I’m pretty over swimming, guys.

The story was such that I couldn’t make a graceful ending and then make a graceful new beginning. I could have, but I didn’t want to. So, it isn’t the most graceful way of writing a story. This new story is, I think, is pretty good stuff. I’m pleased with it anyway.

There’s something really charming about a character that is fundamentally flawed and does some pretty despicable things, but yet you still kind of love him.

For me, I like to be a little bit tomboy but still look like a lady. Pretty tough. Or really, really, really pretty.

I grew up with pretty much nothing – in the hood, the ghetto – whatever you want to call it.

Maori get pigeonholed into the idea they’re spiritual and telling stories like ‘Whale Rider‘ and ‘Once Were Warriors,’ quite serious stuff, but we’re pretty funny people, and we never really have had an opportunity to show that side of ourselves, the clumsy, nerdy side of ourselves, which is something I am.

My parenting philosophy pretty much boils down to this: I love my kids; I tolerate yours. Mine just make common, age-appropriate mistakes – phases, let’s call them – while your kids are completely undisciplined and probably need counseling.

When I’m working, I’m pretty busy with that, but when I’m not, yeah, I like to make music. I sing in jazz bars and stuff, and then I mainly paint every day.

I’m gonna be pretty honest; there wasn’t a lot of improv allowed on ‘Eclipse.’

I think that ‘Saving Grace‘ is pretty funny. I think that the show and the woman have a pretty great sense of humor.

People are pretty because they’re nice, and they care about other people, and they have a good heart. That’s what makes you pretty, and I didn’t know that at one point in my life.

New York is actually a pretty safe place, and I think invoking the Bronx as a metaphor for the nightmarish urban environment is no longer spot on.

Yeah, we shot ourselves in the foot right out of the gate. The guy who ran it at first misled pretty much everybody about how much capital we had. He said we had enough to go three years without making money, and we had enough to go three weeks.

I’ve been pretty lucky. Every single thing I’ve done has meant so much to me and has been like a stepping stone to something different.

At one point, I was in a place where it didn’t feel like it was going to happen, and I was feeling pretty down on myself. But I stuck to it, and now I have a hit comedy on my hands. You’ve got to keep plugging away at it. If you really believe in yourself, you can definitely make it happen.

Zachary Knighton
I’m pretty much an isolated person. I’d rather stay home and play video games.

Sometimes, things just fall into your lap, and that’s pretty incredible.

It’s pretty hard to be efficient without being obnoxious.

I like to think I’m pretty smart with what I was able to do academically, but whenever I get on the field I turn into the Incredible Hulk and I am unstoppable.

I should remember more, and I have a pretty good memory.

When I see my picture in the papers, I imagine that people think I’m a lot more serious than I am. They probably think I’m pretty miserable.

Aaron Douglas
When Prince Andrew tired of romancing a pretty dancer and turned his attentions to Koo Stark, he instructed the Buckingham Palace switchboard not to put her through when she rang.

I guess I was just always one of those guys who asked those fundamental questions: ‘Who am I? What’s this for? Why? What does this mean? Is this real?’ All these pretty basic questions. I like making movies about people who are self-conscious in that way, and are trying to feel their way through the world.

We don’t do laundry because that requires a lot of water, and water’s at a premium up here. Plus, it’d be pretty complicated, I think, to make a space washer, although I guess you could do it.

I don’t read enough books, so I guess I’m pretty shallow. I’m a lot into the physical. With me, first attraction is never intellectual.

Punk rock really influenced me, the basic metal bands, Zeppelin, Stones and Floyd, and Southern rock bands. I think I was pretty well-rounded.

I’m a pretty positive person, so a bad mood is quite a big deal.

It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.

John von Neumann
I’ve pretty much always been on a diet since I was born. And the women in my family struggle, so I find the less I think about food, in a way, the happier I am. In general, I think I eat less the less I think about it.

Openness, respect, integrity – these are principles that need to underpin pretty much every other decision that you make.

If you stare at a wall from four in the morning till nine at night, and you do that for a week, you are getting pretty close to nothingness.

And I don’t know where I’m heading. I mean, I’ve got a pretty good idea of what I want in life.

‘Pyrapshere’ began as a sketch for a variety show I produced called ‘A Pretty Good Show.’ My partner, Andersen Gabrych, and I expanded it into a full-fledged faux-religion, including a list of 21 tenets, sacred symbols, testimonials, and even a clothing line. Many people believed it was a real thing and wanted to join.

Maggie Rowe
Don’t tell a woman she’s pretty; tell her there’s no other woman like her, and all roads will open to you.

Jules Renard
Mother liked beauty wherever she found it, and she found it in many different places, both in nature and in contemporary art. And that’s where they pretty much parted company. Father… anything that was abstract would to him automatically be not very good.

To come in and win three races already this year and maybe set a record by winning four is pretty unique. But guys like Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace and these guys are not wanting that to happen.

Dale Earnhardt
As African-Americans, people of that generation felt pretty much if they were going to see changes in the world, they had to make sacrifices and step up to the plate. I’m very proud that my parents happened to be people who did. They were not privileged to have a formal education.

The Italians live well. They have problems, like all countries, but they are well-dressed, the women are pretty.

Francois Pinault
Information’s pretty thin stuff unless mixed with experience.

Clarence Day
Ten percent of the big fish still remain. There are still some blue whales. There are still some krill in Antarctica. There are a few oysters in Chesapeake Bay. Half the coral reefs are still in pretty good shape, a jeweled belt around the middle of the planet. There’s still time, but not a lot, to turn things around.

I’m pretty much all for poetry in public places – poetry on buses, poetry on subways, on billboards, on cereal boxes.

I never took any elocution lessons, no diction lessons. I might have been a pretty decent broadcaster if I had, but what you see, I’m afraid, is what you get.

Ever since I was a teenager, I always had a very strong sense of my own personal style. Kind of for better or for worse – actually I don’t think it’s ever been for worse. The way that I dress has always been a pretty accurate reflection of my personality and my life.

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.

I wrote a lot of stuff quickly: pages and pages of notes that seemed pretty incoherent at first. Most of it was taken from the radio because -suddenly being a parent- I’d be confronted by the radio giving a news report every hour of the day.

My family background is Mexican, and I was born in Chicago. It’s pretty much family tradition every time we get together for Christmas and major holidays to sing. Our family time is centered around the food and a little bit of performing for one another.

Ailyn Perez
Love Scarsblew up pretty fast.

If people are prepared to eat locally and seasonally, then they probably do pretty well in terms of environmental impact.

Life is a pretty awesome ride.

I’m pretty sure my expectations are higher than the average person‘s. It just sets standards.

I watched pretty much every coming out video on YouTube that has ever been posted; I watched it in between 14 and a half and 15. Those coming out videos, and those people on YouTube, those brave, brave, brave people on YouTube, without them, I don’t know where I’d be.

We live in downtown Manhattan and we have pretty big windows that looked right at the World Trade Center. I was home along with Kai and we watched it all happen. I was holding him in my arms and we were looking out the window when the second plane hit.

You play against an opponent so much the numbers got to match at some point! I played against the Raiders six years straight pretty much. I played against them more than any team I’ve ever played.

You know, honestly, if a girl can make me laugh, I’m pretty much sold.

My dad is a chemical engineer, and my mom was a teacher. They were pretty serious about education, but I always thought about things a little bit differently.

I produced the Buckcherry album and I just finished a band called American Pearl on Wind-Up Records. That’s Creed‘s label. They’re pretty rocking. Now I’m looking for another band to produce.

Maybe directors who are more interested in realism and naturalism come from cities, where they see things on their doorstep every day. But growing up as a kid in a very pretty but ever-so-slightly boring town, where not a great deal happened, encouraged me to be more escapist, more imaginative, and more of a daydreamer.

The psychology of sport is so important. When you are standing at the crease, in front of a stadium full of people, it’s a pretty intense experience. So you need to have the psychological tools to control your mind and deliver your best performance.

I always thought I was a pretty terrible actor.

I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near.

It’s embarrassing to quote Gandhi or something, but being the change you want to see in the world is pretty powerful.

When it comes to relationships, I think I’m pretty experienced – you’d be surprised.

Aaron Carter
Singapore is a pretty fantastic place, and the race is always a challenge.

Trends carry on forever, until they stop. I want to be around after things come to a standstill. As a result, I tend to be pretty conservative.

Johann Rupert
I was raised Presbyterian, but I’m not really going to church. I think the experience in meditation is pretty much where it’s at for me.

When it comes to guys, my dad is the measure of the perfect man. And that’s a pretty tough standard to match up to.

Politics is dirty. Politics is exciting. Politics is often very, very difficult and disappointing. And I really would rather the world would be a little more like it was when my dad was young, where you knew pretty much where people stood on the great moral issues.

I am pretty honest about a lot of things that young girls question, like their body image.

I play like I play. You hear it on ‘Celebration Day.’ It’s pretty good for a one-night shot.

People can try to reinvent themselves. I don’t think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you’ve done up to now.

People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subjects inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all.

Then I realized that secrecy is actually to the detriment of my own peace of mind and self, and that I could still sustain my belief in privacy and be authentic and transparent at the same time. It was a pretty revelatory moment, and there’s been a liberating force that’s come from it.

It is pretty ironic that the so-called ‘least advanced‘ people are the ones taking the lead in trying to protect all of us, while the richest and most powerful among us are the ones who are trying to drive the society to destruction.

The drums can get pretty boring as a solo instrument.

I skipped kindergarten because I was reading at a pretty high level. That’s a weird and cocky thing to say, but I was real sharp, and I knew that early on.

Somebody asked me – you know, how come it took you so long to win a national championship? And I said, ‘I’m a slow learner; but you notice when I learn something, I have it down pretty good.’

We all go through life living in little bubbles, which we share with people who think pretty much the same as us.

I’m not someone who frequents the gym, pretty much ever.

Say there’s a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter – for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that’s saying is that he’s living a fantasy life of rebellion.

I think I’m pretty misunderstood, because I’m not just about football.

I think he will probably come round in time, I mean to renew the subject pretty often.

Elizabeth Garrett Anderson
Pretty woman, I don’t believe you, you’re not the truth. No one could look as good as you, mercy.

Karl Marx was in favor of socialist and communist-socialist revolutions, but he had a pretty nuanced view about it.

It’s nice coming to Nashville, and we have four-bedroom house and a dog, and we go swimming a lot. We get down here and spread out a lot, and I miss my sweet tea and my cornbread and my good southern cooking – but I’m down here eating pretty for two weeks and I’m ready to go back to New York City.

I’m humble ’cause I think many years ago people say, ‘Well, Alibaba’s terrible company’. And I know we were not that terrible. We’re pretty good; we’re better than people thought. But today, when people have a high expectation on you, and I start to worry and nervous because we are not good yet.

In the military I could exercise the power of being automatically respected because of the medals on my chest, not because I had done anything right at the moment to earn that respect. This is pretty nice. It’s also a psychological trap that can stop one’s growth and allow one to get away with just plain bad behavior.

My husband is pretty particular about his cars. In his opinion, the Mercedes are the best of the best.

Lauren Lee Smith
I think a lot of stuff like people’s emails getting hacked or that an email you sent is stored on a hard drive somewhere, that kind of stuff worries me a little bit. It’s a weird thought that someone else could get into my information that easily. That stuff’s pretty scary.

I saw ‘The Shining‘ in eighth grade. I watched it on VHS at a sleepover and was petrified, totally petrified. And I didn’t really start to digest the movie properly and understand it from a filmmaking perspective until I got older. But it pretty much defined what it meant to be scared of a movie for me.

We were friends for a year before we started playing music together. We both think it’s pretty important. Tyler‘s my friend before he’s a guy in my band, and when we talk to each other about things, it comes from a friend standpoint, not just a business standpoint.

Josh Dun
I used to have a spider phobia, but I’m pretty fearless now.

I think, thinking back earlier in my career, if I would have been told that I would be starting an All-Star Game at age 34, I’d be pretty happy about that.

I started in junior high doing the splits and flips and that kind of stuff. It was kind of the acceptable thing to do. But I had two older brothers, so I was a tomboy. I was the cute tomboy who could put on the skirt but then go tackle you or something. I was a little rough around the edges for a pretty woman!

My mum gave me pretty good genes in that department. She had gorgeous skin. That good English complexion. She never seemed to have a blemish that I knew of.

There are not a lot of people in the world that get to say they get to walk through the gates of Wimbledon and play on Centre Court. It’s pretty phenomenal, and we’re very lucky to live this life that we do.

Although I’m only fourteen, I know quite well what I want. I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child. I feel quite independent of anyone.

Shaquille and I kind of joke we were the Christopher Columbus of social media. We’re kind of out on a boat by ourselves going through these uncharted waters. But it’s become more understood, embraced and accepted, and now it’s pretty much expected by fans for athletes, leagues and teams to be there.

I wouldn’t put a big trust in what people in Silicon Valley say. They may be good at manipulating ones and zeroes and writing software, but beyond that, their contribution to human progress has been pretty dismal. I’m not impressed.

I don’t care what I look like; it’s how people think of me. And I do care how people think of me. I want people to say, ‘Oh, she’s nice,’ rather than, ‘Oh, she’s so pretty.’

When people tell you you’re on the brink of death, you’ve got to dig pretty deep to get it together.

A world where everyone creates content gets confusing pretty quickly without a good search engine.

Once you believe in yourself, you can pretty much do whatever you want in my opinion, so that is the main thing.

Things like anatomy and drawing and design and color had pretty much been drop-kicked out of the curriculum in the ’70s, when I was studying art, in favor of abstraction and minimalism.

David Small
I think there is a real misconception about Indian food being super spicy. And I know that’s because when you go into an Indian restaurant, it is pretty spicy. But it doesn’t have to be. In fact, my husband can’t handle a lot of heat. I’ve had to temper my cooking so that he can eat with me.

Aarti Sequeira
The idea of writer as sage is pretty much dead today. I would certainly feel very uncomfortable in the role.

I live a pretty simple life.

I’m a pretty laid-back kind of person.

It’s your outlook on life that counts. If you take yourself lightly and don’t take yourself too seriously, pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives. And sometimes it can be a lifesaver.

The trends that last and the trends that are relevant are the ones that make you look pretty.

We live in a world where equality is pretty important.

My biggest beauty tip would be exfoliation, exfoliation, exfoliation! After a lifetime of almost no breakouts, I started having some pretty embarrassing ones and learned that if you don’t exfoliate, your skin has a hard time shedding the old skin and therefore clogs your pores and causes zits.

Amanda Crew
I bark my voice out through a closed throat, pretty much. It’s more, perhaps, like a dog in some ways. It does have its limitations, but I’m learning different ways to keep it alive.

It’s never really been my intention; I’ve never gone out of my way to be relatable to anyone. I just say what I want, and I’m pretty blunt about things.

Look, even bad years are pretty good years I think.

I get a fine warm feeling when I’m doing well, but that pleasure is pretty much negated by the pain of getting started each day. Let’s face it, writing is hell.

William Styron
It’s pretty amazing to see something in your head and write it down, go out and shoot it, then see it on the big screen. It’s a pretty amazing feeling.

I’m actually a pretty upfront, honest person; if there’s anything, I just confront it.

I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.

I was pretty dead set against ever writing an academic novel. It’s always been my view that there are already more than enough academic novels and that most of them aren’t any good. Most of them are self-conscious and bitter, the work of people who want to settle grudges.

I really like iZotope Trash, which is a great plug-in for distortion, as is Ohmicide, which I love. It’s an absolutely crazy multiband distortion, compression, EQ and filter, which pretty much lets you do anything.

Nothing is more pleasant than to see a pretty woman, her napkin well placed under her arms, one of her hands on the table, while the other carries to her mouth, the choice piece so elegantly carved.

Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
I am pretty expressive with my emotions. I don’t think something and say something else. I don’t know if it’s something I should be proud of or to watch out for. Maybe I am not politically correct. I don’t know if that’s a crime.

Anyway, I lived on the streets and did pretty good until I got caught stealing, what was it? I kicked in a restaurant window, went in and took all the food that I wanted, and while coming out I was grabbed.

Gregory Corso
The entertainment industry is pretty nuts, and having had that experience outside of it and going to university has really made a big difference. It’s important to me to feel like I have my own life.

The experience of life that you and I have is pretty much a jigsaw puzzle in the box: Day-to-day experiences of disconnected pieces that don’t seem to justify the efforts we make each day.

Robert Adams
Roots‘ was a massive responsibility because it is this foundational text in the States and it also resonates fairly strongly with pretty much any black community globally.

I feel the same way about Shondaland I feel about Africa and Greece. I feel pretty in both places. Men look at me like I’m a novelty, and women think I’m just cool. I feel absolutely at home immediately. I’m not altering myself to fit in. I’m walking in just as I am. And there are open arms stretched out to greet me.

I certainly was never the pretty girl at school, but I can go to a lot of different places with this face.

Tablets generally have made it pretty obvious that magazines have a new lease on life.

Jeff Bewkes
Kylie and I are both pretty brave – much braver than the Kardashians. We have the Jenner in us.

I go to the pub, hang out with my family – that’s pretty much it. I also do a lot of sports when I get the chance. I’m actually a pretty mellow guy.

I am super-proud to have a sort of famous character in my background that if you’re a certain age, he was probably a part of your youth. I think that’s pretty cool.

Adam Brody
Society puts so much emphasis on outer appearance, but being confident in yourself and not letting others‘ opinions affect you is pretty amazing.

Brendan Dooling
I always take my time when picking out outfits at home, but I will say I can change pretty quick when I’m in a hurry.

You know, I’m a pretty mellow guy. I’m pretty easy-going. I see everyone’s perspective.

As a first-generation American, my parents expected that I would go on to have pretty tactical higher-education-type jobs – doctor, lawyer, engineer. Those were the three options. My dad was not at all open to the idea that there would not be a higher education in my future.

I’m pretty sure that changing diapers of all sizes isn’t the kind of women’s work Betty Friedan had in mind, nor Linda Hirshman.

I used to be very controlling with visuals and editing, and I would pretty much craft the performances; now I have learned to trust the material and the actors.

Two of my sons are themselves filmmakers, and we can’t afford them nor they us. They work in the real world and earn money and are pretty good at it.

The world is pretty messed up.

The beauty of my journey is that it’s always been pretty unpredictable, so stay tuned.

David Bowie is my biggest inspiration. Pretty much the only thing that stayed the same with Bowie was his eyes. Everything else constantly changed, from his sexuality to his songs.

We get to wear a lot of pretty and fancy clothes for our performances and videos, so in my daily life, I like to be really comfortable.

I’m pretty positive, optimistic, so I always expect the best.

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.

You can be a pretty face, but if you’re not a nice person, it just doesn’t work. I’m not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think I’m all right. If you’re a nice person, it definitely helps.

I was a pretty insecure kid, didn’t have a lot of friends, and was picked on a lot, and music gave me confidence.

I enjoy hanging out with friends, going on hikes and playing tennis. I also enjoy Bible study and making dinners. I have a pretty mellow life away from the water.

There was one film that I really wanted. This was a long time ago; it was a film called ‘Fracture.’ Ryan Gosling ended up doing it with Anthony Hopkins. It wasn’t a giant box-office success, but I really enjoyed the script, and I enjoyed the character. I got pretty close and was kind of disappointed it didn’t go my way.

For a while, I tried to masquerade as somewhat of a hippie because I was under the impression that was the kind of guy girls would like. I was pretty unsuccessful because I liked the idea of camping more than actually camping. I did go to a Grateful Dead concert, but I was pretty bored.

Typically, when someone gets a choke on me, I have a pretty strong neck. It’s usually hard to choke me.

Obviously you’d always be happy to have another tour on the side, earning extra money, but for most of the players I think we’re all pretty happy.

My parents pretty much realized that I would do whatever I wanted, and that was it, really.

Sunday lunch is always pretty social.

Win pretty, win ugly, just win.

I’ve been doing pranks my whole life, so I guess I’m pretty good at it.

I think connecting natural elements and musicology is probably pretty idiosyncratic of me, so it is hard to imagine anyone else going down that route.

The story follows the whole family. But pretty much all the characters who are in jail have written a book about it, so you’ve got their perspective of it, however skewed they want you to see it.

Marguerite Moreau
I like to think of myself as a pretty good athlete, I don’t think I’m a great sprinter, but 200, 400, maybe 800. I won’t say excel in them, but I’d do pretty good.

Grant Hill
I’m pretty much open to anyone who’s unique and has mutual appreciation in the music as BTS.

Suga
Perfection isn’t everything, some mistakes are pretty groovy.

I’ve never lost perspective on who I am. Well, maybe briefly, but generally I’m pretty balanced.

I try to stay on a pretty normal schedule of nine-to-five.

I wish I was a prolific writing wondrous boy genius – I wish I was Stevie Wonder – but I wasn’t. I was me. I wrote terrible songs about girls I was head-over-heels about. As soon as a pretty girl looks at me, that’s it – I’m in love, and I should probably write a song about it!

So people ask, ‘But how can you work for a friend?’ I say it’s because I know that the magazine is called ‘O.’ The bottom line is somebody has to have the final word. Oprah‘s not right all the time, but her record is pretty damn good. That’s not to say you can’t disagree.

I remember when MySpace came out. It did do something pretty incredible – which was unite people around the world with common interests and common tastes.

I used to watch all these great fat women in the audience laughing at the comic, and I would think how wonderful it would be to be that man. He was surrounded by pretty girls, he obviously got more money than anyone else, and everyone loved him.

Benny Hill
Kissing someone is pretty intimate, actually very intimate, and your heart always kind of skips a beat before you do that.

Being an actor is actually pretty easy if you can memorize lines.

Before I had a double mastectomy, I was already pretty flat-chested, and I made so many jokes over the years about how small my chest was that I started to think that maybe my boobs overheard me… and were just like, ‘You know what? We’re sick of this. Let’s kill her.’

Punk is musical freedom. It’s saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster’s terms, ‘nirvana‘ means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that’s pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock.

I am not the only intense or intellectual cricketer. I played with other cricketers who could be pretty intense and intellectual.

I would have to say honestly I was very pleased to be in a film whether it was good or bad with De Niro, Norton and Brando even if I don’t have any scenes with them, I thought it was pretty good company to keep.

In terms of working out, I’m in the gym, maximum, twice a week, but for a pretty intense period of time: two or two and a half hours nonstop. Most of the exercises are body weight. We’re talking pull-ups, chin-ups, decline rows, elevated push-ups.

I want to keep Flume kind of experimental, weird, melodic, pretty.

Let any pretty girl announce a divorce in Hollywood and the wolves come running. Fresh meat for the beast, and they are always hungry.

Like I said, a 30-year-old hockey player, even when I came to New York when I was 30, I was on the downside of my career, pretty much the end of my career.

I am lucky enough to be married to a personal trainer. He’s able to whip me into shape pretty quickly.

Not being beautiful was the true blessing. Not being beautiful forced me to develop my inner resources. The pretty girl has a handicap to overcome.

We need to keep working and I am pretty sure the results will come.

I’m pretty goofy, I’ll do anything for a laugh.

Cody Linley
Prior to going to college, I had a pretty strong accent, and that was one of the things I had to work on a lot. I went to North Carolina School of the Arts; my speech teacher… that was one of the things we really had to work on over the years, and thankfully I think it finally worked.

Chris Parnell
Art is a critical component in a well-rounded education. Art is the level playing field – no matter how rich or poor, tall or short, pretty or ugly to the bone, if you can draw, you can find personal fulfillment and build self-confidence. Art is the highest achievement of mankind.

What I love about ‘Criminal Minds’ is that Morgan is an ex-marine, ex-SWAT. To do those things you have to be a pretty badass dude. It’s a great incentive to stay in shape.

Let us leave pretty women to men devoid of imagination.

I’m a giraffe. I even walk like a giraffe with a long neck and legs. It’s a pretty dumb animal, mind you.

It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important.

I’ve enjoyed many camping holidays with my sister and her children, but we’re pretty posh campers.

Being an anchor is not just a matter of sitting in front of a camera and looking pretty.

David Brinkley
My parents are pretty religious, devout, but did they force it on me? No, I don’t think so. I still think of myself as a Lutheran, just one who doesn’t go to church.

I guess people wonder if I’m the same on camera as I am off, and I’m pretty much the same, I really am. But that’s always asked of me.

I used to want to be tall, and then I thought, ‘If I were tall, then people would say I was pretty and not cute.’ And then I realized that there are worse things than being called cute.

You’re always going to believe in yourself, and I have to thank God for that, but it’s pretty hard to believe that you can make it to the big leagues and that you can possibly get 200 hits three years in a row. I feel very proud.

I have four Macs, four iPads, and two phones, and I upgrade them all to the newest build pretty much every day.

Craig Federighi
We had a severely autistic kid in my class, and I was always picked last in gym class, even after him. Naturally, that made me feel pretty bad as an eight-year-old.

Money will buy a pretty good dog, but it won’t buy the wag of his tail.

I can come off as pretty arrogant, but it’s because I know I’m right. I’m very, very good at writing protocols. I’ve accomplished more working on my own than I ever did as part of a team.

Bram Cohen
And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart, till the Devil whispered behind the leaves ‘It’s pretty, but is it Art?’

In New York I pretty much live in diners – I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.

What I say is that, if a fellow really likes potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow.

I grew up in an era of pretty severe poverty. My parents weathered the Great Depression, and money was always a very big concern. I was weaned on a shortage mentality and placed in foster homes largely because there simply wasn’t enough money to take care of the most basic of needs.

One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.

I just like cars, period. I can find something to like about pretty much any car. I’ve had as much fun whipping around Italy in a little Mini Cooper as I’ve had whipping through Miami in a Bentley GT.

The point of theatre is transformation: to make an extraordinary event out of ordinary material right in front of an audience’s eyes. Where the germ of the idea came from is pretty much irrelevant. What matters to every theatre maker I know is speaking clearly to the audience ‘right now.’

Lee Hall
When you look at dividend returns on equities versus bond yields, to me it’s a pretty easy decision to be heavily in equities.

Laurence D Fink
I’ve said this before, and I’m sure there are people who disagree, but I feel like one of the reasons there aren’t a lot more women in stand-up – and there are many more now; it’s not parity, but it’s getting there – is that women are not socialized to look stupid or silly. They’re socialized to be pretty and precious.

I’ve got a little arthritis that I have to deal with. I was 6 feet 7 when I started, and I’ve shrunk up a little bit. I’m probably 6-5 or so now. But up here at 82, I feel pretty good. I’m sticking in there.

James Arness
When I’m doing something I love, I can lose sleep. I can go and go and go and go. My work ethic is pretty intense. But when it comes to doing something that I don’t love every day, I’m not very good at it. That’s called work, and I don’t like work that much.

If you love your work, you’ll be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you – like a fever.

I’m a sucker for good black skirts and pretty little shirts and kooky tops. I have to admit that shopping satisfies my craving for immediate gratification.

I’ve always been a guy who’s pretty supportive, its just my nature, so I came in to the situation with the attitude that I wanted to support Johnny and make it work.

Rick Derringer
When the great jazz and blues clubs closed – joints where the cash register rang loudly and there wasn’t ESPN on TV over the bandstand, and people smoked cigarettes and drank whiskey and hollered ‘Play on!’ – When those places closed, I was pretty much done.

I’ve never been a big nightlife person. I have a pretty low-key life.

Murray Bartlett
I tried to join three gangs, and every single one gave me a different excuse, but it was pretty much along the lines of, ‘You’re too goofy. You’re too cute. You don’t fit in.’

Since 1869, baseball has been doing pretty well.

Work hard. I got tenure a year early. Junior faculty members used to say to me: ‘Wow, what’s your secret?’ I said: ‘It’s pretty simple. Call me any Friday night in my office at 10 o’clock, and I’ll tell you.’

Did you ever spell a word so bad that your spell check has absolutely no clue what you’re trying to spell? What do you end up getting, you end up getting, like, a question mark. You got a million dollars of technology just looking back at you like, ‘You got me, buddy. Which is pretty amazing because I have all the words.’

I’m a pretty tough guy, you know. I’m a pretty hard man. I’ve got a lot of compassion, but I don’t waste time with people.

I think what’s going on with gorillas is pretty bad. The fact is that you can buy gorilla meat in London any day you want it.

I hate the natural sound of the trumpet, but I think I’m naturally set up to be a trumpet player. I know that sounds weird. But pretty much anytime I play a note, I’m uncomfortable in a general sense.

It means a lot to you, to be out there. The highs are pretty high, and the lows are pretty low. You know, it’s easy to feel like you let the team down. I mean, at the end of the day we still got to figure out a way to get through the tie.

When I see someone I think is cool, he’s a pretty well-adjusted individual. He’s not too affected one way or the other by what’s happening, no matter what’s going through his mind.

All my kids were raised on computers: They were home-schooled on the Internet, so they’re pretty good at that stuff. And I’m proud of them, but I don’t really keep up with it.

My first phone was two tin cans tied together with string, and it worked pretty good.

Routines, or lack thereof, are a pretty good way to get to know someone.

I think I have an inner confidence that my tastes are pretty simple, that what I find funny finds a wide audience. I’m not particularly intellectual or clever or minority-focused in my creative instincts. And I’m certainly not aware of suppressing more sophisticated ambitions.

It was a terrible blow that was dealt when I was fired from ‘Saturday Night Live‘, but I have to say that a few doors opened right away. Movie roles started to roll in, and pretty soon, I was over it.

One of the things we did at PayPal was collaborative filtering and machine learning: looking at patterns of human behavior. We used it there to predict when people would try to cheat the system to get money. But you can predict pretty much any behavior with a certain amount of accuracy.

Max Levchin
I had a pretty sexual imagination for a kid.

I’m pretty neurotic.

Music is how I unwind. I love going to see bands or DJs at a festival or a dive bar. My taste is pretty diverse.

Super Bowl Sunday is an American holiday at this point. Usually, I’ll have people over, and it’s pretty much just a chill day. Football is on all day.

It’s not a pretty face, I grant you. But underneath its flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.

Alan Jay Lerner
My parents told me I’d point to a bed of flowers and say ‘Pink. Pretty,’ before I knew any other words.

I love those preliminary conversations about who a character is. You try on wigs, shoes, and clothes. It’s preferable when it’s not about looking pretty. It can get a little dull to just be cute.

I like starting. It’s pretty cool.

Al Leiter
I don’t want to discredit people’s individuality, but I think people are pretty much the same. People are very similar. If you have a good enough imagination then you can feel things that you personally have never done before. That’s acting.

I’m so protected in my Nickelodeon bubble and ‘What I Like About You.’ It’s all pretty much the same people I’ve worked with and it was pretty protected.

It’s important to me that I’m more than a pretty face or another person starring in movies. That’s great, but there’s so much more than can and should be done.

‘Pretty Lady’ is the conversation piece where you just need to compliment your lady. If you are in a club setting, and you just been eyeing a beautiful woman, this song came from me trying to compliment women and them turning their face up at me.

It’s pretty easy to make a film in China. A few years ago I just walked into the office and let them know I wanted to make a movie called ‘Red Cliff‘ and they were so excited. They said, ‘Let’s do it!’ It’s that simple.

John Woo
I think I’d be more relaxed as an older mum, although fundamentally life with a baby is pretty much the same whatever age you are. It’s nappies, crying, feeding.

Rachel Hunter
Trying to do business without advertising is like winking at a pretty girl through a pair of green goggles. You may know what you are doing, but no one else does.

Cyrus McCormick
There’s nothing wrong with being pretty.

Accepting that the world is full of uncertainty and ambiguity does not and should not stop people from being pretty sure about a lot of things.

I have a pretty fast metabolism, so I don’t really have to worry about getting pudgy. What I try to do when I’m working out is taking in a lot of heavy protein – clean chicken, clean meats.

I was a pretty straight kid when I was 15 – there was no drunk or drugs.

I think I was lucky in that I wasn’t one of those girls who are told they are pretty the whole time. I never got that. Nor did I ever obsess about my looks as a teenager.

I’ve always felt that if you pay your bills and can take care of yourself without too much stress, then it’s a pretty damn good life.

As with real families, my fictional family on ‘Life Goes On‘ had its ups and downs, and as part of the fictional downers, the actors were often called to cry on cue. This absolutely terrified me, because I was a pretty happy kid who didn’t have much to cry about.

I’m a pretty private person, so I don’t mind not being recognized.

Growing up in the ghetto is pretty hard. It’s poverty; it’s frustration.

Your surroundings may change but your essence and your personality pretty much stay the same.

I thought there was something inherently interesting in people turning to gold. It’s pretty cool.

The richest people are those who have life arranged so they have food for the family and the rent or mortgage paid. After that, at least in my case, it can become a pretty boring existence if wealth is the only objective.

Gary Burghoff
Right now I’m pretty single… My career is my boyfriend.

I think ‘No’ is a very powerful word in our business that is very hard to use early on in your career. But I also think I was pretty arrogant when I was younger… I used that word maybe too much, but it did help me with finding roles that I did like.

Being an actor, you can get spoilt a little bit: car services come and pick you up, you get put up in nice hotels, people fetch you coffee, and so on. It is wonderful, but you can get lost in that world pretty quickly and start believing that it is real life.

Neil Jackson
Just take terrorism, for example. We have a team of more than 200 people working on counterterrorism. I mean, that’s pretty intense. That’s not like what people think about what Facebook is.

When we show our flaws, we show the world that we don’t look pretty all the time.

I was often told that I wasn’t a thing. ‘She’s not pretty enough. She’s not tall enough. She’s not thin enough. She’s not fat enough.’ I thought, ‘O.K., someday you’re going to be looking for someone not, not, not, not, and there I’ll be.’

Fashion is part of our culture, and it’s about more than just a pretty dress.

There’s always room for improvement. We have a nucleus that’s pretty good. You want players that will help.

Juilliard definitely emphasizes the theater. They don’t train – at all really – for film acting. It’s mostly process-oriented, pretty much for the stage.

I’m pretty normal, you know?

Having the critics praise you is like having the hangman say you’ve got a pretty neck.

I’m not just a pretty face.

There are many pretty people, and many are prettier than me.

People think your success is just a matter of having a pretty face. But it’s easy to be chewed up and spat out. You’ve got to stay ahead of the game to be able to stay in it.

A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain.

I’ve had the pretty good fortune of working with some decent guys and gals.

I’m a pretty low-key North Carolina boy. I like to go fishing and hang out with my friends.

The Democratic Party does not want anybody to have a photo ID because that would have a very negative impact on cheating! If you require a photo ID, that pretty much shuts out cheating. Well, it doesn’t shut it out. It just makes it harder, and that’s why they don’t want it.

My mum and dad are pretty amazing chefs and they spent most of my childhood cooking really extravagant things for my sister and me.

People confuse ‘pretty’ with good cinematography.

God’s been pretty good to me. He made me duck all those punches that were supposed to land.

As a human, I’d say I’m pretty intermediate.

It’s a pretty crazy adrenaline rush because I feel like every run is different. You can never really expect anything. It’s like a new adventure every time you drop into the pipe.

Because, you know, resilience – if you think of it in terms of the Gold Rush, then you’d be pretty depressed right now because the last nugget of gold would be gone. But the good thing is, with innovation, there isn’t a last nugget. Every new thing creates two new questions and two new opportunities.

I’ve had many conversations with the Clinton family. We’re friends. It’s hard, very tough. I think on Election Day, everybody felt pretty good. I think the Trump campaign thought they were gonna lose.

I’m pretty casual. I love Free People and small vintage boutiques.
