We were on the cover of Women’s Wear Daily, which was hardly rock ‘n’ roll, but it pleased me.
I don’t act to be popular or see my face on the cover of magazines every time I go out to get coffee. I don’t want to think about me all the time and what I look like.
I’m a Gemini and I have a lot of different moods. Sometimes I’m very serious and introspective and pensive, but other times I’m completely goofy and girlie. So, I like my songs to cover all my moods.
I ended up having my first girlfriend when I was 13, and she was obsessed with Justin Bieber. I remember watching the ‘Baby’ music video and being so jealous of him. So I posted a cover of ‘One Time’ on YouTube, and she loved it.
What happens during recessions, is you have less windfalls just helping you cover mistakes. You have to be more careful about not making mistakes.
Insurance companies can no longer refuse to cover Americans with pre-existing conditions.
Cristiano left the bar very high at Real Madrid. You cannot cover the sun with a finger.
I’m into a casual-dressing girl: blue jeans and a tank top is super sexy. But the sexiest thing on a girl – when I see it I’m like, oh my God – is these little tight boxers. Don’t get me wrong, g-strings are fine, but those cover a little, to where it’s just enough.
I think the oldest comic I got when I was a kid was an issue of ‘World’s Finest’ – it had a Neal Adams cover with Batman where he had turned into a bat, and he was attacking Superman.
That was’ one time when my technique absolutely deserted me, I must admit. There was a wax face that he had created himself to cover his own ugliness. I was in his clutches and I had to hit him in the face.
Women of child-bearing age steadily run out of eggs by the continuous process of cell death. While reading a copy of the ‘Guardian’ carefully from cover to cover, a normal woman will have lost on average two eggs – while, typically, a normal man will have made 70,000 new sperm.
If you have urgent current expenses to cover, then future priorities like college and retirement fall off your radar because they are simply less pressing. Scarcity of attention prevents us from seeing what’s really important. The psychology of scarcity engrosses us in only our present needs.
I love pressure situations. I won’t run for cover, and I’ll try to take as much of the heat as possible. Because I feel I can stand it better than most people.
I like having my hair and face done, but I’m not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy.
There are people who are very highly paid to cover the truth and who will protect their clients.
I’ve always played ‘NBA Live’ since I was a kid, so to be on the cover is a blessing.
Whenever I hear somebody cover a song, I don’t like to hear it stray too far from the original. I like to hear some of the new energy that a band will put into it, but you kind of want to hear some of the basic parts of the song. I mean, that’s what makes it the song that you like.
I would never jeopardize classified information to be brought out to the public. This information is all open source. There is no reason to worry about classification. It is simply an attempt by bureaucrats to cover their rear ends.
I remember the cover of this one L’Amour book showed a guy on horseback, leading a pack horse across a creek in the snow. Something about that cover – all I wanted to do was drift the high lonesome on horseback.
In ’38, this time I did a job for Mr. Stryker. I went on his payroll at about half the salary I was getting before, to cover what he called Harvest in Ohio.
A great comic-book cover occurs when it gets a potential reader to pick the book up and start thumbing through it. That’s a comic cover’s job: Attract someone’s attention, and persuade them to try the issue out.
Many women don’t appreciate their form because it doesn’t look like what they see on the front cover of a magazine. They feel ashamed of their bodies.
If you take away the predators in the prairies and the national parks, you suddenly have an explosion of elk, and then you have a lack of the food source for the elk, so they strip all the ground bare and that takes away the cover, on and on and on and on. The whole food chain is disrupted.
When I was growing up, around 14, it wasn’t really cool at the time to have a big butt. I would always cover it with sweaters, and I was so ashamed of it. Now I’m like, ‘Why would I ever do that? That’s awful!’ Don’t change yourself, and don’t try to be anyone who you’re not.
All I really want to do is things I haven’t done. ‘I’m gonna put a paper bag on my head and be on the cover of ‘Billboard,’ see what I can get away with – if they’ll let me.’ And they let me. And I am literally giggling inside for, like, a month that I got away with it.
Political elites look increasingly interchangeable: Blair, Brown, and Cameron have all tried to provide cover for the surrender of sovereignty to foreign investors with invocations of ‘British’ values, and, more opportunistically, anti-immigrant rhetoric.
When I’m scared, my natural state is to hide and run for cover.
But the best teams I’ve encountered have one important thing in common: their team structure and processes cover a full range of distinct competencies necessary for success.
Whenever it’s suggested that our sponsors have some kind of influence or control of what we cover in some kind of censorship through financial pressure, it’s rubbish. That’s never happened.
You can’t underestimate the importance of cover art.
The US constitution’s First Amendment rights only cover Americans, but I believe that in a democracy the competition of ideas and free speech should combat beliefs that it does not agree with – more speech and debate, not censorship.
I do value the respect I get from my contemporaries, but to have Oasis cover my song, to have Puff Daddy cover a song, to have Goldie come along to my gigs – that’s where my ego is at. To have my fellow musicians like what I do, that’s very cool.
I picked books by their covers – the worse the cover, the more I wanted to read it.
I don’t work out and be healthy and want a strong body because I want to look good in a bikini. I do all of those things for me and for my health. I’m not going on the cover of ‘Maxim’ and ‘FHM’ because that’s not me.
To say directing was a long-stewing ambition doesn’t cover it. If you cut me open, you’d see it.
Yes, women should be free to cover their faces when walking down the street. But in our schools, hospitals, airports, banks and civil institutions, it is not unreasonable – nor contrary to the teachings of Islam – to expect women to show the one thing that allows the rest of us to identify them… namely, their face.
I teach at USC, and it’s obvious to anyone who teaches college students that they don’t cover much modern history and certainly not the modern presidency.
War zones are dangerous, protests can be violent, also, natural disasters are difficult to cover, so there are going to be risks.
I’m always telling people baseball needs to be more prominent in the African American community. What a better way to do so, going on these TV shows and appearing on the cover of this or that. Now kids can see how baseball can change your life. Frank Thomas did that for me.
I prayed like a man walking in a forest at night, feeling his way with his hands, at each step fearing to fall into pure bottomlessness forever. Prayer is like lying awake at night, afraid, with your head under the cover, hearing only the beating of your own heart.
I have to say, Alejandro Colucci is amazing. I had seen his work several times before I started making the connection between the art and the person making it, and when I heard that he was going to work on the cover for ‘Seven Forges,’ that connection was not yet cemented.
There aren’t a lot of cover bands that do Boston material or do it well, and the reason for that is that they are hard to play. So we put a lot of work into it. The musicians that I’ve managed to surround myself with after all of these years are individuals who really excel at what they do.
All of us have been trained by education and environment to seek personal gain and security and to fight for ourselves. Though we cover it over with pleasant phrases, we have been educated for various professions within a system which is based on exploitation and acquisitive fear.
I love myself the way I am, but people will always message me about other people with vitiligo who cover their skin. ‘Winnie Harlow, you need to tell them that they need to love themselves the way they are and stop covering their skin!’ No! If that’s what makes them comfortable and what makes them happy, let them be.
Grace is sufficient even though we huff and puff with all our might to try and find something or someone that it cannot cover. Grace is enough.
I believe the Bible is the word of God from cover to cover.
The deeper I go into mythology, the more I find. I originally did five ‘Percy Jackson’ books. I thought that would cover Greek mythology and I couldn’t have been more wrong. It’s ever-expanding.
Now that the Court has declared money to be speech, I say we replace the current Court with some Ben Franklins, Thomas Jeffersons, George Washingtons, a couple of Susan B. Anthony’s, Roosevelts, Hamiltons, a Sacajawea or two, and an Abe Lincoln to cover Scalia in full.
