My mother never said to lose weight. Diets were never a big deal. My mom was always beautiful and voluptuous and curvy, and I always thought she was gorgeous.
There’s no relationship to the narrative anymore. People want their own interpretation of history. We’re compartmentalizing, forgetting what came directly before, like it’s not a big deal. That, to me, is a crime.
Frank’s bands could play the hardest stuff and make it seem like no big deal.

When ‘Rookie Blue’ began, I was so proud to be a Canadian on a Canadian show that was getting fans in America. I’m so used to working on American projects with Americans, it was a big deal for me to be on a show that showcases our talent… our ‘peeps.’
It’s a big deal when you have got to fire the deputy director of the FBI because he lies four times, twice under oath.

I think I’m insecure about what every girl is insecure about, looks and stuff like that, but it’s not a big deal.

For anyone who says ‘Who cares if you’re gay? It’s 2018,’ well, a lot of people care because a lot of people had the opportunity to be out, and there’s been a lot of fear surrounding it. This is the first time we’re seeing representation, and because of that, it is a big deal.
Personally, getting into college was a big deal because I realized it’s probably one of the only things I’ve fully planned. The rest of my life has been, for the most part, a nice little happy accident. I’m glad that it happened this way, but it’s nonetheless unintentional.
Anger has been a really big deal for women: how can we express it without feeling that, as the physically weaker sex, we won’t get killed. The alpha-woman was burned at the stake and had her head chopped off in days of old.
When you first get into television it is a big deal, then you realize you are no better than anyone else, we just have a platform to use, to help other people. I use that platform for the work I do in the military, the work I do with cancer because I was fortunate enough to get that platform.
I don’t want to go around like some kind of bleeding giant or whatever, or thinking I’m a big deal, because it doesn’t help you do your work. I think people like Hemingway got into an awful lot of trouble that way.

I went to work at 11 years old. I became governor. It’s not a big deal. Work doesn’t hurt anybody. I’m all for not allowing a 12-year-old to work 40 hours. But a 12-year-old working eight to 10 hours a week or a 14-year-old working 12 to 15 hours a week is not bad.
It’s a big deal to get to the NCAA Tournament.
It’s no big deal if I disappoint strangers.

When a PR person asks why is it a big deal that they got your name wrong or sent you a pitch on something you would never cover, it’s because when you get hundreds of those a day, it’s incredibly annoying.

I went to theater school in Toronto for four years and grew up around actors, and things like headshots could cost you from $500 to $1,000. That can be a big deal for a struggling artist.
The whole idea of Hogmanay is part of your life growing up in Scotland. It’s a big deal. It’s one of the biggest celebrations ever. It was always about ‘Where you going? What are you doing?’
When I was a youth, to be called ‘African’ was a diss. At school, the African kids used to lie and say they were Jamaican. So when I first came in the game, and I’m saying lyrics like, ‘I make Nigerians proud of their tribal scars/ My bars make you push up your chest like bras,’ that was a big deal for me.

Well, it’s a badge of honour for any self-respecting poet to be criticized by Auberon Waugh. But in a lot of ways my poems are very conventional, and it’s no big deal for me to write a poem in either free verse or strict form; modern poets can, and do, do both.
If you’re going to play high school football, you do it in Texas or Florida or Georgia for the simple fact it’s such a big deal.
I was 10 years old playing football against guys who were 12 and 13 years old, and it doesn’t sound that big, but back then when you’re 10 going up against preteens, it’s a big deal. So even at that young age, my dad has always challenged me and made sure I not only put out my best, but I was going up against the best.
We had no preconceived ideas. We were on this football team to go out and win ballgames and try to win a championship, that’s all. To Brian and me, it was no big deal.

First of all, when I was making the decision, I never thought that Pittsburgh fans would want me back. Every time I played there, they were booing me every time I touched the puck. I didn’t think it would be such a big deal that I didn’t sign with Pittsburgh.
Making sure that people have access to preventive medicine for the first time ever as a nation? That’s a big deal.
