On the ‘Jersey Shore,’ people got a glimpse through a keyhole of who I really am. But the world really started to see me on ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ I am not the best dancer. That was never my strong point. But I wanted to let people know, hey, this kid is risking a lot just to know a different side of him.

Time is not a linear flow, as we think it is, into past, present, and future.

Love isn’t only love, sweetheart. It’s hard work, and trust, and tears, with even a few glimpses of devastation.

For me, it is important to not just tell the audience how the story ended today, but to give a glimpse into how other people’s stories might go on, in the future.

When I write, I get glimpses into future novels.

All I can say about Juliette of the Herbs is that it has made me look at how my life is now, still close to the earth, but not close enough…I’m happy to have seen a glimpse into her life. It encourages me to live as radically as I want. Tish’s film is a grand one.

It is all, as usual, paradox. I have to use what intellect I have in order to write books, but I write the kind of books I do in order that I may try to set down glimpses of things that are on the other side of the intellect. We do not go around and discard the intellect, but we must go through and beyond it.

…catching a glimpse of his rather hippyish form in a mirror, he wonders at this atavism of apparel, is it an inversion of foetal ontogeny, in which the phenotype passes through previous fashion stages? Soon there will be gaiters and gloves…I will probably die, he thinks, clad in animal skins.

I remember going down the tunnel into the Olympic Stadium and getting a glimpse of all the people and hearing all the noise, all the people shouting for us. I’d seen Usain Bolt on the warm-up track, and then, as I walked into the stadium, I sort of realised how big it was!

I’ve been telling people that ‘Hamilton’ is very much a glimpse of what it’s like to be inside Lin’s brain.
