When I was three years old, one of the first albums I ever heard was Michael Jackson’s ‘Off the Wall.’
Let me put it this way: If you’re sitting in a movie and you’re watching me, and you say, ‘Isn’t that Michael Caine a wonderful actor?’ then I’ve failed.
If there is a less likely sight on this earth than Clint Dempsey, the Texas trailer-park kid, doing downward-facing dog poses, or the stalwart Michael Bradley deep breathing through a tree pose, I have yet to see it.
I took one guitar lesson, and they wanted me to play ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb’ or ‘Michael Row the Boat Ashore,’ and that was the last guitar lesson that I ever took, so I taught myself what I wanted to know.
Just to assassinate Michael Brown’s character is wrong.
I love Michael Kors! I also love Miu Miu shoes – they’re fabulous, I have so many pairs.
I’m a big fan of Michael Morpurgo.
If you were the greatest, you were the Michael Jordan of whatever business you were in.
Solo artists are generally totally insane. Elton John? Slightly eccentric. George Michael? He’s mad as custard.
You can never entirely rest comfortably with Michael Black or Michael Paynes.
I started Michael years ago. I saw him in Gary, Indiana, and we’d have him on the talent shows. He kind of emulated me, and did the best he could.
I was director of governmental affairs at the Cleveland school district. I served in the administration of Mayor Michael R. White.
No NSA director did as much damage to the agency as Gen. Michael V. Hayden.
I love a good lyricist – always have. The thing that inspired me most was the different performers, like Tina Turner, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Madonna, even Janet Jackson.
R.E.M.’s ‘Automatic for the People’ – that’s probably one of my favourite records – Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ – that’s some record – Crowded House’s ‘Together Alone’ – that’s brilliant, fantastic record.
I wanted to be Michael Jackson as a kid.
On a personal level, I’ve seen a lot in my time as attorney general, but few things have affected me as greatly as my visit to Ferguson. I had the chance to meet with the family of Michael Brown. I spoke to them not just as attorney general but as a father of a teenage son myself.
I don’t want to give too much of it away, because I haven’t cleared it with Bob, but the treatment is twenty years, and she, in an effort to protect herself faked her death and did a series of things regarding Dr. Loomis, who has died, because Michael Myers was after her.
Mark my words, Michael Van Gerwen will knock Phil Taylor off his perch one day and be the best darts player on the planet.
I go back to things that are nostalgic for me – Michael Jackson, the Beatles, Britney Spears, Stevie Wonder.
Satan understands the power of men and women united in righteousness. He is still stinging from his banishment into eternal exile after Michael led the hosts of heaven, comprised of valiant men and women united in the cause of Christ, against him.
With Venus and Serena and their ascension – and you had a lot of kids that saw them and wanted to be like them – it’s like any sport, any major athlete, like Michael Jordan in basketball: everybody wanted to be like Mike.
That’s the thing about Michael Moore, when you read his stuff, he’s so sure he’s right about everything; even when he’s wrong, he’s entertaining.
Michael Taylor is not being executed for homicide. Michael Taylor is being executed for raping a white female.
Michael Schultz’s ‘Cooley High’ is a classic. Oftentimes, we don’t get to see films about coming of age, especially for young African Americans.
Jazz is all about improvisation and it’s about the moment in time, doing it this way now, and you’ll never do it this way twice. I’ve studied the masters. Why would I want to play ball after the guys who sit on a bench? I want to play like Michael Jordan.
I always wanted to work with Michael Jackson. His music will live forever and with technology nowadays… maybe I could.
The press seemed to take some delight that I previously had a ‘straight audience,’ and set about trying to destroy that. And I think some men were frustrated that their girlfriends wouldn’t let go of the idea that George Michael just hadn’t found the ‘right girl.’
As a dancer, obviously, we are all inspired by Michael Jackson, and I always looked up to Gene Kelly. He was a bigger version of Fred Astaire, and he was amazing as well.
They’re really nice kids. Michael is really raising them properly and right.
I met The Beatles and Stones at the same time, because Michael Cooper was doing several of their album covers.
On ‘Ant-Man’, I took a rubber stamp from the office of Hank Pym, who’s played by Michael Douglas.
What’s it like finding out Denzel Washington wants you to direct his next movie? It’s like getting a phone call from Muhammad Ali or Michael Jordan saying they want you to coach them.
I’m a world expert on superhero comics. I think maybe only Michael Chabon knows more than me.
Film and TV and stuff like that was something that I wanted to do when I was really, really little; like, I remember I used to do these plays with my cousins. We used to do Michael Jackson performances, and I would be Michael.
We exalted that Michael Phelps-consecrated water. Rose petals were strewn in Peyton Manning’s path when he retired. But hey, that’s natural. As we should, we admire those in any craft, no less so in sports, who appear out of nowhere to achieve remarkable feats.
I think there is a special bond between Carolina athletes. A lot of people seem to wear our gear because it is fashionable. They love the colors. It’s Michael Jordan’s school!
See, I have to do my best because I am not as glamorous or as well-equipped like a Beyonce Knowles or Michael Jackson, where their band members are close to 100-150 people. They even have great equipment which is flown along with the artists. They have a budget of around $5 million pumped in to make their concerts a hit.
‘Behind The Candelabra’ is an HBO movie. It’s the Liberace story. Michael Douglass and Matt Damon. I play a small part in it. I play a choreographer who introduces, brings Matt Damon to Las Vegas for the first time.
I want to do for rebounds what Michael Jordan did for dunks.
I’ve studied documentarians extensively to come up with my own in-house style. I’m a student of Michael Moore’s films, of Eisenstein, Riefenstahl. Leave the politics aside, you have to learn from those past masters on how they were trying to communicate their ideas.
I was influenced by big, strong voices – writers like Elizabeth Bowen, Virginia Woolf, Jane Bowles; gay writers like Ed White, Michael Cunningham, Allen Hollinghurst; and contemporary lesbian writers, like Dorothy Allison.
Restoration I did because I really loved e novel and I like Michael Hoffman, who directed it, but it wasn’t a really challenging part for me. I’m not critical of the film: I just don’t think I gave a very interesting performance.
I don’t want to be a Michael Moore-style artist, which is not to disparage Michael Moore. But he seems rather unsuccessful at winning people over who don’t already agree with him.
Part of Michael’s uniqueness, I think, comes from the fact that he worked with music. He had a tape which he gave me with many different compositions, really eclectic. These pieces of music were sources of inspiration.
When I started writing, I was reading people such as Tom Clancy or Michael Crichton, who did ‘Jurassic Park,’ which is possibly the most action-filled book you’ll read, apart from mine, and I said to myself, ‘Why aren’t these guys doing big-scale action like you would see in a movie?’
I always had a love of music, from the time I was a little kid, dressing up and singing along with Michael Jackson songs.
As Michael Scheuer, who ran the C.I.A.’s bin Laden unit until 1999, has pointed out, if bin Laden believed in Christmas, the Iraq war would be his perfect present from Santa Claus. The 9/11 attacks and the subsequent war in Afghanistan severely damaged bin Laden’s organization.
I vividly remember my mom would put on this VHS of Michael Jackson’s greatest hits music videos. I’d watch that all the time.
A lot of players will tell you, ‘When I was a kid, I watched Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, LeBron, Magic, and I wanted to be just like them.’ For me, it wasn’t like that at all.
What a blast it is to be here with Michael Moore.
Between ‘Futurama’ and ‘Simpsons,’ I’m able to work with the voices of Michael Jackson, Dustin Hoffman, and the cast of ‘Star Trek.’ It’s great, you know; it’s great to work with such talented people.
I’m never going to let nobody take those kids. They Michael’s kids. They have no right to try to take those kids. It’s going to be a big mess over that.
‘Infernal Affairs’ uses a vibrating terseness usually found in the writer and director Michael Mann’s work. Thematically, this film deploys the techniques Mr. Mann brought to bear on ‘Heat,’ right down to using a similar cold-blooded electronic score.
I thought that I was going to be Mrs. Michael Jackson, but I was ready at 20 and 21 to get married, and he was not even close to getting married or having a girlfriend at that time, but yes, we dated. We dated for a while.
The biggest downside of my current job is that I have to wear a suit to work. Wearing uncomfortable clothes on purpose is an example of what former Princeton hockey player and Nobel Prize winner Michael Spence taught economists to call ‘signaling.’
