Ninety-five per cent of my time is virtually wasted.
I got a couple on per album but my problem was that I wanted to sing the songs and not let Roger sing them.
Past experience, on the shuttle and the Titan rockets, suggests that large multi-segment solid rockets have a probability of failure of 0.5 to 1 per cent.
You have to go 100 per cent and be confident in your body.
In ’05, ’06, ’07 and ’08, I wasn’t throwing any changeups at all. Maybe two or three per game. In ’09, I started playing with the grip, started throwing it in the bullpen and playing catch. It came out really good.
Where are the people who don’t have goals headed? Those 97 per cent end up working for the three percent.
It’s not so much religion per se, it’s false certainty that worries me, and religion just has more than its fair share of false certainty or dogmatism. I’m really concerned when I see people pretending to know things they clearly cannot know.
God gave me an actor’s role; I have done that well. God gave me now a political role, and I am 100 per cent sure I will perform that well.
In New York alone, there was an average of more than 300 campus fires per year between 1997 and 2000, with roughly 160 of them annually in dormitories.
I’ve seen so many people on Instagram lose all of their followers because they were doing constant collaborations. They were only getting paid $100 dollars per post. That doesn’t make any sense.
To tell you the truth, I never wanted to become a moviemaker. It was like I was a cinepihile, and I go, like, three or four times per week to the cinema, and I like to watch films.
Horseracing already has the highest mortality rate of any sport in the world per capita to the people who do it. If you crash in Nascar you still have a roll bar, and a cage, and a lot of protection. It’s built to crash, but if you fall off a racehorse we all know what can happen, so it’s tremendously dangerous.
I like to celebrate the holiday season – not so much in a religious way, per se, but in a unifying way.
You cannot always play at 100 per cent, especially at the end of the season when you don’t have much energy left.
We gave the show away and in return, we received a certain number of minutes per hour for the three-hour show that we could sell to Madison Avenue. One of the first sponsors was MGM Records.
From 1950 to 2000, the U.S. economy grew at an average rate of 3.5 percent. That generated a massive gain in real GDP per person from $16,000 to over $50,000. A huge win for the middle class.
There’s about one sword-swallower per 2 to 4 million persons in each country.
You’ve got to open on a Sunday, but at the end of the day, you’ve just lost a lot of money by opening on the Sunday, so it’s very, very difficult to make money when you’re paying unskilled people $42 per hour.
I don’t believe that Donald Trump is a racist, per se. But some of the things that he does, some of the rhetoric that he uses, attracts racists and that sets the tone. And of course, you are judged by the company you keep.
A chunk of seared albacore tuna, salted and peppered, then seared rare in a little oil in a hot skillet for just a minute or so per side, is the perfect addition to a savory plate of fried rice. Just slice the tuna across the grain and fan those mild, meaty slices over the top of the rice.
Usually, there are three or four major news spikes per year.
In a finite world this means that the per capita share of the world’s goods must steadily decrease.
The way you personally communicate is 90 per cent of how you will be evaluated by any future employer.
What’s so great about Sundance is that they only accept such a small handful of films per year for dramatic competition, so you know when you’re going to Sundance that you’re going to see top-quality projects.
Federal program and services outlay in Puerto Rico is approximately $10 billion per year.
In 2003 Scotland had 36 new business registrations per 10,000 adults. It’s still the same.
It’s difficult to really assess what I’ve done right per say, but if I did have to point out, I’d say that I never really looked to have goals that will limit me. When one knows where he is going to or wants to end up, he/she actually doesn’t realise that the goal is more limiting, than liberating.
If you’re going to support a football team, do it 100 per cent.
‘Heroine’ is about a declining and imbalanced superstar – a very brave and bold role. I wanted to test whether I could carry a role like this. I have given 200 per cent to this role. She’s a very complex character, very aggressive, manipulative and bold, yet she’s very fragile.
A feature film is twenty-four lies per second.
It’s important for me to work hard and give 100 per cent in training to try to improve.
‘Dance to the Music’ was just Sly Stone being his natural crazy self right from the beginning. The man was an original and his first AM hit was nothing if it wasn’t the example per excellence of the Sly Stone music machine.
Forty-eight frames per second is a way, way better way to look at 3D. It’s so much more comfortable on the eyes.
‘Pied Piper’ came to me all at once; I wanted to do a fairy-tale movie with some edge, but not ‘dark,’ per se.
It’s important for me to talk about my life as a gay man, not gay themes per se, in my work.
I never was a big believer that you can teach writing per se.
I had a 23 per cent blockage in my micro-arteries. At first the doctors thought I needed a heart transplant, then they said I have microvascular angina, which means I will be on medication for the rest of my life.
The freelance writer is a man who is paid per piece or per word or perhaps.
It costs $30,000 to $50,000 per year to send someone to jail. You don’t have to pay so much to send someone to school at Johns Hopkins.
If unemployment could be brought down to say 2 percent at the cost of an assured steady rate of inflation of 10 percent per year, or even 20 percent, this would be a good bargain.
There are less than 1 per cent of anorexic girls, but there more than 30 per cent of girls in France – I don’t know about England – that are much, much overweight. And it is much more dangerous and very bad for the health.
Avocados have a creamy texture, making them a healthier replacement for ingredients like butter and mayo in recipes, though they do contain a surprisingly large amount of fat – a whopping 30 grams per medium-sized avocado.
Action game players make more correct decisions per unit time. If you are a surgeon or you are in the middle of a battlefield, that can make all the difference.
When Attenborough asked me to do Gandhi it was almost like stepping off one boat and stepping on to another, even though both boats are going at 60 miles per hour.
I think because my life is so insane and it’s constantly going at 120 miles per hour, my favorite thing to do is sit at home in front of the TV and check out.
People gave us everything for free. We were allowed only so much film per picture, but there was no limit to the creativity. I like to say that they let us loose like wild dogs in the streets of Paris.
My pride at wearing the Irish shirt was always 100 per cent genuine. It was a great honour for myself and my family and something I will always cherish.
It’s not easy to play, and I give every day 100 per cent to do my best and help the team.
While Google has given away pretty much everything it has to offer – from search and maps to email and apps – this has always been part of its greater revenue model: the pennies per placement it gets for seeding the entire Google universe of search and services with ever more targeted advertising.
We all know that China is industrializing at a growth rate of 8 to 10 percent per year. China is on track to pass the U.S. as the largest economy in the world in 20 to 25 years, and China is determined to give its people a chance at this high standard of living that we enjoy.
We want to allow Costa Ricans to make a qualitative leap in our development and go to an economy based on innovation and developing a broadband infrastructure in order to overcome the barrier of 15 per cent penetration.
There are many people who think we had the first-mover advantage. But actually, when Uber came to India, Ola was doing only 2,000 rides per day . We had less than half a million dollars of funding.
Only 38 per cent of players in the Premier League are English; that is a damning statistic. Soon, the England manager will have to go scouting for players in the Championship – and when I say ‘soon’ I mean the next four or five years, perhaps even for the next World Cup.
Nobody’s feeling, after 10 days of playing every day, 100 per cent ready or fit.
The way to connect with voters on the plan is to simply give the facts. Fifty per cent of taxpayers pay 97 per cent of the taxes. By most people’s standards, that’s already fair. The President is playing the class warfare card because he knows that a lot of people may never hear that particular fact. But it’s a fact.
I meet so many that think population growth is a major problem in regard to climate change. But the number of children born per year in the world has stopped growing since 1990. The total number of children below 15 years of age in the world are now relatively stable around 2 billion.
