Rather than have it the principal thing in my son’s mind, I would gladly have him think that the sun went round the earth, and that the stars were so many spangles set in the bright blue firmament.
When I was 16, I had a massive crush on our tennis coach and every time he came round to teach my brothers I used to sit outside and pretend to be reading something really intellectual.
I don’t want a lot of people nosing round my studio and bothering me. I don’t want to see them at all. Let the dealers have all that bother.
I am not the super-submission guy, I am not the one-punch KO guy, so I am not the most feared guy in the world. But I will not quit, I will not break and I will fight you like a dog for every second of every round.
When I was 18 I went to Australia for work and I remember an agent telling me I was too fat. I wasn’t fat, or heavy – or even skinny, I was just normal with a round face.
The world only goes round by misunderstanding.
My trainer don’t tell me nothing between rounds. I don’t allow him to. I fight the fight. All I want to know is did I win the round. It’s too late for advice.
During my first round of law school applications, I didn’t even apply to Yale, Harvard, or Stanford – the mystical ‘top three’ schools. I didn’t think I had a chance at those places. More important, I didn’t think it mattered; all lawyers get good jobs, I assumed.
I have a very round mound of rebound thing going on. I was a surprisingly good shooter, too. If I could have any job in sports, though, I’d want to be playing first base for the Yankees.
My whole career, I’ve been an underdog, I’ve been underestimated. Therefore, I’ve had a chip on my shoulder my entire career. Being drafted in the second round when you think you’re supposed to be in the first round, a lottery pick, the chip grows bigger. And you have more to prove.
I might lose nine or 11 rounds but who knows what’s going to happen in the 12th round?
I was just hoping I’d be drafted in the first round. So to be able to be the first receiver, that was a big pride thing. I can always say now that I was the first receiver taken in my class.
We’d have Mick Jagger round for tea one morning or Janet Jackson wandering in, but I wouldn’t have been aware of it. I didn’t have a clue who anyone was. They were just dad’s friends popping in.
I don’t need to be super-ripped all year round. That’s a pretty miserable way to live your life.
There was a year between school and getting going as an actor when I basically just watched films. Video shops were the new thing, and there was a good one round the corner and me and my brother just watched everything, from the horror to the European art-house.
A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.
Those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films with women at the center are niche experiences – they are not. Audiences want to see them and, in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.
I’d been round the world a hundred times and had started to forget where I’d been. I knew I’d been there: it said it on the tour map. I could remember the name of the city but I couldn’t remember what it was like – it was a massive blur.
Oh, ’tis love, ’tis love that makes the world go round.
I usually create sounds and have different generators running over it. You know you can open a word-file as a picture or the other way round. I do the same with sounds.
I don’t want to just go to the playoffs, I don’t want to go to the playoffs and win the first round, second round, and not win the whole thing because it’s bittersweet.
The variety of training is a major selling point of triathlon. Different sports, different venues means it’s always interesting, and you can always switch things round if the weather messes your plans up.
Skinniness is not your friend when you’re over 40. I’d like to gain a good 10 pounds, but I did always have a fat, round face that plagued me when I was young. When I started to make movies, I couldn’t look at myself.
There are some people who need to wear a label round their necks to show that they are Christians at all, or else we might mistake them for sinners, their actions are so like those of the ungodly.
Britain has nurtured me and made me able to make movies that have travelled round the world.
There’s no point in making predictions. It’s not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football. Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future.
Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it… Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.
I did want to lock each game up before Final Jeopardy, to avoid losing to a bad bounce in that round.
In its original version, the FTAA was meant to be a special carve-out for Washington and Wall Street as global ‘free trade’ advanced under the umbrella of the Doha round of the WTO.
I did a paper round as a kid, but the early mornings were too much. My dad took it over, so I was getting paid 15 quid a week, but he was doing it!
You don’t have to be a superhero and pull off shots you’ve never hit before. Your goal should be to put yourself in position to play as close to your regular game as possible. That’s what I did in the final round of the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie, when I was in the final pairing with Jordan Spieth.
With girls traveling all year round I wanted to create a swimwear collection that would work for any occasion in any destination.
In memory of Muhammad Ali I will be knocking out David Haye in one round.
I find it weird the way people get so excited about celebrity. If my friends are on the phone, their friends will say: ‘Is that kid from ‘Love Actually’ there?’ And the phone gets passed round and I have to speak to this stranger asking: ‘Are you famous?’ I don’t know how to answer.
I am in awe of women who have full family lives and seem to work round the clock in the 24/7 news cycle.
There were a lot of publishers that I loved, so the book went to auction. An auction is where you sit nervously by your phone and eat potato chips for two days waiting for your agent to text you numbers of the highest bid for each round. I ultimately went with Dervla Kelly at Rodale Books.
Round, cat-eye frames, wayfarers, and aviators are my go-tos.
I had little or no expectations coming in. I was thrilled when I was drafted in the first round because that meant I was going to be given a full year’s chance to make the team.
Without evidence, anything goes. Think about it. Common sense says the sun goes round the Earth. Who agrees with me?
