We spend to pretend that we’re upper class. And when the dust clears – when bankruptcy hits or a family member bails us out of our stupidity – there’s nothing left over. Nothing for the kids‘ college tuition, no investment to grow our wealth, no rainy-day fund if someone loses her job.

Everyone wants to know why my top lip doesn’t move… I had laser hair removal on my upper lip, oh gosh, 2009, maybe 2008, and I got a third-degree burn. And my face on the right side doesn’t move the way my face on the left side moves. So, that is why.

Rebuilding the Upper Ohio Navigation system will create and retain thousands of good jobs in southwestern PA. This project has widespread, bipartisan support because everyone recognizes the value this infrastructure investment will create.

The best movie theater in the world is in a dingy basement on Manhattan‘s Upper West Side. The worn seats are painful. There are probably bigger screens in half the apartments in the complex above the theater. And forget Fandango; the theater barely has a website. You want to buy a ticket? Get in line.

Evolution is what it is. The upper classes have always died out; it’s one of the most charming things about them.

The secret to gaining the upper hand in a negotiation is to give the other side the illusion of control. Don’t try to force your opponent to admit that you are right. Ask questions, that begin with ‘How?’ or ‘What?’ so your opponent uses mental energy to figure out the answer.

Way before musicians and actors cornered the market on misbehavior, writers were flooding hotel rooms and testing their livers’ upper limits.

Well, I mean, we are developing the other parts, and we can’t give quite all our attention to the upper part, but soon the lower parts will be developed, and the upper part and the lower part will become partners, that will be wonderful.

This CD became something of a personal journey for me. The tone of the whole CD is uplifting and inspirational. It’s an upper. We have enough downers in the world.

If you want to win, when you want to get to the upper echelons of this league, everybody on the roster is going to sacrifice.

Half the time I feel like I’m appealing to the downer freaks out there. We start to play one downer record after another until I begin to get down myself. Give me something from 1960 or something; let me get up again. The music of today is for downer freaks, and I’m an upper.

The underdog often starts the fight, and occasionally the upper dog deserves to win.

Americans should be ashamed of how aflutter they get about Downton Abbey – it’s unpatriotic. I seem to remember we fought a revolution so as not to put up with this nonsense, where notions of station are so unforgiving that upper and lower echelons are practically different species.

Today’s symphonic music is sponsored by the upper structures of society.

It is true that rich people can spend more money than middle class people, but there’s this upper limit on what we can spend. I drive a very nice car, but it’s only one car. I don’t own a thousand, even though I earn a thousand times the median wage. I have a few jackets, not a few thousand.

Development in this county is always going to be an issue. Until development and zoning are handled on a regional basis, rather than each municipality left to its own devices, we will suffer from developers having the upper hand in suits and in front of zoning boards.

Among the upper classes, especially three or four generations ago, men and women had separate bedrooms. That’s just the way it was.

I grew up on the north side of Chicago, in West Rogers Park, an overwhelmingly Jewish neighborhood. When I was 13, my parents moved to Winnetka, Illinois, an upper class, WASPy suburb where Jews – as well as Blacks and Catholics – were unwelcome on many blocks.

My own theory about the phlegmatic qualities and properties of the English is the mountain of pure white sugar hydrocarbons they consume every day bloody day of the year – the stiff upper lip is petrified sugar; that’s Bermuda‘s revenge, the with death, the rotting future square in the teeth of it.

Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man‘s upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground-floor. But if a man hasn’t got plenty of good common sense, the more science he has, the worse for his patient.

In the neighborhood where I grew up, it was a rough neighborhood – well, not rough, but it certainly wasn’t upper class or anything. But I remember hearing things like, ‘The little man just can’t get ahead.’ And if you start to believe that, then you know what? You don’t get ahead.

I think it was a good and necessary thing that the American upper class diversified, and that more African-Americans and Jews and Catholics (like myself) and women now share privileges and powers once reserved for Protestant white men.

I’m not asking for there to be all black writer‘s rooms or all Asian writer’s rooms, or all white – I want them all to be diverse. When it’s diverse, you’re going to have a completely different dynamic. Everybody feels othered. Nobody feels like they’ve got the upper hand.

My father is strong in his legs, and I think I get that from him. I am stronger there than in my upper body, but that is what gives me a low centre of gravity. It makes it harder for opponents to get me off the ball.

What would you have if you didn’t have a murder in a mystery? You’d have something for the lower-level readers. When you get up into the upper levels, there’s nothing that will engage you or compel you or get your emotions churning like a murder. It’s the ultimate stakes.

The trick of Afrobeats is it doesn’t just move your upper body, it moves your hips as well, and I think that’s what people have been missing in popular music for a while. I think that’s what people need around the world.

Upper berth, lower berth, that’s the difference between talent and genius.

I’m a little top heavy, so I have to pay attention to that area. I think it was from my years of swimming in school when I was a kid and it just overdeveloped my upper body. In fact, when I started modeling, my back was so developed, I could not fit into any dresses.

But Buddy was an upper. He was happy. He loved music, and he was really happy. I don’t know… I don’t believe in reincarnation at all, but if all that stuff is true, then he might have been on his last time around.

I think there’s a tendency in England, when you look at the past, to either have upper middle class period drama with its own rules, or if you’re going to look at working class people, you have to do that in a particular ‘Isn’t it a shame, aren’t they oppressed‘ way, or it’s treated comically.

I love my accent, I thought it was useful in Gone In 60 Seconds because the standard villain is upper class or Cockney. My Northern accent would be an odd clash opposite Nic Cage.

W. ‘Poppy‘ Bush, was a former president and his grandfather was the Nazis’ U.S. banker in the 1930s).

I remember, as a kid, nothing struck me funnier than seeing Richard Nixon look into the camera and sincerely tell everyone he didn’t know where the 18 minutes had gone from his tapes.

The lips on my upper right bicep are my girlfriend‘s lips. She has the most amazing lips, and I wanted to carry them around with me everywhere I go, considering I can’t carry her lips physically with me. So I decided to place them in a discreet location, such as the inside part of my bicep.
