What’s great about cable is that the ceiling of expectation is lowered because fewer people have to tune in for it to be a success. You don’t need 23 million people a week like you do in broadcast.
Ironically, for a few million people in the Far East, I did become an English teacher through my music.
I moved away when I was young, when I was about 19. I’d literally come from an area with dirt roads and stuff like that, right to the centre of a city of about five million people. It’s been great. I’m based in New York, and every day, it’s amazing.
Twenty-five million people who live in North Korea are denied freedom in every respect of their lives. In short, they are hostages. Imagine 25 million hostages.
I think that if you’ve got 5 million people that enjoy drama and invest in characters, you must take the time to not worry about your job and getting sacked and just go for it and hit it again.
I don’t want three million people digesting my private life over their cornflakes.
It’s one thing to be writing in South or Latin America, where, except for Brazil, every country, however small and hard to find on a map, speaks Spanish, but quite another to be writing in, say, Hungary, a landlocked nation of 10 million people, with a language that very few people outside Hungary can read or speak.
As many as three million people are expected to attend the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia. The security concerns and economic opportunities are great for both Canada and Washington state.
There are 58 million people with some kind of disability in America, so it’s the largest minority, really, in America, and it lags behind in education and economics and jobs, so outside of ‘CSI’ and outside of my music, I serve on a couple of boards, and I’m trying to be a part of the movement that changes this.
When we look around the world today, when we see in Afghanistan that 10 million people have registered to vote in their upcoming elections, including 40 percent of those people are women, that’s just unbelievable.
I don’t try to guess what a million people will like. It’s hard enough to know what I like.
Now I can broadcast to an audience of several million people on the ‘Today’ programme. I can talk about the day’s news. But on radio, believe it or not, we have notes and scripts. And while we might ad lib the odd wryly amusing asides, they come at the frequency of a suburban bus. About one every 90 minutes.
To ask a country with 750 million people living on less than a dollar a day to optimize their development for the environment as opposed to getting food in the mouths of these people and giving them a decent lifestyle, that’s just a little bit too much to ask.
We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!
The Puente Hills Landfill, about sixteen miles east of downtown Los Angeles, serves 5 million people in seventy-eight California cities, one of six landfills operated by the Sanitation Districts of L.A. County.
We’re like, ‘Woah, are we even in that league where we get nominated for a VMA?’ And yet our name is right down there among the other nominees. It’s very, very strange coming from a country of five and a half million people.
We have literally millions and millions of fans. I mean, even Kendall and Kylie have 50 million followers on Instagram – apiece. That’s a hundred million people you have somehow touched emotionally, enough to follow you on a social-media platform. And I think with that also comes, you know, haters.
Build something 100 people love, not something 1 million people kind of like.
Several million people inside and outside Afghanistan are destitute and desperately in need of help.
I think it’s good for ‘Drag Race’ to be moving toward the mainstream. I’m grateful for the move to VH1. I’m glad that one million people watched the first episode of Season 9. Our message is one of love and acceptance and truth and strength and perseverance, and I believe it should reach everyone, near and far.
If 10 people see my movie and all ten really love it, then that means a lot to me, rather than ten million people go and see it and most of them hate it.
Forty-five million people hit that button for ‘In These Streets.’ When you find out you have that kind of popularity, you better use it. It’s called responsibility.
I wanted to play around with the format, really tear it to pieces and shake it up. For example, if Mitch saves someone from drowning, and that person then goes out and releases a virus that kills a million people. Imagine the moral implications of that.
We should be proud of liberating the 26 million people in Iraq and should remember that this is why it is important to stick it out to it’s successful conclusion.
The fact was, Ford kept stumbling around. I didn’t want him in the White House. I wanted Carter in, and I had a forum of 20 million people watching.
Each year, about 45 million people are affected by war. Three hundred thousand people die looking down the barrel of a gun – and 200,000 of these are killed in countries ostensibly at peace.
When you talk about the oil wealth you compare nations. There are some nations with less than five million people. Nigeria has 150 million people. I cannot say that all the money earned from oil since 1958, when the first drop of oil was exported from this country to date, that the money has been effectively used.
We watched the U.S. citizenship immigration services web site in March. They had six million, two hundred thousand hits, and two million people downloaded applications for citizenship. So what we’re doing is attempting to help people in that process.
That’s the thing: when I’m on stage, I don’t care; there could be ten people there, there could be ten million people there. But if I’m offstage, I’m, like, counting the people. I know exactly where everyone’s standing, how far they are from me.
The biggest opportunity in 2013 is in Africa. It has seven out of the ten fastest-growing economies in the world. In Nigeria alone there are 100 million people with mobile phones. In total, 300 million Africans – five times the population of Britain – are in the middle class.
Agriculture is the backbone of the livelihood security system of nearly 700 million people in the country and we need to build our food security on the foundation of home grown food.
No matter what anyone else thinks, if someone appreciates what you do, whether it’s 10 people or a million people, it’s all good – because the only reason you make music is to have someone appreciate it.
If 300 million people were to offer up the details of their private lives, you would need to hire another 300 million people just to keep up.
Belize pledges it continued support to the aspirations of the 23 million people of Taiwan to be full participants in all organs and agencies of the international community.
During the first 3 years at Auschwitz, 2 million people died; over the next 2 years – 3 million.
So more than 8 million people lost their jobs. It’s going to take a significant push on our part and time before that comes down. I don’t anticipate it coming down rapidly.
There are very few things that 13 million people tune in to witness, so television is a really relevant and powerful thing.
There aren’t many people in the world that were on television in the history of God’s green earth talking to 110 million people.
Let’s face it: when we were crazy into wrestling, there were 20 million people on Monday nights watching wrestling. So what you have are 17 million lagged wrestling fans. People who connect to it somewhere, but haven’t really found an inspiration or a cultural connection to it.
Carefully calculate the potential size of your market to make sure you can grow. Before starting Mint, I knew that there were about 20 million people who had purchased ‘Quicken’ or ‘Microsoft Money’ over the years, and 80 million people using online banking in the U.S. alone.
About 10 million people start a business each year, and about one out of two will make it. The average entrepreneur is often on his or her third startup.
I feel like more than 80% of the world wouldn’t get up in front of 40 million people and dance on national television, and if I have the confidence to do that then that’s a step ahead in my life for me in terms of personal goals. I will gain a lot of confidence on all aspects right there.
Today right here in America we have 50 million people without health insurance.
Iran is not a make-believe country. It is a real country populated by some 75 million people – real people; including, I daresay, a majority who are philosophically and by education inclined toward the modern, secular world, and particularly American values.
I’ve got to admit when I did my first ever Match Of The Day, I didn’t realise how nervous I’d be. There’s a real adrenaline rush as you know you’re being watched by around eight million people who’ll take the mick out of any mistake you make.
With true free speech has to come an understanding of when and when not to use it. But you can’t legislate that. It must be voluntary – especially in a world where a whisper can reach a million people in an eye blink.
Iran is a country of 80 million people, educated and dynamic. It sits astride a crucial part of the world. It cannot be sanctioned and pressed down forever. It is the last great civilization to sit outside the global order.
