I am just too much.
I don’t consider myself a comedian because I don’t really concern myself too much with jokes.
I can’t stress too much how much Ry Cooder was an influence on me. Having one of the most respected musicians around like my singing really gave me the confidence to do it.
It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.
I have no inhibitions about smoking or drinking, but I think too much of my voice to place it in jeopardy. I have spent many good years in training and cultivating it, and I would be foolish to do anything which might impair or ruin it.
Philosophers are very severe towards other philosophers because they expect too much.
Ajax was spending too much money; they were buying players that were too expensive. If you get 100 per cent, you can’t spend 120 per cent. It’s quite easy.
Money often costs too much.
They say that women talk too much. If you have worked in Congress you know that the filibuster was invented by men.
Play difficult and interesting things. If you play boring things, you risk losing your appetite. Saxophone can be tedious with too much of the same.
I don’t think about being a public persona too much – I just get on with what I’m doing.
Composers shouldn’t think too much – it interferes with their plagiarism.
I do find comedy difficult. I don’t know why. Maybe I think about it too much. There’s a tremendous amount of pressure to be funny.
When you get to an event like the Olympic Games, you can put too much pressure on yourself.
I’d like to think I could do something great – a performance like Meryl Streep’s in ‘Sophie’s Choice’ – at some point in my life. At the same time, though, I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself to be great.
Obviously, a lot of things play on your mind when you’re batting. This might happen and this might not. The best thing you can do when you’re batting is not to think too much, and wait for the next ball.
When I was growing up, there wasn’t too much technology. There weren’t so many channels that we were glued to on TV. We had to go outside and create our games. Kids had the habit of being active and exercising, just enjoying the fresh air.
The biggest mistake people make is to try to lose too much weight too fast.
Most of my guitars have been instruments that look cool. I’m not picky. I never think, ‘Oh, this neck isn’t made of ebony,’ or, ‘These strings don’t feel correct.’ It doesn’t matter too much.
It doesn’t do to eat too much before a performance.
It is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is ‘soporific’.
Too much of the GDP over the last generation has gone to too few of the people.
People say I contradict myself because I come gangsta and teach at the same time. I don’t want to be too much on either side, but I do want to speak to all audiences.
Economists tend to think they are much, much smarter than historians, than everybody. And this is a bit too much because at the end of the day, we don’t know very much in economics.
We spend too much time talking about each other, at each other, past each other, and not enough time talking with each other.
Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish – too much handling will spoil it.
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won’t contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That’s what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
If I thought about it, I could be bitter, but I don’t feel like being bitter. Being bitter makes you immobile, and there’s too much that I still want to do.
I’m not making comedy albums. That’s too much effort for one joke.
Art gives us the opportunity to have clarity as well as hope that we might be able to survive a situation, or hope that we can find a way out of it without too much more injury to ourselves.
One must take things lightly, after all, we are entertainers and acting isn’t rocket science. The trick is, not to take criticism to the heart or analyse things too much.
Glamour is a beautiful illusion – the word ‘glamour’ originally meant a literal magic spell – that promises to transcend ordinary life and make the ideal real. It depends on a special combination of mystery and grace. Too much information breaks the spell.
When people say there is too much violence in my books, what they are saying is there is too much reality in life.
Where love is concerned, too much is not even enough.
I have seen too much not to know that the impression of a woman may be more valuable than the conclusion of an analytical reasoner.
Book tours and research provide a lot of travel – too much, I sometimes think, but we do take vacations.
I care. I care about it all. It takes too much energy not to care.
Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.
I am just too much.
I follow my own advice: eat less, move more, eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and grains, and don’t eat too much junk food. It leaves plenty of flexibility for eating an occasional junk food.
My daily style is easy and effortless – I don’t like to take too much time getting ready.
For me, it’s very hard to train too much, just sparring, sparring, sparring. It’s boring.

When I was in high school, I looked for the black presence in a British historical tradition – before too much slavery and empire – that would not cost me my self-respect.
Trust not too much to appearances.
There is a real vulgarity in the way women dress at the moment. They show off too much and try too hard. They don’t understand where the line is between sexy and vulgar. I know where that line is.
If I see someone I think is in a better position than me, it is better for me to give the ball. Now I shoot more at goal. When I was young, they sometimes said to me, ‘You need to shoot more. You try to give it too much.’ It is something that I learned. To try to take the best option.
Too much may be the equivalent of none at all.
If I’m hip, we’ve got a problem in this country. I really shouldn’t be held up as any model of hipness. If anything, I think I’m sort of old school in my approach to objective reporting and not wearing my opinion on my sleeve. There’s a lot of that in American TV news these days. Too much, in fact.
You might be asking too much if you’re looking for one vaccine for every conceivable influenza. If you have one or two that cover the vast majority of isolates, I wouldn’t be ashamed to call that a ‘universal vaccine.’
I try not to drink too much because when I’m drunk, I bite.
And you can’t have a prosperous economy when the government is way overspending, raising tax rates, printing too much money, over regulating and restricting free trade. It just can’t be done.
‘Great Expectations’ has been described as ‘Dickens’s harshest indictment of society.’ Which it is. After all, it’s about money. About not having enough money; about the fever of the getting of money; about having too much money; about the taint of money.
When you have kids, you instantly feel that you do not want to do them wrong. Those dads that go off to Florida and start a new life, I couldn’t imagine that: seeing my kid once every Christmas, every three years. If I’m gone for six days it feels like too much.
I talk too much.
It must be a balance in everything we do, not too much of everything, keep it simple, not complicated.
In my opinion eight years as president is enough and sometimes too much for any man to serve in that capacity.
I adored my birth father and constantly worried that I was being disloyal to him and his schoolteacher roots if I spent too much time performing and enjoying it.
I try to not think too much about how stuff gets seen as it’s being done by a woman. Because if you think about it, then you end up thinking about how you’re acting, and if you are thinking about how you’re acting, then you are preoccupied and you’re going to end up being insincere. You’re kind of not present.
Too much freedom can lead to the soul’s decay.
I do like the idea of women not showing too much, of them being quite reserved in a way, and quite covered.
I think mental illness or madness can be an escape also. People don’t develop a mental illness because they are in the happiest of situations, usually. One doctor observed that it was rare when people were rich to become schizophrenic. If they were poor or didn’t have too much money, then it was more likely.
Money is just a consequence. I always say to my team, ‘Don’t worry too much about profitability. If you do your job well, the profitability will come.’
A hair-hopper is someone who pretends they’re rich, who really wasn’t brought up very wealthy but now tries to brag that they’re rich, and they spend too much time on their hair.

Truth suffers from too much analysis.
