I’ve watched so-called ‘New Order’ playing in Auckland, and Tom Chapman is miming along to my bass on tape… He’s got his fingers on the low, and you can hear my high bass in the background. So he’s miming.
I think the little girl in Smallville is terrific, but I only watched it once.
Ever since I was nine years old and I watched Neil and Buzz walk on the moon, I have felt passionately that this is an interesting human adventure. This is one of the things we’re doing that is really fundamentally important, as we leave our home planet, but also exciting.
When I was 17, I was at La Coupole brasserie, and Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir asked me to join them at their table. They were fascinated that I’d watched their programme on existentialism back home and wanted to understand nothingness and being.
I know it’s superficial, and you can’t measure art, which is supposed to be up to the individual, but I’ve watched the Oscars since I was a baby with my mother.
I think I realized my parents’ relationship was special when I had my first girlfriend, and she came from a broken marriage. I watched how much closeness there was between her and her mom, and also how much bickering.
I’ve watched those shows my whole life – being on one is like a dream. It’s hard to balance that dream with the fact that this is the Edie I’ve known my whole life.
I watched ‘My Girl’ as an adult pretty recently, and it’s a good movie.
Having watched ‘X Factor’ over the years, they just haven’t got it right. The male winners haven’t been believable. They look like puppets; they sound like puppets.
I was one of those people who watched and videotaped the Tonys every year and kept a highlight reel every year. I saw every Broadway show as a kid.
Have you watched Animal Planet? The lioness is out there hunting the zebras, the gazelles, all sorts of things, so you need to be the fierce lioness or dragon that you are. Have that inner fire. See what you want, get it, and ask nobody for permission.
The FA Cup final is such a fantastic final to play in. I played in the 1999 one at Wembley, and after having watched so many finals as a kid, to be able to make that long walk up from the dressing room to the pitch was fantastic.
I watched artists who blew up before me become parodies of themselves. I wasn’t listening to people when they told me that I had nothing to say, and I can’t listen to people now when they tell me I’m the bomb, even though I want to.
I watched my parents act as completely equal partners in their relationship, and as a son to a woman I respect immensely, I never thought of gender inequality as a child.
The funny thing is that I had never actually watched TV.
Until a friend or relative has applied a particular proverb to your own life, or until you’ve watched him apply the proverb to his own life, it has no power to sway you.
It was never part of how I imagined my music, and I watched in awe at how this ukulele troubadour image suddenly devoured the Jens Lekman I had planned so carefully.
I have always watched the rushes, and have learned more because I have done so, because you can have all manner of ideas in your head, but they have to end up on the screen.
Hallmark makes beautiful films that feel as if they should be watched in a theater. The Hall family knows the power of stories, and they give us unforgettable movies with heart and depth and the resonance of classics.
For a long time, I lived in West Hollywood and watched young gay men strolling through life having no idea what came before. They didn’t know about the riots at Stonewall, the vice squad, the raids.
When I went back and watched a couple of the older ‘Doctor Who’ episodes, I could see why some people felt the show had been quite sexist.
I am still in touch with my Secret Service agents, most of whom are retired now. They really get to be your friends. They watched me grow up, and most of them had little kids, so I was kind of giving them a warm-up of what was coming.
I’ve never watched any of the adaptations of my books. I’ve never wanted to, and there’s absolutely no chance of me doing so in the future.
I loved ‘Dumbo.’ I watched Bugs Bunny time and again. The Muppets were big, too. All of those, they have this real, not darkness but poignancy, that’s what makes it stick with you.
My grandparents got married at a very young age, and a lot of what I think about marriage is based on their relationship. I watched them over the years and saw how they dealt with everything together, as a team.
When I was a kid, I was kind of obsessed with that movie ‘Dick Tracy.’ Burger King had all this ‘Dick Tracy’ stuff, and I collected all of it, and I had the posters, and I watched it on a loop.
I’ve known I wanted to do this ever since I was four years old and watched ‘Star Search’ for the first time. I mean, Harrison Ford in ‘Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark?’ My hero.
I love Muddy Waters and Nina Simone. I also watched ‘The Blues Brothers’ movie over and over.
For better or for worse, I’ve watched people die in front of me. I see how they are in the end. And they’re not cynical. In the end, they wanna hold somebody’s hand. And that’s real to me.
I’ve watched films and even forgotten I’m in them.
We all grew up, our grandmothers and mothers had about three channels to watch, so we watched those soaps and now, a generation has grown up with the Internet and computers and video games.
Tennis and golf are best played, not watched.
I watched ‘Apollo 13,’ and it, like, absolutely freaked me out. I was terrified. I didn’t want to go to space because I thought it was imminent death.
I moved to L.A. and watched a lot of local television news, and I started to see the burn logos up on the upper right hand corner – On-Scene Video, RMG Media Group, and all these other ones. I just became intrigued with it.
Whenever I’m in Kansas City, I think back to all the jazz-blues greats who played the blues here – like Count Basie, Charlie Parker and Jay McShann. I watched those guys jam in different places and heard a lot of things – but I couldn’t do what they did. They were too good.
I never thought in my life, I never really thought I would get married. I watched my parents go through a divorce, and I thought, like, this is just not something people are supposed to do.
‘The Exorcist’ is absolutely my favorite horror film, and I watched it when I was, like, seven years old with my mother for the first time. I don’t know why my mom let me watch that. I couldn’t go to the bathroom by myself. I couldn’t go upstairs by myself. I couldn’t sleep.
The very first tournament I watched is the U.S. Open when I was 13. And that was the year Juli Inkster won.
I just watched ‘Lethal Weapon’ for the first time, and it’s awesome… and so violent! Mel is out of his mind in that movie. Although now we know he’s just insane – he was very much in his mind.
I’d never watch a horror film, but after I found out I was going to be in one, I watched, like, four of them, including The Shining, I was terrified – I couldn’t sleep for days. But I wanted to get myself used to things I was going to see on the set.
I watched all the games in the pub with my family. We used to go to a place called The Sirloin in Chingford. It was quite a good atmosphere in there.
I was influenced when I was younger by the cartoon movies that Disney put out, like Cinderella and what not. I watched those movies over and over when I was younger and the music is ingrained into my head. Nowadays, I’m still humming the tunes. It taught me the fundamentals.
I watched Ricki Lake’s documentary, ‘The Business of Being Born,’ and that led me to call a midwife, and not an ob-gyn, when I found out I had conceived. My delivery was not easy – they call it ‘labor,’ not ‘a vacation!’ – but I was incredibly grateful that I did it that way.
I miss Lisa ‘Left Eye’ every day. Watched her VH1 special many times. A tragedy. But I didn’t see the movie based on her.
I’ve often wondered about people that come to the profession late in life. I’ve wanted to be an actor since the first grade. I watched a play being performed by the third grade class, and it was… magic.
My grandmother, whom I adored, and who partly raised me, loved Liberace, and she watched Liberace every afternoon, and when she watched Liberace, she’d get dressed up and put on makeup because I think she thought if she could see Liberace, Liberace could see her.
We sat here during Irene in ’99 with the back door open. We drank and watched all the stuff fly by.
I waited and worked, and watched the inferior exalted for nearly thirty years; and when recognition came at last, it was too late to alter events, or to make a difference in living.
The more I read and watched about the meat industry, the more determined I became to keep meat out of my diet. The things I saw in slaughterhouse exposes made me feel sick and I refused to just ignore what I now knew.
There were so many specific things from high school jazz band that I remembered: the conductor searching out people who were out of tune, or stopping and starting me for hours in front of the band as they watched.
I did get to hang out with my dad for a little while. I went with him to summer stock. I watched him be a real king of the world. He’d ship out as a star in summer stock. He sometimes directed the shows. I learned a lot from him – not just about acting, but about everything, how to handle a woman.
