I’ve never been more terrified than when I learned how to paramotor. They attached this machine to my back, as if I was a stuntman in a James Bond movie, and I had to fly over all these trees and patches of concrete in Cirencester.
One would think that it would be very easy, with an iconic character like James Bond, to keep making the films, but it hasn’t been. But, it sure has been entertaining and rewarding.
I love Stuart Scott. There are a lot of people that tore down barriers that we don’t really acknowledge sometimes. He was one. I think James Brown was too. That cat was a soul brother when it wasn’t very popular to be one.
I’ve always been interested in science – one of my favourite books is James Watson’s ‘Molecular Biology of the Gene.’
I have mixed feelings over the dismissal of James Comey as FBI director. We served together at the Department of Justice and I’ve known him for many years.
I embrace old age. Look, I’m never going to dunk on LeBron James, and I’ve learned to accept that. I got a pretty good life, and I’m very fortunate, and I have my blessings.
Anytime James Carville, Paul Begala and David Axelrod hold hands and jump for joy, it’s worth pondering how to turn their joy into tears.
My first hero, as a teenager, was James Connolly. I remember discovering that he was a feminist, and that was an eye-opener, coming from a man of such poverty.
My lab is like a fantasy world – it is more like a ‘James Bond’ movie!
At last, in 1611, was made, under the auspices of King James, the famous King James version; and this is the great literary monument of the English language.
I’ve never managed to get very far with Henry James.
James Joyce actually is rewarding you in all of these incredible ways.
I do read P.D. James because she pays much more attention to character, to a particular atmosphere or setting. But most mystery writers, I think, are controlled by the plot.
I don’t know, and certainly I’ve been guilty of making a judgment about a celebrity, but there’s a part of me that’s like, ‘Why don’t you take the time you’re spending ripping James Franco and go do something you like?’
I don’t jump as high and I’m not as fast as Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. I don’t have many highlight plays, but I can play this game.
It is a total treat to get to work with James Cromwell.
When James Cameron brought me the script, which I developed with both Cameron and Jay Cocks, I wanted to make it a thriller, an action film, but with a conscience, and I found that it had elements of social realism.
I want people to say at the end of my day, you know, like I used to say about Sidney Poitier and James Cagney and Joan Crawford and Red Skelton and those guys and Bill Cosby. They did quality and substance. You always remember them.
There are plenty of writers, past and present, from Shakespeare to Henry James to Lydia Davis, who test the limits of coherence and put pressure on current notions of accessible (and acceptable) narrative methods. To thrive and change and grow, any art needs this kind of pressure.
LeBron James is one of the best players in the league – and one of the best players to ever play the game.
In Valdosta, Ga., during a mini-tour event, a player named James Black bet me $20 he could put five golf balls in his mouth and then close his mouth all the way. I tried it but could get only two in there.
James Brown was one of the first artists who found four bars that he liked and played them the entire way through, and then he just added to it vocally.
I want to be James Bond! I don’t want to be Doctor Who.
Full disclosure: James Comey is a friend. I won’t pretend to neutrality about him. He is a highly honorable and decent person, and I have no doubt that he made the many judgments for which people loathe him in good faith.
Claudia Winkleman is a good laugh and James Corden too.
The great thing about James Baldwin and his writing is that it’s still fresh every time you pick it up. That’s also the sad thing about his writing sometimes, too.
Imagine if James Brown was your roommate. What? Do you know how much fun you’d be having all the time? Oh my God, he would have you looking the freshest. He would have you doing the funnest stuff for sure, easily. You’d be having the most crackin’ parties.
Black culture – we dance and sing. We’re entertainers. James Brown said it best: the things we are make people want to be like us.
