134

When I was younger, I always knew I was a pretty good player, but it was impossible to foresee how far I’d go. I had a left foot and vision like no one else, but I wasn’t the quickest and my right foot wasn’t so great, so there were things I needed to work on.
304

Many people believed it was a real thing and wanted to join.

324
325
I get mad at my mom. I really wish she’d put me into hockey. I’m not gifted with height, but look at Martin St-Louis. He’s unbelievable. He’s small, but he’s so fast, so skilful. I think I could have been pretty good.
326
As a kid, I was a pretty good little sprinter.
327

I feel like I’ve always been a pretty good ballhandler. It’s kind of like second nature to me.
329
I do genuinely believe that young people who play sport at a competitive level, sensibly controlled, sensibly organised, that has to be a good thing. It will teach them to win, it will teach them to lose with dignity and magnanimity – all the things you want. It’s a pretty good metaphor for life.
330
Don’t get bored with little things – little completions here and there. They are all valuable, because I know that’s a trap to fall into. You start feeling pretty good, and you think ‘Oh, I want to try and throw this, or throw that.’ And you’ve got to reel yourself in and hone in on the details.
331
332
333
I actually think the chances that we’ll find E.T. are pretty good.
334
Walla Walla is where I make wine, with Eric Dunham. He and I partnered up on a small project for me. We make pretty good cabernet and syrah.
335
I’ve had the pretty good fortune of working with some decent guys and gals.
336
337
338
I’d say my heart is more in independents, but sometimes these major films come along that are pretty good, you know?
339
I’ve been concussed I don’t know how many times, yeah it’s taken a pretty good toll on the body.
340
You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.
341
I think Desperate Housewives is a pretty good show, I watch it, I like it and I don’t love reality tv that much. I do watch some, I’ve got three daughters so we’ll watch the good stuff, the fun stuff.
342
David Lynch was very good, very patient with us, and the reaction in the United States seems pretty good.
343
I always thought I could be pretty good, and it turns out fighting has made me happy.
344
New York basketball’s been pretty good over the years.
345
346
If you are a black person growing up in America, chances are pretty good that you have experienced the police pulling you over in front of your mother‘s house because you ‘had a headlight out.’
347
348
349
I’m quite bullish. We’re coming up on year 15 of a flat stock market. Historically that’s a pretty good sign. So I’m not a hedge-fund manager but if I was I think I’d be feeling pretty good.
350
I was a pretty good coach and working with marketing was like coaching.
351
352
Look, all administrations, all governments lie, all officials lie and nothing they say is to be believed. That’s a pretty good rule.
353
Big things, a real crisis, I think I’m pretty good, but this little thing will just wallop me. I think I’m managing depression better now: when the mood comes, I just try and sit it out.
354
I want to be a coach one day. This is important to me. I think I have a pretty good foundation of football schemes and X’s and O’s.
355
356
357
Hillary Clinton is not strongly identified with reforming the industrial food system. The Clintons were involved with Walmart and Tyson in Arkansas. Though as a senator, Hillary was pretty good at reaching out to the small farmers in Upstate New York.
358
You couldn’t really like a bad guitar in 1960 ’cause everybody was pretty good.
359
360
361
I was a huge fan of this band called Sparks. It was a pretty good inauguration to music, since their music is quite complex.
362
My average against hitters is pretty good.
363
Stockton is a great fight town because if you drive long enough on some of these roads, you’ll probably see a pretty good street fight.
364
If I can make myself laugh about something that I should be crying about, that’s pretty good.
365
Living in my parents’ house is pretty sweet. It’s not like they’re rich or anything, but they’re pretty nice to me, so it was pretty good living there, too, and all I did was jujitsu. I was just like a stallion, just living on my parents’ couch. It wasn’t terrible.
366
367
I’m blessed with a pretty good voice. So just sitting back there banging on the tubs wasn’t enough.
368
369
370
371
372
The truth of the matter is that Dusty Rhodes helped put more money in my pocket than anybody I’ve ever wrestled. In his time he was the most charismatic and talented performer in the business, and I know he doesn’t look like it, but he was a pretty good athlete too.
373
I just feel like a completely different person confidence-wise, just being able to walk around feeling like an actual athlete that’s in pretty good shape.
374
I think that one of the greatest perspectives that I have, from being a buyer for my whole career until I became a producer, is that I have a pretty good understanding of the buyer’s mentality.
375
I’ve been in three offenses in the NFL. I think I’m pretty good now.
376
It hurts me not to be able to communicate like I used to. I used to be pretty good at coming back, you know, quick one-liners.
377
You kind of look at the timeline of what has happened to me and with having a pretty good rookie year and the second year getting the injury and Kurt Warner played himself into the Hall of Fame in the last 3 years. There’s not a lot I can do about that. I battled with a Hall of Famer two training camps in a row.
378
379
380
Everywhere I go now, people are like, ‘That’s the guy from ‘Dancing With the Stars!’ It’s pretty good that you’re not just a football player but you’re in the entertainment world.
381
382
When you’re headlining, people are paying to come see you specifically. It’s a different kind of pressure, because you’ve got to deliver. You’ve got to give these people what they paid for. It’s a different mind state, a different type of mentality, but it’s honestly a pretty good problem to have, you know?
383
I should remember more, and I have a pretty good memory.
384
The basic ability to not wipe oneself out, to endure, to use your technological interaction with the world in such a way that has the possibility of the likelihood of lasting and not being temporary – that seems like a pretty good definition of intelligence.
385
Shaking hands is a pretty good way to get yourself sick, not necessarily with Ebola, but with a million other germs that can cause colds and flu.
386
387
388
Most coaches would consider leading a team to an Olympic gold medal a capper for a pretty good year. The same goes for winning an NCAA national championship. Or a FIBA world championship. Mike Krzyzewski, head coach of the Duke Blue Devils and Team USA, led teams to each of these honors… within about 24 months.
389
390
391
392
Found out I’m actually a pretty good teacher.
393
I thought I was a pretty good shortstop, but I also wanted to play in the major leagues.
394
Being a public company is really terrible for most companies. I’d say Facebook and Google have done a pretty good job of standing up to the incredible quarterly pressure to hit numbers, but most companies – and I’ve observed a lot now – don’t do a very good job of that.
395
396
I feel like I have a pretty good head on my shoulders about what to expect and how to come in and work as a veteran.
397
I’m the one who made many of the bold comments that we’d seen the technologies from AMD as pretty good. Their technology in many areas was leading. But those are transient.
398
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.
399
I expected to be a pretty good NBA point guard and hopefully win a championship. But MVP and all this stuff? Not really.
400
401
In Spain, we have a pretty good league – for me, I think it’s the second-best league in the world. They play tough there, they play aggressive. The big difference is that we play only one game a week in Spain, maybe two.
402
403
Our problem with President Obama isn’t that he’s a bad person. By all accounts, he too is a good husband, and a good father – and thanks to lots of practice, a pretty good golfer.
404
405
I firmly believe I never had too much of an opportunity after I left Cleveland. I was behind Jamaal Charles at Kansas City. I didn’t get too much playing time. I felt when I got in I did well. And then I was in Tampa and never really got to touch the field because of Doug Martin. He’s pretty good.
406
I’ve always been a pretty good athlete.
407
408
I do love my country. I don’t think I’m particularly a good American. I don’t know what makes a good American. Other than somebody who – I like people who let other people alone. I think that’s a pretty good American. And I keep my hands to myself. So I’m an OK American.
409
If I like something, it seems a pretty good bet that other people will, too.
410
We had a pretty good life, growing up in Taiwan, and I think my dad really made a concerted effort to say hey, we’re going to take a chance and go halfway around the world so that my kids can have more opportunities.
411
412
More often than not as a quarterback, your performance is a reflection of the guys around you. I’ve been fortunate to be around some pretty good guys.
413
I went into NXT with no expectations. That’s what I was told when I was hired – have no expectations, just do the best I could – and that’s always what I’ve done for the last fifteen years. That’s what I did, and you know, it’s obviously working out pretty good.
414
415
416
HAG Records, is a company that I’ve owned. I’ve had a couple of gospel releases on it. We developed a pretty good distribution setup there and we do have something to use in case they don’t want to sign us.
417
418
419
420
I think I proved what I always believed. That I’m pretty good.
421
I think generally I’m a pretty good person if I had to grade myself. Or toot my own horn.
422
The weird thing about my relationship with Reince is we were pretty good friends when I was a political donor writing checks to the RNC. But once I was about to enter the administration, for whatever reason, it was a little more adversarial.
423
I’ve played a lot of bad guys, and I’m pretty good at leaving my work at the office. And I look at acting as having a certain sort of therapeutic nature to it.
424
About four days a week, I do pretty good at having a morning prayer time. But even at that, it’s a rambling sort of thing. What I have learned to do better is to try to keep my mind turned toward God and ear inclined toward God throughout the day, and I think I’m doing better at that, but I’ve got a long way to go.
425
426
What strikes me is that ‘XIII’ looks like a movie. The shot making is movie-like, which is kind of fun – the kind of playful action movie shot making is pretty, is pretty good. What’s also great about this game is its style and interesting story-line.
427
There’s a lot of animals in the open ocean – most of them that make light. And we have a pretty good idea, for most of them, why. They use it for finding food, for attracting mates, for defending against predators. But when you get down to the bottom of the ocean, that’s where things get really strange.
428
The Hall of Fame is pretty good at preparation and getting you ready for what to expect.
429
I look for something unique, and I look for people who haven’t reached their potential. I think I’m pretty good at developing talent.
430
431
There’s nothing I really want to accomplish. I already set my family up pretty good right now.
432
433
I’m pretty good with languages.
434
That’s a beautiful thing about India, they got such a big pool of players to call upon. If somebody gets injured, the replacements are generally pretty good.
435
But you know, I have a pretty good relationship with the press and the paparazzi. It’s just when they step over the line that, you know, enough’s enough.
436
437
If there’s unemployment, having the government help reduce that unemployment, increase employment directly is a pretty good idea. It’s not driving out competition; it’s not crowding out.
438
439
If you look at suburban education in New Jersey and New York, it’s pretty strong, intact, doing a pretty good job. You cap taxes for those communities, can we reasonably predict it’s going to be as strong 20 years from now?
440
441
For a quarter of a century, I’ve been playing baseball for pay. It has been pretty good pay, most of the time. The work has been hard, but what of it? It’s been risky. I’ve broken both my legs. I’ve sprained everything I’ve got between my ankles and my disposition. I’ve dislocated my joints and fractured my pride.
442
443
I’m aware of how lucky I am. Being able to make pretty good money, and get to do a lot of fun work, and at the same time I’m not besieged by photographers.
444
My sister Susan, who was the first one, was pretty good in mathematics and then chess, and my father chose chess because it was easier to measure the results.
445
I’m pretty good for an old geek.
446
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.
447
If there’s one thing, I’ve been pretty good at evaluating people.
448
449
We had a pretty good lead, so why push it.
450
Well, rather than to give you my impression on Los Angeles, per se, my older sister‘s husband is and American, therefore I have a pretty good idea of the, perhaps the characteristics of Americans in general.
451
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.
452
453
