Whoever’s hitting in front of you or behind you is going to determine how you get pitched, but there’s nothing you can do.
I just try to be the same guy each and every day and just do something when we’re hitting or make a nice defensive play or run the bases. Just trying to be consistent in that way.
I love the feel of hitting the ball hard, the pleasure of a rally. It is these things that make tennis the delightful game that it is.
Once you have an animal, you have to commit to it. They need a sense of freedom, but, of course, they must have some boundaries. I am against hitting them though; just send the vibe and that will do it.
I didn’t get much time in between wrapping up ‘Shakeela’ and commence the shoot for ‘Kaagaz.’ With whatever time I had on my hands, I did my best to look the part. Instead of hitting the gym, I took up an organic approach to lose weight. I also cut down on oily and junk food and had small meals in between shoots.
When you start hitting some shots, you build some confidence.
He could not see a belt without hitting below it.
I don’t want to act like hitting homers isn’t a great feeling, because it is.
The NFL today has bigger, stronger, bodies than ever, moving faster than ever, hitting a stationary object harder than ever before – so the physics of the hit have changed.
In the nets, Joe Root hits the most sixes. He tries to take us down all the time. I think everyone is capable of hitting big sixes and I think I’m the best of all of them. But Jos is the one guy that everyone knows is out front. Jos is power with timing.
Hitting is like swimming. Once you learn the stroke, you never forget it.
The key is to hit the ball first, then the sand. Even if you catch it a bit thin, you’ll still get plenty of run. Hitting it fat is what you want to avoid.
Ultimately, at the end of it, it’s just trying to get into that space where you feel like you’re hitting the right thing and you’re making music. And it feels intuitive rather than being counterintuitive.
There’s a lot of cruelty going on all the time, and I’m not just talking about inter-human cruelty. I’m talking about whole species becoming extinct, asteroids hitting planets, black holes gobbling up stars.
I have a small room to write in. One wall is completely covered in books. And I face the window with the curtain closed to stop the light hitting the computer.
No one knew what Rodney King had done beforehand to be stopped. No one realized that he was a parolee and that he was violating his parole. No one knew any of those things. All they saw was this grainy film and police officers hitting him over the head.
I’m always looking for that movie that feels like it’s hitting me where I need it.
For the first time in evolution as a species, we’re hitting an energy ceiling.
We need to see many more people starting businesses and becoming their own boss, but the squeezed middle exists as much within this group as in the population at large as rising costs are hitting small businesses – who after all are consumers too.
A lot of hitters stay away from the plate, some are close up, some are forward, some are back. The thing about hitting is this: You have to know the strike zone. That’s the most important thing. Hit strikes and put the bat on the ball.
I thought me hitting you and you not hitting me and me making you miss and even throwing more than you means that I won a fight.
I don’t know what was in his mind, but I do know Ford was stricken by what he had done, by hitting me.

I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?

If I found the cure for dystrophy tomorrow, I would do a telethon in four weeks for acute pain that in this country is a bigger problem than cancer, heart, sickle cell, anemia, name it. It is – it’s hitting 70 million Americans.
I can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a reporter.
It’s not hard. When I’m not hitting, I don’t hit nobody. But when I’m hitting, I hit anybody.
But, I would say when I was four years old and I was at the Alan King Tennis Tournament and I was hitting with all the pros that would come to town. They would get me on the court or take notice and that stayed with me.
My music, it’s hitting the real people. It’s hitting the mums, it’s hitting the blokes and the lads, it’s also hitting the kids and the people my age.
My first year of pro ball I played in the Northwest league and made the all-star team, and the next year I played I led the team in hitting and was third or fifth in the league.

I don’t want to be hitting one day then not hitting my shots the next day.
When you’re not hitting and they’re making good pitches, it’s hard.
When you’re hitting a fairway wood, you’ve got a lot of real estate to cover to get to your target. Your first instinct is probably to give it a little more power because you’re worried about coming up short.
Hitting the ball was easy. Running around the bases was the tough part.
Once I hit 25, people started asking me about marriage and kids all the time. I remember hitting 35 and some would ask the same questions with a strange tone, as if my life was somehow over because I hadn’t yet settled into their version of happiness.

A band like Depeche Mode would go out and record them hitting a trash can with a steel rod or something and recording it. And that would be one of their sounds of the drums. I love the creativeness of that kind of really raw sampling.
I don’t know if I spent any time on a putting green when I was a kid. I was too busy hitting driver.
Hitting is business. With two strikes you really protect that plate.
Anytime you got me hitting jump shots, you can’t do nothing but feed off me.
Superstorm Sandy inflicted havoc and heartache throughout the Northeast, hitting the Big Apple and its surrounding coastal towns hard.
I’ve hit 1, 2 and surprisingly I’ve hit 3 most of my life. Not that I’m going to be hitting 3, but I feel like those are three really different positions in the lineup. And I feel like I’ve done all of them. I know what’s expected at each one of those, and I feel like you can take that experience away.
There’s a marked difference between a sexual predator, coercion tactics, and a man hitting on someone with the intention dating/wanting to get to know a girl he likes, however awkward, unpolished it may be.

To be the best, you need to spend hours and hours and hours running, hitting the speed bag, lifting weights and focusing on training.
Before a show, I usually give myself two-and-a-half hours to get ready. I prepare my shoes first. New ballet pumps can sound like tap shoes. You have to take the noise out of them by hitting them against stone. It takes half an hour to do each pair, and I can go through three pairs in one night.
I deliberately keep myself apart from a lot of stuff; I don’t Tweet, I don’t do Facebook, I don’t blog, and that’s largely because I spend my working life staring at a screen and hitting a keyboard, I am trying to cut down on that, not increase it.
I do not want to be a player who is known for hitting those 20-odd runs.
I’m substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They’re sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they’re hitting back and forth.
Here on Earth, we’re exposed to asteroids hitting the Earth, eventual changes in the Sun, changes in the Earth’s climate, things we’re doing to the Earth’s climate. If we want to survive, we need to become a multi-planet species. That’s further down the road, but the first wave is going to be the explorers.
