I didn’t realize until high school that the man wearing a cowboy hat on the poster in our garage was actually Ronald Reagan, so my parents just – it was how we were, I grew up on five acres of land in Flagstaff, Arizona and we really just lived a conservative lifestyle.
You get these horrifying straight-to-video things for very little money, then you go to the Cannes Film Festival, and they got some poster of you, 40 ft. high, in the worst movie in the world.
After watching my first World Series in 1977, I wanted to be Reggie Jackson. I bought a big Reggie poster. I ate Reggie candy bars. I entered a phase during which I insisted on having the same style of glasses Reggie had: gold wire frames with the double bar across.
Don’t feel you have to buy something to sit in or at. Buy something you are emotionally attached to and build your design around that. One Matisse cutout poster could provide you with your whole color scheme!
The Woodstock dove on the iconic poster is really a catbird. And it was originally perched on a flute.
I often get people that come up to me with the UFC 151 poster with me and Dan on it and ask me to sign it.
I began to see that the short texts I was writing were poster material.
‘Hate Story 4’ is a revenge drama. My character Tasha is the real hero of the film. If you look at the poster, you will know.
They’re not going to have a homeless person on a poster representing New York.
It’s not that I lead this oblivious life where I think I’ve got such a great personality that people want to spend time with me. If someone has a poster of you or asks for your autograph, clearly you can’t take them out on a date. It’s not that interesting if someone is just interested in you.
I never want to hold myself up as the poster child of the successful mother-businesswoman. It’s a total ‘Gong Show.’ I won’t pretend. When you do so many things, something always suffers. You just can’t be great at everything.
Hate Story’ is about power of women and I feel her bare back poster with a gun justifies it.
Over my desk hangs a poster from The Railway Children that my husband had framed for me. It is so lovely to see the children smiling as they run down the railway track.
I had a Dan Fouts Nike poster with ‘The Bomb Squad’ on my wall as a kid. I was also a huge Larry Bird fan. One of my proudest art achievements is a papier-mache eagle decked out head-to-toe in Celtics gear.
I’m certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl.
Most of the dialogue in ‘Speed’ is mine, and a bunch of the characters. That was actually pretty much a good experience. I have quibbles. I also have the only poster left with my name still on it. Getting arbitrated off the credits was un-fun.
When kids tune in and see Jordan Devlin, Trent Seven, Pete Dunne, Wolfgang on the WWE Network, and then they see a poster at the town hall for their local wrestling show, they’re gonna say, ‘Oh my God, that’s Pete Dunne. I wanna go see him.’
It’s pretty funny, just driving by in a cab, and you see a huge billboard of yourself on the side of a hotel, like a 100-by-100 poster hanging up.
But from my very first gig I’ve always been pretty filthy, but that’s why we have an age restriction. And I make sure that the quotes on the poster say it’s going to be a bit rude.
I want to be a poster boy for the uncool.
I’ve always been one foot in, one foot out of this game because I’m not comfortable with being on the pedestal or the poster. That’s just not who I am. I’m more like the grunt. I want to be the guy behind the guy.
I don’t want to feel like I have to be a poster child for anything other than being a great artist. I don’t take that on board as being my responsibility as a gay man, because I think it’s really limiting.
I’ve never wanted to be a poster boy, but if I’m going to be a poster boy for anything, it should be this. If you don’t give up, and if you carry on believing in yourself when others are doubting you, you can make it.
A lot of people that I work with now call me Netflix’s poster boy and that makes me so happy as who doesn’t want to be.
I’m a huge poster collector.
I was a pretentious teenager, so of course I had, you know, ‘Raging Bull’ posters and all of that. ‘Raging Bull’ is not a pretentious movie, but me having the poster was a pretentious action. I even grew a goatee and had a Knicks cap, because I thought I wanted to be like Spike Lee.
I went to see ‘The Babadook’ at the cinema. Even as I was walking there, I was thinking, ‘What the hell am I doing here?’ Before I would never have seen something that had a poster proclaiming it was shockingly scary or ‘You won’t sleep at night.’ But I paid money and really enjoyed it.
There is no gospel of atheism. Atheists don’t pray at the altar of a Richard Dawkins poster.
I won’t admit to having a poster of Borg on my bedroom door. But I certainly found him to be someone who got me way more into tennis.
You know, people want to honor me, and on the one hand I just don’t want to be a poster child; but on the other, I want to do something classy and great – something where the residuals will go to the cause.
Facebook is not ideologically neutral. In fact, it emerges from a very particular world view which we can trace back to Hobbes. I discovered this by examining the profile of Zuckerberg’s fellow board members who, unlike him, are a very interesting bunch and, I suspect, the real power behind the poster boy.
Some of the most innocuous inventions have proven earth-shattering, with reverberations felt around the planet. The Internet is the poster child for disruptive technology, but even such inventions as Amazon’s Kindle and Apple’s iPod have rocked their respective industries by changing how we entertain ourselves.
In the case of the Obama poster, I was just exercising my First Amendment rights – and my free speech is exercised visually. People who want to talk or write in order to share an opinion about Obama can do that, but when I want to say what I think about him, I need to make a portrait.
I’m an independent thinker. And I’m not the poster child for any movement. I’m trying to support whatever’s right no matter where it is.
Essentially, what QAnon was – what the Q poster was doing – was impersonating a federal agent.
With the Larry Bertlemann portrait, I started with a photograph that I could use for it. I built the drawing’s identity to serve as a graphic identity. After a number of sketches, I went into my own abstract vernacular of drawn lines and shapes to create the composition for the poster design.
She’s always been there for me through anything, I can think of many school projects I had to do and I would say, ‘Mom, can you help me.’ She would help me write a paper or make a poster. She’s just been that kind of mom. No matter what, she makes sure I’m alright and I thank her for that.
I no longer believe in fad diets, crash diets… yes, I did have a jump-start because years ago I did get the liposuction and a tummy tuck, but I have to say that, if there is a poster child for plastic surgery and the jump-off to a new lifestyle, it would be me.
I believe it is actually fomenting the growth of ISIL; Donald Trump could be a recruitment poster for ISIL because he is fanning the flames of hate.
I had given thought to acting, but I never really had a good enough opportunity or a character who made sense and paralleled my life a little bit. I feel like I’m one of the poster boys for a bad guy in a movie. I feel like I’m a good person to play a bad guy in a movie. I can say that.
Barack Obama likes to point to General Motors as the poster child for the job creation success of his economic policies. However, whatever your sentiments about the government’s bailout of General Motors, for every job Barack Obama ‘saved-or-created’ in the U.S. there were two jobs off shore.
