Coming up in the Bay Area and being African American in a city that has a history of complex issues of violent crime, interaction with the police is always intense.

Allison Schroeder
I grew up in a French-dominated Catholic part of the country. I was an altar boy. I went to Catholic school. I have a cousin who is a priest – it’s part of my DNA. It’s kind of hard to separate me from the church, to try to say where one starts and the other stops.

John Niven
As far as cities, one of my favorite stops every year is Rome I think it’s super fun to play there, because the tournament is really cool and the fans are super engaged, but also you get to walk around going to dinner, and the history – it’s truly one of the most amazing cities in the world.

A fly cannot go in unless it stops somewhere; therefore weapons, fuel, food, money will not go to Afghanistan unless the neighbors of Afghanistan are working, are cooperating, either being themselves the origin or the transit.
Lakhdar Brahimi
Naw, it – it never stops, man… You gotta be doing what you’re supposed to be doing – whenever, however it’s coming down, you know. If you’re getting your butt kicked – you still gotta do what you gotta be doing.
Taj Mahal
Le Mans takes the best out of everyone. Winning is important but it’s not everything. It’s such a big and great event in motorsport. You do more kilometres in that one race than Formula One do in a season, and probably a higher average speed. We average about 220km/h including pit stops and cover nearly 5000km.
Tom Kristensen
I’ve had a few injuries and if you can’t carry on, that’s always a bad sign. Sometimes it’s bruising or sometimes it’s a nerve that stops you.
Michael Ballack
At the end of the day I’m writing comedy. If you get too realistic as a comedy writer with your disasters, it stops being funny.
Simon Rich
The terrorists know what is at stake, which is why they are pulling out all the stops to derail our efforts. They understand that a free and democratic Iraq is a serious blow to their interests.
Elizabeth Dole
My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every no

My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every now and then she stops to breathe.
Jimmy Durante
How can we protect homeland security unless the government stops the invasion of illegal aliens?
Phyllis Schlafly
People often talk about the self-driving car and what will that do. In 32 states, the number one job is to be the driver. But remember, it’s not just the driver. Let’s think about the truck stops along the way. When you suddenly have a lot of other people who are dependent on those careers.
Julie Sweet
Don’t blame the marketing department. The buck stops with the chief executive.
John D. Rockefeller
I love funny people, and when I’m with funny people, or people who are amusing in their weirdness, I love it. Because that to me is funny, as opposed to someone who stops and says, ‘Hey let me tell you a joke.’
Paul Feig
A dark house is always an unhealthy house, always an ill-aired house, always a dirty house. Want of light stops growth and promotes scrofula, rickets, etc., among the children. People lose their health in a dark house, and if they get ill, they cannot get well again in it.
Florence Nightingale
I was Corinne Bailey. I added on Rae, my husband’s name, when I got married. There’s no hyphen. Stops it being posh!
Corinne Bailey Rae
I have a mind that never stops working. As a matter of fact, it torments me.
Clinton Sparks
There is a large number of people who see immigration has been very positive and engaging with the world and cooperating is the future. It is the E.U. which stops us doing that sensibly and intelligently.
Munira Mirza
You can have an ankle or shoulder injury, and in six or eight months, you’re healed. But if the heart stops for a few moments, that’s it.
Nwankwo Kanu
As far as writing, I like watching bad movies. Nothing stops me in my tracks more than watching a great film like ‘The Godfather’ or ‘Dog Day Afternoon’ or ‘The Graduate.’ You watch one of those, and you never want to write again. Whereas with bad movies, it makes you think, If that counts, I certainly could write.
Jason Reitman
Things can be funny when people are uneasy. It softens them up and stops them falling asleep on the sofa. I like those moments where people half-smile and half-wince.
Mark Haddon
I am very interested in what has been called bad taste. I believe the fear of displaying a soi-disant bad taste stops us from venturing into special cultural zones.
Manuel Puig
I think my recognizability ebbs and flows. I don’t lead a particularly celebrity lifestyle or anything like that. I don’t go to showbiz parties or red-carpet events, so it all depends on whether I’ve got a film out. I’ve not been very visible in the last year or so and as a result hardly anyone stops me in the street.
James McAvoy
Pukki has a bit of everything, which makes him a complete striker. He times his runs well, is very intelligent in his positioning, runs hard, presses opponents and never stops moving.
Jorginho
Getting bogged down in old stories stops the flow of learning by censoring our perceptions, making us functionally deaf and blind to new information. Once the replay button gets pushed, we no longer form new ideas or conclusions – the old ones are so cozy.
Martha Beck
Every time I get caught on the subway around 3 or 4 during the school year, it’s definitely dicey. I get a lot of like – ‘Yo, are you that girl?’ Then I have to go eight stops with them.
Su-chin Pak
If I have to travel, I’m going to travel my way and travel in the real world. And I’m going to have conversations every day with people in rest stops and people in gas stations and people in hotels and diners. That nourishes me.
Neil Peart
I truly believe that writing is a continuum – so the different genres and forms are simply stops along the same continuum. Different ideas that need to be expressed sometimes require different forms for the ideas to float better. I don’t write essays as often as I should.
Chris Abani
If you had a really good – battery, it wouldn’t matter that the sun goes down at night and the wind stops blowing sometimes. But at the moment, battery technology is nowhere near good enough to use at utility scale.
Nathan Myhrvold
If you’re truly serious about your physique and health, in totality, I think you need to pull out all stops. You need to really just hone in on that warrior within.
Luke James
My best friend growing up was a truck driver, and it was big in truck stops. He’d have his ‘Deadwood’ DVDs, and they’d watch them in the lounge.
W. Earl Brown
I’m not a one-hit wonder. When you look at my background, I think I’ve been successful at all stops along the way. I know the kind of responsibility it takes to be a head football coach.
Rex Ryan
I leave the genre labeling to other people. I really do. If I were to think too hard about it, that would stifle you creatively. If you think too hard about who other people want you to be as an artist, it stops you from being who you want to be as an artist.
Taylor Swift
The problem with revenge is that it never evens the score. It ties both the injured and the injurer to an escalator of pain. Both are stuck on the escalator as long as parity is demanded, and the escalator never stops.
Lewis B. Smedes
There have been many matches where a wrestler gets hurt. The referee usually senses it and stops the match, but the referee doesn’t always know.
Gene Okerlund
I envy the sensibility in Europe, appreciating beauty in women as they age. I’m going to go that way. I might dye my gray hair for a bit, but beyond that the buck stops. I’m not having any work done.
Rachel Bilson
When your child stops breathing 60 times a night, you don’t worry about what’s going on next year or even next week. You put aside thoughts about which preschool you’re going to enroll him in and focus on how he’s doing right now. It’s not the Norman Rockwell relationship that you sign on for when becoming a parent.
John C. McGinley
I feel the car, but I think with me and my background of dirt racing and stuff and not having pit stops, you just kind of ‘All right, this is how my car is handling, I’ve got to figure out how to drive it’ and then you get a feel of how you want it to feel.
Kyle Larson
The problem with all-or-nothing thinking is that it stops people even taking the first steps. The thought of never having pepperoni pizza again somehow turns into an excuse to keep ordering it every week.
Michael Greger
I don’t let people talk bad about Rick Ross around me. Like, you can’t do it. He owns – I’ve heard a legend – 30 Wing Stops in the areas he grew up near. You can never say anything about him. If that represents ten jobs per place, that’s 310 jobs provided.
Killer Mike
I've got to make some decisions just like any other pla

I’ve got to make some decisions just like any other player that has ever played this game, that eventually the clock stops, their basketball clock stops.
Alonzo Mourning
The problem with forbearance is that it always looks like a good thing to do until it stops working.
Raghuram Rajan
People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don’t have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning.
Steven Spielberg
A television serial should end when the story stops entertaining the audience.
Rohini Hattangadi
I think Khabib is going to take him down immediately, or create some kind of scramble immediately. I don’t think Poirier stops his takedowns.
Justin Gaethje
I don’t stick to a routine, because I like to mix things up, which stops training becoming boring and helps shock muscles into firing up.
Ant Middleton
Sometimes an opponent stops breathing, and you realise something drastic has happened and they are trying not to let on. Or they go quiet, or they get fidgety. After a while you pick these things up and become more alert to them.
Viswanathan Anand
I don’t want people poking around in my private stuff. They’ve no business in it. My work is what I give to people, that’s my job, and that’s where it stops.
Brendan Gleeson
One of the places the full stop is really being revised in a really fundamental way is on the Internet. You look at the Internet or any instant messaging exchange – anything that is a fast dialogue taking place. People simply do not put full stops in unless they want to make a point.
David Crystal
If you want to grow a giant redwood, you need to make sure the seeds are ok, nurture the sapling, and work out what might potentially stop it from growing all the way along. Anything that breaks it at any point stops that growth.
Elon Musk
I’m a very restless person. I’m always doing something. The creative process never stops.
Oscar de la Renta
One can only become a philosopher, but not be one. As one believes he is a philosopher, he stops being one.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Without – you know, good intelligence stops plots against the homeland. Without that intelligence, we cannot effectively stop it.
Michael McCaul
There’s two kinds of rock n’ roll casualty: the one that has huge success and adoration, and then suddenly it stops. Or there’s when you’re in a band: it is all-consuming, so then you have the dream of that, and then the dream’s taken away from you even before it happens.
Rhys Ifans
That’s my suggestion for kids who want to act, by the way: Make sure it’s really your choice, get out of it when it stops being fun, and get an education.
Mara Wilson
Besides interrupting more serious criminal activity, intensive misdemeanor enforcement and proactive street stops send the message to criminals and law-abiding residents alike that the rule of law is still in effect in troubled neighborhoods and that the police are watching.
Heather Mac Donald
I understand the worries of many – not only here in this auditorium -, and some have already written to me to say that technical progress has lowered the threshold that stops people from helping themselves to protected works without the slightest embarrassment.
Johannes Rau
Tackle the difficult things first in the morning; make changes in the way you network. Treat everyone with respect and dignity. This stops you from cynicism and negativity. End your day with that same attitude you started. Renew your contract with a day well completed.
Rick Pitino
When there is a World Cup the world stops, the country stops, everyone is hugging each other, whether old or young, everyone stops just to enjoy the football.
Hulk
I want to keep doing what I’m doing and see how far I can go. See when it stops. See what the end is like. I want to make this moment last as long as I can make it. If I miss a day, I’m afraid I’ll miss out on a smash record.
Future
Changing laws and changing the political dialogue, while necessary, is insufficient to ensure that bullying stops; to ensure that every young person is supported by their parents and their teachers as they question who they are and they discover who they are regardless of the sexuality.
Chelsea Clinton
The federal helium program sells vast amounts of the gas to U.S. companies that use it in everything from party balloons to MRI machines. If the government stops, no one else is ready.
David Fahrenthold
One of the most beautiful things about Shakespeare’s Hamlet is when he stops in the middle of the play to ask, ‘To be or not to be?’ Then, right at the end, he decides to ‘let be.’ The first season of ‘Stranger Things’ was Hopper asking whether ‘to be or not to be’ and the second is to ‘let be.’
David Harbour
I’m not saying I do evil things. I’m just saying if a cop stops me when I’m speeding, sometimes – not all the time – I might get out of that ticket. Let’s just say I don’t have any points on my licence in Ireland, and I drive relatively quickly.
Keith Barry
Talking about what any one section of our society has to do to combat racism just stops people outside that group asking difficult questions of themselves. We keep looking at symptoms and not treating the cause.
John Barnes
He is a very positive captain; he is proactive as well as reactive. He is keen to read the game, to get in there, and he never stops thinking about the game, the situation, and trying to turn it to his advantage. He has been very good for the game.
David Gower
The Fed’s buying is far more important to the market price of U.S. debt than any other economic variable. If the Fed stops buying, it doesn’t matter whether unemployment goes up or down. It doesn’t matter whether inflation is higher or lower. Its influence on the market is dominant.
Porter Stansberry
People think racist abuse stops on the football pitch, but that’s just the beginning. When you go home, you are still confronted with it. Football is just a magnifying glass of the real world.
Edgar Davids
No good actor ever stops learning. He is constantly evolving.
Mahesh Babu
Fear hems us in, stops us from thinking clearly, and prevents us from either challenging oppression or engaging calmly with the impersonal fates.
George Monbiot
If you have a good community behind you and a good family supporting you, then, when the buck stops with you, there is the strength of that community and that family to draw upon.
Janet Reno
My son, who is 7, he passed a car in a parking lot that

My son, who is 7, he passed a car in a parking lot that was probably a 1998 model, and he said, ‘Wow, Dad, look at that old car.’ I was looking around for an old car, and I realized that my old car maybe stops at 1965.
Henry Thomas
I remember that Jack Lemmon, who is one of my favorite actors of all time, says that the day he stops being nervous is the day he should leave the business.
Kim Basinger
When it’s your own name that is the business, the business never stops.
Nita Strauss
The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.
Bob Uecker
Being hummed at by someone with magic hands while they knead your neck is good for the soul, but it won’t make you giggle for days afterwards. In fact, the second the smiley therapist stops and says, ‘You can put your robe on now, the hour is up,’ the joy and wonder sort of leaves the room.
Claudia Winkleman
I’m not turning my back on music anytime soon, but it’s just a blessing to have options open. A lot of artists just have rap, and that’s it. But once rap stops, it’s hard to get into that Hollywood circle; it really is. It’s a whole ‘nother beast that people think they’re ready for, but they’re really not.
Bow Wow
The success of ‘Rome’ was in making the history accessible and giving viewers everyman characters through which they can connect to historical figures. It stops the story from being too remote.
Tobias Menzies
Down the years, I have always enjoyed playing Raymond van Barneveld. There is always a frisson of excitement in the air, an edge to the contest that makes the sap rise, but it stops short of pure enmity.
Phil Taylor
You don’t even realise how much you need Internet, but it really stops you from doing a lot.
Millie Bobby Brown
A good snapshot stops a moment from running away.
Eudora Welty
America, which has the most glorious present still existing in the world today, hardly stops to enjoy it, in her insatiable appetite for the future.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
That never stops. That’s what drives you: the joy and excitement of doing what you love.
Jerry Lewis
I have tried Botox, and I don’t like it because it stops you being able to move your facial muscles which, as an actress, are essential. But I do have collagen injections.
Kate O’Mara
Nothing ever stops me smiling, apart from getting beat in the ring.
Nicola Adams
It never stops. It’s 365 recruiting. That cell phone you’ve got, these smartphones are the death of college coaching.
Kirby Smart
It’s – I can’t imagine a world – the idea that every day Sarah Huckabee Sanders briefs, Donald Trump stops what he’s doing and turns on the TV and watches it while eating a Taco Bell or whatever he eats. And then she has to go into his office afterwards and get critiqued on it.
Daniel Pfeiffer
I think directing in a team is a really good idea because it stops the cult of the director as God straight away, and also you’re discussing things on set so it opens it out to everyone and it becomes a totally collaborative thing. And you have someone who supports you when you’re feeling a bit insecure.
Alan Cumming
Basically, I’ve found that if you have two films that don’t perform well, it doesn’t matter that you’ve had a bunch of successful ones. The phone stops ringing, and after ‘Deadly Blessing’ and ‘Swamp Thing,’ that’s what happened.
Wes Craven
My family get so mad at me when they come over. All I’ll have in is milk and eggs. I mainly keep film in my fridge – it’s better for it; it stops it from going old. I’m bad at eating healthy; I usually just run across the street and get cheeseburgers.
Gia Coppola
Boxing has kept me off the streets, stops me smoking and drinking and gives me something to do.
Billy Joe Saunders
I don’t think you can work properly if you have anxiety about something; it stops you doing the work you’re paid to do.
Shaun Evans
I think theatre is by far the most rewarding experience for an actor. You get 4 weeks to rehearse your character and then at 7:30 pm you start acting and nobody stops you, acting with your entire soul.
Christopher Eccleston
Western enthusiasm for democracy stops when those opposed to its policies are elected to office.
Tariq Ali
I had to be reminded that the guitar is infinite. It never stops teaching you, it never stops being difficult; there’s an unlimited amount of things to learn, and you’ll never master it.
Kaki King
For me to train and get ready for racing, I can’t just sit in the gym all the time and that’s the way it is. Responsibility starts and stops with me. My main gig is grand prix driving, that’s what I do and I need to keep that in the forefront of my mind.
Mark Webber
It’s great to understand football – it never stops. Since I started playing football, I always learn from every coach. It’s great.
David Luiz
My brain never stops thinking about basketball, and even when I’m asleep, I’m thinking about basketball. I love it; I love the Xs and Os and the preparation of it.
Penny Hardaway
The buck stops here!
Harry S Truman
When the uncreative tell the creative what to do, it stops being art.
Tony Bennett
Not everyone stops me on the streets, but when you’re at airports or public places like that. It’s kind of weird for me. I don’t know how they recognize me. It just happens when people see me.
Noah Schnapp
When the work stops the success stops.
Paul Wall
Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more

Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
Joyce Brothers
Directing is: you’re overwhelmed the whole time. Your mind never stops. If you care about it. You wake up in the morning and you begin thinking about it and then you go to sleep at night and you’re still thinking about it.
Campbell Scott
Living with fear stops us taking risks, and if you don’t go out on the branch, you’re never going to get the best fruit.
Sarah Parish
Most of the youngsters I grew up playing with do not have a career in the game now. Sometimes people think it is easy to be a footballer, but it is hard work that never stops.
Philippe Coutinho
I hate all politics. I don’t like either political party. One should not belong to them – one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking.
Ray Bradbury
The fear of losing makes you better because it stops you cruising.
Dani Alves
As a racing driver, everything you do is to get to Formula 1 and one day it stops.
Robert Kubica
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
Henry Ford
When one stops working at the height of one’s career, it’s just stupid not to say, ‘I want to make sure I have a house.’
Ali MacGraw
I never understood why movies don’t have to be as responsible, or the responsibility stops with Rated R. I feel like music, you gotta – you put the sticker on it, you make the clean version, then you’re explaining yourself, and then you have to do charities to offset what you just said. No one else has to do this!
Pusha T
But I have to say I’m incredibly proud of the Panther Racing National Guard Team, and in my IndyCar career there’s not many races where I’ve honestly left the track feeling that we’ve executed everything perfectly. And I have to say, I thought they did an absolute phenomenal job. The pit stops were just first class.
Dan Wheldon
I think when you start talking about money, it stops the whole creative process for me.
Nicola Formichetti
You’d be surprised at how many times I’d hit the ball, and the hair would go straight into my eyes. That’s why, even when I play indoors, I wear a visor, because it stops that, and I’ll apply a lot of gel and hairspray to keep it tight.
Ana Ivanovic
Brexit stops Britain from being Great Britain.
Layla Moran
Well, first of all it’s entertainment. That stops us becoming too pretentious or thinking we’re great artists.
Richard Thompson
I did record a bunch of stuff, but the thing that usually stops me from doing that is that I’m a terrible singer. I made a bunch of instrumental music, and it feels really good, but just as a singer, I’m not good.
Flea
Lionel Messi, I never saw him in the gym. I’ve never seen him train in the stops or do technical exercises.
Carlos Tevez
If a fighter thinks he knows everything and stops trying to evolve, he’s lost.
Jose Aldo
We need a Federal government that does what the government needs to do and stops doing what the government ought not to be doing.
Grover Norquist
Sometimes it’s hard to tell where your instincts start and your baggage stops.
Rory Freedman
About the only thing that’ll stay with you that you can trust all your life is your breath. Your breath will be there at the very last, because when it stops, you will stop.
Nick Nolte
I admire my boss, Lorne Michaels. He never stops producing. I think, for him, comedy is a tool of compassion, a way of rallying people together and saying, ‘Guys, isn’t the world bonkers? Aren’t we all just trying our best?’ There’s a tenderness in everything he does.
Kate McKinnon
If my one hand stops working, I won’t stop living my life. I will start using my other hand. Similarly, if one part of my life goes wrong, I won’t stop leading my life.
Shweta Tiwari
I don’t think about when it’s going to stop and what you do before it stops. You just keep moving.
Robert Redford
