I am trying to be a good person. I am trying to be myself, and if nobody likes me for me, that is their problem.
Atlantic has been great to me. They didn’t flinch when I told them I was self-producing, and nobody was popping their head in the studio.
My mom is an actress, but she never really pushed me into it, and it was never something I thought I would be doing. She was very happy I decided to, but she certainly doesn’t offer me criticism because she knows I’d tell her to shut up! Nobody wants to hear that from their mum!
Nobody can be as agreeable as an uninvited guest.
Nobody understands another’s sorrow, and nobody another’s joy.
When I wrote ‘Pink Houses,’ nobody was talking about that, right? The next thing I know, you can’t see the TV without hearing commercials with ‘Listen to the heartbeat of America,’ or ‘Born the American way.’ That whole America thing now – I hate it.
The English language is nobody’s special property. It is the property of the imagination: it is the property of the language itself.
No one wants to be picked at. At the end of the day, we’re all human beings with feelings and emotions. Nobody wants to be critiqued and picked apart, but it’s the nature of the business. It comes with the territory. For me, if they’re not talking about you, that’s where you can run into some trouble.
In my mind, I’m still this kid from St. Louis, Missouri, that nobody really knows.
I wanna do a song with Adele! Nobody gets Adele as a feature, so maybe I can. I hope she knows who I am!
Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.
Nobody in this country, the richest on Earth, should ever go hungry.
I had very few friends. There was nobody I could trust. I left home when I was fifteen. I lived in Washington Square Park.
Definitely just growing up in general influenced me; Detroit happened to be where I was. I feel like the city definitely has made an impact on my life and made me who I am. Detroit has an unmistakable soul – nobody can duplicate the soul we bring to the game. From Motown to J Dilla to Eminem to anything.
Nobody’s strong enough to stand up under a flood of weak material.
Discipline yourself. Be conscious of what you think, and what you like. What gets you mad? What gets you in your feelings? Figure that stuff out and take control of it so nobody else can control you.
Nobody needs a smile so much as the one who has none to give. So get used to smiling heart-warming smiles, and you will spread sunshine in a sometimes dreary world.
When people treat you mean, you dislike them for that, but not because of their person, who they are. I was born and raised in a segregated society, but when I left there, I had nobody I disliked other than the people that’d mistreated me, and that only lasted for as long as they were mistreating me.
I follow politics in a big way, and always have since I was a kid. I’ve got opinions, but they’re opinions on both sides – not just anti-Republican, which is a real popular thing for a rap artist to do. If you dis Republicans, nobody will get mad. I think the two-party system sucks. It’s absolutely ignorant.
I have a whole area in my closet for displaying shoes. They are in rows. But nobody comes in my closet, so they are only on display for me. It’s pretty spectacular.
The truth is nobody was a Muslim until Public Enemy came out. Then, everybody was Muslim this and Muslim that. It’s a bandwagon thing. Islam is a way of life… it’s a religion. It’s not just something you put on a record.
The children in ‘Nobody Knows’ had a resonance with me. The children are projections of myself.
Compensation needs to be predominately performance-driven. If CEO compensation was performance-driven, which I believe it was in IBM’s case, nobody would ever argue. If the shareholders didn’t make billions and billions of dollars, I wouldn’t make millions of dollars.
Nobody can ever make enough money for as many poor relatives as I’ve got. Somebody’s got a sick kid, or somebody needs an operation, somebody ain’t got this, somebody ain’t got that. Or to give the kids all a car when they graduate.
If I want to believe that life is lonely and that nobody loves me, then that is what I will find in my world.
My first show was called ‘I Know I’ve Been Changed’ in ’92. I tried to do this show for years and years. It kept failing over and over and over again. Every time I went out to do the show, nobody showed up. I was like, ‘What is this about?’
Nobody does good to men with impunity.
To go somewhere where nobody knows you, and to keep your eyes open… That was a beautiful concept in terms of putting yourself in a place to be inspired.
You are the master of your own ship, pal. There are lots of people who fall into troubled waters and don’t have the guts or the knowledge or the ability to make it to shore. They have nobody to blame but themselves.
Criminals know that if they stay under certain thresholds, nobody is going to come after them.
The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.
Nobody counts the number of ads you run; they just remember the impression you make.
Nobody’s a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It’s hard to stay on top.
We continue to be exasperated by the view, apparently gaining momentum in certain circles, that armed robbery is okay as long as nobody gets hurt! The proper solution to armed robbery is a dead robber, on the scene.
Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
I can’t keep somebody from being a star, and I can’t make somebody a star, and nobody can.
Nobody can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own.
Over the years all these vampire movies have come out and nobody looks like a vampire anymore.
You gotta water your plants. Nobody can water them for you.
When people are like, ‘Why are these white people walking around this black hood?’ I’m like, ‘Why aren’t they?’ If it ain’t bothering nobody, they can do whatever they want! They’re in the hood to make it better.
The leg drop was a move that nobody really used, and nobody ever hit the ropes and jumped up really high, so I tried it out in Japan and the people loved it. That’s how I came up with it.
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Nobody ever becomes an expert parent. But I think good parenting is about consistency. It’s about being there at big moments, but it’s also just the consistency of decision making. And it’s routine.
The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.
Nobody in Europe will be abandoned. Nobody in Europe will be excluded. Europe only succeeds if we work together.
Nobody ever worked as hard as my father. My father averaged maybe four hours of sleep at night, and when you’re a kid, you don’t realize that. The man was tired. He was tired.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that the 761st was Patton’s best tank unit and nobody knew about it.
Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says ‘no.’
Nobody had ever told me junk food was bad for me. Four years of medical school, and four years of internship and residency, and I never thought anything was wrong with eating sweet rolls and doughnuts, and potatoes, and bread, and sweets.
I believe very strongly – and I never brought this up as a player – but I put up, I feel, Hall of Fame numbers with diabetes. If I didn’t have diabetes – nobody realizes that, when I was diagnosed at 18, even the doctors didn’t know what to do about diabetes.
No man has a right to expect to succeed in life unless he understands his business, and nobody can understand his business thoroughly unless he learns it by personal application and experience.
Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.
If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.
The revolution that takes place in your head, nobody will ever see that.
I got ‘Munich’ after I had done ‘In Treatment’ in Israel, which was very successful. But, when I actually shot it, nobody knew it was going to be sold all over the world and be so successful.
I grew up in a house where nobody had to tell me to go to school every day and do my homework.
The greatest thing is nobody cares that I’m fifty years old. They only care what I sound like.
Truth lives, in fact, for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs pass, so long as nothing challenges them, just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.
In the middle of the night, when you’re ambiguously ethnic, like me, when you’re brown, beige, mauve, siena, one of those lighter browns in the Crayola box. You have to be careful of the cops and robbers, because nobody’s quite sure what you are, but everybody has assumptions.
Ultimately, when you’re out on track with your helmet on, nobody can see the driver. Nobody can judge you on what you look like if your hair is long or short, if you’re black or you’re white, if you’re male or female. All that matters is your performance.
I loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean, unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.
