I’d say probably Dale Earnhardt was the biggest autograph I got when I was a kid, mainly because it was so hard to get it. His lines were way longer and it nearly took an act of God to get his autograph.

Music has always been in my family, but it was mainly keyboards. I learned to play classical piano, but when I first heard the amazing bass guitar of James Jamerson, who played on all the big Motown hits of the ’60s and ’70s, I knew bass guitar was my instrument.
My initial training was on the keyboard – mainly the great American songbook. In junior high, during the day, I was a classical clarinetist, but after school, I played New Orleans jazz and big-band music.

I mainly read histories and biographies, but I’m also a big fan of Graham Swift and Thomas Hardy.

Films for TV have to be much closer to the book, mainly because the objective with a TV movie that translates literature is to get the audience, after seeing this version, to pick up the book and read it themselves. My attitude is that TV can never really be any form of art, because it serves audience expectations.
The spokesman at Newcastle, unfortunately, was mainly me. I had to manage the football club.

Mainly, I’m doing my thing, and I hope people like it. I don’t say, ‘I’m going to write something radical and hope it reverberates throughout society.’ The goal is to write a solid, entertaining, engaging show.
Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course… the space between your ears.

Forever, for me, it was just about trying to make it and become a known person and loved and revered in hip-hop and the culture. But then ,I even realized that that isn’t really important. What’s mainly important is just the fans and the connection that you have as a man and an artist.
Most days I struggle just to be accepted into the camp of plain old feminists. This is mainly because I am not by nature ideological and generally suspicious of people who are.

In India, freedom has to be about equality – mainly between men and women in terms of education and work.
I have become an adjective. There is something called a Rovian-style of campaigning and it’s meant as an insult. One columnist said it consists mainly of throwing mud until it sticks. One prominent blogger described the elements of a textbook Rovian race as fear-based, smear-based and anything goes.
I do mixed martial arts, mainly kickboxing.
Every day is different when I’m home, but mainly I just surf. There’s no nightlife or shopping, so it’s pretty mellow but really nice to come back to after a trip or an event. If you’re traveling, you’re all stressed out, then you get to Kauai, and nothing matters anymore.
Mainly I study the sense of touch and what the molecules are that transduce touch. And I use mutants in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to look at that problem.

Most challenging, mainly for me, learning how to bump, learning to trust your body and trust somebody else with your body, when we’re learning how to do bodyslams and suplexes and figuring out how to kick somebody right while making sure to protect each other.

A novelist’s sense that he or she is ‘above’ a certain genre mainly comes out of the notion that the genre is somehow a debased version of his or her preferred form.

Mainly, I don’t like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people; it doesn’t sound good to me.

A totalitarian power is mainly busy in keeping itself alive.
On the whole, books are indeed less finite than ourselves. Even the worst among them outlast their authors – mainly because they occupy a smaller amount of physical space than those who penned them. Often they sit on the shelves absorbing dust long after the writer himself has turned into a handful of dust.
I’ve studied a technique called the Sanford Miesner technique, that teaches you how to focus. It’s mainly about daydreaming. And the technique’s really about imaginary circumstances. Using your imagination to sort of daydream about stuff. It makes you emotional in a scene.

There is a continuum of values between the churches and the general community. What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved.
At last, after completing year 12, I failed the great final examination, repeated the following year and failed again even more dismally than before. This was not an easy thing to do. My mates did the simple thing in the first place and mainly passed with honours and went on to have remarkably successful lives.
I feel like my first conversation with someone, I really get a good feeling about who that person is and mainly about how open they are.
You would think, because I stayed to myself and I was shy, that I’d be a good student, but actually, I was a bad student. I was in detention a lot, mainly for cutting, being late to class. I was in tardy hall a lot. I hate the idea of homework. I don’t get it.

I immediately called the command center of the Department of Justice to let them know that my wife was on a plane that had been hijacked. I mainly wanted them know there was another hijacked plane out there.
Although being economics editor sounds impressive, it does not mean I actually edit anything. It mainly reflects two decades of title-inflation at the BBC, which has given ever more status to senior reporters, presumably because it is cheaper to do that than to offer higher pay.
I studied neuroscience at the cellular level, so I was looking at learning and memory in the visual cortex of rats. Neuroscience mainly exposed me to a way of thinking – about experimentation, about what you believe to be true and how you could prove it – and how to approach things in a methodical manner.
I don’t smoke, but people say that you get secondhand smoke. But this is a country that was founded mainly on the tobacco industry – tobacco and coffee. It’s so surprising that they are now essentially making cigarettes illegal, when that is where the whole country came from.

I was mainly raised by a working mum who didn’t have much time or inclination for making food. So I had three or four basic meals: fish fingers and a tomato; a packet scotch egg and a tomato; pasta with a tin of tomatoes; and extra mild plastic-y cheddar chopped into cubes with bits of cucumber.

So much of my life is not about work and that is usually mainly what I do tweet about. We live a very quiet life.

I turned down some movies that were quite good. mainly on the basis of taste.
I changed from ‘Zoo Kid’ to ‘King Krule’ mainly because I didn’t want to be called a ‘Kid’ when I was 20, so I just thought I’d get rid of that alias and change it now while I’m younger. I wanted to change it quick. and ‘King Krule’ was the first thing that came into my head.
In retrospect, I have devoted my scientific life mainly to the question to what extent infectious agents contribute to human cancer, trusting that this will contribute to novel modes of cancer prevention, diagnosis and, hopefully, later on, also to cancer therapy.
I became quite successful very young, and it was mainly because I was so enthusiastic and I just worked so hard at it.

Altered social conditions may remove certain ailments and deformities in existing society. But the new and more beautiful society will not be formed exclusively – or even mainly – by improved conditions, but above all by more perfect human beings.

The character I’ve created, Christine, is mainly the first attempt for me to escape all the secret injunctions we have as girls all the time. Like, be pretty but be polite. Don’t take too much space. All those things that didn’t mean anything to me. I just decided to turn them around with my character.

I have a Wii at home that I mainly play ‘Punch-Out!’ on.
I wish I was fighting Jason High in his hometown. I would put him to sleep in front of all his fans. He’s mainly a wrestler, but I’m an All-American wrestler. So I’m really not worried about Jason High.
I mainly buy books in my free time.
I trained in medicine after pursuing an academic career in the humanities, mainly because of my interest in the relationship between mind and body, and between mind and brain.
I don’t regret anything about my younger career, mainly because we were children and didn’t have too much power, but also because it gave us the privilege to be where we are now.

I must assert in the most unqualified way that it is primarily and mainly for the sake of saving the soul that I seek the salvation of the body.
I’m mainly a dancer, but I’ve been offered to write songs on albums this year, and that’s really cool. I never thought I’d get to do that. It’s out of my comfort zone, but I loved having that input. It makes you feel more involved, when you have that creative control.
Good suits don’t come from anywhere, though – I mainly wear Armani, Louis Vuitton and Burberry.

I liked watching Rossi, his style, his colours and everything. He was someone I looked up to and until now he is still my only hero. He is the king of motorbikes and most people like Rossi mainly because he comes across as a pretty fun and good character. He is cool and has a good style and look.
