When the band were really big and we had massive hits, I was always stressed-out and insecure. I thought I wanted the band to be really popular, but when that happened, there was so much pressure to keep it going.
My killer crossover project would be to combine Bjork and Grace Jones with the West Coast rappers and create this massive music. That’s, like, one of my dreams.
My father, a fine chess player himself, has been a massive influence throughout my life.
Seeing how those companies operate, it didn’t amount to a massive vote of confidence in their artists. There was talk of me going to Columbia after that, but nothing happened. I got disillusioned, and I pulled back.
As footballers we have a massive platform that we should be using way more than we actually are.
Of course Pluto is a planet: It’s massive enough to have its shape controlled by gravity rather than material strength, which is the hallmark of planethood.
I have lived through many major hurricanes during my lifetime: Camille, Frederic, and Ivan, to name just a very few. However, never have I seen destruction, panic, and fear on this massive scale.
I did ‘Iron Man’ because I was curious about those massive movies that were taking over the summers every year, and I wanted to see what the fuss was about.
I have a gut instinctive feeling that I will be as massive as Madonna, as massive as Michael Jackson… Whitney Houston, sure.
I am bowled over by the massive number of remarkable people who face down the fact that no, they are not going to be film directors, famous artists, or billionaire entrepreneurs and still come out the other side as cheerful, decent, gracious human beings.
To represent your country is a massive honour.
For many, the recent disclosure of massive warrantless surveillance programs of all citizens by the Obama administration has brought back memories of George Orwell’s ‘1984.’ Another Orwell book seems more apt as the White House and its allies try to contain the scandal: ‘Animal Farm.’
I would love to have the biggest band that I can have. I’d love to put on a massive show and just give people their money’s worth, then just come away from it thinking, ‘That was a good show’, because it’s kind of disappointing sometimes when you go and see someone and you can see they’re not that bothered.
Someone asked me the other day, ‘What is your most memorable moment in your career?’ and by far, China was. Being so close – the medal race was one part of the story, and there were a few incidents through the event that amounted to that massive drama at the end that cost us the medal.
In genomics, there’s a massive amount of information in which you can look for patterns and develop insights.
If you’ve got an industry where you’ve got massive investment, it doesn’t matter whether you bring in alternative supplies. You still lose the money on that industry.
As an astronomer, I get to ignore the details of the things that we don’t understand. There’s a lot of work that we can do on scales that we do understand, and there is actually a finite size that I can associate with a super massive black hole.
You have to respect America for respecting the pioneers of the game. That’s important. We do that a lot in our game in England. What they’ve done for women’s football across the world is massive.
Isolation among older people is a massive problem, and my grandad used to come round for Sunday lunch every week for as long as I can remember.
I think self-belief is a massive thing in football. If you don’t believe in yourself, not many others will. Work hard and believe in yourself, and I think you’ll go as far as your body will take you.
The fashion of the ’90s is a massive inspiration to me. My favorite video of all time is ‘Say You’ll Be There’ by the Spice Girls. That’s the best styling ever. If I could dress like that every day, I would.
I think there is something about countries and nations that is hard to define. And, in fact, that’s probably why we create such massive boundaries – because it’s so slippery where they begin and where they end.
I’ve always stood on one fact – that all over the world, there are only two things, the Establishment and the poor people. The poor people are a massive majority and across the world they are exploited in different kinds of ways. The Establishment depends on exploiting raw materials and the poor.
I went out there, and I fought Anderson Silva, and you know what? I got a big W, and that’s massive for my career going forward.
If every country committed to spending 0.05 per cent of GDP on researching non-carbon-emitting energy technologies, that would cost $25 billion a year, and it would do a lot more than massive carbon cuts to fight warming and save lives.
The competition for World Cup places is massive, and you can’t just rest on what you’ve done in the past or anything like that.
We never said the U.K. is in bad shape if it leaves the E.U.: we said the E.U. would miss a massive opportunity. Without the U.K., the E.U. may never be able to stand up against superpowers like China and the U.S.
When I ran a small IT services business in the 1990s, it had strong recurring revenues – yet I couldn’t accurately forecast cash flow for even the next few quarters. Small changes in the customer base or losing/hiring a few key employees could create massive swings in cash flow.
Beating the Germans for the first time in our history was massive.
I’m a massive Roald Dahl fan. I grew up reading his work and see a recurring theme – I have continued to love stuff that mixes the gruesome with a sort of humour. I’m drawn to that in my work.
Fossil fuel companies and their allies are funding a massive and sophisticated campaign to mislead the American people about the environmental harm caused by carbon pollution.
I liked ‘Z Cars’ – just hearing the music got me going! ‘Coronation Street’ was massive in our house. My mum used to say Ena Sharples reminded her of Gran, which she wouldn’t have been happy to hear!
I’m a massive fan of David Lynch and ‘Twin Peaks.’
I went see the horror thriller, Hannibal. I am a massive fan of Anthony Hopkins. He is superb in the film.
The Jens Pulver fight was one that was on a massive level: I was a world champion fighting a former world champion, and a guy that I looked up to. We had a great fight.
I’m not a massive reader of traditional books.
We don’t have universal health care. Education is so expensive. We have these massive problems, you know? So it makes me really happy to think that somebody could have all the music in the world for free. But at the same time, if you have enough money to pay for it, you should pay for it.
The Internet is, among other things, a massive, chaotic marketplace. Too much information, it turns out, is a lot like no information.
Federal spending is like a massive ship that takes a very long time to turn.
I’m not coming in as an advocate of sports gambling. I’m trying to be more of a realist to say it’s going on in a massive way… and I think the right course would be therefore to legalize it and regulate it.
Nearly every policy during the Obama years was anti-growth: tax increases; minimum-wage hikes; ObamaCare; Dodd-Frank regulations; massive debt spending; the Paris climate change accord; an EPA assault against American energy; massive expansions of food-stamps programs and more.
We are in a bit of a policy box and it’s going to require us being willing to give up one of the two, which is it’s okay to take on more deficits but lets put in some massive spending. Alternatively to say, ‘we’re going to go through structural unemployment for a while because we want to address deficits.’
You have the massive world that was created by Marvel, and then you have these very intimate actors around you. There was as much character work on this as there would be on a little independent film. So, I felt very fortunate in that sense.
We know the point of the 2010 Census is to count us, one by one, to tally every last resident, but the massive project of course has more prying, if limited, interests.
I just want to leave this world with a massive catalog of songs.
It was about a football program that brought in massive amounts of money. They’re going to try to cover something up, because it’s about money at the end of the day. That’s clear. There’s no ambiguity to that. Paterno is much more complicated and contradictory, and that’s why he’s interesting to me.
When you talk about Beckham, he’s a massive world icon.
I’m a massive daydreamer. I’m constantly lost within my own fantasies and my own thoughts personally, and I think maybe that is sort of represented in what we do for a living, the fact that we make believe everything and we escape into these other characters for a living.
To be picked for your country at any stage is a massive honour, and to be at a huge tournament likes the Euros is such a bonus.
Poetry can’t give us the laws and institutions and representatives, the antidotes we need: only public activism by massive numbers of citizens can do that.
I believe acting and teaching are not so far apart. As a teacher, you educate. And films educate, too, but they do it in a massive way.
The desire to share is not a vague, windy sentiment, not when you see the massive rise in live concerts in response to the phenomenon of downloading music… People want to get rid of the headphones and be part of a shared experience.
