Since 1869, baseball has been doing pretty well.
My life is not that glamorous. I actually live a pretty simple life, really. I just work. I don’t have time to do all these glamorous things. I just do my thing, just work.
Just going to Africa is amazing; it all comes back to the motherland. It’s pretty much where everything started.
In 1978, the first flag was organic everything. It did have eight colors: the six colors of the rainbow we see today plus hot pink and turquoise. But pretty quickly on I realized that I would never be able to satisfy the demand for them by hand-dying fabric and these colors.
It’s pretty far, but it doesn’t seem like it.
The idea of writer as sage is pretty much dead today. I would certainly feel very uncomfortable in the role.
I play football once or twice a week. I eat pretty healthy. I’m in fairly good shape most of the time.
To come in and win three races already this year and maybe set a record by winning four is pretty unique. But guys like Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace and these guys are not wanting that to happen.
David Bowie is my biggest inspiration. Pretty much the only thing that stayed the same with Bowie was his eyes. Everything else constantly changed, from his sexuality to his songs.
The suicide-bombing community is not absolutely 100 percent religious, but it is pretty nearly 100 percent religious.
When it comes to relationships, I think I’m pretty experienced – you’d be surprised.
Not being beautiful was the true blessing. Not being beautiful forced me to develop my inner resources. The pretty girl has a handicap to overcome.
Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go its pretty damn good.
I am not the only intense or intellectual cricketer. I played with other cricketers who could be pretty intense and intellectual.
Honestly, I grew up in pretty modest circumstances. We were a middle-class family.
I would say I’m pretty well at ease with my sexuality, but I’m an individual before I am a female.
That process by which you become a writer is a pretty lonely one. We don’t have a group apprenticeship like a violinist might training for an orchestra.
In life, I’m pretty low-key and quite non-descript.
I am a big lover of the environment. I actually come from Maine, which is pretty much all environment.
Women wish to be loved without a why or a wherefore; not because they are pretty, or good, or well-bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.
Mother liked beauty wherever she found it, and she found it in many different places, both in nature and in contemporary art. And that’s where they pretty much parted company. Father… anything that was abstract would to him automatically be not very good.
I’ve pretty much given up on the orange. I really have. I just don’t even bother. It’s just either sour, or woody, or the skin’s too thick. It’s very nice when you come across the perfect orange, because it’s really a beautiful experience. But the stakes are too high.
I wish I was a prolific writing wondrous boy genius – I wish I was Stevie Wonder – but I wasn’t. I was me. I wrote terrible songs about girls I was head-over-heels about. As soon as a pretty girl looks at me, that’s it – I’m in love, and I should probably write a song about it!
I love essential oils – there’s one for every problem. It’s kind of like nature’s answers for what to put on your skin. I had acne when I was a teenager, and I did a pretty intense tea tree thing. You dilute it in a base oil, like carrot seed oil, which is good because it gives your face a little glow.
I’m pretty low-key. I’m pretty boring, to be honest.
Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end.
I’ll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day.
Doing nothing would stress me out. So I am still pretty much active practicing judo with my friends, who are former judo athletes, to maintain our fitness as well as the friendships among us. In my spare time, I usually go jogging around the Gelora Bung Karno stadium or head to the gym.
Pretty woman, I don’t believe you, you’re not the truth. No one could look as good as you, mercy.
I write a lot, and very often I write a couple of lines that are particularly revealing in some kind of way. And then as a few more lines get added and a piece gets added, eventually the song pretty much takes over and you can’t really find a way to change those things.
People often remark that I’m pretty lucky. Luck is only important in so far as getting the chance to sell yourself at the right moment. After that, you’ve got to have talent and know how to use it.
Laughter is the best medicine – unless you’re diabetic, then insulin comes pretty high on the list.
If you think scrawling your Twitter handle on a bus window with a Sharpie is a worthwhile way to gain followers, your social media strategy is headed in a pretty pathetic direction.
Training in taekwondo for eight years and then being able to do it in a film was pretty amazing.
I’m humble ’cause I think many years ago people say, ‘Well, Alibaba’s terrible company’. And I know we were not that terrible. We’re pretty good; we’re better than people thought. But today, when people have a high expectation on you, and I start to worry and nervous because we are not good yet.
Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
Cuz I was never pretty anyway and never cared anything about that.
The evidence is pretty strong: if you have access to family planning and birth control, the abortion rate is going to go down.
Some borrowers are pretty damn good at fraud.
I love my friends, but I feel pretty autonomous.
I went to a nutritionist; my diet is pretty clean, but I wanted to get some more knowledge and understanding in some areas. My two favorite things, Clif Bars and lattes, she just destroyed in our first meeting. Coffee is fine, but soy is the most genetically modified food that we eat.
You play against an opponent so much the numbers got to match at some point! I played against the Raiders six years straight pretty much. I played against them more than any team I’ve ever played.
I’m not just a pretty face.
When life hits you pretty hard, you can go into a dark corner.
You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There’s another day you might want to know about: Giving Tuesday. The idea is pretty straightforward. On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, shoppers take a break from their gift-buying and donate what they can to charity.
I don’t use deodorant. If you drink enough water, you shouldn’t have to. I think I smell pretty good without it.
I felt so out of place at the Miss India pageant. I had just come back from America, and I was told I needed to lose my American accent and learn the Queen’s English, so I had to enunciate my vowels and speak well and eloquently. Giving up a New York accent is pretty hard.
I’m pretty neurotic.
There are two things that I really love; vintage clothing and books. Mash the two together and I pretty much peak on personal joy levels.
I can come off as pretty arrogant, but it’s because I know I’m right. I’m very, very good at writing protocols. I’ve accomplished more working on my own than I ever did as part of a team.
I think you can learn from pretty much everybody if you just open your eyes.
I guess people wonder if I’m the same on camera as I am off, and I’m pretty much the same, I really am. But that’s always asked of me.
My big thing is to make sure the lipsticks taste good when you kiss. And, well, so far they taste pretty darn good.
That’s pretty much all I do – skate, surf, and jam.
I’m pretty much a chocolate guy. I’m up for any type of chocolate. Any chocolate.
When you lose for the All Blacks it’s not a nice feeling. Expectations on us are pretty high. We have high standards and we know if we’ve let ourselves or let the jersey down.
My cow is not pretty, but it is pretty to me.
When my record company rejected ‘Full Moon Fever’, I was hurt so bad. I was pretty far along in my career at that point. I’d never had anything rejected; I’d never really even had a comment. So when that happened, it was really just a board to the forehead. But then, finally, I picked myself up.
I’m doing pretty good on my own, when I can control my tongue.
One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won’t jump out. Instead, it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.
When I’m working, I’m pretty busy with that, but when I’m not, yeah, I like to make music. I sing in jazz bars and stuff, and then I mainly paint every day. It’s kind of like a different side of my mind I like to use, and it keeps the other one fresh, and yeah, writing, I’ve been writing with some friends.
Life is pretty surreal and awesome.
