Anybody Quotations | Page 4

Life being so short, and the possible books to write so many, it's good to function by night as well as by day; but would anybody become a writer if they realised at the outset what the working hours were?

I was the only kid who anybody I knew has ever seen actually walk into a lamppost with his eyes wide open. Everybody assumed that there must be something going on inside, because there sure as hell wasn't anything going on on the outside!

If hackers, if anyone committing a criminal act, wants to reduce their risk, they obviously don't involve anybody else. The greater the circle of people that know what you're doing, the higher the risk.

The Bushes were certainly part of Texas in their mind, but they didn't have the kind of political flavor that you normally find in Texas politicians. It's just Texas is such a unique place to itself that politically, at least so far, they haven't found anybody to play nationally.

I think anybody that's worked hard and has built something and has been successful can testify to how, you know, how wonderful that was, how wonderful it still is.

Once somebody is known, it seems as though anybody anywhere can say anything about them. Whereas if I simply stopped someone in the street and criticised their clothes, their work, their parents, their inner being, I'd be sued and I'd be thrown in prison.

You can't break through Hollywood formulaic points of view. I've tried, and I think I was more successful than anybody at doing it.

It'd be crazy to say just because an artist is not successful that means he's not talented. I don't think anybody really believes that, but sometimes it feels that way.

England is a memory now. The gates are flooded and anybody can have access to England and join in.

Would this country be better off if no one drank? Yes, it would be, but we tried that; it doesn't work. I don't want to tell anybody that they can't have as many drinks as they want every single night of the week as long as they don't get behind the wheel of a car.

Look, if anybody still wants to dispute the science around climate change, have at it. You'll be pretty lonely, because you'll be debating our military, most of America's business leaders, the majority of the American people, almost the entire scientific community, and 200 nations around the world who agree it's a problem and intend to solve it.

I won't do advertising if they bring a layout and say, 'This is what we want to do,' because anybody can do that; it's not interesting. They've got digital and the computer; it's not taking pictures, it's not magic - it's a picture done by committee.

I never went to school more than six months in my life, but I can say this: that among my earliest recollections, I remember how, when a mere child, I used to get irritated when anybody talked to me in a way I could not understand.

I think number one is what my mom and dad preached to me when I was a little kid: Just because you may have athletic ability and you may be able to play a sport doesn't make you any more special than anybody else. Doesn't mean God loves you more than anybody else.

I don't know anybody as creative and unique and off the wall as Dia Frampton. She's always asking me, 'Am I too weird?' I just tell her, 'People don't think you're weird, they think you're cool.'

Now, anybody who thinks that we can move this economy forward with just a few folks at the top doing well, hoping that it's going to trickle down to working people who are running faster and faster just to keep up, you'll never see it.

I hate to see anybody sink. I hate to see anybody lose their dream, lose their home, something like that.

I don't notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.

Anybody who's lived in the ghetto knows that you don't move during the daytime. Here's why: You don't want anyone to know you're leaving, and you don't want anyone knowing where you're going.

I don't need therapy. I'm not going to see a therapist; comedy acts as my therapy. I put my problems out there. I talk about them. I talk about everything before anybody has a chance.

No matter what anybody thinks about any of them, every record I've done has been done with the same amount of care, anguish, pain, suffering, and joy.

In my career as a director, there's always been some point where you get halfway through it, or three-quarters, and you go: 'What is this thing all about, and why am I telling the story? Does anybody really care about seeing this?' At that time you have to say: 'OK, forget that and just go ahead.'

I keep a hotel room in my town, although I have a large house. And I go there at about 5:30 in the morning, and I start working. And I don't allow anybody to come in that room. I work on yellow pads and with ballpoint pens. I keep a Bible, a thesaurus, a dictionary, and a bottle of sherry. I stay there until midday.

More than anybody in town, I would like to move on from the Blue Back debate.

more than anybody that I know. he was committed to the ideals of law.

I was standing pretty close, but it's not going to change anything. I told them regardless of how you feel right now, there's nothing that I could say or anybody could say that is going to change the outcome. Just know that you made a lot of people proud tonight with your effort.

I was feeling pretty good walking down that line and shaking hands with all of them. Baseball was no big thing to me. I figured anybody could play, but couldn't anybody make a movie. That's the way I thought.

Personally I think there's only one school that can't lose -- Oklahoma. I think anybody else can get beat. Just to win is hard. I mean, Virginia Tech goes to Temple and sneaks out on a missed extra point. How can FSU go to Clemson and lose like they did? Every week, you've got those upsets. I think it speaks volumes for what TCU has done.

Personally, I thought we would all be doing Monday night. We are better than anybody that's out there.

Personally, I would tend to disagree and say anybody that you take off the streets of the city and you're going to put those people in a confined and secluded area with other people that have been arrested for crimes, they should be strip-searched for the safety of the people that's there.

One of the major things the city does is to help through funding of Grow Greater Burlington. I would put Dennis Hinkle (vice president of economic development for the chamber) up against any economic developer in the state. ... He's done a great job, an outstanding job and that's the major way that the city takes on that role. He's full?time. I don't think anybody sitting on council now or any time in the past could do as good a job as a full?time economic development focus person.

One of the big things at Lebanon is I'm getting a three-year contract and I have full control of who I want to hire in terms of coaches without having to go through anybody else,

On my first day of Jr. High I was in Geography class, and the teacher asked us if anybody knew the names of the continents. And I was sooo excited. I was like, Damnit! It's my first day of 7th grade, Im in jr high and i know this answer. So i raised my hand I was the first one and I said A-E-I-O-U!

On my varsity lineup, I can't come up with anybody who either doesn't live on a farm or hasn't worked on a farm. They understand what hard work is and understand the sacrifice I am making to be there. When I come to wrestling (practice), I am there for one reason.

On the offensive side of the ball, I don't think anybody can be too proud of what we did. That wasn't us tonight.

Only time will tell as to what we're really going to be capable of this year. But right now I feel like we're as good as anybody out there.

On paper, I can whip anybody with the pencil because I knew that system. But I needed those other years to really apply the craft.

On the road, just like anybody else, we try to be patient and see what they can bring. We expected them to be more aggressive at home, but it looked like every time we tried to push it there was no reaction from them. So we just continued to keep pushing.

Neal Stephenson handles exposition better than anybody else. I keep trying to learn his tricks, but every time I duck into his pages, I get lost in the stories all over again and forget that I'm a writer.

Nine times out of 10, I'd give P.J. the ball. He's shown he can get the job done. There's no way I'd pick anybody else. (A&M) is a big deal, but the guy has meant so much to the program. He's an incredible player.

I would argue our celebrities is Joe from Berwyn and Hank from Cicero and the family that came in from Orland Park that might be sitting in section 120, and they are as much a celebrity as anybody else,

I would be against hiring anybody until those are defined.

I would defy anybody anybody in this chamber, anybody in Massachusetts to say that the apocalypse has come, yet some have predicted it. Sixty-five-hundred married couples later, the sun still shines in Massachusetts. My coffee does not have curdled milk.

I wish coach was here. I hope he gets to feeling better. He's done more for this school than anybody could ever imagine.

I wish I could say I've traveled more than I have, but I pretty much stayed in one region and I'm sure there are a lot of places like it. To me it just seems so normal around there. It's my home. It's where I grew up. The faces around there look like my kind of people. I look at faces in other parts of the country and I don't get it right off the bat, but I look at anybody up there and it just looks like home.

I would give it to Nash. No question about it. I don't think anybody in the NBA is playing the way he's playing and his team is doing what they're doing. Take him off the roster and they would not be where they are.

I wouldn't trade him for anybody else in the country.

I wouldn't vote to give anybody $200 a month to be on call for no service,

I wouldn't want anybody to go through this once, much less twice. But she's had this heart for 10 years, and we thank God for the 10 years she's had.

I wouldn't want anybody to think we are going to run our UK business at an 80 percent combined ratio. I would be delighted if it was 95 percent.

I wouldn't want to be sheriff and I have no idea why anybody else would want to be.

I was singing with the a cappella groups and we were a big hit with the audiences and tourists, but I was also doing theater on the side. I would be talking to theater audiences afterward and I realized those theater audiences had never seen an a cappella group at a theme park before. They'd never heard anybody making music with just their voices.

I was surprised that we didn't see anybody moving away from 152 to either 145 or 160. With such a talented and deep weight class, there are always kids moving away. Not this time. We even had kids moving into this weight class.

I was surprised to be nominated. I didn't expect to win, but of course it would have been great. There were only three songs, and I had as good a chance as anybody else. At least the guys that did win (rap group Three 6 Mafia for the song 'It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp' from the movie 'Hustle and Flow') are from Memphis.

I was taken advantage of. I was a victim just like anybody else, ... I'm not who everybody has claimed that I am.

If we go out and play the way we're capable of playing, we can beat them. We can beat anybody we want when we do that, but we have to do it. We can't do it for 30 minutes or less.

I grew up in the Bay Area until 1976, then I pretty much went all the way through primary and high school on Bainbridge, though like anybody who grows up on an island, I ran the first chance I got.

No. 1 and foremost, he's a great example of a great student-athlete. He's a 4.0-plus student and he's a nice kid. He's the type of guy anybody would want in their program, on top of the fact he's 6-7.

No. 1, I didn't really have anybody (available) I can trust to bunt,

Nobody here thinks we are going to out raise Tom DeLay. But we are going to have to raise more to win this House race than anybody probably has raised before.

Nobody is better than anybody and nobody is worse than anybody. We're going to have a lot of depth.

Nobody is forcing anybody who is uncomfortable with the terms of service to use Facebook. Executives point out that Internet users have choices on the Web.

Nobody could want this job more than I do, I don't think. I also don't think anybody could have more of a commitment to this county than I do.

Nighttime is one of the more crucial times -- if there was radio failure, how would anybody know?

Nobody politicked for or against anyone ... You're not going to find a single person that said I asked them to contribute and I don't think you're going to find anybody else asked them to.

Nobody's being hurt; they're expressing themselves, ... They have a right to express themselves; I watched all the television I could on Miami-Dade and I didn't see anybody being shoved around.

I would rather have anybody else shooting that last shot than him. But Dave (Pak) played him real well on that last play. A contested shot is what you want and thank goodness it didn't go in.

I would risk my life for anybody else.

I wouldn't want to put it in anybody else's hands. I mean, you don't want anyone else taking your kids to school in the morning, you know? You want to take them, because you want your own responsibility.

I wouldn't do anything different at the end of the game. Absolutely. I've got as much confidence in Ron Steele as anybody in the nation.

When the guards are doing a good job of getting the ball down in the lane, you've got to reward them the second that anybody collapses.

When the idea and the real plan behind it is, 'We're going to screw the media,' that's a problem, because their goal is to shut people up. They want to be able to give themselves 16 percent pay raises and not have a complaint from the media about it. They don't want to have anybody in the public speak up.

When I am speaking about American presidents, I have to speak about my very special relations with President Clinton. He contributed more to peace than anybody else in the American sense.

When I brought 'Sex and the City' to HBO, I wanted to do something independent, where I could be like, 'I don't care if anybody watches this thing. Just let me do something that I would love to see.' Honestly, the success of 'Sex and the City' was what was most surprising to me. It was sort of like the anti-TV-show in my mind.

When I left, I knew the end was near. I didn't think it was going to be 48 hours. ... Anybody who's been through it, you understand. I've got a job to do and I'm going to do it.

My heart is bigger than anybody else out there. If another skater had felt like I did today, he wouldn't have been on the podium. That's just me refusing to lose.

Somebody is going to have to break away sooner or later, but anybody can throw anybody off here, and that's been the case over the years, but now they're not playing favorites. They're mowing me off, they're mowing John (Force) off, Robert (Hight) got sawed off the first round of Sonoma. You don't know whose going to do it; who's holding the loaded gun. Nobody can break away and get the clean air and get away from everybody. It could still happen, but right now one through four is right there, and even fifth place is right there. With six races left, the whole idea is if somebody jumps up with three in a row, now we're the ones chasing the rabbit ... There's no dominating anywhere.

On '24,' it says on the front page of your script: 'This script is for the production staff and cast. Please don't show it to anybody else.'

Obviously, you didn't want to let him shoot the puck. That was your main focus. You let anybody else shoot it besides him.

Obviously you'd like to coach a team like that, ... Everybody has their plates full right now with their own team, so I have no idea what anybody is doing. That is the farthest thing from my mind. But I sometimes think that winning the last World Cup didn't count for anything. I've coached a lot more games than most of the guys whose names I've read are being considered.

Obviously, we better win it. It's tough to beat anybody three times in a season, but that's what it will take.

Obviously, we didn't have anybody to keep up with her. Their team does a good job getting her the ball.

Obviously, we know we have to stop their inside game and I'm sure that's what they are going to key on us, too. I just think it's really going to come to execution. If anybody gets into foul trouble, especially one of the big girls, that's going to matter, too.

One of the things I really do believe is - and it would've affected our two guys this year, so it wouldn't have been good - I don't believe anybody on sub-.500 teams should be in the All-Star game. It should be all a reward for winning. Now that would affect our guys which, I'm glad no one took my advice for this year.

One of the things I would suggest to anybody who is feeling burnt in the film business, ... They should spend one hour with Martin Scorsese and they'll be rejuvenated, because this man has so much passion and love for the craft of filmmaking that it's impossible not to have it rub off on you. It's exhilarating to be around.

One should try to do everything that is required to make the body pure and radiant- regular exercise,self-study,etc. Anybody who does this is blessed with long-life and radiance.

One student who had taken a pill was feeling guilty about it and didn't want anybody to get hurt, so she turned herself in and then shared information about how she received the pill.

One play was the difference in the game, ... That shows you. We were 10-3 and whipped alot of people that year. That just goes to show you can't take anybody lightly.

No disrespect of anybody we've played, but the teams we've played are in rebuilding mode,

No doubt about it, (the number) was a disappointment, well below what we, or I think anybody else, expected, ... We'll probably be trimming our forecast for the second-quarter GDP now.

No, not right now. The service consumers want is not what the record labels are currently able to provide. Anybody who is satisfying consumer demand will have to be doing it outside of the sphere of the record labels.

One of our strengths is excellent team speed. That has to be our game; play small and not let anybody get too far in front.

One of the things that I like about this production coming to fruition is the concept that normal people can do. That anybody can be a dancer or a performer with something valid to contribute.

Money is about the best incentive there is for young families, for anybody really.

No one gave us a chance. I'm not sure there was anybody in our locker room that gave us a chance (either).

None of us wants to deny anybody the ability to read.

No one is more interesting to anybody than is that mysterious character we all call me, which is why self-liberation, self-actualization, self-transcendence, etc., are the most exciting games in town.

Of all ways to do a remake, ... I think Gus chose the most incredible way, because what he's saying is 'I honor you.' This is like more praise to Hitchcock than anybody who would take another film, and remake it, and try to make it different. Gus is saying, 'Not only am I not going to make it different, I'm going to honor you every step of the way.'

Of course, he's upset. But he couldn't blame anybody and didn't want to blame anybody. When he loses, he blames himself.

Of course not. I'm the commander. See, I don't have to explain why I say things ... I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation.
