There is a very strong theatre-going tradition in Moscow. It has stayed strong.
I was on Saipan when I got hit. Not too bad, but bad enough to hamper me if I stayed. I was hit in my left buttocks just below the belt line.
I just essentially stayed at home for three years and just learned to play as many instruments as I could and listened to as many singers as I could. Like, when I got to about 19/20, I started listening to singers. I normally just listened to bands. Now I listen to a lot of old singers, not a lot of new stuff.
I get on all right with my parents. But I don’t see them very much. They split up when I was eight. I stayed with my mum, but I felt it was a bit soft with her. I could do whatever I liked, and I wasn’t getting nowhere, so I went to stay with my dad.
Growing up in Terre Haute, Indiana, there’s not a whole lot to do. What I did was I just went to the basketball court at the Boys & Girls Club and literally stayed there all day until my mom got off of work.
When I was growing up in New York, we were the anomaly. Our family stayed, but back then families didn’t stay. Once you had a second kid, you immediately left, so the kids could run around outside.
In ’71 or ’72 I returned to New Orleans and stayed there. I started cooking Louisiana food. Of all the things I had cooked, it was the best-and it was my heritage.
I come from Maceio, where it is very hot all year around. I moved to Florinoples in the south, which is very cold. I passed the tests that were asked of me there, and that got me the move to Germany. I could have stayed in Brazil, but I wanted the challenge.
For me as a young kid, my parents took me to random cities. I stayed at my relatives and the biggest trouble I had was watching TV on my own.
My fear is that, had I stayed in Jersey, I would have become Snooki because I’m just a bottle of hair dye away.
I remember when I was 11 playing against guys who were as old as 22. I just stayed outside and shot from there.
One of the reasons that I’m still in the military – or I stayed in the military – is because I think the military has been a place where certainly people could improve, advance, and were treated fairly.
Over 10 years, MindTree has been ahead of most IT companies on operating and financial metrics. We have stayed true to our long-term vision and have not been buffeted by short-term.
When I started out I thought just hearing one of my records on the radio would be magical. Fortunately, that naivety has always stayed with me. Because when you’ve had massive success and it tapers off people lose interest in you. So you have to work even harder to generate interest.
When I look back, maybe I would change some things. Maybe the move to Germany was too early and I should have stayed at Chelsea a bit longer.
We had built up a team in Edmonton that really knew who each other was from a personal standpoint and from a professional standpoint. Our nucleus had stayed together for a long time.
I felt like, ‘How do I fit in’? I’m battling. But then I never fit in!’… I thank God for somebody like Pharrell who stayed in my ear. For him, at that time, ‘Happy’ was everywhere; he didn’t have to share anything with me.
In 1985, I went to work for MTM Records, Mary Tyler Moore’s Nashville record label, and stayed three years. After that, I spent two years as an independent promoter, then worked for MCA Nashville Records, DreamWorks Nashville, and Universal Music Nashville.
I’ve never stayed in a tent or a caravan in my life, and I never joined the Boy Scouts. I don’t see the point of going on holiday to enjoy less comfort than I have at home.
I really was the nerd in the car that read vocabulary books. If we were going on day trips, I would quite like to have just stayed in the car with my German and French vocab books. It’s embarrassing to admit to it now.
If I’d stayed at college I would have become a teacher.
I had a reporter ask me what it was like to have my best years over so soon. It stayed with me.
My style has stayed pretty consistent over the years. I always wear what I like and what is appropriate for the occasion.
The Stones were more dangerous than other bands of the Sixties. It looked like they had more fun than the Beatles – like they stayed up later.
I’m from a very close-knit family, and there was something very… I guess you could say normal, about it, and I so appreciate that. We all ate dinner together every single night, and my mom stayed at home with us. I owe a lot to my parents.
I was born in Delhi, have stayed and roamed the world, but had a tough childhood and career path. Only my mom and mausie supported me in music. So, I would just sing shabad kirtan to remain somehow attached to music.
A lot of these kids have gone to Montana State University and become engineers, but they go to work for Boeing in Seattle. They would have stayed if there had been a job here.
I vividly remember throwing a bowl of porridge at my husband Rayne once when he defended the children instead of me – the patch on the ceiling stayed for years.
Because of the need to remove all modernism, we stayed in the middle of nowhere all day long, living out of tents. It was cold. It definitely set the scene.
I was raised to think women had babies, stayed at home, and men worked. By the time I got ready to do it, I thought I had all the answers. Only somebody had changed the questions.
I do come from theater. I didn’t spend a lot of time there ’cause once I started in television, I just kind of stayed there.
A lot of stuff people said to me when I was younger subconsciously stayed with me and became my biggest insecurities.
When I was 15, I was about seven stone – the average weight for a kid of 11 in them days was about nine stone. I managed to keep my head down because there was about half a dozen heavies in the class and there was bullying in them days. But I stayed one step ahead of them all the time.
I always signed autographs when I could and always stayed and chatted with them when I could.
When I was 19 years old, I quit football completely. For about a month, I stayed at home in a depression. This was in the summer of 2008.
After earning my Ph.D., I stayed at the Max-Planck Institute as a postdoc, working on laser excitation of Rydberg states of triatomic hydrogen and helium hydride. I also succeeded in analyzing all the emission spectra of helium hydride, which I had discovered during my Ph.D.
One of my clearest impressions about India as a child was that my parents’ stories would have been impossible had they stayed. Of course, such a vision was self-serving, for it made a virtue of our displacement.
My dad was a janitor for U.S. Radium Corporation, and he stayed there for 37 years. So he didn’t read.
I had been on a vacation to Sharjah a couple of years ago and it was absolutely amazing. We stayed at this beautiful resort that itself was a place to behold as it was replete with water sports and other amenities.
I stayed away from mirrors when I was younger and I didn’t like having my picture taken. I was tall and had braces and felt ugly.
That was the division in the hacking world: There were people who were exploring it and the people who were trying to make money from it. And, generally, you stayed away from anyone who was trying to make money from it.
When I went to San Francisco in that cold late spring of 1967, I did not even know what I wanted to find out, and so I just stayed around a while and made a few friends.
You do need parental guidance and I was in a great position with both my mum and dad. They split when I was a baby but even though I stayed with my mom they were both very much involved in my upbringing.
I ended up getting sent off at The Dell against Liverpool for two bookable offences. I think that was the lowest point of my career. I ran straight into the dressing-room and stayed there, alone, until the final whistle.
I stayed at ‘Cosmo’ well beyond my internship, moving up the ranks over some 15 years to become books editor, then brand director, then editor-at-large – editing everything from an excerpt of Gore Vidal’s memoir to writing some of those juicy cover lines myself.
I’ve stayed in hotels where you were scared to even put your feet on the floor, or had to sleep in a chair.
Come to think of it, some of the most special films in my career were ‘City Of Life’ and ‘Happy New Year.’ For both these films, I stayed over a month in Dubai and just when I was thinking that I need one more film like that, that’s when ‘Kung Fu Yoga’ happened.
When I left Liverpool, I could have stayed in England but that would have meant joining clubs that didn’t play football – just a long-ball game.
Families used to come from somewhere, and that’s where they stayed.
I always liked having a good time. I got into this business because I got fired from any job I ever had because I stayed out late playing music.
You never came home for lunch: you just stayed doing, playing, having fun, surfing, running round.
Utah State stayed with me, so I stayed loyal to the people loyal to me.
I began tailoring my books to cater to one or another universe of readers. I found it incredibly boring; and frankly, it felt stultifying. I’d previously been in advertising. I felt if I was going to create something to fit a specific market, I might as well have stayed with advertising.
