I could have stopped it after they paid me the $50,000. I wouldn’t even have had to go on to do more than I already had: just the double agents’ names that I gave.
But I was in the Radiohead studio today and Phil was there drumming and Thom was there playing. We feel like we’ve only just stopped and already people are wanting us to carry on.
I’ve stopped drinking, but only while I’m asleep.
I never read Playboy before I started working there and stopped reading it the day I quit.
Doing something like that, quite radically changing your approach to sound in one go, could leave you high and dry. It’s happened before where people have changed direction and then everyone’s stopped liking their music.
I’ve not stopped going on public transport. I love going on it.
One time, I was literally stopped on the street, literally and physically whipped around by this guy who looked at my face and was like, ‘Are you Felix?’ I looked very different then. I was like, ‘Yah… Oh, yah!’ I was stunned and slightly frightened.
I vowed I would do everything I could to stop the Isle of Man counting towards the world championship. And it was stopped, so they love me in the Isle of Man.
Wars can be resolved. Human rights atrocities can be stopped. We just have to apply the right policies.
We found on our journey, as well as in the place where we stopped, that they treated us with as much confidence and good-will as if they had known us all their lives.
The L.A. rap scene is popping again because rappers stopped saying ‘West Coast.’ Nobody says that anymore. Fans of L.A. music were reaching and saying, ‘This is West Coast music,’ because nobody else liked it.
For me, it was always that one extra job that you do to survive in the industry. I also realised that I was not well-sculpted as an actor because I was getting a lot of rejections. I stopped acting and focused on casting.
My poor wife, we stopped on the way back to the suite after our wedding reception so I could pick up a jar of peanut butter and a loaf of bread. I mean, I’m not a real exciting guy.
When a young non-white male is stopped and searched at the whim of a police officer, his idea of personal space, privacy and self esteem are shattered, to say nothing of his Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment protections. The damage goes deep quickly and stays. Stop & frisk, as well as a tactic, is also an incitement.
I was aware that the teaching of drawing was being stopped almost 30 years ago. And I always said, ‘The teaching of drawing is the teaching of looking.’ A lot of people don’t look very hard.
I had my years of struggling. Some of my shows failed miserably, and I was upset by it and it dented my confidence. But I never stopped. I kept going for it.
You know, I stopped being competitive after I played football.
I personally have stopped eating seafood.
A man never apologizes for the fact that he has to work. He might say, ‘Hey, I am so sorry my hours were long today,’ but he’d never feel he has to explain the very fact that he has a career. Once I stopped apologizing, I noticed both my kids also stopped complaining and asking me ‘why’ I worked.
I think it reaffirmed something that I believed in and conceptually always had faith in which was that you’re most effective when you work as a team. I love that about filmmaking. I stopped playing team sports at 15-16 because of acting. I think I find a kind of new team sport in filmmaking in a way.
I stopped smoking. When I stopped smoking, my voice changed… so drastically, I couldn’t believe it myself.
There is no way at all that Diana was mentally unstable. There is nothing wrong with expecting your husband to be faithful and being angry when he isn’t. Diana had every reason to believe that Charles and Camilla never stopped seeing each other.
Members walk into the chamber full of hatred. They believe the worst lies about the other side. Two senators stopped by my office just a few hours ago. Why? They had a plot to nail somebody on the other side. That’s what Congress has come to.
I didn’t worry too much about staying in shape once I’d stopped dancing. You get to the point where you just burn out and have to give your body a chance to heal.
Dry deliveries. That helps when I get the ball back in my hand – like I never really stopped throwing. The goal for me is to increase arm strength.
No one stopped buying I.B.M. because Tom Watson wasn’t there, but they stopped buying Elizabeth Arden because she wasn’t there.
I do get stopped on the street, although rarely. And they always have something lovely to say.
My heart has joined the thousand, for my friend stopped running today.
I wanted to definitely be a musician or a good preacher or a heck of a baseball player. I couldn’t play ball too good – I hurt my finger, and I stopped that. I couldn’t preach, and well, all I had left was getting into the music thing.
By the time I hit college, my secret shame was the reason I was an actor was my own words sort of dried up. I stopped writing. I stopped being able to form my own vision. That’s actually what my first feature is about – looking back at two different selves.
It’s very rare that I get stopped or get asked for an autograph or anything – none of which I mind – but people don’t really care that much.
People never knew we were poor, but out of that poverty came the most incredible inventions – board games, recipes… we never stopped inventing.
I have stopped having goals. If you have many goals, and you don’t reach your goals, it is very upsetting, so I just think of keeping it simple, working hard and going and playing the game. But I know there are going to be very important series for Indian cricket. I will just try my best to be in my fittest form.
I can play the trumpet. Before I became an actor, I wanted to be the next Louis Armstrong. I started young and got to grade seven. When I turned 13, everyone started whipping out guitars, looking cool and joining rock bands, so I stopped playing.
I remember being really hurt by a relative of a good friend of mine when I mentioned that someone was a great wrestler – she said, ‘What do you mean? How can you be great at wrestling?’ I stopped them and said, ‘Do you think that what I do takes no talent whatsoever?’ She realized how hurtful those words were.
I was spawned by some pretty good people in this business – Mr. Astaire, Mr. Tracy. They stopped and took their time to talk to people.
The pollution problem is always seen as someone who was doing something bad that has to be stopped. To me, pollution is doing something bad and good. People don’t pollute because they like polluting. They do it because it’s a cheaper way of producing something else.
Why can’t the world be like a summer day, when I thought that health care would be an ethical decision and wars existed only to be stopped?
Kinda when I stopped eating was on our second album, just as it felt like everything was so out of control.
The songs of Bizet are by a French peer of Rossini. When Rossini stopped composing, he was living in Paris. He also wrote some beautiful songs in French.
My fingers used to hurt really bad when I played guitar. I stopped because of it.
Hand any four-year-old a fist full of crayons, and it is a very, very few who don’t get busy with them, drawing, coloring, scribbling. I have not stopped scribbling.
I wrote for nearly six hours. When I stopped, the dark mood, as if by magic, had folded its cloak and gone away.
Virtual currency, where it’s called a bitcoin vs. a U.S. dollar, that’s going to be stopped. No government will ever support a virtual currency that goes around borders and doesn’t have the same controls. It’s not going to happen.
Our intellect, our awareness, and our consciousness is the most powerful form of life on this planet. It’s totally worthwhile. If our animal instincts stopped, we would die. We don’t think about it, but if your consciousness were responsible for all of your bodily functions, you would die.
As a personal matter, I stopped voting more than a decade ago, on the grounds that it helped me as an analyst not to think about making a choice in the voting booth.
I am stopped in the street by kids and Harry Potter fans all the time.
I was told about ‘Misfits’ when we were in prep for ‘Chronicle’, and I wanted to watch it badly because I’m a fan of that kind of stuff. But I stopped myself because I was very careful about not getting too much contemporary influence.
So many times I should’ve stopped or could’ve stopped and didn’t stop… So many kinds of people can get depressed and sad, and you know what? Everyone has that talent, that gift.
I stopped making videos and commercials for a few months before I started films just to reset my clock because so much narrative filmmaking is a sense of tempo and rhythm.
I can’t pretend to be a teenager, but I feel like I never really stopped being a teenager.
I loved the Beatles when they turned up, and the Stones when they turned up, and never really stopped liking them.
I was discovered by Paul Marciano of Guess when I was actually, like, two years old. And so I started with Baby Guess; I did Guess Kids, and then I stopped because I was a really competitive horseback rider and a club volleyball player. I went to Junior Olympic qualifiers for volleyball. So, I kind of stopped modeling.
