Our modern world, though infinitely more complex than that of ancient Greece, is also far more superficial. Where the Greeks offered simple psychological training, we live in an age of style and spin in which perceptions of good and evil slither and shift with the political view of the moment.

I met the guys through a friend of a friend, and their former drummer had quit. I wasn’t too familiar with the Chili Peppers before that, so I joined at the end of 88′ and we finished recording Mother’s Milk at the end of 89′, next thing I know I’m in Spin with a sock.

I wrote a song called ‘Four Times A Lady‘ for Destiny‘s Child, and it was perfect. But then I had to spin it back and change all the lyrics to a guy‘s point of view cos I thought the track was too good to give away, heh heh. It’s Craig David now.

How did I write ‘Spin Me?’ I listened to Luther Vandross’s ‘I Wanted Your Love.’

When I first signed to RCA, I was sort of excited and shocked that it was happening. But over the next couple of years, it really started to feel like that game you play when you’re a little kid – the one where you put your nose on a bat and then spin around and try to walk.

I developed the Clock Theory to help me time records; you know, spin the record back two revolutions or whatever and then play the break, spin the other one back two, play, like that.

I find that it’s nice to work with somebody and spin off on someone else‘s feelings. You get a little jaded by yourself.

‘Spin City’ was a really wonderful time for me. I made friends for life on that show. I made friends with Richard Kind, Michael Boatman, Barry Bostwick, Sandy Chaplin. We’re all close. It was a really wonderful time.

The U.S. invaded the wrong country, destroying an odious government that was not responsible for 9/11. I don’t know how you recover from invading the wrong country, no matter how you spin it.

The spot paintings and spin paintings were trying to find mechanical ways to make paintings.

My serve can get better, for sure. It’s not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.

I think it’s really tough being in Donald Trump‘s shoes, when you’ve got the media looking to put the worst possible spin to everything that you say.

Donald Trump, in my judgment, would make a perilous world even more dangerous. I worry that his tendency to lash out and his ill-informed comments would cause dangerous events to escalate and possibly spin out of control at a time when our world is beset with conflicts.

It is always challenging bowling abroad – you don’t get much spin, bounce. You do get bounce, but you don’t get sideways spin. It is always drifting kind of spin you get.

If you’re not vulnerable, and you’re too headstrong and clear about the path you want to take, it won’t help you grow. Vulnerability doesn’t have to be a negative thing. If you take the right spin on it, it can be extremely positive.

This is bad for policy-making – if you cover up the problems, how can you solve them? It also corrodes public trust. Government must be much more honest about the challenges facing the country, if we are to begin to tackle them. Short-term spin must give way to proper long-term strategic thinking.

We should stop selecting leaders from a subset of Oxbridge egomaniacs with a humanities degree and a spell as spin doctor.

I feel like my comedy voice is to take the news and everything that’s happening and put a funny spin on it or to pick out the things I find funny about it.

Directing is mystifying. It’s a long, long, skid on an icy road, and you do the best you can trying to stay on the road… If you’re still here when you come out of the spin, it’s a relief. But you’ve got to have the terror if you’re going to do anything worthwhile.

No idea should be discarded completely, but – as one might imagine – it does take a degree of ingenuity to find a new spin on something as hackneyed as the ‘Adam and Eve’ story. But if you think you’ve got the chops for it, there’s no reason not to try.

Sob, heavy world Sob as you spin, Mantled in mist Remote from the happy.

I have found great power in taking my ‘difference‘ out for a spin in a very public way. And usually, the worst, most personally embarrassing thing you imagine in your mind is often not anywhere near as bad in real life.

Sandy Koufax is a great teacher. He just talks about competitiveness and being aggressive – about stride length, power, how to spin the breaking ball. The way he explains pitching is simple, which is something you don’t see a lot.

When you have an audience standing and screaming the entire way through the short program and cheering every element you do, whether it’s footwork, or spin, or a jump, to have that kind of emotion coming at you from every direction in the building, it’s the most amazing sensation you can get as a sportsman.

My own work in spin glass and its consequences has formed some of the intellectual basis for these interests.

To portray an iconic character has been brilliant in itself, and to be able to do that on a show like ‘Once Upon a Time’ enhances that because the show puts a spin on characters and makes them very different and puts core values that are very different that aren’t in the original fairy tales a lot of people relate to.

That is the thing I’m most grateful for in this industry to be able to spin in those different mediums, with television, film and the stage – at this stage of the game.

A little acting debut in Spin City, with Michael J. Fox, which opened up a whole new door for me.

Literature is an easier way to study acting, because then you can take any kind of spin.

I work with structure, but I go outside the box and give it my own spin. I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes – where a woman‘s personality and sense of style are realized.

We want to connect all these musical worlds together. We just improvise; we know straight away if its going to work or not. They’re not covers – I hate the word cover. We do a transcription: mix it up, put our own spin on it. I think people will be surprised how powerful our show is.

I have different hats; I’m a mother, I’m a woman, I’m a human being, I’m an artist and hopefully I’m an advocate. All of those plates are things I spin all the time.

I won’t go up in a plane, but if a play crashes, I’ll jump into the next one that comes along and take it up for a spin.

Anything that’s outdoorsy and fun, like hiking, biking, running, paddleboarding, swimming in the ocean… and then I’ll mix in Pilates, yoga, spin, ballet.

The truth is that we’re not remaking Sam Peckinpah’s ‘Straw Dogs,’ we’re making ‘Straw Dogs.’ We’re taking this story, and we’re putting our own spin on it. The mere fact that I have James Marsden in it is an indication that it’s a very different film than the one that had Dustin Hoffman in it.

You can get a good handle on a company‘s culture before you even get inside the building. For example, when companies say, ‘We value our employees‘ but have reserved parking spots, a private cafeteria, and over-the-top offices for the executives, that tells you more than any PR spin.

Being nice can be funny. A lot of my jokes are like, ‘Let me take a bad situation and try to put the best spin on it.’

I think the combo of spin and yoga is a yin and yang thing. It’s very important to have balance. I like to bring energy to yoga, and spinning gets you very connected to your core.

I got to watch my heroes meet him and saw how they reacted, whether it was Joe Strummer or Tom Waits. It was peculiar. I’m so stoked to meet Tom Waits, and he’s so nervous to meet my dad. It’s a head spin.

Spin is ‘something is beautiful because we say it’s beautiful.’

That’s always been the driving force on the show, we’re the ones who should be getting put in bad situations not the other people, they’re more like witnesses. That’s really like the big spin that we thought was good.

I think it’s really tough being in Donald Trump‘s shoes, when you’ve got the media looking to put the worst possible spin to everything that you say.

I had a paint pony called Half-Pint, and I rode her in Madison Square Garden, and that was my first big show. But my first real pony was this red pony called Chantal. He was absolutely amazing.

I do my workouts in the morning, and often I’ll take someone from my team. The person I’m meeting with can pick the class, whether it’s a spin or barre class, or going for a power walk. It’s hard to run and talk – I haven’t mastered that yet.

To apply spin with security, you must learn to make a snug bridge with your forefinger looped over the cue. When you hit the cueball, follow straight through; don’t let your cue rise in the air after impact.

The only description for Nolan in the script was that he’s a very bad dresser. I put on a red windbreaker and every other ugly, ill-fitting thing I could dig out. He was potentially written as a clean-cut nerd, but I wanted a darker spin.

When I wrote ‘Noughts and Crosses‘, I was halfway through it when I realised this was very like ‘Romeo and Juliet‘… as long as you make it your own, and put your own spin on it, I think it’s brilliant to use other great work to find your own voice.

I grew up in an era where the perfect drive was a line drive, with quite a bit more spin.

What’s different now is that while political leaders used to give talking points to talk radio, now talk-radio hosts are giving talking points to political leaders.

The way that Dickens structured his books has a form that we most readily recognize now from, say, the great T.V. series, like ‘The Wire‘ or ‘The Sopranos.’ There’s one central plot line, but then from that spin off all kinds of subplots.

Healthy debate has been replaced by automatic sensors that eliminate the need for actual talking during a filibuster – a la ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.’ Robust debate is necessary in a democratic society. Instead, our discourse has been relegated to media spin by expert entertainers.

I like to dress pretty basic during the day, but with a sophisticated bohemian spin, and sometimes a little rock chic. At night I like to go glamorous.

We’re sort of putting a slightly different spin on Steve Rogers. He’s a guy that wants to serve his country, but he’s not a flag-waver. We’re reinterpreting, sort of, what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was.

I experimented with every kind of class possible – yoga, spin, Pilates, rowing – but it was all haphazard, cobbled together by trial and error.

Trump wants to repeal birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens, so Fox has joined conventional liberal opinion in opposing it. Welcome to Fox’s My Spin Zone.

I realized the world spins without me having to spin it.

Every audition is different, but I get incredibly nervous and insecure and worked up for however long I have to prep – that’s when I get to spin. But you’re not allowed to spin once you enter the room. Doubt really can’t enter the room when you’re auditioning – unless it’s part of the character.

People ask how I can be a conservative and still want higher taxes. It makes my head spin, and I guess it shows how old I am. But I thought that conservatives were supposed to like balanced budgets. I thought it was the conservative position to not leave heavy indebtedness to our grandchildren.

I try to put a positive spin on things.

When you’re actually president, the spin matters a lot less.

I felt that ‘Deep Space’ was the way to do a spin off series of an existing franchise where you really are doing a very different show. It’s a different format. It’s a different feeling.

One needs to have variations. You won’t survive if you don’t have one – especially playing in India, as they are good players of spin.

People shouldn’t look at me and think life is one big piece of glamour. That’s the marketing, the spin. Life is challenging. But I have courage, strength, and enough good health to see the positive.

What I’m very upset about is the attempt to dictate to museums what they show, and the statements made by politicians in Washington that have curtailed the freedom of the National Endowment for the Arts.

The media loves negative spin.

The spin overwhelms the substance. That’s very clearly what happened.

No idea should be discarded completely, but – as one might imagine – it does take a degree of ingenuity to find a new spin on something as hackneyed as the ‘Adam and Eve’ story. But if you think you’ve got the chops for it, there’s no reason not to try.

Art is not boosterism, it’s not propaganda, and it’s not spin, but that’s not something that art does, and nor has it historically ever done it.

You could go out on a Sunday spin in Carrick-on-Suir, and it’s a small town, but you could have 80 riders. That wouldn’t even be everyone, in the group. It’s just such a good environment to bring guys through, the support and the experience.

I’m really looking at questions of power, navigation, and spin. Then I am also looking for real-world stories that give me greater insight into smart and new ways of thinking.

Who’s not played spin the bottle? But I never done the kiss version. I always wanted to, but I never did. We did the truth or dare one instead.

I try to put a positive spin on things.

The principal reason for the universe‘s poker face is that its constituents are far away. Stars careen through space, and galaxies spin at speeds thousands of times faster than a jet plane. But given their distance, you’d need the patience of Job to notice much change in their appearance or position.

I struggle with the idea of comparing people’s work and art. The notion of giving awards or putting a competitive spin on something that is a relative art form is sort of odd to me.

There aren’t that many people that cover my music. It’s kind of hard to cover. Everybody always has their own spin. The only guy who didn’t, I think, was Seal. It just sounded like a bad version of ‘Fly Like an Eagle.’

Sometimes you have to stutter step; sometimes you have to spin inside. You have to run some games.

I developed the Clock Theory to help me time records; you know, spin the record back two revolutions or whatever and then play the break, spin the other one back two, play, like that.

New terms used like, ‘overseas contingency operation‘ instead of the word ‘war‘ – that reflects a worldview that is out of touch with the enemy that we face. We can’t spin our way out of this threat.

‘Bring Me The Head of The Taskmaster’ is a unique chance for one person to prove they are the ultimate Tasker. This interactive book is more than just a spin off, it provides a unique ‘Taskmaster’ experience into which you can dive and then swim around in search of treasure.
