You know the old saying: you win some, you lose some… and then there’s that little-known third category.
Among my books, the ones that sell best are for readers between the ages of 8 and 12. According to a study by the Association of American Publishers, the largest area of industry growth in 2014 was in the children and young adult category.
I think he’s accomplished so much, I don’t think it’s fair to put me in the same category as Coach Payton. I think, hopefully, if you achieve even close to what he has in this league, then maybe you start to get mentioned.
Our U.S. audience is composed of globally-minded Americans, an elite category, the ones who do have passports, the decision-makers, senior ranks in the administration, senators on Capitol Hill.
Laughter, and the broader category of humor, are key elements in helping us go on with our life after a loss.
I wrote my first full book when I was fourteen, and that was ‘Obernewtyn.’ It was also the first book I had published. It was accepted by the first publisher I sent it to, and it was short listed for Children’s Book of the Year in the older readers category in Australia.
Normally, I’d believe that the saying ‘There’s no small parts, only small actors’ is a load of crock because, more often than not, actors relegated to the small-part category stay in ‘Who was that guy from that thing’ purgatory – however, ’90s sitcom ‘Friends’ proved that the saying is true.
I told the truth about the Miami life. It’s a nice place to visit, but you don’t want to live here. I lived through two major riots and three Category 5 hurricanes, I don’t know if a lot of people could say that.
I figured I would always be a candidate for man of the year in the virtue-is-its-own-reward category. What that did was force me to concentrate on the work.
There’s something about somebody who does something special in the UFC that they’re allotted certain freedoms and wiggle room around the rules. I’m just not in that category. So if I want to fight Georges St-Pierre or Nick Diaz or Nate Diaz, then it’s all the hooplah and all the talk about it.
My style is super versatile and doesn’t pertain to any one category. It can be best compared to a mood ring. It is very dependent on the mood I am feeling for the day.
The Company of Wolves doesn’t belong in any category, so it’s difficult to prepare an audience for it. It’s not a horror film, it’s not a fantasy film, it’s not a children’s film – so what is it?
Democracy is only a dream: it should be put in the same category as Arcadia, Santa Claus, and Heaven.
The virtue of the civil partnerships scheme lay in the attempt to treat the needs of gay and lesbian couples as what they are, not to bundle them into some other category.
In the case of games, we have a belief that that could end up being the largest category in entertainment over a long period of time. Just look at what’s happening in games and how social they’ve become.
Whoopi Goldberg, Lily Tomlin, Julia Louis-Dreyfus – I put Issa Rae in that category of comic genius.
So many paintings have hidden meanings or need wall texts, but my work is not in that category.
The ‘Britishness’ debate too often descends into worthy flannel about common values and mutual respect. To give a hard edge to what it means to be British, you have to say what is un-British, and, if necessary, legislate to stop anyone committing un-British acts. Forced marriage falls squarely into this category.
Intelligence is not a moral category.
I don’t really like the idea of putting myself in any category now… I think that people are looking for music that’s real and honest and that they can relate to emotionally.
That’s the beauty of Black Eyed Peas, we don’t pigeonhole ourselves into just one category. We’re the chameleons of hip-hop.
The key factor in the vodka category is smoothness, and smoothness is what our vodka has.
In America, the professor talks to the mechanic. They are in the same category.
The only job I’d ever had that might be considered not playing music was teaching guitar, which I did in college for a while, but that still falls in the same category.
I have no issue with being a character actor. If you’ve been around enough that people are able to segregate you into that category, it means you’re working. So that’s good!
It’s special to be in that elite category of players who’ve been on the ‘Madden’ cover.
It’d be great to have more categories in the rock and metal category – but I don’t want that job, picking where everybody is supposed to go.
No matter what their profession, there’s a certain category of men who let passion overcome reason as soon as a girl offers them her company. More often than not, they turn out to be losers.
I find it hard to be labelled in this new ‘super-rich’ category because we all grew up with very little. The idea that ‘to get rich is glorious’ is really a new phenomenon. I certainly didn’t grow up like that.
They wanted to jump on their own bandwagon. Bobby Charlton had never made it as a manager. Bobby Moore hadn’t either. I think they never stopped trying to put me in the same category. That was the road they went down with me.
I just consider myself a Republican, none of this hyphenated stuff. I was a mainstream conservative Republican, and most people are in that category.
The way ‘star’ used to be reserved for a small number of people, and when the star category became so vast, they came up with ‘superstar,’ and then they came up with ‘megastar.’
People often ask how I can reject the phrase ‘woman writer’ and not reject the phrase ‘Jewish writer’ – a preposterous question. ‘Jewish’ is a category of civilization, culture, and intellect, and ‘woman’ is a category of anatomy and physiology.
Whether or not anybody had invented the category in his lifetime, Babe Ruth was surely the Greatest Living Yankee almost immediately upon lofting home runs at the Polo Grounds, allowing the Yankees to build their own palace across the Harlem River.
In the past, I was sometimes put in this women’s lit category, and I was never really sure that was the appropriate place for me – although I certainly recognize it can be helpful and correct for other people.
