Over the years, I had nurtured the hope to be able to fly; to handle a machine as it rose higher and higher in the stratosphere was my dearest dream.
I’d like to fly.
I was skating with friends in my neighborhood, and then eventually I was invited to go to the skate park with one of them. When I saw people flying all around – literally flying in and out of bowls – that is when I knew I wanted to do it. I wanted to figure out how I could get there and how I could fly.
I want to act for a really long time, but eventually I want to be a Marine and fly F-18s or train animals at SeaWorld.

I learned to fly an airplane, and had my own airplane during the 1960s.
I work really, really hard and it’s challenging going through all of those time zones and having to be awake when you’re supposed to be asleep. I literally fly more than a pilot.
I’d like to wrestle an alligator and fly a fighter jet.
My roots are in stand-up, and stand-up is very freeing. There’s no script involved; you just fly.
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
I was lucky enough to fly to New York to cover the premiere of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.’
The list of what I want to do is so long, I would need a few lifetimes to achieve them. For instance, I would like to fly small planes, maybe over the Ganges one day.
I would compare my ‘Frankenstein’ to Cronenberg’s remake of ‘The Fly.’ The monster in the original Fifties version of ‘The Fly’ was a crude, anatomical combination of man and insect, whereas Cronenberg’s version exploited knowledge of DNA to depict him as a transgenic chimera.
I like to fly under the radar.
I’m like the only Kiwi that can fly, I’m the one with the biggest wing.
It is always good to work with a very regular group of people because we know how high we can fly and what are the parameters, and it becomes very enjoyable.

My mother, she made sure all of us were treated the same and had the same opportunity to grow and develop, so that when we left the house, we could fly on our own. And she also knew when we got out into the world, we’d treat others that we came across with that same treatment and respect.
When my mum was ill, I always thought the club paid for me to fly back and visit her, and then, only years down the line, I found out it was Emma, so she did some stuff for me that was personal that I’ll truly never forget, so I have got an alliance to Emma Hayes.
Another time, we had three days off in Australia, so we went out of our way to fly to Ayres Rock.
A lot of shows fly under the radar for the first couple seasons and then become successful. It doesn’t necessarily have any bearing on the success of the show or how much the network is behind it.
Those who gave away their wings are sad not to see them fly.
I was part of a hip-hop group called Fly Style. I was one of two white girls, and I was part of the younger company, which was called Touch of Style. And it was amazing. It gave me a different perception of dance and beauty because the other girls were mostly African-American and Latina.
We now fly with an airbus, which has 210 seats, six times the week to Palma to the spider of the air Berlin.
We have lost our vision for the future. Before, we say, ‘Nothing will be the same. Cars will fly, and we go to the end of the universe.’ We have this kind of naive but exciting idea of the future. Now, the vision has been reduced to ways to select our garbage and how to survive global warming.
And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.
My character Milly in ‘The Boy Who Could Fly’ was a very strong part. There were dramatic moments, and there were humorous moments, too. The whole story with Eric Underwood’s character was just wonderful, and the messages behind the script were very important to me.
Throughout my 20s it was all about achieving and working as hard as possible. To the point that you don’t think twice about working in a music studio with no windows from 11 to 11. And you don’t bat an eyelid if you fly four times a week and do promo in a different city each time.
I remembered reading about a disease called Leishmaniasis, which matched my symptoms. I’d always thought it was an old wives’ tale – a sand fly bite that eats your flesh. But when I looked on the internet and saw pictures of people who had it, their lesions looked like mine.
We always see the innocent victims in the stories, and I am a little bored with that. I am much more interested in the price paid by the people who can fly.
All the best to SpaceX, Orbital Sciences, and, yes, the Progress teams, who are all working on their own solutions to open the frontier along with Boeing and the rest of the fliers trying to fly, all of whom I know personally share the dream. This isn’t their fault; they just want to make things fly.
When I met T-Boz and Left Eye, they were buying jeans that were a size 38. Three little cute girls dressed like boys was cool back then. Our style was cartoonish but fly at the same time.
If there is a record I don’t have, I haven’t heard it yet. My collection is always growing, but I can’t really play it anywhere – no promoter is willing to pay for my crates of vinyl to fly with me, so I have a team of people to digitise it all.
I love what Eric Church is doing. He and I are friends, and he opened some shows for us a few years ago and I would fly him home on the jet. He is a good one.
I grew up in the 1970s. It was a super open-minded time. I was taught through my parents and TV that everything was possible. You’d see cartoons where superheroes would fly. I always wanted to do these things.
It is best not to swat at the fly’s starting position, but rather to aim a bit forward of that to anticipate where the fly is going to jump when it first sees your swatter.
I didn’t go to college, I went straight from high school to working on I’ll Fly Away, I was very, very lucky.

I would dream that this coffin had wings, and it would fly around my bed at night, and so it was a dream that happened a lot, and that’s what frightened me.
I used to fly around the stage without strings or camera tricks. That took seven years to create.
The idea of flying in general does not appeal to me. I can barely understand why people want to fly at all, other than that it’s occasionally necessary.
I love to fly. I always wanted to fly. It’s been one of my dreams since I was 3 years old. I remember saying to my mom, 3 years old, every day, ‘I can fly!’ Living on the ninth floor, it was dangerous.
Instead of traveling on a weekend, begin your trip on a Tuesday or Wednesday, which are often the cheapest days to fly. Being flexible with timing can help with savings.

Greece isn’t a democracy now it’s run through a troika – three foreign officials that fly into Athens airport and tell the Greeks what they can and can’t do.
I have a private plane. But I fly commercial when I go to environmental conferences.
I believe more in precision, when you have the capability, like when you see a mosquito fly and you’re able to hit it, you’re able to hit it with a couple of short sharp shots… it’s a beautiful thing.
The thing is helicopters are different from airplanes An airplane by it’s nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or incompetent piloting, it will fly.
Growing up in Oklahoma the way I did, and being raised the way I was raised by my parents, gave me such a strong foundation to go out into the world and fly, so to speak, the way I was able to do.
I’ve been lucky enough to fly to space twice.
I remember seeing war hero Jimmy Doolittle fly a Gee Bee racer there. He was my childhood hero. Many years later, I was lucky enough to go hunting with him.
If I’m on the plane, I insist on being comfortable. I don’t believe in getting dressed up to fly. There’s no reason for that, especially when it’s 16 hours to fly internationally.
