I seem to have a knack for picking movies that go on to be cult favorites.
It’s impossible to put a video online without hoards of anonymous men picking apart your appearance or saying especially cruel things. It works to silence women who shouldn’t be scared of sharing their opinions with others.
A lot of Americans think we need to stand stronger. I don’t disagree with that. But that doesn’t mean you go picking fights with countries all around the world. That’s not the way to be a stronger, more secure America.

I’m not qualified for anything. I’ve had lots of little jobs, like picking grapes and being a tax man. I can’t imagine not writing, because I’ve done it since I was five or six. Maybe I’d work in academia. That’s always what the plan was.
So I didn’t have anything to do with picking the songs, but I got to musically take them in places I thought might be interesting, so it was a real neat collaboration among the three of us.
If you think it’s hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
We are here today because of grass-roots conservatives all over the place. That’s the way the democratic process is supposed to work. It’s not supposed to be a bunch of guys in a smoky room in Austin picking the next Senator.
The funny thing about being creative is that, especially high school people, I kept noticing I’d always go to these certain materials. I’d always be picking up trash and picking up paper and using it.

I love staying at home and not seeing a guitar for ten days… but then I love that feeling of picking it up again.
Jake ‘The Snake,’ getting the chance to talk to him all day and just picking his brain – you know, he has his demons, but he’s an intelligent person, and he knows the business like no other.
Choosing my favorite moment in journalism would be like picking a favorite among my children. I can’t pick one favorite.
I come from a working-class family, and I’ve been working since I was 13, from babysitting to blueberry picking to factory work to bookstore work. And of course, being a mother and homemaker, the hardest work of all.
Klay Thompson, Ray Allen, CJ McCollum, Steve Nash and Bradley Beal are the guys that’s I’ve watched, just picking different things from each player.
I went to the Brit School for the performing arts in Croydon at 14, picking music as my main subject, and I’m so glad I did. I knew lots of people who’d gone there, so I always had my mind set on it.
These things don’t just come, arrive and settle like a bird picking up a few bits of crumbs. They develop. I think the best word for these things is develop. They develop because of the human beings who just happen to be there at the time.
On the song ‘Dangerous,’ it feels like a teenager picking up a new instrument and writing something with all of that naive excitement.
I love dressing Mason more than dressing myself. It’s so much fun picking out his clothes and making outfits and giving him style.
Leadership consists of picking good men and helping them do their best.
My kids are in school and in all these clubs – chess club, fashion club, you name it. When my dad came home from work, it was late, and when he left, it was early in the morning. On my days off, I’m still taking my kids to school and picking them up. I do what I have to do to keep that relationship.
I thought I had a pretty good American accent but I had a few sessions with a voice coach over there and she was picking up on a few things. Possibly because I’ve got such a strong Northern accent, I emphasise the wrong part of words so the idea is to work on my American accent.
When you first saw ‘The Truman Show,’ did anyone else walk around for the next week not picking your nose just in case?
Life is simply too short to think about everything you put in your mouth, and it’s not good for children to see you picking over bits of salad.
There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.
It’s been frustrating. Since I’ve broken into the top five, I’ve seen the politics of fighters dodging fights, cherry picking fights and this that and the other.
Oftentimes, actors don’t have the luxury of picking their part. You go from one project to the next, and you hope that you find one that fits you and that you’re suited for, and then they see that you’re fit for it.
I always lived with guitarists. When they would leave, I would just pick up their acoustic guitars and start doing finger picking and write.

I remember how much fun it was to pick out my lunchbox. My all-time favorite lunch box was from the movie ‘Annie.’ Also, I loved picking out school supplies! Trapper Keepers were my favorite.
We need an equal opportunity society, one in which government does not see its job as picking winners and losers. Where do you go if you want special favors? Government. Where do you go if you want a tax break? Government. Where do you go if you want a handout? Government. This must stop.
If you don’t know the blues… there’s no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.
There’s no such thing, you know, as picking out the best woman: it’s only a question of comparative badness, brother.
The beauty of Test cricket is all about playing an opponent in their backyard or defending home turf under challenging conditions over five days – dominating each session, dominating each day, picking 20 wickets to win a contest. That’s historically been cricket’s most fascinating gift.
Extracting the meat from a whole crab is a time-consuming job – picking all the meat out of the legs, claws and body, double-checking for bits of shells, etc. But the flavour makes it worth it, and you get the additional bonus of the crab shells to make a flavourful bisque or stock as a base for other dishes.
I think it just helps to be very aware that fundamentally, there are no adults. Everyone is making it up as they go along. You have to find your own path, picking, choosing, taking and discarding as you see fit.
At the end of the day, not everyone’s going to like what you do. There’s always going to be that one person, or many people, who are going to keep on nagging at you and picking on every little thing that you do.
I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.
Most people didn’t have the bandwidth to download whole albums. And so it brought back this cherry picking idea that the audience would focus on certain songs and possibly be the impetus behind what eventually got on AM radio: the single or whatever.
If you tell a kid, ‘You’ve got to pick music or Instagram,’ they’re not picking music.
I purposefully try to go through days without picking my phone up, and that’s hard to do because we’re so dependent on it.

We ought to be allowing the private sector to pursue every form of energy because the energy of the future, it’s not going to come from the government picking winners and losers.
We live in a time where there’s a required instant gratification from audiences. That’s a fun challenge in terms of putting together this teaser, picking and choosing how much you’re actually giving away.
It’s like a rugby team. If you’re picking for the World Cup final, you’re picking experience with youth. Everything is better off having that balance and that mix. I think that, especially, goes for the monarchy as well.
Any experience of a girl picking out her wedding dress is amazing, but I have to say it was really special to work with David’s dad, to see him in action with his team.
Instead of picking your career and backfilling your life behind that, what if you pick your life and backfill your career with whatever is left over?
It really wasn’t about picking Chicago. I feel like Chicago picked me.
I hate picking out outfits for events. That’s why I always wear the same thing when I go out – OK, not exactly the same, but always something easy. If it isn’t a big fashion event, it’ll be jeans and a nice top.
