I want to work with Peter Robinson as first minister in a positive, constructive way and leave the elections to the electorate.
I love looking back at the older fights; they don’t make them like they used to. Just watching Tommy Hearns, the technique in his punching, the brilliance and the combinations from the likes of Ray Leonard and ‘Sugar’ Ray Robinson.
I like Edward G. Robinson – he started as a character actor and became a lead, which is probably why I like him.
I started playing the guitar when we started filming the pilot to ‘Lost in Space,’ which was way back in December of 1964, and there’s a little bit in the pilot that was used in the first season where Will Robinson is sitting around some bad foam rubber rock playing and singing ‘Greensleeves.’
When my younger son was 13 years old, he asked me to read ‘Swallows and Amazons’ to him while he made models. He liked it so much that I ended up reading all thirteen of Ransome’s books, including the ones that I missed out on. This led my son to ‘Treasure Island,’ ‘Robinson Crusoe’ and ‘Coral Island.’
It’s not every day you get to be in a movie about Jackie Robinson, so you want to do it as right as you can.
I really never saw an obstacle for me in taking leadership positions because, in a very ridiculous way, I thought, ‘If Mary Robinson can do it then why can’t I?’
My main goal is to connect with the crowd. I leave room for improv. Whatever happens, happens. When I bring my band with me, it turns into the Craig Robinson comedy dance party.
I had a very mixed kind of childhood reading. I read the childhood classics like ‘Robinson Crusoe,’ ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ ‘Chums Annual.’ At the same time, I read an enormous number of American comics because Shanghai was an American zone of influence.
I read Lorrie Moore and Marilynne Robinson and Jhumpa Lahiri and Richard Ford, John Updike, Anton Chekhov, Vladimir Nabokov – all of whom I really fell in love with.
Training with Billy Robinson is just like any martial artist who would go to the old master of the art. He’s so knowledgeable.
I was part of a group called Casanova Fly, doing bouncer work, attending college and working in a pizza shop when I first met producer Sylvia Robinson who came into the pizza shop where I was flipping the dough. I was rapping in the park in Englewood, and she heard about what I was doing.
I was stronger than Robinson Cano is, but he consistently strikes the baseball with substantially more force than I did.
My all-time favorite TED talks are Brene Brown’s ‘The Power of Vulnerability’ and Sir Ken Robinson’s ‘Do Schools Kill Creativity.’
I cannot express how much music got me through lockdown. I re-discovered Roberta Flack, Smokey Robinson, and Aretha Franklin.
Mrs. Robinson is a little dated now, but it has nothing to do with Joe DiMaggio.
Unlike Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, Jackie Robinson never tried to convert himself into an acceptable black man.
There’s nobody as sexy as Robinson Cano in the box. I had a coach, Chris Sheff, who always told me to be as sexy as you can in the box.
There were plenty of clubs wanting me but as soon as my agent Lee Robinson told me Derby were interested I had a good feeling.
I don’t deny the influence from the first Korn record, which was something we listened to and liked a lot. I liked the rawness of it, and what Ross Robinson did on it, which was why we ended up recording with Ross.
A cursory look at coverage of the so-called ‘Free Tommy’ brigade, centered around the alleged censorship of Tommy Robinson, a notorious anti-Islam campaigner, reveals how liberals shun defending the free-speech rights of the unpalatable.
The world of ‘Terra Nova’ as we joined it… there is a certain amount of prosperity there, and in fact I would say that I was a bit surprised when I first got there to see how it had all developed and how sophisticated the colony was – I had envisioned it being a bit more Swiss Family Robinson, but that wasn’t my call.
