Ronaldinho takes great free kicks and has scored a lot of nice goals from free play.
High energy creates more energy, more energy, more energy. It kicks off synapses, I guess. It opens up your brain and you think of one thing after another thing, after another. You can really open yourself up comedically, which is fun.
I’ve written so many songs that are hopeful – songs that are, like, about an old man that gives all his possessions away because he wants to help people. I wrote ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ just to tell a different type of story.
I almost want to ask the judges, ‘If you don’t count leg kicks, if you don’t count body kicks, why not?’ So if you don’t think they’re effective in the scoring criteria, they’re not effective striking, effective grappling, so how about I kick you in the body, I kick you in the leg, and you tell me how that feels?
I’m at the beginning of it. I’m Elektra’s last job before the story kicks off.
I’ll watch a highlight tape of my kicks and I’ll play a song that I like the night before the game and then I’ll sing that song in my head to visually get myself ready and have positive thoughts.
Well, being my type of fighter and my type of guy, you know I throw a lot of barrage of punches, kicks, knees and elbows.
I’m not the type of dude who kicks somebody when they’re down.
I’ve always been a defensive wrestler, but when I go in there in the fights, I get so caught up in trying to knock people’s heads off that wrestling goes out the window when you’re throwing punches and kicks and stuff.
Bare hands grip success better than kid gloves. Be thorough in all things, no matter how small or distasteful! The man who counts his hours and kicks about his salary is a self-elected failure.
I’ve talked to a lot of artists – painters, writers, musicians – many of whom have had great ideas on trains. The only explanation I have is all that stuff is coming at you while you’re relaxed, so somehow it kicks you into hyperspace in terms of brain function.
Nobody wanted to run back kicks until you saw Billy ‘White Shoes” Johnson.
To me, ‘Unforgiven’ is one of the best films ever made. Aside from the fact it takes the genre and kicks it between its legs, it’s this fascinating deconstruction of the myth of the West.
I have to be honest, I don’t pay as much attention to women’s fashion, but being a sneaker head, I do like it when a girl can rock a nice pair of sneakers. Not every girl can do it. Every girl looks good in heels – that’s a given – but not every girl can look good in fresh kicks.
I’ve had loads of kicks over the years, and I’m not really too fussed about them. I get kicked, and I don’t like to roll around or anything. I like to get back up pretty quickly, even if it hurt.
Kicks to the legs, they’re not very cool. They’re brutal.
My style is very laid back. Just wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and kicks.
‘Random Rules’ kicks off ‘American Water,’ and from its opening line – ‘In 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfection’ – you know you’re in for something strange and special.
I find I have to touch what I am working on every day, or a deep-seated dread kicks in that is very hard to overcome.
I don’t like re-writing very much. The fourth and the fifth draft – that’s too much like work. There’s not much inspiration about it, and the lawyerly side kicks in – being very careful and somewhat technical.
I’ve always had rock star envy. Unfortunately, writing is a pedestrian, tame occupation done while sitting in coffee-stained pajamas in front of a computer rather than prowling around a huge stage in sweaty leather pants, so I have to get my kicks vicariously.
When one kicks over a tea table and smashes everything but the sugar bowl, one may as well pick that up and drop it on the bricks, don’t you think?
When I was a wrestler, my job was mostly looking mean and throwing punches and kicks.
Ronaldo can score every type of goal. He can use both feet, his head, take free kicks, finish from close range or outside the box. He has everything.
I hear an album so many times during the course of making it that when I’ve just finished it, I don’t want to hear it again. After you’ve taken a little bit of time away from it, you can come back to it, which can be scary. I’m happy with ‘Sonik Kicks,’ man.
It’s one thing to show your love for someone when everything is going fine and life is smooth. But when the ‘in sickness and in health’ part kicks in and sickness does enter your lives, you’re tested. Your resilience is tested.
I first learned about kicking under pressure in 1996, my rookie year with the Patriots. I was signed as a free agent by a team that already had Matt Bahr, one of the best kickers around. To win the job, I had to show coach Bill Parcells that I could make kicks when they counted. That process started in training camp.
I have no desire to work my adrenal glands any harder than necessary. I like lazing around; it’s pretty important to my well-being. But I also get bored, so that’s when my culture-vulturing kicks in.
Reach, and all that other stuff, doesn’t play as big a part in MMA as it does in boxing. Guys don’t really fight with their length all that much, because they have to worry about the takedown or kicks. They have to worry about so many other things that they can’t just fight real tall.
I never take free kicks because it’s not my job.
Deadpool exploded for the youth around 2010 with ‘Marvel vs. Capcom.’ He was the most popular character. He does kicks, then mocks you as he hits you and dances around you when you hit the ground.
People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them.
Once, I started cheering for the wrong team. I was hot, and I heard ‘Touchdown!’ and I started doing high kicks, and I looked around and nobody else was cheering.
I still get a few dirty looks over the racks in the supermarket, but nobody kicks me in the shins on Water Street. I’ve made sort of a point, apart from being a social dud, not to fraternize with the people I write about.
Obviously, throwing leg kicks in the first round is not smart, but it’s something that I can really utilize in the later rounds to both score points and look to finish the fight.
I’ve danced my whole life. Martial arts is just fun for me, it’s all choreographed a bit like dance. I have done Muay Thai and Wushu, which is cool because it’s very fluid dance. I also do Tricking. It’s kind of like Taekwondo with the big kicks and flips and showier aspects of martial arts.
Kicks are my forte. I’ve got strong legs and high kicks. And I’ve got very good reach, obviously.
The horse stares at its captor, barely remembering the free kicks of youth.
Pulitzers are journalist-oriented, so the publicity machine kicks in for about two days. Then, you go back to normal.
I love doing stuff in a harness. It’s surprising what you can actually do. I’m reasonably coordinated, so I can do flips and the flipping kicks.
As a female there aren’t too many characters that are very empowering, and there’s something very empowering about Lara Croft. She kicks butt and she does it in style. She’s confident and she’s educated.
Beckham takes free kicks better than me. It is a joy to watch him take free kicks and he has proved that free kicks are not all about power.
Low kicks, you need to throw at least 20 to finish the guy, and he has 20 chances to block you, and you can break your leg.
If every American automatically has health coverage, the age at which Medicare kicks in becomes a less fraught issue. We could gradually raise the age of Medicare eligibility a bit, according to income, and save money.
You’ll go down a dark road if you just dwell on every time you screw up. We play a very fickle position. If I make nine kicks out of 10, people are going to talk about the one I missed.
Marketing and press kicks up dust. It gets in your eye, and then you’re not focusing on the product.
I started coming to L.A. as often as I could, for three months on and three months off, because immigration kicks you out after 90 days.
I get highs, to be totally honest, in second-hand shops. My hunting instinct, I expect, really kicks in.
I used to spend hours on the laptop watching free kicks on YouTube – again and again. You obviously learn a thing or two.
I always back myself as a finisher, but I always practise it as well. Every type of finish: left foot, right foot, headers, penalties, free kicks.
I’ve never found kicks to the groin particularly funny, although recent work in the genre of the buddy movie suggests audience research must prove me wrong.
I’ve always been a fan of the Club C sneaker because it’s super clean and timeless. It’s one of those kicks that’s been in the street scene forever – more than 30 years.
I learnt a blend of different martial arts – not in great depth, obviously – but various moves such as kicks, blocks and punches. It was all quite fun.
When a totally offensive tax hits a few million people, Washington is prepared to look the other way. But when everyone is harmed, self preservation kicks in, and Washington gets going.
Once we get into the groove, we’re kind of like long-distance runners – that adrenalin kicks in for me and I just keep running – and I don’t stop!
Penalty kicks are so much about confidence and your mentality going into them. If you go walk up to a kick and you’re not sure where you’re gonna place it, or you’re feeling a little uneasy, that’s when you often miss it.
