I know a bit about selling books, and you need a good title – a catchy concoction with a little Cajun spice, something that will make folks stop in the aisles, turn away from the Grisham novels and the latest crazy diet fad, and pick up your masterpiece.
I will take ownership of the nutmeg. My uncle Okocha has got the skills but the nutmeg, the prince title they call me for that, I will say it is my ownership. It happens instinctively, sometimes the easiest way of getting past my opponent.
It’s great to be able to do shows like ‘Falling in Love with the Girl Next Door,’ which I think is entirely too long of a title.
I don’t remember titles of books or authors from when I was young. I remember the title of only one book, which was ‘The Timber Toes.’ I remember it was a family of little wooden people who lived in the woods, and for some reason that stayed with me.
My whole time on the main roster was me being a stoic bodyguard, and I was still pretty stoic during the Intercontinental Title run. A lot of the promos didn’t feel like me, and I didn’t feel like I was captivating any attention.
I refrained from writing another one, thinking to myself: Never mind, I will prove that I am able to become a greater scientist than some of you, even without the title of doctor.
There was a mission: To match the cover of ‘Extraordinary’ to the cover of the paperback ‘Impossible,’ which was commercially successful. Consider the outdoor natural setting, the single girl in motion with her hair blowing, and the cursive font used for the title; both covers have these in common.
Some of the fans here were not too sure about their club signing a player from their biggest rivals. Fortunately, we had a great season and won the League title for the first time in four years. Now, I think, everyone can say it was good business.
There was a film called ‘FM,’ and we were asked to do the title song. And I said, ‘Does it have to have any specific words?’ And they said, ‘No, it just has to be about FM radio.’ It took a day or two to write.
I’m fighting for the Commonwealth title on Saturday and I believe I’ll be ready for a world title shot in the next 18 months.
If I want to fight for a 155-pound title – if I hold the 145-pound title – give me the fight.
I went from being a junior – and probably set to be Kushida’s arch-nemesis until the cows came home – to suddenly being vaulted into the heavyweight title picture for the Intercontinental championship. That taught me a lesson: I couldn’t put a limit on myself.
‘Reno 911: Miami!’ is a terrible, terrible title, and all the reviews – good and mostly bad – nobody pointed out how stupid a title that was. But you can hardly come up with a sentence that’s more awkward.
Many people told me not to call the book ‘… Refugee’ because Aussies won’t buy it. I told them I have faith in Aussies, and it makes me a proud Aussie to see that the title hasn’t hurt the book.
‘Parenthood’ is a story about people’s lives – the title helps. Very early on during the show’s launch, the title was something familiar for the audience. It grabbed people’s interest.
My aim has always been to win the Miss World title.
When you win the title, you have a great few days, and then it’s gone; you’re already looking forward to the next season.
The frontiers of a book are never clear-cut: beyond the title, the first lines, and the last full stop, beyond its internal configuration and its autonomous form, it is caught up in a system of references to other books, other texts, other sentences: it is a node within a network.
I became the first Brazilian women to win a UFC title. That is huge.
There’s no point in fighting guys when there’s no structure, there’s no rhyme or reason to who gets the title shot.
Once people put that title on me as one of the better shooters, I just wanted to be the best shooter. That’s what I feel like I was out to prove.
For a long time I thought I was a poet, but that’s a high title to claim.
You never get time at Working Title, sadly, to enjoy any film’s success, because you’re worrying about the next lot.
‘Dynasty’ is such an appealing title in and of itself, not even knowing about the original series. It’s a word that evokes power and legacy and a certain level of epic-ness.
There’s so many levels. You can rise on the day to win a national event or a world title but the level you need to rise to win an Olympics Games is another one altogether.
They said if I’d fight a ranked contender, I’d get a title shot. I did that, and the next day they changed the rules.
I promised each and every Hulkamaniac when I went to that great battlefield in the sky I would bring the WWF title with me.
The title always comes last. What I really work hard on is the beginning. Where do you begin? In what tone do you begin? I almost have to have a scene in my mind.
Yeah, the record for most titles was previously held by the Fabulous Moolah, she won it four times. And a few weeks ago, I won the title for the sixth time, which has never been done before.
I’m like the king of the low-budget sequel. People ask, ‘What film are you gonna do next?’ ‘I don’t know, but it’s probably got a 3 or 4 in the title.’
Ever since I was really really little, I was just singing all the time. Like one of my favorite games when I was little would be to just have one of my sisters pick a title, and I would impromptu create that song.
You get one chance to do something about native title. You get perhaps one chance in your life to do something about a republic. You get one chance, your chance, to build a piece of the political architecture in the Pacific. I wasn’t going to give those up.
After I won but then lost my world title I ended up with no money. Then my dad died in prison.
When I arrived at Chelsea, I was at Leicester and I had just won my first title with a club.
A title means marketing. It means that company’s coming soon, and you’d better get out the Christmas lights so they don’t miss your house.
We are driven to win a title. We want to see that day when everyone celebrates because we finally brought a title home to Northeast Ohio. It’s what we want, what LeBron wants, what all of us want.
The title of my book is ‘American Histories,’ plural. And as far as I’m concerned, my reading of history is it is a sort of nightmare. It is a sort of nightmare, and I’m trying to wake up from it. And as any nightmare, it’s full of much that is unspeakable.
I want to play for a club that fights to win the Champions League title.
Of my own career, I have many happy memories, but perhaps it – the 2010/11 season, where United broke the record for number of title wins – was the best. I was very satisfied with my performance that year.
I won the world title in K-1 as a nobody.
I don’t know if I will take the UFC title, but I will die trying.
In the 1950s, when I was hanging around Sullivan’s Gym and the Gramercy Gym, there were fixed fights. Mob guys like Frankie Carbo and Blinky Palermo had taken over the sport; one lightweight champion loaned his title to others at least twice; the welterweight division was a slag heap.
I am no genius; I just worked hard like my other teammates, and I believe all my teammates can win the title as they work hard, too.
The director is planning on titling the film ‘Yummy Fur’ so we are probably planning on changing the title of the book to ‘Yummy Fur’ to match the film.
If you are hoping for a Champions’ League final or winning a title, it’s the same. You are working for a result.
I have been waiting to win a world championship since 1985. I’ve had three cracks at a world title – in karting, I finished third at Le Mans; that hurt because it was very close, but then in Formula One there wasn’t really an opportunity to finally crack it, so it’s third time lucky.
In 1970, my label decided I should do a Christmas album and I put a bunch of tunes together. We couldn’t decide what to call it and so I said ‘Why not just say Merry Christmas in Spanish? Feliz Navidad.’ They said, ‘That’s cool, Jose, but we need a title song.’ So I just sat down and started to play.
We don’t have to think up a title till we get the doggone book written.
I used to listen to a lot of music in my studio – all the time. But as far as the music that interplays with my work, what I’ve done and still do is keep a lyric book and song title. The material typically comes from Eartha Kitt, Betty Davis, Donna Summer, Whitney Houston.
It’s not easy when you were so close to win the title and you lost it.
Winning a beauty pageant and the Miss India title was always a dream.
I waited all those years for a title shot, and when I finally got it, I had to pay $20,000 for the opportunity. My purse was only $18,000. So to make money, I had to bet $10,000 on myself at 8-5. That was how it was in those days.
I want to win a world title for sure. When I’m a little bit older, I’ll have a lot of time to free-surf in my life. So I would love to win a world title.
Science is a victim of its own reductive metaphors: ‘Big Bang,’ ‘selfish gene’ and so on. Richard Dawkins’ selfish gene fitted with the Thatcherite politics of the time. It should actually be the ‘altruistic gene,’ but he’d never have sold as many books with a title like that.
I want to fight Khabib. I think I’m one of the biggest threats to his title.
