My goal was becoming the next David Copperfield. I learned how to be a performer by emulating him as a kid – his formula of just talking to people onstage, being free to improvise, being charming and witty with a crowd, together with great, beautiful magic.
There have been a lot of people involved in the growth of EDM’s support in the U.S., from DJ/producers like David Guetta, Deadmau5 and Skrillex, to major festival organisers and pop artists of EDM integrating elements of dance music into their music.
With ‘Versace,’ after I had gotten the , it was two weeks of preparation before I started filming, and I had read Maureen Orth’s book; I had been able to get a hold of photos and really start to inhabit the mind of David Madson.
As suburbs go, Bromley’s not bad. But as David Bowie and Hanif Kureishi have observed, you do want to get out of there quickly.
My parents named me after Uriah the Hittite, one of King David’s mighty men in the Old Testament of the Bible, who was known for his fearlessness. I’ve thought about it, and there may be a connection between my name and my personality.
Let’s face it, I’m not winning a fight with anybody – unless it’s against someone like Larry David.
I think people are ‘just creative,’ and this can be expressed in a number of ways. Bob Dylan and David Bowie create both music and art.
People who I’ve worked with are always like, ‘Why aren’t you doing comedy? You’re funny!’ because they’ve only seen the one side. I did do the comedy ‘Whatever Works,’ with Woody Allen and Larry David.
David Cameron has already said, and I have said, that a Conservative government would be giving the security agencies and law enforcement agencies the powers that they need to ensure that they are keeping up to date as people communicate with data.
I guess the best advice I ever got or anyone could get for doing a talk show, though it has not been easy very often, was from Jack Paar, who said, ‘Kid, don’t make it an interview. Interviews have clipboards, and you’re like David Frost. Make it a conversation.’
I laugh all the time about our investigation, especially about making a fool of David Duke, who likes to think I don’t have the intelligence of an ape because he thinks I’m genetically inferior.
While reading ‘David Copperfield’ in the middle of the night – probably because of the light, I had insomnia for the first time – I looked out of the window and thought, ‘If this is what books can do, this is what I want to do.’
There are good life skills to be had in the sport. It is a big positive to see young kids coming to the gym, training hard, looking up to the likes of David Tua, Shane Cameron, and possibly myself.
David Lynch is a very kind and warm-hearted man. I really think he’s brilliant.
I like David Beckham just because of his lifestyle. He don’t ever need to score another goal again. How many times has he been on the cover of GQ?
For me, David Silva is a fantastic player because his technique is incredible, and he understands when the right time to pass the ball is.
I like to address all parts of my game, but I’m really concentrating a lot of time with my coach, David Whelan, on my short game and on the greens.
‘m thrilled to be joining the incredible team at ABC News. Being asked to anchor ‘This Week’ and the superb tradition started by David Brinkley, is a tremendous and rare honor, and I look forward to discussing the great domestic and international issues of the day.
Before I met David Bowie, I was very nervous. I thought, ‘Here comes the Thin White Duke, Ziggy Stardust. How will I ever communicate with him?’
Trinidad is a great fighter; he’s exciting, and he goes in tough. His roster of opponents includes Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya, David Reid, Fernando Vargas, and Hopkins. It’s hard to imagine Felix being in a boring fight.
David Bowie worked with Brian Eno and dressed up in extraordinary clothes, but he was also a brilliant songwriter who captured the thoughts of a generation. He was hugely successful, without compromise.
In Davos during the WEF, we have government heads like David Cameron, Shinzo Abe, Tony Abbott, and Dilma Rousseff. These are the people who can actually get something done.
Like everyone, I was a huge fan of David Boies, and from what I knew about him, I thought he might ‘get’ me. So I sent him an email. I said I want to practice law but that I didn’t want to stop writing and I asked if there was any way I could practice law for him.
I had some very good players and some wonderful young players hitting the scene. Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Michael Owen – we had something tangible to work with and move forward.
When I was growing up in the early ’70s and really getting into music, waiting outside the record store for that 45, waiting for a single from The Dead, The Clash, David Bowie, or T-Rex or something to be there. There was something about that that was so special.
‘Kiss Land’ wasn’t about what people wanted to hear on the radio. It was the state of mind I was in – introverted, like David Cronenberg’s ‘Naked Lunch.’ You didn’t know if you were hearing a chorus or a verse. It was just my thoughts.
I met David Bowie when I was 14, and he became a hero to me – because he was an artist, and because he was a genius who had the time to be kind. I’d never met such an extraordinary artist before, and I haven’t since – the world will be a greyer place without him.
In my creative life, David Bowie is definitely an enormous influence on me, being one of rock’s greatest shapeshifters.
It’s a strange world, as David Lynch would say.
When I was younger, I was fascinated by David Bowie, for example. he had created an entire myth around himself. It was as important as his music.
Lady Diana Spencer looked to relatively unknown designers – David and Elizabeth Emanuel, recently graduated from the Royal College of Art – when she wed Prince Charles in 1981.
I’m very lucky with the people that recognise me – it’s at a very tolerable level. I don’t think I could handle the level of recognition which David Beckham has.
I enjoy getting to work on ‘Saturday Night Live’, where I get to do people like David Paterson. And then, its like a different muscle to do someone like a bicycle guy on’ Portlandia’.
I’m all for trying anything once; otherwise, you end up like David Guetta – reproducing the same formula over and over.
I’m honored to be asked by Stephanie Allain – whom I’ve long admired – to add to the scope of my programming purview at Film Independent. I salute David Ansen for his work with the festival and look forward to continuing to follow his example.
I once interviewed David Herbert Donald, the Lincoln historian, and we talked about how one deals with the secondary sources and the previous biographies. He said something which kept coming back to me as I worked on Cleopatra, which was: ‘There’s no further new material; there are only new questions.’
Enough of these little kitty cats we keep sending to Washington. David Dewhurst will compromise every day in the U.S. Senate… It’s what he’s done every day in state government.
Yeah. I have been with David Furnish for eight years, now.
David has asked me, a number of people have asked me and said, What performance do you like best or what’s the best film you’ve made and so on and I don’t really have any hesitation that the film I’m least embarrassed by and ashamed of or uneasy about is Shadowlands.
David and I enjoy a relaxed meal around 8. We like to eat on the couch while we watch TV. Sometimes we channel-flip, but we also watch shows like ‘House of Cards,’ ‘The Crown,’ or ‘Game of Thrones.’
David Blaine, I think, was the first TV magician to really turn the camera around and make it about the spectator’s experience. That’s really what magic is all about.
It’s gone on my whole life, this David and Goliath syndrome that a lot of these smaller guys always have. They think the only reason I’ve ever had any success in my career is because of my physical size. And you know what? If that’s the case, so be it. I really don’t care. Because I have that size.
I’ll tell you this: you can look at all the masculine toughies you want – the Ben Roethlisbergers, the Russell Crowes, the David Petraeuses – but if you want to look at what a man should be – persevering, honest, a person who manifests his intellect into action – you need look no further than Roger Ebert.
For me, the key is years of the blessed filmmakers I’ve worked with giving me permission to be bold and jump off cliffs and to be boundaryless. I would put David Lynch at the top of that list.
David Foster Wallace, in my opinion, is one of the greatest writers we’ve ever had, certainly in the last twenty years. His obvious dominance of the English language is partnered with honest moments and the most beautifully dark sensibility.
I’m doing this play right now, the new David Mamet play. It’s called ‘Race,’ and it’s very interesting how people really leave the theater filled with the desire to talk about the play and the issues and the characters, and how they’re all navigating their personal views around race.
I’d love to be a hit in Germany. I’m working on trying to get a gig as David Hasselhoff’s opening act.
David is purely a conceptual artist. He didn’t play any instruments or paint or anything. We were painters.
I remember being a young boy in Poland, watching David Seaman, Thierry Henry, Dennis Berkamp and others play for Arsenal. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get a chance to play for the club I supported as a little kid.
