I find it a very, very powerful thing to be yourself and not to try and be something else and to use that as your biggest shield and your biggest attack in the world – to just be you.
Music is a diary. Sometimes people make music as if no one’s going to hear it, as if they can just be completely honest. Things are a lot more acceptable said in a song than it would be in person. Art excuses a lot of things.
I really love working. It makes me feel like an even better person when I work. I function much better if I have a really rigid schedule. When I’m left to my own devices, I can just be all over the place.
We’re not co-sleeping. I’m all for what people want to do in their home, but I need my bed. I’m a terrible sleeper… I toss and turn and flip, and it would just be a disaster if there were a baby there. And I think it’s important for a kid to have their own space.
I want to be rich enough that, without being cruel, I could buy a horse, a white horse, and permanently attach a horn. A pearlescent horn. And then I could just be like, ‘Yeah, I have a unicorn.’ But I don’t know how you do that without being cruel.
I need some kind of emotional stake in it to write my lyrics, assuming that place. It might just be an emotion I understand but am not currently experiencing necessarily.
To be a nemesis, you have to actively try to destroy something, don’t you? Really, I’m not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.
Prince is the ultimate performer. Prince is that dude that’s going to get on stage by himself, if he need to, but hold you in the palm of his hand. Like, you can’t take your eyes off the man when he’s on stage, and he could just be sitting there playing his guitar.
My original name was Juaquin, and my cousin couldn’t pronounce my name right. So he’d just be saying ‘Waka! Waka!’ So when I was younger, I used to always laugh, then my man Gucci gave me the rest of the name.
I’m lucky to just be a working actor. There are so many great actors out there and I’m just lucky to have gotten work.
I knew that if I just came out as a singer, people would just be criticizing my voice.
A female professional athlete has to have the whole package, as opposed to a guy who can just be good at sport. You have to have a job or go to uni or do three sports instead of one, you have to be a standout.
I don’t know why there is a discrimination between women and men entrepreneurs. Those who are doing their job should just be seen as professionals and not women or men.
I’ve never been driven to just be a celebrity or just get me on TV. Never ever. What’s always driven me is being successful and being good at what I do.
Being a WWE performer and doing all the different things we get to do, it can wear on you, and you can learn a lot of stuff about yourself. For me, it always reminds me to just stay humble. Just be yourself, love what you do, and enjoy the ride.
I’m really lucky in that I can do lots of different things. It must be really hard to just be a poet or just be a novelist – a constant cycle of effort and exhaustion and recuperation.
Just be your authentic self because there’s nothing sexier or more beautiful than that.
The great thing about small children is they’re portable, so we take them everywhere, but when it comes to 2015, Zachary’s going to school, and I want to be there to drop him off and pick him up. I don’t want to just be the father who reads them a bedtime story.
I’m from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I moved to L.A. when I was about eleven years old. I always go back to Milwaukee whenever I can. Just chill with my grandpa and my grandmother and just be with family, be with people that were there before I got a million views on YouTube because of my music video.
Everyone who uses their phone on a day to day basis just be careful with how much you’re consuming because it can get unhealthy quickly.
I don’t try to just be a blues singer – I try to be an entertainer. That has kept me going.
We thought L.A. would just be sunshine and happiness all around.
When I create something, it’s got to be special, and it can’t just be to throw something out there because I feel like I’m Missy.
Creating fake facts does require a measure of haphazard research, insofar as they need to not just be possible, but also interesting.
For a long time, I consciously tried to be a good person for others. Not anymore. Caring about other people keeps me in line, but I’ve decided to just be myself.
I’d rather just be the girl who likes to eat a lot of food.
Texas, to be respected, must be polite. Santa Anna, living, can be of incalculable benefit to Texas; Santa Anna, dead, would just be another dead Mexican.
You can’t just be anyone who is off the streets and come do what we do. You have to train, and there has to be something within you. You have to have athletic ability… What we do is 100 percent athletic. I feel like it’s one of the top athletic programs out there when you consider professional sports.
Some people who come from high levels in other backgrounds where they’re used to being the best or used to being on a kind of pedestal, it’s hard to kind of lower yourself again and just be one of the grunts. I kind of enjoyed that challenge in MMA.
I’ll do very light, very easy yoga in my dressing room. I like to just lay down on the floor and put my legs on the wall and stretch and just be still.
I expect to always do well. It’s the kind of competitiveness in me. I’m not here to try to just be mediocre.
I love pizza. I want to marry it, but it would just be to eat her family at the wedding.
Just be yourself. As an actor, you pretend all day – that’s what the job calls for. So, when it comes to my personal life, a woman who keeps it real is a breath of fresh air.
What I do is just go over and over and over my lines and learn the script so well that I can just be easy and relaxed. That’s the way I always work.
I just be comfortable in my own skin; I might wear anything.
I just want to get paid to lay down, wake up when I want to wake up, go to sleep when I want to go to sleep, and my money just be there. I just want to make the most doing the least.
Sometimes I’ll read something on Twitter, and I’ll just be in the darkest of moods for the rest of the day or the rest of the week sometimes.
Hopefully after a year or two of touring around eventually we’ll just be The Blanks. We do pretty much everything we do on ‘Scrubs’ in our show, but it’s not presented as Ted’s Band.
But if you want to be in a band and write music, then you should just be in a band and write music.
Revolt is designed to be a home for the next generation of musical artists, and we are investing in the artists and fans of the future. Revolt is for artists, by artists. This won’t just be the P. Diddy network.
Not using fly ash in our highways would just be a plain waste of taxpayers’ money, which I find unacceptable. Most people don’t realize that without fly ash, many of Montana’s infrastructure projects simply would not have been possible – like the Hungry Horse Dam near Glacier National Park.
I’m 38 years old and Limp Bizkit is just something I do. If I was a painter, it would just be a type of painting I make.
You have to modernise; you have to change – you can’t just be traditional for the fun of being traditional.
Performing arts buildings are complex. The acoustics, the sight lines and all that have to just be perfect. So you begin with just making these things sublime as musical instruments. And if you fail there, you have failed it all.
I’ve always liked musical theater, and getting to do stuff like that where I can just dance around and just be crazy is just super fun.
It ticks me off to hear people say, ‘Hey man, at your age you don’t look like you’re slowing down a bit.’ Like, can I just be a football player? Why does the 33 age have to coincide with me when you talking football?
It’s funny, we started writing chick-lit when it was just becoming a crowded marketplace, and now the same thing is happening with YA. It really used to just be one shelf at the library – Nancy Drew and Judy Blume.
I would rather just be successful and have money than be famous.
I wasn’t shuffling from one sport to the next that much. I had downtime to just be a high school student.
If I become defensive and upset right away, then that’s going to adversely affect how I deal with it and it’s probably not going to be good press for me and probably be bad just because I’m angry. Just be open and pleasant.
It’s such an overused phrase: ‘to be part of the conversation.’ But it’s true. It is nice to be part of the conversation – just be sure they are talking about you in the right way.
For me, it shouldn’t just be a live show: it should be an experience. It should be some kind of crazy, tribal, exhausting experience.
Be grateful. That’s one of the most important lessons in life, I think, is to just be grateful for every minute, every moment.
I guess I’m happy that I’m getting the attention. Otherwise, I’d just be playing in a local bar in front of my family members, and I’m sure they’d get sick of that in no time.
Never thought acting was something you could make a living at. It wasn’t until I was in college, and got a lead in a play, that I began to realize I might just be able to blunder into this profession.
