After playing with Rob Zombie, I was ready to go, ‘OK, this is as far as I’m taking this bass-playing thing. This is the end of the road.’ I was ready to kind of hang it up.
A lot of times on tour it’s about, ‘OK, where am I today? Wow, I’m in Costa Rica. What is their famous dish?’ And it’s about trying the food, and really experiencing it.
I had saved a lot of money working at Mrs. Fields’ Chocolate Chip Cookies, ushering at the Golden Gate Theatre, and doing odd jobs so I could live in New York for a few months. If it ran out, I would have to give up and go home. It turned out OK. I got my Equity card and started working.
In 1962, my injury wasn’t because of violence; I just kicked the ball and it happened. And that was OK because Brazil won; I didn’t have any difficulty in accepting that. I still got a medal because I’d played two games.
Particularly in China, I think a lot of people start to realise, OK, what are the things that they truly should value? That’s something that fits perfectly well with what Volvo is offering.
It took me a long time to make that leap to being a grown-up and responsible adult because I carried on being a child actor into my late twenties. It’s OK to be precocious when you’re young, but when you’re a man of about 27 or 28 and playing a 17-year-old in a TV show, it kind of prolongs your childhood.
I cry all the time when I watch ‘Glee’ because I don’t know if it’s satire or melodrama and that makes me feel like the writing is aware of itself, and that makes it OK to cry.
You can’t go around chasing your own plays and showing up every time somebody does one somewhere. You just cross your fingers and hope that they’re OK.
Mostly I make lists for projects. This can be daunting. Breaking something big into its constituent parts will help you organize your thoughts, but it can also force you to confront the depth of your ignorance and the hugeness of the task. That’s OK. The project may be the lion, but the list is your whip.
Call me old fashioned, but we’re now holding umbrellas up as our players get off a plane. Do they need that? It’s a few spots of rain. OK, they might get wet. Well, let them get wet. That’s what happens when it rains.
I don’t even know what TV star means. I know there’s a difference in how people approach you, compared to movies. They feel OK coming up to you and sitting with you in a restaurant, unfortunately.
As I got older, I fell in love with Radiohead, and ‘OK Computer’ is one of my favorite albums of theirs. Sonically, the tone of the guitars on tracks like ‘Electioneering’ just rips right through me.
For many years I wanted to do a film, but I never had the courage to clear my desk and say, ‘OK I’ll take a year off and do a film.’
People who are stuck in a Catholic church, that’s OK for them because that’s what they need right now.
My mom has accepted my style. My dad is a little suspect with all the bright colors and loud stuff. He’s a khakis and polo kind of guy. He’s OK with it, but the loud stuff, he says I’m his little daughter.
I know I wasn’t as handsome as some other guys, but I was OK with that.
People in the Hall of Fame tend to clap their hands and say, ‘OK, I’ve done it all,’ but for me, it was a new beginning.
It’s OK to do cute little things like kissing a turtle, but you can’t kiss another person because he’s a different color? Give me a break. And you have to remember, I’m from Dallas, Texas.
I’m not very keen on ageing. I’m not keen on the physical decay. I probably am quite vain. I think you want to try and look OK for the benefit of other people.
The real estate agent had to go door-to-door in the apartment building we wanted to rent, asking if it was OK for this interracial family – my mom is white and I was a 1-year-old half-African kid – to live in the apartment building.
Getting wasted is only OK when you’re young enough to not know better.
Biden’s about as disciplined as a puppy, OK?
I write my songs and just play them, so there are not a whole lot of fireworks. As long as the music comes first, it’s OK to have some fireworks. But not the other way around.
My husband, after two weeks of dating, asked me, if our relationship were to work out, would I be OK with our first boy being named Ace.
Building companies involves creating great wealth. If that means I am an oligarch, OK, it’s fine. But if being an oligarch is about buying football clubs, it is not for me.
I know what I am able and not able to do. Fashion? OK. Fashion… clothes in theatre, in an opera, in a concert – all that I love. To make a movie myself… no!
I’m the minority in my house sometimes. My wife is Swedish, and we go to Sweden and everyone is rattling off in Swedish. It’s like, ‘OK, I can just read a book.’
There is a wonderful feeling of power when you’re a director, but I don’t think I need that, and I’m OK without it.
In OK Computer, the guitar was already moving towards a tone generator as well as a riff generator.
As a boy in school, I already had the drive to be No. 1. If I achieve my goals, OK, but if not, I always ask why and try to rectify myself.
I wanted green in my hair, so I did green. And I got my sunflowers to match. I’ve never done it before. Just said, ‘OK, I’m doing my hair green.’
It’s OK to have a little bit of curve.
My dad took me for an audition once, to show me, ‘OK, you want to be a child actor, this is what it’s like.’ I sang a folk song about donkeys on this West End stage with this big director, and there was a queue of 200 girls all singing ‘Memory.’ I was terrible. Terrible.
Sometimes, of course, I could not belong to the boys club, but that’s OK. There are always ways to do what I wanted to do. It doesn’t really matter so much to me.
People take years learning how to act; it’s a skill, not just a job. If I tried it out and thought I’d be OK, then perhaps I’d go for it, but it’s not the kind of thing you can get into just because of your looks.
There’s no question that I’m African-American. OK? I’m a black man. We’re not going to escape that.
It was a fantastic learning experience and OK, I got slammed because I wasn’t Audrey Hepburn but you could have predicted that, really, if you’d opened your eyes wide enough.
I’ve been the lull, and I’ve been the storm and also somewhere in between. But that’s OK. I love the limelight after all.
I had an acting teacher tell me once that if you’re playing a car salesman, you don’t want to be an OK car salesman, you want to play the best car salesman.
The one I was driving for at the time, Nissan, they pulled out after they won the championship, because it was costing millions of pounds to do a national championship and ok, that might be ok when you’re doing an international championship, but not for a national one.
When we put $4 billion into the U.S. economy, they were OK with this. When we preserved jobs in Dearborn, or preserved jobs in Columbus, or preserved jobs in Pennsylvania, everyone was happy.
OK, so I’m a working mom that also gets to kiss George Clooney. That’s a little bit of a perk of the job.
If you want to page me, It’s OK! I’ve actually had guys tell me they were fans from the ‘Kim Possible’ days. And I’ve met people who still have the ‘Kim Possible’ theme song as their ringtone.
The ‘Superman vs. Muhammad Ali’ book was printed in every free country in the world, OK? Now, it’s so good in its way that we can go in and make fun of it and feel good about it.
If you’re going to wake up early all the time, and you’re working hard, and you’re working out, sometimes you’re going to get tired. It’s OK. It’s acceptable – somewhat. We’re all human, unfortunately.
After I lost the first set, I was like, ‘OK, I need to get help because I can’t play this way.’
You can’t always tell if someone’s gay over Twitter, but when he’s talking to you about ‘Real Housewives,’ it’s probably OK to assume.
Every once in a while I get the highly inappropriate proposal which is like, ‘Wow, Really! You don’t even know me and I don’t know you at all, and you want that to happen? Tonight? Ok, I get off work at 7.30.’
I love that I can demonstrate that it’s OK to look and be strong.
OK, I floss, I brush my teeth, and I use mouth wash. Does that mean that I love it? That means that I, you know, like to look after my teeth!
Master storytellers like Jeffrey Archer and Arthur Hailey use simple language. But they manage to grab the attention of the readers right from page one. I’ll consider myself a good storyteller the day people believe it’s OK to be late for work or postpone deadlines just to finish reading my book.
Fastidious attention to detail makes the difference between an OK service and first class service.
Weight gain can happen at any point in time, and it is something that you are dealing with anyway, and it is OK. It is ridiculous to have this dictate your very being because I have always said that it is not the outside that defines who you are.
Yes, I do come with certain reservations, and I’m not OK with certain things, but rather than focusing on what I don’t want to do, I focus on what I do want to do, and I bring that energy, and that happens.
I used to come up with these crazy jobs to try and provoke my parents but they said, ‘You can be anything you want.’ So I was like, ‘I want to be a garbage man’ and they were like ‘That’s OK, we’ll still love you!’
