John David captured the 25-year-old essence of me very well. I’m proud to call him a Stallworth brother.
There are two major masterpieces that really brought the language of dreams or nightmares to the screen. The initial one is Dali and Bunuel’s ‘Un Chien Andalou,’ and then later, David Lynch’s ‘Eraserhead.’
I also learned to play Fruit Ninja on an iPad. It is quite hypnotic, and I hope one day to get past 100 points. I remembered that David Cameron admits to being an addict. I wonder if it helps him in his work. ‘Great, just destroyed a pineapple! Reminds me, shall we send those grenades to the Syrian rebels?’
I think every basketball player I know loves ping pong. Everyone played in on the Dream Team. I played Clyde Drexler and Chris Mullin and even David Stern once. David Stern saw I was pretty good.
I was always interested in acting and writing, and I honestly thought I’d make my name as a scriptwriter one day. But somehow, I ended up in London in the early ’70s, and that’s where I had my David Bowie adventure.
‘Deep Red’ (1975) is my favorite movie. The character David Hemmings plays is very much based on my own personality. It was a very strong film, very brutal, and of course the censors were upset. It was cut by almost an hour in some countries.
Hopefully in 2011 the fans will get to see some fights that they want to see. Manny Pacquiao Vs. Floyd Mayweather needs to happen, and so does David Haye Vs. Wladimir Klitschko. The fans deserve to see fights that they want to see and not just the fights that the promoters want to see.
I went to jail 44 times. I’ve been beaten and left for dead on the side of the road fighting for freedom… Yet Rosa Parks is better known in history than Ralph David Abernathy. Why is that?
One of my biggest influences of all time would be somebody like Tom Waits. David Bowie is another huge influence. I’m also a big fan of St. Vincent and Leslie Feist.
I heard David Sedaris read live recently which was a complete delight. Few writers make me laugh out loud on the bus. He does.
I’m so in love with David Dimbleby.
I’d really love to watch David Lynch work, to be a fly on the wall.
It always struck me as pretty cool that people who changed the world often knew each other. After reading them separately, hearing that David Hume and Adam Smith were friends made sense.
‘Bleak House’ remains a great novel for me, and I love ‘David Copperfield.’
You never let somebody come from outside the business, have their way with the business, and then leave the next day and laugh at you. How the hell does David Arquette become World Champion?
There’s nobody telling Oprah what to do. There’s no one telling David Letterman what he can and can’t do. You’ve got to have 100 percent support from everybody who’s behind the show, across the board.
Sometimes you have producers tell you ‘I’m a huge fan, I’m a huge fan.’ But David Guggenheim, I have so much love for this dude.
You can say anything to David Icke and he will accept it and put it into his ideology.
David Levi is a teacher as well as a chef, and, like most teachers, he loves to talk.
I read a book on candles and got curious. I followed it up by taking a course with famous London-based candle maker David Constable. And now these have become the passion of my life.
I was always around wrestling. I went to shows, but I never pictured myself where I am today. My brothers, David and Reid, were more into wrestling. When they wrestled, it was hard on my brothers because they were always compared to my dad.
Once you understand that Goliath is much weaker than you think he is, and David has superior technology, then you say: why do we tell the story the way we do? It becomes, actually, a far more meaningful and important story in its retelling than in the kind of unsophisticated way we’ve done it for, I think, too long.
When I was young, my brother David and I were farmed off to foster homes, and I spent time in orphanages. My father abandoned us. Here’s the most important person in my life, and I never met him.
I’ve worked with David Lynch since I was 17, and working with him is home and family; being around Alexander Payne is home and family, Jonathan Demme. There are directors… Robert Altman, Paul Thomas Anderson… They are directors where I create homes.
With so many forty- and fifty something mums and dads in Converse stalking the streets, I can see why there’s a slew of books about the menopause and middle age, the most recent addition being David Bainbridge’s plucky, glass-half-full meditation or, as he calls it, ‘natural history.’
Everything that I am and everything that I have, I owe to Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, Liam Brady, David Court, Bob Arber, Steve Bould, Neil Banfield, Mike Salmon, Tony Roberts, Gerry Peyton, Pat Rice, and many others. Words can’t describe my gratitude to these people and love for this club.
I think Hong Kong people’s struggle for democracy is similar to David versus Goliath. But this struggle is not just about me.
Donald Trump did denounce David Duke’s support.
I love David Fincher – even though it was just two scenes, I loved the way we worked and could tell by the way he was shooting it that this was going to be an affective movie to say the least.
Frost was no match for Nixon – far from being an intrepid and challenging interviewer, he was a pushover for the great and the famous, always deeply impressed with the fact that here he was, David Frost, putting questions to – Richard Nixon!
Of course, neither David or myself ever saw a penny from them; it was the early days of merchandising.
There is no right or wrong way of giving. People in Los Angeles have made major contributions in different ways to the city: Eli Broad to art. David Geffen to hospitals. I’m not judgmental.
The choices politicians make must be based on values – not an arbitrary, axe-wielding approach to public spending or a dismal exchange between Gordon Brown and David Cameron about percentages that sounds like an argument between different book-keepers.
I’m not David Beckham. I don’t compare myself to such a legend.
No one’s ever going to make a PG-13 animated film unless David Fincher executive produces it and puts it out on Netflix, and then if it’s a success everyone will change.
Some of the writers I admire who seem very, very funny and very emotional to me can develop a closeness with the reader without giving too much of themselves away. Lorrie Moore comes to mind, as does David Sedaris. When they write, the reader thinks that they’re being trusted as a friend.
When I first met David Lynch, he was living in the stables of the American Film Institute… He’d work all night and have his crew lock him in during the day, and he’d sleep.
Some people have asked me do you think I got David Haye at the right time, but nobody said it was the right time when he weighed in with a six-pack, looking fantastic.
David Luiz has to work with the others if he deserves to play; otherwise, he will stay on the bench or in the stands.
David Mamet we all know is a great screenplay writer and playwright and a great director. If you like him, you like him. If you hate him, you really hate him. He’s someone who’s into controversy, you know what I mean? That’s David Mamet.
Why is being a female having an agenda any more than being a misogynist – which David Mamet most certainly is?
I guess my style is a cross between David Bowie and Clint Eastwood.
I could be completely mad and sound like David Icke, but I just find people with blue eyes colder, less passionate, and more calculated people.
David Milch, twice I got lectures from him about the theory of writing. I told my wife one night when I got home, ‘I feel like I’m being paid to sit at the feet of Aristotle.’
David Letterman used to say, ‘I wasn’t the class clown, but I wrote for him,’ and that’s exactly it. You want to be known to be funny without having it pointed out.
David Lynch and I almost made a movie together in the late ’80s. We had lots of dinners and lunches. He’s a very cool, hip guy. This film, let’s face it, is like an homage to him, I would imagine he’d find it funny.
In the 40 or so years I’ve known David Puttnam, not only has he pursued an outstanding career in films and now politics, but he has been the keeper of the flame of the British film industry.
I love David Hasselhoff!
I say yes to everything if I like the overall thing that’s being put out there. I’ll do anything with David Wain.
David Hasselhoff is awesome.
The opening solo on ‘Once in Royal David’s City’ is still the most dramatic radio moment of the year.
I am supporting David Cameron purely out of cynical self-interest.
My favorite author is David Baldacci; I’ve read all his books. I even have a picture with Baldacci taken during his book-signing in the States.
I think someone like Khandi Alexander, who’s now on ‘Treme,’ is one of the most extraordinary actresses I’ve seen in years. But she’s dependent on someone brilliant like David Simon to realize that and to give her a forum. Tyler Perry’s not interested in that kind of nuance because it doesn’t sell.
I record the following shows on a daily basis and watch them when I have the time/inclination: ‘The Daily Show,’ Rachel Maddow, ‘Hardball,’ ‘The Colbert Report,’ ‘The O’Reilly Factor,’ David Letterman.
