So now, if we don’t fund the physical sciences, where will the Next Big Thing come from?
Anytime you have opportunities to spread the game of basketball, it is a big thing.

It’s always a big thing when you get to hold the championship because it shows that not only are you capable but that the company as a whole has faith in you.
I think people don’t want be alone. Ultimately, we want to feel connected. We want to feel like there is someone who actually sees us in the world. That’s the big thing: to be seen. How many people actually feel seen?
The big thing is I’m not with a major label. I’ve been independent since the get-go, and I’ve been very lucky to get some good advice on keeping hold of copyright and that kind of stuff.
Comic books are a big thing. I looked at them when I was a kid. I’m not a kid anymore, so I kind of grew out of that phase.
The big thing is, it’s about learning which off-speed pitches to swing at. A lot of people say, ‘Oh, this guy can’t hit a curveball; this guy can’t hit an off-speed pitch.’ But it’s about swinging at the right one. Swing at the hangers. Swing at the ones you can handle.
Knowing about my body, different aspects of my body, it’s been a big thing. It’s really helped me as far as injury and whatnot, so I know exactly if something feels funny, I know what I’m capable of doing to help myself get back stronger and get back healthy.
My big thing is we need to change how people feel about goalkeeping. I don’t think there is enough respect for the position in the game, whether male or female. There is a stigma that you have to be a certain size or not very good with your feet, or you have had to go in goal as a last resort.
I write an actual script rather quickly – a draft will take me two weeks – but I write a lot of drafts. My big thing is I don’t re-read. When I write, I never re-read back. I’ll send it, because if I re-read back, it will cripple me.
The big thing I’ve discovered, the big secret, is that it’s all about how happy you are. It’s the ultimate thing. People forget your flaws and imperfections if they see you’re happy.

In general, for me, a big thing in my life has been just sort of learning what true self-esteem is and what true positive self-image is. And being a dancer, and growing up in that world, you’re so focused on yourself, and you’re so focused on achieving goals, on finding perfection, and working on your craft.
When I first starting making money, when I first made my first six-digits, I was – my big thing was I went to put super unleaded in my truck for the first time.
I realized we’re all perfectly imperfect, which was a big thing. Perfectionism, to me, was an important thing.
When I was a kid, I always had a big thing for Dannii Minogue. Initially I liked Kylie, but I quickly moved on to Dannii. There was always something more alluring about her. I think I actually wrote to her asking if we could meet.
I think all things are political… How women are portrayed – that’s a big thing for me. What is this role trying to say about women? Is this woman weak or victimised, and, if so, do we get to understand why?
I don’t think we have to make a big thing about being gay, except for when we get together for these gay pride events.
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.
It’s like everybody is shooting something, and everybody’s a filmmaker; everybody can shoot a cat video and post it. So the big thing now is – for people that have talent and have something to say, and are creative, and are capable of making something good – is how do they get attention to it?
I like helping children. I have a big thing with children. You can correspond with the child, send something to them as a gift. You know it’s actually getting there and you are doing something to help.
The moment I came out as a gay man, I never really thought of the consequences. Of course, the proverbial happened: it hits the newswires, and it’s this big, big thing.

‘Lizzie McGuire’ was my big thing when I was younger. I did buy some pencils and back-to-school stuff of hers because she was on it. I loved her.
Opening Day was a big thing. I came to a lot of Orioles games. I grew up a couple blocks from here, so I was always coming down to the stadium. I always made it down for Opening Day until I was a little bit older and I had ball. But when I was younger, I always missed school.
I didn’t really adapt to Scottish football well, but I enjoyed my time there. The physical nature and the pace of the game was a big thing, and many of the teams defended really deep against Celtic so there was not so much space to run in behind. That’s a big part of my game, so that was one thing as well.
Just being a girl coming from YouTube, I know what it’s like to have a very humble, simple beginning. It would be kinda crazy for my fans if I made it huge in that way and became the next big thing. I wanna be able to do it for them and say, ‘Look, this is what you’ve done for me.’
The rules – I think that’s one big thing that people seem to get caught up in is that I have to know all the rules… But, one thing you have to consider as a new Dungeon Master is you do not have to know the rules like the back of your hand.
I might wear a dinner jacket once a year to our Oscar party – that’s a big thing – but I don’t go to parties. I’m social but I’m not a socialite person.
Christmas means a lot to me as me and my family have always been together celebrating, it is a big thing for my family.

This guy kept telling us that rock was the big thing, everyone’s talking about the big thing, our band was the big thing. So he made us change our name to The Big Thing. Can you believe that?!
There’s a big thing in Canada that parents need to talk to their children about drugs and sex. I don’t think talking to your kids about war is any less important than that.
As an actor, I enjoy variety. That’s a big thing for me. So, if I’m going to put my name to something and commit to something that’s going to take up a lot of my time, it has to be something that I know is going to be enjoyable and worth my while. Otherwise, what’s the point?
I think the biggest thing is, you have to understand the different rules. There are so many rules that change from college to the NBA. Change of pace is a big thing, also.
Marijuana is not tested for, and yet that is the big thing guys are getting in trouble with in the league. It’s terrible.
My big thing is I like to be in a spot where I can have an opinion every single day, and I’m hoping to keep that going because, you know, it’s not normal yet for women in this business to have an opinion, and I was very grateful that I got to do that.
I haven’t ever really relied on relationships with guys. They come around and it’s cool, but it’s never been a big thing. I guess I’ve just been really distracted by work.
The big thing about coaching is, however you are, that’s how you’ve got to do it.
It seems to be a big thing to people that a Scottish player is going to play in the Champions League final, but hopefully that will become a more regular thing.

When I was writing the Destiny’s Child songs, it was a big thing to be that young and taking control. And the label at the time didn’t know that we were going to be that successful, so they gave us all control. And I got used to it.
