There is always anxiety before a competition and it was no different for me today. It was only in the third round, with about 40 targets left, that I realised I could match the world record score.
If you’re a pioneer and you come up with something that can change the world and you turn round and say ‘I’m not going to share this idea with anyone,’ then you only impact the few and not the many.
I’m usually bikini-ready all year round.
Louise Bonnet is a Los Angeles-based painter of round, fleshy, almost obscene shapes and people. But hers is a very clean, friendly cartoon world, so there’s this tension between harmlessness and perversion that is totally unsettling.
People tend to see modernism as the opposite of a celebration. They see it as a fracturing and an art built round an absence, but it’s really a celebration of our existence.
I’m 48 now and I would like to have another baby. I would love to because of all the things I have learned. It would be like starting all over again. But am I too old? I’m young at heart and I would be different this time round.
The Royal Family are not like you and me. They live in houses so big that you can walk round all day and never need to meet your spouse. The Queen and Prince Philip have never shared a bedroom in their lives. They don’t even have breakfast together.
People can’t get their heads round the idea of a species surviving; you know, they’re more concerned about how you treat a donkey in Sicily or something.
I thank you in advance for the great round of applause I’m about to get.
I’ll be honest – my buddies are always going round saying, ‘Put a shirt on. Jeez,’ but I grew up on the beach. I grew up surfing. I grew up outdoors. I’ve sort of always liked being shirtless.
I don’t know the venture fund terms. I don’t know what a seed round is. I want nothing to do with it.
I’ll go round the world looking for the best technology that can save lives and improve the lives of clinicians too. We need to be embracing it.
Welcome, wild harbinger of spring! To this small nook of earth; Feeling and fancy fondly cling, Round thoughts which owe their birth, To thee, and to the humble spot, Where chance has fixed thy lowly lot.
I lost in the second round of the French Open and had 10 days off. I went to the Hard Rock Cafe. It was exciting to be away from my parents, to stay in a hotel. Hotels at 17 meant freedom.
Even though Bandos is one of the biggest islands in the Maldives, it only takes 20 minutes to walk round. All it has are some chalets and a little harbour centre with three restaurants and a bar. The food is magnificent.
At times, we, as coaches, try to shove guys as square pegs into round holes and keep hammering away.
My agent and I usually have a steak-and-wine dinner on Wednesdays before tournaments. It’s a good source of protein for the night before, and it helps me sleep before the opening round.
There’s nothing nicer than getting a round of applause for turning up for work. It’s amazing! You start work, and people clap. Do you know what I mean? And then they stand up and clap at the end.
This whole business feels kind of intense, like a bad fit. Round peg, square hole. But whatever, I’ll take it.
But clearly, this is what this is about. It’s about pushing the security bubble out. It’s about rooting out every last guy, so that there’s not even somebody who can fire a single, solitary RPG round from some little qalat out here.
I don’t think I’m ever surprised at how high the quarterbacks go. There could be a lot of teams that often times don’t have a lot of first-round grades on guys that are going in the first round, and that’s just the nature of the business.
I didn’t know if I was going to be drafted, period. I remember sitting there and just praying that whatever God has for me to happen, and I didn’t get any calls from anybody else the whole round. And then I got a call from New England five hours after the draft started.
A young man, be his merit what it will, can never raise himself; but must, like the ivy round the oak, twine himself round some man of great power and interest.
When I came out of college, I wasn’t much of a weight room juggernaut. I was drafted in the 10th round out of the University of Idaho after literally begging teams to work me out.
I don’t live too far from my mum so I can go round for home-cooked meals and get my ironing done.
When I got the call of being drafted by the Devils, I was in shock more than anything. I didn’t have a clue where New Jersey was, but it was just nice to be taken in the first round and nice to know where my future would be, which organization I was going to be a part of.
I was foreign and Jewish, with a funny name, and was very small and hated sport, a real problem at an English prep school. So the way to get round it was to become the school joker, which I did quite effectively – I was always fooling around to make the people who would otherwise dump me in the loo laugh.
People are always going to say, ‘Who’s he beat? He’s only beat Cowboy.’ So what you’re trying to tell me is Cowboy is a nobody? Cowboy will be remembered as one of the greatest fighters of all time. And I beat him in one round.
I have little routines in the theater. Once I’ve established something, like the order of putting on makeup and a costume, I have to invariably do it in the same order every time, even if I only did it by chance the first time round.
That’s me. I can be me a bit at home, but I’m kind of like a square peg in a round hole.
I think he will probably come round in time, I mean to renew the subject pretty often.
The world rolls round forever like a mill; it grinds out death and life and good and ill; it has no purpose, heart or mind or will.
Freddie obviously knew he was ill long before we did. We knew there was something wrong, but we didn’t know what it was. He told us eventually. We didnt want to believe it was true. But we all stuck round him, formed a circle, and gave him support.
It was the nation and the race dwelling all round the globe that had the lion’s heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.
It was the middle of winter, Con Edison had shut off my power, and I didn’t have an agent. I made this VHS tape of some monologues, but I didn’t even have the money for a MetroCard. So I walked the tapes ’round to the different agencies in town.
You’re in a bathing suit pretty much all year round working for Victoria’s Secret. There’s so many shoots, and we’re always in lingerie, so you kinda always have to be prepared and ready.
However old-fashioned and right-wing this may sound, the American genius for language lies in understatement, in saying things simply, pointedly and quickly, and in making new and clean and swift what otherwise might be ponderous, round and slow.
By nature, I am someone who hews to the middle. I need to hear all sides of a story. Unless I am engaged in a tough round of dominoes or Scrabble, I think of myself as unreasonably reasonable.
If you’re a friend or a relative of George Herbert Walker Bush, Prez 41, or George W. Bush, Prez 43, or any other Bushes, then you know an 18-hole round of golf shouldn’t take more than three hours out of your day – there are other important things to do.
Being a fat kid – FFK, former fat kid – helped round me out, no pun intended. I’m a better adult because I wasn’t treated well as a child.
I like to give pennies to children, but unfortunately, a man cannot do these things if he lives in a small village or town where his face is known and seen every day. For children take advantage, as I know to my cost, and would gather round him like hens around a farmer when he scatters grain.
People think that athletes have it great, and we do in a lot of regard, but universities make a hell of a lot of money off of players. You don’t get a free education: you work full-time year round for five years for an education you could pay for three times over if you just got your market value.
I can be a bit extreme. I’ll spend too much time running round the park, doing yoga and drinking green tea. I can get a bit obsessive. I have to rein it in sometimes.
The important thing for me was that the World Cup should travel round the world.
Referendums are designed to get round parliamentary government, and people only demand referendums when they think they can’t get a majority in parliament. Mussolini was the most brilliant practitioner of referendums.
I couldn’t care less if I make a fourth-round U.S. Open or I lose first round. To me, everything is the same.
I’m very impatient. I am. That’s the bane of my game. I don’t think about what I’m going to do – I just go hit it, I don’t stop to wait and think. Costs me two shots a round.
I think, probably, my best asset would probably be my all round game.
As a boy, I’d always had an interest in theater. But the idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man. It wasn’t what one did for a living. I got over that.
A good essay must have this permanent quality about it; it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out.
When I tell my husband stories of how I’ve grown up, he can’t relate to it. I like it though, yeah, it’s a badge of honour. You’re from Up North, you’ve got to be a tiny bit rough round the edges. That’s the charm!
