On top of my to-do list in preparing for Beijing is ‘On China’ by Henry Kissinger, who has had firsthand experience with every top Chinese leader since Mao, so his insights are valuable and his access is perhaps unrivaled.
Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I’m not there, I go to work.
I always thought the list needed to be longer. We needed to have a stronger representation of Jewish athletes, and I’m so happy to that I’m part of them now.
Think about the number of people who do film music, make records and have a Native American heritage – and I may be the only one on the list.
Someone asked me what the key to being a good frontman was, and I think having a sense of humor about it is pretty near the top of that list. It’s a very strange place to be in, and I don’t take that role too seriously.
Gene sometimes… well, he has his dream list.
Like the winds that we come we know not whence and blow whither soever they list, the forces of society are derived from an obscure and distant origin. They arise before the date of philosophy, from the instincts, not the speculations of men.
One of the core values of the startup world is that you must have a list of core values. Like all abstract ideas, they’re easy to dream up and tricky to implement.
I think being a good dad is on the list of things to do. But, I will always ski, climb, surf, and be out in the mountains and oceans. It’s who I am. My goal is to just keep doing it all and enjoying it.
I have traveled down this path before – ‘List of Seven’ and ‘Twin Peaks’ both have thematic similarities – but ‘Paladin’ took me much deeper into the intuitive underground. Always bearing in mind Joseph Campbell’s Rule No. 1: When entering a labyrinth, don’t forget your ball of twine.
I’m sure everyone knows now that only a few have performed in Madison Square Garden. That list is so small. Now I’m on that list. I’m a part of a very small group, which is unbelievable. You relish in that moment for a second.
Seeing your name on the list for KP or guard duty when you’re in the Army is like reading a bad review.
It’s quite strange looking down the list of players who’ve won the young player award in the past and then thinking I’m in there too now. There’s some great names like Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy – and I can’t miss out Chris Gunter – and it’s a big boost to be included.
I’d love to work with Drake; I’d love to work with Frank Ocean, Jay Z, and Kanye. The list is endless.
You lose yourself in the to-do list and never tackle those big things you promised you would when the campaign came to an end.
Catholic schools in Indonesia routinely accept non-Catholic students, but exempt them from studying religion. Obama’s school documents, though, wrongly list him as being Indonesian.
When you were a volunteer for the Bush-Cheney campaign, you came in the morning; you had a supervisor who gave you a list of calls to make and a time to do it in.
I’d split up with a boyfriend and gone to Vermont to stare at my navel, and then 9/11 happened, and I spent days being scared of what was happening in the world. So I made a list of all the things I wanted to do, and at the top was adopt a baby. Nine months and two days later, I brought my daughter home.
If you don’t make the best-seller list, if you don’t get shortlisted for any prizes, it’s goodbye.
I got so much out of ‘The To-Do List.’ This is a joke that I say about myself sometimes, in terms of my film career: I feel like I’m always playing the kid in serious adult movies. So, for me, it was so wonderful to suddenly be working with other people my age who were doing this on film.
I thought, ‘Let’s make it a check list. What if I got my education even though I lost my mother, even though my dad is in a shelter?’ and looking at these things as hurdles to go over. I could inspire myself.
I could give you a long list of things I like about Britain, but essentially what it comes down to is that I feel about Britain the same way I feel about my wife. I’m crazy about my wife – we just kind of suit each other. I wouldn’t say that she’s the most fantastic human being that’s ever lived, but she is for me.
I like zombies; I like them fine. But I don’t have a long list of zombie movies or books that are among my favorite things in the world.
If I can hit No. 1 on the ‘New York Times’ best-seller list, I’m thinking of having the entire list tattooed on my body somewhere. It would be fabulous.
What gets left out is the narrative between the bullets, which would tell us who’s going to do what and how we’re going to achieve the generic goals on the list.
As corollaries to the right of every individual to life and to full participation in society, the Declaration incorporated in the list of human rights the right to work and a certain number of economic, social, and cultural rights.
We can list a bunch of actors who have embodied characters that aren’t their nationalities, and I think that’s the beauty of acting.
One thing that I get from a lot of people with ‘American Gods’ is people saying that they would love some kind of glossary with a list of all the Gods and who they are, so that they can look them up.
There’s a reason I moved to NYC, and if I listed all the musicians on my list you’d grow weary.
Once, after a long week, I felt so insecure that I decided to make a list of people who thought I was funny even if I didn’t think I was. At the top of the list, I wrote, ‘Garry Shandling.’ His early praise protected me like a comedy-writer version of Harry Potter’s scar.
Always have a plan when you shop. Have your list ready so that you know who you’re purchasing gifts for and an estimate on how much you’re going to spend.
I have two young children, and they both adore books. Reading together at bedtime is one of our favorite nightly rituals. ‘Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site’ by Sherri Duskey Rinker, ‘The Giving Tree’ by Shel Silverstein, and ‘On The Night You Were Born’ by Nancy Tillman are always on our list.
Somebody made the point with regard to President Obama that, because he tried to do so much so fast, so extreme on health care, on energy, just run down the list, he went to… the fringe elements of his party to satisfy their demands.
I’ve ended up on some website list or some other list for super right-wing people. They’ve been tweeting some pretty rude stuff at me, so I think there’s a sect of America out there that doesn’t like certain opinions and can really take their claws out when they don’t like what you’re saying.
I would not advise people to buy a car or house without making a list. You will probably improve your intuitions by making a list and then sleeping on it.
Look, part of it is that those credits have a list of names of people who work so hard on the show. They do amazing visionary work on ‘Dragon Prince’. And Netflix lets you skip those credits so easily. We wanted to give people a reason to enjoy the credits.
