I do wonder whether the bigger the game is, the more the risks that David Luiz decides to take.
For thirty-five years, David Halberstam, an unsilent member of the Silent Generation, has contemplated America and its place in the world, casting his eye on big subjects – Vietnam, global economics, race, mass media, and the 1950s.
The most nerve-wracking experience is an oral presentation in class. And right under that would be doing ‘Saturday Night Live’ or ‘David Letterman.’ One of those shows.
The question I always ask is: ‘Where are all the women directors in America?’ You know, where’s the female Martin Scorsese, the female David Lynch?
David Sedaris is so good that it makes me mad.
Writers such as Richard Powers and the late David Foster Wallace have shown the path to a newer generation of writers for whom all national boundaries are quaint curiosities.
I buried my dad the day I started Craig David’s tour. Buried him, got on this tour bus in Stratford, and hit the road. Mixed emotions.
I love David Lynch’s style. Someone once thought I was his son, so I must have been doing an alright job at emulating it.
This stupid celebrity thing is just a consequence of being good at what you do. I mean, no one would photograph David Beckham if he wasn’t the best attacking midfielder in the country – much as I hate Man. U!
In all, I was in 16 movies, including ‘The Bishop’s Wife’ with Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven; I was in ‘Rio Grande’ with John Wayne, ‘Albuquerque’ with Randall Scott, ‘Blue Skies’ with Bing Crosby and ‘Hans Christian Anderson’ with Danny Kaye.
People said that ‘Fight Club’ would be impossible to turn into a movie, but I think David Fincher loved that challenge.
The test of leadership for David Cameron was actually to bring the British Conservative Party back in to the mainstream.
On ‘Love Actually,’ I met Hugh Grant, who is a relative: our great-grandmothers were sisters. He’d call me cousin and ruffle my hair. And it was brilliant working with David Tennant on ‘Doctor Who.’
I have two sons, and at 16, they were into Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, and a lot of British rock.
As an actor, whether I’m playing Othello on stage or David Estes on ‘Homeland,’ that ability to give into your imagination is something that I enjoy.
The genre of narrative business books that I love so much – the ones that have a you-are-there quality – was invented, or so it is said, in 1982 by David McClintick, who wrote ‘Indecent Exposure,’ a rollicking good read about a Hollywood scandal and the ultimate boardroom power struggle at Columbia Pictures.
David Bowie, who spent most of the ’70s establishing himself as a master of psychological disguises, is spending the ’80s trying to convince us that he’s just a regular fella – or at least as close to one as a millionaire pop star can be.
I loved David Lean, he had a huge influence on me when I was going to film school.
There were two auditions for ‘The Social Network,’ one with Aaron Sorkin and one with David Fincher. I was a nervous wreck. I was like, ‘Okay, how do I hold the paper without my hands making it shake?’
Sometimes I go, ‘Wow, this is a director I really, really want to work with,’ like David Cronenberg. I haunted David Cronenberg for years before, and then he offered me a role.
I was a huge David Letterman fan, even going back to when he was on NBC. My parents would only let me watch a half hour of television a day, so I would record Letterman the night before and then watch it when I came home from school. That’s what made me want to do a T.V. show.
I love what many of my contemporaries are doing, especially people like Terry Gilliam, David Cronenberg, P. T. Anderson, and Alfonso Cuaron.
That would make a great Instagram photo – me and David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson.
Ultimately, I’m a mess. I don’t mean I’m a mess, like, emotionally – I mean, I think probably everybody’s a mess. David’s a mess. But. I’m talking about… I’m messy.
I’m part Bridget Jones, part Larry David. I’m shy; I’m prude.
David Gulden captures animals in all their wonder and intrigue, without glorifying or romanticizing them. He knows Kenya’s wildlife intimately, and it shows in the depth of his images. He has an artist’s eye, which delivers beauty and transport in every picture.
There are some women I definitely would not want to succeed me… but a man like David Souter, that would be great.
I felt that if the public found out that a black man made a fool of David Duke, his attempts at a political career would have fallen by wayside.
It’s so amazing that you can give somebody like David Fincher ‘House of Cards,’ and he can do whatever he wants – Netflix doesn’t say, ‘Oh, you can’t do that,’ or, ‘We need a subplot here about this.’ It’s pretty neat that it is allowing the creatives to be creative.
I feel like David Byrne is a great example of someone who is always in the ‘now’ moment of music and finding reasons to be excited and always seeing what’s special about it.
I’m so excited to be part of the environment that David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Marcy Ross have built at Skydance.
When I came to Hollywood, I would take the opportunity to get to know George Stevens or Willy Wyler or Billy Wilder or Freddie Zinnemann. David Lean I got to know, of course, in London. And David Selznick and Darryl Zanuck, not to mention Jack Warner, and Sam Goldwyn was actually very, very nice to me.
Larry David makes me laugh.
There have been times when I’ve reflected on my international career and just thought: ‘Well that was a massive waste of time.’ Sorry for sounding sour, but my best mate, David Beckham, got butchered after the World Cup in 1998, then my brother, Phil, after Euro 2000.
I had the wonderful good luck of having Jimmy Gandolfini as my mentor and David Chase as my godfather, two of the most talented guys in the history of television.
Maggie is my sister-in-law, married to my brother David. She is a defense attorney who devotes 25 percent of her practice to pro bono wrongful-incarceration cases.
I wanted to work with Mike Leigh. I had my list of British people I wanted to work with, and I wanted to work with David Lynch and Woody Allen.
English food writer Elizabeth David, cook and author Richard Olney and the owner of Domaine Tempier Lulu Peyraud have all really inspired the way I think about food.
There are so many forms of soul: David Bowie was soulful as hell; Johnny Cash was soulful as hell; you also have a Prince, a Stevie Wonder. I want to bring my perception of that and not live inside the box of, ‘This is the type of tracks you get,’ ‘This is the type of drums you get.’
Girls slightly younger tended to be Donny Osmond girls or Michael Jackson girls, but for my generation, it tended to be David Cassidy.
The thing is David is also aware of everything and it’s not like you’re going somewhere the director is not.
David Letterman was my guy growing up. My parents recorded the tenth anniversary special for me, and I watched it 40 times.
I love David Fincher and I think he’s a genius.
How I love David Bowie.
Hello? Three words: Benicio Del Toro, which, incidentally, is Spanish for ‘he wants me.’ It is just ridiculous how hot he is. I feel the same way about Benicio as I did when I was a kid lusting after David Cassidy.
Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and at Centcom, is probably the most decorated officer of his generation.
I love Steven Meisel and David Sims’ work, I think they’re both amazing photographers. I want to be at the same level as them one day.
If there is a better singer in England than Craig David, then I am Margaret Thatcher.
I have decided to make a personal message to David Haye. I want him to fight me, to be a man. I wish there will be enough excitement, pressure and courage for David Haye to fight me.
The director Sofia Coppola’s new comic melodrama, ‘Lost in Translation,’ thoroughly and touchingly connects the dots between three standards of yearning in movies: David Lean’s ‘Brief Encounter,’ Richard Linklater’s ‘Before Sunrise’ and Wong Kar-wai’s ‘In the Mood for Love.’
My mom and dad are second-generation Greek-Americans who instilled in our middle-class family the values of hard work, self-reliance, and service, exemplified by my father’s tenure as a U.S. Marine who was stationed at Camp David under President Truman.
For those of us who spent our careers competing with David Broder, the hardest thing to abide was the inevitable comparison. If someone said Jack Germond – or Jules Witcover or Walter Mears or whoever – ‘is a pretty good political reporter,’ the default response would be, ‘but he’s no David Broder.’
All I can do is keep doing the best I can, and every opportunity I get, I’ll try to put balls in like David Beckham.
David Boreanaz is actually a very good director and he directed one of our episodes. Excellent director, knew exactly what he wanted. We never had long days with David. He was great, he knew exactly what he wanted and he’s a fantastic director.
Albert Brooks. Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Larry David. The best comedic actors play broad and real simultaneously, coming across as both larger than life and all too human.
I believe in the Camp David accords.
‘Scary Movie’ was a different type of comedy than I’m used to. I’ve mostly done sitcoms, so working with David Zucker, who wrote the film and who directed the last two ‘Scary Movie’s and ‘Airplane’ and ‘Naked Gun,’ was a lot of help.
