Remember Graham Green’s dictum that childhood is the bank balance of the writer? I think that all writers feel alienated. Most of us go back to an alienated childhood in some way or another. I know that I do. – John le Carre
During summer or charity games I’ll wear my bright orange or green or turquoise ones and guys are always like, ‘Why are your shoes so bright?’ – James Harden
If you have some potatoes, green beans and cauliflower, you have a heck of a dish that can feed an entire family. – Jose Andres
I was twenty-seven when I began to write seriously, and after two years of rejections, my first book, ‘The One in the Middle is the Green Kangaroo,’ was accepted for publication. – Judy Blume
I could take my grandma and put her in a cape, and they’ll put her on a green screen, and they’ll have stunt doubles come in and do all the action. Anybody can do it. They’re relying on stunt doubles and green screen and $200 million budgets – it’s all CGI created. To me, it’s not authentic. – Jason Statham
I think being an archer is much more integral to Green Arrow and his mythos than it is to Hawkeye. – Jeff Lemire
I get a certain feeling when I go to Lambeau field in Green Bay. Soldier field in Chicago is special to me. Those are the places that I really like. The stadiums. – John Madden
‘Call Me’ is not an exceptional Al Green album, but it is as solid as a rock at its center. – Jon Landau
I learned how to cook by making soups, so I was thinking of how to make the most eco-friendly and green way to make soup. Obviously, using water and vegetables from your garden is the most sustainable way. – Anna Getty
Hollywood is the place to be for actors – and there’s just a big rush when an Australian comes over just because there’s less of them. I guess that’s just how it is. Like if you pick a pink jellybean out of a jar of green ones it’d be amazing, but if you pick a green one, no one will care. – Callan McAuliffe
Eudora Welty’s ‘A Curtain of Green’ had an enormous effect on me. But my early attempts to graft stories from the Deep South onto North of England provincialism were not successful. All were rejected. – Barry Unsworth
I was a Green Day guy because the first DVD I bought was Green Day’s ‘Bullet In A Bible,’ the live album. That really empowered me to be not just a drummer but a performer. It’s a really crucial part of why I wanted to be in a band. – Ashton Irwin
It’s an honor to see that green jacket in the bedroom closet, but I’m not going to become somebody else because I won the Masters. – Bubba Watson
If you make a huge pot of soup, you can freeze part of it and eat off it for days. I love making green bean soup, and I’ll throw in some cashews, almonds or tofu, and voila, I’ve got a soup that’s loaded with protein and vegetables. – Anna Getty
‘Noah’ doesn’t merely get the story wrong; like all Biblical adaptations, it’s bound to do that (although some aspects of the film are out and out ridiculous). It gets the morality of the story wrong, and in the process turns God into Gaia and morality into radical deep green environmentalism. – Ben Shapiro
Twitter is a form of free speech, and I’m all for that. But if Cee Lo Green, a maverick of sorts, can’t get on Twitter and say something outlandish or outrageous, then what is the whole point of Twitter at all? – CeeLo Green
In the U.S., those requesting a Green Card must take an oath that they will fulfill the rights and duties of citizenship. – Avigdor Lieberman
As a director, you’ve got to have quite a few projects going because you never know which one will actually come together with the financing and get the green light. – Catherine Hardwicke
It’s a dream come true for Bubba Watson from Bagdad, Florida to have the green jacket on. – Bubba Watson
Ireland is a series of stories that have been told to us, starting with the Irish Celtic national revival. I never believed in ‘Old Ireland.’ It has been made all of kitsch by the diaspora, looking back and deciding what Ireland is. Yes, it is green. Yes, it is friendly. I can’t think of anything else for definite. – Anne Enright
My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear. – Anne Lamott
I’ve been down to the Ecolodge in Panama, but there really are only a handful of real green hotels in the U.S. – Barry Sternlicht
There’s been a long-standing relationship between me and individual members of the Green Party. – Cynthia McKinney
