Dick Clark is an American icon. I am honored that he has entrusted me with such a role in this national tradition.
I like to blow up stereotypes, like taking the icons of metal, the epitome of male testosterone and showing them as regular people.
I find the idea of today's icons being teenagers incredibly uninspiring.
Working with Cate Blanchett, on and off the screen, has always been a highlight for me. She embodies the perfect combination of consummate actor and world-class fashion icon.
I am the showstopper. The main event. The Icon that can still go.
Before I write a novel, images float around in my head that work like icons - they are meaningless in themselves, but serve as reminders.
I think comedians have a function in society, which is to make fun of our icons.
A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to prove you're a lady.
1962 to 1965, where suddenly the guitar became this icon of youth culture all over the world, thanks mostly to the Beatles. Add to that, that I saw A Hard Day's Night 12 or 13 times, and that the guitar was the one instrument that my parents absolutely refused to let in the house. So you add it up and see that irresistible forces led me to the guitar.
We segregate men from women, and no matter how many times we insist that men and women are equal, men and women should be treated the same, when it comes to the moment of excretion, even the most modern society - especially the most modern society - segregates two restrooms with little icons outside the doors, one wearing a dress, one wearing pants.
What I love most about icons is finding out what's behind them, exploring the price of their power.
I get told all the time that I'm a fashion icon now, but I don't really know what that means. I just get dressed.
I feel like the modeling industry is a little bit more accepting of women who make mistakes. They appreciate the idea of icons.
A favorite Wired icon for the information feedback loop, a dragon curling in a circle to swallow its own tail, could become more apt as a symbol of the timeless libertarian paradox: Monopoly verging on feudalism emerges from unregulated competition to bite libertarianism in the posterior.
I've always loved King Kong. He's like a modern-day myth, an icon of the cinema.
I did a couple comedies to balance myself as an actor and balance how audiences see Donnie Yen as an actor, and I would even say as a celebrity or icon, to some fans. I want to show that I'm not Terminator.
I dont want to be compared to Brad Pitt because I dont want to, you know, disappoint anybody. Brad Pitt is an icon.
There are beauty icons that I can never be like, sorta like a Gena Rowlands - I'll never have that look. I love Giulietta Masina, the great Fellini actress. But I'm probably more Seymour Cassel. Or somewhere between Lou Reed and Nora Ephron?
Eventually, I would love to be on my deathbed and looked at as an icon. Right now I'm still at the baby stages of my career. But that is the goal.
Any fight that Floyd Mayweather is in is going to be entertaining, regardless. People come to see an icon, a living legend, a superstar.
