Oh, how I regret not having worn a bikini for the entire year I was 26. If anyone young is reading this, go, right this minute, put on a bikini, and don’t take it off until you’re 34.
The minute you or anybody else knows what you are you are not it, you are what you or anybody else knows you are and as everything in living is made up of finding out what you are it is extraordinarily difficult really not to know what you are and yet to be that thing.
I’ve always deplored bad heterosexual values that dictate the minute a marriage is over the former partners no longer speak to each other; only straights could be so cruel and inhuman as to reject totally the person with whom they’ve shared their life for 20 or 30 years.
When you do well at an audition, it is the highest high you can achieve because you just beat yourself. You became whatever it was, for a minute. It’s a great feeling when that happens.
My idea with ‘4 Degrees’ was to articulate, for a minute, not my ideal vision of how I wanted to perceive my relationship to nature but the reality. If I could give a voice to my behavior, what would that voice be? Taking planes, enjoying first-world fossil fuel, an addict of first-world comfort.
You mentioned Ross Perot. Mr. Perot jumped into the race at the last minute, had one issue that he ran on, the budget deficit, was in and out of the race a couple of times, and still got 20 million votes, didn’t have the Internet.
It’s a sport about risk and reward. It’s a sport about becoming a legend. You look at guys that have stepped up on last minute, and it changed their lives. I don’t think that I should be any different.
The one important thing you do as boss is you set the standard. The minute you go in and say ‘we’ll let it go this time,’ you set a new standard, which is lower. So you cannot do that.
Everyone’s supposed to stay in their lines and be neat. ‘You’re a rapper. You’re supposed to rap, carry a boom box, wear chains, and go to the club – that’s all you do. What are you doing collecting art? What are you talking about? Wait a minute, you’re getting out of the zone.’ People hate when people cross lines.
Back in the day, fans wrote letters to groups – you’d get them, although it could take a while. Now, artists can go online and there’s discussions about what you should and shouldn’t be doing. The minute you announce that you’re recording an album, thousands of people are telling you what that album should be.
I’ve gone through literally over 30 years of struggle with weight and food and body image… and I’m like, ‘Wait a minute.’
The minute you think you’ve got it made, disaster is just around the corner.
It’s a really cool time for artists who want to strive for a little more depth in what they want to say to come forward. We live in a very fast world right now. We’ve got all this media and music which is so accessible to us, it’s here one minute gone the next.
The minute a collective alliance fails to live up to its agreement to collective defence, then from that moment on, everybody is on the run.
Sometimes, you don’t know what’s going to happen to your character until the night before you shoot the scene. So, sometimes, you get a great big surprise at the very last minute, which is scary sometimes. You don’t have a whole lot of time to prepare.
I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.
I know you can be up one minute and drop the next, so I’m trying to maintain a steady course so I can have some longevity.
For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.
There are times when I’ve had ideas walking down the street that I thought were great, and the minute I got onstage, I would think of them and go, ‘Wow, that would never work,’ even before I did it in front of the audience.
I came home in the afternoon to sleep, and there was this e-mail from Comedy Central saying they were interested in having me be part of this new show called ‘Jump Cuts’! So I called them right away, and the producer started laughing and said, ‘We sent that e-mail one minute ago – you’re so fast!’
CEOs are worried they’re going to get fired any minute. They’re worried about their portfolios.
I think that, to be an artist, you have to have a big enough ego to believe that people out in the world want to see what you think is a good idea. And if you don’t have that sense of ego, then the minute that idea goes into the world, self-doubt kicks in.
I’m really fortunate that I type 120 words a minute.
As a kid I watched television 24 hours a day and loved every minute of it. The two shows that always make me laugh and are therefore my favourites are The Dick Van Dyke Show and Fawlty Towers.
Our Founders always wondered about how long it would last. The price of liberty is everlasting vigilance. You’ve got to be on your guard every minute or you will lose it.
It’s just really, really beautiful. Each scene is one long 15 minute take without cutting. My scene is with Robin Wright-Penn so I’m pretty excited about that.
I am definitely still the same kid that I was picking up the guitar at 15. But, I have definitely learned to be more flexible and roll with the punches. It’s such an unpredictable business to be in and it’s insane how things change so last minute.
A lot of people who claim they’re political comedians are just comedians who have opinions. But they stop being funny the minute they give their opinions.
Greatness can never be over because you can lay it down for a minute.
Walmart is not arrogant. We could go away at any minute. I think most of us act that way every day. If you’re not willing to fail – and we are failing at some things – you’re going to go away.
We Brazilians, happily or unhappily, leave a lot to the last minute.
I would do a Byrds tour or a Byrds record in a minute. I miss that band now. I’ve tried to convince Roger over and over to do it, but he’s not interested. Music isn’t something you can legislate into being.
I remember my mom saying, ‘I will take you to every audition, I will support you, but the minute you stop caring about it, I will stop.’
Think of what happened after 9/11, the minute before there was any assessment, there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq, and so the war drums beat.
I really love New York, but I have to say, the humidity during the summer is a nightmare for a cartoonist. Not only am I sweating in my studio, my bristol board is curling up, the drafting tape is peeling off the board, my Rapidograph pens bleed the minute I put them to paper… it’s a disaster.
I worked my butt off in high school and received a lot of scholarships for college and to throw all that away for acting was tough for my family, but it was just something I felt my heart pulling me towards and don’t regret a single minute of it. I love to act!
When running to fill a time quota, however, the reverse happens. You can’t make that time pass any faster by rushing, so you settle into a pace that feels right to you at the moment. Each minute above a quota is a little victory.
So people think I’m lying about my age all the time? It’s the records that are wrong. I’ve never told anyone how old I am. The minute they ask me, I say ‘That’s none of your business.’ So that means I’ve never once lied about my age. Now that’s true!
I don’t regret either of my marriages – not for a minute.
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.
Since thou are not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour.
I’m very grateful for what I have. I’m old enough that I can mort out at any minute without any sense of regret at all. That’s not true. I might look back and think I wish I hadn’t been so selfish when my kids were smaller. But I’m not overwhelmed by regret.
The minute you make people laugh, you get them to listen.
It’s different for every song. But for ‘Say Something,’ I think it was Chad who had an idea on guitar, and I had an idea on piano for different songs, and we just married them together. We bounce things off each other constantly and kind of massage all these ideas into a three and a half minute pop song.
Someone once told me that every minute a murder occurs, so I don’t want to waste your time, I know you want to go back to work.
A minute’s success pays the failure of years.
For me, ‘The Crystal Skull’ was something I’d never done before, and I loved every minute of it. Working with Harrison Ford as well – he’s a cowboy from Montana, the most unassuming man you’ll ever work with, fabulous guy, and I loved it.
The minute viewers callin or write about your looks, they were not listening to what you were saying.
I get cast at the last minute. I don’t know, maybe somebody drops out and they can’t get someone, and someone is like, ‘Oh, how about Katia Winter?’
I just got off stage playing with Lynyrd Skynyrd a minute ago. It was a great show. Got to meet some incredible guests. This is the bee’s knees.
I drink Diet Coke from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed.
We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.
In the next minute, I will be entirely naked. In the minute after that, fully dressed.
