Any rehearsal process – I find, anyway – does have quite an effect on me, and I very much live in that world for the whole period of time that I’m involved with the production. But normally, afterwards with a little bit of space, I can come right back out of it again.
Performing is a profound experience, at least for me. It’s not as if I sit down and play ‘Fire and Rain’ by myself, just to hear it again. But to offer it up… the energy that it somehow summons live takes me right back, and I do get a reconnection to the emotions.
Whatever you make from music, you invest that right back into what you want to get into in life.
When I played for the Steelers and I got my bell rung, I’d take smelling salts and go right back out there.
I think I’m alright as a lyricist, you know? But then what will happen every couple of months or so is that I’ll hear a song I’ve never heard before and feel I’ve gone right back to square one.
When I ran away from the ‘Octomom’ persona, I went right back into my healthy lifestyle.
Kids need time for problem solving, critical thinking, applying knowledge through project-based instruction, working in teams, falling down and getting right back up to figure out what they didn’t understand and why.
I seem to be known as much by the moniker ‘Mrs Funnybones’ as my own name these days. The book was about how a modern woman looks at India and how India looks right back at her. I am glad that India seems to be looking back at me with a grin.
My position is a centre back, but I’ve played right back before and I started my footballing career as a midfielder. I see myself as a central defender, and I feel most comfortable there.
I have this image of myself as kinda like the Energizer Bunny. I get knocked down, and I pop right back up.
When you fight for something, you fight the good fight. You go for it, you never stop. You get knocked down, and you get right back up. That’s what we need to be teaching these kids. For that matter, even some adults.
My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.
I had been played at left back, right back, and I just felt like I wasn’t developing as a player. I saw the opportunity to join Tottenham and I took it, because I felt it was the best decision for all parties.
I was walking around legally blind. Now I have 20-20 vision. I can’t believe I spent so many years blurry, but I think that coincides with how I was feeling. Now I notice if people are watching me, but I also smile right back if someone waves, which helps.
I have adapted and feel comfortable in the middle, but I am a world and European champion at right back.
A lot of guys, if they’re a face and they see their drawing ability start to falter, they’ll turn heel and they’re right back on top again. Same thing with a heel. All of a sudden they’ll turn into a good guy. Ric Flair has done that throughout his career a number of times.
I like to always be able to contest shots. If you play against a player like Al Jefferson – he likes to pump-fake, so you need to be alert and quick. If he pump-fakes you and you go up, when you come back you need to go right back up to contest his shot.
When he was with you, he was totally yours. Of course Papa might tell you to wait in the car for five minutes while he talked to just this one person and he’d be right back. He might be gone an hour and a half. He was a very hard person to get out of places, actually.
We overweight people, we say terrible things to ourselves. Oh, you wouldn’t believe it. ‘You fat pig. How can you do this? You’re a disgusting jerk.’ And that gets you nowhere. That gets you right back into a bowl of pasta fregula.
If the white man gives you anything – just remember when he gets ready he will take it right back. We have to take for ourselves.
My wife is a professor at UCLA in Los Angeles, but otherwise, I’d be right back living on the Upper West Side.
Because our government has been so incompetent at protecting its highly sophisticated cyberweapons, those weapons have been stolen out of the electronic vaults of the National Security Agency and the C.I.A. and shot right back at us.
For all the marathons I’ve run, including the Ironmans that I’ve run, immediately after the race, I clean myself up, do whatever I need to do to make sure I’m okay, and I get right back out there, and I cheer people on. Because it’s the people who come in late in the race I find most inspiring.
In America it’s all, ‘I’m gonna make something of myself, leave my tiny town and go to L.A!’ Canadians are like, ‘I’m gonna make something of myself, go to L.A., and then come right back again to hang out with my buddies!’
The moment artists can just do what they love to do then music will go right back to where it used to be. I mean back in the ’60s and ’70s and ’80s, that’s what it was.
I haven’t fought for a while and didn’t want a warm-up fight. I wanted to jump right back in the pit and I got what I asked for. I got Anthony Pettis.
