After an era of everything being super-sized, who would have thought that major companies would be racing to market smaller, lower-calorie versions of their snacks and beverages - from half-sized candy bars to little, mini soda cans? We see it everywhere we go.
I got fired from being a lunch-shift bartender because I had a reading of a play.
I wouldn't recommend being a musician to anyone. It's not glamorous. It's a lot of being dirty, not eating, playing for five people and one of them is the bartender.
Obviously, being a first baseman, you're kind of expected to hit some home runs. Obviously, that goes into your head; it gets into my head a little bit.
I don't plan on being bashful.
I had watched Magic my whole career, even before my career, and so I knew the style of player that he was, and I knew what I had to do to prohibit him from being as effective on the basketball court as he had been throughout his career.
Being an actor is like being a bass player: one of the component parts to the collective hole.
Bath twice a day to be really clean, once a day to be passably clean, once a week to avoid being a public menace.
Courts are supposed to be places of reason. But this, of course, is a fantasy. I mean, there is reason being used as a technique. But courts, in fact, are baths of emotions.
The battalion, the whole battalion was affected by the two killed just within a week of being there, and I think that that pulled everybody up to make them realise that this was a very serious business.
I'm not a proponent of staying together and being miserable and damaged and coming through actually a more battered person.
For me, a career highlight was being on 'Battlestar Galactica.' Roles like that don't come along very often.
It's a lot of wonderful things about the Bay area and Oakland that I absolutely love. I wouldn't change being from there by any stretch.
I'll take being on Baywatch over being Prom Queen any day.
I dislike the concept of 'chic' being the highest compliment for a human being. I'd rather someone be nice than to be chic.
Be original; don't be scared of being bold!
Horrors, I believe, should be original - the use of common myths and legends being a weakening influence.
I realized that with African American people, where we've been blocked from being all that God meant for us to be, I don't have time to be patient.
If a hurricane strikes, we can blame the president for not being there; we can blame Congress and FEMA; we can blame the state governments; but in the end, it's the mayors and the local city governments that have to be prepared for emergencies and be prepared to act.
I will be the first to admit that getting votes and getting an audience are two different things. For example, a politician really can't be elected if he's hated by half the people. A talk show host, however, can be an overwhelming national phenomenon while being hated by half the people.
