I loved the idea of making history interesting for kids! When Scholastic approached me about ‘The 39 Clues’, I immediately started going through the ‘greatest hits’ from my years as a social studies teacher, and picked the historical characters and eras that most appealed to my students.
The Prosenjit-Rituparna jodi is a huge contribution to Bengali cinema as we have delivered several hits.
That’s my boy. Young Thug making hits!
I don’t eat steak often, maybe once a month. But when I do, it really hits the spot. When you’re done with your steak and your mashed potatoes and your green beans, you really know you’ve had dinner.
I grew up listening to hits, and if I write something I feel, I think that’s pretty mass appeal. I’m not very elitist with music. Love is universal; a great melody is universal; it goes around the world; it’s not just American. A great song can touch the world.
It’s hard enough to get four hits in a Major League Baseball game, yet alone have them all be the right ones and the right sequence.
It’s not always caving to pressure: Sometimes criticism hits close to home; sometimes criticism changes our minds about something we’ve put out into the world.
I think we’ve got the tracks that everyone wants to sing along to. A lot of people say, ‘God, I’ve forgotten you’ve had so many hits!’
When I was 5 years old, I got my first record. It was ‘Flatt & Scruggs’ Greatest Hits.’ The second was ‘The Fabulous Johnny Cash.’
‘Aashiqui’ and ‘Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin’ are great franchises to take forward. Both films were big hits back in the day. I definitely want to make these beautiful films into franchises in future.

My first break was in my home country with some pop songs that became hits, writing for French singers Christophe & Francoise Hardy, which became hits.
Music is feeling. You can try to verbalize it. It really just hits you or it doesn’t.
I’ve always looked at famous actors and hope that once they get a part that they have success in, they would reprise it every few years in the way a pop singer will reprise their hits. Like Bob Dylan singing ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ until he’s fed up with it, finding different ways of doing it.
A lot of my die-hard fans think I have a lot of hits, but I don’t.
The artists in country music who stopped having hits are the ones who were led into something that wasn’t them.
If the audience wants to hear them, then I’m going to play them. I’ll mess around with them a bit to keep it interesting, because it’s frustrating when you see artists refusing to play their biggest hits.
I’m a huge fan of Renaissance art. It’s very direct. They’re paintings that hit you in the face in the same immediate way that a huge pop tune hits you in the face.
I love a visceral sound, the kind that hits you in the belly.
I love big hits.
I really rebel against this idea that politics has to be a place full of ego and where you’re constantly focused on scoring hits against each one another. Yes, we need a robust democracy, but you can be strong, and you can be kind.
I sometimes like to do plyometric work which hits my core and the rest of my body at the same time: things like jumping to catch balls, box jumps, hurdling over cricket stumps, bounds, hops, or combined exercises like three jumps in a row followed by a sprint.
My siblings’ first songs in Bollywood – ‘Baabuji Zara Dheere’ and ‘Saawan Aaya Hai’ were huge hits. There is no rivalry between us, and we love and support each other.
When a gust of wind hits a broken bone, you feel it.
I want to be like an Undertaker and be around so when your music hits, people go crazy because of that respect that you’ve earned over 20, 25 years of going on the ride for them.
I just go out and do what I can to help the team win, try and be consistent in having some good at-bats and getting some timely hits and whatnot.
Sometimes, when the wind hits hard and icicles form on the sea cliffs, we can all come together – and at those times, we are at our best.
I used to get 15-20 bunt hits a season. Now, I’m down to five or six. Infielders still play me in, but I’m always looking if the opportunity is there.
I’m having No. 1 hits on the country charts and that’s where I always wanted to be. I’ve had 26 No. 1 country records. That thrills me to no end.
There’s a lot of demand to hear the new Kanye West album before it hits the streets. There’s much less demand to read the new Phillip Roth novel.
Not every story in history has a beginning, a middle and an end, but the wreck of the Titanic does. It begins when they leave, in the middle it hits an iceberg, and in the final two hours, the ship sinks.
The thing that’s tricky is sometimes the best voices – just because someone hits the big notes and sounds amazing – it doesn’t necessarily mean they make the greatest artists.
The time to stop is when the other guy hits you more than you hit him.
When I saw ‘Shola Aur Shabnam’ and ‘Aankhen,’ I did not anticipate that they would become such hits. They looked like B-plus projects.
Hits and flops are overrated.
Four out of the five discs in my lumbar spine are ruptured, herniated fully. Think of a jelly doughnut being squashed, and it hits nerves, causing bilateral sciatica. And I have irreparable sacral damage. And I have peripheral neuropathy.
Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.
I play guys who are willing to go really far. If the dung really hits the fan, I don’t know if I could walk the talk. But anyone who isn’t willing to die for his convictions isn’t worth living. My characters, no matter how demented they are, they have their convictions.
I can still take the hits; it’s not a problem for me. I accept the blows. I can take the punches like a boxer.
On any play where there’s a scramble of 22 men, blindside hits and unprotected hits on knees occur.
We didn’t just want to go out and do that whole greatest hits thing.
I’ma continue to make records, continue to make hits, continue to be what I am, legendary.
I try to be mindful of snacking, but salty chips sometimes sneak in. I tend to avoid sugars – luckily, I am more of a ‘salty tooth’ – but I try to keep my sugar intake to a minimum and find some healthy alternatives when a craving hits.
So there was a way for you to get promoted and survive as an artist without worrying about AM radio hits.
I think the season I had playing as a kid against men in Reunion toughened me up a lot and taught me how to cope with hits.
I think there’s sexiness in infield hits because they require technique.
I think every player hits a little bit of doubt. But if you are strong, you are supposed to be strong mentally because that’s our job and you know what you can do. So you are like, ‘A’ight cool, I’ma be all right. I’m going to figure this out.’
I often felt like that Mr. Magoo figure in the cartoon, who just wanders through traffic, and somehow it never hits him. I kind of feel that way about my whole childhood: Why do I have a normal life?
I’ve watched songwriters, writers, producers, even artists that I’ve written hits for come and go. But to the world, it looked like Justin Bieber was my first success.
When cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricanes swamp Alabama and wildfires scorch Texas, you come to us, the rest of the country, for billions of dollars to recover. And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn’t just hit Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with floods and storms.
When I do a 30-minute meal, for instance, on Food Network, that’s my food you see at the end of the show and it’s not perfect. And if sometimes things break or drop or the pasta hits the wall when I’m draining it, they never stop tape. They just kind of let me go with it.
When you don’t get hits it’s depressing.
I want to produce more number one hits but not follow trends blindly! What I really hope to achieve in the long-term is to get that cross-over status such as Calvin Harris and Avicii. I’d love to be a household name in pop music.
My dad always told me to stand up to bullies, and Bill O’Reilly is kind of a bully, and he’s the kind of kid who hits other kids on the playground. And when you hit him, he runs to the teacher and says, ‘Teacher, sue him.’
Every night is a joy; you get an hour and a half of all these hits. It’s a lot of fun.
Playful stimulation probably hits all kinds of synaptic possibilities. It is all make-believe and all over the map. The potentiality of the synapses and the potentiality of playfulness are a beautiful marriage.
In the olden days films used to become huge hits because of family audiences. But nowadays certain films cater to youth audience and once that is exploited then the film stops. and some films are for a mature audience. My aim is to satisfy all the sections of the audiences.
Many online journals get the most hits of the day during the lunch hour.
Brock Lesnar’s stand-up sucks. He doesn’t have a chin. Brock has got to take him to the ground, because Mark Hunt will knock him back to pro wrestling if he hits him.
I don’t think anyone hits as hard as I do in the light heavyweight division.
