I always have melodies flowing in my head – whether I’m just at home, at the mall, at a restaurant or wherever. I’m always humming along to the random melodies that form in my head. My friends always ask me, ‘What are you singing?’ and I’ll be like, ‘I don’t know!’
You’d never think getting four random girls together would work, but it really did.

The thing I love to do is take a good bath. I know it’s random but I love a good bath, a good face mask and just really take time for yourself to decompress.
While handling social media pages, my father accepted every friend suggestion that popped up on the screen. He’s shared some random videos and commented on people’s posts. I told him it’s silly paa ‘ and he laughed. Maybe on Father’s Day, I’ll teach him to order his favorite food on an app.
I’m just trying to write a good story, strictly from imagination. People just think it’s random, they don’t see the rewriting, phrasing of characters, choosing the words, bringing the world to light in which the characters live in. That creates an illusion that this is real.
Many historians will tell you that there are no laws of history and no great cycles that govern human events. History often appears more random than rhythmic. But if not patterns or cycles, there are certainly coincidences and some are so marked that they are hard not to notice.
I buy a lot of random books, and it’s really hard to immediately fall asleep if I’ve been staring at a screen, so reading and trying to put my phone away maybe an hour before I go to sleep are two of my go-to strategies before bed.
You can’t ever get sick on a soap: we work really long hours, the show is on TV five nights a week, and it’s random and chaotic.
I don’t really think dreams have real meaning. Some people believe in that. I just think it’s your brain, after a day of crazy random pieces of information jumbled together, creating interesting stories. I just view it as entertainment.
Hey, don’t knock Judy Blume. Without her, my younger self would never have been able to decode the random acts of madness perpetrated by the fascinating creature known as the teenage girl.
I worked at a local country club that I never belonged to. I did random tasks in the pro shop and supposed to be in charge of the register, but that didn’t go so well. They quickly realized I was better with people, not computers.
I remember going backstage on a random night and Kanye goes, ‘Ayo Premier, I’m about to drop an album called ‘College Dropout’ and I’m rapping on the whole thing. And as I soon it drop it’s gonna go double platinum.’ I looked at him like, ‘That’s a bold statement to make if you never rapped before.’
When I first moved to L.A., I cleaned apartments after people moved out. When people move, they leave stuff behind and haven’t cleaned for weeks. I like to clean – I have no problem with cleaning – but some apartments were filthy and disgusting. And there’d always be a random flip-flop left somewhere on its own.
I run a lot. I do a lot of yoga. Hot yoga. Which is random and sounds lame, but it has definitely made my flexibility and balance 100 percent better on my skateboard. I do that and a lot of plyometric, biometrics, and surf. I train every other day of the week and skate for an hour everyday.
A lot of things change when one is granted success: random people pop up, and a lot of the adjustments are rough. My way of coping with them is through focusing on the things that I have accomplished and the things that are yet to come.
Random violence is incredibly infectious.
Another random thing I do is the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI. And you may be familiar with the movie ‘Contact,’ which sort of popularized that. It turns out there are real people who go out and search for extraterrestrials in a very scientific way.
It is necessary to fall in love… if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway.
It’s sometimes the random people that say things that aren’t so nice, but that’s okay.

Anyone who attempts to generate random numbers by deterministic means is, of course, living in a state of sin.

Only my phone number and email are private because I don’t want random people calling me. But I like the ability to share everything.
The human brain has evolved the capacity to impose a narrative, complete with chronology and cause-and-effect logic, on whatever it encounters, no matter how apparently random.
I’m someone that needs to talk about my problems. I call my mom every single day at school just to vent about random stuff. Singing is the same thing.
It’s a lot of random situations that combine in a certain volatile form and create a bigger-than- the-whole situation that nobody could have predicted.
I think that my ideas of the world are that it’s random and cruel but kind of quite comical really, and therefore the humour, in a sense, springs from that.
Every man who has a sister, mother, wife, girlfriend or even a random female in their life who they’ve spent more than three minutes with knows that telling a woman they’ve gained weight is just never going to go down well.
People say that New Yorkers aren’t friendly, but I think they’re more friendly than Londoners. Here there is a front-footed nature of Americans. You can go out on a night out and meet 10 random people and stay in touch with them, whereas that’s not going to happen in the same way in London.
When I get bored, I’ll zone out, and I’ll just sit in front of my computer and start writing any random song that comes to mind.
Our pain hides beneath these fluttering, random thoughts that run through our heads in an endless loop. But there’s so much freedom in getting to know what’s under there, the bedrock.
A great deal of creativity is about pattern recognition, and what you need to discern patterns is tons of data. Your mind collects that data by taking note of random details and anomalies easily seen every day: quirks and changes that, eventually, add up to insights.
I’m loving being part of the ‘Saturday Night Takeaway’ family. I’m in my element chatting to random strangers and taking them back to the studio – in a helicopter of all things.
Oh, I sat by Grumpy Cat once. You know that cat everyone is obsessed with? That’s pretty random. She’s not allowed to be touched. Are you kidding? You can’t put a cat next to me and expect me not to touch it.
I like to do chill things on dates. I think it would be fun to go to the zoo. I know it’s really weird and random, but I love animals. It’d be like a day of doing silly things, while enjoying nature.
I went down to my keyboard and was playing random chords, and the one line I kept repeating was, ‘I’m a lost boy from Neverland.’ I decided to post it to Vine, and it got the biggest reaction I’d ever gotten. People wanted to hear more, and I had to explain it wasn’t a song.
I was driving along and I got a random call on my way to my mother in law’s for dinner and it was Drake. He wanted to help and he said he’d do anything to get ‘Top Boy’ back on screens and then got a call from Netflix, who wanted to do the show. For U.K. culture, it’s a huge thing.
You need a place to work that works for you, and you need people to understand that when you are writing, you are doing a rarefied type of brain surgery and therefore should not be subject to a million random interruptions.

I used to write random little stupid things when I was five, but then the first song I really wrote was one called ‘Fingers Crossed,’ which is on SoundCloud.
The ‘Friday sessions’ refer to something that you’re not paid for and not supposed to do during your professional life. Curiosity-driven research. Something random, simple, maybe a bit weird – even ridiculous. Without it, there are no discoveries.
My life experiences are different than the average person because I’ve spent the last 10 years living in Mexico. I generally don’t know what’s going on in America, and when I do visit for work, I’m often interrogated about my life choices by random strangers.
I was travelling a lot, during the release of ‘Dilbar,’ to various countries, and the song would be played at random places like lounges, coffee shops, streets, and I realised the song had reached levels that was beyond India.
