I can go to sleep when my head hits the pillow. When I get phone calls from my factory in the middle of the night, I can go right back to sleep on a dime.
We live in a country where John Lennon takes eight bullets, Yoko Ono is walking right beside him and not one hits her. Explain that to me!
The batsman does not always need to create big hits. He can hit a boundary, then pick up some singles and still gets nine runs. To avoid that, I need to plan in a way where he must look to hit wherever there is a fielder. That is what is called ‘bowling to the field.’
Buying a matching blouse and skirt from the same store is a crime. A clever mix of chic and cheap hits the jackpot. Know how to mix styles and labels.
In Hollywood, the rainbow hits the ground for composers.
The biggest problem is always getting hits. That’s the one thing that has never changed. The way of delivering music has changed, the way of listening to it has changed, the way of distributing it has changed, but it’s always the music.
I’ve learned that, bizarrely, I enjoy having a fight. Obviously nobody likes getting hit, but I don’t have a problem with it. In MMA you’ve got to take a few hits to reach the right position.
I listened to oldies radio stations as a kid; lots of Kinks and Beatles and ’50s hits.
There’s certain artists who are loyal and certain ones don’t really care and don’t give you the opportunity to follow through with them again. I’m insulted by a lot of the artists I delivered hits to.
In my experience, sometimes a movie just hits at the wrong time, gets the wrong press, or gets the wrong representation, and it gets misunderstood.
You learn more from the flops than from the hits.
I’m worried about our sport. Our sport, we’ve taken a lot of hits as a sport.
What people want on a Sunday morning is not to be in the breaking news fray. They want someone to call hits and misses, and to bring context and perspective and to be even-handed.
There was nothing extraordinary about the work I was doing as a composer though I had delivered hits.
I believe there is lot of untapped potential in the television market. With shows such as ‘Bigg Boss’ and ’24’ turning out to big hits on TV, I’m interested to be in it.
Where I grew up in the middle of Georgia, hip-hop is king, and on Friday and Saturday nights, local DJs do mixes. It’s a great mix of local stuff and then some of the bigger hits and remixes of the hits, and it just has this nice flow with a dirty-South sound to everything.
I hope I am offered good roles and all my releases are hits.
Baseball loyalists cite the game’s legendary numbers – 300 wins, 500 homers, 3,000 hits – as evidence of the sport’s elegance, beauty, and gravitas. What no one mentions is how wretched and painful it is to actually watch a former star gasp and sputter his way toward a legendary number.
I think what’s important to understand is if the United States hits the debt ceiling and is unable to pay its debts, the consequences will be immediate and dramatic.
As foreign attacks increase, it’s easy to treat them like bad weather happening somewhere else. It’s what we read over breakfast. But when that storm hits your shores, remember this: Wishful thinking never saved a single life. The truth, however, has.
Who needs to graduate from Central Saint Martins in London or New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology when a homemade outfit can go viral on YouTube with millions of hits?
I didn’t set out to write pop hits.
In England, people get bored very quickly. People aren’t satisfied with one thing. You can have hits, but to stay there you have to start doing new things.
Asian food is very easy to like because it hits your mouth very differently than European food does. In European food, there may be two things to hit – maybe sweet and salty, maybe salty-savory, but Asian kind of works around, plus you have that distinct flavor that’s usually working in Asian food.
First and foremost I have to look at the film from an audience point of view. Yes, one has to see the story from an actor’s point of view as well so that you can showcase performance as well. However before that, I need to ensure hits.
‘Wicked’ has been one of the biggest hits in Los Angeles theatre history, and we are thrilled that theatergoers here have embraced the musical and welcomed us so heartily.
I get tips from Bob Gaudio. And one of my songs somehow caught the attention of one of my idols, Marty Panzer, who wrote big hits for Barry Manilow. So two guys who inspired me to write lyrics are now teaching me to write.
Every piece of entertainment is made with the idea that ‘This is going to be terrific’ and ‘This is the best thing I’ve ever done’ and then it hits the public and then the public tells you whether it’s good or bad.
Number one, from a tackling standpoint, we teach strike zone hits, and we want to hit absolutely as hard as we can in that strike zone, and that’s absolutely what we call a batter in the batters box from the chest all the way down to the knees.
I think it’s that thing of growing up all the time watching American movies and listening to American music. It hits you in a way that’s a lot purer because you are not in that culture that you’re watching.
It’s such a stupid thing to sign a band and then demand a hit right away to instantly recoup the money. The point is, you have to do it by building your own following, and that is not necessarily done by writing instant hits.
I try to be careful to not just say it’s a greatest hits show because we’ve also made efforts to keep people up to date so to speak because we continually write and record and put out albums.
With The Guess Who, it took us fifty-something singles before we had hits.
Life hits you hard. But it takes you three seconds to decide if you are a superhero or not. I am.
My #1 job as a thriller author is to give readers the best white-knuckle thrill ride I am capable of. I am first and foremost in the entertainment business. If that suspenseful ride is also terrifying because it hits really close to home, then I am once again doing what I am supposed to do as a thriller author.
There will be hits and misses; you can’t take it to heart. Of course, you feel bad when something doesn’t do as well as you expected it to, but it’s a part of being in films.
Offsetting the sample position every time the sample hits will create more random movement in short samples.
Of course, the moment when the ball hits the net, that’s fascinating for kids playing the game and motivates them to join a club.
It doesn’t get any more underground, conscious or indie than Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, but because they got a couple of really big pop hits, actually some of the biggest pop hits that hip-hop has ever seen, people are missing that part of their story. People are not counting that blessing.
Look at my track record: All of the big hits we created in Holland worked globally.
First, everyone hits on Sidharth Shukla. I’ve seen it. He is the complete package. But this is also a problem. The girls don’t leave him alone.
I would hate to go out as a legend on tour just playing all the back hits.
You’ve just gotta go in and write from the heart and write the best material that you can and put it out. If one hits, hey, great. It keeps the legacy going. But you’ve gotta keep doing new material. It’s the future of any band.
I’ve always kind of been a little skeptical about bands that won’t play their hits. That’s really arrogant to me as a music fan. I do want to hear obscure songs, but like most people, I want to hear the hits, so we always play them.
Everything in nature is not just a straight up. It’s an S-curve. It arises for a while until it hits some physical limitation, and then it plateaus again.
When you’ve played this game for ten years and gone to bat seven-thousand times and gotten two-thousand hits do you know what that really means? It means you’ve gone zero for five-thousand.
I feel a whole lot of gratitude for having hits.
When you have the ball above the net height on grass, it’s easier to play, and when the ball comes at you more slowly, it’s easier to play. But when a guy hits hard and deep, I think you have to have been out there playing to understand, but it’s hard to really hit the ball.
Film is much more of a brand business, whereas on Broadway, you can do complete unknowns and have hits.
Most of the hits I take come on top of the shoulder pads.
There is some big thing about the world that produced all these people willing to kill themselves just to hurt us. On 9/11 we learned we’re part of that world, in the same completely crazy, drastic and arbitrary ways it hits other countries.
Borrachinha’ boxes better Vettori. Vettori throws good strikes, he’s fast, has rhythm, good heart and good submissions, he fights well in all areas, but I don’t see him taking ‘Borrachinha’ down. ‘Borrachinha’ is more skilled than him in wrestling and hits harder with his hands.
Homer’s work hits again and again on the topos of the inexpressible. People will always do that.
I see artists as the first responders. And when the proverbial crap hits the fan, we are there to be of service, to tell the story, to bring a balm, to soothe, to provide catharsis. You know, not to make our work any more important or less important, but just that there is a great importance to it.
