All the nice girls in my life I have treated badly.
He who hugs too much, hugs badly!
Years have passed since I have set foot in a comedy club. If the comic is doing badly it’s painful, and if the comic is doing brilliantly, it’s extremely painful.
Mr. Obama’s approach to engagement to some degree makes him dependent on people who wish neither him nor America well. This doesn’t have to end badly and I hope that it doesn’t – but it’s not an ideal position after one’s first year in power.
Either ‘Deuce Coupe’ has aged badly, or I have. I suspect it’s the latter.
As long as I do not take myself too seriously, I should not be too badly off.
Sometimes you can press a little bit and you’re trying to do too much and you’re trying too hard. You want to win so bad and you want to help the team so badly that you end up trying too much instead of letting the play come to you.
In fact I was slightly badly behaved at school and got in trouble. I would get a bee in my bonnet about something I thought wasn’t right, and I would ape about too, to make everybody laugh. That was my way through my girls’ school, because I wasn’t very academic.
I wake up usually quite late, just in time for the lunch, especially if I sleep badly during the night.

Bipartisanship and decency are thrown to the waste side because people want their party to win so badly.
If banks anticipate government will come to the rescue should the credit market go badly awry, they may make loans that would otherwise be imprudent, e.g. subprime loans with little prospect of repayment.
I remember watching the Tony Awards as a young girl, thinking I would never get that far but, in my heart, wanting so badly to perform on Broadway and defy the expectations of my small town.
I wanted very badly to be a mum. I’m a very maternal person. But at the point that I met Emilio I was focusing on a career. I never would have thought that I would get married at 21 and much less be a mum by 23.

What the ISL has done is create the hype and buzz around football that it very badly needs.
I think sometimes bad behaviour can be liberating for certain people. They need to behave badly to find themselves – to go off path to find their path. You see it with kids all the time: They’re testing boundaries, and I think that’s healthy.
When I die, I want people to be like, ‘Respect the music.’ I don’t really care if you hate me or like me – what I want badly is the validation and respect of the people.

I was 22 and stopped writing plays, and I didn’t start again until I was 25. I was writing badly. In college, I attempted to write these more conventional plays, but the theater I loved was downtown experimental theater. I didn’t feel like I could do that either. It didn’t occur to me to do my own thing.
I had these false ambitions – marketing and MBA. I didn’t do very badly at it, but I realised my calling was something else.
This bill, this badly named ENLIST Act, would put out the advertisement that says, ‘Sneak into America. Sneak into the military, and that’s going to be the most expeditious path to American citizenship and the whole smorgasbord of benefits that come from American citizenship.’
If all else fails, the character of a man can be recognized by nothing so surely as by a jest which he takes badly.
I’m fantastic at cooking up stories. In the kitchen, I can, at best, make tea and a badly shaped dosa.
When I first got my driver’s license, I was hit by a drunk driver. He was coming off of a freeway, and I was hurt pretty badly from somebody driving really fast.

I was playing college football, and I hurt my knee very badly my senior year, and I didn’t want to get a real job.
Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls aren’t there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show us how badly we want things.
When you lose badly, when you get knocked out and the ref has to stop it, that’s when you know it’s been a bad fight. But when you lose a fight having over the 12 rounds and you don’t look like you’ve done any rounds, that’s when you know it’s quite good.
If you want something badly enough, you’ll figure it out.
Heartbreak was the impetus to me writing poems and music in the first place. Over the years, I had my heart broken so badly that if I didn’t find a way to get all the pain out, I was going to lose my mind. I was crazy! Like, wanting to slash tires and smash car windows. Crazy! I was so hurt that I had to write.
Yes, I do agree we need health care reform; however, this bill badly misses the mark. Congress can and must do better for the American people.
One has to understand the functioning of the normal brain before studying the badly malfunctioning brain.
Never in the history of fashion has so little material been raised so high to reveal so much that needs to be covered so badly.

The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced.
I used to think… that people would think badly of me for various stuff they read. But now I accept it’s just part of the deluge of stuff that comes every day.
My most vivid memory – it’s actually one of my first memories – I was three, and I was the youngest angel in the show production. And I remember being absolutely desperate for the toilet. I needed to wee really badly. So I was crossing my legs when I was walking down.
Like any organizer worth their salt, I’m open to critique, but I won’t be bullied or treated badly. I’m an imperfect human, and as such, I have a proclivity to make mistakes. And while I make mistakes, I am not my mistakes.
The pressure from within used to have an impact on my behaviour. If games had gone badly, I would take things home with me. I’d be snappy at my kids and felt constantly wound up.
Every player had a roommate for out-of-town games, so I had to slip into the bathroom early each morning and secretly take my insulin injection. I feared that if the Cubs found out and I slumped badly, they would attribute it to the diabetes and send me back to the minors – or worse, release me.
You get your heart stomped by the opposite sex, and you’re hurting so badly that you write ‘Sometimes When We Touch.’ But then what happens when you’ve been married for 25 years? You can’t rely on those emotional male-female roller coasters. You have to start using your imagination and the powers of empathy more.
Death is easier than a wretched life; and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.
So many people view the war on drugs as a failure, as something that was perhaps intended and carried out with good intentions but very badly executed.
Film and stage are very different; I don’t necessarily prefer one over the other. Every few years, I get a big itch to go back to the theater. To learn humility, to learn bravery and to remind yourself that the pistons that drive your craft are working on full power. And to remind yourself how badly paid actors can be.
Every great device, gadget, electric car, and robot would be even greater if batteries didn’t suck so badly.
You just want so badly to be the best version of what people are saying, you want to look like the covers you’re on, but it’s hard to do that everyday.
I don’t feel badly about that. There’s a lot of energy on the golf course. The guys are playing great. I like the pairings in the afternoon. I’m going to take what we’ve got.
