Used as kites, these rigid stable aeroplanes are superior to the very best cellular kites I can make; they are lighter, pull harder per square foot, attain a greater angle of elevation, and have fewer parts.
In L.A., fat people are mythical. We’re like Big Foot. ‘Oh, yeah, my cousin knows someone who’s fat.’ Nobody’s fat in L.A.

I always did my own thing. I’m not an outsider, but I have one foot in and one foot out.
Zidane told me that since Messi, he had never seen a left foot like mine. I was a little impressed, because Messi is a piece of a footballer.
College has been oversold. It has been oversold to students who end up dropping out or graduating with degrees that don’t help them very much in the job market. It also has been oversold to the taxpayers, who foot the bill for subsidies that do nothing to encourage innovation and economic growth.
That’s what I love about baseball, that it gives the opportunity for every single guy to develop and play the game. There’s not a rule that you have to be 6 foot or you have to be real strong to play baseball or to become a good player.
I’m a big advocate of starting soccer young and always having the ball at your foot, but that’s because I didn’t do that. If I’d focused more on that when I was a kid, it would’ve been so helpful. It took me, like, halfway through college to feel comfortable with the ball.
Acting… honestly, I’m so uncomfortable and so awkward that I could never think about setting foot in a theater room or acting class.
I never stepped foot into a Brooks Brothers before ‘Mad Men.’
I love foot rubs, too. I’ll take one whenever I can.
What’s interesting to me is the fact that creatively, I can do anything now and people will pay attention, and if I suck, hopefully they will stop paying attention very quickly, but if I’m good, then I have my foot in the door, and people have paid attention, and I did a good job, and people are like, ‘Oh, wow!’
Sometimes in my mind I have a picture of something happening, and because the foot is not right it is harder to happen. I see the ball and I can see myself intercepting it or rebounding or doing this stuff, and it’s just not there. There’s not the movement or explosiveness.
My dad was this pint-sized Nigerian with an oversized personality. My mother is a tall six foot something Irish-English woman. Us walking down the street was quite an unusual sight, when I was growing up.
I can’t pull back. I’m 6 foot 3, I’m tall, and I’m gay. I light up the room.
I’d love to retire somewhere like Winchester, where you have one foot on the pavement but a sense of being in the country as well.
There are few players who play on their natural foot as a winger.
When I used to dribble, I’d be on the wing, and I’d control it with the outside of my foot – it slows the ball down.
There’s a saying in Africa: ‘To find out you are pregnant is to have one foot in the grave.’
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
The world is all the richer for having a devil in it, so long as we keep our foot upon his neck.
I am not good at first or second impressions, and you have to spend some time with me to know me. Also, I don’t want to put my best foot forward and prove something, as that is not me. I would rather be me and have you like me for who I am, instead of being someone else.
I do not celebrate the appointment of women to high positions in regimes where cruelty is a favored tool of governance by a patriarchy; if they accept, they are nothing short of foot soldiers of that patriarchy and the violence it has instituted.
As a man, having a conversation about feminism can be tricky – the best I can do is to have assumptions and ask questions. You always run the risk of putting your foot in it.
I loved passing, just feeling the ball against my foot. I think any individual, if you enjoy certain things, you tend to practice it more. That was kind of me.
Monsters just outside our peripheral vision are scarier to contemplate than monsters miles away or in someplace only a fool would set foot in.
We’re all out to set our best foot forward and to make NXT the best we possibly can, but at the end of the day, we all want to have the best match.
My mother used to sit at the foot of my bed, and she would share her dreams with me.
I love that Euro-pop dance music, but with girl power. I also listen to Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan. I have a Beatles song tattooed on my foot. I’m all over the place.
I think overall body awareness and knowing exactly where I need to be makes a big difference. Knowing how much weight to put on each foot or where I need to put my hands are things I’m very good at. Obviously with the wrestling background those are things that come naturally.
I am five foot two and a half, and vary between a size 10 and size 12.
I have played as a goalkeeper since I was six but I always worked on my ball skills, playing with my foot, knowing how to control the ball, how to pass. But the main thing is to save goals.
You never really get a chance to sit back and look at where you are or what you’ve done. If you stop working, you’re gonna get overtaken quickly. You can’t really take your foot off the gas – until you decide to pack it in.
I definitely rediscovered reading for pleasure by devoting such a large swath of my time to sitting on airplanes. I am now painfully adept at removing my shoes so as to have the least amount of foot surface area touching an airport floor.
All coffee shops now have WiFi. Why bring a book when you could be wittily attacking some idiot columnist on Twitter, or responding to your date requests, or posting a picture of your foot? All of that is more gripping and immediate and social than books.
I saw what looked like another fallen tree in front of me and put my foot on it to cross over. At that moment it reared up in front of me-the biggest python I had ever seen!
I was watching fights on TV one day with my oldest son and we watched a ring announcer announce a split decision where he gave the winning scores first, so he took away the drama. So my son said: ‘Dad you could do that,’ and the light went off in my head and I decided to contact promoters and got my foot in the door.
My left foot is not the strongest but I can be clever by going round somebody or using the right side of my foot.
Teaching does allow me to keep one foot in the youthful waters I tend to occupy in my novels, so I’m thankful for that. My students also remind me on a daily basis that the stories I collected during my district attorney days are actually interesting to people who haven’t had that experience.
I think if you try a little bit too hard sometimes, you can kind of shoot yourself in the foot.
San Antonio is an ideal market for Major League Soccer. It’s time that we put our best foot forward.
Many films you see in theaters are financed through outside sources. With big films, the studio will pay, hoping to reap the reward of their big bet. But with medium and small-sized films, outside production companies and financiers often foot the bill.
My sign is Leo. A Leo has to walk with pride. When he takes a step, he has to put his foot down. You walk into a room and you want people to know your presence, without you doing anything.
It is no use painting the foot of the tree white, the strength of the bark cries out from beneath the paint.
I’ve always been one foot in, one foot out of this game because I’m not comfortable with being on the pedestal or the poster. That’s just not who I am. I’m more like the grunt. I want to be the guy behind the guy.
