Growing up playing on the streets, you made your name by talking mess and getting into people’s heads.
Having a conversation on a landline is more intimate than talking to someone in person. Your voices are so clear and close – you’re in each other’s heads.
Batman gets close to the insanity of Gotham, to the craziness, to what drives that city mad, and not be driven mad himself – or, at least, most of the time he isn’t. That’s most like the mission of the C.I.A. We get into the heads of our enemies without becoming our enemy.
Some people are ok with doing nothing all day after they retire, but then some people if they had nothing to do would go mad and start banging their heads against a wall.
I’m hideously shy as myself, but on stage I can run around naked and bite the heads off fish.
I think it’s fun to fantasize about the idea of NXT and ROH butting heads and seeing which one will do better, especially with WWE looking at ROH guys to hire.
After we were married, we were broke. Flat broke. Not only did we not have health insurance, we could barely keep a roof over our heads, let alone have the kind of coin to throw around on onesies and Pampers.
We would spend every morning drinking rum and Cokes or Red Stripes for breakfast, to get our heads in the right space. It’s a wonder we got stuff done.
I’ve got a few great old Marshalls that I use live: ’71 and ’72 heads and an old combo with 2x12s.
I wish to strengthen the hand of the Prime Minister and the heads of the security agencies in the unrelenting battle for our right to maintain normal daily life in every place in Israel.
There were times my mom and I butted heads – over my curfew, over something like that. Whenever we would hit these moments of emotional backfire, she would say, ‘You just don’t understand what it’s like to be a mother… I could never handle losing you.’ I was like, ‘OK, but just, like, chill out.’
I’m not a big fan of kids’ movies that have this knowing snarkiness to them or this post-modern take on storytelling. I think that sails right over the heads of most kids. There’s something to be said for a well-told fairy tale. There’s a reason that these mythic stories stay with us.
Many of us think in terms in parental determinism: ‘If I push all the right buttons my kids are going to turn out OK.’ I want to instill in myself and my people a wonderful dose, not of carelessness, but of God’s sovereignty. He knows the hairs on your kids’ heads.
Stardom should be a discovery. You don’t hammer it onto people’s heads. You don’t demand it. You command it.
I believe you can frighten people without showing their heads caved-in.
I like working with south Indian directors because they are very disciplined. They visualize their entire story and screenplay in their heads even before they start shooting, which I respect. They finish their work on time. Being a disciplinarian myself, this suits my style.
I know when I was little, having my Thai mom, even I was weird about fish sauce and fish heads and clams. I kind of sided with my dad because he was a big American guy. So, we were very meat and potatoes, but I really wish I had grown up appreciating my mom’s taste a bit more.
So, I created these creatures called The Frightened Ones which in the film you see do have mask like kind of heads and they run beneath the ground to hide. Which is what in fact we did during the war.
I want to score but when you think of the soldiers in Iraq with bullets flying around their heads you realise a penalty isn’t something to get too worried about.
We still have to keep betting on markets like America that are full of opportunities to grow, even if we have to work our heads off to do it.
The Bible is a radically pro-slavery document. Slave owners waved Bibles over their heads in the Civil War and justified it.
The time has come to stop beating our heads against stone walls under the illusion that we have been appointed policeman to the human race.
I do hear about these actors who go on vacations to Bali for three months, and their agents are banging their heads against a wall trying to find their clients – but that’s not me. I’m working hard every day. Enjoy your vacation.
I don’t really do that whole ‘single life’ thing. I’m kind of heads down and get things done.
One of the amazing things about ‘Seven Samurai’ is that there are a lot of characters. And considering you have so many, and they all have shaved heads, and you’ve got good guys and bad guys and peasants, you get to understand a lot of them without too much being said.
My approach to cutting spending as president, is to do a ten percent across the board cut of all federal agencies, and then ask each of my new agency heads to find another ten percent by drilling down. That’s what you do in business to come up with approximately 20 percent cuts for the first fiscal year budget.
We have seen that two heads are better than one when dealing with a mental health problem.
We still live with this unbelievable threat over our heads of nuclear war. I mean, are we stupid? Do we think that the nuclear threat has gone, that the nuclear destruction of the planet is not imminent? It’s a delusion to think it’s gone away.
We have got to stop being a society that turns our heads and looks the other way.
Entrepreneurs spend an inordinate amount of time inside of our own heads – thinking, analyzing, agonizing and obsessing over every little detail of our business. Sometimes, we need a break from ourselves. Meditation is a chance to let the thinking mind rest.
Red Sonja, she was a hellraiser before Buffy, Xena, and Ripley even existed. When so many heroines in comics were all hung up on romance and the bizarre gender politics of comics at the time, Sonja was out cutting off the heads of dragons and pirates.
When I walk or people see me somewhere they stop and recognize me; heads turn when I pass. God has blessed me.
Because I am interested in the growth and development of early hominids, I play with my kids, you know, looking at their teeth or measuring their heads, which they like also, because it’s kind of fun.
I’m not gonna throw a Ryan Leaf bullet, but I’ve got a good enough arm, where I think it’ll turn some heads and keep them interested.
It’s so much fun playing Ling, but I have this fear that people are going to run away from me in terror on the streets. They think I’m going to bite their heads off or something.
Talking Heads were a big influence on my comedy. For David Byrne, every album had to be different. With ‘Portlandia,’ every season has to be different. You gotta reinvent the look, all of it.
Marginalized Americans should not be defined by the verbal and physical violence that looms over our heads. We have a right to exist, to live as we choose and to be free to pursue our happiness without the fear of others demonizing us or harming us just because of who we are.
I didn’t know my dad for a long time. My dad was on drugs and my dad was at the VA Hospital, my dad was off in his own world selling drugs or using them or there would be crack heads in the house or whatever it would be.
In terms of being a ‘sneakerhead,’ there was one point where I was obsessively following every sneaker blog. That’s the beauty of Twitter: To get the heads up on what’s coming out.
We need to get used to seeing humans with antennas sticking out of their heads.
My feet ain’t got nothing to do with my nickname, but when folks get it in their heads that a feller’s got big feet, soon the feet start looking big.
I definitely agree about the future of youth football being flag. There’s just more and more evidence that the youth brain is particularly susceptible to the injury – thin necks, big heads. They’re not as coordinated; they’re not as skillful. For many reasons, I think the wave of the future is flag football for youth.
The American television punditocracy – the pollsters, political consultants and other talking heads who become as ubiquitous as air every election cycle – can be incestuous and herdlike.
This entire issue of transgender people posing a kind of threat to cisgender women in bathrooms is made up. We are just like everybody else – we go into the bathroom, we keep our heads down, we don’t look at anybody.
My favorite band is probably The Cure. We can throw Talking Heads in there too, I listen to them a lot. But The Cure.
We used to do a lot of kick-catch work with Carlton, and it really taught us some great skills catching above our heads, off our chest. Those things I’ve carried throughout my career and I’m really thankful I got the opportunity to learn that.
Mark all mathematical heads which be wholly and only bent on these sciences, how solitary they be themselves, how unfit to live with others, how unapt to serve the world.
Heads of France lead from a palace, and traditionally they retire to a cloud.
There are those who say that we can happily ignore the lies and menaces spread on social media, that what appears on screen really doesn’t matter, that anything goes on the web, and so on. But such people have their heads in the sand.
Writers transform: they throw a hand grenade into the notion of reality that people carry around in their heads. That’s very dangerous, very destructive, but not to do it means you are satisfied with the status quo – and that’s a kind of danger as well, because a kind of violence is already being perpetuated.
