Beating Quotations

My God, he looks like he's beating a chicken.

The money was going to come and go, between a wife and the IRS. The thrill of beating the best field in golf is what will always stay with me.

I am such a tomboy. I grew up fighting with boys, mainly - beating up boys, actually.

When I was a kid, I was more interested in beating up boys on the playground than practicing music.

I did 'Kidulthood' and 'Adulthood,' and that's what people wanted and expect me to always do. They want me to do 'hood films and be the guy swinging baseball bats and saying 'Yo Blood' and beating up others in the street.

I haven't done as many films as I would have liked. A lot of my contemporaries have done more. I don't have 'I will be a movie star' emblazoned on anything, but I'd like do a bit more screen stuff and then when the time is right come back to theatre. When it is good, theatre takes a lot of beating both to watch and perform.

If you have pendulum clocks on the wall and start them all at different times, after a while the pendulums will all swing in synchronicity. The same thing happens with heart cells in a Petri dish: They start beating in rhythm even when they're not touching one another.

'Aladdin' was probably my favorite Disney animation when I was a kid. The animation was great and Robin Williams was unbelievable as the Genie. 'Aladdin' was an amazing adventure and the lead character was a hero for guys, which I loved. It wasn't a princess or a girl beating the odds; it was a street rat. That seemed really cool to me.

I wasn't a good student in high school. I wanted to go to college, but they weren't exactly beating down my door to offer me admission, and it's so expensive in the U.S. If you join up for a period, the army will pay your school and provide a stipend.

I was always fast; I was always racing guys that were older than me and beating them, so I always had speed. I was able to make good cuts at a young age, on the side of the house with my dad, going through different plays, working on cuts and stuff like that.

My favorite memory is, as a freshman, going to Carolina and beating them. Going over there and winning on their court. I think that was the only time I did win on their court.

For people who are at the bottom economically, the world is becoming a harder and harder place. And yet the incentives to become rich are so great because enormous amounts of wealth are being accumulated. And so those two things, that carrot and stick, are beating people along this trajectory of trying desperately to move up in the world.

Sometimes the challenge of beating the jet lag and getting a decent sleep can be as hard to solve as finding the right setup for the car!

Beating cancer is personal battle. It was one of the toughest opponents I have faced so far, and I think I did reasonably well. Touch wood.

Some prescient American collectors, including Vicki and Kent Logan and Mera and Donald Rubell, began collecting Chinese art before 2000 with a genuine passion, but as the auction prices exploded everyone was beating a path to the galleries and artist studios in China. It became the 'China thing.'

I was in high school. A couple of my friends and I decided we had to be in a class together where we could fool around, and drama was it because we'd do improvs, beating each other up. They left a year later, and I stayed in and got a knack for it, and enjoyed the whole process.

Your voice is vibrant for only a certain part of your life. There are some records I've always wanted to make, and I don't know if I want to waste this time beating on the door of the charts.

There is no doubt that online shopping has fed the craze for speed, because when you can't touch the fabric or try on the outfit, the only emotion you experience is the excitement of the purchase and the thrill of beating everyone else to it.

It's weird when auditioning for roles, because a lot of my mates go out for the same roles. You don't want to know that you're beating someone to the role.

I have the greatest job in the world. I get paid loads of cash for beating the crap out of people. And I'm very good at it.

Playing football and rugby is the Samoan sport. It's part of the conversation at church. It's part of the conversation in their barbershops, in the grocery stores. It's what everyone is aware of and familiar with. They take a lot of pride in the beating you can take in the course of that sport.

To have my mind racing and my heart beating fast over glorious possibilities is very close to the summit of life experience for me.

When it is good, theatre takes a lot of beating both to watch and perform.

I've been on 'Criminal Minds' twice! On the first show, a boy brought kids out to the woods and was beating them with a baseball bat, but I got away. Then they brought Tracy, my character, back - as a kidnapped girl. They saved me two times! Tracy lived!

When you have beaten guys a few times, you don't want them to think they know how you are going to play them. You have to try and find different ways of beating them. You have to do things they don't expect sometimes, put something unpredictable into your game.

We watch a lot of Discovery Channel, shows like 'The Biggest Loser' and even 'Amazing Race.' You learn a lot about the world, it's fun and nobody's interested in beating anybody down. And then the opposite: I'm a huge fan of 'Survivor.'

Anyone can go out on stage and start beating people over the head with rubber chickens. That'll get people's attention.

I like a deep sports massage - a casual beating up. I try to get them whenever I can, usually more if I'm getting in shape for a role.

For me, trying to articulate the world to help people see it in a way they haven't seen it before is hugely important. Sometimes, you have to take something that is completely inexplicable and say, 'Look, here is the beating heart of something you must understand.'

Then again, my case was all about the misappropriation of source code because I wanted to become the best hacker in the world and I enjoyed beating the security mechanisms.

The 'Downward Spiral' album was a record all about beating everybody up - and then 'Hurt' was like a coda saying maybe I shouldn't have done that. But to make the song sound impenetrable because I thought it was a little too vulnerable, I tried to layer it in noise.

Morehead State was only averaging about maybe 60 or 63 points a game. Once we scored 70, you knew they were going to have a hard time beating us. We had 70 points with probably ten minutes to go in the game.

Musicians today have gotten used to Protools, which I hate. You can go into the studio and not even be a musician, just start beating on stuff and they can take parts out of it, move it around and then you can sound like Slash. If you want some kind of weird feedback effect in the middle of a guitar solo, now they can just fly it in. You don't have to sit there and work at it like you did back in the day.

One thing I'll say here. I'm not going to waste my time talking about negative things. We won a ballgame 9-8. I'm not here to start beating on people, especially the people that, if we expect to win, are going to get us there.

I was so intent as a young lawyer on beating the men at their own game that I didn't take any real maternity leave with my three younger children. It is only looking back that I realise I wasn't beating the system but reinforcing it.

I was so pleased we won, because it was the only time I think we were able to win on senior night. At the same time, anytime you can beat a coach Knight team, there's always an added sense of pleasure, because you're competing against and beating the best of all-time. I think you get more satisfaction out of it, because of how successful Knight's been and all the games he's won.

If we get through, beating Bloomingdale is going to be a reward. I think because we played in 4A the last two years, we didn't get as much credit, and now I think we're getting that respect from the other teams in the county that we had before.

I grew up in space times. In seventh grade, my teacher said we had to do math and science because the Russians were beating us in the space race. It was a real catalyst. I wish we had something like that today.

I wouldn't mind playing Kentucky and beating them three times.

When the IPO market tapers off, the more speculative types of issues tend to take a bigger beating than those more

We had a very talented team at Aragon last year, ... but beating Serra with everything they had going for them was something.

We had a very tough schedule right out of the box. We haven't performed that well. Defensively, we have been very strong. We had a flash of offense in the Cooper City game. We took a beating against Everglades and lost to St. Thomas and as far as I am concerned we should have won two of the games.

My heart is going to have to stop beating before I stop playing.

Like everyone, there are times when I just don't feel like exercising. When that happens, I'm a bit more careful with my diet. But on days I really want a treat, like chocolate, I work out a little harder. I don't believe in beating myself up for not being 'good.'

So many times in my matches, especially when I was coming up and I was really, really young and not having the experience, I was sometimes beating myself and not really playing the opponent.

Oh yes, Ed prefers to think he beat himself rather than somebody else beating him. He thanked me for saying that.

Odessa High's the hottest team in the state. They've got everything going, they're playing good defense. They're spreading people out with their offense and beating people.

Obviously, when you can defend your title it shows how good of an athlete you are. And to do it by beating the No. 1 seed is impressive.

Obviously, we have a great rivalry with them. Historically, we enjoy playing each other. There's no love lost between the two of us. There is a great deal of respect for both clubs, for each other. But at the same time, we enjoy beating each other. It'll be an emotional series like it always is as well as a good series.

One of the things I pointed out to the guys was that it was a good win against Phoenix, but if we turn around and go to Charlotte and lose that ballgame, then beating Phoenix the night before doesn't really mean anything. Our guys were focused enough to come into the building and get a W.

One of the things I told the team was we have to protect our home floor. Beating Rice and Houston, two of the best teams in the conference, was important for our confidence. We're starting to jell at the right time.

One year, we purchased pulse rate monitors, because we teach the children early on how to monitor their heart rate. When they are really young, we show them how to put their hand on their chest and feel their heart beat, and experience their hearts beating faster or slower. As they get older, they can use the wristband heart monitor to monitor their pulse while they are exercising. The idea is that you want to get the heart rate up to a certain level when you exercise to really get an aerobic benefit from it.

No one could have imagined 30 years ago that vehicles categorized as trucks would be the most common passenger vehicles on the road today. It's amazing what the auto companies can do. They have found lots of innovative ways of meeting the letter, but beating the spirit, of regulations.

My heart's been beating like 90, really nervous, really upset, really upset.

My heart was beating about the same. Everything was about the same. I had a plan, and luckily the plan went right.

(Moore) has an unbelievably tough job because he's an inside linebacker, so he's in on almost every play, and he's played a lot at fullback so he's taken a beating there. He's been quietly plugging away, but he's also a difference-maker. He's made big plays every game on both sides of the ball. He's extremely fast, and just a great football player.

More important than playing him one-on-one, the key is group coverage. If we play as a team, don't leave any gaps, play tightly together, and fall back well, I'm positive they'll have lots of trouble beating us.

Of course, any time he didn't cooperate with them, they would grab him and start beating him again.

Needless to say, we're very happy. I'm very proud of these young ladies. They took a beating from me over those eight games that we lost. It's great for them to get some success.

Obviously, beating Tech is important, but just playing good was important. Moreau was outstanding, and we played a complete game.

Obviously, I don't get crazy after beating her, but she meant a lot to me when I played in high school. So, it's always fun to come back and be able to keep in touch.

People were concerned that we hadn't been tested. We're tested every day in training. We train at a high level and all I want to see is the transfer of that training to game day. I don't think we get confidence from beating (No. 1) Nebraska. We get confidence in our gym.

New seasonal fashions brought out many apparel shoppers beating our sales expectations for some specialty apparel retailers. Overall, the industry is getting better at fixing short-term merchandising missteps, and October's cooler weather certainly brought out favorable reaction from many shoppers.

I'd lock myself in my room and take out my frustration by beating my drums.

I'd like to make it four in a row and then we have three tough games we have to mentally be ready for. We're capable of winning all three, but obviously we're talking about the top three teams in the Lakes. Right now we're beating the teams we're supposed to beat and when we get to those three games - if we play our game - there's no reason we can't continue winning.

I'd like to prove a point that our league is better than any other league. The only way to do that is by going out and beating a quality Big 12 team.

I don't have a problem with him being held accountable. But when it is brought up and repeated, it is like beating a dead horse.

I don't know that it's a rivalry -- it's a lot of support. We don't talk about one beating another. We kind of push each other to keep training.

If we play like this more often, I really like our postseason chances. Every time people start to count us out, we rally and show what kind of team we can be. This win in this building, two games after beating Dallas, absolutely gives us a confidence boost coming down the stretch.

If we play with the type of tempo that we did in the first half, then we're going to be tough to beat. We were really hustling and beating them to the ball. In the second half they really upped the pressure on us and we had to adjust. But this win is great for our kids. They have been so consistent all season and have really worked hard.

Last year we didn't have the most explosive start. This time we got a pretty good start and hopefully we can keep it going. Everyone is hitting the ball real well. The team is absolutely crushing the ball. We haven't had a game where nobody is hitting the ball. Everyone is getting line shots or beating out ground balls.

Looming on the horizon is Rifle. I think it's unlikely that any of the boys are going to get Andy Banner's (single-season scoring) record this year. But, they have a chance to do something that last year's team didn't do by beating Rifle on the road.

We're not doing the job, and they are. That's a classy team and a good team. They're beating us right now.

We need to play better. There's no doubt about that. Anybody's capable of beating anybody in this conference. I think sometimes people don't believe that, but it's very true.

Losing to Columbia and barely beating a few other Ivy teams is unacceptable, so we are all a little upset with the finish. Still, the scores were bunched and we were only 12 shots out of first, so it's not like we are too far off.

Mt. Carmel is a good team, so beating them is big for us.

My kids feel vindicated. Losing the dual meet to Valley was rough. They weren't too good of sports after beating us, and my kids didn't forget that.

Mitchell's two dives were real tough. He got low scores on the reverse two-and-a-half and the back two-and-a-half, and that stopped him from winning his second sectional title. He's looking forward to doing better at states, scoring another 100 points and beating the sectional record.

Since the school opened up (in Sept. 2000) the grass has never had the proper time to establish itself and completely fill in. The constant beating these fields have undergone is beginning to deteriorate them badly and immediate actions need to be taken to remedy this situation.

She really had a great kick today. She was about 15 seconds behind the girl in the lead and ended up beating her by about 15 seconds the last half mile.

She opened the door and the lady pushed her way in and the lady started kicking her in the face and kicking her and beating her.

She has an uncanny sense for beating people to a spot.

Loyola is playing extremely tough, after recently beating the University of Oregon. Their line-up is really strong at the top. We are playing well and I am confident it will be a hard-fought match.

Silver will be tough. We will have to play well on our home course, because Silver has the capability of beating us. They are a good golf team.

She was just trying to get me away from there so they would stop beating me.

She was capable of beating both girls, but she made a few more mistakes.

We've never beaten Alfred-Almond before. It's been a real nice week for my girls after beating Addison. The girls worked hard and they deserved everything they've gotten this week.

We've never been a Top 20 team, at least not yet. Don't get carried away with beating Louisville. Any win in the Big East is great, but I wouldn't use it as a barometer.

I hate playing a team three times in the same year. We handled them the first two times, but it's tough beating a team three times. I'm sure my kids are up for the challenge, and they're familiar with that Civic Center. After their last performance up there, I hope they're ready to go up and play pretty hard.

I have a ton of respect for them. They are really good. But this league is also really balanced and at a conference tournament on a neutral floor, anyone is capable of beating anyone.

Guillermo is a born fighter, he'll overcome this. But beating the number nine in the world means a lot for my game.

He is very talented young fighter and I strongly believe he's capable of beating all his opponents.

This was a good series for us. Arkansas State has a nice ball club and they have shown they are capable of beating good teams. They gave us a tussle this weekend, and today we had to make some plays and pitch well.

I am very excited about this World Cup. With the blend of quality, youth and experience we have in our squad, we are confident of beating any opponent.

I am so happy for this group of girls because they have taken a beating from me during our losing streak. They have played hard every minute of every game in this tournament.

I can't remember my team giving up 91 points in this building. It's unacceptable. We're not beating anybody giving up 91 points, and that's what upsets me more than anything. It's not so much that we lost, but how we lost. I didn't think we went down with a fight. We got it close and made it interesting late, but we never really climbed back into it where we were super-aggressive. We never got into the attack mode.

I can't retire after this year. I could, but I can't because I'm not going to let this game get the better of me. I am beating this game. I am not going to go out sour. I've had too many great times in this game. I'm not going out sour. I'm going to go out on my terms, not the game's terms.

I can't find any forecaster in this country who forecast the industry running this strong, ... It's got a chance of beating the 1986 record year, and I think we're on track to do just that.

i forgot to ask how's your husband Mrs O" "oh, he's dead miss babs" "how terrible, how?" "his heart stopped beating
