I’m pretty good at going incognito.
I’m usually pretty good in front of a live audience. I usually like that.
I think I did a pretty good job – particularly when I was racing with Hakkinen. It was maybe the first time that I have been challenging with the big boys, and I really enjoyed it.
When I’m disciplined with my drop and my footwork, I usually throw it pretty good. And when I’m a little bit off, or a little careless in that manner and not dead on to where I’m supposed to be, I’m not as good. So that’s one thing – just being disciplined in my drops and my footwork.
I mean, I love to try and cook. I’m pretty good, but I’m not saying I’m great.
In high school, I taught dance classes for 3-year-olds up to 16-year-olds, so between that and some bat mitzvah money, I saved up a pretty good nest egg to move to L.A.
I made ‘Rio Bravo’ with John Wayne. It worked out pretty well and we both liked it, so a few years later we decided to make it again. Worked out pretty good that time, too.
I’ve got a pretty good appetite right now.
My high school experience was pretty good, but my middle school experience was god awful. It was horrible. I got picked on like no tomorrow.
Even now, when I’m asked how I’m doing, I like to reply, ‘Pretty good. I’ve got all my fingers and both eyes.
I am not racked with self-loathing. Some issues of guilt and shame, but I’m a pretty good guy.
Craigslist does serve as a platform where people help each other for the basics, and also, shows people that the Internet is good for mutual support. I do feel pretty good about that.
I think that casting shows are pretty good at teaching someone how to present themselves and how to handle the media.
I fancy myself at being pretty good at understanding a script and finding the weaknesses, and then making them more radical than they are. People tend to listen to me.
I’m pretty good at weaseling my way into a job, even if I have no business being there.
It’s important to remember that, in the 1930s, a lot of people in the West looked at communism as a pretty good idea. That was partly because they didn’t know how bad things were on the communist side of the world, but it was also partly because things were bad in the West.

I get pretty pumped up when I block shots. I have good timing and I go after it pretty good.
I had a lot of fun working with John Candy. We had a pretty good rapport.
You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.
The weird thing about my relationship with Reince is we were pretty good friends when I was a political donor writing checks to the RNC. But once I was about to enter the administration, for whatever reason, it was a little more adversarial.
Anyway, I lived on the streets and did pretty good until I got caught stealing, what was it? I kicked in a restaurant window, went in and took all the food that I wanted, and while coming out I was grabbed.
If I’m alone, I tend to cook for myself. I do a pretty good job of preparing healthful foods. My go-to is everything in a bowl like quinoa, avocado. Later in the day, scrambled eggs. I’m not a gourmet chef. I cook in bulk very well.
My dad was rubbish at all other aspects of his financial life, but he’s pretty good at paying the rent.
I played soccer when I was a kid. I started when I was 8 and played for 8 more years. I was pretty good. I used to train with Atletico Nacional, which is one of the most important teams in Colombia. I used to train every day.
I have a pretty good grip on who I am.
For those of us who spent our careers competing with David Broder, the hardest thing to abide was the inevitable comparison. If someone said Jack Germond – or Jules Witcover or Walter Mears or whoever – ‘is a pretty good political reporter,’ the default response would be, ‘but he’s no David Broder.’
By the middle of the century, retirement culture – exemplified by timeshares in Florida, the golf industry, and AARP membership – was booming. Americans, it turned out, were pretty good at figuring out how not to do anything in their twilight years.
I actually had a dream that one of my friends became president, and I was trying to help out with the campaign. It was pretty good.
A lot of actors in my age bracket look at being still standing as pretty good.
I will go off at times. Overall, I’m a pretty good teammate.
I approach life with a ‘jump’ sort of mentality, although I wasn’t raised to take crazy risks. I was raised to be a crazy hard worker. It seems to be a pretty good match of qualities.
Well, you can’t throw heavy, analytical, thought-provoking songs at people 24/7. It’s been my experience over the last 20 years that on a rare occasion, in a live setting, if you can slow people down to listen to two good ballads, then you’re doing pretty good. Then throw a tempo at ’em. Then have fun.
After several trillion dollars of stimulation by the Obama Administration and the Fed, one might think the economy would be chugging along at a pretty good clip. But, it just isn’t so, and the light at the end of the tunnel is pretty dim. Just ask a small business owner.
I’m in a comic book now. That was cool. That’s something that I’m still sorta reeling about, ’cause I read comics as a kid. Someone drew me, and actually did a pretty good job!
I’ve always thought I’d been pretty good with people, and I basically have spent a conflict-free life, you know?
I consider myself to be a pretty good judge of people… that’s why I don’t like any of them.
We’ve seen smaller guys in main event fights, and they do well. It just takes the right combination of people I think. I think Dominick Cruz v. T.J. Dillashaw could have main-evented a PPV and done pretty good.
I was a good father. I was a nice guy, pretty good guitar player, and funny as hell.
I tried hard not to think about the scope or scale of making a record that would be heard by millions and millions of people. I did a pretty good job of tuning that out.
I put Catholic guilt to work pretty good for a rich rock star.
Obviously you can make a pretty good living these days as a crew member or a crew chief or as a driver. But the technology is expensive.
I want to do some fiction writing, I’ve had some pretty good luck with short stories, I’d like to do a couple of larger things.
I guess Johnny Depp has a pretty good career. I love a lot of parts that actors have played, so I love pieces of their career, but it’s pretty hard to look at an actor’s whole career and go, ‘That was awesome!’ Usually it either ends on a crappy show or with no work at all.
The truth is that the writers who most influenced me weren’t people categorized as crime writers. I’d say I learned more from John O’Hara, who isn’t much read today but whose short stories I really admired, and Hemingway, who I think has lasted pretty good.
I’ve gotten pretty good at leaving characters on the set. I go home and try to relax and regroup and be ready for the next day.
A sense of humor… is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.
I was not an outstanding student. I did a reasonable amount of work. I got generally good – pretty good grades, but I was not that passionate about getting straight A’s.
I’m pretty good with languages.
I was always pretty good at designing things.
I expected to be a pretty good NBA point guard and hopefully win a championship. But MVP and all this stuff? Not really.
I’m really great with weapons: I did a lot of bo and staff training for ‘Immortals.’ I love knives. I’m a pretty good shot. But I love hand-to-hand combat.
Everything I played, I kind of found a way to be pretty good at. My mom always said, ‘If you’re not good at something, then don’t do it.’
As a kid, I wanted to be a pro tennis player. I was pretty good; at the tennis academies I attended, I always ‘played up’ against older age groups.

I just have pretty good recall of information.
I’ve been listening to a lot of Hollies stuff lately, and it’s beginning to sound pretty good to me.
I started in the mailroom, literally, as an intern… in 1974. The legislator I was working for at the time said, ‘I want you to get your law degree and come back here and get elected and be the first woman governor.’ I kind of took that guy seriously – I thought that sounded like a pretty good idea.
David Lynch was very good, very patient with us, and the reaction in the United States seems pretty good.
They’re pretty good actually, Hall & Oates. I gotta give them credit. They got a lot of toe-tappers.
I try to do the right thing. If you do what you know is right, and you’re a good person, you might not win short-term all the time, and financial gains might not be there all the time, but ultimately, you can be pretty happy, and you can do some pretty good things in the world. Keep a positive outlook.
