We played New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles, maybe 1978, opening for Kansas or somebody. Driving to the hotel after the gig, we came on KLOS. It was like, ‘All right! We’re in L.A., we just played a big gig, and we’re on the radio!’ That was the start of something big.
Like in Athens, it went by so fast and I mean, I remember it being like the best trip ever. And I am so excited for Beijing. Like at Opening Ceremonies when you walk out with your whole team and you are all marching and they light the torch, I mean – it is so exciting.
I love my kitchen. For Manhattan, I have a rather decent-size kitchen, and it has an opening that gives out to the dining room, which has a window with a view of the city and in the distance the Statue of Liberty.
I’ve made tons of mistakes over the past years, but if there’s anything I’ve done well, if I see an opportunity, or if I see God moving or going in a direction or opening a door for me, I try to take it; I try not to hesitate.
I am explicitly not opening the giant can of worms that is the ongoing current discussion of patent, copyright, and trademark reform.
Comedy’s about opening up and being unique, but to a point where the audience can relate to what you’re saying.
Due to the UFC educating people on MMA as a sport, people give us the respect as athletes, opening doors to opportunities which wasn’t available in the past. It has been amazing to be part of the UFC journey.
If I see an opening, I’ll go for the submission.
I’m giving all that I have in this life. I’m opening up my notebook, and I’m saying everything in there out loud.
Now, seeing little kids that were in my AAU program, seeing where I came from, the same spot that they’re in, now I’m in the NBA gives them a little hope and, I guess, just opening their eyes a little bit that, with hard work and dedication, anything is really possible no matter where you’re from.
In spring training, I just try to spread everything out so I can be 100 percent before the season starts. I don’t want to start feeling like I don’t get it once the season starts. I want to be 100 percent on Opening Day.
My parents raised me to believe that when one door slams in your face, turn around because there’s probably another door opening up somewhere.
Don’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.
I feel like I’m opening the doors for more people. That they feel more comfortable being out. Especially in the hip-hop community.
Opening is about the mindset. You got to respect the new ball.
My first time actually appearing in a match at SummerSlam was 2010, and I was wrestling against Rey Mysterio in the opening match of the show. I was pretty brand new as Dolph Ziggler, and obviously Rey Mysterio was a well known superstar.
I may try and get into education. I may open a school, and that is my ultimate dream. Opening a school will give education to children, who are the future of our country. If we can educate them in a proper way, I think that will change the future of the country.
In March 2010, I attended an art opening for Kimberly Brooks’s show ‘The Stylist Project’ in Los Angeles. It was a starry celebration hosted by Dior and ‘Vanity Fair’ to benefit P.S. Arts. But even as fun-to-gape-at actresses like Christina Hendricks arrived, I couldn’t take my eyes off the oil portraits.
I knew very little or nothing about the Olympics. Having qualified was itself a big achievement for me, and then being there was quite overwhelming. Although I lost in the opening round, but the fact that I fought well was enough for me to take away from Athens.
I started thinking that if post modernism is about people opening up all their skeletons, I’m going the other way. I don’t want anyone knowing anything about me anymore.
Sometimes, as I feel a door or an exit point in my work is closing, I’ll try to create an opening so as not to stifle the creative process, which I see as a process that’s never-ending.
When I’m shooting, really the audience I’m thinking the hardest about is that first test screening audience who I want to like the film and that first opening weekend audience.
This record for the first time – feels like a record that really represents my whole entire life and instead of just a period of my life. And it is really kind of eye opening and it makes me feel really good to hear this record and hear all the years.
Somewhere along the line a convention developed that the opening of a film was just a laundry list of credits. There was no incentive to complicate an area that was settled.
Growing up I played in garage bands and cover bands with my older brother, and he got us a gig opening up for some hippie jam band. I was 15. I felt like such an adult!
There is abundant proof that the opening of our ports always tends to raise the price of foreign corn to the price in the English market, and not to sink the price of British corn to the price in the continental market.
I’m not good at opening up with people.
I’ve already made some changes. I have suspended certain things. Certainly, opening bank accounts, and whether you can or cannot as an illegal immigrant, I’m not sure that the data that we have is accurate enough, so I have suspended that for the time being.
As an assistant, when you wake up in the morning, you’re opening your laptop and watching film. Then the game starts, and you’re watching it until you finally fall asleep.
When you go to the movie theater and the opening of this movie and you see the kids just cracking up with a character you are giving your voice to, you get goose bumps. It’s so beautiful.
There was an incident, in 1912, which ‘gave me a turn,’ so to speak: when I brought the ‘Nude Descending a Staircase’ to the Independants, and they asked me to withdraw it before the opening.
I don’t really comment on my personal life because I feel like any comment at all is opening up a whole can of worms. I’d just rather not talk about who I’m dating.
I’m not good at picking people up, I’d rather just get to know someone. I’m not an ‘opening line’ kind of guy; it’s not really my scene. But at school, I was good at talking to girls. I wasn’t good at making moves, though.
I’m given a lot of credit with opening the doors for Christian fiction. It was kind of a difficult field when I got into it… But I don’t feel like a king.
Any responsible essayist or memoir writer who’s writing about herself is not just saying, ‘Here’s what happened,’ and opening up her diary. There needs to be consideration of other people’s feelings.
For ‘Filth,’ we had about 12 producers on the thing. The opening credits go on for months. Most of them are actually financers rather than producers. And the only way that we could raise the budget without interference from a studio was to have a lot of different financers on board.
From the first opening of our eyes, it is the light that attracts us. We clutch aimlessly with our baby fingers at the gossamer-motes in the sunbeam, and we die reaching out after an ineffable blending of earthly and heavenly beauty which we shall never fully comprehend.
Jack Nicklaus liked to curve the ball by opening or closing the clubface at address. I never felt I was good enough to do it his way. I didn’t like changing my swing path, either, which some guys do.
We are opening up an enormous new era in archaeology. Time capsules in the deep oceans.
This idea of, there’s a locked door; how do you open it? You don’t necessarily care what’s behind it; you’re just more excited about opening the lock… It’s not about finding the treasure; it’s more about defeating the puzzle.
The good news is when you open up in Vegas, you have a lot of friends, because they all come over to see your opening night.
