I’ve been blessed enough to be on a great team, gone to the divisional round five years in a row or whatever it was. That’s special. Not everybody gets an opportunity to do that.
I was really tired of words like ‘plus size,’ ’round’ and ‘large.’ I thought, ‘Come on, we’re fat.’
A man walks on through life – with the external call ringing in his ears but with no response stirring in his heart, and then suddenly, without any warning, the Spirit taps him on the shoulder. What happens? He turns ’round. The word ‘repentance’ means ‘turning ’round.’ He repents and believes and is saved.
In every fight, I have a spot that I could lose the first round. When do the oddsmakers ever like me? But it’s not a math equation, it’s a fight.
My dedication to my music has driven everyone away. I’ve had girlfriends, but I always end up on my own. I don’t particularly like it, but I don’t see a way ’round it.
I have a deep, deep belief that if I tell you I’m going to crack you with a clean shot to the chin inside one minute of the first round and you will be unconscious, well, then that’s what will happen.
People talk about the drama of the set that goes on and on. But it leaves one guy exhausted for the next round, it’s horrible for the players waiting to come on court, and it has the potential to mess up the schedule for everyone.
I like to accessorise shirts with a little ribbon tied round my collar or a country style ascot. I’ve also sewed little hearts on some of my sleeves which I’ve done for years because I always wear my heart on my sleeve so if you see a little embroidered heart on my clothes, that’s why!
I’m the happiest at home when I get a visit from my daughter-in-law, BC Jean, and Mark Ballas, my son. They’ll pop round for breakfast or I’ll attempt to cook them a meal. That’s the most special time for me.
I can’t understand these chaps who go round American universities explaining how they write poems: It’s like going round explaining how you sleep with your wife.
I mean, I could just go round and use session musicians for every song, but I don’t find that helps when it comes to setting up a band for live. Derrick has been with me for donkey’s years.
The Goth character was a difficult thing to get my head round. I’m not really a fan of Goth music. I’m more a piano and guitar man – that’s what I love.
I tried to get us what I thought was the equivalent of a Romo with Quincy Carter in the third round.
Smartphones are so fabulous in so many ways that it seems daft to be nostalgic about the days when an image did not go round the world in a nanosecond.
I personally love mini bouquets randomly throughout my bathroom and my dressing room. I’ll put a small bouquet on a dresser or on a round marble table in my bathroom next to the sink.
When I was running ’round in America, about 30 years old, I didn’t want no woman. I knowed I could make enough money to take care of myself, but I didn’t want nobody to take care of.
Brows that are too round tend to elongate the face making eyes look droopy and tired.
We had poverty in our house. Even on the council estate I knew I was one of the poorer kids. I used to go round my friends houses on a Sunday to get their Sunday dinner because my mum couldn’t cook either so I used to love going round my mates and say: ‘Can you ask your Mum if I can come in for Sunday dinner?’
The mother-in-law came round last week. It was absolutely pouring down. So I opened the door and I saw her there and I said, ‘Mother, don’t just stand there in the rain. Go home.’
We lived in so many flats, and the more people you could get, the cheaper the flat was. Someone was always sleeping in the living room, and you’re always slightly hiding them when the landlord came round.
My great forte in killing buffaloes was to get them circling by riding my horse at the head of the herd and shooting their leaders. Thus the brutes behind were crowded to the left, so that they were soon going round and round.
Now he must not go the wrong way round the circuit, and unless he can spin himself stationary through 360 degrees I fail to see how he can avoid doing so.
I remember going round to my friends’ houses and asking them to ask their mum and dad if I could stay for dinner because I wasn’t going to get fed.
I’ve never been able to sit round on my own and play drums, practice in the back room, never been able to. I’ve always played with other musicians. It’s how I play, there’s no joy for me in playing on my own, bashing away. I need a bass, a piano, guitar, whatever, and then I can play.
I didn’t know much about the East End and I didn’t go trudging round to research it – couldn’t be bothered with all that – but my grandmother was a cockney so I used her voice for Dot. I don’t think it sounded very real at the beginning.
Roman military tactics were much over-rated. All the clever ones had the same idea, which was to go round the back.
While studying art and design at Central Saint Martins, I went round supermarkets taking photos of shoppers and their baskets: the game was to match people with their food. For an architectural project, I made a scale model of a shop out of gingerbread rather than foam and added icing and sweets very colourfully.
I would like you all to give me a round of applause as I have not crashed my car in over 15 months.
I had a nice, pert nose but a plain round face and a mop of curly brown hair. That was not the photograph of a successful model.
I think getting people’s focus, getting people’s attention on anything has never been harder, because the media has done everything in its power to try and dissolve people’s attention, shift it round absolutely all the time.
I believe that every single game in the Playoffs, round 1 to Eastern Conference Finals, every single game is a different game.
You know, you try to be diverse, and try to have fun and round things out.
As tired as I am, I can always go another round, and I feel the other guy can’t.
Training full-on year round is great, and I love to stay in shape and always being ready, but I feel sometimes I don’t have a life.
‘Top Chef’ is always entertaining – it’s hard to stop watching, like a good hockey fight, but no one gets hurt. It’s great that the format is so inherently dramatic and can make cooking so entertaining to people who might not ordinarily be interested in a cooking show. Good for the industry all round.
I always found it strange, when I went round to other people’s houses for tea and that, how strict their parents were.
You never came home for lunch: you just stayed doing, playing, having fun, surfing, running round.
The men and women cut their hair close round to the ears and eyes. The women, after the manner of the Parthians, cover their heads with a large white veil, folded together in the form of a crown.
The P2 is the best car I have driven so far. Once you get your head round it, it’s fun to drive, it’s responsive, it does what you ask but you have to treat it with respect or it will bite you.
The BBC is a brilliant, infuriating, delightful cornerstone of our culture but it drives me round the twist. I will never forgive them for selling off BBC Centre. It’s probably the best studio facility in Europe, possibly the world, and it’s being sold off for flats and a luxury hotel.
The musical era depicted in ‘Round and Round’ may not be pop’s brightest moment, but rather than abandon its ideas, Ariel Pink reclaims them for himself and holds on tight.
Cleveland was the only visit I made. I had a good feeling they were going to draft me, but I was still shocked when they jumped up to the second round.
I want to spend as much time as I can with my kids, but I know the opportunities in athletics don’t often come round, so I’ve just got to make the most of it.
I train to fight five rounds, but if we can end the fight in the first round, it’s even better.
I just was in the second round. That’s painful, because always is tough to lose, but well, that’s sport. You win, you lose.
So from that first loan at Barnsley, I thought I needed to get into the gym and get a bit stronger. I realised I can’t just be trying to play round people. You have to get stuck in in those leagues.
I have the sort of round face that you complain about when you’re younger, but which serves you well as you get older.
I’ve always believed that it’s the film that chooses the actor and not the other way round.
My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down – but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let’s all have another round.
I was pretty darn lucky to be selected by the Steelers. A round earlier or later in the draft and I might have been with a team that didn’t make it to the Super Bowl.
I still don’t know what the ‘ideal’ woman is. Waifs will always be in demand because it’s a lot easier to design for straight up and down rather than round curves. This is the reality, unfortunately.
Love doesn’t make the world go ’round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
My siblings and I had to earn our own pocket money so from the age of about 10 I had a job. I did a paper round, helped with the farmer’s delivery at the weekend, cut hedges for neighbours and worked on a market stall. Then I’d go and buy a record with my hard-won money.
I eat healthy year round.
You see it with Brexit, you see it in Donald Trump’s election, you see it with the fact that neither of the main parties ended up in the final round of the French presidential election, you see it with the Italian referendum being defeated, you see it in a lot of ways – the political revolution.
