I’m a standup comedian who can’t drive. I have never learned. I don’t trust my hand-eye coordination. You’re looking at someone who once dropped a cricket ball on to his own head during a routine catching practice; I don’t think it’s a great idea to have me in control of a high-speed metal death robot.

Games bring another level out in you. There is no way you can train to the same intensity when you are playing a game. It is just impossible. Your head won’t allow you to do it. Because the adrenalin of a game and the importance of it steps it up to another level.

Once, I was going to a film event, and someone told me not to wear high heels to it. They said that it might intimidate the men.

Oh, I’m a great believer in the power of the pause. Radio is a bit brasher now. My style was slower. I just used to go in, open the microphone and say the first thing that came into my head.

Everything about your life, about your body, grows! Your cells regenerate; your hair, your nails, everything grows for your entire life. And your soul needs exploration and growth. And the only way you’ll get it is by forcing yourself to be uncomfortable. Forcing yourself to get outside, out of your head.

Bad company is like a nail driven into a post, which, after the first and second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty; but being once driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold to draw it out, but which can only be done by the destruction of the wood.

They had to re-shape the head of my femur back round. They had to trim my hip socket up a little bit. I had a lot of extra bone growth just from years of stressing it out. Because of that bone growth, it caused an impingement in my hip, which tore my labrum off the bone.
90
I like to head upstate to the Catskills, to Woodstock.
91
For ‘Regulate,’ I was at home, and I came up with it. I was listening to Michael McDonald‘s ‘I Keep Forgettin’.’ It was a record that I always loved, from being a kid and my parents playing it when they had their company of friends over. It was a record that just stuck in my head, and it just felt good.
92
93
In Blow-up I used my head instinctively!

95
Me not finishing school – in my head, I still have this insecurity when I’m talking to someone educated.

116
When you head on out to the Moon, in very short order, and you get a chance to look back at the Earth, that horizon slowly curves around in upon himself, and all of sudden you’re looking at something that is very strange, but yet is very, very familiar, because you’re beginning to see the Earth evolve.

121
There’s something about somebody’s first screenplay: it’s like their whole life experience has kind of been bottled into it. They bring so much richness to it.

122
Keep a cool head and a warm heart.
123
The reason there is no noblesse oblige about Dubya is because he doesn’t admit to himself or anyone else that he owes his entire life to being named George W. Bush. He didn’t just get a head start by being his father’s son – it remained the single most salient fact about him for most of his life.
124
125
It’s something that I am going over in my head about the whole video game thing, and whether you support violence by being in a film like this. I mean, to me, it’s incredibly unreal and it’s all about the action, and just explosions.
126
127
128

158
159
My head is full of songs I’m writing now, and things I am thinking now. I’m not very good at drawing on things that have happened, things I think might happen, or things I want to happen. I’m very much in right now.
160
161
162
I wouldn’t say I’m a Method actor, but I do try to focus very deeply on what character I’m playing, and everything else goes out the window. I forget about everything. I try to get everything else out of my head.
163
164

174
I’ve got a nice collection of paintings – a Basquiat, a black-and-white Warhol that’s like a Rorschach test, and I commissioned Takashi Murakami to do a ten-foot joint for me. It’s almost like the explosion in Hiroshima with his famous skeleton head. There’s a wall above my fireplace reserved for it.
175
It’s no accident many accuse me of conducting public affairs with my heart instead of my head. Well, what if I do? Those who don’t know how to weep with their whole heart don’t know how to laugh either.
176
177
I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

183
I have three assistants, but there isn’t a head assistant. All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.

Keep your head up and be patient.
185

188

191
My job as a DJ and a producer is just to have a big encyclopedia in my head.
192
I was taught that to create anything you had to believe in failure, simply because you had to be prepared to go through an idea without any fear. Failure, you learned, as I did in art school, to be a wonderful thing. It allowed you to get up in the morning and take the pillow off your head.
193
194
195
196
197
Keeping your head down and just writing is only part of the equation, so I surround myself with smart people to help sell my books.

204
205
There is a wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart.
206
The darkness, the loop of negative thoughts on repeat, clamours and interferes with the music I hear in my head.
207
There’s always going to be someone out there… who doesn’t believe in you or who thinks your head is too big or you’re not smart enough. But those are the people you need to ignore, and those are the times you need to just keep doing what you love doing.
208
I went to Ethiopia, and it dawned on me that you can tell a starving, malnourished person because they’ve got a bloated belly and a bald head. And I realized that if you come through any American airport and see businessmen running through with bloated bellies and bald heads, that’s malnutrition, too.
209
Everybody has their thing they like or don’t like to see. It’s all in your head. That’s why people take their own pictures, because it’s difficult for someone else to capture what you seek.
210
I’m always trying to make something that is impossible to film. Why would somebody just read a novel when they can see it on TV or in the cinema? I really have to think of the things fiction can do that film can’t and play to the strengths of the novel. With a novel, you can get right inside somebody’s head.
211
See, I was fine being bald, because I have a good-shaped head.
212
That nice, soft pillow and the warm blanket, and it’s all comfortable, and no one wants to leave that comfort – but if you can wake up early in the morning, get a head start on everyone else that’s still sleeping, get productive time doing things that you need to do – that’s a huge piece to moving your life forward.
213
214
All these things that enter your head are assignments. You write them up and then throw them out there and if someone wants to do it, your assignment is done.
215
216
217
218
In the cut-throat political system we have in the UK, you have to be prepared to put your head above the parapet and be confident in your ability to get the job done.
219
220

221
If you’re playing for the Kansas City Royals about all you can do is beat your head against the wall.
222
As long as I’m learning every day of my life, I will never feel old. Never. And I don’t feel old; I feel in my head and in my heart – I don’t know, ageless!
223
In PA, the Lieutenant Governor serves as the Chair of the Board of Pardons. That means that I sit as the head of our five-person board, where we hear testimony and process applications for pardons and sentence commutation.
224
I say, ‘Yeah, Taylor Swift.’ I think she is a smart, beautiful girl. I think she’s making all the right moves. She’s got a good head on her shoulders. She’s surrounded with wonderful people. Her songs are great. She keeps herself anchored. She knows who she is, and she’s living and standing by that.
225
I feel less adrenaline in my body now, but more in my head. I tried to be at my best, and I succeeded.
226
There are five great ages of man – five moments when you need to reevaluate everything, clear out the cupboard and the wardrobe, and most importantly, your head. They are 13, 20, 30, 40 and 60. All men need to know this.
227
Activism is very seductive, and writing is painful and hard. It’s very scary to have a death threat living over your head. Activism is very sustaining. But I don’t view myself as a political person. I’m just someone who desperately wants to stay alive.
228
It is the heart always that sees, before the head can see.
229
Sporadic thoughts will pop into my head and I’ll have to go write something down, and the next thing you know I’ve written a whole song in an hour.
230
It’s not fun to get out of bed early in the morning. When the alarm goes off, it doesn’t sing you a song: it hits you in the head with a baseball bat. So how do you respond to that? Do you crawl underneath your covers and hide? Or do you get up, get aggressive, and attack the day?
231
I like to stay at home and make cinema in my head.
232
233
234
235
ISIS was able to grow because the Obama administration stuck its head in the sand rather than address the emerging problem.
236
237
God made me the way I am for a reason and I would never change that. I lead a normal life as much as possible and deal with the bumps in the road as they come along with my head held high and a smile on my face!
238
True love, to me, is when she’s the first thought that goes through your head when you wake up and the last thought that goes through your head before you go to sleep.
239
I want to keep my head in the game, my ego low.
240
I was influenced when I was younger by the cartoon movies that Disney put out, like Cinderella and what not. I watched those movies over and over when I was younger and the music is ingrained into my head. Nowadays, I’m still humming the tunes. It taught me the fundamentals.
241
242
‘Taxi Driver‘ is one of those films that is groundbreaking in how much you’re inside this character’s head. It uses voice-over in a revolutionary way where the audience is invited as a co-conspirator to the whole story line.
243
244
You can’t get your head around something if you’re yelling.
245
246
Why a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can’t make head nor tail out of it.
247
248
249
But I’m very thankful that no one is slamming my head against the wall anymore.
250
Being drafted 13 definitely motivates me, but I love where I was drafted, I love the opportunity I was drafted into. But the 12 guys ahead of me are in the back of my head all the time.
251
I got my MFA from AFI as a director in 2010. I’ve had time to make the shorts that I made previous to ‘Hereditary‘ and to kind of build these movies in my head.
252
253
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
254
255
I believe the ability to think is blessed. If you can think about a situation, you can deal with it. The big struggle is to keep your head clear enough to think.
256
257
I actually think the same things do make most people happy. The differences are extremely small, and around the margins. You like peach ice cream; I like strawberry ice cream. Both of us like ice cream much better than a smack on the head with two-by-four.
258
I do not remember how it got into my head to make the first calculations related to rocket. It seems to me the first seeds were planted by famous fantaseour, J. Verne.
259
260
261
Do I want to tackle a 230-pound guy who’s running like a deer? Heavens no, no one in their right mind would. But there is something that drives me and compels me to stick my head in there and give it my best shot.
262
Col. Shaffer is prohibited by his lawyer from talking. He’s at great risk. They want to take away his pay and his health care benefits so they can hold it over his head and not allow him to talk while he’s under suspension. This is not America.
263
I made ‘Saving Private Ryan’ for my father. He’s the one who filled my head with war stories when I was growing up.
264
265
266
267
I avoid social media and articles written about me, because I’m human and negative comments pollute my head and make me feel confused about myself.
268
269
270
271
Man is always looking for someone to boast to; woman is always looking for a shoulder to put her head on.
272
I can put my legs behind my head, but that’s pretty much it. An early agent said to me, ‘If you can put your legs behind your head, let’s say you’re a contortionist!’ So I got sent out for everything twisty and bendy. It’s a good conversation starter.
273
274
I love people who have really long locs. I love how they can go in different directions or pile it up into a big crown on the head.
275
The life of a model isn’t easy. But I try to keep a good head on my shoulders by staying close to my family and old friends. They’re my support system.
276
A story in your head isn’t a story. It’s just a daydream until you actually write it down. So write it down.
277
278
True love, to me, is when she’s the first thought that goes through your head when you wake up and the last thought that goes through your head before you go to sleep.
279
280
What I care about is making sure that when the people watching me put their head to their pillow, I’m the last thing they think about. Not because I hit the coolest moves, not because I’m putting my body on the line for their entertainment, but because I’m captivating.
281
282
283
I love my headscarf. I wear my head wrap every day with my hoop earrings.
284
285
Sometimes you don’t want to get married too much to a lot of rehearsing, I feel, when it comes to film, because there’s so many technicalities. So if I’m in my head, I’ve gotten settled on something, I’m gonna have to change it if I get there and something was set that’s completely different.
286
Byron Saxton is creepy. He has a relationship between me and him going on in his head. I’m not included in this personally – like, I am, but I’m not. He has a weird fetish with my feet: he loves to call me different kinds of names, like ‘Samoan Sweetcake’ and ‘Twinkle Toes.’ It goes on from there.
287
288
289
290
291
292
People are funny, and in the most tragic situations, when comedy erupts from nowhere, it can turn on its head within the space of a second or a minute. You’re laughing one minute and you’re crying the next and that’s just life for me, and that is what people are like.
293
I took a little break after ‘The Palace of Illusions’ to clear my head.
294
295
296
297
298
One of the disadvantages of poetry over popular music is that if you write a pop song, it naturally gets into people’s heads as they listen in the car. You don’t have to memorize a Paul Simon song; it’s just in your head, and you can sing along. With a poem, you have to will yourself to memorize it.
299
Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool.
300
Home is where your family is. Wherever you are, it’s about the people you’re surrounded by, not necessarily where you lay your head.
301
302
I think, especially in our business we meet a lot of people, and sometimes you spend so much time being nice to strangers, and so, you know, keeping a clear head and just being nice to each other. And that’s all the advice I can give.
303
304
305
306
It’s all about getting your head down, focusing, working hard, competing in training, keeping fit, and picking up points.
307
308
The biggest thing as a head coach, you want to make sure you exhaust every option.
309
310
The thing I have discovered about working with personal finance is that the good news is that it is not rocket science. Personal finance is about 80 percent behavior. It is only about 20 percent head knowledge.
311
312
Each and every head coach has their own ideas and philosophy. This club had a clear picture of what I would bring, and I was aware of what Norwich City means. I decided to sign here because I’m fully convinced this club is where I want to be.
313
One man with a head on his shoulders is worth a dozen without.
314
Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
315
Well-being cannot exist just in your own head. Well-being is a combination of feeling good as well as actually having meaning, good relationships and accomplishment.
316
When I create lyrics, I just go off of energy. Sometimes I write down my lyrics on my phone and most times I remember the lyrics in my head.
317
When I was a barber, me being extreme was how I got popular: you name it, I was drawing it on someone’s head.
318
I’ve spent my life butting my head against other people’s lack of imagination.
319
The message of ‘Zomb-B’ is that you have to listen to your own heart and head and question everything. Question stereotypes and the way the world seems or is being presented. Some of the people we should be most concerned about, dangerous right-wing bigots, sound convincing and reasonable.
320
321
It’s very difficult for me to look at politics with clear eyes. I’ll read a story in the paper and the first thing that pops into my head is, what would my dad say about that? Then I try to break out of that and think, ‘What would Said say about that,’ and then it gets complicated.
322
I love Sunday-morning drives. I’ll be up at 6 A.M., get a cup of coffee, and head out.
323
Though many of the poor have come to see the affluent middle class as its enemy, that class actually stands between the poor and the real powers in this society – the administrative octopus with its head in Washington, the conglomerates, the military complex.

Given how unflinching his productions have been, the 44-year-old McQueen is remarkably gentle and thoughtful – so much so that he will request a moment to consider a question, and turn it around in his head to get the shape and weight of it, before answering, occasionally with an excited rush of words in response.
326
His answer trickled through my head like water through a sieve.
327
Arrogance, ignorance, and incompetence. Not a pretty cocktail of personality traits in the best of situations. No sirree. Not a pretty cocktail in an office-mate and not a pretty cocktail in a head of state. In fact, in a leader, it’s a lethal cocktail.
328
Strangely enough, as I explored these abandoned malls, I found myself acting like a kid all over again. At times jumping up on to nearby fountain ledges trying to balance myself as I became mesmerized all over again by the futuristic skylights that dangled fearlessly over my head.
329
330
331
There are just certain things that turn my head. It may be a girl’s sense of humor, it may be her wit, or her belief system; it could be a lot of different things.
332
Shaving your head is not an easy thing to do.
333
334
I feel really humbled and really grateful to have the opportunities that I’ve had over the past couple of years to work with some amazing people. I think, at this point, I just want to put my head down and grind and do honest work.
335
Although I come from a family who are Muslim – my mother is Egyptian, my father is Palestinian – my mother only puts a veil on her head when she has a bad hair day.
336
337
The most important part of the body is the brain. Of my face, I like the eyebrows and eyes. Aside from that, I like nothing. My head is too small.
338
339
I wake up laughing. Yes, I wake up in the morning and there I am just laughing my head off.
340
341
342
I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now that would be interesting.
343
My mom is from Venezuela, and my dad is German and Japanese, and we lived in Brazil when I was a kid for a couple of years, and then I grew up on Long Island. I think all the traveling and all the nationalities put that stuff in my head. I was just around it a lot.
344
When I was first started, when I was eighteen, I wrestled for a company that had a very hardcore fanbase and demanded a lot from its wrestlers. So, every single match, I would do every move possible. I would land on the concrete floor; I would land really high on my head just to try to impress the fans.
345
I’m not a politician, I’m not an ideologue, I’m not an organizer anymore. I’m a human being sharing ideas, and those ideas have to feel fresh and from my heart and my head, and I have to feel it. You can’t force that feeling.
346
If you just keep your head down, work, and put it on the bottom line, sooner or later that takes care of everything else.
347
348
349
350
I had soaked up all of these ideas about what it meant to be a creative person from media and culture. And I had this idea in my head that if this was your calling it was supposed to be fun. It was supposed to feel good to wrestle with a blank page. And imagine my surprise when it wasn’t fun at all.
351
352
353
354
I do have in the back of my head that you never know how long it lasts.
355
356
My friends and family are my support system. They tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear and they are there for me in the good and bad times. Without them I have no idea where I would be and I know that their love for me is what’s keeping my head above the water.
357
A lot of things are going to happen that you can’t necessarily control all the time, but you can control what you do after it happens. So that’s what I try to do, keep my head up, keep moving forward, stay positive and just work hard.
358
It’s really never fair to judge people because none of us know what’s going on inside anyone else’s head.
359
360
One day a whole damn song fell into place in my head.
361
362
363
I became famous for the fact that I would break many, many limits. People said, ‘He does all these crazy things.’ But oddly it was a crazy thing only because scientists and climbers said, ‘Everest and the 8,000-meter peaks without oxygen – impossible. Messner is becoming sick in his head.’
364
365
I wanted something different; I wanted something that challenged me and that pushed me further. Then this idea of climbing Mount Everest came to my mind. It stuck in my head for days. Someone told me I couldn’t do it, and that really annoyed me.
366
367
368
Student life taught me a lesson – never bow down your head. Be straightforward and bold in whatever you do.
369
370
People usually compare the computer to the head of the human being. I would say that hardware is the bone of the head, the skull. The semiconductor is the brain within the head. The software is the wisdom. And data is the knowledge.
371
My friends have said, ‘Wait, you’re pretty, and you sing? What do you mean you’re interested in science?’ I have to just hold my head and go, ‘Do you hear yourself?’ By no means should you ever limit yourself because of what others think or because of their perceptions of what someone looks like in a certain field.
372
373
374
375
I used to drive up and down Pacific Coast Highway in this black Porsche, and I had seen a couple of accidents on the highway involving Porsches. I realized if you’re in any kind of head on accident in one of those cars, they’re going to get you out of it with a can opener, one of those Jaws of Life.
376
In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud: Under the bludgeoning of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed.
377
I definitely had a big head, and I’ll be the first to admit that I made some bad decisions. But back when I was making those decisions, in my head I was doing no wrong.
378
I started EWF because I had a vision, and music was playing in my head that I wanted to bring through. What I had in mind was exactly what Earth, Wind & Fire became.
379
The real danger is a politics that buries its head in the sand.
380
Given a fair wind, we will negotiate our way into the Common Market, head held high, not crawling in. Negotiations? Yes. Unconditional acceptance of whatever terms are offered us? No.
381
I remember lying out in my bed and looking at the vast, quiet sky. Right up above my head, there were three stars in a row, and I remember thinking, ‘Well, I’ll have those three stars all my life, and wherever I am, they will be. They are my stars, and they belong to me.’
382
I write music about what’s going on in my head, what I’m angry about, and what I think is wrong/right.
383
When I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder the year I turned 50, it was certainly a shock. But as a journalist, knowing a little bit about a lot of things, I didn’t suffer the misconception that depression was all in my head or a mark of poor character. I knew it was a disease, and, like all diseases, was treatable.
384
I have plowed and planted and gathered into barns, and no man could head me. And aren’t I a woman?
385
I know that I had not faith, unless the faith of a devil, the faith of Judas, that speculative, notional, airy shadow, which lives in the head, not in the heart. But what is this to the living, justifying faith, the faith that cleanses from sin?
386
When I write a tune – and it’s been like this for many years – I always hear in the back of my head some sort of vague, orchestrated, fully fleshed-out big-band version of the song with other parts going on.
387
We are all captives of the picture in our head – our belief that the world we have experienced is the world that really exists.
388
389
What’s the worst that could happen? You’re going to come second or lose? It’s not like someone has got a gun to your head.
390
391
392
393
394
It’s wonderful to feel supported, but there’s a lot of negative energy towards me as well. So I ignore it, to be honest. If I started to read it all it would completely mess up my head.
395
In a VR setting, you tilt your head up, and you really have the vertigo and the sense that it goes up to infinity, and it’s like you’re in New York City or Dubai, and you’re looking up at a giant skyscraper. You have a sense of awe.
396
397
398
My buddy tells me a lot of interesting stories about what goes on in prison – it just makes my head spin about what they deal with on a day-to-day basis.
399
The biggest lesson that I’ve learnt is that things can change so quickly, never get used to one thing because everything can flip on it’s head.
400
401
I don’t get to watch a lot of TV, mainly because I’m busy working. And I pretty much try not to watch very much television at all, even American television, until I’m done with a season, because things start to creep into my head otherwise.
402
403
404
I pray to God I get inside a girl’s head one day and see what in the WORLD they are thinking.
405
The mark of higher education isn’t the knowledge you accumulate in your head. It’s the skills you gain about how to learn.
406
Don’t let the good days get to your head, and don’t let the bad days get to your heart.
407
408
Our Congress passes laws which subsidize corporation farms, oil companies, airlines, and houses for suburbia. But when they turn their attention to the poor, they suddenly become concerned about balancing the budget and cut back on the funds for Head Start, Medicare, and mental health appropriations.
409
I wake up at 5:30, 6 in the morning, but don’t head into the office right away. I like to hang out with my wife, talk about things, get some coffee, you know.
410
Anyone who thinks they’re sexy needs their head checked.
411
The wellbeing of the head resounds throughout the whole body, and as are the Superiors, so, in turn, will their subjects be.
412
Authenticity is the alignment of head, mouth, heart, and feet – thinking, saying, feeling, and doing the same thing – consistently. This builds trust, and followers love leaders they can trust.
413
I’ve got a quick mouth, and I set my boundaries. Nothing ever happened that I couldn’t handle. Once when a guy came on stage making rude gestures, I hit him over the head with my guitar.
414
Be yourself, fill your life with good people, and don’t get a big head. It can all be gone tomorrow.
415
I don’t care if I win or lose; I know I’m going to give 110%, and I’m going to hold my head high at the end of the day.
416
I’m always writing. There is always a story brewing in my head.
417
I like to go for a run – it really clears my head and releases any stress from the day.
418
419
Sometimes, the hardest things are just the simple things. Basically, get out of your own head and just go play the game you know how to play.
420
421
A lot of things are going to happen that you can’t necessarily control all the time, but you can control what you do after it happens. So that’s what I try to do, keep my head up, keep moving forward, stay positive and just work hard.

On ‘Takeaway’ we wear these little earpieces because the show is live, but if you push them into your ear they go further into your eardrum and really hurt. One woman flung her arms around us and crushed my head so the earpiece went in. I nearly fainted. I lost my vision for a bit.
429
430
My creative process is quite slow. I hear melodies in my head while I’m washing the dishes and I allow my subconscious to do the work.
431
I was with this girl the other night and from the way she was responding to my skillful caresses, you would have sworn that she was conscious from the top of her head to the tag on her toes.
432
Private schools are gaming the system. There is way too much state money going in, and people who go to private schools seem to be given a head start for all of the top jobs and that’s something that needs to be dealt with as well.
433
434
We believe with all the strength of our spirit that mankind has a supreme, primary and irreplaceable need which can be satisfied only through Jesus Christ, the first-born among men, the head of the new humanity, in whom each individual reaches full self-realization.
435
When you fall head over heels for someone, you’re not falling in love with who they are as a person; you’re falling in love with your idea of love.
436
I follow my own head. And if I’m determined to do something, then I’ll make sure that I make it happen.
437
438
One night last summer, all the killers in my head assembled on a stage in Massachusetts to sing show tunes.
439
The sky’s the limit if you have a roof over your head.
440
I create my own backstory regardless of if I’m told something about the background or not. There’s always more that you can develop in your head that makes a character more layered, more honest.
441
For most of my adult life, I always had this pain in my gut, but because I had to survive, and I had to pay the rent, I needed the roof over our head and food for us to eat and some clothes.
442
I’m not a risk-taker; that’s probably why I write – because when you’re easily bored, but you don’t like taking risks, you end up doing it all in your head.
443
I cannot let my opponents get into my head.
444
445
446
Sometimes you need to get hit in the head to realize that you’re in a fight.
447
The hardest thing in the world, I now know, is to hold in your head that it is okay to think that you are right, but not to think so necessarily because everyone who disagrees with you is wrong or stupid or duped or bad.
448
449
It can get really messy inside my head, and it’s usually just because everybody can get really self-centered at some point. And so what usually keeps me from quitting is that my reasons for quitting are just lame. I wouldn’t want anybody else to talk to myself the way that I talk to myself.
450
I don’t know why, but rain comes into my head the minute I think of my childhood.
451
You don’t have to hit anybody on the head to be sexy.
452
I think, head up and shoulders back. Not only does it make you look taller and thinner but it gives you confidence and boosts your self-esteem.
