We never had the most money, but my parents always did their best to take care of me and my brother. I had a real small but tight group of friends, and we would just ride our bikes all day after school and play video games, or we would actually wrestle out in the backyard.
I gave everything I had to basketball. The passion is still there, but the desire to play is not. It was a great ride.
My earliest vivid memory would be my Nigerian mother. She would wrap me on her back. I remember being on her back a lot. It felt like a ride, like I was riding a dinosaur; going everywhere and seeing everything.
I think you just have to take everything that happens on a TV show with a grain of salt. You sign up for a show for six years having zero idea where they’re going to go with the character, so you just have to get on the ride of the show and go with wherever they take you.
What I used to do between writing fits was feed my kids, ride my horse and go shopping for cat and dog food.
My journey with Rajesh Khanna was good, thrilling… a roller coaster ride. I feel honoured to have two children with him.
I do freestyle jumping. Been doing since I was eight years old and can’t quit. I’m addicted. I’ve broken many bones, but I ride with confidence. It’s my thing – there’s no high on earth like it. It’s my hobby and I really enjoy it.
All history, and most especially the history of the 20th century, argues against placing ideas in the saddle and allowing them to ride mankind. Too often, they end up riding individual men and women into mass graves.
After ‘Sports’ came out in the fall of 1983, everything changed for me. Four of the album’s singles became top-10 hits, and by the end of June in 1984, the album was No. 1 on the Billboard chart. It was quite a ride, and for the first time I had enough money to live the way I wanted.
There has always been something less than wholesome about New Labour. But Blair for a long time had an easy ride. There was the whopping majority. There was the relief that the Tories were finally gone. There was the grand hyperbole.
I live by the sea, but the body of water I have the most feeling about is the Mississippi River, where I used to row and skate, ride on the ferry in childhood, watch the logs or just dream.
It’s never paid to bet against America. We come through things, but its not always a smooth ride.
I’m kind of a jock. I sail, I ride a bike, I hike, I pump iron. I just love to be active.
One thing I’ve learned about life is that if you really let go, it’s just a joy ride.
It’s hokey, but I love sitting in an inner tube and taking it easy on a lazy river ride. I can sit there all day.
You see, I don’t know how to ride a motorcycle, actually.
I sail, run dogs, ride horses, play professional poker and tell stories about the stuff I’ve been through. And I’m still a romantic; I still want Bambi to make it out of the fire.
I’ve been to over 70 different countries, all seven continents. It’s been just a wonderful ride, and all that is because of professional wrestling 100%.
I’d rather ride down the street on a camel than give what is sometimes called an ‘in-depth’ interview.
There is a limit to the application of democratic methods. You can inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they like to ride in, but it is impossible to question them as to whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed and accident threatens.
My routine is to ride that snooze button as far as it will take me, take a quick shower, get dressed in the dark and bolt out the door.
Mickey Mouse popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.
I feel like I was born to ride the track.
On the RFactor model that comes with the ‘Pro-Sim,’ everything is balanced and measured. If you go up on the rear ride height, for example, it changes the airflow and the downforce of the car. You learn by trying different things, which gives you a better idea when you’re on a race weekend.
All horses are different – sometimes they have a long neck – so you don’t ride the same way on every horse. It depends on their body, and your body, but the object is to get down low so you’re aerodynamic, so you call pull from the horse through the head. The best jockeys do that really well, and know how much to push.
When I started off, I didn’t only ride to fame on my looks though many people I know think otherwise.
And in ‘Frisco Kid’ and in ‘The Woman in Red’ I had to ride badly. Then you have to really ride well in order to ride badly.
When I was 12, I used to ride my scooter two miles to a comics shop, which I can’t imagine letting my kids do by themselves through the city.
I just enjoy the ride while I have it.
Not everything happens when you expect it; it is what it is. The people who ride with you, ride with you.
In the Fifties, there were certain places we couldn’t ride on the bus, and now there is a possibility of a black man being in the White House. You have to feel good about it.
When I left home, I was going to ride around a little while and then go to my mom’s. As I rode and rode and rode, I felt even more anxiety coming upon me about not wanting to live.
In these days when science is clearly in the saddle and when our knowledge of disease is advancing at a breathless pace, we are apt to forget that not all can ride and that he also serves who waits and who applies what the horseman discovers.
For years I drove a big Ford F250 pickup. That was my ride because two-thirds of my work was wood work, and I’m always driving up to Northern California, where I harvest salvaged trees.
And what I like about it is it makes me happy and I think it makes a lot of people happy to go to the movies and to not think about the problems of the day or the problems of tomorrow or the yesterday and just go on for the ride and have the fun of losing oneself in a fantasy.
I had daydreams and fantasies when I was growing up. I always wanted to live in a log cabin at the foot of a mountain. I would ride my horse to town and pick up provisions. Then return to the cabin, with a big open fire, a record player and peace.
In all my wild mountaineering, I have enjoyed only one avalanche ride; and the start was so sudden, and the end came so soon, I thought but little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times.
I don’t expect that because I was successful in one field that I will then get a ride of passage into another.
Maybe I should just go home and ride my tractor.
Cape Cod baseball dates back to the time of the Civil War. A poster at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown touts a round-trip train ride from Hyannis to Sandwich on July 4, 1885 – the occasion of the 14th annual baseball game between Sandwich and Barnstable.
Theater is consistent. You ride your bike to work. You get most of the day off so you can see your kids. My problem is that after three months, I go mad. One of the reasons I never thought I could do a TV show is that I hate doing the same thing over and over again.
Exercise is really important to me – it’s therapeutic. So if I’m ever feeling tense or stressed or like I’m about to have a meltdown, I’ll put on my iPod and head to the gym or out on a bike ride along Lake Michigan with the girls.
I’ve found that if you have big thighs, as I do, long underwear will not ride up.
I ride my horse at competition level.
Just able barely to mount a horse and ride about a little in the spring of 1866, my life was threatened daily, and I was forced to go heavily armed. The whole country was then full of militia, robbing, plundering and killing.
Biking takes so much time. You need three hours to get in a good ride. In one hour, you can get in a good run.
In the course of my career, which has been an incredible rollercoaster ride, I look at the journey and think it’s been immense.
You could walk the streets, no matter how hungry people were, not matter how long they’d been out of jobs, you could walk the streets, you could ride the subways in New York, and you would not get knocked in the head.
I love getting paid to ride a horse.
I am a romantic, and I think dates are wonderful. I like quirky and fun things. Like going for a bike ride or for a pedicure together.
I’m going to do the Commonwealth Games for no other reason than national pride. It’s something special getting to ride for the Isle of Man.
In February of 1972, a snowstorm blew into Kansas City, and I decided to hitchhike to California. The roads were icy, snowflakes howling, and nobody would drive me to the highway, so I humped through the snow and ice and caught a ride with a concerned cop to the Kansas Turnpike.
Globally, ride sharing is a very intense industry with a lot of money being thrown around.
My dad is an ob-gyn – he’s retired now – and he wanted to come to the States to make a better life, for opportunity. My mom said that, on the plane ride here, I did not want to speak a word of English – I spoke Tagalog. And then, after the first day of school, I didn’t want to speak anything but English.
I just try to keep going and work on projects that are exciting to me, with people I respect and enjoy and want to work with. That takes me in different directions sometimes, but it’s all been a pretty good ride.
