act
I have never had any ambitions in acting, I just like working. I will act as long as I can and as long as they will have me.
applied learn music piece sit
I have never applied myself to learn a piece of music away from the instrument. I sit down at the piano, read a bar, then play it.
beating civic familiar handled hate hope kids last performance playing ready sure team three tough
I hate playing a team three times in the same year. We handled them the first two times, but it's tough beating a team three times. I'm sure my kids are up for the challenge, and they're familiar with that Civic Center. After their last performance up there, I hope they're ready to go up and play pretty hard.
absolutely alliance ally dispute doubt happens neighbor stand
I have absolutely no doubt that the alliance will, as it has promised, stand by its ally Turkey, which happens to be a neighbor of Iraq, ... There is no dispute about that at all.

I had very high hopes about this decision.
almost ball beauty bench bumps came caught charity coach dave faded glance goose head individual inside looked match memories night path perfection played sheer shook slightest slippery speed stands surface wet
I have a 100 individual memories of the beauty of John's play. One stands out for the sheer perfection of his skill. It was a charity match which, but for that one second, has faded completely from my memory. The ball came to him at speed on a wet, slippery surface but with the slightest of adjustments, one that was almost imperceptible, he played it inside a full-back and into the path of an on-running winger. I looked at our coach Dave Sexton on the bench and he caught my glance and shook his head as if to say 'fantastic'. Haynes could give you goose bumps on a wet night in a match that didn't matter.

I hardly knew the man's name, ... He really invented me. He needed me for his political purposes, so I'm a figment of his imagination.
act acting coming grip hardly knew saying straight year
I hardly knew anything when I first arrived. I had to learn how to act as I went along. After about a year I got a grip on what acting was all about and it started coming straight from my heart; I wasn't just saying the words any longer.
care country million open people promoting throughout work year
I give away something up to $500 million a year throughout the world promoting Open Society. My foundations support people in the country who care about an open society. It's their work that I'm supporting. So it's not me doing it.
attention country felt foreign hospitals pay
I felt like I was in war, like I was in a foreign country where they didn't pay attention to you. God-damned big hospitals and there's no bed's there.
april left sorry yankees
I feel very sorry for Dwight. He left the Yankees in April of his own accord.
ditch huge pace sensation stunning
I find Suez astonishing for the first hour. It is a ditch in a desert, but a stunning one. The sensation of being hemmed in by huge ships, moving at a stately pace through a man-made waterway, is extraordinary.
buy buying great
I find myself sympathizing with the Americans. Why should they buy this rubbish? Even we aren't buying it in any great numbers.
angels cast gift giving heart instead loving
If, instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give
