Alonzo Church

I think in the case of my father, in terms of the things that influenced me, he never pressed me to go into academics or pressed me to go to a field, and indeed, my behavior was largely to move as far the other direction. I don’t think that’s uncommon with people with very successful parents.

Kevin McCloud

For a clean makeup finish, I use Cle de Peau translucent pressed powder.

Rena Sofer

Rowan Ricardo Phillips

I played a lot of acetates at the end of my vinyl period – I used to make tracks and get them pressed in four or five days – but the quality was always so bad and they would skip all the time.

Iran is a country of 80 million people, educated and dynamic. It sits astride a crucial part of the world. It cannot be sanctioned and pressed down forever. It is the last great civilization to sit outside the global order.

As a fighter, I pay very close attention to the amount of marketing that goes into and around my fights, and I can tell you that you’d be hard pressed to find much that has been done to promote me outside of ‘TUF 24,’ which was minimal in comparison to other fights, fighters, and shows.
