And she could never give me an answer. And I realized that, you know, I had a problem on my hands.
So happy that Broken Bells is a thing in my life and really cool in so many ways. Not only, like, as something to sell records and be a band and whatnot, but just to give me an outlet and give me a fresh approach on things.
I always told my parents, ‘Just give me till I’m 27 to do comedy, to make it’.
I don’t purposely speed, but I might go over by five or six miles an hour from time to time. It doesn’t give me a buzz driving on normal roads, because I can’t go fast enough. It’s never going to be anything like an F1 car.
My aim for my dancing and fitness is to achieve flexibility in those disciplines so I am spending time to make sure I stretch after each workout or dancing session I do to give me further strength and ability.
With four-appetizer, four-entree menus, it’s like, give me a break. That’s not a restaurant, that’s a dinner party.
A man can give me a steak, and he’s got my attention.
If I were to leave and raise a venture fund, I would have to find 10 or 100 LPs. They would all give me a bunch of money, and I would take a percentage of that to pay myself. They would expect me to invest that over the next three years, and they want that money back in seven or eight years.
I don’t need anything to live, to be honest. Give me a mattress or a futon on the floor and I’ll be the happiest camper.
My grandmother would give me a beautiful book each year. I especially loved the Beatrix Potter books. They were very detailed. And I promised myself that was what I’d do. I also loved the big words she used. I was excited because I knew what they meant from the context. I put a few big words in for just that reason.
I had never even heard about her until this friend said, ‘Meghan Markle.’ I was like, ‘Right, give me a bit of background. What’s going on here?’ So I had never watched ‘Suits.’
A founder who is in for the short run, or has no passion for the sector he is in, doesn’t give me a great deal of comfort.
I’d stand on a coffee table, and my cousin Edith would give me dimes, and you put the dimes on your head… And when your forehead was full, show was over.
You want to give me chocolate and flowers? That would be great. I love them both. I just don’t want them out of guilt, and I don’t want them if you’re not going to give them to all the people who helped mother our children.
It’s very hard for me to get a new car. It’s really hard for me to get a new house. It’s really hard for me to move on from the things that give me stability.
Give me chastity and continence, but not yet.
When I was seven or eight, whenever I was getting too rowdy at night, my parents would give me a maths workbook to work on to quieten me down.
If you give me enough time, enough leash, I can become pretty reasonable.
I’ll fight anyone for enough money. Give me half a million dollars.
I used to go salmon fishing with the late Jim Slater, the renowned investor, and he would give me tips. He told me to buy shares in football clubs, so I invested in Manchester United before its shares went through the roof.
When I interview people, and they give me an immediate answer, they’re often not thinking. So I’m silent. I wait. Because they think they have to keep answering. And it’s the second train of thought that’s the better answer.
I care what my reader thinks. There is no fancy recommendation you can give me that would matter to me as much as Mary Jane from Youngstown writing me a letter. There is not one. Don’t need it, don’t want it, don’t require it, does not fill up my soul. It’s about her, not about the rest of it.
When you up performing, you gotta have your energy right, so I look after myself, and I take vitamins to give me that boost.
All I can do is work hard, prepare the players properly, give them everything I’ve got and they give me everything they’ve got.
Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.
Being a lifelong athlete, I am a firm believer that I am who I am today because of sports. Not only did it give me structure and a solid foundation, but it gave me a sense of failure and how to overcome failure.
Common would come to my house and give me a freestyle verse. I’d make a new beat for it and put it with something else. That’s how I met Eminem – he came to my house back when he first started. He gave me a bunch of freestyles, and that’s how we built a relationship. Everyone came to my house.
My Grinnell education didn’t prepare me directly for the work that I’m doing, but it did give me the tools that I needed to focus my curiosity.
Where in the world have you seen construction people who do everything on time, with good quality and at minimal prices? Just give me one country like that. A country like that doesn’t exist in the world, you know. There’s not one such country anywhere in the world.
Passover is my idea of a perfect holiday. Dear God, when you’re handing out plagues of darkness, locusts, hail, boils, flies, lice, frogs, and cattle murrain, and turning the Nile to blood and smiting the firstborn, give me a pass. And tell me when it’s over.
For a very long time, I wasn’t thought of as anyone with any credibility in the film world. Everybody is tramping through the swamp every day in this business. ‘I’m worth it, I’m credible – believe me, give me a shot!’ That’s the way I feel on a consistent basis.
To be honest, I’m a bit of a snob now; give me a Four Seasons anywhere in the world and I’m happy. Also, they’ve just opened a Ritz-Carlton in County Wicklow, Ireland, which is stunning and has great views.
I get uncomfortable when people give me presents and watch me open them. I don’t have birthday parties, because the idea of a group of people singing and looking at me while I’m blowing out candles gives me hives.
A lot of the jewelry that I wear are fan gifts because they’re so awesome and they give me great presents.
God, I am afraid he won’t give me his answer today. If only somebody would help me – it is all so terribly depressing.
I don’t wait for people to give me respect. I always give them respect.
More or less, I am always saying, ‘Give me more. Let’s do what has not been done.’
I’m not everybody’s cup of tea. But sometimes criticism can be hurtful. Be respectful. I’m a good piano player, I can sing well, I write good songs. If you don’t like it, fair enough. But give me a break.
I rely on breakfast to give me a kickstart of energy in the morning, so I choose my foods accordingly.
I don’t think I have reached that stage where I can evaluate my career. I still have a long way to go. All I wish for now is to make sensible moves and to choose wisely. It doesn’t matter if there are gaps between films, as long as the ones I do give me the satisfaction of having done something good.
I used to ask my mom to try and shave my head on the sides to give me a receding hairline because Adam Ant had one.
I am not very fond of spotlight or even, for that matter, money. I appreciate the small things that give me joy. The most precious forms of happiness often come from things that money cannot buy.
Thanks to my reading, I have never been caught flat-footed by any situation, never at a loss for how any problem has been addressed… It doesn’t give me all the answers, but it lights what is often a dark path ahead.
I love eating it – grilled chicken, pasta, rice, and other foods that give me long term energy. Every once in a while, my sweet tooth gets the best of me and I have to snack on some candy. Beverage wise, I stick to sports drinks, water, milk, and juice.
I have a good time doing ‘Give Me Back My Man.’ Keith Strickland can really fly on the guitar.
I can’t control what the judges give me.
One cool thing is because Mom and Dad aren’t into the Hollywood scene, they don’t read ‘US Weekly’ or anything like that. They give me space. They don’t care. They just want all of their children to be doing something that they love to do and be able to pay their insurance.
I would prefer to work for directors who give me the script and written screenplay at the outset.
Just give me a good role that allows me to hone my craft, and I am a pretty happy camper.
Give me anything that moves my heart, that gives me goosebumps.
Don’t treat your heart like an action figure wrapped in plastic and never used. And don’t try to give me that nerd argument that your heart is a ‘Batman’ with a limited-edition silver bat-erang and therefore if it stays in its original packing it increases in value.
It’s all about story and character with me, and I don’t care if the job is on daytime or prime time or the web. Hey, give me a good character and someone to listen, and I’ll do my acting on a street corner.
What fulfills me are the goals that I have in life. And those goals are not just about scoring goals, although the goals give me a lot of strength and happiness.
If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.
Fans like to give me things they think Miranda would like.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can’t trust em.
Somehow, the rare trips to Tel Aviv give me the feeling that I have a career.
