How do I love Tim McGraw? Let me count the ways: I love that he’s a country boy with a city sensibility. I love that he refuses to be pegged, and his duet with Nelly proves it. And I really love that he had the brains to marry Faith Hill.
Life is precious and time is a key element. Let’s make every moment count and help those who have a greater need than our own.
I feel a real responsibility to my community and so right now there has been this bizarre myth in our community how our vote doesn’t count. I’m trying to get out there and re-educate on how the government works and break that myth and talk about the importance of being involved.
I can’t even count the number of times I’ve obliterated my diet with a binge session. One second, I’m floating along just fine, four days into a successful low-carb lifestyle. The next? I’m standing alone in a dark kitchen, eating a sleeve of Ritz crackers and cream cheese with a spoon.
I have a very personal interest. I am a Miami-Dade voter. One of the issues is that my vote and so many other votes of women and African Americans in Florida are being discounted or discarded. I want my vote to count.
Modeling was so fleeting it doesn’t count in my life scheme.
If we do not change our negative habits toward climate change, we can count on worldwide disruptions in food production, resulting in mass migration, refugee crises and increased conflict over scarce natural resources like water and farm land. This is a recipe for major security problems.

The overall thinking of the shortstop covers the overall context of the ballgame. You have to know the count they’ll hit-and-run on. You’re thinking of the speed, not only of the runner at first base, but the runner at the plate. You have to know how fast the pitcher is on a particular day.
The truth is, I don’t have any problem with journalists – I count some of them as friends – also some of my heroes are journalists, I’m a big fan of Robert Fisk – great people or crazy people who are prepared to stand up for what’s right.
It’s Charles Barkley. He’s a personality. I don’t count him as a journalist.
At the end of the Cold War, the prevailing view in Washington was that the U.S. was strong, and Russia was weak and did not count in a unipolar world. We disregarded Russia’s opposition to NATO expansion, the Iraq War, and the U.S.-led military intervention in Serbia for the independence of Kosovo.
We watch so much film, calling up pitch by pitch, count by count in order to spot tendencies. Technology is a big part of how I get ready for a game. What’s funny is a lot of the NFL guys say they study the ‘Madden’ game; that’s how they learn to read offenses and defenses.
Genius can probably run on ahead and seek out new ways. But the good artists who follow after genius – and I count myself among these – have to restore the lost connection once more.
You know, we were outdoorsy types, my folks, and one of the first tapes I got, a friend gave me a cassette tape of Ella Fitzgerald singing with the Count Basie orchestra. And it was the first time, really, that someone’s voice had really spoken to me, and it was just so pure.

My teammates and the coaching team know that they can count on me.
There seems to be a great propensity in this business to write tear-jerkers, ‘You-left-me’ songs. I thought, ‘Why don’t I count my blessings by looking at what I have?’ I’m pretty much an optimistic guy.
For me, politics is about passion. It doesn’t matter what you know; it’s your actions that count. I meet people who say they’re socialists, and that’s not what they carry out in their everyday life.
American stuntmen are smart – they think about safety. When they do a jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the distance… But in Hong Kong, we don’t know how to count. Everything we do is a guess. If you’ve got the guts, you do it. All of my stuntmen have gotten hurt.
When there’s a decision and it was a close fight, you build up the drama. I announce the first two scores, and then I have a count in my head, right up to the point where everyone is on the edge of their seats thinking ‘Come on!’ and then I hit them with it.
I’ve never had a movie that got great reviews. I’ve had movies that got different levels of good and bad reviews, but you can more or less count on plenty of bad reviews.
What I will say is that there is no governing body in strongman. There’s no federation. There’s no group of people or person that overlooks the sport, or says that this is a world record, or ‘we’ll count this as a world record.’
Anyone that says looks don’t count is lying. Of course they do. Even babies go to the attractive face. It’s the way humans work.
When one gets old and they are sick, there are not many things they can count on but they should be able to count on Social Security. Our seniors’ retirement should never rely on the bull of political promises or the bear of the market.

In feature films, unless there was a body count, they weren’t hiring me to direct it.
The world you live in is not a given; much of what is best in it has been built through the struggles of passionate activists over the last centuries. They won us many freedoms and protected many beauties. Count those gifts among your growing heap.

I symbolized doping… My phone rarely rings. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of riders who call me.
Nobody’s life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.
I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve done SoulCycle. I was not soul’d.

My father in the film – which we probably haven’t seen in previous movies, and in British Asian movies you could probably count on one hand – he says exactly why, actually why he’s frightened for his daughter. He came to this country, England, and had a bit of a crappy time.
Even before I was in New York, I couldn’t even count how many places I lived in L.A. Definitely over 10.
I can conduct better than I count.
