I like Marco Rubio. But I don’t know about as a vice-presidential candidate. He’s a nice guy, and that role requires kicking the crap out of your opponents.
A lot of people gave up on us, but we kept kicking and making music.
To tell you the truth, I believe everything – tigers, trees, stones – are sentient in one way or another. You’d never catch me idly kicking a stone, for example.
All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.
Taekwondo, those are some major kickers right there. That’s what they bring. That’s all they do is the kicks. They don’t have the punching and the ground but it’s more of a kicking art than anything.
I suffer during games. We follow the action, kicking every ball, wondering if our centre-backs can stop the cross… In some ways, you enjoy it, but your heart is always thumping.
I’m not sure. But that bless-his/her-heart kind of melancholic humor is among my favorite things in the world. I guess it exposes a kind of humanity – or that’s the hope, at least – a kind of grudging respect for human frailty. Unless it’s actually kicking human frailty while it’s down – I’m not sure.
Everything that moved, I was kicking it. You can ask my mum and dad. A stone, a can, whatever.
I’m against exclusion of any kind – whether that’s restricting people from Muslim-majority nations from entering the U.S. or kicking merchants off our platform if they’re operating within the law.
My school was pretty tough, and I played football there so I would be accepted, to save myself a kicking.
I’ve gotten my butt kicked by the best. Jet Li beat me up the best, but Steven Segal can still kick a good butt. It’s a different kind of kicking, though.
If my boyfriend was kicking me out of our house, I wouldn’t leave peacefully and leave a note. I would have trashed the place. It would have been a lot more traumatic.
I have had acupuncture regularly, and I engage in visualization, which is actually an actor’s tool, visualizing myself kicking out the cancer, making up scenarios.
I’m still kicking in doors to keep on going.
I brought my personality and sense of wonder and I think they wrote as much of my personality as they could. I do not go around kicking butt and saving the universe all the time but they tried to capture me as best as they could in the character.
Kicking is like a love-hate relationship. When it’s going good it’s really good. When it’s bad, it’s really tough. You just have to find the fine line between not getting too high or too low.
I wake up most days with a vague feeling of doom – ‘Dear God. Here I am again.’ Then, when I read about politicians in the newspaper, the vengefulness starts. By mid-morning, the anxiety is kicking in.
I don’t think it works to just be mad at them – Maxine Waters out ranting and kicking down the doors. It would be so easy to dismiss you and marginalize you.
Fuseproject was founded in 1999, and the notion behind it, which is alive and kicking today, is fusing different disciplines. Our teams are absolutely incredible at their own discipline, but most importantly, they’re incredible at partnering with each other.
It’s really fun at night, because I can see the baby kicking. I can feel the knee or the foot. The baby is starting to get heavy, and it’s a really incredible feeling. I’m so grateful I get to experience this.
I was a disappointment to my parents before I drew my first breath. After five boys, they had been praying for a girl and were convinced their prayers would be answered. So when Dad rang the hospital from a public phone and heard about my arrival, he started kicking and punching the kiosk.
I would love to play a superhero. I wish I could be in ‘The Avengers,’ kicking butt.
When I was growing up, I used to watch ‘Power Rangers’ and ‘Ninja Turtles.’ It seemed like every movie had someone doing martial arts in it, so I would go around punching and kicking trees.
In rugby union, I was out wide kicking stones with the pretty boys.
Voters are tired of us kicking the can down the road, because they know it’s going to land in a pothole.
I live in L.A. and love L.A., and you couldn’t drag me out of there kicking and screaming.
Ashlee Simpson kicking her dressing room door after getting caught lip-synching – that was interesting to watch.
I have a massive head of hair: it’s a Jew ‘fro. It’s living and kicking.
Dear disgruntled artists: the key to success isn’t kicking down the door; it’s building your own.
My family is trying to drag me kicking and screaming into the normal world. Please, I live in hotel rooms.
My son is a Liverpool fan, and he was already kicking a ball before he was one. He was born in the football city; he had no choice.
Film is built for kinetic movement and crash and burn. It’s a great tool for spectacles. But if it’s not rooted to something a little higher, you’re just kicking your butt around the corner. You can only take so much of that. You have to have some sort of foundation to explode from.
At the time, we thought it was a nice way to say something unique about the group to make us different from all the other bands kicking around in London.
One of the nice things about the world of filmmaking is that you make friends in the business. Sometimes directors feel a script needs something, but they’re not sure what it is, so they show it to a friend; if the friend is a writer, he ends up kicking around with that script for a while.
What we’re seeing now is that greed is still alive and kicking, and banks are bigger than ever.
We weren’t dirt poor, but there was no spare money kicking around. While it was very much understood that the way to a better life was through education, books were a luxury we couldn’t afford. But when I was six, we actually moved opposite the central library, and that became my home from home.
When we were kicking around the idea for Netflix in 1997, proving out an idea was expensive and labor-intensive. There was no Squarespace, no cloud. If you wanted a website, you had to build it from scratch. If you wanted an online store, you had to completely design it yourself.
What you’ve got to realise is that footballers, and me in particular, have seen everything in the changing room. Everything. I’ve seen the manager kicking off with the players, the players kicking off with him, players fighting each other, managers fighting, everything.
If I thought I had hurt my chances of winning another major just because I was chasing money around, I’d wind up kicking myself.
At the back end of my career I’d put myself in the situations you see in changing rooms. Where there is conflict, arguments, fights, players refusing this and that, players kicking off.
The vast diversity of looks from the 80s are why we mustn’t ignore it completely, there is plenty to build a modern and relevant wardrobe around, and I am enthusiastically kicking my leg warmers in the air in its defence.
I sort of went into the TV thing kicking and screaming.
I was training in an old garage – just a roof. And when its snowed, it would cover the floor, so I would have to clear this first. I didn’t have a punch bag. There was no place to buy it, so I managed to get a speed ball, but it didn’t have the swivel mechanism, so I just nailed it to the ceiling and started kicking.
Right now I am kicking around an idea to do a web talk show on a boat. Guests would come on and go fishing with me. I would like to take people who have never fished: You get them out on the water and they really open up.
Sometimes you have to work through some things, and the mental side of kicking is definitely there.
It is always a bit hypocritical when a defender who spends the whole game kicking you complains of being kicked.
There’s not a sport or activity in life where you have a really hard grip, you actually do better. Whether it’s baseball or golf or kicking a ball, the looser you are, the further the thing goes… If you’re tight, you’re not necessarily better.
I got the idea for ‘Throne of Glass’ when I was sixteen. Music always inspires my books, and when I was listening to the ‘Cinderella’ soundtrack, I thought, ‘What if Cinderella was actually an assassin who liked getting dressed up all pretty and going to the ball, but then she wouldn’t mind kicking butt?’
I fought the social media thing kicking and screaming. It can demystify. But it’s a different world now, and that is part of what we, as humans, have developed: right, wrong, good, bad, I don’t know.
You would think doing comedy would be nerve wracking, but punting and kicking footballs gets me more nervous.
I’ve said it before: War brings out the patriotic bullies. In World War I, they went around kicking dachshunds on the grounds that dachshunds were ‘German dogs.’ They did not, however, go around kicking German shepherds.
I’ve been kicking around in this business for 20-something years now, and there’s actually few times where you can look at the piece of work that’s put out there, and you can actually be proud of it.
What do you remember about Jason Robinson? His feet. Not how improved he was under a high ball or his kicking skills. Everyone remembers those feet. He could go round you in a phone box.
I don’t believe in kicking away ladders. By that, I mean the ladders by which I ascended as a young writer, small magazines that didn’t pay anything, and that sort of thing.
