I get up, upload a video to YouTube, eat, sleep, and check all my social medias, eat again, sleep some more, watch ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and go to sleep for the night. Just your average teenage girl, give or take a decade.

The world’s music is at our fingertips, so if we like music, we kind of owe it to ourselves to check in with all of that.
We have to unclutter our brains from worries that maybe people don’t like us. Women tend to worry about popularity; it doesn’t matter if they like you. They need to respect you. They need to show that respect for you in your pay check. And that needs to be okay.
When I come up with a melody in my head, it could be anywhere: in the shower, on the plane, in bed – often when I’m on the go. I’ll record it on my phone with my own voice, humming. When I get to the studio, I check which melodies work.
And occasionally some of the nations that will be partners in this would probably not be, in terms of passing a pure human rights check, have everything going for them that you would like to have.

It’s been a reality check that my muscles are still really affected by my spinal cord injury, but it’s also been super empowering to see how much I’m capable of.
My business life is really simple. It’s like, get check. Put check in bank. Pay rent. I’ve never bought a stock in my life. I never got caught up in that trip. And the truth is, I don’t obsess about money ever.
The first time I ever recorded, which was into my boom-box, I was like, ‘Wow, check that out.’ It sounded great. The narcotic of it was so intense – it was pleasurable. I was like, ‘You sound like a band.’ Then I ended up spending the rest of my life trying to chase that initial high again.
The story behind ‘Check Point’ is what drew me in. The script had a couple of twists that I really did not see coming… To get out there and raise people’s awareness, I think there’s a big responsibility in that.
If you want to be taken seriously, always check your fly.
I try to get that across in the work, to try to, if I’m lucky, to make this world a little bit better for all of us before I check out. And that’s if I’m lucky, I don’t always get to have that privilege but I try always.
I don’t care what they do with my book so long as the flippin check clears.
We should make it as easy as possible to be able to get a legal work visa – not citizenship, not a green card. Just a work visa, with a background check and a Social Security card so that applicable taxes would get paid.
When something in art or music piques my interest, I tend to go check it out, and most things I check out, I’m not very good at. But a few things I’ve gone to check out have given me back as much love as I gave them, usually much more.
Literally, I look back on it now, and I often think to myself, ‘Karamo you should have done better.’ But that’s the thing: when you’re in that dark space, you can’t do any better. And it’s for people around you to say, ‘You know what? I need to check in with you and be there to support you.’
It began to really eat away with me that in the ’60s the federal government, desiring to help poor moms who were dealing with deadbeat dads, decided, ‘We’ll help: we’ll give a check for every child you can have out of wedlock.’
I don’t mind traveling that much when I can go somewhere and stay there for a while, but touring is different. You rarely see anything. You get there early in the morning and you’re resting all day, and you go in and do a sound check, and you do the show, and then bam you’re gone.
Check my records: you’ll find I’ve never caused a bad injury to a player.
I know the activists I deal with, we sort of try and check each other to make sure that we haven’t gone native, that you come to Washington thinking it’s a cesspool, you don’t want to end up thinking it’s really a hot tub and getting used to it. So that’s something one has to keep an eye on all the time.
There’s been some people I’ve overheard talking about ‘Mindhunter.’ I’ll lean in and say, ‘Hey, I haven’t seen it yet. Is it any good?’ And they’ll say, ‘Yeah, you should go check it out.’
I know these are going to sound like school reading-list suggestions, but if you like dystopian fiction, you should check out some of the originals: ‘Anthem,’ by Ayn Rand; ‘1984,’ by George Orwell; or ‘Brave New World,’ by Aldous Huxley.
I’m an athlete and I’m black, and a lot of black athletes go broke. I do not want to become a statistic, so maybe I overcompensate. But I’m paranoid. Oprah told me a long time ago, ‘You sign every check. Never let anyone sign any checks.’
I must visit a psychiatrist to check if there’s any sanity left in me.
Safety is top priority for us, and all our drivers are fully certified; all of them are checked. Their addresses are checked. Backgrounds are checked. To whatever extent the Indian system makes it possible to check.
Over the years, our federal prisons have become a breeding ground for radicalization. By allowing volunteers to enter the system without first having to undergo a comprehensive background check, some of the most vulnerable members of society have become susceptible to radicalization.
Language is ever on the move, and most days, I check out the ‘Urban Dictionary’ where anyone can invent a new and useful word or phrase.
Definitely read a quality daily paper regularly, and use the Internet to check out the press around the world as often as you can.
It’s all about the money. Write a check, and you can build anything you want.
At the risk of sounding pedestrian, I’ll be completely honest: the first thing I do in the morning is check Google News, partially because it seems sort of random and unbiased and partially because I tend to stay in hotels that don’t necessarily have the fastest Internet connections.
I do a long sound check. I get there at noon on the day of a show and sit behind the piano and then walk around with the microphone. Then I feel like I have done my homework.

From the day war conquered the skies, nothing could check its progress.
There are a lot of complaints by the older generation about the lack of action in this generation. My retort: give these people something to be engaged in. Cutting a check is not engaging.
Watch me on CNN/SI. Check out clips from ‘Quite Frankly.’ I’ve always been Stephen A. Smith. I’ve been this way since the day I was born.
I’m not on Facebook. I have a sort of anonymous account that I check, like, once every six months every time Facebook rolls out a new feature.
I still have my first paycheck. It was just, I think, a dollar or two that I got when I started as a songwriter with BMI, and I had some songs there that I had through the company, and in the mail I got this big old check for, like, a dollar and a half or something. Somebody had recorded one of my songs.
As a general rule, the more precious the chips you’d consider betting, the more you should lean toward playing it safe. Check it down; cautious play is usually the recipe for long-term success in poker.
You wouldn’t want to see the size of the check that I would write if it would for sure get the Dallas Cowboys a Super Bowl.
Every day when I wake up, I check Instagram.
I know people who go back and check themselves, but it drives me crazy. Everybody wants to look in the mirror and see Cary Grant looking back at them, but that’s just not the case.
When I do an album I try to find a producer that’s excited about something that they want me to sing, and I check with the record company to find out what they think they can sell – which is their No. 1 priority.
People are savvy enough to know that simply a threat of litigation is tantamount to a nice, hefty check.

I don’t dream about the perfect script, though I check my mailbox every morning.
That’s where I think a lot of these guys today are just, ‘I’m the drummer, man. Check it out. Here’s my lick. I just learned this new drum lick. I’m just gonna blast all over the place.’ It’s like, ‘Man, you’ve got to let the song breathe.’
I really am a full-blown Scorpio. Whenever I look things up about my sign, it’s like, Check, check, check: thoughtful, detailed, moody, stubborn, prideful, emotional.
