A lot of people say they feel tired, and I think that's why we have a prevalence of coffee shops.

It doesn't matter how big a star you are or whatever.

Shaun FlemingLet's say you're someone's phone, and you notice that your owner is drinking coffee at certain times of the day, just very subtly indicating where the local coffee shop is which happens to have paid, you know, whoever makes your phone at the right moment.

Eva Marie SaintI must say, some are not very beautifully made. Theyโre coffee-table books for people who drink alcohol. I have nothing against coffee-table books as long as they are well done. They must not look like gravestones on a table. Sometimes they are too big, they come in boxes and things like this. No, a book has to be easy to open and you donโt have to be a bodybuilder to lift it. I like books I can read in bed. Those big tombstones would kill me.
Karl LagerfeldThe growth of the company and the license that Starbucks has is to participate in other food and beverage opportunities.

Dave BarryI'm also lonely. I'll admit it. I go to Twitter because I'm lonely. I get my coffee in the morning, and I live alone. I get on Twitter, and I sit and have my coffee. Sometimes I'll look at it for 30 minutes. I will waste a lot of time on Twitter. I do! But it's my guilty pleasure. And I'll look for some happy stories to retweet, and I'll say some uplifting things to people. I try not to get caught into - I used to get tangled up into some crazy stuff. But I try not to do that anymore.

The actors would go away to makeup and costume and the director and the DP would work out how they were going to cover what the actors had just done.
Paul BettanyThere's probably some buried conservative inside of me, coming out like a little gremlin in my belly that I've suppressed. This is a sort of character I've done before: He's kind of dumb and he's kind of arrogant, and a little seedy. A little coke-y. He's gotten into the cocaine or he's had too much coffee. It's been pretty fun. Not all the songs are like that but it sort of creeps in there.

Amos OzIf you don't think, and you have no wit and you have so many hangups that you can't look beyond your cup of coffee then you're never going to understand what I'm really saying.

I'd even prefer to not see a woman touch up her lipstick, but I guess that's expecting too much.
