As so much music is listened to via MP3 download, many will never experience the joy of analog playback, and for them, I feel sorry. They are missing out.

I don’t like missing a game.

I have two younger sisters, and during those first four years when I was in Argentina, I wasn’t around to see them grow up. It was very hard for all of us because missing out on that period and not seeing them grow up was tough for me.
I’m trying to avoid having regrets about missing opportunities. That would be the worst thing. Like having an audience waiting, and not working hard enough, and coming out with a record that disappointed them.
Eighty percent of flavor comes from your nose, including a set of internal nostrils. When you chew food and hold it in your mouth, the gases that are released goes into these nostrils. People who wolf their food are missing some of the flavor.
I married my husband because I loved him, and I don’t feel like there’s anybody missing from our marriage, but when you think about this person that you love, and you think about what a wonderful thing it would be to bring another person like that into this world, I think that’s the hardest part about all of it.

I can be a friend from a million miles away. I can play basketball in China. The only thing I can’t do is be a father. I missed my kids’ first basketball game. I missed birthdays. I can talk to you from a million miles away, but I was missing the dad part of life.
‘Nuclear’ is nothing but trouble. Do you say ‘new-clear’ or do you say ‘nuke-you-ler’? Whoever invented that word had obviously never studied the human mouth. We don’t have enough muscles in our face to make that group of letters come out smoothly. The word is missing a middle syllable, for cryin’ out loud.
While ‘Visitation Street’ has the markings of a traditional whodunnit mystery – starting with a missing girl, intrigue and many suspicious characters – Pochoda shows her hand early on by fingering a culprit. The book turns, then, into a ‘whydunnit.’
The rules are learnt in order to be broken, but if you don’t know them, then something is missing.

Nobody worked harder than Mozart. By the time he was twenty-eight years old, his hands were deformed because of all the hours he had spent practicing, performing, and gripping a quill pen to compose. That’s the missing element in the popular portrait of Mozart.
There’s something missing about how we’re informing the youngsters coming along about what matters in the world. We teach them the numbers and the letters, but we fail to communicate the importance of our connection to the living world.
The RFA requires federal agencies to assess the economic impact of their regulations on small firms, and if significant, consider less burdensome alternatives. Federal agencies sometimes fail to comply at all, or simply ‘check the box,’ fulfilling the letter of the law, while missing the purpose of the law entirely.
Anyone who faults Romney or Obama or any public figure for demanding quote approval is missing the point. The journalists were no abused weaklings here.

My whole family is missing that sports gene. I hope I didn’t screw that up by marrying a great golfer.

Me and my daughter, we are obsessed with makeup and so are our followers, and we communicate, we want to know what they like, what they want, what is their perfect, ideal product that’s missing on the market? So everything we create, we share and we give credit to our followers.

I find so many songwriters today are missing an element… either the production is amazing but the songs aren’t, or it’s the other way around.
We’re trying to plug a void and bring what’s been missing back to hip-hop.
Now we’re getting a whole generation of kids who have never had a football team in L.A., so they don’t miss it and don’t ask for it. It becomes self-perpetuating. They don’t know what they’re missing.
I’ve gone through several cycles. When I was little, I was the cute kid with missing teeth and funny one-liners. Then I moved on to be the young guy who wanted to be a grownup.
One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up for missing out on my childhood. But the idea of money – putting a price on your childhood – is ridiculous. You will never get those years back and you can’t put a price on them.
You always know. You have basic needs, and when they aren’t met, your body sends signals. Hunger, loneliness, exhaustion, thirst, and fear are all signals that something is missing, and you need to act on it now.
So, do I think I’m missing something? I really don’t, and I think that comes with age.
Originality is definitely missing from EDM. There are people looking for it and exploring but I feel it’s so big now it is just getting milked. House music is losing all its melody as it becomes more about how dirty the drop is and how energetic it is. It loses touch with what music really is.
There are places all over the world that are missing burger places.
Filming ‘It’s Not Rocket Science’ has made me realise I’m missing the part of my brain that warns me about danger because – even though the tasks are terrifying – I find it really exciting.
The thing that I’ve always been slightly frustrated with, was that the idea of a CD is kind of confined to a material possession that you can put on a shelf. And the idea of music, for me, is always about both the communication and the sharing of content. And so the interactive part is missing.
The missing toothbrush was nothing compared with the fact that the spacecraft was orientated to ascend, not descend. I would have gone up and up instead of going back down to the ground.
