As I see it, if the production of a factory is expanding, and workers are satisfied, it’s OK for there to be a disparity. The best paid should be about three times more than the worst paid.
We all know about secrets – to have that pressure of something you can’t reveal. That’s universal: ‘Am I safe? Am I gonna be OK? Will my family still love and respect me?’
I had the notion that, OK, so now we have all of this wealth, we could buy not only one expensive car, we could buy all of them. As soon as you realize that you could buy all of them, then none of them are particularly interesting or satisfying.
You need to stop looking outside and look inside – and it’s such a good feeling. A feeling of love and that everything is going to be OK, and all you have to do is nothing.
My husband is leaving me. No dramas, no slammed doors – well, OK, a few slammed doors – and no suitcase in the hall, but there is another woman involved. Her name is Dementia.
At the end of OK Computer we were playing big, big arenas and it wasn’t right. You can do those things occasionally but at the time it didn’t feel right.

N.Y. hip-hop is ok, but we gotta become brave again; we have to be brave enough and do something new – that’s what New York is about… New.

My back has been compressed and operated on, my feet have been surgically cut up, and I have a knee that’s just going wacky. So I do my own driving, and I ski and skate. I’m playing hockey again. Anything that immobilizes my feet I’m OK with.
Once I turned pro, I was like,’ OK, this is not fun and games now. This is me. I’m going to come, and I work on karma. I’m not going to go after somebody if I don’t have a reason behind it, so as soon as there is some sort of a reason for me to do something that I need to do, then I’ll do it.’
Most of the time I like to start an album abroad, not at home, just to avoid the pressure, to not wake up and think, ‘OK, it’s the first of recording this album.’ I like to avoid that.
I was not a great bartender, but I did OK. I wasn’t great at being efficient behind the bar, but I was pretty great at talking to people. I was a pretty good waiter. It was painstaking to get me to care about the clientele of some of these places I was working at.
When I came back from filming ‘Abduction’, I told my agent: I’m staying in London now. If it takes doing children’s theater from the back of a van in Kilburn, that’s OK. I need to be with my family. My job is to keep the family together and provide for them.
If I had to drop everything and just be a songwriter, I would be OK with that because that’s the real joy.
I went backwards and forwards over it until I was 22. And then in the past few years I began to say to myself, OK, look, I’m not messing around. This is something I want to attack, instead of thinking, I’ll just see what happens with it.
I think Bush has capitulated on affirmative action and government spending. Apart from that, he’s OK, I guess. About the same as Howard Dean.
A doctor once told me that with crying you aren’t sure what its derivation is. If someone comes at you with a knife, you don’t cry: you scream, you try to run. When it’s over and you’re OK, that’s when you cry.
Sometimes when you have a song, you listen to it and say, ‘It’s OK. It’s music to drive to.’ But then there are songs where you can actually hear it as a movie.
I was shocked cause I didn’t even know that they made my jersey. I didn’t know that they made it so fast, so when I saw it I was like, I had to look three times and I was like, ‘Did they customize that?’ And then I saw a couple of other ones and I was like, ok, they must’ve made them overnight or something.
With any sci-fi fantasy storytelling, you must have rules be very clear, otherwise you lose people, like ‘OK, they can fly; now they can’t fly.’
I’ve never really spent too much or put too much gravity or placed too much importance on being a pop star. It’s like, OK, great, does that mean I don’t have to do anything anymore except walk around and be a pop star?
I was raised with the notion that it was OK to ask questions, and it was OK to say, I’m not sure. I believe, but I’m not quite so certain about the resurrection.
We need to change the culture of this topic and make it OK to speak about mental health and suicide.
What do I mean when I say ‘suspended animation’? It is the process by which animals de-animate, appear dead and then can wake up again without being harmed. OK, so here is the sort of big idea: If you look out at nature, you find that as you tend to see suspended animation, you tend to see immortality.
Probably my first couple years in the league, I started paying more attention to what I was wearing. Once I got a few bucks in my pocket and I could afford some nice things, and you get to go, ‘OK, let’s try some of these things.’ And once you try something you like, you probably don’t change it much.
Remember we’re all human and we all have our good days and bad days and days when we feel banging and other days when we feel absolutely rotten and that’s ok.
I’ve always been so apathetic. I figured, OK, maybe the world is going to fall down around me. Now I want to make a better world… that’s motherhood.
The thing I most hate about the Left is that they want to stop us laughing – to prescribe which jokes are OK and which are not OK to make in public and to draw artificial lines around certain subjects. I find all sorts of inappropriate things funny.
When you try new things, you will make mistakes. That’s OK.
It’s not actually OK to just be apathetic about anything.
Don’t be afraid to not be OK. For a lot of people, when they get upset about something, they keep it bottled up, and that’s the worst thing you can do.

I know God is watching out for me, and he’s saying, ‘OK, son, watch your step now. You can be in these places, but just be careful. Keep your guard up.’
It was the Michael Jordan/Nike phenomenon that really let people see that athletes were OK, and black athletes were OK. Defying a previous wisdom – not only that black athletes wouldn’t sell in white America, but that the NBA as a predominantly black sport could not sell in white America.
In the beginning, I wrote OK songs, but they didn’t have a unique perspective.
Obviously, as you grow up, no one’s ever 100 percent proud of every decision that they’ve made, and that’s OK. I think as long as you learn from your mistakes and don’t make them over and over again, you’re on the right path.
The hardest thing about winning is to continue to win, and I think human instinct says ‘OK, I’ve done this before. I got it, let’s just keep doing what we’re doing.’
I don’t feel like I need to tell any lies. You get to an age where you get tired of hiding behind whatever people think is correct. You just say what you have to say, and if they don’t like it, it’s OK.
I think it was like, ‘I don’t look like you, Mom. I don’t look like you, Dad. Like, what’s going on here?’ They just kind of told me I was adopted. I was like, ‘OK, that’s fine with me.’
Being a fan of someone’s show and the way they still hold a family together doesn’t mean I am OK with all they say.
OK, well maybe I have to get back to Judaism. In the sense that if I look at me and my forebears forever stretching back to I don’t know, whenever there’s no sense of place and therefore no sense of nationality.
I remember my seventh-grade chemistry teacher told me I’d never amount to anything. I thought, ‘Hmm. OK.’ That gave me motivation to prove her wrong.
I’m OK with being the Old Spice Guy because before I was the Old Spice Guy I was the guy looking for work on his couch.
We’re all human beings, but some of us are more sophisticated at covering our flaws. We’re just smart enough to lie to ourselves that everything is OK.
The way I see it, thinking about the position of the club during the swing is about the worst way to play golf. It makes you tight and defensive, which kills your natural speed and rhythm. Although there’s obvious value to minding your technique, at best you’ll play an OK round. Where’s the fun in that?
I think all good architecture should challenge you, make you start asking questions. You don’t have to understand it. You may not like it. That’s OK.
I learned early on – I can go to a shoot, and they will put anything they want to put on me, and I’ll look like an idiot because I didn’t say I don’t like it. It’s OK to have an opinion.

Because I am a character actor, I thought I would be the fourth or eighth banana on a sitcom, and that would be OK.
Cows’ milk and soya milk isn’t good for me. Almond milk and rice milk is OK. I don’t really drink alcohol, either. Maybe wine but only sometimes.
I read ‘Holes’ in 10th grade, and I haven’t read a full book since. The movie version with Shia LaBeouf was OK, but the book was way better.
