I’m too scared to perform onstage. I’m not very good with big crowds.
Where there had been only jeers or taunts at first, crowds come to listen with serious and sympathetic men.
I have more respect for amateur wrestlers, especially collegiate ones, than anyone else. It’s a gutsy sport with no real payoff except for knowing that you were better than someone else. It doesn’t have big crowds, it doesn’t have big money, but it is fun going one on one.
Pope Francis has aimed a blow at what the whole hierarchical system is built on: a graded system with the higher clergy in the skyboxes, the devoted religious in festival seating, as they say of the crowds at rock concerts, and, on the bottom, the laity in standing room only.
When we play in the Pro Tour there’s no crowds in, so you can concentrate better. The others play better as well, there’s players who can’t play too good on TV but on the floor when it’s nice and quiet they can bang them in, let me tell you.
We want a crowd to make us feel important and liked. But why is getting a crowd our focus? Jesus never suggested that crowds were the goal. He never addresses getting your church to grow. Never.

During the Arab Spring, I learned all sorts of things from Twitter. I wouldn’t necessarily trust that information, but it gave me ideas about questions to ask. You can really learn things from the wisdom of crowds.

Chicago fans cheer and boo who they want. They’re great fans whether they like me or not. They show you how they feel. I don’t like crowds that sit on their hands.
If there is a look of human eyes that tells of perpetual loneliness, so there is also the familiar look that is the sign of perpetual crowds.
Honestly, I get energized by the crowds. They feed me emotionally.

Every genre succumbs to gentrification at some point- as equipment becomes cheaper, as crowds become younger, there seems to be a sheepish attitude towards producers – how they can follow a mundane, linear sound, and make money.
I hate crowds of people pretending to be happy on one night of the year, where they get drunk and obnoxious by the end of the night.
I’ve always said the same thing – I’m learning, I’m getting better and I’m loving playing in front of sell-out crowds.

Everyone goes on about how Bombay is so similar to New York, so I had see what the big deal was. The bustling crowds are the same, but it’s a lot quieter, it’s a lot cleaner, and it’s not humid. I think the energy is very similar to Bombay.
You booked him, and you didn’t worry about crowds. For drawing power in the South, it was Roy Acuff, then God.

I’m not very good in crowds, so I usually try to become as small as possible.
Since I was five or six years old, I just wanted to be a professional football player. I wanted to play against the best players. I wanted to play in big stadiums in front of big crowds, and I was desperate to play for my country one day, and thankfully, I was lucky enough that happened.
Walking into my hometown where I grew up with crowds of people waiting for me to get pictures, it just didn’t seem real.

I’ve never felt nervous in front of big crowds and in big stadiums.
A woman who walks well parts crowds – it’s something we should all be taught to do.

Once you’ve been on tour six, seven years, you get an idea of what works and what doesn’t work universally. There will be some crowds that we just can’t play a song, but we’ve got 90% of a show that we know is going to be a hit with the Lupe Fiasco fan. I think the catering has already been done.
Linux is a complex example of the wisdom of crowds. It’s a good example in the sense that it shows you can set people to work in a decentralized way – that is, without anyone really directing their efforts in a particular direction – and still trust that they’re going to come up with good answers.
For me, winning isn’t something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream.

Wherever I went, crowds appeared again, and I started making solo albums for the first time in my career.
It’s pretty cool to see, like, from town to town, how different the crowds are.
Barack Obama’s convention speech in 2004 had made him a political star, and he arrived in Iowa to crowds unseen in caucus history.
I love Dallas, Austin and Houston. Why? Because some of the best comedians, like Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison, started their careers in Texas, and because the crowds there are comedy-educated.
Drake has become a mega-star, with sell-out crowds around the world.
I was very inspired by the videos of the crowds at the Palin rallies.
I definitely love touring with Yachty. His fans are honestly really nice, because I’ve been in front of some mean crowds. They’re definitely a diverse, alternative crowd that just want to hear good music and have a good time.
Hey, we’ve all been to high school We’ve seen the in-crowds. Most of us have been in the outer crowds, the people who weren’t in. Although I was never in, I was selling records and was very happy.
I seem to have a missing gene when it comes to organized sports. Televised events bore me and I literally fear the crowds at live matches.
It was my first day at work – and beginning my training on the job, I was given the job of writing cheques and entering their details. The branch was surrounded by hordes of people… soon, they had to close the gates to manage the crowds, and they started pushing in.
My dream is to bring a G1 tournament to the United States. I want to do a G1 in front of American crowds.
I’m still down with Jesus. I like to think of him mostly as a social revolutionary who mixed with bad crowds and hated the rich.
We know what the birth of a revolution looks like: A student stands before a tank. A fruit seller sets himself on fire. A line of monks link arms in a human chain. Crowds surge, soldiers fire, gusts of rage pull down the monuments of tyrants, and maybe, sometimes, justice rises from the flames.
I don’t really like long flights any more – I find them too tiring. Flying always involves the same things these days – huge crowds at airports, waiting around, late take-offs, weather problems, and so on. I don’t really enjoy travelling. I don’t imagine anyone does except young children.
With the crowds on your side, it’s easier to play up to your potential.
I love working in front of American crowds.
