“I had never been to a fashion show before going to the Burberry show last month. It was an extraordinary spectacle. I was incredibly green and had no idea what an undertaking it is. I also have a new respect for models because they are so close to the front row and must be so self-conscious.” IdeasSelfShowsLastsFashionFrontsMonthsModelsConsciousGreenExtraordinaryNo IdeaSelf ConsciousUndertakingsFashion ShowBurberry Author:Eddie Redmayne
“In front of the model I work with the same will to reproduce truth as if I were making a portrait. I do not correct nature, I incorporate myself into it; it directs me. I can only work with a model.

“I don't consider an actor a star if he's paid $20 million and grimaces in front of the camera and has a stunt man stand in for him. They may be fine actors, but they're not role models. The real stars are wearing body armor in 130-degree heat . . . They're getting shot at and they don't have any stunt doubles standing in for them.” IfsMenMayRealBodyActorsStarsRolesMillionsFrontsFineDegreesModelsShotsStandingPaidCamerasHeatRole ModelsArmorGrimace Author:Ben Stein
“To many of us now, computers, silicon chips, data processing, cybernetics, and all the other innovations of the dawning high technology age are as mystifying as the workings of the combustion engine must have been when that first Model T rattled down Main Street, U.S.A.

“My SUV, assuming Hummer comes out with a model for those who find the current ones too cramped, will look something like the Louisiana Superdome on wheels.

It'll come, when I buy it, with little Hondas and Mazdas already embedded in the front grillwork.” LooksLittlesWalksFrontsModelsAssumingCurrentsWheelsGasSaudisEmbeddedLouisianaSquadDrivewaySuvsHonda Author:David Brooks
“The model for an NHL without fighting is right there in front of us. The [playoffs are] the time of year that fans love best; when the best hockey is played... [The] enforcers don't play. Even mini-enforcers... remain on the bench. Teams and coaches can't afford anything stupid and unpredictable... With no one to fight back for them, players go harder into the corners, more determinedly to the front of the net. If they want to fire up the crowd and their teammates, they have to do it themselves. And in the playoffs, they do.” IfsWantInspirationalYearsPlayMotivationalFightingLove IsFirePlayerTeamFansFrontsStupidModelsHarderCrowdsCornersCoachesHockeyUnpredictableTeammateNhlBenchesPlayoffsBest Hockey Author:Ken Dryden

“I think the nerves aspect is a bit of a joke. How hard can it be to walk up and down in a straight line? You just need to put one step in front of another, most people do it all the time.

“I was raised by my grandmother. She had a very difficult time, raised all her kids, my father and everybody. Listening to those stories and finding her so strong, poised. Anybody who came close to her was made to feel blessed. And at the same time, it didn't matter how strong a person was, in front of her, their head would go down. She carried through her life raising everybody.

“I think because I do model for brands but it's never without input, ever. With AG I front their campaign, and obviously designed the collection for them.
