I knew I wasn’t a baseball writer. I was scared to death. I really was afraid to talk to players, and I didn’t want to go into the press box because I thought I was faking it.
The box got bigger, the outside, the buildings. And all that we were doing. I had to raise about $1 million every two days just to stay alive.
Lil Uzi and I gave Philly different sounds by stepping outside of the box and not sticking to the stigma.
Like everyone, I am formed by my background, and mine was – well, we didn’t have a lot of money. I didn’t live in a cardboard box, but I did live in a place where, at the end of the week, the money was gone.
When I want to support a film starring actors I like, I purchase several tickets at the box office – even if I can’t stay for the movie.
Hollywood will put you in a box, so to speak. Some people will have seen you in ‘La Bamba’ or another dramatic film and think, ‘Okay, that’s what Lou does.’ But they don’t really have an idea of the range or diversity that I can bring to a project.
Film is a very tight little box. If you don’t fit in that box, you’re gone. Television, there’s more room to move around.
Everything TSA does is reactionary – first they ban the box cutters, then of course you have to take your shoes off, then you have to take the liquids out, now we have to be patted down in our private areas because of the diaper bomber.
It seems odd to think of tasting without any perceptive experience, but you are doing it right now. Humans have taste receptor cells in the gut, the voice box, the upper esophagus. But only the tongue’s receptors report to the brain.
I have a box of evidence that’s going to a certain person should anything happen to me, so if you top me off, it’s still going to that person, and the truth will come out.
Life is like a box of sardines and we are all looking for the key.
Different people’s houses smell like different weird things. God forbid someone should come and nail down what my house smells like. It’d probably be a litter box… sweaty socks… and burnt bacon. That probably is what it smells like.
You know how many movies it took Tom Cruise before he was making 5, 6 million dollars? It probably took a billion dollars in box office.
I mean people just have a way of – y’know they’ll review your record in two sentences and put you in this little stupid box that you don’t want to be in.
Eggs is great at leading the Boxtrolls, and that’s probably my favorite trait of his. He is a Boxtroll, but he hasn’t lost all of his human virtues. He can get out of his box, and he can fight back, which the Boxtrolls can’t.
When we made that album with Gary Moore, I was still kind of searching for the right direction for myself. Although the music is quite good the direction was like a box of fireworks that caught light all at the same time.
There’d be days I was in the locker room with my dad doing media, and there’d be other days that I’d be with my mom in the press box and just kind of looking at stuff from that point of view. I’d see guys writing stories after the game and stuff like that. So it was cool to me to see both sides.
I’ve been offered all the reality TV shows but have turned them down. If I did it as ‘Johnny,’ there’d be no jungle left! It was really hard regaining control of myself, so I am reluctant to let ‘Johnny’ back out of the box.
I have two daughters: One an open book, one a locked box. So the question of privacy is a challenging one. How much do kids need? How much should we give? How do we prepare them to live in a world where the very notion of privacy opens a generational chasm?
States should require vaccinations for communicable diseases, like measles and the mumps. But you can’t catch HPV if an infected schoolmate coughs on you or shares your juice box at lunch. Whether or not girls get vaccinated against HPV is a decision for parents and physicians, not state governments.
When we first started in Huntington Recreation with John Capobianco, we put four kids in the Golden Gloves finals. We didn’t even have a ring. We trained at Stimson Junior High School. They give us the gym three nights a week. We used to box in the gym – no ring, just on the gym floor.
An actor is like a piece of clay: you just keep moulding me. Even people who work with you every day want to put you in a little box.
I think things like ‘farm to table’ are misleading. I think sometimes that becomes a pedestal or a soap box to get people into your restaurant but is not… it’s almost empty in a way. I mean, my food comes from a farm, and I serve it on a table.
When I was young I didn’t care about education, just money and box office.
Pay attention, don’t let life go by you. Fall in love with the back of your cereal box.
If you think about ‘The Pill’ by Loretta, that was totally blacklisted back then. But she revolutionized and liberated a generation of women – country listeners and beyond – that were sort of in that box and were able to break out of it.
People will put restrictions on your ability, on your aptitude, on your talent, on your character, and to be honest, it’s just opinion. Don’t let anyone put you in a box or draw your path for you.
Whether we’re looking at the burial box of St. James, a fragment of the True Cross, the Shroud of Turin, or some bones supposedly belonging to John the Baptist, there is always excitement and distrust, faith and doubt.
But the character was so successful, that first one, that they wrote him again and he came in right at the end of the first year in a show called THE BOX. I was up for the Emmy for that one too.
If you can even manage to tell exactly what a song is about, all you do is put that song in a box forever, and it loses its evocative power.
I’ll eat one cookie, not a whole box of cookies. But I’ll still eat the one cookie… sometimes two, or even three. But not the whole box.
Films must all have the same structure. All of this to guarantee box office bonanza, which of course it never does, but that’s another discussion entirely.
My mother gave me boxing gloves; I wanted boxing gloves. I liked to box. So I still have them. They’re still in my bookcase, very old, tattered, and they were cherished.
I was born in Amersham, England on 6/4/58. My family moved to Australia when I was eight, and I went to Box Hill High School and then Melbourne High School. I liked to draw and write at school, and I liked books by J.R.R. Tolkien, A.A. Milne and Kenneth Grahame.
I don’t think an artist should keep themselves categorized in a specific box.
I love any excuse to dress up; my wardrobe’s a bit like a fancy dress box.
In a democracy, supposedly we hold power by what we do at the ballot box, so therefore the more we know about political power the better our choices should be and the better, in theory, our democracy should be.
It’s fantastic to see ‘Les Miserables’ become the top-grossing film at the U.K. box office.
The main battle is to make people realise that doubt is important. Doubt is good. The ‘don’t know’ answer sometimes is the box you should tick, and it’s about not being scared about that fact. Even the greatest minds don’t know everything.
I like to box. It’s a great release.
The movies I respond to are by guys like the Coen brothers and Edgar Wright, where it’s hard to fit them into any one box.
I like to work out. I work out hard when I get to it, but it’s so sporadic, I’m not sure it counts at all! I eat pretty much anything, but I eat high-quality food. There was never a packet of chips or box of candy in my house when I was growing up. Ever.
I’m going to try to not let anyone put me in a box, and that certainly applies to the things I do outside of acting.
The studio didn’t ask them to learn their trade, they just worked them, and when that personality or that gimmick or whatever they had ran dry at the box office, they were dropped and out.
The RFA requires federal agencies to assess the economic impact of their regulations on small firms, and if significant, consider less burdensome alternatives. Federal agencies sometimes fail to comply at all, or simply ‘check the box,’ fulfilling the letter of the law, while missing the purpose of the law entirely.
I took all of my rejection letters – there must have been thousands of them in a huge box – and I went out on the curb and burned them all, crying.
‘Gutur Gu’ is a silent comedy, which I had never done. I wanted to do something out of the box. It’s exciting, tough, and fun. Dialogues are very important for actors, and to emote without them took some getting used to. It’s giving me scope to learn a lot.
I started a youth center in Houston. The kids would come in and want to learn to box; they wanted to tear up the world, beat up the world. And I’d try to show them they didn’t need anger. They didn’t need all that killing instinct they’d read about. You can be a human being and pursue boxing as a sport.
I’ve been looking at the iPod- the Apple iPod. One of the interesting things about the iPod, one of the things that people love most about it is not the technology; it’s the box it comes in.
I want to be remembered as somebody that tried to respect her integrity as an artist and as a person. And I don’t want to be in any box. I don’t want to be one thing.
I always like to challenge myself. I never want to be put into a box.
A little more movement of the defensive side of the ball, some rules that will be unnoticed, but a big rule will be allowing the jack linebacker to move out of the box sideline to sideline.
