When America is chasing you, the whole world is chasing you.
I feel very much aware of my mortality. I’m here, and then I’m not. It’s the same thing with everything else: the movie comes out, and then it’s gone. Everything is changing all the time, and I’m not going to stress out and spend my entire time chasing something that ultimately doesn’t exist.
I always had short hair, and I hated my short hair. I was always mistaken for a boy, but my mom wouldn’t let me change my hair because she was always chasing me around with a hairbrush, and it was always tangled, so she just would cut it off, and she’s right: short hair did suit me.
I’ve been lucky. I’ve made films that I really like. It’s been a combination of what comes to me and what I choose. I’ve gone after lots of things that I didn’t get, pet projects that everybody ends up chasing after. Really, you’re lucky if you get anything.
The whole wood seemed running now, running hard, hunting, chasing, closing in round something or – somebody? In panic, he began to run too, aimlessly, he knew not whither.
Unfortunately, there tends to be an easy way of doing things in life and the Haskell way. As a 12-year-old I knocked my front teeth out while chasing a friend in the rain. I’m the type who offers to serve wine at drinks parties and accidentally pours it down one of the guests.
There is a reason they called it chasing your dreams and not walking after them.
People are chasing cash, not happiness. When you chase money, you’re going to lose. You’re just going to. Even if you get the money, you’re not going to be happy.

I always had the theory that if you have a dream, chase it. And I’m chasing it.
I never counted on playing rugby: I was just another fat kid chasing an egg. It has gone pretty well.
I give everything far too much thought. If you think you know what you’re doing, then you can kind of relax, and then you can improvise and play and just enjoy the day rather than be chasing the lines.
I often felt as a player in a 4-4-2, you end up being outnumbered in midfield and chasing the ball, so as a manager I liked wingbacks to push forward; it gives the midfield player on the ball three or four options.
You know those adages about smelling the roses and chasing butterflies? The markets are my butterflies and my roses.
Not knowing the thing that’s chasing you is a lot scarier than seeing it right in front of you.
There’s something bizarrely funny about a guy who doesn’t realise he’s, in essence, a dog chasing his own tail.
I started coming up to New York at age 17. There was a girl I met over the summer somewhere; I was chasing her. I would drive up to D.C., where I had made some friends, which was about four hours away, and we would take the bus up to New York.
If you can play guitar and sing, you can probably get a gig down the road playing at a restaurant, but don’t throw your life away chasing something that is so elusive it will only lead you to regret and may turn you bitter.
Whenever you step on the ice, you need to be a student of the game and try to hone your craft. You’re never going to play a perfect match, but you’re always chasing that perfect game.
I’m chasing my contenders. I’m talking about that GOAT status.
It’s a headache, chasing a guy around. I’d rather play against a quarterback that sits still.
I’ll spend the rest of my life chasing that feeling I had on ‘The Grey,’ because I think we’re all aware that, first and foremost, we were having an adventure, and we were also making this movie at the same time.
In the middle order the game is a little more laid out for you, whether you are batting first or chasing down a score, so you are a bit more reactive to the situation in front of you. Opening up, it is pretty much a blank canvas and dependent on how you play.
For me, triathlons were something that was down to me and my fitness. Now, I really enjoy the pain in the triathlon of chasing someone down. It’s a bit like chasing down Nico Rosberg in the last few laps at Silverstone – it makes you feel alive.
I remember the first time I went on live TV I had to cut a promo, and I spoke about this on Lillian Garcia’s podcast Chasing Glory, but I’m not very good at public speaking.
Spend the first six to 12 months building a great product or service that people love, rather than chasing investors. When the time comes to engage investors, you will be meeting them from a position of strength. This makes all the difference.
On weekends, I’m chasing my six-year-old girls around the city. That’s my cardio!
You cannot build a company or manage a life by chasing others; you have to find your success competing against yourself. There will always be a bigger fish.
The kind of neuroscience that I do and my colleagues do is almost like the weatherman. We are always chasing storms. We want to see and measure storms – brainstorms, that is.
If you’re not chasing gold, you’re not really in a place where you should be competing.
I’m just going to have to keep working on what I have to and keep chasing my goals.
You will never see me dancing around the trees, chasing a heroine; I will never do films, no matter what the budget, for the heck of it.
Everyone chases a bit of what they say life is about: money, desire… But when you stop chasing, you realise life is a rhythm and it’s very peaceful, very quiet. You see, it’s quite a miracle.
If you start chasing around trying to get steals for your own benefit, then you really put your defense at a disadvantage. It’s not a big thing for me; if it happens, great.
I admit, I’m suspicious of any career planning that involves chasing the next ‘big thing,’ just because it’s so hard to predict what the next big thing is going to be a couple of years – or even six months – out.
A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one’s own path, not chasing after the dreams of others.
I’m still chasing girls. I don’t remember what for, but I’m still chasing them.
So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things.
I won’t think about what people will say, even when I am actually seeing someone. Somebody will say something, then someone else will contradict it. I can’t keep chasing all of them and try and correct everyone.
It is difficult to be famous and that successful where you can’t even walk down the street without people chasing you, and having people build monuments to you and worshiping you – all that stuff – but I never took that to a place where I believed it. I saw it as being temporary and a phase.
I wasn’t one of those kids who was chasing the dream and wanted to get to Hollywood because one day I was gonna get my chance and be a big star. I never felt like that.
In the late ’80s, I think my vision was chasing people out of the room. Nobody else thought like this. I was really this pro-sex feminist.

I do write all the time about – you tell me what your dreams are. What are you chasing? It’s not impossible. Name it.
Kohli is the greatest chaser by far and I am saying this keeping in mind the great man Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin was special but as far as chasing is concerned, Kohli has done better than Sachin. Kohli is unreal.
Chasing new runway capacity to cater to ever more frequent leisure flights by Britain’s wealthiest households isn’t just iniquitous – it’s bad economic policy.
When people get placed upon a pedestal – when they start chasing after that person on the pedestal – they become mannequin-like.
The one thing about this Trump fiasco that never set well with me was the fact that everyone loved him until he ran for president. Every rapper, entertainer and actor was chasing a Trump check, then everyone changed on him almost overnight and I thought that was weird so I kept my eyes open.
I got freed of all of my addictions January 16, 2009, but at that point I didn’t do a full surrender to Jesus. I didn’t give a full surrender until February 18, 2017, so there’s quite a story in between where God was still chasing me.
Unfortunately, most gun control advocates are not really interested in rational debate, and their political games simply send Alice chasing white rabbits down holes.
I think you’re in trouble if you start chasing what you’ve done in the past. You always need to move on and look forward and do something new.
I’m not chasing mail volume down because I’m going where we see growth. That’s what we need to do.
So is civil society prepared for the future? Probably not. Most organisations have to live hand to mouth, juggling short-term funding and perpetual minor crises. Even the bigger ones rarely get much time to stand back and look at the bigger picture. Many are on a treadmill chasing after contracts and new funding.
In short, avoiding the scourge of unemployment may have less to do with chasing after growth and more to do with building an economy of care, craft and culture. And in doing so, restoring the value of decent work to its rightful place at the heart of society.
