I feel like I’ve dreamed half of my life that hasn’t happened yet, so a lot of times I’m going along, and I do stuff, and I know that I’ve done it. I have deja vus more than I have regular experiences. If half of your day is a deja vu, then you start to wonder, ‘What is real and what isn’t?’
But I think our humour is exactly the same today. Only, we’ve made rules now. We’ve said we are not going to do prosthetic make-up scenes, because when they take it off half your face comes off.

Hermione uses all these big long tongue twister words. I don’t know what she’s going on about half the time!
Humans are amphibians – half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time.

To preach more than half an hour, a man should be an angel himself or have angels for hearers.
My father, Dennis Popham, was a very handsome, talented artist, and as my mother always reminds me, ‘someone who had wonderful style.’ He was half Samoan-German, half New Zealander, and their first date was to a Fleetwood Mac concert, which I love the thought of.

When a man retires, his wife gets twice the husband but only half the income.
No, there’s nothing half so sweet in life as love’s young dream.
I sat staring, staring, staring – half lost, learning a new language or rather the same language in a different dialect. So still were the big woods where I sat, sound might not yet have been born.

Lunch kills half of Paris, supper the other half.
I’m a computer guy, and one of the things I did with the good fortune that ‘Presumed Innocent’ brought me was to buy one of the very first laptop computers. It weighed about eight and a half pounds, by the way.
The glass is always half full: I have no time for anything negative – and actually, I’ve bought crystals for all my team, so they all carry crystals as well.

I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life – that is to say, over 35 – there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.
A smart man only believes half of what he hears, a wise man knows which half.

I don’t have half the nerves there that I have anywhere else.
You spend so much time in your head in life. And what yoga does is, it asks you to allow your head to be quiet, to allow it to be still, just for an hour and a half. Just deal with your body and your breath. And it’s a great workout. I love it.
For someone who loves literature, and all books on principle, being asked to name three titles over a half century of serious reading is akin to asking one to recall their three favorite sunsets.
There’s a lot of work to do – not only the science but maintaining the facilities up here. When you go down from a crew of six to a crew of three, obviously you’ve lost half of your crew time available, so it does have an impact. But it’s an impact we plan for.
To say nothing, especially when speaking, is half the art of diplomacy.
The sparrow that is twittering on the edge of my balcony is calling up to me this moment a world of memories that reach over half my lifetime, and a world of hope that stretches farther than any flight of sparrows.

I do have a personal life. I spend half of the week at home. One of those nights, I’ll go out with some friends and have a good time. I have a day and a half at home, and love to just sit on my backyard by my pool, read a book, or do some writing. That’s my vacation.
My dad told me, ‘It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success’, and it took me seventeen and a half years.

Recycling, cutting back on driving, and changing out old light bulbs for energy-efficient ones might save half a ton of carbon a year. A household going car-free, flight-free, and vegan – changes impractical, if not outright impossible, for many families to make – might reduce emissions by four tons a year.
I never wore a single fedora filming ‘L.A. Noire.’ It took about an hour and a half to do the hair – it was a very precise process.

Yet food is something that is taken for granted by most world leaders despite the fact that more than half of the population of the world is hungry.
