I would tell anyone who wants something from someone else to feign not wanting it. People are perverse. If you show great affection to them, they’ll run the other way.
My acting career began when I walked into a drama school class run by Anna Scher in Islington. Anna discovered a lot of people: Linda Robson, Pauline Quirke, Gary and Martin Kemp, and Dexter Fletcher were among my contemporaries.
I joined the Indian Police Service as a tough woman, a woman with indefatigable stamina, because I used to run for my tennis titles, etc.
I’m not much to watch. I run, I fight, I’m not elegant like Raul, Figo, Zidane or Beckham.
In a way, the manager plays as big part, but you, as a player, are on the pitch. He cannot make you run if you don’t want to; he cannot make you make the right decision in the heat of the moment.
If we are too friendly to nice, decent bishops, we run the risk of buying into the fiction that there’s something virtuous about believing things because of faith rather than because of evidence. We run the risk of betraying scientific enlightenment.
I had such a run of bad luck that you lose faith that good things are going to happen any more. I still don’t answer the door because I went through so long expecting it to be a bailiff.
Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so.
To me, Ann Romney sounds like a better candidate than her husband. She put her MS into remission through horseback riding, alternative therapies, and a healthy diet. She knows how to pace herself. She has a sense of humor and an innate honesty, and her hair moves in the wind. Maybe she should run.
When I was a child, she’d have me wash the lettuce ten times or open walnuts by hand to make a cake. I was like, ‘Mom, this is ridiculous.’ But now? I run my kitchen the same way.
I was a bed wetter till very late. My mom used to hang my sheets out the window to dry, and I’d have to run home from school in order to beat the other kids to my house so they wouldn’t see them.
It is as if my life were magically run by two electric currents: joyous positive and despairing negative – whichever is running at the moment dominates my life, floods it.

When you’re making a film, you have to make most of your decisions on the run, and there is a tendency to always shoot from the hip.
My parents were brutal to each other, so I slept in the basement by an old coal-fired furnace. I became a street kid. Occasionally, I’d live with aunts or uncles, then I’d run away to live in the woods, trapping and hunting game to survive. The wilderness pulled at me; still does.
How can you contribute towards building the Indian society and the Indian nation? No better way than to upgrade the quality of young people in school, particularly the schools which are run by the state government in the villages.
When someone says ‘Yasss queen!’ to me, I turn around and, X-Men style, run through a wall. You’ll never hear from me again.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Normally, I stay away from politics – unless I’m going to run for president.
I like to run, to go down the stairs, I’m one of those kind of people.
Well first of all, tell me, is there some society you know of that doesn’t run on greed? You think Russia doesn’t run on greed? You think China doesn’t run on greed? What is greed?
If God had me run for something, I would do it in a heartbeat.
The thing I like about baseball is that it’s one-on-one. You stand up there alone, and if you make a mistake, it’s your mistake. If you hit a home run, it’s your home run.
I go to the gym in a baseball cap, sweats and then run into a boy I like. It happens – so what?
Socialism and communism fall of their own weight because, as Margaret Thatcher said, you run out of other people’s money. Because socialized medicine never falls of its own weight because you put people on lists, and they die waiting to get the treatment and care. So you don’t go broke.
All these older kids here, and I’m the only one from a town that’s so small, if everyone breathed at the same time, you’d run out of oxygen. Man, there is nothing there.
If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.

America must realize, there are conditions she must accept in Asia. The first is a diversity of Asian cultures, governments, economic and political systems; the second, that to run against the tide of Asian nationalism is worse than impractical – it is also highly dangerous.
The truth is a mayor can actually do very little to alter the course of a huge city run by the free market that is home to banking – the engine room of capitalism.
My inventing time is all done under the influence of aerobic exercise. Basically, I do all my thinking while I run.
Religion is run by thought police. ‘Obey. Listen. This is what you do. Don’t ask questions. Go die for your country.’ The spirituality says, ‘Okay, you can die for your country, but know what you’re doing while you’re doing it.’
If ‘Chicago Fire’ goes for a long run, maybe I’ll look for a place, but in my line of work, you can’t throw your eggs into one basket because you might have to move. I’m not big on ‘things,’ though, so I don’t own TVs, couches or cars because I wouldn’t know where to put them.
The truth is, you cannot run a political campaign like a tech startup. Technology is a field that fetishizes disruption. The old ways are suspect, and we place an almost irrational trust on new tools. That’s fine for developing games, but it was a failing playbook for politics.
I will run with perfect style when they start judging races for their beauty, like figure-skating. For now, I just want to run as fast as possible.

Every now and then, markets behave like schoolchildren. They overreact, they run around like crazy.
If you run from a bear, it’ll chase you. And they can run fast.
We don’t have to guess what Mitt Romney would have done if he were president. Because he told us. He said we should let foreclosures – and I quote – ‘hit the bottom’ so the market could – I quote – ‘run its course.’
My mother and father were fantastic, very active. I find it difficult to say this, but I’m quite a loving person and I’ve always been loving to my friends. In the long run, that pays off. I’m very interested in other people, and if you are, they’re interested in you.
It might be, it could be… it is! A home run!
The elections are run by the same industries that sell toothpaste on television.
You make the right decision for the long run. You manage for the long run, and you continue to move to higher value. That’s what I think my job is.
I wanted to be an independent woman, a woman who could pay for her bills, a woman who could run her own life – and I became that woman.
We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknown river to explore. What falls there are, we know not; what rocks beset the channel, we know not; what walls ride over the river, we know not. Ah, well! we may conjecture many things.
It is impossible to win the race unless you venture to run, impossible to win the victory unless you dare to battle.
The upward course of a nation’s history is due in the long run to the soundness of heart of its average men and women.
The key is to hit the ball first, then the sand. Even if you catch it a bit thin, you’ll still get plenty of run. Hitting it fat is what you want to avoid.

Life only demands from you the strength that you possess. Only one feat is possible; not to run away.
Lie on the bridge and watch the water flowing past. Or run, or wade through the swamp in your red boots. Or roll yourself up and listen to the rain falling on the roof. It’s very easy to enjoy yourself.

I travel with a bunch of battery packs because I don’t always have time to charge my phone at the hotel room when I’m traveling. I always change them, so I never run out of battery.
I grew up in what some would call an immaculately clean home. I hated my mom a little for it. I wasn’t allowed to paint my nails, since they’d chip and ‘look trashy.’ My brother and I didn’t run around in clothes that had holes or were stained.
