You know sometimes in life it just takes one little push to get you over the hill and from there it can be a beautiful ride.
I can think. I can sleep. I can move. I can ride my bike. I can dream.
There was a lot of light and a lot of rumbling and vibration, especially the first minute or minute-and-a-half. And then after about two minutes, when the solid rocket boosters separated, the ride got a lot smoother.
I’ve got to be happy with myself when this ride is over.
Sir Richard Branson started out as a small business owner and now owns a conglomerate that will give you a ride to the moon. If you pay for your ride with bitcoin, you’ll be using the first truly universal currency!

I think ‘Avatar’ is much more appropriate to high frame rates because it’s like a ride, and it’s futuristic, and vividness and sharp edges and clarity would be an asset.
Consumers are increasingly feeling that they are being taken for a ride.
In my formative years, when I was a little kid, I’d get out of elementary school, and because my mother worked as a nurse, I’d have to find a way to get a ride to the high school and watch my dad’s team practice.
Part of a horror movie has to be a bit fakey for me to really enjoy it. The new ones are so realistic that they distract me from the ride through the horror.
Beware of addictive medicines. Everything in moderation. This applies particularly to the Internet and your sofa. The physical world is ultimately the source of all inspiration. Which is to say, if all else fails: take a bike ride.
If you think, ‘I’m jumping out of a plane at 30,000 feet!’ you’re not going to do it. But if you just jump out, then you’ll have an interesting ride.
Now that I’m a grandfather myself, I realize that the best thing about having grandkids is that you get the kid for the best part of the ride – kind of like owning a car for only the first 10,000 miles. You can have your grandchildren for a couple of days and then turn them back over to the parents.
Much as Cold War nuclear strategists could argue about winning a nuclear war by having more survivors, advocates of a Global Warming War might see the United States, Western Europe, or Russia as better able to ride out climate disruption and manipulation than, say, China or the countries of the Middle East.
I ride horses once in a while, but I’m no expert. I hold on for dear life.
When sequencing an album, you kind of have to look at it like you’re making a movie with different acts, and you have ebb and flow, peaks and valleys. You want it to feel like a journey or a good movie or book where you can actually feel very satisfied at the ride at the end of it.
Being a WWE performer and doing all the different things we get to do, it can wear on you, and you can learn a lot of stuff about yourself. For me, it always reminds me to just stay humble. Just be yourself, love what you do, and enjoy the ride.
I did not think that a good movie was the equivalent of a good stage play, any more than I thought an automobile ride was as exhilarating as a drive behind a spirited horse, nor a trip by steam as soul-satisfying as a voyage by sail.
If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it.

If a really, really pretty girl needs a ride home, I’m your guy.
In football, you have to look out for yourself and know when that ride is over. That extra inch after you’ve already got the first down – what’s that going to get you? Not much.
You can’t do the same thing every day with the horse. Because they then know the thing inside out, and they’re leading you, not the other way round. You don’t want them to take over. You have to be able to ride the movements and set the movements up; you don’t want them starting before you are ready.
I exercise at a great gym and do dance classes mixed with some calisthenics. I really enjoy that because it reminds me of ’80s aerobics. It’s fun! I also bike ride, or sometimes I swim. Because I stand a lot, I don’t really like to walk long distances. Running or jogging is out of the question.
Women should not let anybody take them for a ride. If they face such things, they should talk about it.
When I was 6, a family friend gave me E.L. Konigsburg’s ‘A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver’ and launched me on a full-blown Eleanor obsession. I wanted to ride off on Crusade, to launch a thousand troubadour songs, to marry a king – and then jilt him and marry another.
The way that I learned to be confident was I would ride the back of the city bus and sing very low.
As a long-time registered Democrat who started voting in the year of Watergate, I resent being taken for a ride to the place where anything goes and nothing matters. And especially where nothing matters less than clear thinking and straight talk.
My problem with boxer briefs is sometimes they are a little too short, and they ride up your leg.
If you know what you’re doing, you can make a meal happen with any kitchen knife. But using a top-quality knife versus a low-quality one is the difference between driving a Jaguar and a VW Jetta across the country. They’ll both get you there. But the Jaguar will give you a much smoother ride.
I’ve accepted that we’ve all got crap to deal with and problems that we’re fighting not to be defined by. At the end of the day, we all want the same stuff: fulfillment, love, support, comfort, and a hot-air balloon with laser guns attached to it. The most important thing is that we appreciate the crazy ride we’re on.
In a live performance, it’s a collaboration with the audience; you ride the ebb and flow of the crowd’s energy. On television, you don’t have that.
A musical sweeps you along, like you’re on a magic carpet ride of sorts. But you have to keep up.
Sometimes it feels like I’ve been in the business forever, but then other times, it feels like kind of a flash. Growing up, all I wanted to do was sing. All I wanted to do was get on a bus and ride around the country and sing for people and be a household name.
We are united in that we are all human beings, and we are all together on this horrible, painful, joyous, exciting, and mysterious ride that is being alive.
I find it easier to write in the winter in Melbourne. When the weather is good you want to go out for a walk, ride a bike, go to a cafe or something. When it’s raining, when it’s a miserable day, I just sit down at my desk and get some work done.
Some people just don’t understand people who eat meat and ride animals.
If I couldn’t compete, I wouldn’t ride. I don’t ride for fun; I ride to prepare for the next competition, and everything that I do when I am in the saddle is always a calculated step in my path to the next win.
The Uncharted’ series really pushed me as a developer. They managed to raise the bar with every single release and produce an action- packed thrill ride starring characters I wanted to hang out with, and mechanics I can easily pick up and play.
You can go back into equestrianism any time – we’ve got a yard back home in Sheffield, and the horses are still there. They’re just on hold for the moment. I can’t ride and play football; it’s too much of a risk.
I am a big Vespa enthusiast, and I enjoy the state park aspect of California. It’s awfully nice to ride my little scooter through the mountains and then wind up at the ocean.
When you, as a fan, go to see a wrestling show, you don’t know what the predetermined outcome is. You take a seat and enjoy the ride – and it’s a hell of a ride.
Venture-backed startups with billion dollar market caps are called ‘unicorns’ because they are supposed to be rare mythical creatures that few entrepreneurs will ever ride.
We do spend time talking about it and we puzzle through it together. We ride the roller coasters together – the high highs and the low lows.
You know what else I’ve learnt? That it’s all right not to ride the crest of the wave. Every time a wave comes along I retreat, and I haven’t come to any harm yet.
You do have to learn how to wear a kilt, and it’s certainly very liberating and very freeing, but surprisingly very comfortable to wear, to ride a horse in a kilt. I was surprised by that.
My big advert was for ketchup. I come home from school, cook my brother and sister their dinner, ride my bike in the garden. Remember that one? People cried at that advert. It won awards. I was 12.
Bull riding isn’t that much different than the life of a musician. You’re trying to ride an uncontrollable force, there are no rules or limits or regulations, and there’s a freedom in it that’s also a bit terrifying. You can learn a lot about yourself through some of those scarier moments.
After you ride a roller coaster that’s been going up for a year and a half, and you reach the pinnacle and then dive straight down with no gradual decline, it’s a little disorienting. I didn’t know how to take losing.
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
