Jackie Chan on learning English with zero formal training: Jackie Chan arrived in the United States barely able to string a sentence together. "First time when I come to United States… I just Hello. My name is Jackie Chan. I really, I don't even know how to order food."... When his assistant left him on his own, he found himself alone and hungry, but too intimidated to walk into a restaurant. So he spent an entire night practising a single order. "Bacon, toast, milk, sandwich." The next morning, jet-lagged and up at 6am, he waited in line, delivered his rehearsed line perfectly: "Milk, toast, bacon, and egg." Then the waitress asked a question he hadn't prepared for: "How would you like your egg?" He was stumped. He'd spent all night learning the words for what he wanted, but nobody warned him there'd be follow-up questions. Beyond food, even basic social interactions were overwhelming. Americans in elevators would casually ask where he was from, make small talk, and he had no idea how to keep up. "Very, very difficult to speak. I went, I came, she, he — difficult, difficult." Jackie never studied English in a classroom. He taught himself entirely through American TV, movies, and songs, learning one lyric and one movie line at a time. "Hello. Oh, hello ladies. Ladies, you are always on my mind."show more

In Taxi Driver, Harvey Keitel became so panicked that he would ask prostitutes how to play a pimp. “I was looking to meet a pimp because I didn’t know what to do about being a pimp.” “I would hang out on 10th Avenue, Ninth Avenue. I walked over to one of the girls and I said, ‘I’m looking for someone to help me to understand what it’s like to be a pimp’ “And she looks at me and goes, ‘No one’s going to talk to you.’ “Then in New York, in the Hell’s Kitchen quarter, I had been walking past pimps and girls of the night, and so I asked this guy to help me.” “He said he was an ex-pimp, but I always thought he was lying.” “We spent two weeks working in the basement of Actors Studio.” “He taught me how to dance with the girl. First I played the girl and he was the guy, and then we switched roles.” “He taught me how to be a pimp.” “At one point he says, ‘Oh, and you love the girl.’ I said: ‘Yeah, but you don’t really love her.’ He said: ‘No, you love her.’

Rosie O'Donnell on Donald Trump, "If you grew up in New York you knew he was an assh*le and a liar from day one" "I am 64 years and spent my whole life here" "I remember when his were repossessed at the runways at LaGuardia Airport "I remember when he was broke" "I remember when he would call up places and pretend to be his own publicist" "He is a conman, he is a narcissist, and he is a psychopath if you ask me"

#SEONGHWA about meeting DPRIAN 😭🩶 ⭐️: Yesterday, I finally had time in my schedule.. actually, more than my schedule permitting it, hyungnim had time in his and he also happened to be in LA, so I went to see him. He said he wanted to show me around his studio and somehow everything just lined up… so I became a successful fan! Yesterday was actually the first time I got to meet him and he greeted me really warmly ㅎㅎ When I arrived to the practice room he was blowing bubbles, like this, to welcome me. So it was very ㅎㅎ very fun and heartwarming. He gave me a tour of the studio and ordered pizza for us to share. While we were eating, I asked him a lot of questions about things I was curious about, like music video behind stories and details about songs of his I love. You know the way we interpret a song differs depending on the listener, but I wanted to hear directly from him what kind of feeling he had when creating those songs. I wanted to hear the real stories from the person who made them, so I asked a lot of those kinds of questions. And it was really fascinating because what I had in mind was actually very similar to what hyungnim had intended. So that was very fascinating. He also told me so many kind and encouraging things… it really motivated me a lot, especially in what I’m doing now. So, ever since I came to the U.S. I was hoping I could meet him and get his autograph. I went all over the place trying to find a CD… but wow, everything was sold out! So eventually I was like, “Ah, it can’t be helped, I’ll just go without one.” I really like keeping physical albums from artists. For books too, e-books are great too, but there’s something special about being able to touch and feel a real book or album, you know? But then, just as we were saying goodbye, hyungnim said he had something for me and handed me the album himself. And then he said that he had left the message section empty on purpose because he was like “I wanted to write something after actually meeting you Seonghwa-ssi and seeing how I felt”. So just before I left, he wrote it down and the words were so beautiful. That really stayed with me. I too, when meeting others, used to write the messages in advance and bring them along, but now I feel like… if I ever get the chance again, I’d also like to write something based on my impression after the meeting and give it to them. There’s something really romantic about that. Also, watching him work (know about his artistic process) up close.. wow, it was just… really, really cool. So yeah I had such a happy, unforgettable time. He said he watched a lot of our performances too, and when he talked about the ones he’s seen, it made me so happy. On stage, he come across as super sexy, right? But when he was speaking, he was so humble and just kind… he just genuinely felt like a hyung. He was incredibly sweet and.. ah, am I like that too? ㅎㅎ I really had a good time. What stage he liked best? He said he’s seen my solo stage. I’m not sure if it was from Towards The Light or this current one (Skin), but he said it was really great to see how deeply I immersed myself in the concept. He also mentioned watching our Coachella stage, and he really enjoyed the sword-drawing part too. He shared a lot of really kind and encouraging words. To be honest, I had worried that my visit might feel like a burden or a hassle for him, but it was the opposite. He was so warm and welcoming, and apparently he was actually really curious about me too and really wanted to talk to me. So it ended up being a truly wonderful day. I came back full of inspiration. Of course, our biggest motivation is always ATINY but this became a new kind of motivation for me, a new inspiration.

🐱Actually Jackie Chan is the very first and only guest to get onto the stage of SVT concert. I'm truly very grateful. Jackie: I know it's their 10th anniversary and it's their first time inviting guests onto the stage. I also want to thank Xiao Wen—we recently filmed a movie together, and he asked if I could come to have some fun. Honestly, at my age now, I prefer singing over dancing, my own songs are simpler to perform, but theirs are tougher with all the dancing. I can only handle the simpler ones. 🐱Has everyone seen The Shadow's Edge? After watching it, you'll definitely think jackie could keep fighting for another 20 years! It's really an honor to have jackie. He came straight to our concert as soon as he landed, and he has a very busy schedule after this. He really came to this stage especially for us. Thank you! ©跑跑 #NEW_HONGKONG #SVT_TOUR_NEW_ #준 #JUN 세븐틴(SEVENTEEN)

“For a long time, I was a guest in our house” Thierry Henry speaks from his soul. He has depth. He’s a man in touch with himself. I recall some years ago, he spoke about how much he wanted to please his father on Steven Bartlett Diary of a CEO podcast. Everything he aimed to achieve was to please the voice that rang in his head, telling him to do it better. His father stood behind him while he built a career, probably saw the good many never saw. As a father, he also mentioned how COVID-19 changed his life. It was the point he chose his family. That was probably why he said at some point, he became a guest in his house. Men become guests in their house. There was a Reminisce Alaga interview I saw. I think it was on ISaidWhatISaidPod. He said there was a point he went into his daughter(s) room and asked when they painted the wall pink. His wife told him it’s been there for two years. He said that was the point he thought it important to rest on the tours and be with his children. At that point, he probably was a guest in his house. Men’s lives are not easy. Footballers especially — elite footballers most especially are like tour musicians. They’re often on the road. You’re playing away games round the country, spending three days or more away from home when you have continental away games. Gabriel Jesus spoke about the same thing in his recent interview with The Players’ Tribune titled “A Letter to My Family and my Arsenal Family”. He said football made him distant but his ACL injury brought him closer. “I wasn’t the husband and father that I needed to be,” he said. When his wife gave birth to his daughter, he said he only held her for one day. Brazil called and he had to go. And he was a guy who grew up without a father. For his child at the time, he was there now but wasn’t there too. “I always promised myself: When I become a father, I will always be there for my kids. “When Helena was born, I was not living up to that. I was there, but I was always distracted, you know? Always catching a flight.” That’s the tough decisions men have to make sometimes. At the point of growth and ascent, life will ask questions, and difficult decisions will need to be made. Hopefully, it will be one that won’t damage the future. The future one is securing.

A tiny white lion cub ran to his mother in the African savanna… but she pushed him away and left him all alone. He cried by himself until I picked him up and brought him to safety. Even with food beside him, he was too sad to eat. Then something unbelievable happened… A Golden Retriever came over, comforted him, and even fed him like he was her own baby.

Can any of my friends from the Boomer Generation answer this for me? Why are the Boomers so offended when ask to see their ID? This bank teller was explaining how she goes through this all the time. They always tell her that they’ve been banking there longer than she’s been alive. Showing an ID is just a simple measure to prevent fraud and theft, yet they yell at her for it. I ask because this happens to me all the time, even on the phone. Back at the pizza shop I would have an elderly man call in an order for food and most of the time he picks it up himself, no problem at all. However he started sending other people to pick it up as well as have other people calling the order. When the person picking up shows me his card which I recognize his name which had his photo on it, I won’t accept it without and ID as well, just a precaution. He then had to come all the way down there just to yell at me because obviously it’s for him and I shouldn’t have hassled him. I tried to explain to him when he calls it in and picks it up I know it’s him. However when others call it in and pick it up, I can’t verify if it’s actually legit or not, what if somebody stole his card and tried to use it. He still had an issue with it and explains that his grandkids should be able to use his card, I tell him that’s not how it works and if he kept giving my staff a hard time I would ban him from the store. I don’t need anybody threatening the workers over something meant to protect him. Should I just have let anybody use his card without verification at the shop? What if somebody did steal his card and spent his money, then he would have been mad at me for letting them do it.

kangmin: i think it was the day before yesterday, or maybe yesterday, i was really having a hard time. but then kaiwen suddenly came up to me. he’s not very fluent in korean, so we talked in english. he asked me, “hyung, are you having a hard time?” and i said, “yeah, i’m really struggling. are you happy?” he said he was. so i asked him, “how can you be so happy?” and he explained that his way of living happily is: “when i’m in my 20s, i want to live like a child; in my 30s, live like i’m 20; and in my 50s, to finally live like an adult.” he said he always wants to live happily. i thought that mindset was so amazing, like, i don’t need to be so down, i should be happy. kaiwen: even though training every day was really tiring… [started spreading his happiness philosophy but it got cut out]

Zendaya says Robert Pattinson wasn't what she expected at all "My first impression of Rob, he was very quiet when I first met him. We were at a friend's house and I was like, hi, nice to meet you. He was very quiet, and I was like, oh he's a mysterious actor" "And then I got to know him and he is just like the goofiest dude, he takes nothing serious, very un-serious man" "He's got such a wonderful filmography, he's done such incredible projects and he really creates these really intense characters" "I was expecting maybe that he was going to be like one of those people 'don't talk to me while we're on set, I'm in my character'" "I didn't know really what to expect, but he is just so lovely and easy going, and really really cool"

.Micky 🐸 says the founder of Visa, Dee Hock, could have been Satoshi Nakamoto if he had been 40 years younger. Micky shares the lessons he learned from Dee: “He was probably 60 years ahead of his time.” “ He taught me so much about how to get people to be the best version of themselves.” “ Even my go-to question on interviews, it's a question he taught me. I give people six words, and I tell them to organize them in a certain order. And the way they walk through that order says a lot about the person.” “His restless mind was alive even in his early 90s. I would have sworn that he could have been Satoshi Nakamoto if he had been 40 years younger. He explained to me the blockchain, and for him, Visa was a failure, because he only got to release the simple version of it, which was payments. He wanted to do a lot more, which looked a lot like what blockchains and smart contracts are today, but he was probably 60 years ahead of his time.”

I was driving home a few days ago and randomly started thinking about Marc and wondering what he was up to. I hadn’t seen him in almost 10 years. He was one of the first pros I ever traveled with because we were both sponsored by Matix. When you’re young, you remember the pros who were genuinely nice to you. Marc was always the coolest. He would disappear for long stretches at a time, but every time I saw him again, it was a big hug. He genuinely wanted to know what I was up to and how life was going. I’ll never forget the time I got to spend with you. Rest easy, my friend.

Tom Cruise admits his entire role in Rain Man only happened because his sister forced him to harass a stranger in a restaurant "We were at a restaurant... and she goes 'There's Dustin Hoffman.' I looked up and there he was with a hat, he was doing Death of a Salesman... and she goes 'You go over and you say hello to him.'" "I don't walk up to people and introduce myself. But she was so pushy... and she literally said, 'Look, if you don't do it, I'm going to just go over and I'm going to tell him who you are.'" "I said excuse me, Mr. Hoffman, I'm sorry. And he looked at me and went, 'Cruise?' And I went, 'Yeah.'" "As I was leaving he said, 'I want to make a movie with you'... and basically he sent me, a year later, he sent Rain Man to me." "He sent Rain Man and the script was not the script... my character was like 57 years old, a real old guy."

Tom Cruise admits his entire role in Rain Man only happened because his sister forced him to harass a stranger in a restaurant "We were at a restaurant... and she goes 'There's Dustin Hoffman.' I looked up and there he was with a hat, he was doing Death of a Salesman... and she goes 'You go over and you say hello to him.'" "I don't walk up to people and introduce myself. But she was so pushy... and she literally said, 'Look, if you don't do it, I'm going to just go over and I'm going to tell him who you are.'" "I said excuse me, Mr. Hoffman, I'm sorry. And he looked at me and went, 'Cruise?' And I went, 'Yeah.'" "As I was leaving he said, 'I want to make a movie with you'... and basically he sent me, a year later, he sent Rain Man to me." "He sent Rain Man and the script was not the script... my character was like 57 years old, a real old guy."

Tucker Carlson: “He was the only person I did this with — I would always say, ‘Hey, let’s meet in my hotel room or have a meal.’ I loved talking to him, and it wasn’t just to catch up on everything going on in the political world; he would always bring it back to God. Every single time, and there’s no one around.” “So he didn’t need to be like, ‘Oh yeah, I really love God!’ I mean, it was just like — it was just us, and he would be talking about [his Christian faith].”

This man was criticized for expecting a “thank you” for a good deed. He always saw the same man walking when he drove to work. He assumed the man was walking because he did not have any other means of transportation. He used his own money and bought the man an electric scooter, the man took the scooter and just silently walked away, no thank you or anything else at all. I don’t think that was too much to ask, a thank you goes a long way, otherwise it makes people look ungrateful. Back in college, I had a classmate that I always saw walking home after class. It didn’t matter whether it was raining or snowing, or hot out. Whenever I drove past him he always looked miserable and I could tell he didn’t like to walk all the time. In class I had asked him where he lived, and I found out it was on my way home so I offered to drop him off because it was really cold out and had snowed about a foot. He agreed and we chatted on the way home, nothing serious just pleasant conversation. I dropped him off and went on my way home. For me this was a one time thing, I only offered because how bad it was snowing. After class the next day, he walked with me and when I got to my car he got in. I didn’t agree or offer him a ride that day but he assumed that since I was ok with giving him a ride the day prior that I would be ok with it this day too. I didn’t say anything about it because at this point I didn’t care really. So the next day came and went, once again he walked with me to the car but that day was different. I wouldn’t be going his way because I had to work after class. So before I got to the car I said “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He looked dumbfounded and said aren’t you taking me home? I said no, I have to get to work. He then asked me how he would get home, and I told him the same way you always have. He then gave me excuses for why I was being a jerk because I was making him walk in the cold. I didn’t argue I just told him I helped him out when I could, but I wasn’t about to go out of my way because he didn’t have a car and besides I didn’t want to be late for work. He didn’t speak to me for the rest of the semester because of it, something tells me I was better off not offering to help in the first place.

This man was always excited about Skyline Chili, he’s heard from co-workers how good it was and always wanted to. On his day he happened to be in the vicinity of one and decided to try it out. Immediately when he walked in, he wasn’t greeted at all, in fact they ignored him. The cashier that begrudgingly took his order seemed forced and was bothered by having to serve him. He felt like they made it a point make him feel unwelcome. He ordered the food for dine in, waited a while for it and saw that they packed it in bags to go, further emphasizing how not welcome he was, determined to get the full experience, he sat and ate. He noticed his food was intentionally watered down and disgusting. He was very underwhelmed by this. He was still so upset about being treated so poorly, he left his food and left the restaurant. Would you have tipped them like he did, after they treated him so poorly?

I remember when #BrooklynBeckham got a gig on the Today show as a TV chef and his recipe was a breakfast sandwich. Something I’ve been making since I was like, 9. That was his big recipe. Sausage, bacon, egg on untoasted bread. As mediocre as he is. How did he get this gig, you may be asking? Well, during lockdown he cooked and began to fancy himself a chef. He used his family name and connections to get spots on TV but you can see how hard the hosts are trying to keep this nightmare afloat. #NicolaPeltz #VictoriaBeckham #DavidBeckham

Arteta on Lewis-Skelly: “I've been tough on him. He had a spectacular season last year when he jumped into the first team. He had some difficult moments after that, but he stayed very humble, very focused, aligned when we wanted to do and I knew he was ready. “He's been showing in training every day the opportunities that he had to play, he's done it and today he really stepped up and I thought he had an incredible performance. Reporter: What was the sort of thinking behind that and why do you think it's taken this long to play him there? Arteta: “Because probably I don't have a clue. Maybe I should have done it earlier, I don't know. But I have to do things when I believe that the player is ready, the team is ready and the opponent is the right one to play with him in that position. “We've done it today, it's the first time, it was a big risk because I knew what was going to happen. If it works, it's great. would have lost the game, what would have happened, how do you play a kid at this age in this scenario in a position he hasn't played all season. I knew that but I had the feeling it was the right game for him.”
