Our sport has always had somewhat of a racist label to it.
The fact that my 15 minutes of fame has extended a little longer than 15 minutes is somewhat surprising to me and completely baffling to my wife.
The spiritual ambiguity growing up made me really latch onto a faith – Protestantism – that was somewhat conventional. Everyone else was rebelling against traditions and institutions, whereas I was rebelling against the upheaval and uncertainty in my family.
I find that I do my best work at the beginning of the day, but I’m rarely in a writing mood when I sit down. I’m usually somewhat sleep-deprived, and I always have a long list of other responsibilities calling my name.
We are used to female writers who use their private lives as unmitigated material being somewhat hormonal; this somehow ‘excuses’ what might be seen as a highly unfeminine ability to turn their personal upsets into money.
I’d like to be settled into somewhat of a normal life. Somewhat. I know it’s never going to be completely normal.
Of all the parts that make up my somewhat quirky life, there are few things that raise a stranger’s eyebrows faster than discovering I love country music.
I learned to speak Italian, somewhat. Definitely enough to get around in Italy. My grandfather always used to swear at my grandmother in Italian.
The golden age was when people were starting to understand what hip-hop was and how to use it. I was lucky to come up then. Everybody wanted to be original and have substance; it was somewhat conscious… There was an integrity that people respected.
I can’t get into the underlying psyche of someone like Robin Williams, but he was at that level of fame where he was somewhat self-protective.
Even if severe wounds are given, the Indian has many chances in his favor, for his organization is somewhat different from that of white men, and he recovers easily from wounds that would kill any European outright.
The news comes somewhat late, but I’m glad to hear it nevertheless.
I consider myself somewhat spiritual, but not practicing.
I think, like, Twitter is somewhat difficult sometimes, and it can be kind of negative.
I’ve roasted a somewhat frozen turkey, and it’s come out just fine.
Europeans have long had a complicated and somewhat insecure relationship with the US, part admiration, part jealousy, part irritation.
I grew up in New York till I was 5, and I remember going to see ‘Annie’ and some musicals as a kid, and I remember my parents being somewhat okay with us watching ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show,’ which, it boggles my mind that they allowed me to watch it.
When I’ve done somewhat scripted stuff, it feels a little flat. It feels like there’s not much life behind it.
Bill Veeck was a charismatic and somewhat eccentric owner-fan during the post-WWII years.
My mom is a very warm, typical sort of Jewish-mother type. And my dad has a somewhat, um, different personality.
I have a hard time with awards shows in general because I’ve never been part of the conversation. I just show up to work and do my job because I love the job and I love the people I get to make TV with. When someone wants to applaud it more than just watching it, that makes me somewhat uncomfortable.
I became somewhat reclusive during a period of time in the ’80s.
We know, in other words, the general conditions in which what we call, somewhat misleadingly, an equilibrium will establish itself: but we never know what the particular prices or wages are which would exist if the market were to bring about such an equilibrium.
I know it is a somewhat delicate matter to refuse a gift, but in this case the statue is so atrocious that every endeavour should be made to keep it out of the church.
In Germany, you have a huge official memorial to the murdered Jews and then you have this artist who’s been putting these stumbling blocks, these brass cobblestones, outside the houses Jews were taken away from. It’s somewhat controversial and has met some resistance.
When I wrote for Eazy, I wrote for the character. Everybody knew Eazy loved girls, so I would make him funny, even though it was somewhat misogynistic.
If the prime directives were followed a little more accurately here on earth, I mean it sounds somewhat Pollyanna, but I think people would certainly get along better.
I would break a lot of cymbals. You whack the cymbals hard enough, and they will crack in half. Drums are not actually as sturdy as they look. They’re actually somewhat fragile instruments.
The things that churned inside Daredevil were deeply religious, somewhat guilt-driven traces of the messianic, with his powers being a compensation for and driven by the vulnerability of being blind. Green Arrow is not driven by dark forces.
Man, I’m a conspiracy theorist by nature. You can’t experience the federal penal system and not be somewhat skeptical.
My books are shelved in different places, depending on the bookstore. Sometimes they can be found in the Mystery section, sometimes in the Humor department, and occasionally even in the Literature aisle, which is somewhat astounding.
I was a halfback on an American football team in Athens, Greece – the Kississia Colts – where I went to high school, and we took the Cup my senior year. The downside, and somewhat unfortunate piece of information I have to pass on, is there were only two teams in the league because of the limited amount of Americans.
The first pages of memory are like the old family Bible. The first leaves are wholly faded and somewhat soiled with handling. But, when we turn further, and come to the chapters where Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise, then, all begins to grow clear and legible.
Everyone in China knows The Topics. The television stations and newspapers run the same state-generated stories all across the country, and the Chinese form their opinions based on these somewhat controlled sources.
I am somewhat surprised to have employees.
I’m somewhat of a solitary person.
A folk melody can exist uniquely but also still be somewhat familiar to you.
Writers always have confidence issues – it comes with the territory. We never know where we fit in, or what the actual value of our work might be. So we hit lulls, or slogs. Throw in the idea that many creative people are somewhat manic-depressive, and it can get pretty dark at times.
I was somewhat of a mute at school, so people were quite scared!
I was very shy and somewhat awkward. I studied too hard. And to have this exciting dorm life was a whole new thing.
I like to remain somewhat anonymous. I could never handle the whole Britney Spears syndrome of being noticed everywhere.
My son was born somewhat late in my life and I just found myself really feeling like I didn’t want to miss out on being a parent and being with him, and not wanting a situation where I was constantly pulled back and forth between being present, and having all these other pressures and considerations.
I have been attacked by Rush Limbaugh on the air, an experience somewhat akin to being gummed by a newt. It doesn’t actually hurt, but it leaves you with slimy stuff on your ankle.
I jabbered too much in class about all the Russian writers whom I admired for being, among other things, uncouth and somewhat humorously melodramatic, such as Gogol and Dostoyevsky, just as it was in my own household when I was growing up.
My observance as a practicing Muslim in the NBA is somewhat uncommon. Since joining the league in 2011, my dedication to my faith has aroused the curiosity of teammates, coaches, trainers and fans.
Gravy Train!!!! started out as a joke where we’d crash parties and be really obnoxious, and then somehow we got somewhat famous, and it was really weird.
Now that I know how supermarket meat is made, I regard eating it as a somewhat risky proposition. I know how those animals live and what’s on their hides when they go to slaughter, so I don’t buy industrial meat.
It’s actually difficult to know what anyone wants these days. Tastes seem to change so quickly nowadays depending on the latest blog. The latest Facebook page. Twitter is somewhat important in telling you what you should want.
It’s a fast-paced somewhat violent sport, but it’s very much entertaining. And the greatest thing about mixed martial arts is that it transcends a lot of demographics.
There is a sense in which we have – like, I go in to teach a class; I may be somewhat different than I would be talking to you, although it’s related because it’s public. I’m very different with my roommate or my lover or my cats. But I don’t know if that means you’re acting, really, if you’re being truthful.
For myself, I can only say that I am astonished and somewhat terrified at the results of this evening’s experiments. Astonished at the wonderful power you have developed, and terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record forever.
And this thesis is somewhat connected with general social and political observations, because it establishes the fact that the number of consumers is considerably larger than the number of producers, a fact which exercises a not inconsiderable social and political pressure.
My parents are older, and they lead a somewhat sheltered life. It was difficult to talk with them about things that were embarrassing to me, and that I had never spoken to them about.
