I didn’t realise until I did CBT that I was a perfectionist. Whenever you do anything, there are always going to be things that go wrong, it’s never going to be 100 per cent perfect. Because of how I was, I’d focus on those bits and always see the negative in anything.
An estimated 9,000 American citizens are killed every year by illegal aliens. That’s 25 American citizens per day killed by illegal aliens, averaging 12 by stabbings and shootings and 13 by DUI and related crimes.
I read the ‘Deadpool’ series back in the ’90s. I’m not, like, a huge comic book reader, per say, though. I’ll check out ‘Archie’ when I’m in the grocery line, but that’s about it.
The al-Aqsa compound is occupied territory that, as per the status quo, is administered by the King of Jordan and the Muslim Waqf.
Most of the suicide hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, a place not lacking in wealth. But due to rapid population growth, the wealth per capita has fallen by about half in a generation.
If you’re on a contract at ‘The New Yorker,’ the contract specifies the number of words you will publish in the magazine per year. I get paid by the word, like most writers. That’s one reason why the Scientology article was 25,000 words long!
It’s really corny to say, but if you are happily married and have good kids, that is about 98 per cent of what you should be seeking to achieve.
Well, let’s assume the world is linear. If we required a certain amount of troops per 25,000 population in the Balkans, if the world is not radically different, something of the same extent is going to be needed in Iraq.
For ninety per cent of those who view him from outside, the Christian God looks like a great landowner administering his estates, the world. Now this conventional picture, which is too well justified by appearances, corresponds in no way to the dogmatic basis or point of view of the Gospels.
You should always play 100 per cent, and you shouldn’t expect every decision from the referee.
Falling in love is awesome, but I’m never drawn to happy songs per se, so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you’re happily in love, it’s like, ‘OK, now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.’
If you go around Colombia or Latin America, without doubt you will find that 80 per cent of the time, you’re discussing the past and only 20 per cent about the future.
You’re always aware that only eight per cent of actors are in work at one time, so you’ve got to be thankful for the job you’ve got and do the best you can.
My mum always told me 95 per cent of success was partnering well.
I don’t let people talk bad about Rick Ross around me. Like, you can’t do it. He owns – I’ve heard a legend – 30 Wing Stops in the areas he grew up near. You can never say anything about him. If that represents ten jobs per place, that’s 310 jobs provided.
Producing albums is 100 per cent where I would love to be, later in my career.
For a developing country, average long-run growth of 5 percent a year per capita is excellent, and 7 percent is stellar.
I don’t do nervous, really. You always have to respect your opponent, respect the game of football, and be 100 per cent focused.
Ninety per cent of being a parent is just being present and available.
The 2012 superstorm known as Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc beyond the Eastern Seaboard and reached Northeast Ohio as well, with heavy rain, wind gusts of nearly 70 miles per hour and waves on Lake Erie reaching 15 to 18 feet.
Profit per se is not my motive.
My guilty pleasure is vanilla cupcakes! I love cupcakes! I love cupcakes. When it’s really bad, it’s 12 per day. I’ve fallen asleep with cupcake in my mouth, like, frosting all over my mouth. More than – several times.
Between 1939 and 1945 you produced weapons and war equipment valued at thirteen billion dollars, 70 per cent of which you shipped to your allies. The same process is going on today in Canada’s much larger and growing industry.
Auditioning for a couple of years, 99 per cent of the time you are doing an American accent.
Less than fifteen per cent of the people do any original thinking on any subject. The greatest torture in the world for most people is to think.
I’m just going to give my all every game, be a good box-to-box midfielder, hopefully score some goals, and I will always give it 100 per cent.
You can only do so much in the gym or pool. Seventy per cent of it is physical, but the final 30 per cent is down to the mental capacity to actually control what you can do in competition.
Each pineapple plant produces only one fruit per year. It can take up to two years for the pineapple to ripen, and it’s important to wait, because once it’s picked, it can’t ripen any further. The unripe pineapple is not only horrible tasting but poisonous.
The dirty little secret of foreign correspondents is that 90 per cent of it is showing up. If you can find a way to get there, the story, the reporting, it’s the easiest you’ll ever do. ‘Cause the drama’s everywhere.
Should 50 per cent of Telefilm’s projects be helmed, produced, or written by women? I think so.
Carpe per diem – seize the check.
United fans don’t care if the team only has 40 per cent possession as long as they are watching an attacking team. My experience was that the supporters understood that even our best teams, even the teams with Peter Schmeichel or Edwin van der Sar in goal, were going to concede goals.
I wouldn’t say I’m a fan of Tarantino, per se, but I like several of his movies very much, probably ‘Reservoir Dogs’ the most of them.
I try to keep the number of projects I’m involved in down to one per year.
If a Middle Eastern sheikh comes to buy Bayern Munich, he could buy 49 per cent. Fifty-one per cent must stay in Germany with the club. That law came about because of the developments of international football.
I buy vintage – mainly Alaia and some Westwood – but 90 per cent of the time, I wear my own designs.
India is the most competitive manufacturing destination on this planet. If we are able to take advantage of that competitiveness for our domestic markets, this country would be humming with activity; industrial production will grow at 10-11% per year.
The Asian nation’s oil demand is expected to grow this year by 800,000 barrels per day and represents more than one-third of the total growth in global demand, according to the Energy Information Agency.
Shipping is the greenest method of transport. In terms of carbon emissions per ton per mile, it emits about a thousandth of aviation and about a tenth of trucking. But it’s not benign, because there’s so much of it. So shipping emissions are about three to four percent, almost the same as aviation’s.
The industrialization of China alone would increase by 90 percent the concentration of CO2 in our atmosphere and would at least increase the atmospheric CO2 by at least another 100 parts per million.
We need to feminise history because we are 50 per cent of the population, and our story is just as interesting.
There are no military options for Iran. Attack them, and they will destroy the Gulf States oil industries, rain hundreds of missiles onto Israel, close the Arabian Gulf, and shoot oil prices to $300 per barrel, which could cause our own economic downfall.
Sometimes casting falls in place easily and sometimes it takes a while. Fifty per cent of my job is done when I get the right actors.
Well, I haven’t been doing that much work with other people per se. I started doing more of that.
I spoke with Van Gaal, and he said that I only had a one per cent chance of playing in my position, so I headed to Bayer.
I don’t necessarily love the sports per se, I love the stories behind them. Also in a kind of perverse way I like to study what it does to us, why we care so much. It’s caring about something that’s utterly meaningless.
Only two to three per cent of an audience is interested in words and pays attention to lyrics; most of the rest of it is about image or the beat or the sound, or else it’s a tribal thing – country & western, rap, heavy metal, with historical folk rock off in some kind of cult.
Environmental problems cannot be resolved here the way they are resolved in other countries. I heard that 80 per cent of the environmental problems in the U.S. are solved in court. That can’t happen here.
If you’re a New Yorker, there are two things that are most important: a car and a washer and dryer. Literally everyone else in America has those things! It’s so weird to them that these are our luxuries. You can eat at Per Se every night, but I don’t have a car or washer and dryer!
Of the 22 industrialized nations of the world, we’re dead last in per capita giving to poor people.
Ski jumping is just 10 per cent physical, 90 per cent mental. Some people can’t do that. It’s not just to do with the fear at the top. It takes a lot of guts to go off the top, but it takes 100 times more courage to jump off the end.
Mikheil Saakashvili can claim that 80 per cent of Georgians wanted to join NATO; on the other hand, a similar percentage of Russians would almost certainly support Putin’s quest for a strong Russia. We would mistake this mood at our peril.
One thing I learn – I’ve been in practice now for half a century or more, and the most important ingredient for an architect to do a good building is to have a good client. I think a client counts for as much as fifty per cent.
