Obviously, you make preparations before you engage in any meeting.
‐‐ John Bolton
Obviously, you need talent to do well in your sport, but I think hard work goes a long way. You need to be lucky within the sport too, though. In badminton, you can benefit from good draws and people getting injured.
‐‐ Rajiv Ouseph
Obviously, you're known for what you do. But you still want to be known as a good person. You're a person a lot longer before and after you're a professional athlete.
‐‐ Derek Jeter
Obviously, you're trying to peel through 20 centuries of theology, speculations, church doctrine and storytelling. I'm trying to get back to the absolute basic story of who was Jesus, what did he say, what was he teaching, and what did he do.
‐‐ Jay Parini
Obviously you try to keep as much of your private life as private as you can.
‐‐ Andy Murray
Obviously, you've never seen a woman skydiving in a hoop skirt.
‐‐ Chris A. Bridges
Obviously ,you want to demand the puck; you want to have it as much as you can because you feel like good things can happen when it's on your stick.
‐‐ Patrick Kane
Obviously, you want to help the team win in any way possible. If that's scoring goals, great.
‐‐ Patrick Kane
Obviously, you will always see more malware targeting Android because Android is used more than any smartphone platform by a pretty substantial difference.
‐‐ Sundar Pichai
Obviously, you would give your life for your children, or give them the last biscuit on the plate. But to me, the trick in life is to take that sense of generosity between kin, make it apply to the extended family and to your neighbour, your village and beyond.
‐‐ Tom Stoppard
Obviously, your family life is the priority, but there's still other stuff you have to get done in a day. I think the way I make it work is by taking care of myself, and that includes fitness and eating right and all those things, but also by being very organized and punctual.
‐‐ Cindy Crawford
Occasionally, a re-enactment is a fine thing. I love Civil War re-enactments.
‐‐ John Lydon
Occasionally a roast master needs to get out of Dodge.
‐‐ Jeff Ross
Occasionally a student writer comes up with something really beautiful and moving, and you won't know for years if it was an accident or the first burst of something wonderful.
‐‐ Howard Nemerov
Occasionally, a young catcher is born with a backup's soul. Bob Montgomery was on the Red Sox opening day roster for the entire 1970s, yet he never had more than 254 at-bats in a season.
‐‐ Stephen Rodrick
Occasionally, chewing over some random letter writer's dilemma, I'll find myself imagining scenarios where the problem could be sidestepped by an innocent fib or series of evasive manoeuvres. Then, I slap myself on the wrist.
‐‐ Lynn Coady
Occasionally, Donald Trump says something that is politically incorrect but which also happens to be true.
‐‐ Peter L. Bergen
Occasionally, family members treat each other with less courtesy and kindness than they do acquaintances or even strangers.
‐‐ Joseph B. Wirthlin
Occasionally, fans will ask me to go on their shoulders, and we'll do a sort of Hodor and Bran thing. That's always good fun. But one guy did it, and he really wasn't an expert at picking people up, and I was kind of going sideways on his back holding onto his neck, and then I sort of fell off. But that was fun.
‐‐ Isaac Hempstead Wright
Occasionally, human beings are briefly de-animated, and the stories of people who are briefly de-animated that interest me the most are those having to do with the cold.
‐‐ Mark Roth
Occasionally I do things against my inner voice, but you really should go for the thing that touches you most-even if you don't quite know why it does.
‐‐ Alan Bates
Occasionally I find a travel book that is both illuminating and entertaining, where vivid writing and research replace self-indulgence and sloppy prose.
‐‐ Arthur Smith
Occasionally I get messages from women saying that I've brought them some joy, and that's unbelievably thrilling.
‐‐ Gwendoline Christie
Occasionally I go shopping for clothes, but I find the whole thing a real chore.
‐‐ Catherine McCormack
Occasionally, I hanker for the time when I sold more records, but I don't sit and drool about it. When I do look at early footage of Talking Heads, I realise I was just a wreck.
‐‐ David Byrne
Occasionally I have come across a last patch of snow on top of a mountain in late May or June. There's something very powerful about finding snow in summer.
‐‐ Andy Goldsworthy
Occasionally, I have time to go to the theater, and I think for a minute, 'Man, I'd really love to be doing a play right now.' Because I loved doing plays when I was doing them. Then I think, 'I want to do it right now, but will I want to do that Sunday matinee in six weeks?'
‐‐ Stephen Lang
Occasionally, I have to think like myself to remember where I put something.
‐‐ Susan L. Taylor
Occasionally, I hear grumbles about everything being a series or a trilogy, but apart from the question of them maybe selling more books, I think that there's a real problem in trying to introduce a new world or a new concept while also getting your reader to pay close attention to your characters and themes.
‐‐ Ann Leckie
Occasionally, I just need to escape from my work or be reminded of the comparative bliss of my own life, so I pick up a novel.
‐‐ David Macaulay
Occasionally I'll be a producer for hire on a larger budget movie, but with Blumhouse Pictures, we mainly focus on micro-budget, under-$5-million-dollar movies. That's what we're in business to do, and that's what we're in business to make.
‐‐ Jason Blum
Occasionally, I'll be on the Internet and see something about me and give in to the urge to click on it. It's hard not to. Usually, I wish I didn't.
‐‐ Carrie Underwood
Occasionally, I'll direct if there's something I feel strongly about. Having done it has whetted my appetite to do it again, but I don't feel an internal pressure to direct. It certainly will make me a better producer, because I'm more empathetic; I really appreciate now what the director is going through every day.
‐‐ Stanley R. Jaffe
Occasionally I'll watch Fox News for as long as I can tolerate it, or CNN. I'll watch until I get infuriated, but you got to know what they're talking about and what they're not talking about.
‐‐ David Cross
Occasionally, I make waffles for breakfast for any employee who wants to talk to me. I make them around 8 A.M. as an incentive for people to show up early.
‐‐ David Ulevitch
Occasionally I've seen children become heavy-handed and insensitive when dealing with their aging parents, and it only caused resentment and hard feelings.
‐‐ Billy Graham
Occasionally I volunteer in the kitchen of a pop-up supper club in L.A., which I really love. It's like being a line cook in a great restaurant for one night at a time.
‐‐ Lauren Kate
Occasionally I will audition for a big overseas movie, but that's it.
‐‐ Nicole Trunfio
Occasionally, I will come across something that has lost its label over the years - maybe the client didn't want to declare the dress at customs and took the label out - but I'll recognize it from an image that I've seen in Vogue, or a little thumbnail sketch.
‐‐ Hamish Bowles
Occasionally, I would focus on a particular school project and become obsessed with, what seemed to my mother, to be trivial details instead of apportioning the time I spent on school work in a more efficient way.
‐‐ Steven Chu
Occasionally, if I am very confident in the establishment, I'll risk an egg salad on Dutch crunch, but I must be very confident indeed.
‐‐ Gail Carriger
Occasionally, if I'm in a rut, I find changing location helps.
‐‐ Matt Mullenweg
Occasionally if you do something extraordinary, the crew responds with spontaneous applause, but that's very rare.
‐‐ Claudia Christian
Occasionally it does hit me, the words on a page. And I still love doing that, as I have for the last 60 years.
‐‐ Harold Pinter
Occasionally it's been a long and bumpy road - one I'm still travelling - but I've always felt like my home town has been solidly behind me and I'm both grateful and proud.
‐‐ Simon Armitage
Occasionally people ask me how it is I write different types of things, and my answer to that is it's very natural. You get bored writing one kind of thing all the time.
‐‐ Matthew Tobin Anderson
Occasionally people will look at me and do a double take and they'll look at me like they're trying to think where they know me from.
‐‐ Nicholas Hoult
Occasionally projects just take off unexpectedly, sometimes you can work away at sketches and ideas for years before they are published. There are a number of authors I would be eager to illustrate.
‐‐ John Howe
Occasionally, some brother sings very earnestly through his nose, often disturbing those around him, but it does not matter how the voice sounds to the ears of man. What is important is how the heart sounds to the ears of God.
‐‐ Charles Spurgeon
