One of my first big shows, I opened up for Chris Brown; I was about 10 years old, and Chris Brown was just big; he still is one of my idols now.
Our minds work in real time, which begins at the Big Bang and will end, if there is a Big Crunch - which seems unlikely, now, from the latest data showing accelerating expansion. Consciousness would come to an end at a singularity.
Martin Bormann: [at Hitler's birthday reception] Himmler is such a pompous clown. General der Infanterie Wilhelm Burgdorf: Big shots. Big shots everywhere. It makes me sick.
Paul Edgecomb: I wanna hear about this new inmate, aside from how big he is! Brutus "Brutal" Howell: Monstrous big!
Harry Bailey: A toast to my big brother George: The richest man in town.
Big Joe: [a mortar round lands close, covering everyone in dust] [muttering] Big Joe: Mulligan, you son of a bitch...
Old Lodge Skins: There is an endless supply of white men. There has always been a limited number of human beings.

Jack Crabb: Mr. Merriweather, you don't know when you're licked! Mr. Merriweather: Licked? I'm not licked. I'm tarred and feathered, that's all.
Old Lodge Skins: It makes my heart sad, a world without human beings has no center to it.
General Custer: A Custer decision impetuous? GRANT called me impetuous, too, the drunkard, sitting there in the White House, calling ME impetuous!

David St. Hubbins: [singing] Big bottom, big bottom / Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em!
It costs a lot of money to release a movie. What you'd call art-house movies - movies that don't have big stars or big budgets - they're very hard for distributors to get behind 'em and take chances.
We still carry this old caveman-imprint idea that we're small, nature's big, and it's everything we can manage to hang on and survive. When big geophysical events happen - a huge earthquake, tsunami, or volcanic eruption - we're reminded of that.
I am a big fan of the old Howard Hawks films from the 30s and 40s, I was a big Hepburn and Tracey fan for a while and Woody Allen films that are a very different kind of romantic comedy.
We can trace things back to the earlier stages of the Big Bang, but we still don't know what banged and why it banged. That's a challenge for 21st-century science.
When you look at golf films before us they're all - garbage or satire. A lot of sports films tend to vilify the opposition. Where the opposition becomes this big angry monster, so big you can't beat him.
