11

When you’re hot, you try to ride it as long as you can.

24
In 1988, I earned something like £700,000. Yeah! I was earning 10 grand an hour opening shopping centres. Yeah! The most I earned in one day was 65 grand. I opened the Alton Towers fun ride in the morning, did a commercial in the afternoon and an appearance at a nightclub in the evening. Sixty-five grand in one day!

I’ve thought about bringing my children to retrace my own steps of the morning of September 11, 2001, but they’re too young for that. Maybe when they’re twenty. Maybe by then, even though it’s been only a short subway ride away for years now, I’ll have the nerve to see the 9-11 memorial for the first time.
29

33
34

I ride horses, I love horses, I’ve owned horses.

40
41
I want to do a Western so bad because I want to ride horses and act. Those are two of my favorite things in the world to do. I want to do that.
42
43
I don’t like the negative of reality tv – the ‘you’re no good, so you have to leave, I choose you, but I thought you really loved me.’ It’s all about how bad people are and I just hate that. I like Pimp my Ride where someone is helping somebody.

You see, I’m also a futurist. I dream about the world 50, 100, maybe even 1,000 years in the future. But I also realize I’m probably not going to see it. However, I wouldn’t mind having at least a copy of myself see the future, maybe 50, 100, 1,000 years into the future. It would be a fantastic ride.
48
49
I have to say that it was a thrilling ride to be on ‘Terriers.’ It was this odd circumstance where it was really loved by the people it was loved by, but it didn’t do well. In fairness to FX, they were just so generous in keeping it on the air the whole year.
50
51
I gave everything I had to basketball. The passion is still there, but the desire to play is not. It was a great ride.
52
53
Together my friends, we will ride our ponies into a zombie-powered future.
54
55
To have a successful writing career, you must be willing to sacrifice a great deal. The book, the deadline come first before anything else. Writing is not a job; it is a lifestyle, and it is a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows. You need self-confidence and an iron carapace.
56
I mean, for me, the reason I ride my bike and race is because I love doing it, not because I’m seeking recognition for it.
57
58
59

61
62

Take my horse to the old town road and ride till I can’t no more’ basically means just running away, and everything is just gone. The horse is metaphorical for not having anything or just the little things that you do have, and it’s with you.
69

71
72
My films don’t give you an easy ride. I can see that. The sense I get is that people have quite a physical experience with them. They feel afterwards that they’ve really been through something.

81
82
83
I always think of the good comebacks on the car ride home.
84
I have been agreeably disappointed in my idea of the camels. They are far from unpleasant to ride; in fact, it is much less fatiguing than riding on horseback, and even with the little practice I have yet had, I find it shakes me less.
85
I cycle, I take an hour’s strenuous walk in the evening, I play tennis twice a week with a trainer, and I sail. I used to ride horses professionally – I’d ride seven or eight horses a day, so I had to be fit for that.
86
I grew up in the countryside riding horses, and I also ride every holiday in Spain, which is where I was born. It’s a big part of my life.
87
I suppose that every time there is difficulty. I remember about Space Mountain: It took us ten years before we found the technology that would allow such a ride. And during these ten years, I had a model that I kept, waiting for the technology we needed.
88
I’ve got my advanced scuba diving license. I’m playing tennis and exercising. I ride my bike everywhere. I’ve been finding new things. I’ve been more creative in music and doing different videos. And just meeting different people and being around and present. I’m wonderful when I’m just on nothing.
89
At an event in Germany, I realised the organisers had ‘The Great Escape’ playing as background music to my test, and I just thought, ‘It’s really cool. I want that.’ It is fantastic to ride to.

92
93
My first review for the TV movie The Bionic Showdown said I was as interesting as a bus ride.
94
I thought I had to show people that I would get in early, stay late or even all night, work on holidays. I didn’t want to be the rich kid who was along for a free ride.

You can become a star overnight, guys. You can be on the street walking one day, and you’re on your way to the corner diner, and you had to hitch a ride to get there. And the next day, you can be a huge star, money coming at you from right and left. And you’ve got to know how to handle that situation.
109
110
I do periodically ride a bus with my kids.

113
Disneyland is supposed to be the happiest place on Earth and I have to say when I’m riding around in that crazy Space Mountain ride I’m happy.
114
115

119
120
They plan to ride into the White House on the Sweet Talk Express. Well, think again. Bush and Cheney are not compassionate conservatives. They are ruthless reactionaries.
121
122
I used to ride motorbikes and drive cars like everything was a racetrack; it was ridiculous. It wasn’t because I thought it was cool; it was just because I loved living on the edge. But I’ve chilled.

126
127
128
I think ‘Avatar‘ is much more appropriate to high frame rates because it’s like a ride, and it’s futuristic, and vividness and sharp edges and clarity would be an asset.

132
133
The truth is you don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.

137
It was a fun ride. I’ve enjoyed my time on the ice and I’ve enjoyed more and more people getting interested in the game of hockey.
138
Panic! for me has been an outlet for nonchalant chaos. It gives me full ride to fulfill this dream that anything is possible because of this band.
139
140
I am a reserved guy and need somebody to pep me up every day, Upsi does that job perfectly. She is very vivacious and outspoken, so we blend very well. We both love travelling, and we have a thing for adventure. We love being outdoors and like to ride our own boat rather than being rowed by someone else.
141
142
The one negative to horror is that it’s always law of diminishing returns. When you go in the funhouse, the ride is never scary the second time. You will never have that pure experience as when you first watch it.
143
144
I don’t want to pass through life like a smooth plane ride.
145
I feel like I was born to ride the track.

148

150

151
I would like to be on the farm. To ride the horses. To watch the cattle, and the plantations, and the beautiful vegetables that my sons are growing there. I would like it. I am one of those who do not have to worry about what I am doing later. I love the fields.
152
I drive an S80 Volvo; it’s one of those real flashy cars. No, I just like it because I like a nice, cush ride; the Volvo is really cush, and it’s powerful and fast.
153
154
I feel privileged and honored to have flown. It’s been a tremendous ride, looking back on the legacy and accomplishments, like the Hubble telescope and the launching of the International Space Station in 1998.
155
I’ve spent about that amount of time trying to tell the public that there was purpose in… my business, my career and the roller coaster ride… how the people I associated with worked together.
156
157
I very much like Kenya. It’s hard to beat the Masai Mara and the idea of ballooning across it. I have a great time at Lewa. There’s more rhinos than you’ll find anywhere. A great part for the children is you can ride horses with the giraffes and the zebra.
158
Architecture is a ride – a physical ride and an intellectual ride.
159
Any doctor will tell you a great treatment for depression is exercise, physical exertion, that it really ups the dopamine in your brain, so that’s what a show is. I play a show and that’s a high for me; I can ride that.
160
161
‘Faithfully‘ speaks to me. It’s about a guy who’s busy with his work, always on the road, but I’m still completely into you. If you just hold on, I’ll completely give myself to you. Just stick along for the ride.
162
When I was old enough to ride a motorcycle and got my license, I bought a ’69 Sportster.
163
The great thing about Santa Monica civic auditorium was it was a place you could ride your bike to. In this case, my dad dropped me and my friends off, and we’d go see Ronnie James Dio or Jean-Luc Ponty or Weather Report or the Pretenders.
164
165
166
I take my kids to the farmer‘s market – knowing I’m buying local and fresh makes the humiliation of the little choo-choo train ride worthwhile.
167
The hottest new attraction at Disney World has got to be the new Last Airbender ride.
168
169
170
I don’t ride a sport bike. If I’m riding a sport bike and trying to do tricks, and going 200 miles down the highway, that’s probably pretty stupid. But when you’re riding a Harley or a chopper, and you’re riding with a group of people and you’re not on the highway and you’re cruising, you’re relaxing.
171
172
One of my daughters is a competitive jumper, we live with horses, we have stables on our property. But I don’t ride. I observe, and I worry.
173
I don’t belong to a motorcycle club, but I know a lot of guys who do. I ride with some guys who do.
174

176
177
I feel so grateful for the whole ride that I’ve been on.
178
179
180
My mom used to model when she was younger, before she went to law school, and I think she thought it was pretty cool. I think my parents saw that acting ultimately made me happy, even though it was a rough ride for a little bit.
181
You can’t do the same thing every day with the horse. Because they then know the thing inside out, and they’re leading you, not the other way round. You don’t want them to take over. You have to be able to ride the movements and set the movements up; you don’t want them starting before you are ready.
182
183
I get up at 4:30 A.M. pretty much every morning during the week. I work out for an hour and a half. I do weights and I ride the bike, I run or I play tennis. It’s my release.
184
I ride a Harley and a chopper. Those are the two bikes I ride the most.
185
186
I attempt to surf. I’m not as good as anyone else in the water. I’m more like a beached whale. I just hang out on my board. I can ride, but I get too nervous unless I go with my boyfriend or my trainer. There are too many burly men out there!
187
188
It hasn’t always been a Premier League ride for Crystal Palace supporters. They’re there to support us through the hard times.
189
I felt pretty comfortable with Westerns, apart from the fact I couldn’t ride.
190
In a triathlon, it’s all about cycling in the most efficient manner. You need to save your energy for the run at the end, so you want to ride really efficiently and not waste your energy. The only way to do that is to spend a really long time on the bike.
191
192
193
Records were replaced by CDs, and lead type died in favor of computerized fonts. However, each had a 100-year ride of popularity, so you can’t feel too bad for them.
194
I’ve done every imaginable job possible out there – movies, TV, animation, TV movies… and, at this point, almost reality, it seems. It’s been a real blessing. It’s been a great ride.
195
196
197
198
There’s this idea supposedly that we preachers are supposed to walk about with sandals and ride bicycles. That’s nonsense.
199
200
201
Being a part of the action is just incredible. I loved doing stunt stuff. I loved learning to ride.

203

206
You look at me: you see the tattoos, and I ride a motorcycle.
207
208
If you think, ‘I’m jumping out of a plane at 30,000 feet!’ you’re not going to do it. But if you just jump out, then you’ll have an interesting ride.
209
210
211
I think Phil Collins is one of the most underrated musicians, singers, performers – he is absolutely amazing, I think, and I think he’s probably got a bit of a rough ride occasionally because he became so mainstream and so popular.
212
213
On the day my daughter was born, I started writing a book for her. The plan was that, over the course of her life, I’d fill it with advice on how to be a strong woman. But along the way, I got caught up in the stories of Amelia Earhart, Sally Ride, and so many others. So how do you pick the best heroes for your kids?
214
I was a fan of westerns growing up. Every boy wanted to ride a horse and be a cowboy.
215
Everybody should do at least one startup sometime in life. It’s such an amazing ride.
216
Zombies are my ticket to ride! It’s how I get a deal! I don’t care what they are. I don’t care where they came from.
217
My sister is a good story of resiliency. She had a full ride at UC Davis, but she left school to go to the Philippines – and then she decided to go back to school in her 40s, which surprised me. She went to UC Berkeley, and I think she was one of two African Americans in her class at Haas. She’s really impressive.
218
As a journalist, you have to have multiple sources and verifiable science, and when you’ve done that and satisfied the most skeptical voice in your head, you have an obligation to ride through the streets – let people know what’s going on.
219
I’m from Anderson, S.C., but I grew up in the South. So I know what it is to ride to school and have Confederate flags flying from trucks in front of me and behind me, to see a parking lot full of people with Confederate flags and know what that means. I’ve been stopped by police for no reason.
220
221
You see, I don’t know how to ride a motorcycle, actually.
222
223
When I was living in the projects, I had a mop stick for my horse. I wanted to be Gene Autry or Roy Rogers, so I would ride my mop through the projects.
224
I can ride horses. And I read a lot. But that’s kind of it. I think it’s enough.
225
226
You can go back into equestrianism any time – we’ve got a yard back home in Sheffield, and the horses are still there. They’re just on hold for the moment. I can’t ride and play football; it’s too much of a risk.
227
228
My dad was a very quiet person, and unbelievably tough. But my grandmother gave me my first look at negative thinking to bring about positive results. When I was just a little guy, anytime I came to my grandmother and said I wish for this or that, Grandma would say, ‘If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.’
229
230
231
I have a specialized racing bike, which is great because it has a solid build, is comfortable to ride, and is lightweight.
232
I had to relearn how to ride a horse like an ape. I had to change how I jumped off and how I gripped them with my thighs and distribute my weight differently.
233
There are so many things to do in New York. I try to get to the theater and see some plays. I have a bicycle over here, and I ride around New York.
234
235
My kids are one, three, five and eight, and we are all horsey. The kids have got their ponies and can ride. Our foundation mare is special to our hearts. She was one of my first ever horses. She was my first ever winner at Chester, which is also special, and she’s just the apple of our eyes, really.
236
I ride many different cars. Let’s say I would drive 200 different vehicles in a year, so it’s rather difficult to say which car or what car I ride. I love cars.
237
It’s been quite a ride. I loved every minute of it.
238
239
I make my fans feel like they are part of the movement, and if you a fan of the movement, you’re going to feel like you ride with me.
240

241
242
243
244
On a bus ride through China, my family and I had talked for hours before a police officer boarded to conduct an inspection. My mother and brother couldn’t speak Chinese, so they pretended to be deaf and mute, and none of the Chinese passengers said anything, sparing us.
245
246
The first thing that pops into my mind when it comes to playing cowboys is my father, Lloyd Bridges. When I was a little kid, I loved to dress up like a cowboy – put on the boots, hat, and walk around. He was in a lot of westerns, and my dad loved to ride.
247
I want to be like an Undertaker and be around so when your music hits, people go crazy because of that respect that you’ve earned over 20, 25 years of going on the ride for them.
248
249
250
251
In an amusement park, you can go on a roller coaster that carries you up and down, or you can go on another kind of ride that whirls you around in a circle. Similarly, there are different sorts of entertaining experiences in the theater.
252
And I ride horses, swim, do a lot of reading, writing.
253
There’s a lot of great people out here, I just appreciate it and hope everybody has had fun because I’ve enjoyed my ride.
254
255
For years I drove a big Ford F250 pickup. That was my ride because two-thirds of my work was wood work, and I’m always driving up to Northern California, where I harvest salvaged trees.
256
I’ve got to be happy with myself when this ride is over.
257
If being a skateboarder were a personality type and not actually an athletic activity, then I’d say I’m a skateboarder. But I don’t ride one. I’m a bicycle person.
258
I am a big Vespa enthusiast, and I enjoy the state park aspect of California. It’s awfully nice to ride my little scooter through the mountains and then wind up at the ocean.
259
In my formative years, when I was a little kid, I’d get out of elementary school, and because my mother worked as a nurse, I’d have to find a way to get a ride to the high school and watch my dad’s team practice.
260

261
I want to ride my motorcycle up the side of the Luxor to the light and vanish.
262
I’m going to do as much as I can with this life, and then I’m going to make sure to take some time off and be simple and ride my bike and hang out with friends.
263
‘Beyond Glory‘ is responsible for this wave that I’ve been fortunate enough to ride for the last few years. And that I did primarily because I didn’t know what else to do. You might say I did it out of desperation.
264
Certainly, I think being depressed is absolutely part of the human condition, it has to be, if there’s joy there’s its opposite, and it’s something you ride if you possibly can.
265
266
If you’re lucky enough to draw a good horse, you still have to ride him, then the next ones.
267

268
269
270

271
272
I find it tough to ride my bike around Bandra because people recognise me now.
273

274
275
276
In my home, I listen to music; I play music: I play guitar and I play ukelele. And I swim and I ride a bike and I do all the things that everybody else does.
277
One of the things I have to do, and I’m working on it, is making sure I enjoy the ride along the way. I have to remind myself, ‘Take a look around, look at things, and enjoy it.’
278
279
280
The clock, for all its precision in measurement, is a blunt instrument for the psyche and for society. Schedules can replace sensitivity to the mood of a moment, clock time can ride roughshod over the emotions of individuals.
281
It’s been a hell of a roller-coaster ride for me.
282
To ride two horses at the same time is difficult.
283
It’s easy to make an album full of great songs. But I want people to go for the ride. The songs have to make sense together.
284
285
286
287
Take my horse to the old town road and ride till I can’t no more’ basically means just running away, and everything is just gone. The horse is metaphorical for not having anything or just the little things that you do have, and it’s with you.
288
I have had this opportunity to go on a journey and experience the ride of racing cars, of different championships around the world, go-karts, F3, F4, and now F1. It’s been so amazing to be able to experience that. There have been bad days, good days, and it’s been a great ride.
289
The truth is that entrepreneurship is more like a roller coaster ride than a cruise.
290
I just know that all my fans who are with me and going along for the ride, that’s what means the most to me.
291
292
My grandpa was a big cowboy in his values and the way he lived his life. For our family, the ranch represented our family time when we got to drive down through all that desert farmland and Grandpa would wake us up at 5 A.M. to feed the horses if we wanted to earn the right to ride them later. I always had so much fun.
293
294
We never had the most money, but my parents always did their best to take care of me and my brother. I had a real small but tight group of friends, and we would just ride our bikes all day after school and play video games, or we would actually wrestle out in the backyard.
295
296
297
298
299
I love to play games. I really like football, and I also like to ride horses.

My career has been a roller coaster ride. And every actor experiences that phase.
304
305
I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel.
306
Always enjoy the ride, because you don’t know where it’s going, but it’s going to be all right.
307
308
309
We make our public servants jump through quite a few hoops, you know. We get hysterical if they accept a $50 lunch from a lobbyist. We get hysterical if they accept a ride on some corporate jet.
310
Show business is like a bumpy bus ride. Sometimes you find yourself temporarily juggled out of your seat and holding onto a strap. But the main idea is to hang in there and not be shoved out the door.
311
312
I ride my horses three to four times a week.
313
Science fiction is a way that I can go into the abstract, go into the imagination, and audiences are still willing to go along for the ride.
314
315
Jersey gets a bad rap. Most people make an assessment of this state on the ride from Newark Airport into Manhattan.
316
317
I don’t expect that because I was successful in one field that I will then get a ride of passage into another.
318
All horses are different – sometimes they have a long neck – so you don’t ride the same way on every horse. It depends on their body, and your body, but the object is to get down low so you’re aerodynamic, so you call pull from the horse through the head. The best jockeys do that really well, and know how much to push.
319
320
321
322
The creative process is mysterious; a conversation, a ride in the car, or a melody can trigger something.
323
324
325
326
Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.
327
I like to move around a lot – I’m a big runner, and I often get on a bike and ride from meeting to meeting.
328
My dad was a truck driver. We all used to ride along with him. And the way he’d keep awake was to sing while he was going down the road. So we all joined in.
329
330
I’d just love to ride off into the sunset with my love. I’ve only seen the sunset so far. Maybe I can earn my own Ferrari so I can ride off in the sunset without anyone by my side.
331
I used to ride horses when I was younger. Ponies were my life. I miss being fearless.
332
I do kung fu. I box. I ride horses. I like to race cars in a crazy way.
333
Surprisingly, it was not an American but a British company that opened an amusement park in 2007 called Dickens World, located in the English county of Kent, complete with an Ebenezer Scrooge Haunted House, a Great Expectations Boat Ride and the as-advertised ‘costumed Dickensian characters.’
334
Music is always a creative process that comes from the heart. It’s a feeling, a vibration, that we ride on.
335
I worry about kids today not having time to build a tree house or ride a bike or go fishing. I worry that life is getting faster and faster.
336
If you’re going to wear a cowboy hat, you’re going to have to go all the way. You should have livestock around you, settle all of your disputes with a pistol, and ride a horse absolutely everywhere.
337
338
Befriending Pro Bowlers and future Hall of Famers is pretty cool, but I’m just enjoying the ride, looking at every day in the NFL as a memorable moment.
339
340
341
342
Learning how to understand how technology evolves, using tools like a Technology Road Map, is what you need more than anything to ride on top of the tsunami instead of being crushed by it.
343
The fortunes of the entire world may well ride on the ability of young Americans to face the responsibilities of an old America gone mad.
344
The way that I learned to be confident was I would ride the back of the city bus and sing very low.
345
Just as the traditional taxi system revolted against ride sharing, so too does the education establishment feel threatened by the rise of school choice.
346
Reputations can be built, attacked, and destroyed on social media. It’s a huge game-changer – instantaneously emboldening adversaries and shortening the ride for any corporate or personal brand.
347
It’s like, God, I’m in my 80s. Nobody, when I die, is going to say, ‘How young?’ They’re going to say she had a great ride.
348
When you make art, you get really invested in it. When art happens by accident and you were just along for the ride? It’s way more fun.
349
It’s been a rollercoaster ride. There have been some great moments and some low points… like when I was leaving Stax. That’s when I actually thought of getting out of the business.
350
351
Technology has made it possible to order food, buy clothes, get a ride – anything you can think of, really – at the touch of a button. But what about having the right people near you when you need them?
352
Men may change their climate, but they cannot change their nature. A man that goes out a fool cannot ride or sail himself into common sense.
353
354
I’ve accepted that we’ve all got crap to deal with and problems that we’re fighting not to be defined by. At the end of the day, we all want the same stuff: fulfillment, love, support, comfort, and a hot-air balloon with laser guns attached to it. The most important thing is that we appreciate the crazy ride we’re on.
355
The one thing I’m not tempted to ever do is stop working. Retirement would be too tough for me. As a workaholic and an insomniac, I identified with my subject, General Dumas, who, according to field reports, would ride on patrols without sleep sometimes for two nights on end before going into battle – and winning.
356
357
358
I’ve always had some level of having to be independent outside of music because the music wasn’t a smooth ride. We lost a lot in the mix: Everybody that I came in the music game with – friends I brought in with me – are all doing 10-34 years in jail. That’s why if you want to get the real, you gotta get it from me.
359
Even as kids reach adolescence, they need more than ever for us to watch over them. Adolescence is not about letting go. It’s about hanging on during a very bumpy ride.
360
361
362
363
364
When the mood takes me, I like to be a man of action. I like to windsurf and ski, and most of all I love to ride horses. The wilder and faster the better!
365
I always wanted to ride a dragon myself, so I decided to do this for a year in my imagination.
366
367
I started reading G. K. Chesterton’s ‘The Man Who Was Thursday‘ on a subway ride, almost missed my stop, and walked home thumbing pages.
368
That’s really my goal now. I’m trying to be a positive role model to my kids and to just enjoy this ride, because it’s hard. It’s hard to enjoy it when you’re in it.
369
Being an actress wasn’t a plan at all, so what’s happened to me is very strange. Life isn’t very normal, even though I’m still very much a normal girl. I ride the subway, I ride the bus, and all of that.
370
I have a farm in Vermont; that’s my main residence, where I do lots of digging and mowing, and ride tractors – just so you don’t get the wrong idea that I’m too girlie!
371
372
Americans fear losing control if they’re forced to ride in autonomous vehicles. These same Americans fly in airplanes every day that largely are flown by computers, and impressively efficient ones at that.
373
I lead by example. My kids know what sweat is. They’ve seen me come home from so many runs and asked, ‘What’s on your skin? How did you get it?’ And I tell them, ‘It’s from exercise!’ So now my son will come home from a bike ride, take off his helmet and say, ‘Look, Mom. I’m sweating! I just worked out!’
374
Use gentle means before you come to extremity, and whatever lesson you work him, and never take above half his strength, nor ride him till he is weary, but a little at a time and often.
375
376
377
On ‘Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,’ I spent two or three months learning how to ride a motorcycle. I wasn’t really riding the motorcycle in 98 percent of the movie, but the shots of me getting on and off had to look like I had been doing it for years and years.
378
I was enjoying myself writing, because I don’t know what’s going to happen when I take a ride around that corner. You don’t know at all what you’re going to find there. That can be thrilling when you read a book, especially when you’re a kid and you’re reading stories.
379
I try to find some time for my horses. I began when I was a child, because I was born and grew up in a little village. And many people ride the horses. So, it was a big – it has been a big passion for me.
380
381
382
383
384
I’ve had a chance to fly a lot of different airplanes, but it was nothing like the shuttle ride.
385
Lyft Line came out of the vision that we’ve had from the beginning, which is how do we get the most affordable ride to everyone? Eighty percent of seats at all times on the road are empty. In Los Angeles, average car occupancy is 1.1, and if it were 1.3, there would be no traffic.
386
Not everything happens when you expect it; it is what it is. The people who ride with you, ride with you.
387
388
When people help me out, even with something like a move or a ride to the airport, I’m always thinking ‘Are you sure it’s okay? Are you sure you don’t mind?’
389
I suppose there must be idiots who dream of signing deals with publishers while fully intending to drink martinis in cool bars or ride around on skateboards. But the actual writers I know are experts in neurotic self-torture. Every page of writing is the result of a thousand tiny decisions and desperate acts of will.
390
391
My respect for Westerns have gone way, way up. It’s hard and treacherous work. It’s hard to find people these days who can ride horses like that and jump onto trains.
392
393
Playing for England was one long roller-coaster: some ups and downs, but also quite a few moments when you’re not really sure if you’re enjoying the ride.
394
I think there has to be an empathic strike between the reader and the protagonist. There has to be something said or known that connects the reader to this person you’re going to ride through the story with.
395
396
Whenever I come here to Ilocos, I get sentimental because I always remember that as a child, I would ride a bike with my father in Paoay near where they were shooting ‘Panday.’
397
If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it.
398
I do the same things I did when I was 12 years old: I ride bikes, I read books, I walk in the woods. And I listen to music.
399
You can have the most amazing horse in the world and not be able to ride it, so it has to be a good match for sure.
400
Audiences are embracing more and more unique material. I think they can sense the cynicism when people are just cranking something out to try to ride off the success of something else. I think they can feel it.
401
If I could do anything, I’d ride horses all day.
402
I love to ride horses, hike in the woods with Juliette and appraise Longhorns.
403
404
405
I ride the same bike that I rode on ‘Sons,’ a Harley Dyna Super Glide. You know, I wish I wasn’t the guy who rode the same bike he rode on his show, but the problem is there’s no better bike out there.
406
407
408
There are certain fundamental things that scream, ‘I just moved to New York.’ Things like eating cheesecake at Junior‘s or heading out to Coney Island to ride the Cyclone.
409
410
411
412
413
414
415
416
417
I’m made to ride a bike, not do washing.
418
419
I’d call my time at Bayern Munich a roller-coaster ride.
420
It wasn’t easy navigating publicity when I started, because I grew up with ‘being famous,’ and I’m just not into it, and I guess defensiveness gets read into that. And I didn’t get an easy ride at the beginning.
421
422
Life ain’t always beautiful, but it’s a beautiful ride.
423
One thing I’ve learned about life is that if you really let go, it’s just a joy ride.
424
He was very commanding, and you had to know what you were doing to work for Mr. Rogers. I learned how to ride very quickly with him as my riding teacher.
425
426
When I get a beautifully written piece of material, I immediately start imagining how I would interpret it. I love just daydreaming about it for months, breaking it down, seeing where I can spin something. How I can turn this into the most fun ride for the audience that I can make it? That’s my job.
427
428
The first few years I was competing, I’d ride so well in practice, then choke and fall in competition. Now I take a deep breath and say, ‘Look at me. I’m outside. I’m doing what I love.’ Still, nothing’s matched the pressure I felt standing at the top of the halfpipe for the first time at the Olympics.
429
Making a film is so hard that if you don’t have your main actors going along with the ride with the rest of the crew it can make your life very difficult.
430
431
It could be a walk in the park, it could be a ride on your bicycle. It does not have to be an organized team activity… Be as creative as you want, but find a way to get your exercise in.
432
433
There’s this assumption that every British actor, they can ride horses. Definitely not!
434
My dad was always there, even though he wasn’t living in our house. He was always on the phone, always just a car ride away. Whenever he had a new recording, we would be the first to get the acetate. And it would say, in Dad’s handwriting, ‘Play it loud.’
435
It doesn’t have to happen for anybody at all, this acting game, so you have to count your blessings. If I am lucky that the right things have come along at the right time, I’m just going to ride that wave.
436
437
Life is a pretty awesome ride.
438
There are obviously peaks and valleys in everyone’s career. This business can be a roller-coaster ride, and it’s really hard to stay on top all the time. Very few people do.
439
440
441
One of the most important days of my life was when I learned to ride a bicycle.
442
I’ve jokingly said that everything I’m doing now is filling up the hours before I die, but I do feel that slightly. I have no religious beliefs so this is the ride. This is it. So I’m just like anyone, I suppose, trying to fill out the days in the most interesting way possible.
443
‘I’m a Celebrity‘ has been an amazing ride, and I’m walking out of here with some amazing friendships. It’s been awesome.
444
I began cycling round the Serpentine because it was the only closed route in London where I could ride traffic-free.
445
My little boy, West, and my wife, they’re my rock and that’s the thing that keeps driving me to do better at what I do professionally. There was a time in my career where I had been on this huge roller coaster ride and I’d really got in the spot where I could’ve hung up it and just been a songwriter.
446
447
I can’t help but smile when I ride Valegro; I think something, and he does it. I laugh, and I think, ‘God, how does he know? I didn’t even ask. I just thought it.’
448
449
450
451
452
In awe, I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebony void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang, for ever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought… I must put a roof on this toilet.
453
But I went to the University of Texas in the 30s, and while there I learned to ride. Mostly polo ponies.
454
I am disappointed when I don’t win, because I want to believe I can win on every horse I ride, which is a ridiculous thing to think. Even if I’m on a horse that I have woken up thinking has no chance, by the time I’ve reached the course, I’ll have convinced myself that it can win and will be disappointed if it doesn’t.
455
I don’t want a pickle, just want to ride on my motorsickle.
456
I didn’t jump onto anyone else’s coattail and ride their wave.
457
People have this fantasy that it’s all just an easy ride if you know someone important. Well, it’s not. I’ve known lots of people in this business – and it hasn’t really done anything for me.
458
The first year of the Boot Ride was an amazing experience. Seeing people come out from all over, ride and, most importantly, put on their boots, was an inspiration.
459
This is something I’ve always wanted to do- to skate through a part of New York City that thousands of people ride through every week, feeling the energy of one of the original stomping grounds of street skating.
460
461
There’s a line you have when you’re racing, and you can ride up to that line. If you push beyond it, you might crash. But first is first, second is forgotten. That’s what we say.
462
463
Every once in a while, we’d ask my dad if we could get a ride in one of these planes. And, he did take us to the flying club and get us a ride in the Pushpak and a glider that the flying club had.
464
I ride my bike, I work out, I do a bit of, er, dancey things.
465
I would ride my horse to school.
466
My daughter is a horseback rider, so I try to watch her ride; we take holidays together.
467
468
I’ve got to be able to get my time off whether it’s just enjoying my house or the peace and quiet of my family and being there and cooking for them. I love doing that. I also love doing leisure things. I ride horses. I love to shop. I love to drive!
469
In all my wild mountaineering, I have enjoyed only one avalanche ride; and the start was so sudden, and the end came so soon, I thought but little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times.
470
