If I’m going to fly for more than twenty feet it’s generally a good idea to get a stunt guy.
I’m acutely aware of the environment but I’m far from perfect – I love Land Rovers and fly too much.
The fly that doesn’t want to be swatted is most secure when it lights on the fly-swatter.
When I was a kid, I remember thinking, ‘When we reach the year 2000, everyone will have jetpacks, and it’ll be like ‘The Jetsons,’ and we’ll fly everywhere!’
As a child in the early 1980s, I tended to talk with things in my mouth – food, dentist’s tubes, balloons that would fly away, whatever – and if no one else was around, I’d talk anyway.
The airplane I usually fly has 450 horse power, and it’s all made out of carbon fibre – you can’t break it; your body will break before the airplane does.
If the opponents of an increase in the minimum wage were correct, then every time you fly to Seattle, you’ve got to bring a bagged lunch because there shouldn’t be any restaurants because they should have all have gone out of business as a result of raising the minimum wage.
In racing, you want to win – there are no rules, and you can do whatever you want. Flying a plane is the opposite: you respect rules and fly to the rules. You can’t possibly compare the two.
I think L.A.’s terrific. You fly an hour and a half and you’re in the mountains in three feet of powder. I also think it’s a much better city if you’re working as an actor. If you’re not working and you don’t see your dreams coming true, there can be a lot of heartache.
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
That’s a traditional Samoan dance. I was lucky that I was able to fly my cousins, who are professional dancers, up from Hawaii and they were able to be in the movie with me. We had a great time.
That’s what so great about making movies. It’s that you get to do stuff you never would be able to do in real life. You get to go to a recording studio, you get to go to Navy ships and fly all over the world for press. And it’s just a great job.
I heard of this Texas studio. The owner, Tony Rancich, wanted to fly us out for the day to see the studio. I booked it the next day. He’s that rare guy that is in it purely for the love of it.
I can’t go to the hardware store, cut a sheet in half and staple it to the window anymore. It doesn’t fly.
I don’t really have a routine. I make it up on the fly, or whatever feels right, I’ll do.
A lot of things came out of my interest in marine biology, like the fact that there are scallops that fly in the air, and in SpongeBob’s world, scallops swim the same way in the ocean.
You wrestle one night, get up the next morning and fly out to the next city. You try to work out, you try to get some food into you and, lo and behold, you have to go work again. You are living out of a suitcase.
Dad went to Canada to learn how to fly with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He took me on my first airplane ride, where I could have a hand on the stick.
I always like being a director in terms of giving acting notes and punching up on the fly.
I watched ‘Iron Man 3’ the other night, and my chin was on the floor. ‘Vikingdom’ is a different type of movie, because it’s rooted in reality. The characters are more real; they’re not these superhuman people who can fly and do things.
The most adventurous thing I’ve done is learn how to fly a helicopter in the Philippines. One night we landed on a beach and slept on it.
You fly for hours and hours and hours over Africa to go from one place to another.
I didn’t have to leave my neighborhood to be surrounded by the things that ‘Super Fly’ is about. It was easier than most scripts because it was about an environment that I knew.
‘Longmire’ is an incredibly hard shooting schedule because the locations are usually an hour away every morning, and I come home every weekend. I fly back to L.A. for about 26 hours a weekend, just to touch base back at home. It’s a lot of work. It’s four really intense months.
What can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains, and studying night and day how to fly?
It truly is a privilege to work and to live here, and to be able to do both makes this just a really unique experience. And so as the only rookie in the group, it was really an honor to become a part of an expedition and see what it’s like to fly the International Space Station.
Humans are the only creatures with the ability to dive deep in the sea, fly high in the sky, send instant messages around the globe, reflect on the past, assess the present and imagine the future.
It’s the little details I love. How to fletch your arrows with owl feathers, because owls fly silently, so maybe your arrows will, too. How to carry fire in a piece of smouldering fungus wrapped in birchbark. These are the things which help a world come alive.
I would like to fly in space. Absolutely. That would be cool. I used to just do personally risky things, but now I’ve got kids and responsibilities, so I can’t be my own test pilot. That wouldn’t be a good idea. But I definitely want to fly as soon as it’s a sensible thing to do.
To fly into Moscow was a joy. I was trying to understand what people were thinking and how to earn money. In the end, I stayed.
Wear comfortable clothes when you fly; my preference is T-shirt and jeans.
‘Scalped’ No. 1 was only the third comic script I’d ever written. I really learned a lot about writing on the fly with that series.
And, of course, customers really need to feel safe and are seeking reassurance when they fly.
Prizes are like butterflies, colorful butterflies that fly away. I don’t believe in prizes much.
I’m a big believer in letting your freak flag fly.
Walter Cronkite was a personally decent and convivial man, who literally couldn’t kill a fly, was kind to his children, generally helpful to juniors, authentically curious about the news, and, in his time, an energetic reporter.
I was lucky enough to fly in Concorde, and you get up to 65,000 feet, and I could see the curvature of the Earth.
I never shot on sets, but if I was traveling somewhere or on location, I would always have my camera, and I’d always be – it’s that kind of fly on the wall approach to photography, though. I don’t engage the subject. I like to sneak around, skulk about in the dark.
In reference to Cat Stevens, it is very, very important we have accurate information on our terrorist watch list and our no fly list and that you have a remedy.
Today, if you want to access a typical out-of-print book, you have only one choice – fly to one of a handful of leading libraries in the country and hope to find it in the stacks.
As a boy, my favorite show was ‘Superman’ and my favorite movie was ‘Star Wars’ – along with other science fiction shows and movies. And I always wanted to fly.
Next year, I hope there will be even more parties, lots of holidays and just having a good time, really. Plus wing-walking, air shows and learning to fly, as they are all things I want to do. I won’t be restricted by age.
I work on my novels wherever I have a PC, and I have four or five places around the world where I do have a PC. These days you can just slip a little flash drive into your top pocket, fly for 12 hours, come to another place, plug it into a computer and you are away again.
When it comes to business, diets, working out, writing, or any other dream, success isn’t about how high you fly. Success is about how high you bounce.
I memorized every line in Michael Jordan’s ‘Come Fly with Me.’
When I fly to European destinations, I always fly economy; I don’t fly business class – there is no advantage apart from a few more inches of room.
I think our job as parents is to give our kids roots to grow and wings to fly.
In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground.
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!’
I’d really love to watch David Lynch work, to be a fly on the wall.
I’m not afraid of flying; I just fear I’m going to die. I think I’m – vulnerable. I admit it. I don’t fly. I got claustrophobia. I don’t go in high buildings. I don’t do those things. I’m just myself, whatever that is.
My parents were the only people to go to South Africa from Australia in a single engine plane… the two of them, no radio… you had to fly down low to see the street signs to know which city you were in… most people couldn’t speak English.
No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.
When I fly in a helicopter, I insist there be two sets of controls, one for me in case something happens to the pilot. I’m no expert, but I know enough to at least get the thing on the ground. Nothing scares me like the thought of not being in control.
I deliberately fly in and out of LA for as small a time as humanly possible.
All of us who are flying on international space stations speak some Russian and speak some English. Both the languages are needed to fly in a Russian spacecraft and communicate with your colleagues.
