I was a little bit of a slob who was sort of surrounded by dirty laundry. I can trace the exact moment that I became a tidy human being, and that moment was the day my son Sam was born.
Sometimes games may not go the way you plan it, and sometimes you have to do the dirty, gritty stuff well – you have to tackle; you have to run. I learned that when I was young, and it is a good feeling to work hard for the team, to get the ball back.
‘Capitalism’ is a dirty word for many intellectuals, but there are a number of studies showing that open economies and free trade are negatively correlated with genocide and war.
Engineering stimulates the mind. Kids get bored easily. They have got to get out and get their hands dirty: make things, dismantle things, fix things. When the schools can offer that, you’ll have an engineer for life.
I kind of thought the writers were starting to take Taylor and make her kind of down and dirty.
The thing that makes ‘Dirty Jobs’ different is that it’s one of the few shows that portrays work in a way that doesn’t highlight the drudgery. Instead, it highlights the humor.
I have never subscribed to the Dirty Pallet school of painting.
You know ‘The Shawshank Redemption?’ I’ve seen that movie, like, 30 times or something. ‘Dirty Harry,’ too – I love that movie.
You can’t do people wrong. You can’t do people dirty or put people’s life in jeopardy and expect to walk away freely and just continue to live this happy and prosperous life. That’s not how the universe and the way of life works.
Men rarely worry about using or being used because all relationships work that way. A man perceives himself as owning and being owned by a woman. ‘Use’ is a dirty word only when there’s an imbalance in the relationship.
I’lI say this: I recall entering Congress in 1971 and being called a ‘feminist’ by members of my own party as if it was a dirty word. They didn’t realize that I wore that label as a badge of honor.
Mud-pies gratify one of our first and best instincts. So long as we are dirty, we are pure.
Purcell is a composer who had a formative influence on British music – even The Who now cite him as an influence. There’s an intense, dirty harmony, but there’s a Louis XIV kind of elan and style, too. He had the melancholy DNA of our national folk heritage.
After shows my face feels dirty with makeup and sweat, especially in the smaller venues, so it feels good to get back to the bus and smooth it away. Sometimes you need something alcohol-based, especially on tour when you don’t always get a chance to keep washing your face all the time.
Super Tuesday is the day on which most states hold their primaries. Its darker partner is Dirty Tricks Thursday: the Thursday before an election when candidates release scandalous stories to garner bad publicity for their opponent: the timing means the accused will have little time to refute the allegations.
What’s distinctively shocking about Machiavelli is that he didn’t care. He believed not only that politicians must do evil in the name of the public good, but also that they shouldn’t worry about it. He was unconcerned, in other words, with what modern thinkers call ‘the problem of dirty hands.’
I’ve always loved being outdoors, getting my hands dirty.
I grew up in the ’80s in an era that was tough. The Pistons, Celtics, Knicks, Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason. It wasn’t dirty. It was just men playing basketball.
I’ve watched my fair share of ‘Housewives.’ And I just felt a little dirty afterwards.
Speculators get a bad rap. In the popular imagination they’re greedy, heedless, and amoral, adept at price manipulations and dirty tricks. In reality, they often play a key role in making markets run smoothly.
You don’t want to take the world over with a whole hamper full of dirty clothes. That’s the main thing people overlook. And take a shower, take a bath every day.
It’s been awesome going indie. I don’t need to be on a major label. I love not having to walk into a specific radio person’s office to try to convince someone to play my songs. At the end of the day, it’s more work, but I’ve discovered that I like to get my hands dirty.
You dirty, double-crossing rat.
When you read a supernatural suspense story or a ghost story, or a horror story, the evil at play is something that you can dismiss. And I wonder if, in this time, if people really want to be sitting on the subway reading a book about someone releasing a dirty bomb on the subway.
I see L.A. as a beautiful blonde with dirty underwear.
I’ve never had dirty teams.
The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. He’s dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he’s a hero the whole time.
My mom never cared if I came home dirty from playing outside with my brother. If I got my dress muddy, or my jeans were ripped, or I got blood on something. But I think a lot of girls have a different experience.
When I first started, it was a dirty word to say you made clothes for people to wear… I was a little ashamed of it. You didn’t always feel you were this amazing creative force.
Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species.
I’m a big-guy guy. I look at guys like Shaq, Ben Wallace, guys who play inside and play tough. I don’t pay much attention to the little guys; I like the big guys who do the dirty work.
The dirty little secret the media doesn’t want to admit is that Trump generates such good content that they can’t help covering him even when they hate him.
I can’t do the same thing every night, the same gestures… it’s like putting on dirty panties every day.
I’m apparently attracted to things that are on the edge of what America really wants to watch: ‘Six Feet Under,’ ‘Sports Night,’ ‘Dirty Sexy Money,’ and ‘Parenthood’ were always struggling in the ratings. It was kind of heartbreaking not knowing if we get to come back every season.
I don’t mind being criticised, because I am not that easy to knock down, and no-one can destroy me. But I am bothered by the stupid people who call me dirty, brainless, and an idiot. You don’t say words like these to someone who you know nothing about.
‘Change’ is seen as a dirty word, but personally, I’m searching for it.
I am well aware of it myself that I have to be careful. But I want to make it clear that I am not a dirty player.
I’m a hopeless romantic with a dirty mind.
While I was shooting for ‘NH10,’ my hair had to look dirty in the film. To improve the texture… quality of hair, I had to use a lot of conditioner.
There’s definitely some parallels between me and Joaquin Phoenix, I think. The line gets so blurry. My rap career wasn’t a hoax, but it was absolutely intended to be a joke. The problem was that I really was on a quest to somehow be a Caucasian Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
The dirty secret is that climate change is not really a partisan issue in Congress.
It’s bred in me that I only see real work as getting stuck in and getting your hands dirty.
It’s hard to explain exactly what it feels like to be judged. There’s a shame to it. Even when you know you’re innocent. It still feels like you are coated in something dirty and evil.
The delta blues is a low-down, dirty shame blues. It’s a sad, big wide sound, something to make you think about people who are dead or the women who left you.
When I got the call to do a song for the sound track for this little movie that I was told was called ‘Dancing Dirty,’ I wasnt that wild about the idea. Probably no one would ever see it. What good would it do? But I said: ‘What the heck… I’ve got nothing better to do.’
If 10 years from now, when you are doing something quick and dirty, you suddenly visualize that I am looking over your shoulders and say to yourself: ‘Dijkstra would not have liked this’, well that would be enough immortality for me.
I think my favorite place to eat dinner is the movie theater. Dirty dogs, a big thing of nachos and a Cherry Coke – and I’m good.
The puppet characters were combinations of people I had known and to some degree aspects of my own personality. Weird was based on someone I knew in Chicago. Dirty Dragon was based on a good friend I had in Indianapolis.
The post-Soviet mafia wove a spider’s web of dirty money around the world. Where better to attack it than to start with the Ukrainian criminal heavyweights – the ‘family’ and its closest circle?
As someone who has carved out a career in this league by making winning plays, being tough on defense and just generally doing the dirty work for my team, I always hesitate to say any player is unguardable. I just hate that term.
I love nothing better than a dirty cartoon. I think that it’s really, really funny to see adult themes in a genre that’s usually directed towards children.
We think that democracy can change a lot of things, but we’re being fooled, because democracy is not the election. We’ve been taught that democracy is having elections. And it isn’t. Elections are the most horrendous aspect of democracy. It’s the most mundane, trivial, disappointing, dirty aspect.
Opening up the Capitol dome and giving the public a look at the inner workings of Congress – however messy they may be – certainly won’t be pretty. But trust isn’t earned by showing off only your Sunday best. The dirty laundry has to be aired, too.
I love being grungy and dirty.
