I understand.

 

Also "Fantastic" - needs the right intonation.

 

"No, thank you!" - it was brilliant the way the fans turned that one on him at Hammersmith.

 

Defiance and self- assurance -

 

"I don't care who you are, who you think you are or who you think I am, this is what I'm about. This is who I am. You can't touch me when I'm on stage"

 

I suppose "Hit Me Baby One More Tiiiiiiiime!" We have to admit when people hear that song title, they think Britney and then Darius.

 

 

 

 

 

I wish that could be forgotten though he'as half as old again now and it's still there.

The quote which goes with the picture of a very subdued Darius standing apart while everything went crazy around him.

 

"I felt numb. The world has gone mad, I thought. How can we celebrate getting through an audition when the Twin Towers have just collapsed? "

 

 

 

"If you can keep your head etc..." - that's another quote but not from Darius

I think I admire him most when he's managed to stand in a pitching field. And does it with grace, kindness and dignity.

I found that SC one

 

'Simon, with your trousers being so high, you might want to undo them a notch because they might be restricting the blood flow to your head.'

 

 

and "I'm tall and dark. Two out of three isn't bad"

and can sing like a dream a non Darius quote about him that i wont forget - and truly believe in.

New favourite from DR interview

 

"A career is something that happens if you work hard."

 

I think too many people have forgotten that and expect to start at the top.

And absolutely true. You do need talent as well though - in whatever field you are in.

Anyone remember D's quip about Pure and Simple? I know the second part was "complicated".

I can only think of the comment he made to Cyrus.

No, not that one. Someone dissing Darius online said something very similar about the GWTW 'poster' pic of Jill and Darius

Frankly my dear.......

pause........'I don't give a damn'

here are a lot of beds ........and most of them have women in them.

"Incredible." I was tempted to count them when I watched the dcoumentary on TCM.

not wonderful then?

I think Wonderful ! with the proper intonation of course features further up the thread.

It did - it's just that he gets favorite words and uses them for months at a time and then moves on.

With today's article on Darius the survivor, I have to add

 

"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."

And is a good part of the reason I like him. Don't cry about the way blockaded, look around and find another way.
