Here’s what I tell people now when they come to my shows: ‘First of all, thank you for stimulating the economy, or at least my economic package.’
You know, I never looked down the road and said, ‘Hey look, one day, the Hall of Fame.’ It’s always about playing each and every game 100 percent and I thank my teammates for getting me into the Hall because football is a team sport, not an individual sport.
I thank God that I left office the same way I came in: with integrity.
Humans love truth and justice, and rejoice in ceremonies that honor those qualities. For that sentiment we should indeed thank God.
My mom passed away at 41 from diabetes. And I’m 42, thank you. I didn’t want to do that to my son. So any time I was at the gym, that thing that helped me do that last squat was my son calling some other woman mommy. And that would just give me that extra oomph to do that last squat. I want to be around for him.
You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.
I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to come and witness my hanging.
Without your health, you’ve got nothing going on. I thank God every day for good health.
The Vietnamese have a secret weapon. It’s their willingness to die beyond our willingness to kill. In effect, they’ve been saying, You can kill us, but you’ll have to kill a lot of us; you may have to kill all of us. And, thank heaven, we are not yet ready to do that.
I still have a pretty lively audience in German and across Europe. And I continue to say, ‘Thank you, God,’ for making me smart enough to avoid getting hit by trucks and going out and finding myself an audience abroad. Which includes Asia – from Jakarta to Japan. Working hard at finding an audience abroad.
I’m not interested in gigs unless I really want to do them. I walked away from music in 1997, and then there was a greatest hits in 2002. Thank God, it didn’t do too well because the record company wouldn’t promote it.
I listen to the people. That was a big reason for my life, maybe the main reason, I’m singing because I love it when people say to me, ‘Thank you.’ I thank them. It’s a marriage.
You look at success and thank God and the fans for the success. It’s why I always feel indebted to the fans.
I thank the Lord for the great principle of repentance and forgiveness.
My greatest influence is Jimi Hendrix, and if he’s been reincarnated, or if he’s looking down, sideways, or looking up, I just wanted to tell him that I love him and thank him for opening doors for me. I just wanted to make it beautiful for him.
When I make a film – I direct my own film, I write my own script – that’s what I want to hear from the audience. ‘Oh, thank you, Jackie!’
It’s appropriate to celebrate public service, and the thoughtful people who choose to serve. They symbolize what is good and decent about this historic citizen legislature, and we thank them.
It’s fun being a princess, but it’s not very practical! You’re trudging through the forest and the mud and all of the elements. You kind of think, ‘How did they do this back then?’ Thank God I can put on my Nike trainers and walk around the rest of the day!
America has been hit by Allah at its most vulnerable point, destroying, thank God, its most prestigious buildings.
Thank God for being a writer, because you do sort of find out what you think by the process of writing.
I love romantic comedies. They’re for me the easiest thing to do and the most natural to do. There’s nothing natural about holding an uzi hanging out of a moving van shooting at people. That’s not second nature to me, thank God.
I actually thank God for television… it’s not technology, it’s storytelling. Technology is saying, ‘Do less, do less, do less.’ And I don’t think it’s healthy, no.
Thank God for our form of government. The media won’t let there be any cover-up.
Often when I finish a film I’ll have that feeling inside me: ‘I never want to do this ever again. I don’t want to pretend anymore. I want to be myself and do that.’ And then, thank God, that feeling goes away after a month or so and I’m raring to go again.
It’s awfully nice when people thank you for the pleasure and laughter you’ve brought to their lives.
I must thank my good friend Nigel Brennan. His strength of character in the midst of extreme hardship inspired me during the darkest days. Despite our separation, he always managed to find small ways to remind me that there are gentlemen in the world, even when I was surrounded by just the opposite.
I thank God that I’m a product of my parents. That they infected me with their intelligence and energy for life, with their thirst for knowledge and their love. I’m grateful that I know where I come from.
I thank Manchester City for giving me the opportunity to train these amazing players.
As a kid, I lived in a fantasy world. I used to believe ants could talk. Not once did they say thank you.
I haven’t gotten a lot of feedback about, ‘Oh, you helped me in this way.’ But on social media, people are like, ‘Thank you for your positive posts,’ or ‘It’s fun to see you grow and your character. I feel like I’m growing with you.’
Most of us do more than subsist. From the vantage point of our ancestors, we live lives of almost unimaginable ease. Here again, we have innovation to thank.
Some people write a thank you note for a gift, and it’s three pages long, and some people write a thank you note, and it’s five sentences – that’s me. I like to pare away words because I don’t want to waste anyone’s time.
I would like to thank President Goodluck Jonathan for his display of statesmanship in setting a precedent for us that has now made our people proud to be Nigerians wherever they are.
I truly thank whoever’s up there for giving me the opportunity to be loved.
Pro wrestling was there, and I was good at it, thank God. I started getting a lot of offers, but unfortunately, at WWE I was under a tight leash. I think it had a lot to do with The Rock making the transition, and me possibly being the next guy – you know, the company didn’t want to lose another top performer.
I am so proud to call myself Canadian! Thank you, Canada, for welcoming me with open arms!
It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it.
Thank God I have four sons. The mother/daughter relationship is one of mankind’s great mysteries, and for womankind, it can be hellaciously complicated. My mother and I are quintessential examples of the rewards and frustrations, and the joys and infuriations it can yield.
Thank God, I have sort of a pan-European accent rather than Russian, which doesn’t sound very pleasantly to Americans. For them, we speak with a rather rude pitch, and that might be our actors’ problem there. Now I’ve begun working with language coaches in Los Angeles to get rid of the accent completely.
Since my father was a superstar, without me knowing it, I became a child star, as my father’s entire fan base liked me, and I can’t thank my father enough for this, as it was so effortless.
Let me close as I did in Gander on September 11, 2002 when I went to that community to thank the people of Gander and the people of Canada for the overwhelming support and help that was given to us in the wake of those attacks on September 11, 2001.
To all the parents out there, thank you for allowing me to be a role model for your children. I really, really do not take that for granted.
I have enough love to last me a lifetime! Thank God I’ll never lose my imagination and my passion. That’s really what it is. I’m still passionate about what I do.
It’s one thing to put out the opportunity, but it’s another to take it and run with it. People say to me, ‘Thank you for the opportunity,’ and I always respond with, ‘Thank you for taking it.’ We need to be able to see where, how, these changes can grow. Rome wasn’t built in a day, nor was WWE.
Thank God there is a such thing as hiatus. We got the first ‘Dr. Horrible’ done in six days, we banged it out.
I’d like to say to all my fans out there, thanks for the support. And to all my doubters, thank you very much because you guys have also pushed me.
I thank my mother, Terezinha, for the power of her transforming love.
I do think that Thanksgiving is a very nice holiday because it’s all about saying thank you; it’s being thankful.
Thank you to everyone that has made me the athlete I am! God, family and friends, my competitors and supporters! You have all had a hand!
I want to thank Bollywood for accepting me and loving me the way I am and my songs. Bollywood has given me the reach.
When I did the first ‘Matrix,’ after it came out, I had a woman come up to me and just thank me for Trinity because she was an action writer. She said she was getting really good opportunities now.
When you think about those of us that live the life that we want to live, we can thank absolutely and completely our men and women in uniform. Because if it were not for them, we wouldn’t enjoy the freedoms that we have.
I want to thank coach Thompson… for saving my life. For giving me the opportunity.
Thank God my life is normal. I work hard to make it normal. My husband and I don’t want Hollywood drama. I go to the market and do the dishes. I’m not treated differently because I work on TV.
