When you see your father playing in the first division, and you see players like Ronaldo with the crowd singing their names, you want that.
Luck is in every part of China. Many Chinese stores and restaurants have the word ‘luck’ in their names. The idea is that, just by using the word ‘luck’ in names of things, you can attract more of it. I think that’s true in my life as well. You attract luck because you go after it.
Doc has been my name all my life, and John is my middle name. I’m proud of all my names – Malcolm John Michael Creaux Rebennack. I’m proud of them names.
Rich kids gave us their old clothes. They were the best clothes we ever had. We were these very pure, naive, poor children. The rich kids called us a lot of names but it never bothered us because we didn’t know what the words meant.
When I prepare for a game the names are not really important to me.
Only the emerging specialty of psychoanalysis seemed to understand that mental maladies are not fully analogous to physical disease. They resist classification, and might better be known by their symptoms and the individualized sufferings of patients than by assigned names.
I think a lot of politicians, rightfully so, understand that their political futures are tied to how many times people see their names in print. The press is so accustomed to politicians wanting those things, it’s a surprise when somebody’s like, ‘Whatever, I’m not really worried about those things.’
There were moments where I was called many derogatory names. I’ve gotten into a couple of fights. People have jumped me. You know, I’ve had a lot of things that have happened to me, but I look past those things now.
It’s easy to set a story anywhere if you get a good guidebook and get some basic street names, and some descriptions, but, for me, yes, I am indebted to my travels to India for several of the stories.
Getting to know God by His names is more than simply learning a new word or discovering a new title He goes by. Learning to know God by His names opens up the door to knowing His character more fully and experiencing His power more deeply.
‘Crime Story’ was where I learned that I needed to get to know every crew member: what they did and what their names were and who their families were and whatever things they would give me.
Without naming names, I think other movies look more realistic but they feel less real.
When anyone talks about lucha libre and that style of wrestling, the first person they think of is Mil Mascaras. The other man the true wrestling fan will think of is El Santo. These were the names that came to me when I was growing up.
Brand names aren’t important to me at all.
I called all adults by their first names, and my mum was just another adult. I was the firstborn of my generation in the family, but because I was so close to my parents in age, they treated me with a kind of adult respect. They talked to me as an equal.
I’ve been through a lot, and I’ve been called a lot of names.
Way back in my mid-20s, I started making notes. I would just jot things down: lists of street names, songs, peculiar turns of speech, jokes, whatever.
Further, a document names and identifies the actual Red Light Bandits (plural), because in fact there are two.
I’ve worked with Nails Inc. for years, and it’s been a joy. I love their products. I have two baskets of Nails Inc. polishes upside down to read the names, colour coded.
I believe I am world class and it is only a matter of time before I am up there with the big names. I am a man on a mission and not going to be stopped.
Yes, Charles Yu names his main character after himself. That main character, in fact, is both time-machine repairman and author of a book called ‘How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe.’
The growth of markets in the region also provides opportunities for home-grown entities – whether established brand names like DBS, Singtel and Keppel Corporation, or SMEs – to establish and grow their presence in the region.
However weak we are, however poor, however little our faith, or however small our grace may be, our names are still written on His heart; nor shall we lose our share in Jesus’ love.
As I get older, I have a very strong urge to know about stuff. I want to learn the names of trees and birds; that’s the sort of knowledge I want to pass on to my son.
I handed over names and compromised so many CIA agents in the Soviet Union.
When chefs like Wolfgang Puck became household names, that became a compelling reason for an intelligent young person to go into the cooking profession. There have been no waiters who have turned into household names. The service and hospitality aspects have clearly lagged behind the kitchen.
It is a nice feeling when the audience reaches out to me by my character names from the films that I have done.
A lot of people don’t understand my reasoning behind wanting to fight big fights and big names. Knocking off these big names in fights really solidifies me as the best welterweight that’s ever done it.
When we started Appaloosa, we were going to name it Pegasus because everyone was using Greek names. We filed the name. We paid $300, and they said you cannot use it because it is taken. Pegasus Funds. Then we said Pegasus is kind of a horse. We did not want to be the Unicorn Fund. So we pulled out a horse book.
I thoroughly enjoy my children’s birthdays, despite the fact their parties are an apocalyptic mix of hall-booking, Nerf-gun-hiring, refreshment-organising and talking to parents whose names you’ve forgotten.
Were I more conversant with literature and its great names, I could go on quoting them ad infinitum and acknowledge my debt for the merit you have been generous enough to find in my work.
My favorite thing to do is rip the covers off a script when reading for writers to hire and make everybody read without names on the covers of the script. I can’t tell you how many times my writers, women and men, will pick people of color and women much more often than they would with a cover on the script.
If you were to ask me to pick my favourite author, well, there are so many of them, I’d really just have to say the first names that came to mind, and I’m sure that I’ll later think ‘Oh, I should have mentioned that one.’
I knew off by heart the names of the Real Madrid team that played Liverpool in the European Cup final of 1981.
We should not look at terrorism from the nameplates – which group they belong to, what is their geographical location, who are the victims. These individual groups or names will keep changing. Today you are looking at the Taliban or ISIS; tomorrow you might be looking at another name.
We step up and fight the top names that nobody wants to fight. So if I hear people saying, ‘oh, you’re ducking this or ducking that,’ no I haven’t ducked anybody.
I personally cannot tell you how many times we rescuers put our names on animals to come to us as soon as they are eligible for release, only to find they have been senselessly killed by overzealous pound workers.
I think names and suits are funny. Normal names in insane situations and dumb suits are funny.
I don’t own any of these names. I don’t own Johnny World, Johnny Mundo, John Morrison, Johnny Nitro, Johnny Blaze or Johnny Impact. None of it.
I made the first Feist album in ’98. So at that point, it was my nickname. It was as far as with my circle of friends, and just felt more accurate than two names.
Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans – these people are giants, legends; their names are household words. Of course, so’s Jell-O.
A memoir is not an autobiography. It’s a true story told as a novel, using techniques of novelization. The author is allowed to compress events, combine characters, change names, change the sequence of events, just as if he’s writing a novel. But it’s got to be true.
I love when I go to conventions, and often it’ll be the younger kids who will refer to us by our character names – how can you not find that absolutely charming? I remember when I used to go to conventions when I was a kid when I would stand in long lines to get people’s autograph.
When I was writing about Gotham in ‘Broken City,’ I was writing about Chicago. I just substituted the names.
There have been some terrific player’s names being bandied around that I am being compared to and that is great. I am just able, touch wood, to take it in my stride. That’s how I am. I am not embarrassed or pressurised by it. It is just great and I want to do as well as they did.
They have all different names for music. I think the music I’m going to change the style with is going to be really, really big-years and years after I’m gone.
Even with the lowest budget in the world, you better get some names in there; that calms people down. Then be sure your leading character is in a hurry.
Edible names are what drives me as a musician. My next band will be called the Hot Dogs.
107 caps isn’t bad for someone who isn’t ‘a top, top player’, is it? I never expected to get that amount of caps. When I made my debut, I set myself the personal target of trying to get 50 caps and score 10 goals if I could. So to have 107 is something I am really proud of, particularly being among those names.
I must have worked with over 100 actors, but I think there are four to five names I count on my fingers and say they are my friends.
Well, if I am not vulgar, neither is my book. I wrote myself. Suggestiveness is always vulgar. But truth never. My book is not even remotely suggestive. I call things by their names. That is all.
