Politicians usually get the blame for dragging their feet on environmental issues. And fair enough. Most of them do just that. But the blame isn’t theirs alone. For politicians afraid of losing votes, a bristling media waiting to transform good green ideas into monsters is a colossal disincentive.

I read a lot of fantasy. I adoredAnne of Green Gables’. But my favourite books as a child were probably Laura Ingalls Wilder‘s ‘Little House’ series, about a pioneer family in the mid-19th-century American west. I often thought of them as I was writing ‘The Last Runaway‘.
Tracy Chevalier

Green Arrow has gone through so many changes; he’s been right-wing, he’s been left-wing, he’s been rich, he’s been poor, he’s been a social justice guy, then when I got him, he was a rich playboy guy. So it was a lot harder to get into a character that has so many personas in the past, and I just looked at his anger.
A lot of the songs start with an image. I was sitting there playing the guitar and I pictured this old, dirty green car, with the window rolled down, in the hot, hot, hot Texas heat, and this beautiful woman I knew when I was a kid sitting behind the wheel, looking out at me.
I like light green, sometimes red is fun to look at, not a fan of yellow, unless it’s in a rainbow or on a coffee mug or on a happy face.

I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.

I didn’t know the Green Lantern comics at all. I was a Superman reader.

I look at the world through a green lens now, but you can’t make yourself crazy. That feeling of green guilt can be really inhibiting. It’s about a changing mind-set, remembering to turn off the water when you are brushing your teeth.
Wheresoever thou findest a high mountain or a lofty hill and a green tree, know that an idol is there!
Akiva ben Joseph

Sigmar Polke
I’m extremely proud of being Latin; it’s a big part of my life. It’s not something I outwardly promote, just like I don’t outwardly promote that I have green eyes and blonde hair. It’s a part of who I am. I love the richness of the culture I grew up within.

The thing about a plant is, let’s say it will have 50 or 100 little points of bright red. If you look at the thing as it goes down, it becomes green in a way… It is way more spectacular than pointillist paintings where these things are played with, but never to the level of what happens in nature.
Robert Irwin
My favorite artists always documented emotion. Marvin Gaye and Al Green and Sade and Aaliyah.
One of the most magical places on Earth is a small island in the Caribbean called Mustique. With brilliant beaches, warm water, and lush vegetation, this tiny green swath of land is my idea of paradise.

I’d say, for my freshman year in college, I was doing everything in my power to hide the fact that I had ever had any association with the Paul Green School of Rock Music because it was like this bruise. It was such a sore subject.
Madi Diaz
Seth Green, he and I are trying to figure out how this all came about. Because we don’t remember what came first, the chicken or the egg, no pun intended. But I don’t remember what came first, ‘Robot Chicken’ or our friendship, because we’ve known each other for so long.
Vice is its own reward. It is virtue which, if it is to be marketed with consumer appeal, must carry Green Shield stamps.
I hope that I dress for my age. Because there’s no need to be dowdy, is there? But I don’t go with all the colours that everybody is wearing. I’m not very fond of lime green or orange, so I don’t do that. I read all the fashion magazines, but most things are totally unsuitable for somebody of 79.
I produce some of my music videos on a $200 budget. But

I produce some of my music videos on a $200 budget. But I produce most of my videos on zero budget. I have a studio in my apartment – which is actually just a green screen I have tacked on my wall and some lamps to light everything.
I learned one thing from jumping motorcycles that was of great value on the golf course, the putting green especially: Whatever you do, don’t come up short.
You could argue that if the average golfer plays a golf course with 430-yard par 4s and they always miss the green, that’s good practice. It’s definitely great practice to play a course that’s too long for you.
Amy Alcott
I’m an eight-year Green Beret, Ranger, sniper.
My copy of ‘Night’ is dog-eared. The pages are filled with plastic coloredflags‘ that are blue, green, purple, and yellow. Vocabulary is in the margins; phrases and sentences are underlined, some with pencil, and some with pen. Many words are circled.

You spend so much time writing a character the way I did with Buddy Baker and then Green Arrow that you start to care about them. And you almost think of them as people, you know?

I’m getting so old, I don’t even buy green bananas anymore.
Chi Chi Rodriguez
I love golf. But do you know how I got good at golf? Because of Charles Barkley. I was playing with Charles, Michael Jordan and Roy Green, and Charles was talking so much trash. On every shot, he was talking trash. So I left the tournament, and I went and practiced for a year and half.
No matter who you are, black, white, green, there’s going to be things in your way, you know what I mean?

The first band I was ever in, I played guitar. We did Gary Glitter and Green Day covers at the time. We were called Fizz. I have no idea why we picked that. We were, like, 12 years old.

Torquato Tasso
I’m not focused on radio or whether I’m going to get all the audiences… all I wanted were great songs that were universal to any listener – Black, White, Green, Yellow; any kind a age difference.
Ledisi
I made the big turnaround in the early Nineties when I started hearing all the tenth generation punk bands like Green Day and Offspring and all those people. It just made me fall in love with punk again and remember my roots, and since that time I’ve always wanted to do more of that kind of music again.
The gracious, eternal God permits the spirit to green and bloom and to bring forth the most marvelous fruit, surpassing anything a tongue can express and a heart conceive.
U.S. adversaries exploit power gaps. It’s easier for Russia to invade Ukraine with irregular forces out of uniform, the so-called ‘little green men,’ than to send a conventional army that would challenge NATO.

Hollywood is the place to be for actors - and there's j

Hollywood is the place to be for actors – and there’s just a big rush when an Australian comes over just because there’s less of them. I guess that’s just how it is. Like if you pick a pink jellybean out of a jar of green ones it’d be amazing, but if you pick a green one, no one will care.
I think every business should build on their strengths, and the strengths of Victoria are our clean, green agriculture; the strengths of Victoria are our strong education system.
I listen to Nine Inch Nails, Green Day, U2, and it becomes part of me, comes out in my music. Wherever it goes, there will always be the fabric of New Orleans in it.
Really, the proper study of economics is fulfilment, not consumption… It doesn’t even matter if it’s a green product or a green house… It’s still consumption. What matters in this world is the fulfilment of people’s needs and the fulfilment of their aspirations.
I’m asked all the time if there could be a Bernie Sanders collaboration, and my answer to that has always been yes. The Green Party has long sought to establish a collaboration with Bernie Sanders.
I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don’t ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.
In the future, it’s going to move from being just a data transport to really becoming a media experience platform. The Internet will be more about media, more about collaboration, much more virtualized and much more green.
I blend my green drink every morning. I also fix my son a full-on American breakfast with bacon and toast.

It’s much easier to make a Superman or Batman film than a Green Lantern film.
Martin Campbell
Defensive backs are the best players on the field. But when you get an exceptional player like a Deion Sanders or a Darrell Green – these guys are fast and they have very good technique. You have to work a little harder.
I embrace a Green New Deal; I just think we have to have public-private partnerships if we’re going to get there. We have to align the environmental incentives with the financial incentives.
If there ever was an ‘America’s team,’ it would be itty-bitty, little Green Bay, stuck way up there somewhere, owned by the salt-of-the-Earth citizens themselves.
Maybe I should drive a hybrid. I do have a shirt that says, ‘Go Green.’

Saffron Aldridge
‘Al Green Explores Your Mind’ is really kind of a very personal record for me.
The U.S. immigration system is the most generous in the world, providing each year more green cards for legal permanent residence with a clear path to full citizenship than all the rest of the nations of the world combined.
Schwarzenegger is big, he’s noisy, he’s larger than life, and he’s earned the credibility to be cast for the role of America’s Green superhero.
The ocean is 90% unexplored. It’s a great canvas to paint Aquaman stories across, just like Green Lantern has space. It’s more organic, which makes it different and interesting. It’s alien, but it’s terrestrial.
Barack Obama has raised tons of money. That is what he means by being green.
Evan Sayet

Because I’m a synesthete I see characters in colors and I perceive a W as green.
Robert Cailliau
It had rained on some vivid green ferns in Maine and it was quite beautiful. I was moving the camera slightly and studying the ground glass. Looking at those 20 square inches, trying to find out just what were the right elements to include.
In a way, Captain America is the most grounded of the main Marvel superheroes. He is basically just a man, only more so. He doesn’t fly across the sky like Iron Man. He isn’t from another world like Thor. He doesn’t turn into a green monster.
I’m so old, I don’t buy green bananas any more.
I definitely associate music with color. For example, my first record has a red cover but it is totally green and blue to me.
Kaki King
I always figure I have this tree and there’s always some green fruit that’s not ready to pick or blossoms that are ready to flower; there are always some ready to drop off too.
Graeme Murphy
I remember being shocked when I came out from under the focusing cloth after a minute or two being submerged within that, at the startling green color of those ferns.
I had this idea for a while to do mix this Al Green vib

I had this idea for a while to do mix this Al Green vibe with a samba thing. I tried to do that in many different ways. Peter added his own modern notion of funk and his own deep background in classical music.
Arto Lindsay
I didn’t really watch action films growing up! I grew up on stuff like ‘Anne of Green Gables’ – that was more when I was in elementary school. It was all I ever watched.
Phoenix is an interesting example. Drive around and see the golf courses everywhere, and you see people’s big green lawns. And you live in a desert! I’ve always remarked about the capacity of human beings to look at somewhere and move there because of its uniqueness and its beauty and then change it.
Now in its third year in office, the Obama Administration has never championed the cause of human rights. Its slow reaction in June 2009 to the stealing of the election in Iran and the birth of the ‘Green Movement’ there, and its delay in backing the rebellions in Egypt, Libya, and Syria, are evidence of this problem.
I’ve actually usually been wary of taking on science fiction as an actor because it’s really tough to do. It’s really difficult to execute. There’s often lots of prosthetics, green screen and special effects, and it can get very technical.
Grant Bowler
So many heroes are driven by destiny. Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, they were all chosen and born to heroism. Even with Batman, it doesn’t feel like Bruce could do anything else. His whole life was leading him to become the Dark Knight.
Andrew Kreisberg
The Green Lanterns are very forward and very courageous, very forceful. The Red Lanterns are out of control, and they’re not in their right mind because when we’re angry or in rage, we say things and we do things we wouldn’t normally do.
I can only tell you that eggs, country ham, biscuits, a pot of coffee, a morning paper, a table by the window overlooking the veranda and putting green, listening to the idle chitchat of competitors, authors, wits and philosophers, hasn’t exactly been a torturous way to begin each day at the Masters all these years.
Green vegetables are something that fascinate chefs; the ability to keep vegetables green. How do we keep them green? What makes them green? Why are they green? And then that sort of army green. Why do they go from bright vibrant electric green to army green, and how can we avoid that?
Critics who have said a safer shot here or there would undoubtedly have won me a few more tournaments are probably correct. Going for the green in two was who I was as a boy – and it’s who I remain as a man.
I wanted to do the whole album in black and white, and it really killed me that when you see it in the light it’s got green in it. I don’t know what the hell that was about.
It’s true that I’ve driven through a number of red lights on occasion, but on the other hand, I’ve stopped at a lot of green ones but never gotten credit for it.
An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight… the truly wise person is colorblind.
Green screen’s not my favourite thing to do.
Capitalism knows only one color: that color is green; all else is necessarily subservient to it, hence, race, gender and ethnicity cannot be considered within it.
There are all sorts of cries that the leaders of the Green Movement should submit themselves to the supreme leader, but that won’t take place. Both sides have to be prepared for a serious negotiation.
My eyes are green, and in one of them there is a splash of brown – apparently it is not a colour, but a freckle! Sometimes I notice that one eyelid droops more than the other.
I was four or five, and my mom got all the Power Rangers to come through. I thought it was really them. I started crying tears of joy. It was so amazing. My favorite Power Ranger was the green one. He wasn’t in every episode – he was rare, like Based God. He was like the Based God Power Ranger.
Domo Genesis
Apple has made this commitment that it’s a green company. So how do you fulfill your commitment if you don’t consider you have responsibility in your supplierspollution?
Green policy is about triggering a shift to a cleaner way of doing things. To be effective, it needs to incentivise the right behaviour, for example through tax breaks, and that needs to be paid for by disincentives on polluting behaviour.
Instead of the cashier and ticket-ripper of the movie theater, the block chain consists of thousands of computers that can process digital tickets, money, and many other fiduciary objects in digital form. Think of thousands of robots wearing green eye shades, all checking each other’s accounting.
Nick Szabo
I’m practical, very data-driven, and process-oriented. If I look at a radar and see a giant green blob coming toward me, I’m thinking it’s probably going to snow.
Kevin Jorgeson
The green revolution has an entirely different meaning to most people in the affluent nations of the privileged world than to those in the developing nations of the forgotten world.
I do everything: I’ll have a green juice, then a melted chocolate ice cream. I stay up very late, I get up very early.
I have a glass of alkaline water first thing. I don’t have the biggest appetite in the morning, which is kind of tough for me, but I always start with a green drink called Tonic Alchemy. It’s a really amazing combination drink that has a lot of different superfoods and algae and Chinese herbs.
I love Soul, R+B, Electronic, and good pop. Really, the only thing I don’t listen to is country and heavy metal. I love Marvin Gaye, John Legend, Al Green, Fat Freddys Drop, Sade, Grace Jones, Bazoo Bijou, Prince, John Lennon, London Grammar, Daft Punk, Dr John, Dusty Springfield, Peggy Lee, Gotye, and on it goes.
Ethiopia has a robust response, designing development policies with a view to mitigating the impact of climate change. I am proud to say that in the fifth edition of the Global Green Economy Index released in September 2016, Ethiopia is ranked 14 globally in terms of climate change performance.
I argued that until FBI director James Comey gives a green light to new visas, and not until we completely reform the vetting process for new foreign visitors, that the borders should be sealed.
I actually never knew Peter Green but I do respect his early work very much.
Ken Hensley
In Los Angeles, I drive a hybrid and live in a very simple home. Anything you do from carrying a canteen of water to starting a recycling program in your office makes a difference. Reusing what you already have has always been green – from clothes to boxes to glass jars from the supermarket.
I am obsessed with Green Tidings deodorant – it’s this natural deodorant.
Green politics at its worst amounts to a sort of Zen fa

Green politics at its worst amounts to a sort of Zen fascism; less extreme, it denounces growth and seeks to stop the world so that we can all get off.
Chris Patten
I’m looking forward to partnering with TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners. This transaction is a clear endorsement of J. Crew and the hard work and dedication of all of our associates.
When the Nobel Peace Prize Committee designated me the recipient of the 1970 award for my contribution to the ‘green revolution,’ they were in effect, I believe, selecting an individual to symbolize the vital role of agriculture and food production in a world that is hungry, both for bread and for peace.
The first book I really loved was ‘Little Women’ – I’d have given anything for Beth to have been allowed to live; I remember crying very much over her death, trying to make the words change just by staring at them. I loved ‘Anne of Green Gables,’ too; ‘What Katy Did;’ and ‘Peter Pan.’
A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him, ‘At my age, I don’t even buy green bananas.’
Claude Pepper
When I was eight, nine years of age, my mother bought me a pair of green trousers – corduroy green trousers. I didn’t like green, and I basically buried them underground. And my mother kept asking me, ‘Where are your trousers?’ I said, ‘Oh, I don’t know.’ And from then on I stopped wearing green.
As I see it, a green salad is an open invitation to carrots, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and the sprouts that grow in jars on my kitchen counter.
There’s nothing on this green earth that a liberal progressive fears more than a black American who wants a better life and a smaller government.
I like the color green, and the WBC belt is green, so I can’t wait to get that belt.
There’s a green room at the Oscars. It’s really small, very warm, and it’s really fun because you get to see everyone just lounging on couches. It’s right before you go out to present, so it’s everyone in there. And then they have this crudite section, and cheeses and crackers.
I eat lots of vegetables and green juices.
Batman is pretty much a self-trained guy. I think it would be fun to do a character like Superman or Captain Marvel or maybe Green Lantern, somebody who’s got a completely different resource for fighting crime and fighting villains.
The only good thing about going to the fights is you can go into the green room and you can see some of your old friends that you haven’t seen in a long time.
Robert Goulet
Reforms to product and labour markets, education, innovation, green growth, competition, taxes, health – they are the things that should be the object of our primary focus in the context of a long-term strategy to restore sustained growth.
The green appeal of solar sailingtraveling by light, once chemical propellants have done their dirty job of orbital insertion – ought to be powerful.
I am Amaxon Corazon Junia Principia Delgado the Third, and I bent over my meal and wept luxurious tears into my green banana porridge. It was a perfect decoction, and it now would not satisfy me.
Nalo Hopkinson
I came to believe the green fuse that drives spring and summer through the world is essentially a literary energy. That the world was more than a place. Life was more than an event. It was all one thing – and that thing was story.
In order to lead a country or a company, you’ve got to get everybody on the same page and you’ve got to be able to have a vision of where you’re going. America can’t have a vision of health care for everybody, green economy, regulations – can’t have a bunch of piece-meal activities. It’s got to have a vision.
When I walked to school in the mornings I would start out alone but would pick up four other boys along the way. We would set out together after school across the village green.
Most people think if you are vegan you eat just green stuff, you just eat salad and lettuce and veggies the whole day… I’m eating beans, legumes, lentils and peas and rice and potatoes and a lot of things that have calories to give me the energy to do what I do.

‘The Green Lantern’ seems a little calculated to me. It’s like, ‘We’ve got to get on this gay bandwagon and make this character gay.’ Like anything else, there’s earnest expressions in the culture and then there’s kind of bandwagoning.
We use many expressions of fennel: blended with potato, it’s an earthy, rich puree; the raw fronds add a fresh, green note; and the braised version gives it a luscious, home-cooked feel, something people can connect to – you need that in any dish.
The sincerity of the art worker must permeate the song as naturally as the green leaves break through the dead branches in springtime.
Alma Gluck
If it can be profitable to be green, that’s just smart business.
Barry Sternlicht
The pigeon here is a beautiful bird, of a delicate bronze colour, tinged with pink about the neck, and the wings marked with green and purple.
William John Wills
I used to drink tons of caffeine. Now I make smoothies with frozen berries and Green Vibrance health powder.
My dad’s idea of punishment was to dress me up in all green to disguise me as grass, and then throw me in the pasture. Cows bit me all over.
Bryan Callen
I got to live out my 11-year-old fantasies – I got to go on stage with Green Day. Billie Joe called my name from the stage. ‘Dookie’ was the first album I ever bought. I covered the whole of ‘Nimrod’ and he’d heard it. That was like the 11-year-old girl dreamed.
Green synthetic practice mats are the worst thing for your golf game that I know of. You can hit six inches behind the ball and not even know it, because the ball still gets airborne. Practice nets are awful, too. Swing a weighted club instead.
We must learn to set our emotions aside and embrace what science tells us. GMOs and nuclear power are two of the most effective and most important green technologies we have. If – after looking at the data – you aren’t in favour of using them responsibly, you aren’t an environmentalist.
I’ve been known to high-five, and I have a soft spot for Green Day.
I grew up in a household in which they'd always play ol

I grew up in a household in which they’d always play old skool classic R&B love songs – Al Green, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye… And my mom has even said that, when I was in her womb, she‘d put the headphones to her stomach and play those songs to me!
Replacing traditional sources of energy completely with renewable energy is going to be a challenging task. However, by adding renewable energy to the grid and gradually increasing its contribution, we can realistically expect a future that is powered completely by green energy.
Many people still believe that ‘green’ solutions are too expensive, but they are actually much cheaper when all of the costs to public health, social services, and waste handling are factored into the same equation.
John Green was on the set of ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ the entire time, which is amazing! Wouldn’t you want John Green on set the entire time?
I like green or brown eyes. Tall but not overwhelmingly so. I like men who do yoga and meditate.
People say to me ‘You’re a big Hollywood star’, and I find it so funny. I still feel as though I’m the girl from Golders Green. I lead such a boring, normal life. I still go shopping in Sainsbury’s. If the ability to do that was taken away from me, I’d go barmy. You lose your freedom. Be careful what you wish for.
We can heal our planet, use cleaner and more efficient sources of energy while creating green jobs.
I’m not afraid to call a wine that tastes like Skittles or green peppers mixed with orange marmalade. I’ll say, ‘It tastes like chicken.’ I mean, that’s not what people think of when they think of wine, but that’s what it tastes like to me and it hits home.
Strangely enough, I wasn’t into fast guitarists. I preferred Peter Green’s subtle touch. I saw him with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers at the Marquee Club in London and was very impressed. He was the only guitarist I’ve ever seen to turn the volume control on his guitar down during a solo.
I had been playing beach volleyball all day, painted my nails red, and threw on a green dress. I thought I looked great at the time, but looking back, I realize that my debut into Monaco society should have been better executed!
Charlene, Princess of Monaco
On the practice green, I hit a lot of four-footers with my right hand only. But whatever grip I’m using, you can bet I’m feeling good about it. Otherwise, I’d change. That’s how I avoid slumps.
Louis Oosthuizen
I love wearing green, and I like grey and black, but I don’t think they really suit me.
The question of whether it’s God’s green earth is not at center stage, except in the sense that if so, one is reminded with some regularity that He may be dying.
Edward Hoagland
If you’re old and you lose, they say you’re outmoded. If you’re young and you lose, they say you’re green. So don’t lose.
Terry Brennan
A country that cannot feed itself cannot have self-pride, and in the mid-’60s 20 percent of all the wheat produced in America came into India. We were agriculturally a basket case. And 15 years later, 20 years later, we have become an agricultural power. This is the famous Green Revolution.
Jairam Ramesh
The jargon of sculptors is beyond me. I do not know precisely why I admire a green granite female, apparently pregnant monster with one eye going around a square corner.
You could cover the whole earth with asphalt, but sooner or later green grass would break through.
Ilya Ehrenburg
And there is a beautiful thing which is wonderful, to look like a woman, not a green bean.
Laetitia Casta
I performed in public for the first time at three years old. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was on a big stage. There were probably three or four hundred people in the audience. We were doing this dance, this Kermit the Frog routine, all of us in our little green leotards.
I sense very little appetite for green efforts to persuade people to accept a frozen or declining standard of living for the sake of the environment. Recessions remind us that economic retreat or stagnation is painful, whatever the goal.
Matt Ridley
I supplement a lot. So I’ll take a probiotic, and I mostly eat green food.
I’m not a green like most Democrats would be. I have a blue-collar district.
Broccoli gets such a bad rap. This is perplexing to those of us who love that green, treelike, stalky vegetable.
Green is my favorite. And it’s my favorite because it’s the color of my wife‘s eyes, grass, trees, life, and money, and mother earth!
Casper Van Dien
A lot of sequins for New Year‘s! Red, green, white – I fail at all of that because I’m always in black. But for Christmas, I do love wearing cute dresses with tights and a pair of boots.
I love a cardboard coffin. Both Mummy and Daddy went off in cardboard coffins, painted – Daddy’s was rifle green. Beautifully made.
I got busy with planting saplings after I started the Green Globe initiative.
I don’t have a problem with green screen at all. I think children invented CGI. We invent worlds. A stick can become a sword. Or a bowl of stones can become a bowl of tomatoes. That’s what children do, and that’s what CGI enables us to do.
When you have a Green Lantern mixing with a foil like Batman, you get scenes that are comic-book history. There’s the epicness of it all.
I was so grateful to have made ‘Into the Wild’ before I made ‘Speed Racer’ because on ‘Speed Racer’ I was indoors every single day, every single scene, on a green screen. Some of the time, just to pass the time, I would think back to climbing mountains in Alaska. That really helped me.
If you compare it to ‘Batman’ and ‘Superman,’ the world of ‘Green Lantern’ is way bigger and potentially way more interesting in a lot of ways, I think.
Martin Campbell

The government is a very large constructor. They have schools, colleges, hospitals and courts, offices. We are trying to influence the public works department to adopt green buildings.
I have this wonderful personal chef who sources and stocks all my organic produce and I basically live on five smoothies a day. I’m totally vegan. I blend this green concoction with kale, cucumber, broccoli, string beans, avocado. My protein comes from protein powder. There is absolutely no milk, butter, cheese.
‘Make your plate look like a Christmas tree,’ I tell people, ‘mostly green with splashes of other bright colors.’
I have six brothers and sisters. We all look totally different: blonde hair, curly hair, green eyes, dark eyes, dark skin, light skin. It’s just how it is.
As an Irish person, there’s a historical fascination with America: America is the default green and promised land for Irish people and Italians; that’s what we grow up with.
The low point for neon came in 1982, when Holiday Inn did away with its signature ‘Great Sign,’ replacing the neon extravaganza with a forgettable green plastic box.
A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.
I’ve seen ‘Fried Green Tomatoes’ too many times. I love life stories told in flashback.
Liam James
I’m really proud of all the stuff we’ve built with Green Lantern – from Larfleeze to the different corps. The universe has expanded and will live well past my run. It was more than just telling another story, but really giving back to the character by expanding and adding to their mythology.
We will progressively make our gas greener so that by 2050 it can be 100 percent green.
Isabelle Kocher
There are methods to creating a mayhem that sounds different from your usual mayhem. Because mayhem and a heavy drum backbeat end up sounding like Green Day or something. But if you put a different beat within it to create some air and lightness, the chaos comes through better.
My mom makes something called green pie, which I thought was a delicacy that many people only had at Thanksgiving, but it turns out it was just Jell-O with whipped cream on it. And it’s delicious.
I’m a Canadian citizen, but I do have a green card.
I was asked to do a reading of ‘G.B.F.’ and I loved the script. I thought it was one of the most amazing things I’d read, but it took a year to get a green light for production.
‘Green Garden’ is about beauty and joy and lush green and dance and excitement and smiling from within.
I think being an archer is much more integral to Green Arrow and his mythos than it is to Hawkeye.
‘Green’ issues at last are attracting serious attention, owing to critically important links between the environment and the economy, health, and our security.
Do not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power.
Out in the lonely woods the jasmine burns Its fragrant lamps, and turns Into a royal court with green festoons The banks of dark lagoons.
Henry Timrod
The Green Arrow stuff that I’ve responded to from the past is the Mike Grell stuff. I’ve liked a lot of other stuff, but I think for me, the direction and the mood and the tone that I really want is something much darker and more aggressive and really fast-paced action.
I’m actually not a big coffee fan, so I don’t drink it that much. I’d rather have a green tea. But I do love to get a white mocha sometimes – it is just a strong order.
Emeraude Toubia
We’ve all heard of the surveys revealing that teenagers think cows lay eggs, and others where children can identify more brand logos than trees, by a staggering margin. My view is that children will form a significant part of the green fightback. They instinctively understand the value of the environment.
Green technologies – going green – is bigger than the Internet. It could be the biggest economic opportunity of the 21st century.
John Doerr
At first, my bedroom had flowers and yellow walls and huge furniture in plastic that was orange and green – and furry green bed cover and everything. Then, I think the day I turned 13, I painted the walls black and put Kurt Cobain on the wall and just changed everything into a dark theme.
There is talk about the need for a second Green Revolution. However, such a revolution is nowhere in sight.
We were in Japan once where they had 30 kinds of green tea. I thought there was one.
The long and short of it is that I am now in a position in England to green light movies, and that’s really excellent – not high-budget movies, but movies none the less.
Nearly all edible seaweeds – or ‘sea vegetables,’ as they ought technically to be called – belong to one of three broad groups: green, red and brown algae.
I take almost no notes when I write. I have one notebook – this old green leather notebook that my dad gave me a decade ago.
The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green.
I have a great time cooking and eating Thai green chicken curry.
Anyone who sees and paints a sky green and fields blue

Anyone who sees and paints a sky green and fields blue ought to be sterilized.
Adolf Hitler
There is a new wave of environmental consumers I like to call Pocketbook Environmentalists. They’re going green primarily because it makes good financial sense, but the fact that it benefits their families‘ health and the environment also makes them feel good.
We need to invest dramatically in green energy, making solar panels so cheap that everybody wants them. Nobody wanted to buy a computer in 1950, but once they got cheap, everyone bought them.
I’ve always been a rocker. Like ever since I was really young. I had a crush on the Green Day guys. That’s always been what I was like and been my interest.
I’m trying to be as green as I can. As an airline pilot, I have a carbon footprint that’s a size 10, so it’s pretty hard.
I have olive skin, so if I get pale, I look green. I have to tan.
I don’t want to brag, but I do more homework on the course than any other announcer. I chart the greens to get all the breaks. I walk down into the greenside bunkers. I walk into the fairway bunkers to see whether a player can reach the green from them.
My parents traveled a lot, so my grandparents practically raised me. My grandmother and I really bonded in the kitchen. She’s this amazing southern cook, and I would always help her – whether it was cracking eggs or stirring the green beans. It takes me back there.
Many African smallholder farmers did not share in the ‘green revolution’ productivity gains driven by modern seeds and techniques, irrigation, and greater fertilizer use in Asia and Latin America in the 1960s.
I’ve always been multi-cultural myself. I’m not black and I’m not white and I’m not pink and I’m not green. Eartha Kitt has no color, and that is how barriers are broken.
My favourite Korean food is delicious black five-layered pork belly, cooked over a charcoal grill. And Jeju chocolate, in citrus fruits and green tea flavour, which is famous throughout Korea.
I have a green juice in the morning – a big one – with kale, spinach, celery, cucumber, two lemons and lots of ginger.
The touring comic is a lonely soul, sometimes dabbling into conversation with a colleague in the green room, but on the whole, we just stand around and try to cope with the random diversity that comes with the ‘job.’
If I hold up a red square for 30 seconds and take it away, you will see a perfect green square. It’s how the eye works. So if you want to paint a really good red painting, you have to strategically place in some green, so the eye is brought back.
Robert Irwin
Green how I want you green. Green wind. Green branches.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Nicholas Sparks and John Green are very different writers.
Everybody who I ever cared about has told me that they like my music: Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Al Green, The Spinners, Smokey Robinson. Everybody that matters.
Like many other banks and finance companies, Green Tree used a process called securitization to resell its home loans to outside investors. Green Tree grouped thousands of these small loans into a pool worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Green business is not about tie-dyed T-shirts. It’s about transforming the industrial system itself into one that looks at all the connections.
March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month. Don’t feel bad if you did not know that. I didn’t, either, until someone recently slapped a picture of a green ribbon and a message wishing me a ‘Happy CP Awareness Month’ on my Facebook page. I always thought March was Women’s History Month.
They say it’s better to bury your sadness in a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring to wake from its sleep and burst into green.
I’m homosexual… How and why are idle questions. It’s a little like wanting to know why my eyes are green.
Jean Genet
The fact that women are very young in obtaining their civil rights and African-Americans are young in obtaining their civil rights, I think it’s about time that we extend that to all Americans, whether straight, gay, purple, green, black, brown.
I was twenty-seven when I began to write seriously, and after two years of rejections, my first book, ‘The One in the Middle is the Green Kangaroo,’ was accepted for publication.
Green jobs – those are jobs that feel like new economy jobs; they do require some training.
By August 2008, we had left Voikovskaya and moved into a wooden dacha in the artists’ colony of Sokol in north-west Moscow. The house was a haven amid the madness of the city: lily of the valley grew near our front gate, Virginia creeper decked the green picket fence.
Voting third-party in 2016 meant choosing The Green Party’s Jill Stein, the Libertarian Party’s Gary Johnson, or Independent Candidate Evan McMullion.
I could take my grandma and put her in a cape, and they’ll put her on a green screen, and they’ll have stunt doubles come in and do all the action. Anybody can do it. They’re relying on stunt doubles and green screen and $200 million budgets – it’s all CGI created. To me, it’s not authentic.
I’m thrilled to be taking over Green Arrow. What I adore about the Arrow is his recklessness. He’ll shoot off on an impulse, dispatch someone if they deserve it; his heroism is instinctive.
I usually have a few coins in my pocket when I’m playing, but the one I use to mark my ball on the green is a special silver coin that my wife designed for me. It has our wedding date inscribed on it.
Louis Oosthuizen
What I love about the term ‘salad’ is that it can appear in so many different forms and says a lot about the cook. It could be a simple as fresh green lettuces tossed with a basic vinaigrette, or it could be as hearty as a couscous salad with grilled shrimp.
The thing about Green Lantern rings is they pick whoeve

The thing about Green Lantern rings is they pick whoever has potential to overcome great fear.
The tree I had in the garden as a child, my beech tree, I used to climb up there and spend hours. I took my homework up there, my books, I went up there if I was sad, and it just felt very good to be up there among the green leaves and the birds and the sky.
I might be a pretty earthy, crunchy girl, yes. There might be some crystals and Buddhas in my house. I may meditate and eat all green and compost… Yoga is a very regular part of my life.
Hearing Radney Foster was big for me, like hearing Al Green or R.E.M. for the first time.
Clearly, Simon Baz brings such a different viewpoint to ‘Green Lantern.’ The very nature of the corps concept of overcoming fear, I felt Simon was a great character to explore, while getting a different viewpoint on things.
After this interview, I’m going to immigration to try to sort out my Green Card, just like any other normal person.
The attempts to command the climate and decide about the temperature on our planet are wrong and arrogant. I wrote a book about it which was published in English under the title ‘Blue Planet in Green Shackles.’
You’ll know the green revolution has been won when the word ‘green’ disappears.
Neodymium is one of 17 ‘rare-earth metals,’ and these elements have turned out to be critical to the rapidly-growing green technology industries.
I prepare my style of biriyani by sauting sliced onion, tomato, green chilli, ginger garlic and add required water and rice. If I end up adding a tad too much of salt, I used to add curd to balance it.
We’re doing a partial green nursery and trying as hard as we can to do as much organic stuff for our nursery as we can.
Greenville, S.C., in the 1970s is a rolling green dream in my memory now.
When you live in Manchester and it’s raining every day, you’ve got to imagine the sun sometimes. When you’re brought up in concrete, you aim for the green leaves. And when you get to the green leaves, you yearn again for concrete.
She was green when green wasn’t in. From sea to shining sea, Lady Bird Johnson has left her legacy in a more beautiful America. From millions of trees and wildflowers planted, to interstates free from billboards and replaced with green.
The Green Lantern is a unique superhero because it’s not that he’s super that is his focus; it’s that he’s a man. He’s very human. That’s his greatest strength and his greatest weakness.
It doesn’t bother me to work with so much green screen. I prefer real settings obviously.
Joe Flanigan
I travel pretty frequently, but a few things that are routine are going for a run, getting my green tea in the morning, and checking email… well, all the time!
I like to carry a concealer palette that has a green, a yellow, and a tan color. I like to carry the green one because when I have a pimple, it’s good to use that to contrast the red. Then you put the yellow over it, and it helps it disappear.
Francia Raisa
My husband and I are building a ‘green’ house in Santa Ynez Valley. We bought 15 acres and we’re going to build a house that’s green from the ground up.
I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.
I always wanted to be in a band with a bunch of dudes who loved Green Day and all that.
Ashton Irwin
‘The Green Turtle’ wasn’t all that popular. He lasted only five issues of Blazing Comics before disappearing into obscurity.
The Kitchen, which my wife and I opened with our friend and amazing chef Hugo Matheson, was quickly recognized as the pioneer in ‘green’ restaurants across the country.
Aficionados of Slow design and Slow fashion use ethical and green materials to make objects – furniture, clothes, jewellery – that lift the spirit and last a lifetime rather than one catwalk season.
I go for crunchy things – I like green beans, broccoli, asparagus, celery and carrots. I’m not a fruit eater, though.
Rico Rodriguez
I grew up loving Etta James and Aretha Franklin and Al Green and Otis Redding, and I just love old-school R&B. It’s just music that moves you and grooves you, and it was very important, I think, for music.
In ’87, I was about 9 years old, and so at that point I was wearing, like, fluorescent green T-shirts and acid-wash jeans and leg warmers, and my hair was in a ponytail with a scrunchie and I had the teased bangs that were up in a rainbow shape. It was crazy.
I buy five of the same shirts. I literally have six blue shirts. Now I have six green shirts.
When I review my contract, it is to make sure that I am not going to get in trouble or not paid. Then afterward, people say, ‘Did you make sure they gave you a green room,’ and I’m like, ‘No, I didn’t get any of the cool stuff.’
I recently have gotten into juicing as an in-between-meals snack. I think the more vegetable ingredients the better, especially if they are green. I find that a good juice can really curb my appetite when I need to wait for the next meal.
Noureen DeWulf
Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.
Pedro Calderon de la Barca
My dad is an engineer and works on green energy, so I'm

My dad is an engineer and works on green energy, so I’m very aware of what it takes to keep a modern home running and how we can simplify.
‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’ is a great classic by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, I sure love that song. I did like the classic version, a rock-oriented song, then someone heard me do it with the Grant Green approach – Grant Green and Larry Young did it, with a bossa nova beat on the funky side.
Salzburg… is a mountain town with a rushing river running right through the center, everything in the rain various shades of green and brown.
I think any opportunity you have to be green, whether it’s in business or in everyday life, you should take it.
I get this anxiety in cities and places like that. When you grow up in kind of a small town and when you grow up around a lot of green and trees and nature and that sort of thing, sometimes I think it’s a little mentally disconcerting to be around this concrete.
Most of the energy consumed is for heating, cooling, and transport. By massively deploying green gas, we could decarbonize all that.
Isabelle Kocher
If you give an actor a green screen, the shot may work, but that green screen will not inspire you on the set as a director or as an actor.
I took the name Green Destiny from – well there is such a sword called Green Destiny. It is green because you keep twisting it, it’s an ancient skill, you keep twisting it and knocking it and twisting it until it is very elastic and light.
I’m excited. I’m nervous. I’m having a girl! Baby weaves and green lipstick, here we come!
Right now my mind is on the people who stole our instruments, and, specifically, the person with my guitar, which will no doubt end its days having Green Day songs worked out on it. A better fate was deserved – and while the reverence given to guitars annoys me, I shall miss it.
A great way to get all the right nutrients is to make a colorful plate – mix of good vegetables, carbohydrates, and protein. If you notice all your vegetables are green, change it up and add another color for a variety of benefits in one meal.
I like coffee in the morning and decaf green tea throughout the day… When I was younger and modeling, to kick-start a diet I would do a juice cleanse.
Age becomes reality when you hear someone refer to that attractive young woman standing next to the woman in the green dress, and you find that you’re the one in the green dress.
Lois Wyse
A man sits in his car at the traffic lights, waiting for them to go green.
Michael Frayn
I love chicken and anything to do with chicken. I love anything that’s homemade. Oh, and BBQ. And I love green beans. There is so much good food. I can go on and on and on.
There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay and I never want to finish second again.
The sea was our main entertainment. When company came, we set them before it on rugs, with thermoses and sandwiches and colored umbrellas, as if the water – blue, green, gray, navy or silver as it might be – were enough to watch.
I went to art school in Chicago for a year at Columbia College. I had this whole master plan of getting into sustainable development and green architecture and construction, so I wanted to go to business school and then get my masters in construction and development.
Nico Tortorella
It really annoys me when the light turns green, and you’re behind somebody, and they’re just sitting there looking at the light for about 15, 20 seconds.
Mostly this problem is contained in the fact that the US makes it so difficult for Canadians to get green cards (you heard it here), but if an American orchestra really wants a player, they have their ways.
I grew up in such a macho family. I had a former Green Beret for a dad, a mom who’s really rough-and-tumble, and three very macho brothers.
When you’re out here grinding away, firing at some flags, firing at the middle of the green, you just got to be very patient, and I always do a pretty good job of that in the majors.
There doesn’t seem to be any other way of creating the next green revolution without GMOs.
I write on a computer. On breaks, I’ll make myself green tea. I don’t want something too caffeinated. I guess I don’t believe in chemical enhancement of my writing. Just slight, but nothing crazy.
I love music. I love filmmaking. I love law enforcement. I love doing a lot of the green work that I do, the charity work that I do, and I don’t think that any one person has to be just one thing.
There are always challenges to green screen.
I married him for a green card. We had a really great, caring relationship; it just obviously wasn’t right for me.
I spent hours as a kid on the putting green of the local golf course imagining I was sinking a putt to win the Masters.
Mike Weir
Most people don’t know that the biggest regret that I have – and it’s a biggie – is not fighting harder for policy and very practical measures to support the development of the green jobs industry.
My favorite book is ‘Go Away Big Green Monster.’ I wrote it for my granddaughter Adrian, who was in the third grade at the time.
Ed Emberley
Blue and green eyes will be so common that dark brown will become the rare and newly desired eye color.
We should make it as easy as possible to be able to get

We should make it as easy as possible to be able to get a legal work visa – not citizenship, not a green card. Just a work visa, with a background check and a Social Security card so that applicable taxes would get paid.
I felt New York was a big, more stylish, more metropolitan Golders Green. I was thrilled.
Everything has yet to be invented. I never say ‘green’ – I say ‘greener.’ It’s greener simply because this is a continuum of change, improvement and discovery.
It’s of very little importance to me that I was born gay. It doesn’t make me a better athlete, it doesn’t make me a stronger person, it doesn’t really do anything to enhance my life. It’s just something I was born with, the same as green eyes.
We don’t need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables – the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers – to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences.
Jane Elliot
Throughout the day, I’ll make a lot of green smoothies or salads, and then when I travel, I try my hardest to just keep up the regime. It’s not always easy, but I do my best.
Valentina Zelyaeva
My favorite color is jungle green. At least, that’s what it said on the side of my favorite crayon in first grade. I don’t know if it’s an official color.
My head coach in Minnesota, Dennis Green, loved wideouts with plenty of size.
At the Summer Solstice, all is green and growing, potential coming into being, the miracle of manifestation painted large on the canvas of awareness. At the Winter Solstice, the wind is cold, trees are bare and all lies in stillness beneath blankets of snow.
On ‘Into The Wild’ I spent months risking my life and on ‘Speed Racer’ I spent 60 days acting in front of a green screen. No danger to my physical self, but I sure had to use my imagination.
You buy any book on color theory today, and it’s just complete poppycock. Everybody comes out of school painting pink, purple and green. The whole damn cartoon industry has pink purple and green on their mind.
The concept of ‘green jobs’ or a ‘green economy’ is often attacked as the work of the Grimm Brothers by those wedded to the grim science of free-market economics.
‘Green’ is likely to be a big issue in the 2008 U.S. presidential electionlargely in response to George Bush’s suicidal refusal to engage with environmental issues.
Michel Gondry’s ‘Green Hornet’ was another franchise flick that felt like it came out of left field – I thought in a good way, but most audiences disagreed.
What child has ever known the country and has not twined hundreds of fragrant wreaths with the yellow shining cowslip and the more frail and delicate violet – mingling here and there green leaves culled from the odorous eglantine, or, as we more commonly call it, sweetbriar.
When I wrote ‘Green, Green,’ it was like a really a statement of where I was at philosophically in my life.
Green Eggs and Ham was the story of my life. I wouldn’t eat a thing when I was a kid, but Dr. Seuss inspired me to try cauliflower!
Nest really came out of a process where I was trying to design the most connected and the most green home that I knew of. I was curious of just about everything that goes into a home and building a home.
In essence the Renaissance was simply the green end of one of civilization‘s hardest winters.
John Fowles
Ay – ‘The Green Fool‘ business, the libel action over the head of it – did me a lot of damage. It destroyed the momentum.
From space, the earth appears predominantly blue; the clouds are brilliant white. Surprisingly, you don’t see much green, although Ireland looks green, and so do Scandinavia and New Zealand. The deserts are brick red and really stand out.
I have been 130 lbs. as well as 215 lbs. I have had blond, strawberry blond, green, pink and purple hair, and none of that has ever exempted me from having lewd comments flung at me in the street.
I don’t think much about my physical body going off into the long, green fairways of Heaven to play golf.
A lot of people at the highest level, I never listened to. It was hard for me to listen to a whole lot of stuff. It didn’t get there for me. Al Green, who’s maybe my favorite male singer – to me, Al Green sounds like a saxophone player.
Jaimoe
I read all of the books by Tolkien, including ‘The Hobbit,’ when I was in my twenties, and his deep love of nature and all things green resonates deeply with me.
The true – the true economy has got to come back into balance with the very biosphere that sustains us. And I think a lot of people just see the green economy as a different way of allowing the corporate agenda to continue to flourish.
I created lots of characters in high school and college, and the first character I created in pro comics was Liana, Green Lantern of M’Elu, for a backup story in ‘Green Lantern #162,’ my first professional sale.
I normally don’t love green juices, but Body & Eden makes theirs tasty by blending ingredients like avocado and banana with the usual suspects like kale and spinach. Delicious as they are, they’re low calorie, and the drink names are catchy: I Have Balance, I Have Energy, and my favorite, I Have Calm.
The big issues, the things that scar Scotland – the least of them is whether we should have a border at Gretna Green or not.
I don’t eat green things, no vegetables.
Preet Bharara
Bochy is my guy. He raised me in the game; I was 20-years-old and as green as any grapes as you’ve ever seen on a vine. He took care of me, taught me how to be a professional, and taught me how to get my work done.
There are a lot of times where, filming 'It Follows,' I

There are a lot of times where, filming ‘It Follows,’ I’m fighting against a guy dressed in a green suit for special effects, and I’m just like, ‘No. There’s no way this is going to be pulled off.’
Jake Green isn’t just Jake Green. Jake represents all of us. The colour green is the central column of the spectrum and the name Jake has all sorts of numerical values. All things come back to him within the film’s world of cons and games.
The reality of the Green party is that we are a party committed to bringing forward big ideas, new ideas and demonstrating by our conduct in parliament and through the election that we really want to work for Canadians, work across party lines, work across jurisdictions.
I went to see John Mayall at the Marquee, with Peter Green on guitar, and that was a particularly good gig.
I have raised beds, perennial beds, cut flower beds. I have an island on a pond that’s just covered in peonies. I have an herb garden, tons of vegetables, raspberries. I have everything. I’m a green guy.
For me, green is more about cycling than recycling.

Are you green and growing or ripe and rotting?
Ray Kroc
I took three years of karate because of Bruce Lee, you know. I was a green belt.
I suppose I’m a cultural Anglican, and I see evensong in a country church through much the same eyes as I see a village cricket match on the village green. I have a certain love for it.
Different races never fazed me because coming from Bethnal Green, I’d been around people of different races forever. Different class? That was much harder.
Working on a green screen set, yeah, it’s almost like reading from a novel, taking those black words and creating a world around you.
Caterina Scorsone
A bland smile is like a green light at an intersection, it feels good when you get one, but you forget it the moment you’re past it.
In terms of environmental impact, Samasource jobs are very green. Our product is human intelligence, and it’s transported through the Internet rather than via carbon-intensive trucking, shipping, and warehousing.
The world tells lots of people the light is red. You have to trust yourself and say, ‘I think the light is green, and I’m going to keep doing this.’
Images sometimes capture particular periods in history. The unreachable green light, beckoning from across the bay in ‘The Great Gatsby,’ has become a symbol of the yearning of America in the 1920s.
The fight against global warming is a humanitarian issue – how the planet can be preserved – and it is also an issue of considerable economic importance, of what we call green growth.
There is something about being in a remote town where anything other than green fields, trees and Saturday football club is very exciting and thrilling.
Talking nice about sun and wind and green jobs is just greenwash.
Each solstice is a domain of experience unto itself. At the Summer Solstice, all is green and growing, potential coming into being, the miracle of manifestation painted large on the canvas of awareness. At the Winter Solstice, the wind is cold, trees are bare and all lies in stillness beneath blankets of snow.
Green Day was more of the influence than Blink.
Deryck Whibley
My passport‘s green.
On some level, acting is the art of pretend, and you have to have a highly cultivated sense of imagination. You have to be able to see things that aren’t there, no matter what aspect of acting, whether it’s green screen, whether it’s on stage, whether it’s anything else, whether you’re working on the radio.
If there is a future, it will be Green.
Petra Kelly
When I look at green trees on a sunny day, I don’t know how to make an interesting picture of that.
For me, in green and gold, it must be everything or nothing.
I ate some pretty funky, authentic Chinese food in Hong Kong. There was an egg from some bird that’s not a chicken. I can’t remember what it was, but it was green and brown and not very tasty.
I’m in the Apple store on Regent Street far too much; I’m obsessed by whatever the latest Apple gadget is. For clothes, I love to shop in Liam Gallagher’s shop Pretty Green on Carnaby Street, or Cult Clothing in Crouch End, for Original Penguin and G-Star.
As long as you’re green, you’re growing. As soon as you’re ripe, you start to rot.
Ray Kroc
Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it’s a green light.
On our first record, man, I didn’t know what I was doing. I was just playing. I was over playing. You’re as green as you can be with no experience in recording or knowing how sometimes a song can work: when it’s too much, when it’s not enough, when it’s not right.
As an older child, I was a huge 'Anne Of Green Gables'

As an older child, I was a huge ‘Anne Of Green Gables’ fan.
I try to eat whatever I want. I don’t like putting myself on a diet, but I try to eat organic, healthy, and lean with lots of green vegetables.
I had never been to a fashion show before going to the Burberry show last month. It was an extraordinary spectacle. I was incredibly green and had no idea what an undertaking it is. I also have a new respect for models because they are so close to the front row and must be so self-conscious.
He could not die when trees were green, for he loved the time too well.
John Clare
I never said I was opposed to the LEED program or to green building – I’m not.
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
Bill Vaughan
What would surprise a lot of people about me… I’m a gardener! I have a green thumb. I really like to get into the shrubs, the bushes, and really cultivate.
Jeffrey Donovan
‘Call Me’ is not an exceptional Al Green album, but it is as solid as a rock at its center.
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.
When I’m playing bad, I need to just hit the green.
My favorite meal is I’ll make like a three-bean soup and I freeze half of it. But I’m also a big fan of meat alternatives, so I can still have my chicken and mashed potatoes and green beans, but I just have the chicken from a plant-based thing.
I think there’s a difference between somebody who grows up in Paris or London and goes to Los Angeles. But if you grow up in the green fields, and you rarely go into the city, you’re so overprotected that when you do go to L.A., it’s almost a bigger slap in the head.
What the Internet was for the 1990s, green jobs are for the 2000s.
When you’re doing a film that has so many effects, you do a lot of it on green screen, and you can’t see what that world is.
I thought: ‘It would be great to create a series of clothes that looked like that tree.’ Clothes that gave you the green of the leaf and the warm brown of the underside of that leaf and the vanilla colored blossom.
You’ve seen how they make movies like Star Wars and stuff. They’re never really there. They’re in front of a green screen just pretending to be jumping around.
Rider Strong
Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
After one hundred days of confinement following a bone marrow transplant, I rejoiced in taking short walks to a nearby park as I was writing ‘Girl in Hyacinth Blue.’ The uncertainty of my survival made every blade of grass gorgeous in its green intensity, lifting itself up, doing its part to make the world beautiful.
It’s not a matter of if economies around the world becoming low-carbon, but when and how: through struggle and strife or through advancement and progressive leadership. Larry Elliot described it today as the ‘Green New Deal.’ It’s a leadership we in Britain can provide, and from which our economy can benefit.
I just need green. I need to wake up and see grass and squirrels. I don’t want to see skyscrapers.
Anna Katherine Green wrote about a female inquiry agent, and there were a scattering of female investigators in the 1970s, authored by men, who just didn’t ring true. So I thought, ‘Well, there’s an opening here for something.’
Marcia Muller
I tried putting teabags under my eyes because they say that the green tea – the caffeine – will help with under-eye bags and moisture. It worked! That’s a new tip.
I drink many cups of green tea, 12 oranges in a day and lots of salmon. They are all food with anti-oxidants.
My musical director, Mark Cherry, is the most wonderful person who ever lived on God’s good green Earth. He’s my director, he does the arrangements. Really, he does everything – including certain janitorial chores!
Brett Somers
My house really is purple and yellow and hot pink and light green and orange.
Lisa Frank
I think ‘Green Lantern’ has the potential to be a very highly regarded superhero movie. We’re approaching it with such respect and such care.

Jacqueline McKenzie
Our country needs power for its economic growth, and clean, green power is the best option.
You look at Kawhi Leonard, Tony Allen, Draymond Green: they are great on ball, and they are great team defenders as well. You want to be both of them, not just one.
You go see ‘Timothy Green,’ and tell me if it doesn’t rock your world. I loved it. I loved every frame of it.
I grew up listening to pop music with my dad in the car, and we’d just listen to Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Earth Wind & Fire, KC and the Sunshine Band – all that good stuff. So to see it snaking its way back around again is really exciting, and I love listening to the radio.
As a director, you’ve got to have quite a few projects going because you never know which one will actually come together with the financing and get the green light.

Lack of time and money create really bad green practices.
In 2008, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for work done on a molecule called green fluorescent protein that was isolated from the bioluminescent chemistry of a jellyfish, and it’s been equated to the invention of the microscope in terms of the impact that it has had on cell biology and genetic engineering.
The idea of Seth Rogen as the Green Hornet so inflaming the fanboy community is amusing, since that group’s 20/50 vision also had it tsking its disapproval about Michael Keaton as Batman and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man.
India has been developing its green energy resources.
I also played in the 1967 Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.
Jim Otto
I remember myself, age five, sitting on a porch overlooking a very muddy road. The day was rainy. I was wearing rubber boots, yellow – no, not yellow, green – and for all I know, I’m still there.
I think back to Michael Tarver, who would sit down with me in FCW when I was super green and didn’t know what I was doing. He helped me understand how to carry myself and connect with people in the ring.
When it comes to football, I’m more of a traditional guy. I love going to Green Bay.
I don’t spend money on the lavish life, but I spend on excessive green juices.
If you take blue paint and yellow paint and you mix them, you get green paint. But if you take blue light and yellow light and mix them, you get white light. This is a shock to most people.
When Bruce Lee gets his cameo in ‘The Green Hornet’ – as one of the drawings in Kato’s notebook – it clarifies what the film is: an unrealized sketch. A sketch can afford to allude to a point of view. Moviemakers need to show their point of view, something this shrug of a movie never gets around to doing.
I was just 18 years old, excited about being drafted to the N.B.A. I felt like all of Houston was watching me. My high school was watching me. I think they had a draft party at my coach’s house. I’ll never forget that day, being in the green room with my family and my agent.
Rashard Lewis
It’s good for me to pull away from something that is just done for effect, which was basically Sue White in ‘Green Wing.’ In that, it was very much: if in trouble, gurn, or fall down. There was no character background to Sue. You didn’t know who she was. She didn’t have any toehold in any kind of reality.
Michelle Gomez
Green, red, and mixed shades of haemins are known. If magnesium is replaced by iron in chlorophyll, green haemins are obtained. Their colour is due to a strong band in the red which is already recognized in chlorophyll.
Otto Heinrich Warburg
I’d rather support the issues I truly believe in than give my vote to parties that court votes at the time of the election. I like to think that my vote strengthens the green foundation stone.
We must invest in affordable housing, quality education, safe parks and green space, good paying jobs, comprehensive mental health and trauma services, and other supports that will help all of our people.
My father played guitar, so I always wanted to play for that reason. But I think the biggest reason was just the ’90s in general – growing up listening to the Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day and bands like that, and going to concerts and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world.
When I was growing up, Green Day had just come out.
Deryck Whibley
My dream artists to collaborate with are probably Cee Lo Green and Imogen Heap. They’re completely out of my genre but they’re both musical geniuses.
Kina Grannis
So I have the green smoothie every day for breakfast, and then sometimes even for lunch too, and then I have a normal dinner.
I do not like the red carpet; I prefer the green pitch.
I love 'Anne of Green Gables.' I have for years. That's

I love ‘Anne of Green Gables.’ I have for years. That’s one of my favourite things. She’s such a can-do kind of girl; that’s why I’m crazy about her.
I guess I’m crazy. If everything was easy-peasy and green lights all the time, it’d be kind of boring.
‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ is the best movie for a guy like me. A cerebral adventure. A moving story. A bunch of little green men.
The word ‘indie‘ is meaningless now. It’s so over-used that people think it simply means green hair.
I was obsessed with the Canadian novel ‘Anne of Green Gables’. I decided I was Anne of Green Gables. There was something that spoke to me about her, and I wanted to have her beautiful red hair.
I see myself as no color. I can play the role of a man. I can paint my face white if I want to and play the role of white. I can play a green, I can be a purple. I think I have that kind of frame and that kind of attitude where I can play an animal.
Judy couldn’t move to Britain for family reasons, so I had to come to the States, and the U.S. government wouldn’t give me a Green Card, so I airily told her I’d write a book.
Bernard Cornwell
Children go with whatever makes them feel good – like if that’s the color green or orange, they do that with their clothes. As I’ve grown older, everything reversed. My music, my personalityonstage those things became my colors.
Designs are increasingly winning competitions because they are literally green, and because somewhere they feature a small windmill.
I never liked apples. In fact, when I was a little girl, my mom wanted to give me apples in my lunch box and I would ask for green peppers. So bizarre… It’s funny – I don’t have an apple a day, but I can say that I have a few a week.
Unfortunately, ‘climate’ has become a dirty word – obviously in politics, but even to some degree in my world, in venture capital. People hesitate if they see something that’s purported to be green. That’s not a reason to invest for many people.
I like my women very green; you know, eco-friendly.
I feel really strongly about immigration because my mom is… from Jamaica. She still has a green card here.
Green darners never attack people, but they have been seen bringing down hummingbirds. They are the Bengal tigers of the microworld.
My stepmother Angela is an Italian from New York City. I based Rhoda on her and a Jewish friend named Penny Ann Green. People often said that Rhoda seemed to be Italian. That was the Angela seeping through.
When I heard ‘Dookie’ by Green Day for the first time, it unlocked something in me, like, it’s totally okay that I’m a little bit weird because these guys are a little bit weird. It made me want to pick up an instrument and do that.
If you have some potatoes, green beans and cauliflower, you have a heck of a dish that can feed an entire family.
I do worry about population growth and the preservation of the green belt space but I don’t think these are insurmountable problems.
I’m a big fan of skilled singers. Some of my favorites are Cee-Lo Green, Donny Hathaway, James Fauntleroy, and Kim Burrell.
Seinabo Sey
I suppose I’m a cultural Anglican, and I see evensong in a country church through much the same eyes as I see a village cricket match on the village green. I have a certain love for it.
