Truman Capote was a pop figure, but it wasn’t until he went on David Susskind’s show and had that extraordinary voice and manner that everyone could imitate, that he really took off as a figure.
That’s the one for my tombstone… Here lies David Byrne. Why the big suit?
I’ve always been a secret locked-room fanatic. I read my first one when I was about ten or 11, Agatha Christie’s ‘Murder on the Orient Express,’ with David Niven and Peter Ustinov on the cover.
David and Dad didn’t get along too well growing up. I mean we all got along, but it was harder on David, because David wasn’t going to be the son that Dad wanted. But now they’re like best friends.
I’ve thought about it a hundred times. I even buy bridal magazines sometimes. I want David Tutera to do my wedding.
For every Steven King, there are a dozen guys like me who make a good living. For every David Brin, there are a dozen authors who have managed to make it their day job. For each of them, there are a dozen more for whom writing is a terrific supplement.
I love David Lynch’s ‘Mulholland Drive;’ such a wonderful movie.
If I’ve only got a career if I bring David Brent back, you can have it.
I do not use the word ‘genius’ lightly, but if David Bowie is not a genius, then there is no such thing.
What I remain opposed to is the idea that David Cameron could go around and give up workers’ rights, give up environmental protection, give up a whole load of things that are very important.
David Silva at Man City was my favourite player to play with; we had a good understanding on the pitch.
I recently did the David Letterman Show about my book. He was very serious and made no jokes and it caught me off guard a little bit. He was much more serious than some of the joke shows that journalists get on.
The greatest king of Israel, King David, the author of the Psalms, sent a man out to die in battle so that he could sleep with his wife.
David and Ellen Siminoff are legends in Silicon Valley – they are two of the most influential mentors to top executives and leaders behind the scenes, with long track records of success.
I have a major weakness for Oreo cookies and David Yurman jewelry.
David James Elliott and I keep in touch via phone.
Any experience of a girl picking out her wedding dress is amazing, but I have to say it was really special to work with David’s dad, to see him in action with his team.
When David Goyer comes to the small screen, what he’s actually doing is making the small screen bigger.
We are still so close, David and I. We were at a party the other day at my mum’s house and I was sitting on his lap. We’re very affectionate. And I looked at him and thought after being married for 11 years! We were the only couple who were even near each other at that party. We’re soul mates.
Even though David Pottruck has gone to this unbelievable career where he is a billionaire, there is always a new hurdle. He never sits there saying, ‘I’m the best.’
I learned a lot from Bruce Springsteen and David Chase.
I did about 10-12 national commercials and then got one line parts in things like ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ and the show ‘The Unit.’ Got a little part in the movie ‘Redbelt’ by David Mamet and kept slowly grinding up and then started getting bigger parts in independents and getting noticed by Liz Meriwether.
My history of singing has always probably been closer to a David Bowie approach than, for example, an AC/DC approach.
I never had posters on my walls, and I didn’t have any icons, either. I come from a small village in Wirral, and my family didn’t watch TV. I wasn’t exposed to people with icon status. David Bowie popped up, but I had already shaved my eyebrows off by the time I saw his.
I’m a big fan of David Sedaris; I love all his books and have them all on audio and e-reader, in addition to hard copies.
I wrote a song called ‘Four Times A Lady’ for Destiny’s Child, and it was perfect. But then I had to spin it back and change all the lyrics to a guy’s point of view cos I thought the track was too good to give away, heh heh. It’s Craig David now.
There is this sense of David Cameron leading a Government that’s badly out of touch with ordinary people’s lives. I’d absolutely welcome the opportunity to show all political leaders what life is like for most people.
Working with David Bowie was very interesting, but I couldn’t surrender to it. I should have let him produce a record for me, but I’m very perverse in some ways. He’s brilliant, but the entourage were rather daunting.
The second I walk onto the set and I know that there’s a camera and I know that there’s a David Twohy behind that camera, there is zero pressure. There is just me jumping into a pool called ‘Riddick.’ It’s the most free I am. It’s like channeling something.
I would love to have played with David Silva.
He’s a very natural chap. The public David Essex is the same as the private one. He’s laid-back, charming, funny. There’s no side to him.
David Silva – he’s constantly played very well for 13 or 14 years now, and to do that is a hard task. I know what he went through last year with his son, too, but to maintain that even then is incredible. He’s a very good human being, and he’s an unbelievable player.
In the late ’70s, I had a band – the David Johansen band, for lack of a better name – and I started collecting, not records, but tapes from people I knew who had jump-blues records.
We’re fortunate in my family because we really have three families: my brother, David, and me; the two boys, Cooper and Marston, from my dad’s second marriage; and my dad’s wife, Crystal.
David Cameron was a good-looking chap in his day!
Walter Isaacson attracts the best and the brightest to Aspen. It is exhilarating to listen to the likes of David Rubenstein and constitutional scholar Jeffrey Rosen speak about George Washington and Newt Gingrich and the original intent of the Second Amendment.
General David Petraeus was so successful at getting on covers of magazines, having journalists fall in love with him, that in fact he was able to use that power to go around the normal chain of command.
My buddy David Wells is a big motorcycle guy, so when I go visit him in San Diego, he takes me out on his bike. He’s got some antique Indians. I never really rode during my career, because I was afraid I’d fall off and ruin my career.
I’m happy David Caruso is out there working.
Writing songs with Brian and performing them with Al Jardine, Dennis Wilson, Carl Wilson, David Marks, Bruce Johnston and many other brilliant musicians over the years is my legacy, and something of which I am very proud and protective.
David Simon is a brilliant writer, brilliant at being able to take what is ordinary and make it extraordinary.
I’ve always liked technical, creative central midfielders with the capacity to score goals, such as David Silva, Samir Nasri, and Santi Cazorla.
Five of my father’s seven siblings made their bones as engineers or technologists, and some of his best buddies – David Woods, Elijah Kent, Weldon Staton – carved out successful engineering careers at Langley.
If some modern-day David Brock wanted to defect from the conservative movement and write a tell-all focused solely on the financial chicanery of the entire right-wing nonprofit/think tank/publishing sphere, I would read the absolute heck out of it.
Every musician that dies is the greatest ever when they die. I never heard a David Bowie record in my life. But for whatever reason, he’s one of the greatest of all time now. You know why? ‘Cause he’s dead.
With ‘Futurama,’ I wanted to do unrequited love, and David Cohen agreed, and although our original plan was never to have Fry and Leela get together, we finally just said, ‘You can only string the fans along so far.’
I studied acting in NYU’s graduate program, in which we covered everything from Ibsen and Chekov to August Wilson and David Mamet.
Many of the network television shows have done takeoffs on ‘Family Circus,’ including ‘David Letterman,’ ‘Friends,’ ‘Roseanne,’ and others, and, in my estimation the use of them is a compliment to the popularity of the feature, which just by mentioning it’s name sets up the image of a warm, loving family-type feature.
In the early Sixties, having begun to describe the physiology of cells in the adult cat visual cortex, David Hubel and I decided to investigate how the highly specific response properties of cortical cells emerged during postnatal development.
First, the year 2004, the year past, the Comptroller General of the United States, David A. Walker, said that arguably it was the worst year in American fiscal history, clearly setting our Nation on an unsustainable path.
David Jacobs is a great influence on my life, has taught me so much about so many things.
David Bowie is my biggest inspiration. Pretty much the only thing that stayed the same with Bowie was his eyes. Everything else constantly changed, from his sexuality to his songs.
I always liked how David Beckham played – his set-plays and his dead balls.
I love an underdog. No, I don’t necessarily mean the cartoon. I mean like David, as in Goliath, or the Bears, as in The Bad News Bears.
As soon as someone like me or David Lynch pops up everyone says hallelujah, how weird.
David Frost plucked me from the nightclubs.
