People have said it’s hypocritical for me to call myself a feminist and make the kind of music we are making, because we signed to a major in the U.K., and that system objectifies women. Or people have complained that I don’t dance. But I like the idea that I can stomp around the stage if I want.
Oprah is signed on to help, and a lot of celebrity friends have agreed to help me raise money for Make-A-Wish. We want to make the world a better place for innocent children.

Elvis walked over and signed a few autographs over the fence. They were screaming. I had never seen this.

I’ve got a basketball signed by all the greats from Julius Irving to Oscar Robinson. It was at an All Star game I got them all to sign it. So that ain’t going nowhere. I’m going to die with that in my casket.
Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you’re signed up for a season, see it through. You don’t have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through.
I’ve signed a few sneakers in my day.
Many a revolution started with the actions of a few. Only 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence. A few hanging together can lead a nation to change.
The expectation in Munich is always high, this expectation I have towards myself personally and to my players. I was aware of that when I signed with Bayern.
If you haven’t signed anything, you cant be ripped off.
I can confirm that Poland should become a eurozone country, and not just because of the treaties that have been signed, but because I consider it of strategic interest both for Poland and the E.U.
I feel like I’ve done Pete Hornberger, and that is a painting I have signed, and I don’t need to play that character anymore. So I’ll get offers for panicky, pathetic guys, and while it’s a great compliment to get them, I feel like I don’t need to play that again.

We saw that our customers required help beyond the data sets they had and that they could benefit from a wider opinion. So we built SurveyMonkey Audience, and we’ve now got 4 million users who signed up to take surveys. Our clients can choose the demographic they want to hear from, and we can provide that sample.
I signed my first film soon after I graduated from college. So, my real struggle started after my first film didn’t do too well. But I believe failure only makes you stronger.
When I signed with WWE and moved to Orlando, my wife and my two kids came with me.
I had signed a four-film contract at the time of the first ‘Deadpool’ film. So I always knew that I’d be working in the subsequent installments of ‘Deadpool.’

With the Beatles, we’d been very spoiled because we had George Martin who worked for the record label we were going to be signed to. That was very fortunate, because we grew together.

We were all ruled by the studio system. I signed a contract for seven years.

I felt very strongly about the Ashley Madison thing. Of the 39 million people who signed up for Ashley Madison, only a tiny percentage of them actually had an affair. And I’d go a step further and say even if they did, it’s none of our business, frankly.
I realized a few years ago that as an actress I’d signed myself up to a life of disempowerment. I’m always waiting for permission to do what I want to do.
I remember having a conversation with Drake just before I signed. He said, ‘Make sure that, whatever you do, your opponent is scared of you.’ That really stuck with me.

Under Wenger I became the player that I am today because he’s the guy that signed me at 16. I owe him a lot and all the time I spent here he made me play so much even when I was really young. Those are things you owe him back.
I give away about 50 percent of my income, so my, you know, desire to give back to the country is pretty strong and I intend to give away a lot more. I’ve signed the giving pledge with Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, and I intend to give away the bulk of my money.
The Declaration on Strategic Partnership between India and Russia signed in October 2000 became a truly historic step. The developments in the first decade of the 21 century confirmed that it was a particularly significant and timely step.
As we learned after President Herbert Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley tariff at the outset of the Great Depression, vibrant international trade is a key component to economic recovery; hindering trade is a recipe for disaster.

My background with AEW is just that, as a fan. I really signed on pretty hard early on. I just had a feeling that that amount of business acumen, and money and talent would just become explosive.

Ann Rutherford

I signed a five-year contract with Barcelona. I’ll be here for a long time.
For me, it’s always been a financial kind of scenario. I was actually the first one who signed the ‘exclusive to Ring of Honor’ contract. I was the first guy who ever signed one of those contracts. That was tough for me because I had no one to talk to. I had no examples to go on. I was the guinea pig.
It seems that for all of the artists signed to a major, there exists the same amount of artists that are struggling to break through to the surface within the label. I think, ideally, we’d end up with a very well connected competent indie team that will be along with us for the ride, however long that ride may be.
Actually, we got signed in November of 2000 with Dreamworks which is the most amazing label. We have friends on other labels and though we are not selling millions of records, yet, they treat us with tons of respect and give us some very good guidance.
When I was a kid, my daily routine was playing make-believe, and I kind of created these stories throughout the day. And when it came time to go to preschool, my English wasn’t really so great because my mother wanted me to learn Ukrainian, so she signed me up for these children’s theater groups.
I think shortly after I got signed, it just started to dawn on me that I had something to say and that Yahweh put something in my heart to share with the world.
Just because I have signed a contract doesn’t mean that he or she has bought me from head to toe.
In 1950, when the Giants signed me, they gave me $15,000. I bought a 1950 Mercury. I couldn’t drive, but I had it in the parking lot there, and everybody that could drive would drive the car. So it was like a community thing.
Released in 1967, ‘Farz’ was the remake of a Telegu film that was turned down by most actors of the time – Manoj Kumar, Shashi Kapoor, Dharmendra… I was the needy and greedy one then and signed the film gladly.

It’s wonderful and reassuring to see ‘Hichki’ doing so well. When I got to know the subject and signed the film, I knew that we were working on an important and sensitive subject. I knew that we had a winner at hand. But as artists, we are always a little anxious about our work, that’s just in our DNA, I guess.
I always say that, I never talked about the NBA, I never talked about anything because I was just playing basketball for fun. I didn’t think about being a professional and I didn’t even know you could be signed.

There was an obvious display of blatant sexism when I couldn’t get signed. They didn’t say I was ugly. They didn’t say that they didn’t like the music. They said I was too old! At 26! So Badly Drawn Boy, Doves, Elbow, James Blunt – you can be a gnarly old beardy bloke with a bit of a paunch and that’s all right?
I dreamt of being an Aerie model before I came to New York. That was one of the main reasons I came to New York and wanted to get signed.

I was honored I was signed to Sony. But later I felt like they weren’t the right team.

A big reason why I signed with WWE in the first place was because my son wanted to see me wrestle in WWE, and he wanted to see me wrestle John Cena.

I was signed to a record label when I was younger. I was in a group, and I just wasn’t – personally, I wasn’t ready to get out there. I don’t know. It was a pop group. Not like the Spice Girls, but when you don’t have any control over anything, it’s disheartening.
I like being signed because you have the support system. It’s all about the growth and labels give you that support you need.
My first two years in the CFL, all I thought of was getting back to the NFL – it was like ‘I’ll put my time in up here and go back.’ Then I went and signed a nice contract in Calgary and was like, ‘Hey, I can make a living up here, this is great football, and I’m having a blast.’

There was this one movie I really wanted to do, with Gregory Peck, ‘Captain Newman, M.D.,’ and Universal said, ‘Well, if you want that, you’re going to have to sign a seven-year contract.’ And I’d already been through that. But I needed it, so I signed.
I signed with Kanye back in 2003, and at that time, ‘The College Dropout’ hadn’t even come out, so he was still relatively unknown compared to where he is now. He wasn’t a household name; people were still calling him ‘Kane.’

When I signed for Real Madrid, it was like a dream.
After my WWE tryout in 2014, I thought for sure that I was going to get signed and that it is finally happening and that I was going to finally be there. Then, when it didn’t happen I was heartbroken. I always think it is because God had a plan for me.
The fans, in their minds, they think once you signed a deal, you sold out. So, in staying independent, I keep my freedom, and I’m not selling out.
When it comes to wildfires, 2013 wasn’t a good year, which is why I’m especially proud that the majority of my wildfire prevention legislation was signed into law today.

This idea that once you get into politics… you are now signed up for lifelong duty being in elective office, makes a fundamental error – and that is believing that the only way you can hold progressive views and implement them is in elective office.
