If I was a white rapper, the bar for me would be Eminem. Of course his white skin helped him excel to heights that a lot of other rappers couldn’t, but he still was talented. People gravitated towards him because of his skills. He stood the test of time.
Eddie Fisher married to Elizabeth Taylor is like me trying to wash the Empire State Building with a bar of soap.
In the big picture, few of our careers live up to the dreams we nursed when we were young. In fact, one underside of success is that it’s nearly always penultimate, and so every accomplishment merely raises the bar.
The Uncharted’ series really pushed me as a developer. They managed to raise the bar with every single release and produce an action- packed thrill ride starring characters I wanted to hang out with, and mechanics I can easily pick up and play.
Yes; quaint and curious war is! You shoot a fellow down you’d treat if met where any bar is, or help to half-a-crown.
I started off as a bar band. We played ZZ Top, Bob Seger, Waylon Jennings, the Rolling Stones – everything and anything people wanted to hear. You’re not really selling yourself back then; you’re selling beer.
Years and years ago, I sang at a blues bar with a band behind me. It was with my friend, my guitar teacher at the time. I took some sporadic lessons.

The pool table, like bathroom graffiti and horrible lighting, is a dive bar staple.
When you dance with Arjun, the bar is set so high that you need to really push yourself to match up to him. Nevertheless, it’s always fun to dance with him.
I’d get home at 3:30 A.M. from the bar after my shift ended at 1. I’d write jokes, film it, and then sleep. So I did that for two years.
In fact one of the main reasons I head out to Los Angeles quite a bit is because they have the most amazing sushi bar in the world.
When I first opened Milk Bar, I was also making desserts for the Momofuku restaurants. I will say that by day three or day four, I realized that operating a bakery was so different from operating a restaurant.
Any time a bar or chef cares more about their own ego than the tastes and comforts of their customers, they should just open a monument to themselves and not a business.
With all due respect to the people who made the motorcycle movies during the ’60s, I felt the sophistication level could be a bit higher, and I felt I could raise the bar on that, too.
Something that’s good in the mini-culture of ‘Happy Endings’ is that the goal is to try and make each other laugh. There is a pretty high bar, and you want to make the writers laugh, and you want to elevate what’s already great material – and also, we’re like, ‘Who is even watching this? Let’s just go for it.’
The Rolling Stones set the bar to where I look to as a band. But I don’t envision myself touring in the way they do. My knees won’t hold out.
I want a house with a garden, but slap bang in the centre of London. Next door to a sushi bar.
I want to learn skiing and parallel bar gymnastics.
I think I misunderstood the following in the footsteps bit, in a few of my early drinking years. I’d take any form of being compared to Dad as flattery. So if I fell off a stool or smashed up a TV set just because I was drunk, and somebody in the bar went ‘Hey, man, that was just like Bonzo!’ I would be really happy.
I’ve never met a woman ever, anywhere, bar none, that was more feminine than Dixie Carter.
To some degree, to control light, I have to have a way to form it, so I use form almost like the stretcher bar of a canvas.
I was in a bar the other night, hopping from barstool to barstool, trying to get lucky, but there wasn’t any gum under any of them.
I am very excited to confirm I will be at BAR. I wish to thank Ferrari for six fantastic years.
My uncle, he’s a big DJ out here in L.A. His name is DJ Tee; he’s got a bar in Westchester.
I studied with Strasberg, Elia Kazan. They raised the bar. They weren’t easy to please, and they made you achieve the best you could do. That’s what a teacher does: he infuses you with passion for something.
I like to play in the low 70’s. If it gets any hotter than that I’ll stay in the bar!
After workouts, I always try to eat protein right away, like a protein smoothie or an organic protein bar – you get them online.
I have very fond memories of Basil’s Bar. It was an extraordinary place. You would go for a drink and it would be empty except for the bar bore, which was David Bowie.
My favourite word? I think, delicious, because it sounds so delicious. You say it, and you just wanna eat a chocolate bar.
There is a high bar for something to be considered a human right. Loosely put, it must be among the things we as humans need in order to lead healthy, meaningful lives, like freedom from torture or freedom of conscience.
Don’t drink in the hotel bar, that’s where I do my drinking.
To have TNT and ITV, this is the best distribution any wrestling company has had bar none.
I had a world theme at my Bar Mitzvah: each table was a different country. I had a miserable time. There was one picture of me, and I’m wearing a double-breasted suit. There were all these people having fun, and I’m just standing there. I look like a corporate lawyer who just found out he’s not making partner.
When I became political and Communist, it was because they were the only people I had ever met who fought the color bar in their lives.
I wasn’t around in the old days, but if you look at guys from the 70s, 80s and 90s, back then these guys were the kind of guys that if you walked up to them in a bar you would not go up to them and talk trash to.
Bars are about experience and interaction; so often, the people make the bar.
We came to Portland because there was a good alternative public school. Friends who lived there told me about it, and my son loved it. I left his dad and went to work slinging hash in a breakfast diner and working nights tending bar in a biker tavern.
I crave clean food, but do have an occasional chocolate bar or ice cream.
If you see me or another model in a bar, wait until you are spoken to before you speak.
As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I’ve been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.
A very high bar has been set with Robert Downey in ‘Iron Man.’ That idea was, find the best actor for the part, regardless of whether they’ve been in a movie like this before.
I like Le Bilboquet. I know it’s been around for a while, but it’s a classic. I do love a hotel bar, too. Anywhere dark too is a great place to go. I haven’t dated that much in New York since I’ve been back.
It is much the best way… to lay the emphasis on the first part of the bar in triple time, and on the first and third parts of the bar in common time.
The Lamb’s Club is going to be a luxury bar and grill; we’re not doing an overly fancy restaurant. We wanted to make a space that people will come to every day, almost like a very high-end bistro.
I put so much pressure on myself to raise the bar with each and every project. I treat it like every film is my last, and I make sure I pour everything I have into every film I make because if I’m not trying to improve, someone else will.
I’m not a big oyster eater. But I know people who will sit at a raw bar and eat oyster for two hours.
The problem is, women have stopped setting the bar high.
When I’m working in theatre I never go to the bar with the other actors; I go home and think about what I did wrong.
I drank because I enjoyed it. I was happy sitting at the end of the bar on my own, reading the paper. I’ve always enjoyed my own company, and that stems from riding alone. I never trained with anyone – and I still don’t. I’ve always been happy with my own thoughts, and that sums me up as an individual-pursuit rider.
A great screenplay makes everybody step up to the bar and deliver.
If you’re meeting someone for the first time after three hours of hair, makeup, and styling, you’ve already set the bar too high.
The Comedy Bar is an intimate club, which I prefer. I refuse to play theatres, because large empty spaces make me nervous, and I don’t enjoy the echo. I’m no sell out. Literally.
As a female candidate, you always expect that some people will think you are not as capable of being an executive, or that you may be ‘too emotional’ for office. As an African-American woman, the bar can be even higher.
If you’re stumbling out of a bar, and people tweet about it, well, don’t be dumb. If you’re going to get falling-down drunk, stay at home – which I did a lot of.
The corporations are shoving just the worst music down everybody’s throats, and I think the result of that is that nobody has any taste. They have no bar as to what is good.
