The band has always stayed close to its fans and not sold out. That’s a very rare thing. I can see how rare that is having been outside of the band for eight years. Maiden has integrity. I think people appreciate that.
My first name, with the rare two-r spelling, came from a sportswriter named Garry Schumacher. My parents didn’t know him personally, but my mother liked the spelling.

If I don’t die in a plane crash or something, this country has a rare opportunity to watch a great talent grow.
It’s very rare for me to come across a script for NYMF that is truly its own animal. That’s really what appealed to me about ‘Valueville.’ I still have my notes from when I first read it.
My relationship with Shinsuke – I mean, he’s a tremendous guy, we’ve maintained our friendship for well over a decade, and he’s one of those incredible, rare, once-in-a-lifetime athletes whose ability transcends international border, which is something that’s not often able to be done.

It is rare that you read scripts that genuinely move you and make you feel that, regardless of the commercial possibilities, you have to make the film.
I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it.
It’s rare to work on a series without a writer. If you have a question about a line, then phone calls have to be made.

Not many people do what Jameis Winston did: first year as a starter winning a national championship, only one loss in his two years as a starter. He’s got great charisma. He’s polarizing for some people, but he’s a rare talent.
The older I get, the more I realize how rare it is to meet a kindred spirit.
This first print run of the first edition of my first novel, ‘When The Lion Feeds.’ back in 1964, is so rare it can fetch several thousand pounds at auction. I always wanted to be an author, and I decided to write about what I knew.

Lawsuits are rare and catastrophic experiences for the vast majority of men, and even when the catastrophe ensues, the controversy relates most often not to the law, but to the facts. In countless litigations, the law Is so clear that judges have no discretion.

The poet, being an imitator like a painter or any other artist, must of necessity imitate one of three objects – things as they were or are, things as they are said or thought to be, or things as they ought to be. The vehicle of expression is language – either current terms or, it may be, rare words or metaphors.
I’m a happy guy, but if I’m in a rare dark mood, I won’t go out because I don’t want to be horrible to people.
I love Tom Waits because he’s an artist who makes me not afraid to get old, and that’s rare. I think it’s a rare kind of thing to have that level of wisdom. And his lyrics are just astounding; everything in life is inside his lyrics.
Everyone is on Facebook. It is very rare that I can’t find a startup. Out of the 72 Y Combinator startups, almost all of them were on Facebook.
Corporations often partner with government after natural disasters, as many companies did in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As a rule, however, long-term civic/corporate partnerships are still rare .But this need not remain the status quo, as many opportunities are available for such partnerships.
Good characters are rare. As long as I find one or two a year, I’m happy.

Kids are always open to anything. It’s very rare that a kid isn’t extremely eager to make you happy.
It’s a rare and precious thing to be close to suffering because our society – in many ways – tells us that suffering is wrong. If it’s our own suffering, we try to hide it or isolate ourselves. If others are suffering, we’re taught to put them away somewhere so we don’t have to see it.
I think I went into poli-sci because I knew there was a stage, plus I thought I wanted to help people, and I realized in poli-sci that if you want to be a politician you’re either born into it, or you’ve got an amazing brain, which those are rare – and I don’t have one.
My experience on ‘The West Wing’ was, I think, now rare in that I was pretty young, and I walked into this environment where Aaron Sorkin was giving me a script every week, and Thomas Schlamme and John Wells were keeping the studio off my back, at least as best as they could.
I love rare books. Not that I own a lot of them, mind you. You couldn’t quite call me a rare-book collector. But I did once work in a rare-books library, and I wrote a novel about a rare book.
I happen to be one of those rare actors that actually loves very intelligent and well-acted science fiction.

No purchase is so urgent, no bargain so rare, that you don’t have time to research it thoroughly, despite what they might have you believe. This applies, in particular, to infomercials that urge you to ‘Call now, while supplies last,’ or ‘Call in the next 10 minutes for a free gift.’
I do think I’m terrific at giving advice. Although in our hearts we usually know what we should do. It’s rare that you get in a situation in life where you don’t know how to proceed. You know the thing you should do, but don’t want to.
I think the audience is getting it right, you know what I mean? And that’s kind of rare when the artist feels like their audience understand them. But I feel like people are understanding exactly what I’m going for. And that’s awesome.
