It’s either some sort of a kismet or something that I’ve been offered a film like ‘Zero Dark Thirty,’ which I would have lined up to be the first one to watch that movie, had I not shot it.
I’ve done a few celebrity-related things, and I think on the first one – about Mick Jagger – I got stung and was not able to make the film I wanted to make.
I will say that there is an inordinate amount of medicine in my novels, especially the first one. There are a lot of medical things that happen. A hip fracture, three different kinds of lung cancer, pneumonia, blood poisoning, and so on.
I think Shakespeare really got it. He was the first one to introduce psychology to villains and give them a real point of view.
Every Sparks album is a new album when it’s the first one you’re hearing.
It’s just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It’s never going to be as good as the first one.
I wrote four novels under the name Amy Silver. The first one was commissioned, and I was given basically the whole plot and the characters. They told me what to do, and I went straight away and did it. After that, I continued, and I was coming up with more my own ideas, although they did steer me.
My chin – I’ve got another one underneath the first one.
I wrote the ‘Marigold Hotel’ series and with the first one, people hated it in the U.K. but in America they really liked it.
I’ve had two cancer bouts in my years on the Court, and the first one, Justice O’Connor told me, ‘Now, you do the chemotherapy on Friday because you’ll get over it during the weekend and you can be back in court on Monday.’
When you watch Robin Williams, you can see a lot of Jonathan Winters. Robin is the first one to admit that; he worshiped Jonathan Winters.
A sequel is such a daunting thing, because you don’t want to lose the magic and the charm of the first one.
For everyone, the World Cup is important. It doesn’t matter if you are 21, going for your first one, or 35 and going for your third one. It’s the biggest stage you can play on, and every opportunity to experience it is something special.
Everybody notices if you’re the last one in in the morning and the first one to go in the evening. Always remember that as an employee.
The 2016 election, I’m sure, wasn’t the first one to be hacked; it was just the first one that was made public.
I turned down ‘American Gigolo.’ There are many films – like ‘Ghostbusters’ – that I turned down… The first one I did was ‘Foul Play’ with Goldie Hawn, but I turned down ‘Animal House’ – I turned that down.
I feel like a pioneer with the split-fingered fastball. I was the first one to really throw it pretty much 100 percent of the time. It was a pitch that I had to have. If I didn’t have it, I wouldn’t have been in the big leagues.
What I love is a good role. In the theatre, there is just a canon of extraordinary roles, the quality of character is amazing, but I also love working in front of a camera. It was the first one for me; as a kid I was in front of a camera. I feel at home.
And I have this little litany of things they can do. And the first one, of course, is to write – every day, no excuses. It’s so easy to make excuses. Even professional writers have days when they’d rather clean the toilet than do the writing.
I was in ‘Iron Sky,’ the first one, and I liked it very much. I liked the technology being used. The technology has such power.
Even as a little kid, I was fascinated by newspapers and magazines. They were my TV. I’d be the first one up to grab the morning paper, mainly to look at the sports pictures, the war pictures.
I was really conscious of that when I went in because I felt that I was pretty solid on the first one, but I didn’t have the groove exactly where I wanted it.
I’ll be the first one to admit my first couple of years I was pretty hard on the refs.
Every young man’s best purchase is his first car, which spells freedom. My first one was a ’70 Camaro, springtime gold-over-saddle, a 307 with Hi-jackers and chrome reverse mags.
He would watch every single Reds game. He was the first one to teach me how to play baseball. I played catch with him on a daily basis when I was really young. He was a big fan. He was just in love with what I did and me. He was a great father to me.
Upsi is definitely the more romantic of the two. I am more laid back. We do have our differences of opinion sometimes. Upsi is always the first one to break the ice after an argument or a difference of opinion. That’s what I love most about her.
I have a lot of interests. I daydreamed about various career options growing up; the one I’m in is the first one that worked out, and I love it, so I feel very lucky.
The best holiday I ever had was the first one I went on without my parents, when I was 17.
The key step for an infielder is the first one… but before the ball is hit.
You’re always in a different headspace when you make each record, so hopefully they’re all different. You just pick up things that you wish you hadn’t done on the first one.
One of my business partners would remind me that no fashion line lasts forever, that we would hit the down curve eventually, and that we needed to look for new brands that complement the first one.
I did see ‘Zoolander II,’ and I thought it was a cool movie, but I liked the first one way more.
Only when I saw I could be the first one to win five world cup races in a row did I get some extra motivation to go for it. And after winning five, I said to myself, ‘Why not win them all?’ The icing on the cake was the World Championship at the end.
I don’t see America as a mainland, but as a sea, a big ocean. Sometimes a storm arises, a formidable current develops, and it seems it will engulf everything. Wait a moment, another current will appear and bring the first one to naught.
The anguish of the neurotic individual is the same as that of the saint. The neurotic, the saint are engaged in the same battle. Their blood flows from similar wounds. But the first one gasps and the other one gives.
I was the first BSB dad. I was the first one to join the club.
I learned during my term and in the presidency that we should not discuss about assumptions or insinuations. If one day I have to do something against the U.S., the first one to get to know what I was going to do would be the president of the U.S.
As a big, you don’t want to be the first one to shoot.
There are lots of films I wish stopped at installment number one. I like ‘Back to the Future Part II’ and ‘Part III’ enough, but I still like the ending of the first one better.
Talk is cheap, but when you go out there and prove it – you’re the first one to show up for practice, and you’re the last to leave – that’s how you lead by example.
Khan let Polo be his eyes and ears. He was the first one to build a bridge between East and West.
I think we are living in selfish times. I’m the first one to say that I’m the most selfish. We live in the so-called ‘first world,’ and we may be first in a lot of things like technology, but we are behind in empathy.
‘How to Train Your Dragon,’ the first one, was a film I’d seen prior to being approached for the sequel. I don’t often watch family animated movies, but it’s one that I loved and thought was really well done: beautifully crafted storytelling.
The key step for an infielder is the first one, to the left or right, but before the ball is hit.
One of the best things is to be able to go to the playoffs and win a championship. After you taste the first one, you want to go back every year.
It’s harder to get your second picture than it is to get your first one.
I think every person deserves two marriages, because you may not get the first one right. You really never knew. That’s why divorce is so big. We all want it to last, but that’s not always the reality of it.
We should just get somebody from the left and the right and they should all throw bumper stickers at each other and the first one to cover the other one wins.
We haven’t achieved really big things yet with the U.S., so I think everybody wants to be the first one, and that’s why everybody is so motivated to develop yourself and to win the first big trophy for the country.
It almost seems I was writing two separate books, the first one about the time before I went on the court and the second one about the many, many terms I was on the court.
Once you win a National Championship, how do you do that again? How do you get the passion to do that again? We won it again right away, the next year. A lot of it had to do with the fact that I didn’t give myself an opportunity to enjoy the first one.
My favorite Galaxie 500 album is the first one, ‘Today,’ recorded in three days at Noise New York and produced by Kramer. It contains my favorite Galaxie 500 songs: ‘Temperature’s Rising,’ ‘Tugboat,’ and our interpretation of Jonathan Richman’s ‘Don’t Let Our Youth Go to Waste.’
I want to be the first one to say I beat both Diaz brothers.
My first manager, he had left Germany when he was five, but he would joke about the Nazis. And I’d laugh, but I’d look at him, and he was the first one who told me, ‘You know, funny is a powerful thing; it’s a wonderful weapon.’
If you’re going to run a small business, you need to know what everyone is doing, be the first one in and the last one out, and work weekends.
