I like ‘Man v. Food,’ ‘Diners Drive-ins and Dives.’ ‘Restaurant Impossible’ is pretty good, too.
I’m pretty good for an old geek.
If I’ve been an architect of my own career in any fashion, one thing that I’ve attempted to do is not get typecast, in order to be able to play all different kind of characters. I think I’ve done a pretty good job of that over the years.
I loved playing the guitar and I knew I was pretty good at it, so that’s what I wanted to do with my life.
So when you’re dealing with an existential threat like death or like climate change, if you see it as ‘we are all toast anyway,’ then denial is a pretty good way of coping.
Well, I got pretty good and went on the road with a group. We starved. At that time I didn’t realize that you’d work one gig in Kansas City, the next in Florida and the next gig will be in Louisville. You know, a thousand miles a night. That was really rough, man.
I didn’t mind studying. Obviously math and the physical science subjects interested me more than some of the more artistic subjects, but I think I was a pretty good student.

To do comedy, you have to be a pretty good actor to start with.
I feel like I have a pretty good head on my shoulders about what to expect and how to come in and work as a veteran.
There’s a lot of animals in the open ocean – most of them that make light. And we have a pretty good idea, for most of them, why. They use it for finding food, for attracting mates, for defending against predators. But when you get down to the bottom of the ocean, that’s where things get really strange.
What people don’t know about me is that I’m a pretty good businesswoman. Yes, I do this little ol’ game show, but I know the show isn’t going to last forever, so I’ve gone into different ventures. But I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging.
I got interested in coaching while I played at St. Joseph’s. Because we played a national schedule, we played teams coached by Nat Holman, Joe Lapchick, Hank Iba, and others. I could see the impact the coach had on their teams, and I thought, ‘That’s a pretty good thing to do.’
I think you have to be much more secure and much less angry to trust the simple. You’ve got to be in a pretty good place to trust those simple, obvious answers and, most important, to use them.
I was a pretty good fighter. But it was the writers who made me great.
I’m a pretty good chess player.
‘Five Easy Pieces’ got to me pretty good. I remember seeing it and thinking, ‘That is so cool. I would love to be able to do that.’
‘MasterChef’ is pretty good.
Unnatural constructs – cities and medical pain management – have always seemed pretty good to me.
I’m pretty good at playing with foot injuries.
I’m fine with being thought of as a guitar player, and if I can get any recognition or respect for doing that, that’s a pretty good thing for me.
Things are pretty good for NASCAR with our TV agreements behind us and so forth. For us it’s focusing on putting the best events and tightest racing that we can, making improvements on the track and investing in the amenities and fan experience.
If you can be the best from Queensbridge and actually make it out, then you must be pretty good.
When you’re headlining, people are paying to come see you specifically. It’s a different kind of pressure, because you’ve got to deliver. You’ve got to give these people what they paid for. It’s a different mind state, a different type of mentality, but it’s honestly a pretty good problem to have, you know?
I think I’m a pretty good coach, but there are a lot of good coaches, a lot of young coaches.
Found out I’m actually a pretty good teacher.
I think Ali was a fan of mine, even though he never said it. A lot of fighters thought I was pretty good. Nobody every really spoke different on that. But a lot of fighters thought I was good so.
I haven’t had the most thrilling lifestyle. I was a pretty good dresser, but I would have a pretty boring ‘Behind the Music.’
My dad was a great athlete. He started golf at a late age. He started me off real young and all of a sudden both of us got to where we were pretty good players. I was this 12-year-old thinking he was going to be the next Tiger Woods and all of a sudden, before you know it, I’m playing in the State Amateur.
After art college, I got a job as a medical illustrator, and I was pretty good. I had to imagine what was going on in the operations because the photographs just showed a mess.
For a quarter of a century, I’ve been playing baseball for pay. It has been pretty good pay, most of the time. The work has been hard, but what of it? It’s been risky. I’ve broken both my legs. I’ve sprained everything I’ve got between my ankles and my disposition. I’ve dislocated my joints and fractured my pride.
People who aren’t as interested in recorded music as they used to be will say, ‘Oh, ‘Buena Vista?’ Loved it.’ And I’ll say, ‘Well, how about any of my other recent records. I’ve been doing some pretty good ones. You like those?’ And they go, ‘Huh?’
Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That’s got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.
I feel pretty good. My body actually looks like an old banana, but it’s fine.
I’m probably the least flexible athlete you’ll find. When it comes to yoga, I can’t get in the positions and I can’t hold them. You have to be pretty flexible to do it. Once you get certain positions, you have to have the core strength to hold those positions. It’s a pretty good workout.
I’m a pretty good ventriloquist, but it’s the entertainment value and the laughs that keep people sitting there and wanting more.
I have never needed operations, I have had niggles the same as any other golfer after putting his body through 17 years of travel and a heavy playing schedule. I think I’m actually in pretty good shape considering the amount of hours spent hitting balls and sitting on an aeroplane.
But my Arabic is pretty good. It’s good enough to have conversations with people, to understand what they say, to understand what they’re feeling.
If I grew up in ‘da hood,’ it would make my story so much more interesting – if I had something to escape from. I had a pretty good life. My parents weren’t rich; they weren’t poor. I wasn’t trying to escape from anything. It was always just the pursuit of something cooler.
I think standup is pretty good for an introvert because you are performing, but, I mean, it’s on your own terms. There are so many people in the room, but it’s a one-sided conversation. And you actually don’t have to interact – unless you want to.
The global economy is in pretty good shape.
For me, 30 days, it’s already pretty good for ribeye or sirloin on the bone. I like my meat grass-fed and juicy. The French never age their meat more than two or three weeks.
I don’t mind hitting the ball bad, but when I feel like I’ve hit the ball pretty good for four days and shoot an 81, it’s not golf.
We’re pretty good at putting bunts down and really good at hitting. I know as a pitcher, when you face a pitcher you know can hit, that’s not fun. I think taking pride in that, and being able to hit helps your own cause.
We’ve grown from 18% of the profits of the top 25 companies in our industry to 23% of the profits of the top 25 companies in our industry over the last five years. Profits are up over 70%, where the industry profit is up about 35%. Pretty good.
When I do watch shows, or projects that I’ve been a part of, I’m pretty good at watching them objectively. And that’s mostly because I want to see how it came out overall, what the overall story was and how it came together visually, what my mates were doing.
Our problem with President Obama isn’t that he’s a bad person. By all accounts, he too is a good husband, and a good father – and thanks to lots of practice, a pretty good golfer.
I work very hard on my body, and I’m not just known for my six-pack or my body. I also believe that I have pretty good camera presence.
Being a public company is really terrible for most companies. I’d say Facebook and Google have done a pretty good job of standing up to the incredible quarterly pressure to hit numbers, but most companies – and I’ve observed a lot now – don’t do a very good job of that.
We actually have some pretty good songs. But if they come out too serious, then we have to scrap them.
I have lots of sources of information about what’s going on at the company. I think I have a pretty good pulse on where we are and what people are thinking.
I’m aware of how lucky I am. Being able to make pretty good money, and get to do a lot of fun work, and at the same time I’m not besieged by photographers.
What I’ve realized over the years is that I have some pretty good friends.
I’m playing pretty good now, but my ranking doesn’t say that. I’m number two.
The Jungle Bush Beaters didn’t last too long as a group, but we had a pretty good time while we did.
Did you loathe and detest the Bush administration? If so, you’d probably say its ideas were horrible and their execution worse. Did you not loathe and detest the Bush administration? In that case, you might say its ideas were pretty good – only the execution often left something to be desired.
I play baseball – ‘The Show’ – a lot. I’m pretty good at that. I go ‘Road to the Show,’ where you build your own player. I build myself when I used to play as a center fielder. Power, speed, stealing bases.
