I wouldn’t write anything autobiographical. If you’ve lived a life like Laurence of Arabia, it might be a consideration, but otherwise it’s a little bit vain, it seems to me.
That’s what I’ve been always saying, that I was always using the mixed doubles especially to improve my net game and being able to return a guy’s serve, ’cause then when you play someone like Serena, you are little bit more prepared for that.
It’s funny, sometimes life just comes down to bringing a little bit of light to somebody when you can.
I get a little bit emotional during a game!
I think my parents felt us being a minority a little bit more than I did, and they tried to shelter me from that so I didn’t feel it at all.
Something stopped me in school a little bit. Anything that I’m not interested in, I can’t even feign interest.
I used to walk down a street and nobody would notice me. Now, I get stopped all the time; people saying, ‘well done’. It makes me really, really proud to have done my bit to help make cycling a little bit more popular.
If you listen to the left track on their album, if you get The Best of the Mamas and Papas, you listen to the left track, you can still hear a little bit of my voice. My son discovered that once.
When things aren’t going right, I can get out on the golf course, and when things are going really good on the court, I can go and enjoy the scenery, enjoy the weather. And when I’m too high, I can have golf humble me and beat me up a little bit.
When I am brushing my teeth, I’m bending my leg behind me, or I’m lifting my leg up and holding it in that position so I’m squeezing my butt in. I can do that while I’m washing or slicing vegetables, too. Or I go up and down on my toes, working my calves a little bit.
If a scene is three pages long, quite often people break it up and do a page, say ‘cut’ then move on to the next bit, they do it in cuts. I don’t really like doing that; I like to go through it all in one organic run, then give notes afterward. A little bit more like theater.
I wouldn’t mind starting to ride some more if I had a really good horse to just work a little bit with every day.
The other stuff of marriage can fade a little bit, but as long as you can laugh with your partner, that’s everything because that’s what remains at the end of the day. I think that’s how we pick our friends and that’s how we ultimately pick who we marry.
I listened to Country music a little bit, but it didn’t enter my life until I started listening to Eric Church.
The more excited the rooster gets, the higher his voice goes. He’s got a little bit of a Barney Fife quality to him.
I’m a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
The chips are in production, the machines aren’t. So we’ve got a little bit of work left to do.
How do I take a step? How do I lift my foot off the ground, move it through the air a little bit and then bring it down? I had to teach myself to walk again.
Some people are willing to betray years of friendship just to get a little bit of the spotlight.
I think I managed to trick people a little bit into thinking I’m more arty by making creative, artistic, visual work and applying it to commercial music. Maybe. I don’t know.
But to personally satisfy my own adrenalin needs, I’ve been racing cars a little bit, which has been fun.
You always fall for the rascal or the guy who’s got a little bit of the devil in him. You can’t help it.
I think he’s much funnier in many ways than some of the things that I’ve done. Because it’s a little bit more layered. He’s constantly trying to teach Luke what he thinks are really deep philosophical ideas, but they’re really simple.
I’m a little bit of a control freak, so it’s been nice to learn to let go and just trust others.
One does not lash hat lies at a distance. The foibles that we ridicule must at least be a little bit our own. Only then will the work be a part of our own flesh. The garden must be weeded.
How many people are moving up toward the Antarctica, or the Arctic? Most people move down to Texas and Florida, where it’s a little bit warmer.
If I was in a bad mood, then maybe I won’t talk about it, but you’re going to know about it somehow. If something was bothering me, maybe I would have acted a little bit like a child, meaning I go break something in a room.
I was a little bit of a cocky kid.
When someone came to ask us for help, it was sacred. We did not even think twice. We helped them, even if we had only meagre means; we offered them arms, a little bit of money, and in occasion, men.
I grew up in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, a small village near Barcelona. My house was near the countryside, so there was a lot of nature, and at the same time my village is surrounded by factories. That conditioned me a little bit.
When I came to Cambridge, I was involved in the ward for a little bit, but I did have a very gradual process of trying to work out what I thought a good life consisted of.
And you have a record company behind it, this is a key too, you need people to fight for your records, at least a little bit. So if you have a great song, it’s catchy, and you’ve got a little bit of help, I think that’s all you need. But there hasn’t been that in music.
I definitely prefer the courts at Wimbledon – they’re a little bit slower. I know I can play well there, I just need to keep the momentum there and take care of everything that I can.
I’ve always written a little bit. I mean, I’ve written screenplays, and I’ve doctored my dialogue for years, and I’ve written speeches – I was a speechwriter on ‘The West Wing,’ so I like that kind of thing. But I never really thought I’d write a book.
People think being famous is fun. It’s not. Even a little bit of fame. It’s bizarre. It’s weird.
I’m not trying to sound pretentious, but we did sell 12 million records on the first album, so we did get paid a little bit.
My father was always slightly bemused by my success. Although he knew that I had reasonable intelligence, he always thought that I was a little bit lazy.
I went to jail at 17. While I was there, I discovered that I could write. Once I started making some songs, other inmates wanted to know a little bit more about what I was doing, and they asked me to rap for them. They really liked it, and I made it a goal to come out and try to make something out of the music.
Stand-up comedians say that anyone in the audience can be funny, but people paid to see us because we’re just a little bit funnier. In the same way, I think anybody can play music – in fact, I think everyone has music in them, but some of us can do it a little better.
It’s like going to the gym everyday. It really is. I work hard on my craft, I sweat a little bit, I run a little bit, I might sprain an ankle every now and them, but it’s all good and the more you do it, the more in shape you are and it’s like a machine.
Rugby gave me a confidence. I was quite shy and relatively timid, but it gave me the confidence to be a little bit more out-going and back myself a bit more.
When I go back to Japan it’s a little bit crazy. I usually have to wear a hat and glasses otherwise I cannot go through the streets.
If you want to give a tangible present, but you know the recipient wants cash, give a little bit of both. This strategy is helpful for occasions that involve a public opening of presents, like a bridal or baby shower. You can give something that can be wrapped and opened, along with a card containing a check.
My dad was a laborer. And he used to get up at 5:30 every morning. He worked for 50 years of his life, in all weathers for, by showbiz standards, petty cash. I remind myself of that when I feel a little bit spoiled or hard done by.
I’m a little bit of an adrenaline junky.
An audience is going to be able to find a little bit of Dorothy in themselves and relate to this woman.: roles like Dorothy Day are so rare in Hollywood.
I may have a little bit of a talent for music, but I’ve learnt to tap into my own self when I write. When I put the drill bit inside my heart, sometimes I come up with something light and frothy, sometimes with something deep and painful, but it’s great to connect with the audience.
Who knows? Maybe years from now I’ll be on a ranch in Colorado with 10 kids. The whole point of life is to experience a little bit of everything, and I think it’s better when there are a few surprises thrown in.
I was always able to get money, but now it’s a little bit more money, and I manage the same way. I just want to see my family do better.
I was never ignorant, as far as being experienced in classrooms and learning about different subjects and actually soaking it up, so I checked into college for a little bit. I took classes at a community college in West L.A. I took psychology, English, and philosophy.
I recently did the David Letterman Show about my book. He was very serious and made no jokes and it caught me off guard a little bit. He was much more serious than some of the joke shows that journalists get on.
At 49, I find it a little bit difficult to run these days. I’ve got grade four tears in both Achilles, shin splints, I got no cartilage the toes in my right foot, I’ve got bone marrow edemas under both knees, I’ve got one degenerating hip – that’s the problem you get.
I’m just glad when I was fighting for us to wrestle I would always have people tell me, ‘Gail, women’s wrestling is for the bathroom breaks, you know they really don’t want to see it.’ I would get discouraged a little bit but I was very adamant, so I’m glad that we girls proved them wrong.
