Saturday Night Live is hitting me on a regular basis again. This is my fourth decade that I’ve been lampooned on Saturday Night Live.
I did speak to a counsellor after hitting rock bottom. It really did help, talking to somebody that didn’t know me and just pouring my heart out to them in a few sessions.
The key to performing a song isn’t always about hitting the right notes, but about telling a story.
I am more valuable to my team hitting .330 then swinging for home runs.
I’ve always had a knack for hitting the mark perfectly. Even when I’m walking or running, I’m very good at not having to look down.
I’m very tech-forward. However, I also think hitting the pause button is not a bad thing, and really connecting with people one-to-one viscerally, having a connection with someone, is really important.
Golf, tennis, I think we respect one another and the crowd. If you see golf tournaments, as well, on the side, no one’s yelling, no one’s talking. There’s a lot of quiet there before someone is hitting the swing or stroke. So is tennis. It’s a very respectful sport.
Hitting’s the hardest thing to do in sports.
If I’m hitting 3-wood and everyone else is hitting driver, it’s a level playing field. If I’m hitting driver straight, then I think I’m playing at a different level than everybody else.
When I am performing live, I walk into a room, and I just try to get a feel for the vibe, and I am coming from different angles musically. I might come with a new song, I might come with some hip-hop, with some R&B. Once I find my way, then I am hitting you, and hitting you all night.
Where I am from in Sweden was on the beach, so I love the sound of the water hitting the dock.
When you start off a T20 innings you want someone who is going to be hitting the top of off stump, causing problems and being quite disciplined with the ball.
For me, the worst part of playing golf, by far, has always been hitting the ball.
Sometimes I feel like hitting somebody. You look at the refs and they say, ‘We’ll take care of it.’ I think, ‘Yeah? You won’t take care of it the way I’d like to take care of it.’
When me and my brother Eagle-Eye were kids, life was about hitting the road, getting on the bus. We loved it.
My father cared a lot about me, but he never gave me the satisfaction of really knowing it. Hitting .390 wasn’t enough for him. Nothing seemed to be. He was not trying to be mean. He was just seeing to it that I never got self-satisfied, that I worked hard to get the most out of what I had.
In Cuba, I would start the first two months hitting around .260 with three or four home runs. After the first half of the season, I would get hot, and that’s when I would have my best results.
Pitching is 80% of the game and the other half is hitting and fielding.
America is the only major country that tries to ascertain who was the first applicant to invent the product or procedure. This may seem fair, but long proceedings to determine precisely when each party conceived an idea result mostly in keeping innovations from hitting the market.
That’s what I hate about a lot of comedies, when you’re hitting a line or making it funny.
I always make a joke about this but it’s true; Conor can make a highlight video of training hard and like, ‘Alright guys, title shot. Give the man a title shot.’ People will be saying ‘look what he is doing, look at the way he is hitting the bag, look at the way, I don’t know, he is pushing himself in the wheelchair.’
Everyone always says don’t take your defense into hitting and don’t take your hitting into defense. If you feel comfortable at one of the other, I think the other is going to feed off the other.
Like millions of others, I have been plagued by the devastating effects of cancer hitting not one, but multiple members of my family.
Hitting is the most important part of the game. It is where the big money is, where much of the status is, and the fan interest.
In football, you’re hitting, so you might as well hit in practice.
I think, obviously, there’s a bunch of technology with TrackMan, and all of the different launch monitors, that help tell you what is best. But, for me, it’s a lot about what is going to come out from that initial window of hitting that ball.
There’s so much attached to playing shortstop that you lose your concentration on hitting, unless you’re a natural hitter. There’s so much to think about in the field, you don’t have time to think about what you did at the plate last time. ‘How did he get me out?’
You know, I still love the innocent parts of the game. I love hitting tennis balls. I love seeing the young guys do well. I’ll still have a lot of friends to watch. I’ll miss the relationships probably the most. As time passes, I’ll probably miss the tennis more.
It’s bad timing, but a lot of kids become teenagers just as their parents are hitting their mid-life crisis. So everybody’s miserable and confused and seeking that new sense of identity.
The thing is athletes get more confidence the more they race, the more they are hitting personal targets – it just gives you confidence.
Bombing the Murrah Federal Building was morally and strategically equivalent to the U.S. hitting a government building in Serbia, Iraq, or other nations.
The state of radio is not great. It’s like playing the lottery. The chances of hitting are mind boggling slim.
I had quite a few jobs in Paris before hitting the jackpot and writing cookbooks. One of them was peeling vegetables and prepping other veggie delights at Bob’s Juice Bar.
Loneliness and rootlessness are just symptoms of an insecurity that assails us all when hitting this midlife moment. The world appears intent on blanking you out.
One of the things I like most about Roufusport is, really, the culture. A lot of times, you’re training in fight camps and running and hitting mitts and sparring. Those things get old kind of quick. I like the fact that they allow fun into the room.
It’s all about starting momentum, hitting the ground running, and starting out hot.
You can be Michael Moore and make ‘Fahrenheit 9/11,’ but that’s hitting people over the head, and a lot of Americans don’t like to be hit over the head. I want to make films that make people walk out and say, ‘Wow, I really question if this is all right.’
We keep waiting for the American people to wake up, and they keep hitting the snooze bar. But something, folks, someday, will wake them up. Of that I’m confident.
It doesn’t matter what the scoreboard says. I’m always having fun, talking to other guys. They even come to first base and ask me about hitting. I try to help them out as much as I can in the 30 seconds before the pitcher throws the next pitch. That’s me. I don’t think I will ever change that.
It’s hard to believe a kid hitting golf balls in the cow pastures of New Mexico could have accomplished what I have accomplished.
When you get one blocked and another partially blocked, you’ve got to see if you’re hitting them low or what.
I felt like, by the end of the week in the U.S. Amateur, I was never aiming at a flag; I was just hitting it at slopes and just letting the natural contours take over.
Wiffle ball was my first experience hitting left-handed.
New York is really the cheapest ad market. When I go on TV, I’m hitting a country. The market is as big as some countries, you know.
This kind of music was just hitting England, so we were getting this following in clubs in Birmingham just cause we were trying to do something different.
When I’m not hitting the books or on the court working, I like to help out around my community.
With Yo Gotti ‘Rack It Up,’ that was him hitting me like, bro, I’m about to put out a single next month, I want you to produce it.
There are certain things I can’t do, certain pitches I can’t hit. You stay away from them. You try to wait for pitches you can hit. The bat speed isn’t what it used to be. You make up for it by using your head, working counts, getting ahead in counts and getting pitches to hit and hitting them hard.
I get the normal stats, like tackles and pass completion and high-intensity runs. I get them after every game to see how similar they are to every game and to make sure I’m hitting the targets – or not too far away from them.
There’s nothing more fun than standing at the plate and hitting the ball really hard, see the ball go over the fence. It’s really a satisfying feeling. It always makes you feel like you’re doing your job.
I once told a date, ‘I love what you’re wearing!’ She replied, ‘Aw, thanks. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. Yours means the most though!’ She didn’t need to tell me guys were hitting on her – my imagination went there anyway.
The game itself, I think, plays into the strength of my game, which has always been tee to green, hitting the ball consistently in play and managing my game. Putting has always been the one thing that’s been a bit more erratic.
It makes common sense that children, whose brains are rapidly developing, should not be hitting their heads hundreds of times per season.
There are pictures of me in the garden at the age of one with a little plastic club. I had no concept of golf but I loved hitting the ball. I could do it all day. Only when I got to five was I playing every day though.
There’s some times where I wish I would strike out instead of hitting a little dribbler. I wish sometimes I gave myself a true swing, a true whack at it, instead of going in the dugout like, ‘I didn’t give my best effort.’
