American economists can’t understand the German fear of inflation and the effects of inflation when dealing with the world economic crisis. They wonder why Germany pursues such a different course – ‘Why can’t they agree with us?’ I would have thought it was fairly obvious.
Because I’m fairly big, I like to use my body. So I’ll control the ball, even when there’s a player on me, and then I’ll pass.
I live in the country, and I live a fairly natural, holistic life. Sometimes I get put up in hotels where they use chemical sprays to clean things, or there are chemicals used that I stay away from.
I’d like to be remembered for being a fairly pleasant person and for having gotten along for the most part with a lot of the people I’ve worked with. And for having a wonderful life and for having enjoyed practically every minute of it… I think I’m one of the luckiest people in the world.
I don’t think I could ever make 155. I made 163 for the Olympics, and that is a super low weight for me. I’m a fairly big person, and for me to make 163 was incredibly difficult.
One book at a time… though I’m usually doing the research for others while I’m writing, but that sort of research is fairly desultory and I like to stick to the book being written – and writing a book concentrates the mind so the research is more productive.
There’s different aspects of the game you have got to pick up along the way. I think I am picking it up fairly quickly and I’m learning all the time and I can only get better.
I was fairly rubbish as a player.
The thing about acting is that it’s fairly random. At the end of the day you take what drifts past you or what’s given to you.
I think it’s a fairly well-known thing about me that I’m a big nerd.
I’ve got a fairly low profile – I go and do me shopping when I need to!
There’s a song called ‘Slip To The Void,’ which is fairly long and has more of an epic approach. And I guess for lack of a better term some people might throw the progressive tag on it. I don’t know if it necessarily falls into that – a few people have brought that up who have heard it.
Every once in a while an issue comes up where I have to make a statement. I can’t totally avoid all political issues, but I try my best to minimize them. When I do make a statement, I try to be fairly neutral.
We need to work together to fairly assess and improve the long-term economic and health value – and affordability – of all components of the healthcare system, including hospitalizations, drugs, devices, and other interventions, to optimize our health investment decisions.
When I was younger, I listened to the greats: Winters, Mel and Carl, Nichols and May, Pryor, Carlin, Klein, Berman and lots of Lenny Bruce albums. But once I started doing fairly well, I didn’t want to hear anybody’s jokes or premises.
The thing about being a university teacher is that you’re fairly tolerant about young people saying things they shouldn’t have said.
Eating-wise, I’m fairly disciplined. I have to be, because if you’re not eating correctly, you’re not giving your body the fuel it needs. So, I stay away from carbs after the morning, and I eat a lot of protein – fish, chicken, and no red meat.
We are patriotic enough to believe there is no good reason why foreign investors from Europe cannot be expected to resolve any disputes fairly through British justice, operating through British courts. And we are European enough to think that our companies can do the same by relying on European courts.
I think you can fairly say I spawned or laid an egg that has turned into a lifestyle industry.
This means keeping many trails open at once, inevitably requiring a fairly ‘parallel’ plot. This plot should be discovered rather than announced, so show, don’t tell.
In any election, it’s important that the public perceive that the election is held fairly.
I grew up in a small town about 40 miles outside London, but it was a fairly cosmopolitan household.
I was able to tour successfully and attract a fairly wide audience, but it was hard to assert myself as a stand-up because people were more familiar with me as a TV character.
‘Staunch conservatives’ and ‘free marketeers’ are fairly typical Republicans, while the ‘American preservationists’ are far less reliably a part of a GOP coalition.
I think that Putin’s strategy has been throwing a lot of money, fairly haphazardly, at a lot of projects aimed at disrupting Western relations and undermining trust in democracies. They may have gotten farther in the States than anywhere else.
Treating people fairly and with civility is not a bad thing… It would be good for our country if political leaders actually took that to heart.
If you don’t have respect for immigrants, or you don’t have respect for minorities, or you don’t have respect for women, it’s gonna be very difficult for you to understand why the other side needs to be treated fairly.
I found there’s a fairly blatant racism in America that’s already there, and I don’t think I noticed it when I lived here as a kid. But when I went back to South Africa, and then it’s sort of thrust in your face, and then came back here – I just see it everywhere.
Fairly early in my career, I had a passion for wine just as a consumer, and I started to learn about the whole process, starting with a piece of raw ground, and ending up with a work of art in a bottle.
I think love can come fairly easily and grow – but really liking the core essence of someone is a much harder thing to bottle. If you have both, you’re in pretty good shape.
A fairly bright boy is far more intelligent and far better company than the average adult.
I’m interested in fashion; I buy fairly good pieces, and I think as I’ve gotten older, I’ve pared down a lot.
The rare person is still interested in new advances when they are adults. There is possibly a correlation with intelligence. In any case, you have to be fairly bright to keep learning and changing attitudes as you get older.
I’ve heard it said that umpires are necessary evil. Well, we are necessary, but we are not evil. We are hard-working and dedicated people whose primary interest is to make sure the game is played fairly. We are the integrity of the game.
Anthropology in general has always been fairly hospitable to female scholars, and even to feminist scholars.
But I’m a fairly mechanical worker – I tend not to think about themes so much as plot. I want to get the feeling right. If it’s moving through tunnels, I ask myself, what is it like to move through tunnels?
It is a fairly open secret that almost all systems can be hacked, somehow. It is a less spoken of secret that such hacking has actually gone quite mainstream.
The truth is that from birth on we are, to one extent or another, a fairly sensual species.
We’ve sent 130 men to death row to be executed in this country, at least 130 that we know of, who have later have been exonerated because they were either innocent, or they were not fairly tried. That’s 130 people that we’ve locked down on death row. And they’ve spent years there.
I was a tomboy, always fairly eccentric, and convinced I’d grow up to be an actress.
I want to be paid fairly for the work that I’m doing. That’s what every single woman around the world wants. We want to be paid on parity with a man in a similar position.
In my mind, there’s usually a fairly definitive kind of narrative when I write. But I don’t want to enforce that on other people. I think that’s why I like using metaphor so much.
Press TV is one of the few TV channels anywhere in the West that fairly presents the Palestinian case.
Hulk Hogan and I put 43,000 people in the Georgia Dome with three days’ notice. I’ve got a fairly big following in Atlanta.
When I came through the ranks in wrestling – in high school and college – those systems have been in place for 100 years, and they’re fairly standard training across the board for all the colleges.
Do things fairly, especially with your children. Girls deserve equal opportunities, especially in getting educated as well as equal sharing in business.
When I write about Mickey Haller as the Lincoln lawyer, I totally see Matthew McConaughey because he took that character when that character was still fairly new to me – only two or three years old – when I knew McConaughey was going to play him. He’s also the same age, the right age, in comparison to the book.
I’m fairly certain that the seeds of Mel Gibson’s extraordinary work ‘The Passion of the Christ’ were sown long before Islamic fundamentalists delivered their abominable message to America and the entire Judeo-Christian civilization.
Infidelity is a fairly common occurrence in society but very often not spoken about.
Fairly or not, Western consumers associate Chinese products primarily with ‘low price.’
In our system, criminal justice isn’t the quest for revenge. It’s the quest for truth, evidence and facts, and the use of that truth as we fairly apply our laws.
English writing tends to fall into two categories – the big, baggy epic novel or the fairly controlled, tidy novel. For a long time, I was a fan of the big, baggy novel, but there’s definitely an advantage to having a little bit more control.
I understand that the rupee is fairly market determined.
There have been a handful of assignments over the years that I’ve had to turn down due to time constraints, and I was fairly envious when I saw the finished product, beautifully illustrated by someone else.
