Let me tell you about being executive producer. It is not a job, it’s a title. Don’t go around asking executive producers what they do because they don’t do anything, alright?
I did it all, singing, the harp, piano. But I was so shy, I’d wake up at six to practice piano because I didn’t want anyone to hear me play. But then I’d do a big show in school where everyone would see me, and that was actually alright.
As much time and effort, emotion, anger, love, joy that you put into another human being, you’re not guaranteed to receive that back. And that’s OK. That’s alright.
The first film where I had a speaking role was ‘The Low Life,’ but I did appear for about three seconds in ‘Straight Talk’ with Dolly Parton and James Woods. I had a line, and it was cut. It was alright: I got my AEU card anyway.
One of the great things to pretend is that you’re not only alright, you’re in great shape. Now to have that come true – I’ve actually gone on stage depressed and that’s worked its magic on me, ’cause if I can convince you that I’m alright, then maybe I can convince me.
Nobody heard records of you playing whatever the melody was on those low strings. It worked out good, you know, about 25 or 26 million records later. I guess it worked out alright.
Thankfully, God blessed me with some legs that move pretty good, and we also get to wear pads, so I should be alright.
Some dudes get stubborn and get characterized as, you know, you getting a couple of dollars, selling a couple records, your flow is alright and the people got you gassed, and then you start putting yourself in a bubble and you don’t want to blend in with the new and what’s going on.
I feel like it’s a really natural part of writing: You lose perspective, and you have to let it go sometimes in order to come back to it and see that it’s pretty alright.
I got alright GCSEs, but I was lost. I didn’t know what to do, whether to continue with education, go to uni, go to art school – then again, I was like, ‘Maybe I should just go and get a job, start early and make money.’
I’m always sort of anticipating life being difficult, but on a basic level, that’s sort of on the surface, on a basic level, I’m optimistic in the sense that I think it’s all going to be alright in the end.
As long as you keep getting born, it’s alright to die some times.
I always wanted to be able to show off like the guitar players do. I think I managed that alright!
Symbolism is alright in ‘fiction,’ but I tell true life stories simply about what happened to people I knew.

Alright, alright, I admit it: my husband is the quiet, kind, accepting parent, and I’m the one who wants so much to be part of our two daughters’ lives than I can’t even let them finish a story without interrupting.
I don’t care much whether people remember me or not. If people remember, well and good. If they don’t remember, it’s alright – I’m dead anyway.
Every time I get a role, I’m surprised. It’s like, ‘Alright, when am I going to stop fooling them?’
I knew that my niece was working nearby with some bank, so my wife rang up the mother and the mother called back to say that shes just called up to say she was alright.
There’s always somebody you can call and go have lunch with and just talk out an idea. And it’s great, because I need that. It’s part of my writing process, to early on sit people down and say, ‘Alright, this film I’m working on…’ and I tell them everything I have.
Death is the last enemy: once we’ve got past that I think everything will be alright.
You know what, Nickelback’s alright.
I think the moment it all changed was when I went to Peterborough. I remember finding out that I was going there on loan, and I was shocked really. That was the big step for me. I thought I was doing alright at Dagenham, but I didn’t even think I was doing that great there.
It is alright to ape Western music, but we have to ask ourselves if that is what we need in our films.
It is tough enough playing the best players in the world, but to have the crowd on your back as well is extra pressure, but I seem to be dealing with it alright.
If you can come to the Olympic Games and leave with a medal then that is alright.
I don’t like telling people where I stand on this, although I’m surprised anybody wonders. I suppose if I say I’m pro-choice, if I make that clear, it let’s the audience off the hook, then they can sort of relax. Okay, it’s alright he’s pro-choice then I can enjoy this.
I enjoy dating. I love first dates. I think they’re incredibly fascinating studies in human psychology. When you sit down across from someone on a first date and things are going alright, you talk objectives. We want to win each other over, so how do you win someone over? You have to put the best foot forward.
One of the great things to pretend is that you’re not only alright, you’re in great shape. Now to have that come true – I’ve actually gone on stage depressed and that’s worked its magic on me, ’cause if I can convince you that I’m alright, then maybe I can convince me.
In a ghost story, usually you’ve got to hang on until daylight, and you’ll be alright. But if daylight’s four months away, then you have a problem.
I’m not even going to lie – when I’m in the studio, I’m not like, ‘Alright, let me make a hit.’ I just try to make good music to the best of my ability.
Sometimes I think that I was forced to withdraw into depression because it was the only rightful protest I could throw in the face of a world that said it was alright for people to come and go as they please, that there were simply no real obligations left.
I think I’m alright as a lyricist, you know? But then what will happen every couple of months or so is that I’ll hear a song I’ve never heard before and feel I’ve gone right back to square one.
I completely put all my time and effort into my kids and once I stepped foot in the ring, that’s who I fight for. And that’s who I work extra hard for when I’m tired, to feed my family and to make sure that they are going to be alright after boxing.
I studied law, I got an alright degree, and then I was going to go and do something called an LPC, which is a Legal Practice Course, which qualifies you as a lawyer. But I didn’t end up doing it, because I went to drama school instead.
Religion works. I know there’s comfort there, a crash pad. It’s something to explain the world and tell you there is something bigger than you, and it is going to be alright in the end. It works because it’s comforting.
Stand up comedy is this thing you get to do, so you have to treat it with respect. You can’t just be like, ‘Alright, I got my hour down, people are coming to see me now. Now, I’m going to lean on the mike stand.’ No, you gotta work even harder now. You got to top what you already did. Because they’ll find someone else.
My small circle is really just my family. They’re really close and dear to my heart and it’s always great to have them watching my games, critiquing my games and making sure I’m alright at all times.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with cosmetic surgery at all. I think it’s great. But I don’t think it’s alright to distort yourself.
I guess guys are intimidated. I’ve never had a guy come up to me and be like, ‘Hi, you alright? Can I buy you a drink?’
Barack Obama doesn’t believe in free enterprise. He’s never going to admit it. For instance, he’s never going to come straight out and say, ‘If you own a business you didn’t build it.’ Alright, maybe he will.
I did it all, singing, the harp, piano. But I was so shy, I’d wake up at six to practice piano because I didn’t want anyone to hear me play. But then I’d do a big show in school where everyone would see me, and that was actually alright.
Sometimes I think that I was forced to withdraw into depression because it was the only rightful protest I could throw in the face of a world that said it was alright for people to come and go as they please, that there were simply no real obligations left.
It’s funny how people who ain’t never been down there can think that America is so fair and that we should be alright. It’s funny that the people who have their foot on our neck are telling us, ‘Get up. What’s wrong with you?’
There’s one thing now that I experience every day when I’m making a film. I get up and think to myself, ‘Am I going to be able to do it today?’ I figure as long as I have that fear, I’ll be alright.
I think Britain would be alright, if only we had a different Government.
Honestly, it’s alright that people are buying more guns. I just care that they are being safe individuals.
My guilty pleasure is just eating really bad food. I cannot help myself, but you’re on the road during the night, and the only thing open is a fast food place, and you’re like ‘Alright. Not my fault. It’s time to eat.’
Dak Prescott, he’s good. He’s alright. He’s OK.
I love David Lynch’s style. Someone once thought I was his son, so I must have been doing an alright job at emulating it.
Much to my surprise, not a moment have I been made to feel, ‘Alright, a woman – probably the prime minister wanted to make a token gesture.’ The ease with which people have taken this thought of a woman minister has been a great strength for me and has made my job far easier.
My time in London was an alright part of my career. There were some good moments and there were some not particularly nice ones.
