This TIME, I TOOK it EASIER. I STOOD up before it so as not to CRASH again.

I never STOOD in a public house BAR and ALCOHOLIC drink never TOUCHED my lips.

All I'd EVER wanted to do in my LIFE was WRITE and publish books, and woe to ANYONE who STOOD in my way.

The story of Jackie Robinson is ALSO the story of Branch Rickey. He had MANY reasons for doing what he did, but he STOOD up against his own people.

We've STOOD by who we are and we didn't LISTEN to ANYONE ELSE.

Bobby Darin was one of the FIRST to TAKE black musicians on the road with his band, and there were PLACES that didn't WANT him to play, and he stood up to it.

I was ABSOLUTELY lost in love and LIFE when I did my DRAWINGS. TIME STOOD still.

I don't feel proprietary, but I do feel there is a HUMAN identity to the borough of Hackney that's QUITE PECULIAR. It was always bloody-minded and difficult; it always STOOD up to central government.
