At the pinnacle of great design are products so gorgeous and lust-worthy that you want to lick them: a Porsche 911, Samsung's Luxia TV, an Eames lounge chair or anything by Loro Piana.

I would rather not have contentious interviews. I'd rather do 30 minutes with Charlie Rose, laid back in a La-Z-Boy chair.

I don't like cream puff, corny guys. Usually, they are the nice guys, the ones that won't hurt you. They'll pull out the chair for you and the whole nine yards. Everything is perfect and boring.

I've been proud to be the chair of the Stop the War coalition, proud to be associated with the Stop the War coalition.

Playing college soccer was going to be the top of my athletic feats. I wasn't going to the Olympics. I was a decent player, but it's because of hard work, not because I was Freddy Adu. I wouldn't have a medal from the Olympics if I wasn't in a chair. I wouldn't have gone to the Olympics and experienced the whole atmosphere.

When I'm 80 and sitting in a rocking chair listening to the Rolling Stones, there is absolutely no way I'm going to feel old or forget my younger days.

For me reading a book is what I like doing, curled up in a corner in a comfortable chair.

Humanity's become a product and when humanity is a product, you get Auschwitz and you get Chair.

I realized I could make a difference. I could be their voice; I could fight for them... There's no better place to fight for working families than the governor's chair.

I'm not comfortable leaving the apartment if the bed isn't made or a chair isn't tucked into the table.

I auditioned for 'The Office,' and I don't know if it was a role I could do, but I liked the character. You do one take, and you're reading with a person who's just sitting in a chair and not really... you're not playing off someone, which is what I like to do. I like to play around and find the moment.

Fiction leaves us so much work to do, allows the individual so much input; you have to see, you have to hear, you have to taste the madeleine, and while you are seemingly passive in your chair, you have to travel.

I have never, honestly, thrown a chair in my life.

I remember swallowing my tooth up in a high chair, but I definitely don't remember the first time I played bass.

The first stage play I ever did was a school play called 'The Wishing Chair.'

When I make a film, I don't watch a lot of other films. I read a lot; I try to read poems, things that can liberate my human condition, that make me go away... I spend a lot of the time doing nothing, just concentrating on the subject. Sometimes I'll sit in my chair for two or three hours without doing anything.

When I was a kid, all I knew was that I felt more comfortable sitting in one chair than in another. And now I realize it was because one chair was older. I still respond directly to the age of things.

I always thought I would be the person who sat in the chair for 12 hours. Then I realized there are only three people who do that job.

There needs to be a flat rule where if someone's playing a shot you sit in the chair, and probably more referees need to be a bit sterner with how they apply that rule.

Four legs on a chair, to me, represent a strong foundation and always knowing where I come from.
