I can’t just only be on reality TV and show everything when it’s the fairy princess, fairytale, and then not take my hits when I have to.
A British pressing with a compilation of the best stuff really, I mean actually not only that but, these were all kind of semi hits for the people on it in America.
It’s impossible for me to go into a room or look at a location without a part of my brain photographing it – picking the best angle or looking at the way the light hits.
Future put out nine projects in a row that’s all hits. ‘Dirty Sprite 2’ is one of the best albums ever.
Seven out of my nine films were hits. 80 per cent of the audience loves my films; the remaining 20 per may be right in their opinion, but that doesn’t make me wrong. If I try too hard to woo them, I’d be cheating my core audience.
When Joker hits his three, it opens up the game for everybody.
There are people who have huge YouTube followings – whose every post gets hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of hits. But I don’t think that’s having the same impact as someone who has a regular presence on television, or both.
I serve up the hits, and I enjoy doing it.
Anthony Johnson hits harder than any other person, no doubt. Every time he hit me, it made me kind of, like, fly all over the place. He was trying to take my head off.
I think adversity hits people and we all know what to do when adversity hits we keep praying and we find hope.
I walk around every day with a radio playing constantly in my head, and this radio station plays a lot of hits. But it’s all my songs, so that’s something to be excited about 24 hours a day.

The way that light hits objects, I think, is one of the more important things that sculpture and photography share.
When I started my career, I gave four flops, and then four hits, two flops, two hits, and then three flops.
When I looked at Ioniq, I thought about something in a childish way: If a thunder hits the car, will it recharge?

We hear about the importance of strong core muscles all the time, but it never quite hits home until you stop and think what the muscles around your stomach and lower back really do.
A close friend of mine’s daughter was diagnosed with Epilepsy and battled seizures her first 2 years so this cause hits close to home. She ended up having brain surgery and has been seizure-free since. It really is an incredible story. Anything I can do to help promote Epilepsy awareness, I am with it.
Every time a twenty-something CEO turns down a multibillion-dollar offer for a company that has little or no revenues, it hits a raw nerve in me. Unlike most professionals, I am not shocked by the seemingly bizarre behavior of those founders who pursue their vision beyond all rational thought or monetary reward.
I usually hold a puppet and play with different voices until something happens and the right voice just hits me. Then, I’ll pick a name that just seems to fit the character that naturally comes out.

I want a hit. I don’t think anybody spends 12 months writing and recording an album, making something cool, and says, ‘Great, I hope this doesn’t sell.’ I don’t understand that mind-set. I want hits: a big bunch of them.
One of my great goals in life is to live long enough to where I am in the pulpit, preaching my heart out, and I die on the spot, my chin hits the pulpit – boom! – and I’m down and out. What a way to die!
When you win a championship, period, it never hits you until you get home the next day.
It’s a relief to hear the rain. It’s the sound of billions of drops, all equal, all equally committed to falling, like a sudden outbreak of democracy. Water, when it hits the ground, instantly becomes a puddle or rivulet or flood.
As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it’s because I’ve played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting.
I draw whatever hits me.
I do remember my first purchase: the Partridge Family’s ‘Greatest Hits.’ I got it for $3.99 at a failed chain of pre-Wal-Mart-type stores called Jamesway. God, I’m old.
I’ve noticed that in the U.S., when the president hits the three-year mark in office, he goes into re-election campaigning.

When I’m swinging well, nobody hits the golf ball any better than I do.
Everybody can’t come to New York and take the hits, take the hits of the city, take the hits of the media, take the hits of the fans. It’s real.
Me, I’m not a guy who’s dealt with a lot of death in my life, so when it hits you, it hits hard, you question different things.
Sometimes when a thing hits you, it hits you in levels, and the reality of what’s happening has been a progression for me.
I’d love to say I made the smart decision of picking projects that became hits, but with ‘The Good Wife,’ I read the script and something inside me said, ‘I love this, I want to do this.’
All my hits in Punjab and Haryana are about heartbreak.
When life hits you hard, it can throw you off course. But how you handle that adversity can teach you so much about yourself and change your perspective on what you actually want from life.
I just feel really lucky to have had some hits because we had a lot of time where we didn’t have them. It’s better to have a hit. You can ask anyone – U2, Green Day – and they’ll tell you the same thing.
When you’re doing the traditional musicals, singing songs that are 40 and 50 years old, you realize there’s a reason why those musicals are hits. These are amazing songs!
If a guy is shooting a shot in the corner 70 percent of the missed shots usually come off that other side and 30 percent hits off the front rim so just playing the percentages and kind of studying your teammates’ shots throughout the course of the game.
It’s kind of weird. You can have hits, but it’s hard to sustain a career. I went through that period where I didn’t have a lot of hits, although people were still buying the records.
It’s more important to me to get an e-mail that says, ‘I saw your page and it changed my life,’ than how many hits the page got.
You don’t get hits if you’re depressed.
Actually, I love trying to figure out why certain books become hits while others, which may be just as good, have trouble finding an audience.
The Beach Boys were my favorite. I use to listen to their hits over and over, especially ‘In My Room’ and ‘Don’t Worry Baby.’ There’s something really sad about ‘Don’t Worry Baby.’ Even though it’s just a California song about racing cars, the melody is really sad. There’s melancholy in it.
But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn’t do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs – Early Days – which is what it is – and Latter Days.
The fear really hits you. That’s what you feel first. And then it’s the anger and frustration. Part of the problem is how little we understand about the ultimate betrayal of the body when it rebels against itself.
Success has nothing to do with box office as far as I’m concerned. Success has to do with achieving your goals, your internal goals, and growing as a person. It would have been nice to have been connected with a couple more box office hits, but in the long run, I don’t think it makes you happier.
Think about it: You’re trying to raise cash to save an endangered animal. You’ve got orphaned pandas getting 3 trillion YouTube hits, and you’ve got seals being clubbed over the head by roughnecks. The money flows in. But what about the poor shark?
Hearing is a form of touch. You feel it through your body, and sometimes it almost hits your face.
I’m blessed to have the platform I have, and I’m going to spread the word. There’s a lot of great causes, but I don’t know anything that hits you harder than a child being sick. It’s not fair; they don’t deserve it. I’m ready to know what I can do to help.
All I know is stars and hits, you know what I mean? I don’t just sign a guy because he has a hot record. I sign a guy because he’s a star. He’s a pillar of the community.
Once an ebook hits the Kindle Top 100, sales tend to snowball as new customers discover it in greater numbers.
As an artist, you dream about accumulating enough successful music to someday do just one greatest-hits album, but to reach the point where you’re releasing your second collection of hits is beyond belief.
I watched the guy that hits a home run, and he comes across the plate and he points skyward, like thanking for the help from the Almighty to hit the home run. And as he does that, I say to myself, ‘God screwed the pitcher.’ And I don’t know how else you look at it.
