I like that the pitcher hits. I think that my feeling is that everybody should play a position. In order to hit, you have to play a position. That’s just my view of it. I feel that’s more baseball, and the games are managed different. I enjoy the National League, how it’s played.
The difference between sentiment and being sentimental is the following: Sentiment is when a driver swerves out of the way to avoid hitting a rabbit on the road. Being sentimental is when the same driver, when swerving away from the rabbit, hits a pedestrian.

Our best hits are real-estate stories, going back to our first, JoJo in 1991.
I feel like the thing we can do is celebrate people doing great work and create more cultural momentum and awareness that this is an important thing in the world. So when the next economic crisis hits and people are talking about where to cut from the budget, science isn’t the thing.

I crave ideas, and when an idea hits me, it grips me and it tortures me until I master it.

When people say they take hits and flops in their stride, I personally feel that they are just lying. Of course, I’m upset when my movies flop. I take it very personally.
When I’m making songs, I never call them hits. I knew ‘Bandz A Make Her Dance’ was a good record, but I never knew it was gonna be a hit.
Usually, the things that are quickly slapped together become the big hits, rather than the ones you would painstakingly deliberate on.
It’s the emotion of it that hits me, more than anything technical.

I have a pet peeve about bands that don’t play their hits. I think it’s kind of selfish.
I’m not one of those spoiled rock stars who complains about how tedious it is to perform my old hits.
I’m a strange person – I don’t really get rewards out of how many hits I have on YouTube. I love it, and I’m grateful, and it’s important to me. But does it equal peace within me? No, it doesn’t.
Even after nine flops, an actor will get his tenth film. But, if a director gives a flop after nine hits, he will not get another film. That is the way the industry functions.
I think maybe the vehicle for me was ‘Sam Cooke’s Greatest Hits.’ It has a song called, ‘Touch the Hem of His Garment.’ Do you know that song? I kind of got obsessed with that song and started exploring and getting more of his old recordings with the Soul Stirrers and really getting into that super, super deeply.
When you’re doing things like Glastonbury main stage, and there’s 80,000 people and your hits are going off, it’s at those moments you sit back and breathe and take it in, man, cos it might never happen again.

Tennis is a mental game. Everyone is fit, everyone hits great forehands and backhands.
The Small Faces are thought to be a one-hit wonder in America because we only had ‘Itchycoo Park.’ Then the Faces just had ‘Stay with Me.’ So both bands could be considered one-hit wonders in America, even though we had several huge hits in England.
With the kind of power that I have – no one hits as hard as I do in the featherweight division.
After a certain point of time, life’s practicality hits you. So I got into theatre, did stage plays and worked along with Naseeruddin Shah and Nana Patekar, people who are committed to the craft part.
Scandal rarely toured after those first few hits. I want to go out and sing and connect with fans who may have never seen us live.
Everyone knows Earth, Wind & Fire. We know ‘September,’ all the big sort of hits from going out and dancing and stuff. When I was developing St. Lucia, I really started listening a little bit deeper, listening back to their stuff from the ’70s and ’80s, and really dug into it.
It begins with the kind of story the writers want to tell. We never sit around in those retreats and say, ‘We really need to make a change. Let’s change this character.’ Or throw a dart at the wall and see what hits. It all begins with story.

A plate of food hits the table, lands right in front of you. One of two things happens. Either you sit up and look at it and react to it, or nothing happens. If nothing happens then that restaurant is stuck in mediocrity forever.
It is a question whether, when we break a murderer on the wheel, we do not fall into the error a child makes when it hits the chair it has bumped into.

It’s a trip to have a Greatest Hits record. It’s a trip.
