Welcome, wild harbinger of spring! To this small nook of earth; Feeling and fancy fondly cling, Round thoughts which owe their birth, To thee, and to the humble spot, Where chance has fixed thy lowly lot.
I don’t take acting classes – I’m quite an autodidact. I prefer to learn from other actors by watching various movies. Evaluate my acting, spot the flaws and fix them.
You’ve got to find a sweet spot where you skill meets your passion, meets your job.
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.
Look into any man’s heart you please, and you will always find, in every one, at least one black spot which he has to keep concealed.
The end of ‘Hollow City’ left the peculiar children in a very precarious spot, and that’s just where ‘Library of Souls’ begins.
It is always a battle; it doesn’t matter in which club or which position. If you don’t perform well, even when you start, you might lose your spot in any position.
I love hiking out to Fallen Leaf Lake. It’s a beautiful spot to go hike around, and it’s at the base of one of the biggest mountains, Mount Tallac! And of course, I love to hit Sierra at Tahoe for snowboarding.
I was a walk-on at Maryland, I had to earn my scholarship and starter spot, and the things that’ve come after.
What could be more fitting – or more exciting – than to restage Shakespeare’s plays on the very spot where they were first performed, in the shape and style of theater for which they were written?
Obviously, every player wants to keep their spot in the starting line-up, and I’m the same.
I watched a film called ‘Elephant’ recently. Its not stylish in the sense of expensive suits and Italian cars, but the styling on every single character is spot on.
I love improvising on the spot. I like that pressure.
I’m tired of thinking about playoffs, playoffs, six, seven, eighth spot. I want to think about championship. That’s something that we always thought when I came to Denver. That’s what I felt as soon as I came to Denver coming from New York where we were not winning.
I was scared someone would ask me something I didn’t know and I’d be on the spot. It’s the paranoia of a very shy person. I’ve gotten over those feelings about interviews for the most part.
Once you get over the culture shock, Filey is a pleasant spot, particularly at the beginning or end of the summer, when the hotels are half full. The brave go in winter, when the wind can be bitter and biting and Filey resumes its real life as a tiny, introverted fishing community.
People tend to group together their favourite sitcoms and feel that they all took place in one spot named ‘the past’, but in fact all these sitcoms are spread over a long period of time, and all the terrible sitcoms that were on have been justifiably forgotten.
When I step up to that penalty spot, I know the consequences. They’re the same whether I miss the first, second, third – or the 10th – it will be the same.
I don’t really go out, ‘go out’ that much anymore. I live in Brooklyn, in Williamsburg, so I just like to wander around. Williamsburg’s such a cool little neighborhood community spot.

I do not fear the pressure to win because I spent 14 years in England always fighting for a starting spot, and that’s what I want to continue doing.
Yes, you have to be brave enough to take steps that your heart is telling you to take. Because when I decided to go into cricket, not one person told me I was making the right move. At that time, nobody thought the IPL would become so big. I was nervous at that time, because suddenly I was in an uncomfortable spot.
For me, art is always a kind of theater. When I started the spot paintings, I made them as an endless series. But I was never serious about it being an endless series. It was just an implied endless series. The theater means you just have to make it look good for that moment in the spotlight.
Obviously, you have to play well to keep your spot.
I’m still the guy who shared the ring with The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Triple H when they were still actually active. And I’m aware, as my wife loves to hear. It’s not different than any sport in the world where the best wrestlers are gonna get the best spots. That spot is for me, because I’ve earned it.
I’ve learned to play you know the backup point guard spot and to play on the wing if need be, and it’s something I embrace.
I would love do a guest spot on ‘Castle’ because Nathan Fillion is so dreamy, and he and I are friends. And I think we could have a lot of fun.

I have a weak spot for late ’60s-early ’70s yippie paperbacks and protest manifestos. I find them at flea markets or online. One of my favorites is ‘Right On,’ a compendium of student protests made into this 95-cent paperback with the most amazing graphics.
I did love horror films from the ’70s and ’80s. That was my sweet spot.
I’m the ultimate beauty junkie – that inspiration, obsession, and addiction is one of the main reasons I founded Pat McGrath Labs in 2015. So, when fellow beauty junkies spot me, there’s nothing I enjoy more than discovering what they’re addicted to. It’s so inspiring!
Lucca, in Italy, is my favorite vacation spot.
What I keep going back to, and what keeps me going, is trying to do good in whatever little spot of the world we can influence, no matter how small.
It’s a beautiful thing, the desire to help a fellow human who is maybe in a rough spot.
Oh, I can spot a phoney a mile away.
Home is the dearest spot on earth, and it should be the centre, but not the boundary, of the affections.
Copy my favorite moves and my Tour-proven setup positions, and you’ll start catching it on the sweet spot every time, with every club in your bag.
If you don’t get adventurous, you stay in the same spot; you don’t really grow.

I became a singer and a songwriter by learning on the spot, so think I always need to be slightly out of my comfort zone when I do something. I’ve never stopped being experimental because that’s how I started.
Teachers need to have the capacity to spot those that are struggling early on and intervene.
Glenn’s passing was so unexpected and has left me with a very heavy heart filled with sorrow. He was so young and still full of amazing genius. He was an extremely talented songwriter, arranger, leader, singer, guitarist – you name it – and Glenn could do it and create ‘Magic’ on the spot.
There are a million brands of micellar water, but the Bioderma was recommended to me by a makeup artist, and it really cleans your face when you’re not able to wash it on the spot.
I’m so blessed to have a chance to play 15 years in one spot. I know my position is different than most. But even in my position, guys that have played it this long, have probably already been with two or three different teams.
My little boy, West, and my wife, they’re my rock and that’s the thing that keeps driving me to do better at what I do professionally. There was a time in my career where I had been on this huge roller coaster ride and I’d really got in the spot where I could’ve hung up it and just been a songwriter.
My impressions of the Russian Revolution can be divided into two periods. The first period was when I showed deep sympathy. My second period is one of disappointment. This change was the result of close observation on the spot.
Land, in England, is valuable, because we have highly-paid artisans to consume the produce on the spot.
God is back and Europe as a whole still doesn’t get it. It is our biggest single collective cultural and intellectual blind spot.

My sweet spot as a writer and, especially, as an essayist is sub-1500 words.
Not only does a good knife make cooking easier, but it makes it safer too. An 8-inch is the sweet spot when it comes to the perfect everyday size.
I owe a lot to my time on ‘House of Cards’ because, up until I booked that show, I had been working consistently for 12 years, but I wasn’t working on anything that mattered in the way ‘House of Cards’ did to its audience, to casting directors, to directors and producers. The show hit this sweet spot.
When you’re playing spot minutes, it’s harder to hit those shots. But if you’re getting volume shots, now it’s a lot easier to get a rhythm.
