Its appearance is quite unbelievable, like a giant piranha, with inch-long interlocking teeth.
We are so caught up in our media, in our jobs, in our gossip, and in our consuming that we genuinely feel like we don’t have the time or energy to bother ourselves with the tribulations of nations near and far.
I got too caught up in Hollywood, being so into myself and my image.
When I was younger, I thought I had to shut myself off, work really hard to cry. I learned after a while that that’s just not… You know, often in life, you cry when you’re caught off-guard. That’s where I need to be when I’m acting, too.
Nothing is as easy to make as a promise this winter to do something next summer; this is how commencement speakers are caught.

Cinema dominated the Fife coalfield towns. We lived in Lochgelly, but my mum was caught up in Hollywood. She was in love with the style and glamour. Sometimes she would come with me to the cinema in the afternoons, and she would say things like, ‘I wouldn’t mind a peck with Gregory.’
Before the Kennedys were elected, there had been older Presidents. Then here was this devastatingly attractive young couple with two beautiful children. They were so intelligent, graceful, gracious and funny. They enjoyed life so much. That’s what caught America’s eye.
I was an immigrant. I came here at 12. We were caught behind the Iron Curtain until I was 10.
Going from ‘Shark Night’ to ‘Piranha,’ a guy holding a fish on a stick in front of you that they’re going to replace in post-production, it’s a lot different than seeing this animatronic shark that, if you get caught up in the moment, looks, acts and you sometimes think could be real.
You keep pitching. Most of the pitches run wild. A few are caught.
I’ve seen a lot of my friends go through different reality shows, and they just get caught up in a lot of stagnant positions, unfortunately.
I’ll look at superheroes and comics and stuff and wonder, ‘Why wouldn’t you dress like that if you could?’ With fashion, I look at it as a way to express that. I don’t really pull any punches on it; otherwise, you get caught up in this nexus of dressing like everyone else.
It’s so easy to get caught up in your own experiences. They can seem so important. But there are billions and billions of other experiences going on.
When I was starring as Roxie Hart in ‘Chicago,’ I got my stiletto heel caught in my fishnet tights and fell flat on my face. It was incredibly painful and not something you can cover up.
The first crocodile I ever caught was at nine years of age, and it was a rescue.
I don’t know how to put it, but yet you know we have so many people who the way they look at life, the way they work depends on what happens, us winning or losing. It’s kind of crazy. So, I kind of got caught up in that, I’m gonna try to stay away from that.
The borderlanders are people who are kind of caught in the middle. They think there must be another world out there. There probably is a God, but they are either turned off by the church or wounded by the church or wary of the church for whatever reason.
In L.A., it’s easy to get caught up in what you look like or how much money you have, and those aren’t values I want my kids to adopt.
When we are down in Mexico, I remember with my mom’s help we caught a barracuda and then we ate it that night. And that, to me, was so cool, to be able to filet it, see the whole process. Especially a fish that big.
I wouldn’t be caught dead marrying a woman old enough to be my wife.
No matter what happens, the U.S. Navy is not going to be caught napping.
Those is power being largely corrupt, recognize that a non functional and corrupt judiciary will allow them to escape punishment even when they get caught.
Hollywood is very much an industry town. Your life becomes caught up in all of the parties and this list and that list. That’s not something that I respond well to.
Social media – It’s not real life. I only caught the tail end of it in high school. It can be good, and it can be fun, but you can’t let it get toxic.
When we grow older, we start getting caught up with ourselves. We try and live up to an image.
I tore my abdomen. That ended my football career, which was what I wanted to do my entire life, and when that was over, I pretty much looked to just about anything, but nothing really caught my interest.

Jimmy Kimmel still comes across like a guy who crashed a party and got caught at it, yet adamantly refuses to leave.
I think Sacajawea was caught in a series of tragic situations – her kidnapping as a child, her being passed from tribe to tribe, being sold into marriage. However, I never thought of her as a tragic figure. I do not think she was a victim in the way we think of tragic figures.
Too much negotiating and not enough work on the court – that’s what happened to me during the lockout. Too much talking and not enough training. I couldn’t put in my usual offseason work routine. I think that all caught up to me, with my Achilles problems.

The details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line.
My parents once caught me conducting Beethoven’s ‘Fifth Symphony.’
When things could’ve gone really bad, rugby caught my interest and I really stuck with it. The sport brought me, maybe off the streets where we’d be fighting, into putting in a good effort in the rugby field where you’re kind of rewarded for that rough behaviour instead of in trouble with the law.
The elite media has been caught in so many lies because of false statements that its whole reputation has eroded, their circulation is down, and their profits are down.
In February of 1972, a snowstorm blew into Kansas City, and I decided to hitchhike to California. The roads were icy, snowflakes howling, and nobody would drive me to the highway, so I humped through the snow and ice and caught a ride with a concerned cop to the Kansas Turnpike.
My mother is old-fashioned; she raised us like girls from a 19th-century book. My sisters and I are known for being the most polite girls in France. My mother wanted us to be like royalty: never ever will you be caught being rude, or superficial or being a star or whatever.
In our local Baptist church, I sang in the choir and formed a gospel quartet. When our minister caught me messing with his guitar, he taught me three positions – one, four and five. After that, I taught myself to play.

Cinderella obviously got caught up in the hair metal scene, but they were such a blues band. And such a good live band.
The best meal I’ve had was in Tavarua, an island in Fiji. It was just before sunset.

We get caught in our little silos and end up working against ourselves. And I think social media culture really encourages that, because you’re really just shouting into a void hoping someone picks up on what you’re saying.
My weave fell off. I was running in PE, and it got caught in a tree. People were looking at me funny.
I first read ‘The Lord of the Rings’ as an adolescent. It’s a dense novel, a sprawling, complex monster of a book populated with a prolific number of characters caught up in a narrative structure that, frankly, does not lend itself to conventional storytelling.
You know, even with the ‘Awkward Black Girl’ episodes, they come out once a month. That’s great for me, it’s comfortable, it gives each time to digest, time for new people to get on to it and caught up, but oftentimes I have people who are almost demanding a higher output from me.
I feel like science fiction is so much more mainstream now than it has been. And I feel like that’s because technology has caught up with us.
