Hell, I ain’t paid to make good lines sound good. I’m paid to make bad lines sound good.

Everybody’s under God’s planet, and God is the Almighty, the Beginning, the End, the Alpha, the Omega. He’s Big Daddy. He gives out these little soldiers and sons and angels and saints to help everybody else get through to him. I’m not the ‘Jesus-only or you’re going to Hell’ kind of guy.

My experience in Amsterdam is that cyclists ride where the hell they like and aim in a state of rage at all pedestrians while ringing their bell loudly, the concept of avoiding people being foreign to them.

It’s been a hell of a roller-coaster ride for me.
Getting pregnant proved to be a hell of a shock but it’s really exciting.
One thing you gotta know about me is I have absolutely no filter. I have no problem saying what the hell I think of someone.
Believe in love. Believe in magic. Hell, believe in Santa Clause. Believe in others. Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams. If you don’t, who will?
What we believe about heaven and hell is incredibly important because it exposes what we believe about who God is and what God is like.
I surprised the hell out of myself when I got MVP for the 2018 All Star Legends Celebrity game. I had no idea I was going to get that.
I thought I had swell ideas, and wonderful musicians, but the hell of it, no one else did.
I should have no use for a paradise in which I should be deprived of the right to prefer hell.
I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.
I’m definitely not a monthly guy. Probably never will be. I’m simply in awe of the guys who do monthly books well… hell, in awe of people who do monthlies period.
I’ve tried like hell to make bad movies good, and I can’t. Maybe Marlon Brando has been able to do that at times. But even he has a hard time making ‘The Appaloosa’ a good movie.
I think Hell exists on Earth. It’s a psychological state, or it can be a physical state. People who have severe mental illness are in Hell. People who have lost a loved one are in Hell. I think there are all kinds of different hells. It’s not a place you go to after you die.
I read about this hotel that was great, down in the south of the island, not in a touristy area. I had no particular desire ever to go to Jamaica, but I thought, what the hell? Sounds nice. Let’s go!
I have to laugh to myself. I don’t find it work to write music, because I enjoy it. I’d find an evening of bridge hard work because you have to think like hell, and at the end, you get nothing for it.
I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.
There is no hope of anyone going to Heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting. You cannot go to Heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in Hell.
Normally, if you go through a game without attracting attention, you are doing a hell of a job.
The most used phrase in my administration if I were to be President would be ‘What the hell you mean we’re out of missiles?’
Am I R&B because I’m black? Am I pop because I have a song called ‘Milkshake’? Or can I just be who the hell I am? Good Lord, people make it seem like we’re doing heart transplants here, but we’re just making music!
I’m so close to Heaven, this Hell cannot be mine.
At college age, you can tell who is best at taking tests and going to school, but you can’t tell who the best people are. That worries the hell out of me.
Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.
Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.
A good horror movie – it doesn’t matter how many comedy horror films there have been before. Doesn’t matter how much you think it’s going to be funny. A good horror movie will scare the hell out of you… the moment you sit down and you start being exposed to that story, it’s going to freeze your blood.
There is not a special place in Hell for people who didn’t support Sarah Palin. Do you know what I mean? It’s ridiculous. And there is certainly not a special place in Hell for women who don’t support Hillary Clinton.
I know that God is good, and he saved me from hell and damnation.
The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.
I had been drawing my weekly comic strip, ‘Life in Hell,’ for about five years when I got a call from Jim Brooks, who was developing ‘The Tracey Ullman Show’ for the brand-new Fox network. He wanted me to come in and pitch an idea for doing little cartoons on that show.
I can walk into a bookstore and hand over my credit card and they don’t know who the hell I am. Maybe that says something about bookstore clerks.
I knew my successor would be better than me for the next stage of the company’s life. And it was a relief – I’d been doing it for 30 years. My only worry was what the hell I was going to do with my time.
I’m not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose… it’ll be much harder to detect.
All I can really say is it’s bloodier than hell. In this one I’m going to be much more direct and honest in my description of the actual killings and the crime scene.
You get to know them, they get to know you and see if they like you. Then they’ll vote on you to become a prospect. You have to be sponsored by a Hells Angel.
One hell of an outlay for a very small return, with most of them.
I can’t think of any more important issue. If we get this right, we’ll not only preserve our landscape for future generations we’ll be able to generate I think more investment and more job opportunities in the inland and we sure as hell need those jobs.
Whether you come from heaven or hell, what does it matter, O Beauty!
My daughter is 15. None of her friends know who the hell Chris Rea is, but they know that song – as soon as it comes on, they start singing it. I’ve played with everyone from Status Quo to Talk Talk, but nothing impresses them as much as the fact that I play on ‘Driving Home for Christmas.’
In the last 15 or 20 years, I’ve watched the British press simply go to hell. There seems to be no limit, no depths to which the tabloids won’t sink. I don’t know who these people are but they’re little pigs.
As far as I understand, the Second Coming is already here. It’s a consciousness. It is not someone who is going to arrive and land in a clearing in the forest. The Hell that they talk of is going to be people creating their own unhappiness, a Hell on Earth.
Marriage may be the closest thing to Heaven or Hell any of us will know on this earth.
I’m serious about this. The Republican Party needs to reform or die. President Bush did three things. He destroyed the Republican majority, he crippled the American conservative movement and he weakened the country. That’s a hell of a trifecta.
When I had my injury, I had gotten hit, and it hurt like hell.
My father always said, ‘Do your best and piss on the rest.’ And I think there’s a lot of truth to that, because if you’ve done your best, there’s not a hell of a lot more you can do about something.
I’m a hell of a bloody good dancer.
I was raised thinking I’d burn in hell for being gay, but I didn’t have a choice. It’s just who I am.
Capitalism without bankruptcy is like Christianity without hell.
There’s nothing wrong with being gay. I have plenty of friends who are going to hell.
What the hell is pilot season? It’s an artificial boundary that makes no sense, and it makes you do things under duress.
There has been no persecution I have not tasted, no oppression I have not suffered. I neither care for Paradise nor fear Hell. If I see my nation’s belief secured, I will not even care about burning in Hell, for while my body is burning, my heart will be as if in a rose garden.
At the 2012 Olympics, there was a nutritionist in the food hall telling us, ‘Eat that. And eat that.’ After winning my gold, I went to McDonald’s for chicken nuggets and a strawberry milkshake, but that was just for the hell of it. I don’t feel hungry after a match, to be honest.
Evolution can go to hell as far as I am concerned. What a mistake we are. We have mortally wounded this sweet life-supporting planet – the only one in the whole Milky Way – with a century of transportation whoopee.
