Somewhere Quotations | Page 3

Somewhere deep inside me was the will and determination not only to live, but to be a more present mother for my kids, instead of one who was emotionally unavailable because she was in so much pain, as my own mother was.

My first audition as a little girl was 'Interview with the Vampire' for Kirsten Dunst's part. Back then, they were meeting all different kinds of girls, and I was one of them. There's got to be an audition tape somewhere on VHS. Who would have known that many years later I would be on a vampire show?

I refuse to be one of those artists who, 10 years from now, they're bitter about the rise and the fall of their career. I understand that somewhere there's a peak and a crest for me, and I'm going to enjoy all levels. I'm going to enjoy this ride that I'm on, and when it slows down, that's when it will be time for another phase of my life.

When I was a comic in the 1980s, I was on the road somewhere every day, and I'd get back to the hotel, and it was Carson and Letterman, and I looked forward to that all day.

There's an element to songwriting that I can't explain, that comes from somewhere else. I can't explain that dividing line between nothing and something that happens within a song, where you have absolutely nothing, and then suddenly you have something. It's like the origin of the universe.

I don't think that because you die and move on to somewhere else that you lose your sense of humor.

When I was a small boy, 10, 11, 12, probably somewhere around there, when I first heard a blues song on the radio, it was a jolt of electricity. It grabbed me by the throat, it made me shiver. And I knew from that moment that this was for me and this would be with me for the rest of my life.

Even with protection, even with death threats, I can publish, I can travel and I can live the life that I want and not the one my parents want or some imam somewhere thinks I should live.

What makes me furious, not just because we're in an interview, but I don't like when writers take your words and put them somewhere else, in the wrong context in their own article about you.

It seems like, to me, somewhere between 30 and 35 is a really, really good time to turn your eggs into babies.

For most of us, wisdom is acquired in the thicket of experience and usually meets us somewhere along the way if we live long enough. But sooner is better than later.

Somewhere in your career, your work changes. It becomes less anal, less careful and more spontaneous, more to do with the information that your soul carries.

You hear things about certain people. When you hear someone was mean to a limo driver or a wardrobe lady, or someone was rotten to a fan, somewhere in your brain it gets stuck.

I read somewhere once that in the 1960s, fiction writers were troubled by the notion that life was becoming stranger and more sensational than made-up stories could ever hope to be. Our new problem - more profound, I think - is that life no longer resembles a story. Events intersect but don't progress. People interact but don't make contact.

I was living at home until about 27 and decided it was time to move out and move somewhere else, so that's what I did. I wanted it to be the right thing to do. I didn't want to buy something out of my price range; I didn't want to be stupid with my money, so I decided to stay at home. Luckily, my mum and dad were amazing.

I think it's a problem when something's a dream because it'll never live up to your expectations. It's better to go somewhere thinking it'll be horrible, and then be pleasantly surprised.

I love sitting through long things. I mean, 'Gone With the Wind' I will sit through; I love sitting somewhere for four hours, for anything. I love being on a train. I love sitting down for four hours. I think it's the most wonderful thing to be able to sit somewhere and concentrate on something for more than two hours.

Most of us cluster somewhere in the middle of most statistical distributions. But there are lots of bell curves, and pretty much everyone is on a tail of at least one of them. We may collect strange memorabilia or read esoteric books, hold unusual religious beliefs or wear odd-sized shoes, suffer rare diseases or enjoy obscure movies.

Fame does lead to money, which I don't have a close relationship with. I'm the kind of guy who never sees the money - it all goes somewhere else. I don't understand it, I don't like to deal with it. I have a fear of not having it, because I grew up without it.

Every demo I do has a mandolin or resonator on it - some element of the bluegrass or classic country world that I grew up listening to and that first drew me in. And then I always try to find somewhere for a bluesy guitar sound, because that's also what I love. Musically, I'm always finding my way home.

Newspapers are not free and they never have been. They can appear to be so, but someone, somewhere is covering the costs whether that is through advertising, a patron's largesse or a license fee. Advertising is no longer subsidising the industry and so the cost must fall somewhere - why not on the people who use it?

I read somewhere that writers, as they get older, become more and more perfectionist. Which may be because they think more highly of themselves and they worry about their reputations. I think there's some truth to that.

The thing that always attracted me to New York was the sense of being in a place where a lot of people had a lot of stories not unlike mine. Everybody comes from somewhere else. Everyone's got a Polish grandmother, some kind of metamorphosis in their family circumstances. That's a very big thing - the experience of not living where you started.

It's been a concern of mine for years that the mainstream media coverage of culture and politics takes place in two nodes, Washington and New York, and yet all the voting goes on somewhere else.

I've got nothing against America, but I went over there a couple of times and didn't really like it. I mean, not that I like England that much, but it's somewhere to live.

I think about death all the time. I know there's nothing out there, but I'm curious. There's a 300 billion-to-one chance that there might be an energy that goes somewhere else, but I doubt it.

Rolf Ekeus, his appearance can deceive. He looks somewhere between an international diplomat and a mad professor. He's got that sort of shock of white hair and a slightly absent-minded way of speaking. But he's extremely sharp and very serious about power relationships.

I've been in Africa, America, moving around a lot. It's helped me to open up my mind. I was born in Jamaica; I've lived all my life there and got all I could from Jamaica. But I needed to be somewhere else to grow.

Explorers tend to be the aggressive types - why else would they risk scurvy, mutiny and other bad things to go out there? So, you could say that any aliens that are actually moving and interested in going somewhere are likely to be more aggressive. But who knows?

The next time you check your moves in the mirror and reflect on how special you are, consider that somewhere in this universe or in another parallel universe, your double might be doing the same. This would be the ultimate Copernican Revolution. Not only are we not special, we could be infinitely ordinary.

I don't know how anyone gets anything done in cities. How can you live somewhere like London or New York, when there are 81 things to do every night? Awful. Give me solitude and space any time.

My affairs here have not prospered and I am thinking of going somewhere else. Do you think Japan has anything to offer a man such as myself?

My art and poetry is very political now. Because you've got to find that truth within you and express yourself. Somewhere out there, I know, there will be people who will listen.

I was frozen in awe. I knew my family was somewhere in that sea of people. Between my family and friends, I had about 15 personal supporters.

One of the issues the city is facing, our sales tax revenue is so low on a per-capita basis - well below any other city in Whatcom County. People go somewhere else to buy things because of limited shopping opportunities in Ferndale.

Position by position this could be one of the best team's I've coached. We don't necessarily have one superstar to depend on. We have three or four players on the bench that could be starting somewhere else because there are not enough positions on the field.

On six, I got lucky. I had a gap, and I just tried to put the ball up there somewhere on the green. I had a shot to the green, I was just hoping I didn't catch a limb and it came out clean.

On some levels, our sport is self-policing in that if you make a mistake and get into someone, chances are they'll settle the score. It may not happen at the next race, or the one after, but somewhere down the road it all usually evens out.

I was pretty comfortable with how those guys were defending, and I thought we had pretty good ball movement. I didn't need to experiment or try anything else. I had great confidence in that group. I didn't start the game like I was going to play seven. Somewhere in there I said to myself I'm only playing seven.

I wish I could play somewhere in the division. I just want to play against the Packers. You have that revenge type thing.

I was taught, like I'm trying to teach my kids, to pick up after yourself. If you use something put it away when you're done. Those lessons never stuck when I was a kid. My parents tried to beat it into my head. Somewhere through that process I developed a passion for the environment.

I was seeded somewhere in the middle to the lower part of the final flight. I was hoping to get fourth or fifth. I popped out a 19-10 on my last jump and it held up. I can't complain about that.

I grew up playing the saxophone. I joined the jazz band in high school, but somewhere along the way I realized the guys who strummed acoustic guitars at parties were the ones who got the attention. So I asked a friend to show me a few chords, and when I moved to L.A. I spent a lot of time practicing my guitar.

I grew up there, and it seems like the best place to me - somewhere where you know everything. Where you know where all the roads go.

I guess I just have to hit the ball somewhere else. I had an opportunity hit some balls to score some runners tonight and I didn't do the job.

I would have thought somewhere between $10.50 and $11 a share would have been a better price before I saw the 4,000 net (customer) adds.

When I looked into it, there were several reasons (for the switch). The cost was one reason, we have a better chance of getting all our games in, and it gives our seniors somewhere else to go. Besides, I'm a Cub fan.

When I have sat at home with this God-given talent for music for a long time, somebody approaches me out of the blue and asks me to play for them. It's almost as though there's a force somewhere which is saying 'no sittin' around, out you go!

My father was from Northern Ireland, and coming from somewhere like that, your faith defines you. That's something we don't really understand outside Northern Ireland, but because of my parents and grandparents, I've experienced it.

My husband and I started dating when I started coaching in 1989, and he puts a card and a Snickers bar in my car. Even when he's out of town, he hides the card and Snickers bar somewhere in the house and then calls and tells me where it is.

My guess is we have people who have these beliefs here but they are not going to publicly demonstrate here as much as they would somewhere else.

My gut feeling is something good is going to happen. I don't know if it's going to happen here or somewhere else, but my gut feeling tells me I'm going to end up with a long-term deal, pretty much happy.

Life is lived in a circle. The dates keep coming back to you. People say, 'Move on.' But that implies a straight road taking you somewhere else. Nothing can take you out of the seasons of the years and the dates that recall your life. And since we were a happy family together, we had many happy days and those days are now sad days.

Life is not fair. You're one game away from a championship one year, the next year they let him go somewhere else. His coaching didn't change. You never want to be where you've proved you can win but there are still questions.

Some of it is we're playing a game Thursday night, and obviously he can't play. I thought he was really coming on, and I think he's a guy that somewhere down the road has a future.

Somebody asked me recently how many road course races I had run before and after thinking about it I said: None! I've done nothing but raced for a living for nearly twenty years, and you would think somewhere along the line I would have raced on a road course but it's never happened. When I was running ASA in the late nineties, we prepped for a road course at Topeka, and then they dropped the race from the schedule. Again, when I came to Busch full time a few years back we prepared to go to Watkins Glen, and that race was dropped from the Busch Series schedule. I guess the third time is a charm. I finally get to go road racing! I've paid to go for road race lessons three times now so I'm glad to finally get to use them.

Somebody is going to see (a bluebird) some place and somebody will see one a few days later somewhere else and then a week after that happens we get phone calls from all over the place. Usually that happens about the first week of March.

Oh, what I gotta say to you You got love Dont turn it down Turn it loud Let it build We got a long way to go But you, ya gotta start somewhere

Occasionally, I do get stopped somewhere because people have seen the video. Sometimes it'll surprise me. I'll have my hair under a beanie, hiding it, and I'll still get stopped. Which is really like, 'Whoa! You can't really see my face!' because I have a lot of hair.

Obviously, we'll be excited to have him, and we wanted him for a reason. He will give us not only good football play, but he'll give us great temperament and great toughness, I think, in the offensive line. That's somewhere you need to always have that.

One of the things plants look for when they locate, they want to be somewhere where they won't impact the water supply. They usually try to locate at places where there is plentiful water.

One roof over our head, somewhere to go to where we can say, that's home. That's all we need, is someone to care -- to care -- all we can grasp on is to hope.

One young man I spoke to said he was sitting eating lunch, and then found that he was somewhere else,

Morton's has been dealing with the same butchers for 25 years. All of the steaks are hand-cut so we can offer a consistent quality product. If you go somewhere else, you can look at six filets and they are different shapes and sizes. Not ours. Our filets and New York Strip are only center cut so you won't get a tail end. And they are the highest grade of prime. Morton's has never compromised quality.

Money is important. People here (in Indianapolis) don't mince words when they talk about a $10 million impact (on the local economy). We're not going to go somewhere where we have to take less money.

No one knows for sure what direction this is all going in, but they all know it's going somewhere that's definitely lucrative. The big networks are scrambling in their own ways to get it all together to make it work and avoid getting left behind. For the moment it's an unknown.

Of all the years we've played HF-L, this is the first time that we've controlled the game. Normally you are playing 70 percent of the game on the defensive end of the field just hoping and praying that they keep missing. Today we controlled it and had the better play. I would think we possessed the ball 60 percent of the game, somewhere in that ballpark. The kids have worked hard and they have the ability. Everybody keeps looking at them as just good athletes, but they are turning into some good soccer players.

My concern is how we fit it in. Those minutes have to come from somewhere and that means we either take it away from instruction programs or lengthen the school day. I prefer not to do it, but that doesn't seem to make much difference.

My curiosity was piqued, so I tried to get as many numbers from as many schools as I could. I don't want to be quoted as a guru or anything, but based on the numbers, if they don't move anybody up the cutoff is somewhere around 1,970 or 1,980 (for Class 5A).

My daddy, he was somewhere between God and John Wayne.

Maybe near the banyan trees. Somewhere downtown. We don't really have anything for the kids to do down there.

Poor on-time performance is the airlines' fault to the extent that people want to buy their products - the fares are ridiculously low. There's a highly competitive market that benefits consumers because they'll get somewhere cheaply. They just might not get there on time.

People who cashed out three or four years ago intending to buy back in at a lower price are still waiting. If you aren't moving somewhere where the cost of living is lower, big mistake.

Now that we're in a more open economy, and there's a lot more opportunity to get goods from overseas, if manufacturers are operating at full capacity, there's less likelihood that somebody will bid up prices at a domestic producer if they can get it somewhere else.

Obviously, Jacques gives us another bowling option, and he'll (also) give us a lot of stability somewhere in the batting order.

Obviously it's somewhere in the region of three billion to three billion plus that I think are the numbers we heard, and certainly I think we're all comfortable and aware of those numbers.

Phoenix is an interesting example. Drive around and see the golf courses everywhere, and you see people's big green lawns. And you live in a desert! I've always remarked about the capacity of human beings to look at somewhere and move there because of its uniqueness and its beauty and then change it.

Right now he has a contract. He intends to honor it, and I'm sure between now and April 1, I'll have discussions with the appropriate people. Larry's been there the last two years and done everything asked of him. He's made the Pro Bowl. He's not been a bad player. If they want to sign someone else instead of Larry and release him, he'll end up playing somewhere else. Players have only so many options.

Nobody ever texts me, because they know what I'm like. I'm a constant frustration to my children because I never switch my mobile phone on. I only use it when I need to make a call or when I'm stuck somewhere or lost, then I switch it off again. I've never texted anyone in my life, and I'm not sure I even know how to.

My friends say I make them laugh a lot, so I think that somewhere in me is a little comedic ability that comes out in the most inappropriate or unexpected moments. I did a lot of sketch comedy years ago. That's always in me.

My fear is that some of my players may have been sent off to stay somewhere else because their family took in some relatives, but I just don't know. That's minor in comparison. When I see the things that are going on in New Orleans my heart just aches.

My feeling was somewhere in the last couple of days it just didn't look like I would be involved, that I was going to be a consideration for the managerial position.

I don't know a whole lot of college graduates who are going to work a $10 temporary job. I know that they have to find people somewhere to grade them, but I would certainly hope that they would find professional readers, not just kids out of college that are looking for something to do.

I didn't really try to do too much, ... Just tried to hit it hard somewhere and found a hole up the middle.

I have found in my years of being in business that we are all a part of a computer chip somewhere and you just need to know what button to punch and your entire life flashes before your eyes.

I have enjoyed my time here, but after 18 years I think it is time for me to go somewhere else. For me to keep growing as a coach I need to get out of my comfort zone and this is a way to do that.

I'd like to think we can beat him somewhere down the road. We blew a lead in the league dual, but we never had the lead in this one. We'll go back and try to figure things out for next time.

I'd like to work with horses, but it doesn't pay very well. Maybe I'd like to go somewhere in the Middle East because they keep buying really nice horses for their Olympic teams - like, the Qataris.

I'd like to keep work work and life life. It means you've got your life to come back to, somewhere to come home to at night that isn't invaded by your day.

I'd like to meet you/ In a timeless placeless place/ Somewhere out of context/ And beyond all consequences.

I'd like to get stronger, ... I've also been working on my range. I'd like to be able to turn, square up and drive from somewhere near the foul line and not get the ball taken away.

I'd like to go Cup racing and Busch racing full time, but I've got to start somewhere and get my feet wet. The biggest question mark people have for me is, can I drive one of these cars? I'm doing one of each type of venue, hopefully try to do the best I can and maybe open up some doors.

I don't have classes on Friday, so my day begins as soon as I get out of class on Thursday at 4:15 p.m.. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but if I were to go somewhere it would probably be Atlanta.

I don't have much connection with the sense of history being made. Somewhere down the road, I'll put sense to it. Right now, I'm in the middle of it, focused on the game.

I have, I hope, a lot of compassion. I am certainly not an atheist. Maybe I am somewhere hovering between an agonistic and a believer.

If they want to do recycling, do it somewhere else, do it where there's no community. We don't want the big trucks running through the community like they have been.

If they want to go somewhere else, they are free to do so.

If they want to sign someone else instead of Larry and release him, he'll end up playing somewhere else. Players have only so many options.

I don't know when and where, but he will return to racing somewhere this year.

I don't know where Bush is going - yet. But, Sharon obviously - I wrote somewhere in the last several months, that Sharon has adopted, essentially, the position of the Labor Party: that the Palestinians are here to stay.
