I have admired David Bromley’s work for years. He possesses such a wild and vivid imagination and really sees the beauty in everything.
My favorite player, growing up, was David Robinson. He was really the first person that I actually knew about and actually watched.
As a schoolboy, I loved Charles Dickens. His ‘David Copperfield’ has had the strongest influence on me – I looked up to David Copperfield as a role model.
My friends once told me I remind them of the main character from the American comedy series ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm.’ I thought they must mean a sunny, affable girl-next-door, but instead I was confronted with Larry David! Crabby, moody, perversely neurotic Larry David. And the thing is, my friends were right.
OK, I dated Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block, I dated a ‘Baywatch’ boy named David Charvet, and I dated Billy Idol.
As the director, to have the opportunity to work with actors of the calibre of David Oyelewo is just fantastic and special.
David knew everyone because he’s such a social butterfly.
My expectations for myself were never high. I had a very unusual way of writing songs and of thinking about music. I wasn’t at all like Bob Dylan or Simon and Garfunkel. I was completely different – I didn’t have a David Geffen at my side.
You wont hear anything from me that says I didn’t kill David. I did kill him.
‘Monday Mornings’ is terrific. It’s my wife’s show. I’m just lucky enough that David Kelley threw me a bone on it as well. It’s a wonderful piece based on a novel by Dr. Sanjay Gupta called ‘Monday Mornings.’
I’m ashamed and embarrassed to say that I’ve read very little of David Foster Wallace’s work. It’s a huge gap in my education, one of many.
Is anyone serious about the politics of happiness? David Cameron dipped a toe in the water, using the word lightly, but denying the hard policies it implies. Labour shies away from it, but should take up the challenge.
I love biographies. I read Patti Smith’s ‘Just Kids.’ I’m into that time frame in New York, the ’70s and ’80s. In art school, I read ‘Close to the Knives,’ the autobiography of the artist and AIDS activist David Wojnarowicz.
If you like Texas and you like our economy, I helped create all that and all those jobs and you will love it when David Dewhurst goes to Washington.
David Milch is one of the smartest human beings I’ve ever met. I’m relatively bright and relatively well-read. I’m not in a league with that guy.
No matter what you think of David Koresh or the people that died there, they died for what they believed in. And that’s more than I can say for a lot of people.
I was looking at people like Jim Morrison and David Bowie and Mick Jagger and I thought, Ah! I want to look like them.
I take a lot of pride in beating guys like Kyle Dake or David Taylor or these guys who have been basically bred to do this from Day 1. The best camps, the best high schools, the best universities. I never had that. It’s not necessary, but I never had any of the frills a lot of those guys had.
Larry David finds a way to make jokes about the Holocaust. It would never have occurred to me. And it was funny.
David Fincher’s work has all been incredibly well-received on Netflix, and Kevin Spacey’s films have all worked on Netflix.
My brother David was a great athlete and I knew there was no way I could live up to that.
David O. Russell is probably my favorite filmmaker. He’s not only a great director, but he’s also a great writer.
I met David Croft. He was a man of few words. But he had great charisma.
The United States is considered a puritanical society by many Western nations. For example, they can’t believe we hassle public servants like General David Petraeus because he had a mistress. In France, if a powerful man doesn’t have a mistress, he’s considered a wimp.
So, I completely and utterly support David and Gillian’s decision to go to Los Angeles, but I think that Vancouver is the perfect location for the show.
‘Zeal’ is essentially a compromising devotion to God, a commitment to cleansing the Holy Land of all foreign and pagan presences and to re-establish the kingdom of David as God had intended.
I would be so mad if I saw something called a memoir, and then it was Mike Birbiglia. It would be so infuriating. It’s like, ‘Who is this guy, and why does he have a memoir?’ David Letterman could write a memoir. Joan Rivers could. I’m just a nobody. I’m a comedian and a writer.
When I was younger, I was emulating David Letterman. David Letterman would yell out of his office window with a megaphone, and the next thing I’m doing is standing on the roof of a parking garage with a megaphone.
The sci-fi movies I grew up with, the metaphor was very rich, and they used to really mean something: David Cronenberg’s films, or John Carpenter’s films, or the Phil Kaufman and Don Segel versions of ‘Invasion Of The Body Snatchers,’ or George Romero’s early zombie films.
I didn’t plan to be a politician. The founder of our country, David Ben-Gurion, called me from the kibbutz to serve in the underground. We were short of manpower, short of arms. I was 24 years old. I was supposed to serve my country for one or two years. I am 89 years old this year, and I keep going.
If Snowden really claims that his actions amounted to genuine civil disobedience, he should go to some English language bookstore in Moscow and get a copy of Henry David Thoreau’s ‘Civil Disobedience’.
I think David Hewlett is a comedic genius. I think he’s great.
David Cameron can change the branding of the party, but he can’t change the beliefs.
Some actors are brilliant in David Mamet, but they would crash and burn in my plays and visa-versa. You either have my music in your body, or you don’t.
David Beckham is a top man. I love the guy and what he can show in terms of style as well. He’s really classy, an icon.
David Cameron has a lot of credibility and influence.
I can say that I’ve become a David Fincher disciple. I have been completely turned.
To me, David Astor was a freedom fighter. To me, he wasn’t just a journalist; he was a freedom fighter.
There are a couple of scenes in David Lynch’s ‘Dune’ that I loved – again, small things but inspired and elegantly done.
I know so many players who say they wouldn’t entertain coaching, until they retire that is, and then they want to take their coaching badges. I suspect this might happen with David Beckham.
I’ve been a big believer in musicians turned actor, going back to Sinatra winning the Oscar for ‘From Here To Eternity.’ David Bowie in ‘Man Who Fell to Earth,’ Kris Kristofferson’s been great in a bunch of films. Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand, Mariah Carey, I thought was great in ‘Precious.’
It would be unthinkable to have a top-ten list of multiple narrative novels that doesn’t include David Mitchell. ‘Cloud Atlas’ is the most obvious choice, but I have opted for Mitchell’s slightly lesser known debut, ‘Ghostwritten.’
‘The Deuce’ came about when David Simon and I were put in contact with a guy who, along with his twin brother, owned a couple bars in Times Square.
I did an imitation of him to make the crew laugh. To my shock, there was Cary Grant behind me. He got very angry. I was sent all the way from RKO to David Selznick’s office and was told not to do it anymore. I thought to myself, ‘I must have been pretty good to make him that angry.’
I will be working with David Lynch when I’m 80.
I see a David West score 47, and yeah, it’d be cool to put up numbers like that. But I don’t need that to make me happy.
David Haye was a better fighter than me, but it’s not about the better fighter because the better fighter does not always win.
I sat in the barber’s chair in David Miller’s makeup shop, hours and hours of trial and error. While David poked at me with his crusty brushes, I grew more and more profane. That’s how I started to find the voice of Freddy.
He kind of makes me ill, David Cameron. I liked the old-fashioned Tory – like Winston Churchill, who had style. But Cameron’s like a new breed – computer-generated. I hate it.
We gather for prayer, and reading the Bible, and singing the songs of David.
David Mamet was great to work with. He was everything that I thought he would be as a director. He’s incredibly articulate, an easy collaborator. Extraordinarily knowledgeable about film and writing.
I would probably do anything with David Mamet. He’s so great. I just love his writing.
Looking back, I can see that my life with David was molded by forces beyond my control and even my understanding. Still, I don’t regret trying.
When I first learned guitar – when I was 14 or 15 – I had an older cousin who showed me some stuff. And he was into all these tunings. He was showing me tunings that people like David Crosby or Neil Young used – like dropped D and open D tunings.
If what I’ve been told is true – and I believe it is, General David Petraeus, a commander with soldiers deployed in two theaters of war, has had multiple meetings with Dick Cheney, the former vice-president of the United States, to discuss Petraeus’s candidacy for the Republican nomination for the presidency.
I have a show called ‘First Gen’ that David Oyelowo is executive producing.
I thought it was a classic David and Goliath story, and I was fully onboard Team WikiLeaks. I was very pro the leaks, barring the redaction issue. But I see WikiLeaks as a publisher.
