In my era of wrestling, there were no guaranteed contracts, so it was inherent that you draw the crowd in to make money.
‐‐ Jesse Ventura
In my era, where I'm from, I only had Donald Whiteside. He's from Englewood and he's the only one that came out of Englewood. Other than him, I really didn't have anyone else to look up to that was from my area. So in seeing him, I never gave up hope, just kept playing and then I realized that I might have a future in basketball.
‐‐ Derrick Rose
In my estimation, the only thing that is more to be guarded against than bad taste is good taste.
‐‐ Russell Lynes
In my estimation, there should always be a mixture of economic liberalism - which means small government, a great emphasis on markets - but also a certain degree of social conservatism, not to favor change unless that change is beneficial. So I describe myself as an economic liberal and a social conservative.
‐‐ John Howard
In my everyday life, I just wear jeans, t-shirts and trainers - if I can go barefoot, that's even better. But for the events I have a stylist, and in two hours we have selected a whole outfit.
‐‐ Penelope Cruz
In my everyday life, I'm a jeans and button-up shirt kind of guy.
‐‐ James Wolk
In my everyday life I'm a little bit nervous and not particularly brave. I feel like if I can be completely brave in my work then I'm doing something right.
‐‐ Emily Browning
In my everyday life, I'm pretty normal.
‐‐ Miranda Lambert
In my experience a painting is not made with colors and paint at all. I don't know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint?
‐‐ Philip Guston
In my experience, adults rarely bother reading the reviews of children's books and almost never read the books themselves - particularly if they don't have children.
‐‐ Meg Rosoff
In my experience an appreciative letter from a fellow writer means a lot.
‐‐ Ian Mcewan
In my experience, and that of a lot of other women writers, all of the questions coming at them from interviewers tend to be about how lucky they are to be where they are - about luck and identity and how the idea struck them.
‐‐ Eleanor Catton
In my experience, as a young black artist, you have to fulfill an archetype, or be a token - and I was unwilling to do that.
‐‐ Solange Knowles
In my experience as CEO, I found that the most important decisions tested my courage far more than my intelligence.
‐‐ Ben Horowitz
In my experience, being busy and working hard is the key to sanity/happiness.
‐‐ Jemima Khan
In my experience, copy editors, like the stalwart staff I've worked with and learned from in my 34 years at 'TIME,' are linguistic conservatives - the keepers of the flame ignited by the Strunk-White 'Elements of Style,' published in full in 1957 and chosen by 'TIME' as one of the 100 most influential nonfiction books of the past century.
‐‐ Richard Corliss
In my experience, depression was not something that has been cured so much as managed, like a lot of illnesses.
‐‐ Graham Moore
In my experience, divorce takes you out for about 10 years, but you hear people talk about it lightly. The same with depression. You only have to have one good breakdown before you realize you need help. It's pretty frightening.
‐‐ Julia Cameron
In my experience, endorsements by public officials, they don't count for anything.
‐‐ John Cornyn
In my experience, great reviews almost always ensure no sales.
‐‐ Padgett Powell
In my experience, growing up in Brooklyn and all that, the real tough guys didn't act tough. They didn't talk tough. They were tough, you know? I think about these politicians who try to pose as tough guys - it makes me laugh.
‐‐ Pete Hamill
In my experience, honesty is the best policy. And being a friend to somebody is not always the best way to help them.
‐‐ Jillian Michaels
In my experience (I am the lone father of an eight-year-old boy who lost his mother when he was one year old), parenting is the most difficult of all jobs: forget your chief executives, editors, prime ministers and the like - parenting is far more challenging.
‐‐ Martin Jacques
In my experience, if people don't have a sense of humor, they are usually not very good scientists, either.
‐‐ Andre Geim
In my experience, if you have to keep the lavatory door shut by extending your left leg, it's modern architecture.
‐‐ Nancy Banks Smith
In my experience in series TV, if you have a good crew and a great cast, it's going to be a great group - similar to the theater where it's a bunch of people who are really talented and go to work each day and challenge each other, and if you are lucky enough to get a hit then it's five or six or seven years of this kind of work.
‐‐ Denis Leary
In my experience, in this industry, the things that have been breakthrough have all been about connecting human beings to each other, communicating with each other.
‐‐ Renee James
In my experience, it is rarer to find a really happy person in a circle of millionaires than among vagabonds.
‐‐ Thor Heyerdahl
In my experience, it's all wonderful with girls until about 16. Around that time, boys kind of calm down and start focusing their testosterone. Girls get a little challenging, especially for fathers.
‐‐ Tim Allen
In my experience it's not essential to get on with the person that you're acting opposite.
‐‐ Hugh Dancy
In my experience, it's not just that serious books get a hearing on comedy shows. But serious books get a serious hearing, as well as a funny one, on comedy shows.
‐‐ Michael Mandelbaum
In my experience, it's usually up to the actor how a character is portrayed.
‐‐ Richard Dreyfuss
In my experience lust only ever leads to misery. All that suspicion and jealousy and anguish it unleashes. I don't want those things in my life.
‐‐ Chrissie Hynde
In my experience, many people confuse being cowardly with being nice.
‐‐ Robert Kiyosaki
In my experience, men are not necessarily less sensitive or compassionate than women are, and women are not necessarily any less aggressive or competitive than men are - as a matter of fact, often they are more so!
‐‐ Andrew Cohen
In my experience, most federal prosecutors, at every level, are seeking to make a name for themselves, and the best way to do that is by prosecuting some high-level person. While companies that are indicted almost always settle, individual defendants whose careers are at stake will often go to trial.
‐‐ Jed S. Rakoff
In my experience, nice guys are boring, and bad guys are fun to play.
‐‐ Tom Everett Scott
In my experience, not just in shooting films but in the commercials I've done, initially, it's very exciting for the community, and its a real novelty. Very quickly, though, they realize there's a buck to be had, and it becomes annoying, and they lose their patience pretty quick.
‐‐ John Curran
In my experience of living, for a time, in the underbelly of society, I spent a lot of time in various holding cells.
‐‐ Natasha Lyonne
In my experience of these things, parties which shout about dirty tricks and the like tend to do so because they fear a direct hit in some vulnerable part of their political anatomy.
‐‐ Peter Mandelson
In my experience, people are usually fired for reasons having to do with budgetary constraints, incompetence or not fulfilling the terms of a contract.
‐‐ Michael Shermer
In my experience, poor people are the world's greatest entrepreneurs. Every day, they must innovate in order to survive. They remain poor because they do not have the opportunities to turn their creativity into sustainable income.
‐‐ Muhammad Yunus
In my experience, psychotherapy at its best is like dual meditation - it's like a container in which you can be compassionate and mindful toward yourself.
‐‐ Jack Kornfield
In my experience, scientists are not always the most socially adjusted people, and may have habits and fascinations outside of their work that others might consider odd.
‐‐ Nathaniel Rich
In my experience, 'SNL' has Lorne Michaels, who is, you know, the captain of the ship and gives the show direction and a singular focus, whereas 'MadTV' - even in my 13 episodes there - had maybe one too many cooks and was a bit more chaotic creatively.
‐‐ Taran Killam
In my experience sometimes the darker the material that you're doing, the more necessary it is to have some sort of levity around. I've worked on more lighthearted pieces that have been more brutal and tougher to make.
‐‐ Nick Stahl
In my experience, staying in a marriage that my ex and I both agreed had all its best moments behind it was epically depressing.
‐‐ Ariel Gore
In my experience, take the Holy Spirit out of the equation of your life and it spells boring. Add it into the equation of your life and you never know where you are going to go, what you are going to do, or who you are going to meet.
‐‐ Mark Batterson
In my experience, there are only two valid reasons to take a company public: access to growth capital and investor fatigue.
