When the amalgam is delivered to your dentist in a special protective box, he has to take extreme caution when handling the stuff: with masks, gloves, gowns, goggles, all needed to protect him from danger. He then drills your teeth and rams the mixture into your cavities, whereupon it becomes miraculously, instantly safe!

Jasper Carrott

Ask a receiver, can we take his gloves off because he's catching the ball too well? Nobody is going to be overly happy about that.

Adam Vinatieri

I think winter wear is communal. You get some gloves and a scarf from a lost-and-found box, wash them, wear them for a while until you lose them. Then somebody else does the same thing.

Adrian Grenier

I am trying to be better than anybody who ever laced up a pair of boxing gloves, and I think that pretty much sums up everything.

Adrien Broner

I don't have kids, a mortgage, or a car. That has let me hold out for the jobs I want to do, and to sit in a cold room in the winter with fingerless gloves, writing.

Alice Lowe

One of the problems trying to play an instrument outside in the cold is your fingers give up on you and you can't wear gloves, even fingerless.

Amy Macdonald

When I was a young boy, growing up in Durham, North Carolina, the women in my family were truly passionate about their clothes; nothing was more beautiful to me than women dressing with the utmost, meticulous attention to accessories, shoes, handbags, hats, coats, dresses and gloves to attend Sunday church services.

Andre Leon Talley

Don't be afraid to get your hands in the dirt. Buy gloves if you are squeamish about it.

Anna Getty

When I was younger, growing up in Pittsburgh, they had a 'Golden Gloves' program through the Boys and Girls Club. In Pittsburgh, New York, Philly, Washington, those areas, I would go and spar at competitions.

Antoine Fuqua

The Ritz in London has an old-fashioned charm, with waiters wearing tails and white gloves. The dining room is exquisite, with immaculate service and ornate details.

Anton du Beke

There's no rule that states you must touch gloves before a fight.

Ariel Helwani

All of my life had been spent in the shadow of apartheid. And when South Africa went through its extraordinary change in 1994, it was like having spent a lifetime in a boxing ring with an opponent and suddenly finding yourself in that boxing ring with nobody else and realising you've to take the gloves off and get out, and reinvent yourself.

Athol Fugard

I went to theater school where there is a lot of holding each other's faces and crying, and a lot of kid gloves.

Betty Gilpin

Kane's gloves get pretty rank. He grabs you for a chokeslam, and you just want to faint.

Big Show

When I see old movies with women in floor-length dressing gowns, or when they're going to the store and they've got a pillbox hat with a net over the eyes and white gloves, I'm offended that I can't go to the store like that.

Blake Lively

I used to soak my mitts in a bucket of water for about two days. Then I'd put a couple of baseballs in the pocket and wrap it up with a rubber band. Today you don't have to do that, because catchers' mitts are more like first baseman's gloves.

Bob Uecker

Once you turn pro and you're making the big money and kids are buying your sneakers and your skates and your gloves and so on, you are a member of that role model club.

Bobby Orr

On my block, I had all these guys coming in and out of jail. When I was 13, I was playing outside my house, and one of those guys came across the street and started cussing me out, wanting to fight me. People knew I trained kickboxing and would put the gloves on with my friends, so that made me a target.

Brian Ortega

I do believe when I put those little gloves on I can hurt anyone.

Callum Smith

Karl Lagerfeld looks very tough because of the glasses, and he has all these rings and the leather gloves, and he's so smart. But he's a very nice person... when he comes into a room or studio, he is going to say hello to each person, and the same when he leaves.

Carine Roitfeld

I don't look at my opponent's eyes in the ring. I watch his gloves so that I can block or avoid his punches.

Carl Froch
