‘Even though I support the blue side of Manchester’s football heritage, I don’t really mind that wherever I go in the world it’s not Manchester City that starts the conversation. ‘Ah, yes, Manchester United,’ is the response when I say where I come from. It’s commonplace everywhere – in Europe, Africa, Asia and even the U.S.’ – Lucy Powell

‘For me, with the Blue Man Group, I got asked. It was for the Royal Variety Show, which was something I always wanted to be a part of. I’m really interested in things people don’t necessarily expect. I did a pop song, but I did it in my own style.’ – Katherine Jenkins

‘When ‘The Thin Blue Line’ came out, I was criticized by many people for using reenactments, as if I wasn’t dedicated to the truth because I filmed these scenes. That always and still seems to be nonsensical.’ – Errol Morris

‘What is hypertext? It is a method of giving a text more depth, structuring it, and letting the computer help you explore it. Links, like we know today – you see some blue underlined word and you click on it and it takes you somewhere else. That’s the simplest definition of hypertext.’ – Robert Cailliau

‘I think my message goes out to the entire spectrum of political parties. I’m supported by the Tea Party, the Conservative Party and the Republican Party. I come from a Democratic world. My world is moderate Democrats, Reagan-type Democrats if you want, the blues or whatever you call them, the Blue Dogs. That’s been my world, historically.’ – Carl Paladino

‘I did a dance sequence in my second short film, which was my best short film, called ‘Hairway to the Stars,’ and I think Chris Wink, the founder of Blue Man Group, was in that. It’s a black-and-white dance sequence. We were Glorious Food waiters together.’ – David O. Russell

‘It was a gradual process, realising I was different. I remember at primary school getting a worksheet with sums printed on it.

To me, nine is big and blue.’ – Daniel Tammet

‘I think a lot of people think I was born in a blue suit, on the David Brinkley show. And that isn’t me. I am much more that kid who grew up in South St. Louis, in a very modest household, with a simple background with parents who didn’t get through high school.’ – Dick Gephardt

‘Virgin Galactic, which will be operating SpaceShipTwo, will be only one of several spacelines. The competitors for Virgin include the Russians, Bezos’s Blue Origin, and possibly Rocketplane Kistler.

‘All through my life, I didn’t really consider my eyes at all, and then I became an actress. It’s great, I guess. They’re just in my face, and one is green and one is blue.

‘John Boehner is the ultimate Beltway hack, a man whose unmatched and self-serving skill at political survival has made him, after two decades in Washington, the hairy blue mold on the American congressional sandwich.’ – Matt Taibbi

‘Beauty is that little something that fills the whole world, and is contained neither in a single straight nose, a long eyelash, nor a blue mountain.

‘When I hit my 20s, I struggled to make it. I got married at 19, and my daughter, Je’Niece, was born a year later. I worked blue collar jobs during the day and comedy clubs at night, and I was earning about $25 a year doing stand-up.’ – Bernie Mac

‘The Ford Flex is a really, really cool car. You get inside and you have so much headroom and it’s really comfortable to drive and it’s real techy inside. You look at the screen and it’s blue and you’ve got all kinds of controls. Everything is digital.’ – Gabriel Iglesias

‘We can still do a stop motion feature for about one-third of what it costs Pixar or DreamWorks or Blue Sky to make a feature. But nobody is interested in a film that cost $50 to 60 million with the potential to do $120 million. They want to risk big money to make huge money.’ – Henry Selick

‘Everybody needs to show respect to each others’ ways and the cultural life that you get on this planet. Don’t get caught up on ‘I’m brown, black, white, red, blue, whatever.’ You gotta ask, what were you called before 1492? All these names we’re using now are just an illusion made to keep us fighting each other.’ – Afrika Bambaataa

‘All of the films that I’ve made are about the country I live in and grew up in… And I think if you’re going to put an artist’s eye to it, you’re going to put a critical eye to it. I’ve always been interested in the gray area that exists between the black and white, or the red and blue, and that’s where complexity lies.’ – Robert Redford

‘Working on ‘NYPD Blue’ and ’24’, those two series, I did full runs on those. It’s great work, but everything has to align.

‘When you’re young, the blue blazer feels like a grown-up costume.’ – Willie Geist

‘Contrary to conventional wisdom, the blue blazer’s a bit of a loose cannon. A suit decided long ago what it wanted to be, and it doesn’t want to hear your ideas, but a blue blazer only got around to half the job. So it leaves it up to you to find its bottoms. Gray slacks, blue jeans, patterns, white pants and different blue shades all work.’ – Willie Geist

‘I’m in my father’s car at age 9 or 10 crying to Leonard Cohen’s ‘Famous Blue Raincoat,’ thinking that you could write nearly a love letter to a man who betrayed you by having an affair with your wife. I was thinking how wonderful and pure music can be for explaining situations.’ – Lou Doillon

‘I worked on ‘Blue Peter’ and ‘Tonight’ and lots of TV plays, filmed people like Rudolf Nureyev and Ted Heath, and ended up a senior cameraman with my own crew. I’d had my first short story published in 1947, and when my writing really started to take off I decided to go freelance, and eventually left the BBC in 1965.’ – Michael Bond

‘NBC’s pilot season of 1994 is legendary in the business. In a world where failure is commonplace, we midwifed the birth of both ‘Friends’ and ‘ER’. While ‘ER’ came essentially out of the blue, we’d been casting around for a ‘Friends’-like show for some time at the network.’ – Warren Littlefield

‘Most coaches would consider leading a team to an Olympic gold medal a capper for a pretty good year. The same goes for winning an NCAA national championship. Or a FIBA world championship.

‘I have the soundtrack for ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ which is kind of cool. I guess I don’t really end up buying a lot of modern soundtracks. Another soundtrack I love is from a French movie called ‘Betty Blue.’ it has some really melancholy piano work.’ – James Mercer

‘I don’t even know why, but I’ve just always done it – I don’t walk on handicapped parking spaces. I don’t like to step on the blue lines. I always step over them. I don’t know what the deal is. I don’t know if it’s a fear of injury, or a disrespectful thing, or if I just don’t want to think about something like that happening.’ – Chantal Sutherland

‘One night, I lay awake for hours, just terrified. When the dawn finally came up – the comfortable blue sky, the familiar world returning – I could think of no other way to express my relief than through poetry.

‘I’ll never throw away my blue jeans.’ – Susan Ford

‘When you get up, the night and day is a contradiction. But you get up at 4 A.M. That first blush of blue is where the night and day are trying to find harmony with each other. Harmony is the notes that Mozart didn’t give you, but somehow the contradiction of his notes suggest that. All contradictions of his notes suggest the harmony.’ – Shekhar Kapur

‘I’m a human being first and foremost, and I have something to say that I think is worthwhile. ‘Blue Caprice’ is just the second installment of so much more coming.’ – Isaiah Washington

‘I can recommend wearing blue mascara whilst writing. I’m telling you, it really adds something.’ – Helen Oyeyemi

‘The Left despises Texas, with its stellar record of job growth; Texas, with its strong support for traditional marriage and the sanctity of life; Texas, the root of the conservative tree. Should the Left succeed in its attempt to turn Texas purple, America could turn permanently blue.’ – Ben Shapiro

‘The highs were high, the awe, I’m not a religious person, but I’ll tell you, to be in the azure blue of the Gulf Stream as if, as you’re breathing, you’re looking down miles and miles and miles, to feel the majesty of this blue planet we live on, it’s awe-inspiring.’ – Diana Nyad

‘There is the idea that, when we look at things, it is the yellow light that helps us the most, that we are the most sensitive for.

‘By modulating the amount of blue in our environment, we can help people to relax, or to be alert; to fall asleep, or to stay awake.’ – Rogier van der Heide

‘When I wrote ‘Your Republic Is Calling You,’ it was Franz Kafka’s writing that I had most in mind, and James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses.’ Entirely out of the blue, Kafka’s characters receive an order to go somewhere, and when they try to comply, they never quite manage it. Ki-yong in ‘Your Republic Is Calling You’ is precisely that sort of character.’ – Kim Young-ha

‘Stars that become supernovae start off at least eight times heavier than our sun. They’re so short-lived that, even if they have planets, there is unlikely to be time for life to get started. The surface is 40,000C and, as a result, the colouring will be extremely blue.’ – Martin Rees

‘As I prepare for my second term as Secretary-General, I am thinking hard about how we can meet the expectations of the millions of people who see the U.N.’s blue flag as a banner of hope.

”Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On’ was my anthem as a child. It was about me. I was Baby.’ – Carrie Underwood

‘If life is going well, I watch quality things like period dramas and ‘The Blue Planet.’ But other times, I’ll trawl through anything Freeview has to offer. I do believe TV can ruin your mind, but it can also be a really good friend.’ – Raquel Cassidy

‘I do prime time network shows like ‘Blue Bloods.’ I’ve done ‘Fringe,’ I’ve done ‘The Good Wife,’ done a lot of ‘The Mentalist.’ – John Polson’ – John Polson

‘The Weezer ‘Blue’ Album is a classic. I think My Morning Jacket’s ‘Circuital’ is a great album to have. Any Led Zeppelin album. Pink Floyd ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ or ‘Animals.’ I always catch myself at concerts being like, ‘Oh, I just stared at the drummer for 15 straight minutes.’ I study them.’ – Christopher Mintz-Plasse

I can still recall the warm orange glow of the vacuum tube filaments and the cool blue glow of the thyratron tubes.’ – David Lee

‘I fought violently for the autonomy of architecture. It’s a very passive, weak profession where people deliver a service. You want a blue door, you get a blue door. You want it to look neo-Spanish, you get neo-Spanish. Architecture with any authenticity represents resistance. Resistance is a good thing.’ – Thom Mayne

‘I think the Internet is an awful lot like FM radio was when it broke out in the late ’60s. It’s kind of a wild and wily kind of format. They could play 20 songs in a row that had the word ‘blue’ in them, or whatever they wanted to do.’ – Roger McGuinn

‘I used to take formal notes in lines of blue, and underline the key words in red, and I realised I needed only the key words and the idea.

‘Imagine Texas as a blue state: how hard it would be to carry the presidency or gain control of the Senate.’ – Jeb Bush

‘David Lynch plucked me from obscurity. He cast me as the lead in ‘Dune’ and ‘Blue Velvet,’ and people have seen me as this boy-next-door-cooking-up-something-weird-in-the-basement ever since. I was 23 when I first met him, in his bungalow on the Universal lot, and could never have predicted we would have such an enduring relationship.’ – Kyle MacLachlan

‘In the early 1970s, phone phreaks manipulated the long-distance system using blue boxes that they built from sketchy photocopied schematics that were often riddled with errors. Not many had the skill to do this. Phreaking was restricted to a select few.’ – Charles Platt

‘When I talk about rock n’ roll, to me, that goes back to the beginning of the 1950s. Blue suede shoes and sideburns, man. Pink and black coloured clothes. Turn your collar up, comb your hair in ducktails. And the music was cool. It was a whole culture then – a different world.’ – Bobby Keys

‘Even with seemingly simple things like eye color, you can’t tell from my genetic code whether I have blue eyes or not. So it’s naive to think that complex human behaviors, like risk-seeking, are driven by changes in one or two genes.’ – Craig Venter

‘If you watch the ‘Blue Collar Tour,’ I was probably the least redneck of everybody.’ – Bill Engvall

‘I’m a blue collar guy.’ – Bill Engvall

‘I actually like getting up to blue skies.’ – Marianne Jean-Baptiste

‘You look at science fiction and look how often it talks about being alien, being alienated about the other. Look at the number of blue people – ‘Avatar,’ I’m looking at you. And it is now easier to find people of color in science-fiction literature and media, but the issues of representation are still really, really troubling.’ – Nalo Hopkinson

‘Everything that feminism stands for is everything American, white, red and blue democratic. It is all the same stuff.

‘Don’t eat shrimp – it’s one of the most unsustainable fish. For every pound that’s caught, 10 or 20 pounds of other stuff is killed and dumped back overboard.

‘When you talk to a Republican, many of them just outright say, ‘Yeah. Climate change isn’t real,’ without assessing the facts, and it’s a big problem. It’s not a red or blue issue, it’s a green issue… Not because of facts or science but because of emotion.’ – Philippe Cousteau, Jr.

‘All four of the actors in ‘You’re the Worst,’ we all have strong theater backgrounds. We all play off of each other in that way that you would in theater. You kind of are up for anything out of the blue happening and getting it on film, you know? We’re all just open to playing.’ – Kether Donohue

‘Western beauty is considered the dominant beauty in the world. Tall, blond, blue eyes. I always felt a little self-conscious because I wanted to be more Caucasian. I tried to get bigger eyes… I would dress preppy.’ – Michelle Phan

But he was the disgruntled middle-man. That would be a fun character.’ – J. K. Simmons

‘The FCC was founded in 1934, and their first major action was in 1941 when they broke up NBC. NBC used to be NBC Red and NBC Blue, and they broke them up for the same exact reason: that there wasn’t going to be a diversity of voices and because they were vertically integrated.’ – Tony Cardenas

‘The emphasis in ‘Notting Hill’ was perhaps, I thought, slightly more on the romance than on the comedy. But I think ‘Mickey Blue Eyes’ is maybe slightly more on the comedy. And the tone on ‘Mickey Blue Eyes,’ it’s a far sillier film.’ – Hugh Grant

”Notting Hill?’ Does that poke fun at being British? Maybe it does. In ‘Mickey Blue Eyes,’ that’s kind of the point: the clash of worlds, the unlikely combo of a respectable Englishman and a mob guy. If you take out the Britishness, you don’t really have much.’ – Hugh Grant

‘A word about blue jeans, which, when I was growing up, were called dungarees, one of the more unfortunate marketing ideas of our time: Starting as a work garment for miners, the ubiquitous blue jeans became a staple of the counterculture starting when Brando wore them in ‘On the Waterfront’ and remained so through the anti-war protests of the ’70s.’ – Roger Stone

‘Like Picasso, I go through blue periods, green periods, or grey periods.’ – Sonia Rykiel

‘My dad was a mechanic, and I have great style memories of him. He wore, every single day: a blue chambray shirt, Levi’s 501s, and Red Wing boots.

I could not have predicted it.’ – Michael Emerson
