I wrote a little autobiography about how luck has to do with everything. It’s called ‘My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business.’ A publisher came to me and said, ‘Write a book,’ so I did. I wanted to call it ‘Everybody Else Has Got a Book.’
We cannot create the perception that if you’re rich or famous or both that you got one set of justice – and for everybody else it’s something much harsher. That won’t do and we need to make sure that we have a criminal justice system that has integrity.
I’m like everybody else.
I was in love with the triangle because it was so different to what everybody was doing in the NBA. Everybody else was dribbling down, throwing it into the low post, and then their guy would go to work. To me, it was boring.
I won’t be managing the Mets. I am closing the door on managing the Mets and probably everybody else.
Being Native American, we were different than everybody else, but I never felt like I was different.
They think I’m being serious when actually I’m a very big clown. But you have to know me to see that. I’m constantly cracking up and cracking everybody else around me up.
And hip-hop is about style and finesse and being creative and different, and to do that you have to be ballsy enough to not do what everybody else does.
I’m more than comfortable just sitting back and scoring 21, 22 points or whatever and getting 10, 11 assists whatever the case might be. More than comfortable with that. It’s just a matter of the pieces that you have around you and what you can do to elevate everybody else.
I like trendy clothes just like everybody else does.
Everybody else is afraid to fail. I do not really care because when I fail, I try something new.
I pride myself on taking care of my body. I make some sacrifices. I might not go out as much as everybody else or I might not… I don’t drink.
I didn’t know how to dance, so I just jumped up and down and bashed people. Then everybody else started doin’ it, but they didn’t get it right, so I quit.
So whenever I hear The Beatles I always feel I’ve got a lot in common with everybody else.
I want to try to give everybody else a fair shot and know that you don’t know what that person went through before you met them that day. We don’t know what people are walking out of or dealing with. The hope is that even when people aren’t sure about me, maybe I can try to love them and be sure about them.
Someday I might have to put down a basketball and have a regular 9-to-5 like everybody else.
I think there’s a dark and twisted idea of democracy that everybody is as interesting as everybody else. So we mustn’t make anybody too interesting. There’s an ironing out of edges and eccentricities, idiosyncrasies in people and situations.
I’m greedy and ambitious like everybody else.
When do you realize when you’re a kid that you’re going to be great and everybody else doesn’t understand that? I don’t know. I just felt I could beat everybody.
If you see in any given situation only what everybody else can see, you can be said to be so much a representative of your culture that you are a victim of it.
Everybody’s like everybody else, and everybody’s different from everybody else.
They asked me to sing – actually, it was Dee Dee, because he had seen me in Sniper and thought I wasn’t like anybody else. Everybody else was doing an Iggy or a Mick Jagger.
I’m always my toughest critic. I’m setting the expectations for myself, and that’s enough pressure. I don’t need to worry about the haters or the Twitter trolls or what everybody else thinks.
The president is expected to follow the rules just like everybody else.
In our globalized world, what happens in one nation has a very real impact on everybody else.
Who I was was not acceptable to black L.A. youth: the way I spoke and my sense of humor. Everybody else had relaxers and pressed hair. I wore my hair in an Afro puff. Nappy. The way I dressed. It was all about name brands at the time in L.A. I had no idea. All those things, I failed miserably at.
When people have a MakerBot, they have a different mindset from everybody else who grew up as a consumer. Instead of thinking, ‘I need to go buy that,’ they first think, ‘Do I need to go buy that? I could just MakerBot that.’
I’m a little bit of everything. That’s what makes Nicky Jam so different from everybody else.
When I’m later in the competition, I get antsy. I’m seeing everybody else go and achieve things. It’s like I’m just twiddling my thumbs.
I’m more interested in books than people, and I always expect everybody else to be, but they’re not.
I’m just a regular guy trying to make my dream come true like everybody else.
‘Philomena’ was even better than I had expected. I was so pleased to see the evil Irish nuns thoroughly exposed, and I thought Judi Dench gave a flawless performance, as did everybody else.
I don’t go out that much anymore, unfortunately. I used to enjoy it, but I’m just so busy. Like last night, everybody else went out, and I just went straight home and went to bed.
Dick Van Dyke spent most of his time setting everybody else up.
When we realize that human beings are entering the world constantly and that each being is stamped at the first complete breath with the planetary pattern then in the sky, everyone must necessarily be different from everybody else.
I always felt that I was, you know, smart. I just didn’t have a lot of the resources that everybody else had… It was tough for me to catch up.
I admired the tournament system because it brings some reality to the game. You had to beat everybody to get your title shot. It wasn’t something random, you got there because you beat everybody else.
You can’t expect to be better than everybody else if you’re doing the same thing as everybody else.
Like everybody else, I love a good pop song. You know, there’s nothing like it. I also just really like music that goes off on extended forays of extrapolation into different areas. So it’s kind of nice to be able to move between those two poles.
I order food like a normal human being. If I’m out to lunch, I’m going to order three courses like everybody else. I’m not going to feel like some kind of freak.
I had small injuries that everybody else has. A little strain, you’re out one week. Twist your ankle, out two weeks.
You can’t just take care of everybody else all the time.
What we learned quite early on is what was really important to early British pop that we produced-and this is where we were distinct from almost everybody else in this respect-is that it had to reflect exactly what the audience wanted us to say.
The title ‘black swimmer’ makes it seem like I am not supposed to be able to win a gold medal, I am not supposed to be able to break the Olympic record, and that is not true, as I work as hard as anybody else, and I love the sport, and I want to win, just like everybody else.
It doesn’t matter if you look different. You’re still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream.
When I was 5 years old, I moved with my mother and brother from Philadelphia to a small town in Florida. People talked more slowly there and said words I had never heard before, like ‘ain’t’ and ‘y’all’ and ‘ma’am.’ Everybody knew everybody else. Even if they didn’t, they acted like they did.
I don’t understand labels. I don’t need anybody to tell me I’m Latina or black or anything else. I’ve played characters that were written for Caucasian females, I just want to be given the same consideration as everybody else, and so far that has been happening.
Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.
I started ninth grade a week after everybody else had started, and I didn’t know anybody. I was in a chorus class, and they asked me to bring my guitar to school one day, which I did, and all of a sudden, people knew me… in the halls, people would start saying hello.
Capitalism and democracy are the opposite of each other. Capitalism is a system that guarantees that a few are going to do very well, and everybody else is going to serve the few. Democracy means everybody has a seat at the table. Everybody.
I think the time has come when the American people understand that federal employees need to work an 8-hour day just like everybody else.
You can’t give up! If you give up, you’re like everybody else.
One of the things that the Grateful Dead did, way back when, was we spent a lot of time just turning each other on to music. If somebody was listening to something that really caught their ear, they’d make sure that everybody else in the band heard it, and that came home for us in innumerable ways.
I didn’t want to be regular. I didn’t want to be this type of player, how everybody else play. I always try to learn and just be better so I could be different, y’know, instead of being content like a lot of people I’ve seen were.
In a world where ideas and ideals flow freely, we want what everybody else in an advanced society seems to have: a say in our future.
Also, I need deadlines, just like everybody else, especially coming from magazines, newspapers, and stuff like that. I need daily or weekly deadlines to get stuff done, or I continue to do things and not go off on a year of unproductivity.
