We do recognise the need to move towards the publication of information showing the progress made by pupils from one stage of their education to another.

Somehow knowing that Alzheimer's is coming mocks all one's aspirations - to tell stories to think through certain issues as only a novel can do to be recognised for one's accomplishments and hard work - in a way that old familiar death does not.

It's cool to be recognised by your peers.

I get recognised sometimes and that's really cool. I've tried certain disguises but that doesn't work.

When people recognise me they just kind of go 'Hi how are you ' really kind of cool you know.

I'm not a movie star. People know me but they don't necessarily know what they know me for. I get recognised but it's not like Justin Bieber. It's a nice thing people are cool.

Some argue that now isn't the time to push the green agenda - that all efforts should be on preventing a serious recession. That is a false choice. It fails to recognise that climate change and our carbon reliance is part of problem - high fuel prices and food shortages due to poor crop yields compound today's financial difficulties.

Hollywood needs to recognise all shades of African American beauty.

You'd like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it. The best way people will come to recognise that track and field is a great sport is to see athletes excelling at it. Which is what I intend to do.

Everyone at home is so supportive. People recognise me say how proud they are of me. It's awesome to hear it's amazing to know I can touch so many people in a positive way.
