I have realized over time that I missed the mark with HyperCard. I grew up in a box-centric culture at Apple. If I’d grown up in a network-centric culture, like Sun, HyperCard might have been the first Web browser. My blind spot at Apple prevented me from making HyperCard the first Web browser.
I spent most of my young life in the business and missed out on school events. I needed to be a young person and do what I wanted to do.

For me, the fall of the Wall came at the exact right time because, I mean, I was 17, basically I hadn’t missed anything, unlike the generation of my parents, who were deprived of a lot of things.

I missed quite a lot of school because I was working from the age of 11.

I used to shake my head when I heard about mothers who were shocked – shocked! – when their kids came out.

I took up ‘Waqt’ and ‘Gandhi My Father’ because they were very too special to be missed.

Opening Day was a big thing. I came to a lot of Orioles games. I grew up a couple blocks from here, so I was always coming down to the stadium. I always made it down for Opening Day until I was a little bit older and I had ball. But when I was younger, I always missed school.

I don’t like my parents; I never will. I didn’t cry at either of their funerals. I haven’t missed them for five seconds. I didn’t – you know, our characters were so at odds with one another right from the beginning. But I do understand them now as human beings, with the understanding of an adult.

When you go into a game, and there’s something that was drawn up the way it was supposed to be drawn up, and you missed the throw or the catch, as a receiver, it’s something where you feel bad about that.

Going to Charlotte and being there two years, I missed L.A., but it was good for me.

I have always loved clothes, and the opportunity to design my own line could not be missed. It’s a dream job.
I don’t know what I am. I guess you can call me a character actor in the sense that I’ll never be an ingenue. You know, that’s over. My shot was missed. I take a normal person and make them more of a character. I don’t know what that would be called.

My father never saw me play ball, and I was an outstanding ballplayer. I missed all that adoration.
In period films, it always helps to have someone built to carry a sword, and Channing Tatum clearly hasn’t missed a workout for the past two years, so he fits the bill in that regard.

My dad was a plumber. That’s hard work. He never missed a day of work. I will never disrespect him by not showing up for an athletic competition that has a maximum duration of 25 minutes.

I feel like a lot of women have been questioning their role in their workplaces and society, opportunities that they may have missed or haven’t spoken up for.

When a critic or journalist writes, ‘It’s too complex,’ or, ‘It’s full of plot holes,’ they very rarely take the step of identifying what they mean. The reason they do that is to protect themselves, because they don’t want to reveal that they may have misunderstood or missed something.

I had a great job at school, St. Francis Elementary, where they asked for somebody to deliver milk, and they said you get a free carton of milk… the thing that I learned was that every kid that was sick or absent from school, I got to drink their milk too. I never missed a day of school.

After games, you think about the play you missed.

If I missed bronze by whisker, it was due to lack of experience.
I know a lot of grime artists started off on pirate radio, but I missed that era; I was way too young.

The downside to making movies at a gallop like we did with ‘Wish You Were Here’ is that we’re shooting four or five scenes in a day, and it’s very exhilarating, but you worry at the end of the day that you missed some details because you were moving too quick, and you just gotta trust and be ready straightaway.

My siblings and I were friends with the boys who would become our stepbrothers – we grew up on the same street.

There’s nobody that’s ever really been able to take care of me. Johnny did for a bit. I believed what he said. Like if I said, ‘What do I do?’ he’d tell me. And that’s what I missed when I left. I really lost that gauge of somebody I could trust.
When I grew up, I never – I wasn’t allowed to go out. I missed my prom because I went to an AAU tournament and all that stuff. For me, it was basketball, basketball, basketball.
When I was growing up, if there was a Young Adult section of my town’s library, I missed it. I wandered right from ‘The Babysitter’s Club’ over to Stephen King.

One time I tried to use the bathroom in the dark, and I missed the toilet, and I fell on the floor.

Now it’s all about the word of mouth, and watching a series on Netflix.

And I think it’s fantastic, because then I can watch the shows that I missed, over a weekend. I love doing that.
There is no point in putting out ‘The Complete BBC Sessions,’ and someone’s growling that you missed something.

I’m glad that my parents missed one thing that was really unbelievable. They saw me hit this great success. It was a blast and we had a lot of laughs. And it was just an amazing time. They passed away. And then after I got, you know, famous, all these haters came out of nowhere.
My mother missed having dinner with Lyndon Johnson because she couldn’t find the right hat to wear. While my father went off to the white house to break bread with the President, my mother, who’s not a things and stuff person, stayed at the hotel and tried on 10 different hats and missed dinner.

I grabbed it with all my might and just could not let it go.
I’d spent 25 years in government when I left the Defense Department back in ’93, decided I’d go spend the rest of my career in the private sector, and then the president tapped me to come be his running mate. And it’s been a remarkable experience. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
I went with a pixie cut when my daughter was really young. It was easy – I mean, it was really easy. But I missed my long hair. Especially after a long winter, all I want is sexy summer hair.

I realized in the five years off, what I missed was being around the young people, the organization, the practice, the fourth quarter of the game where you’re behind, trying to get back to win the game late. It’s not about the rings and trophies and money, that’s not what you got into it for.

It was the changing point.
Sometimes, I feel like one who is on the sidelines, who has missed life itself.

I didn’t rebel as a child. I missed that angry teenager thing.
With the 24-second clock, they throw up the shot so fast you don’t see plays worked very often. With the extra six seconds, you can regroup after a missed shot and work another play. It would put more coaching in the game.
Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.
Because my dad was often gone, I never wanted to do anything that would make him stay away even longer. I became extra careful about what I said and how I said it, afraid he’d think I was angry or didn’t love him. And the truth is, I was angry. I missed him and wanted him there.

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
