She had curiously thoughtful and attentive eyes; eyes that were very pretty and very good.

Certainly not every good program is object-oriented, and not every object-oriented program is good.

I think of myself as Mirren rather than Mironova, absolutely. I am a Brit, really. I mean when I go to Russia and I do have, maybe it’s a romantic fantasy. You know us actors, we’re very good at romantic fantasies.
The reality is we are 0-3. The reality is that we can still be a very good football team. We need to show that on Monday night.
A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is alright. This is common sense really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not well you are sleeping.

You can certainly extend your adolescence. There’s people that are very good at extending it indefinitely.

As a fairly objective judgment, I do think that my plays as they come out are better than most other things that are put on the same year. But that doesn’t make them very good necessarily.
Every good thing great and small needs defense
Ist es an und fu? r sich absurd, das Nichtsein fu? r einUbel zu ? halten; da jedes Ubel wie jedes Gut das Dasein zur Voraussetzung hat, ja sogar das Bewusstsein.

I am very good at what I do. I am better at it than anybody else.
I tend to lose myself in the moment. I’m not very good at holding back. I don’t know how to do this without feeling everything. My emotions are the tool I use to perform.
I’m a very good thinker, but I sometimes grab the wrong word. I say something I didn’t think through adequately. I mean, I don’t type my speeches, then sit up there and read them off the teleprompter, you know. I wing it.
We run around so much – with the best intentions: I want to save the rain forest. I’ve gotta clean up the oceans. I’ve gotta save the dolphins. All worthy efforts, but if you’re not centered and you don’t have the serenity in your life you need to accomplish that task, you’re not going to do a very good job.
I’ve bought DBSK’s CD and every time I listen to their songs I feel very good.
One of the problems I have with many writers is their stories are all somewhat similar. They might be very good, but they’re always on the same turf. I don’t have those limitations.

I live a very balanced life. I am very good at delegating responsibilities.
I’m in a very good place now because I do theater, I do TV and I make movies. I was a dancer, so I dance a little bit. I was a musician, so I do a little bit of music. And I do all of this in four or five different languages, and all over the world.
Neymar is undoubtedly the best player in Brazil. He deserves to play in the best team in the world; next to the best player in the world, Messi.He is a very good player with great quality and a great future.I have no doubt. For me, Neymar is a genius.
I made, over the years in Cambridge, several very good American friends, and America appeared to me, a land of promise in every sense of that word, a land of freedom from the inhibitions and restrictions that I felt in England.
That is a very good question. I don’t know the answer. But can you tell me the name of a classical Greek shoemaker?
There wasn’t very much time between wrapping Revolutionary Road and starting The Reader. It was about five and a half months, which, for me, isn’t that long. Some actors are very good at just going from one thing to another but I’ve always been a bit useless at that. The preparation time is important for me.
I don’t know video games.The last video game I played, apart from Dance Dance Revolution at Jeremy‘s house, which I was very good at – Scarlett [Johansson] and I will always have “Billie Jean” – was Super Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo. I’m from the Dark Ages.
I’ve worked with some very good directors and some very bad ones. I learned a great deal from both. From the bad, untalented people, you learn what not to do. And when you work with very highly talented people, you want to emulate them.

For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.

I was a writer. I just wasn’t a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I’d be a better actor than I would a playwright.
Very good. It was perfect.
Jimmy Page is an excellent producer. Led Zeppelin I and II are classics. As a player he’s very good in the studio, but I’ve never seen him play well live. He’s sloppy. He plays like he’s got a broken hand and he’s two years old. If you put out a good album and play like a two year old, what’s the purpose?
I was taking piano lessons with a very good piano instructor in Toronto, and I’m afraid due to my schedule and discipline, it kind of fell apart. One thing lead to another and I was unable to practice as much as I wanted to.
In the States, I think, the syllogism goes like this: ‘free markets solve all problems. Free markets aren’t solving global warming, QED global warming is not a problem’. It’s not a very good syllogism but it’s emotionally comforting if you’re in that world.

It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.

The safest genre is the horror film. But the most unsafe – the most dangerous – is comedy. Because even if your horror film isn’t very good, you’ll get a few screams and you’re okay. With a comedy, if they don’t laugh, you’re dead.
Have a very good reason for everything you do.
The nation’s non-co-operation is an invitation to the Government to co-operate with it on its own terms, as is every nation‘s right and every good government‘s duty.
It’s how creativity works. Especially in humans. For every good idea, ten thousand idiotic ones must first be posed, sifted, tried out, and discarded. A mind that’s afraid to toy with the ridiculous will never come up with the brilliantly original.
For many years, I have kept in my office an ink drawing of two smiling figures with their arms around each other: Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha, with the caption: “Jesus and Buddha must be very good friends.” They are not the same, but they are friends, not enemies, and they are not indifferent to one another.

Here we find that JnГўna, Bhakti, and Karma – all come to one point.
All of the youth ferment on campuses is a very good thing. Lots of people are being permanently transformed and will do good thing throughout their lives. However, young people must be careful not to be coopted, even by labor unions and the like. They must keep their eye on a radical transformation of society.
I’m very good at living out of a suitcase. I love dressing up every morning. It feels like a costume, in some ways.
God’s plan is not to abandon this world, the world which he said was “very good.” Rather, he intends to remake it. And when he does he will raise all his people to new bodily life to live in it. That is the promise of the Christian gospel.

We have a very good head thing but we don’t make love.
For a very long time now I’ve been saying to young women, ‘You can have it all, but not all at the same time.’ How important it is to take very good care of yourself, of your mental and physical and spiritual wellbeing; it’s hard to do. It’s easier to be a workaholic than to have a truly balanced life.
I wasn’t taking so many drugs that it was messing up my creative processes. It was a very good period, 1968 – there was a good feeling in the air. It was a very creative period for everyone.

Behind your every bad fate, almost always there lie your own stupid mistakes! Behind your every good fate, almost always there lie your own clever deeds! Skies have nothing whatsoever to do with your fate!

I’ve always been a bit of a mix between art and technology. I used to paint a lot, but I’m not very good with my hands. It has always been a fusion between my computer gaming interests and being exposed to the rich data of society that we live in.
I’m not a very good writer. I’m working at it.
In my 10 years that I spent out in TV and film, I had my shares of frustrations and annoyances and disappointments, but also I think it was, in the long run, it was very good for me in a whole bunch of ways.

There are very good Christians who are compassionate and caring. And there are very bad Christians. You can say that about Islam, about Hinduism, about any faith.

When I wrestled in College, my team was very good.
An intellectual hatred is the worst, So let her think opinions are accursed. Have I not seen the loveliest woman born Out of the mouth of Plenty’s horn, Because of her opinionated mind Barter that horn and every good By quiet natures understood For an old bellows full of angry wind?
For the last 30 years our cinemas have been ruled by science fiction and horror. We’ve had some very good Fantasy films in that time period, but for my tastes I still haven’t seen fantasy done to absolute perfection. That is the hope I have in this project.

Ralph… would treat the day’s decisions as though he were playing chess. The only trouble was that he would never be a very good chess player.
I will say that is a quality I love about great directors, which is the ability to give you one word that can inspire you. I appreciate a director with a very good vocabulary. There are so many directors that I have worked with that can give you one word.
Would it not be better to have it understood that realism, in so far as the word means reality to life, is always bad art — although it may possibly be very good journalism?
Most of the poems I write go through forty versions and then stay in a file on my computer. I’m not very good at sending stuff out or feeling that something is ready to send out and I never have been. Part of the problem is that as soon as a poem is finished, it stops being all that interesting to me.
Women are very attracted to a low voice because it’s linked to testosterone, which for millions of years was a sign that men had very good spacial skills and would have been very good at hunting and finding their way back home.
A war regarded as inevitable or even probable, and therefore much prepared for, has a very good chance of eventually being fought.

Without our suffering, our work would simply be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption.

Weasels–and stoats–and foxes–and so on. They’re all right in a way–I’m very good friends with them–pass the time of day when we meet, and all that–but they break out sometimes, there’s no denying it, and then–well, you can’t really trust them, and that’s the fact.
A bad boy can be very good for a girl.

Broadway has been very good to me. But then, I’ve been very good to broadway.

I haven’t actually seen a Lady Gaga tour, but I do think she’s very good.
I really think that I don’t mind people sleeping during my films, because I know that some very good films might prepare you for sleeping or falling asleep or snoozing. It’s not to be taken badly at all.

I saw a study the other day showing that some atypical anti-psychotic was at least as good as mood stabilizers in preventing suicide. It’s a very good thing to decrease suicide but we should care at least a little if I’m not killing myself because I feel better or if I just can’t remember where I put the damn gun.
I use Windows; ’98 second edition and it works very good for me. You know, I just started on the computer about 9 months ago and am fascinated with the possibilities. I don’t know what I would do without it now.

I have great respect for Bernie Sanders, there was a moment where he opposed the Paris Deal… I was frustrated with him, but he and I have a very good relationship… and I have great affection for him, but I do think when he criticized the Paris agreement, I didn’t think it was the right position.
I was a very good girl for a long time, that’s what really drew me to acting. The stage was the perfect place to be outrageous, to be sad, to be angry, to be all these different things.
But then acting is all about faking. We’re all very good at faking things that we have no competence with.
I got into songwriting because I’m not very good at communicating sometimes, just my true words, so music was always my way of expressing myself and being able to put things into lyrics that I couldn’t say necessarily in my everyday life.
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters. I wish you all very good lives.
I am very good at finding snow when there’s very little snow. From a day in, day out perspective, I’m fine. I see resorts that are closed because they no longer have snow. It’s not my home resort. There are signs all over the place. I’m very passionate about climate change, which is why I created Protect Our Winters.
Don’t feel like you have to take every suggestion people give you. Not every good idea is a God idea.

I love my hunting dog. I loved my hunting dog – I’m not very good at hunting.

I came into science fiction at a very good time, when the doors were getting thrown open to all kinds of more experimental writing, more literary writing, riskier writing. It wasn’t all imitation Heinlein or Asimov. And of course, women were creeping in, infiltrating. Infesting the premises.
What I didn’t know at the time [of my scholarship] was that the ceramic class was not really a very good class.

It turns out we’re very good at not seeing things

Everybody that I’ve ever seen that enjoyed their job was very good at it.
Every good time that goes on too long turns into a hell.

And they’re also very good at math, these super boogers, and so they teach Billy the ways of mathematics.
China‘s social media is becoming more and more influential; I think this is a very good thing. In China, social media gives people an outlet to post about themselves, to find out information from other people. Everyone is very focused on social media and this will be the same in the future.
I don’t know why femininity should be associated with weakness. Women should be free to express who they are without thinking, ‘I need to act like a man, or I need to tone it down to be successful.’ That’s a very good way to keep women down.
Economists are very good at saying that something cannot go on forever, but not so good at saying when it will stop.

I’ve always been a very good heel!
The reality is sometimes markets don’t exist for very good reasons. It might be that there isn’t a deep customer need. Or the economic model is just hard to pull off. Or maybe there is a regulatory barrier.
The attempt to live that way, the attempt to treat everybody – it fails all the time – but the attempt to treat people as equals is a good attempt. It’s a very good attempt. And there have been very few governments that have come anywhere near it in the past. The Greeks began to, the Romans began to – they both failed.
I think most newspapermen by definition have to be liberal; if they’re not liberal, by definition of it, then they can hardly be good newspapermen. If they’re preordained dogmatists for a cause, then they can’t be very good journalists.
Without the incarnation, Christianity isn’t even a very good story, and most sadly, it means nothing. “Be nice to one another” is not a message that can give my life meaning, assure me of love beyond brokenness, and break open the dark doors of death with the key of hope.
For example, Americans seem reluctant to take on Shakespeare because you don’t think you’re very good at it – which is rubbish. You’re missing out here.
In terms of Iran and in terms of Saudi Arabia, of course they hate each other. That’s no great secret. But John Kerry, who is I think doing a very good job, has tried to at least get these people in the room together because both of them are being threatened by ISIS.

It as if you took a lot of very good food and some dog excrement and blended it all up so that you can’t possibly figure out what’s good or bad. It’s an intimate mixture of rubbish and good ideas, and it’s very hard to disentangle the two, because these are smart people; they’re not stupid.
Poetry and music are very good friends. Like mommies and daddies and strawberries and cream – they go together.
I’ve got Asperger’s syndrome and I’m not a very good people person, so I’ve always been more comfortable around machinery. Not in a weird way – I don’t want to marry my car or anything stupid like that!
I don’t think there’s a single person on this planet that doesn’t have a day when they feel like they’re off, like they’re not doing a very good job of being them. We all relate to having highs and lows. Everyone gets depressed.
I wasn’t a smart kid and I still don’t think I’m too smart when it comes to book smart, but I was very good with what I knew and with my craft and I think that was my calling in life. But even today I never went to college.
There are so many good guitarists out there, I am by no means a very good guitar player.
I show off – I’m a very good show off. It’s what I do, it’s what I’m good at.
Why do I write about China? That is a very good question. I think there are questions about China that I haven’t been able to answer. The reason I write is that there are questions to which I want to find answers – or I want to find questions beyond those questions.
You’re not going to tell me that you’re going to find a person who’s not a very good athlete and he or she is going to be a great player. But anyone can play the game.

There seem to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I’m surprised aren’t being used on MTV.
These concerns (for orphan children in India and elsewhere in the world) are very good, but often these same people are not concerned with the millions that are killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers.

This is my life. it is my one time to be me. i want to experience every good thing.
The Sierra Club is a very good and a very powerful force for conservation and, as a matter of fact, has grown faster since I left than it was growing while I was there! It must be doing something right.
I love shooting guns. I would never shoot an animal or hunt, but I probably would be a very good hit woman. It’s hand-in-glove for me.
I’m good at working, but I’m very good at playing.

The Buddhist, who thanks no man, who says “Do not flatter your benefactors,” but who, in his conviction that every good deed can by no possibility escape its reward, will not deceive the benefactor by pretending that he has done more than he should, is a Transcendentalist.

I have a very good relationship with myself. My favourite quote is, “What you think about me is none of my business.”
If you’ve got the power to raise prices without losing business to a competitor, you’ve got a very good business. And if you have to have a prayer session before raising the price by a tenth of a cent, then you’ve got a terrible business. I’ve been in both, and I know the difference.
Jogging is very beneficial. It’s good for your legs and your feet. It’s also very good for the ground. If makes it feel needed.
Marsh: Our best efforts were never even a mild annoyance to the Lord Ruler.” Kelsier: Ah, but being an annoyance is something that I am very good at. In fact, I’m far more than just a ‘mild’ annoyance–people tell me I can be downright frustrating. Might as well use this talent for the cause of good, eh?
Living with reality is a very good trick, it gives you tremendous freedom and it changes the structure of the molecules of your soul by living with reality because you don’t expect anything anymore. Which is a weird paradox.
I only ever really take out my guitar when I’m miserable, which isn’t necessarily a very good time to do it.
I cook British food, but it doesn’t mean I’m jingoistic about it. People can cook very good fusion food.

A great chess player always has a very good memory.
You did good Roza. Very good. Now sleep.

Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse. . . В Remember that in order to recover as an artist, you must be willing to be a bad artist. В Give yourself permission to be a beginner. В By being willing to be a bad artist, you have a chance to be an artist, and perhaps, over time, a very good one
Everywhere we look, the world urges us to turn on the radio or TV, to make a phone call, to see a movie. Many of us fear, worry, that if left alone with our thoughts and feelings, we may discover that we do not make very good company for ourselves.
I’m very, very family oriented. I’m a big cook and a good connoisseur and I only drink very good red wines now.
Studios are an assembly line. They can be a very good assembly line. As a producer, you concentrate on one project at a time. As an executive, you’re in charge of a slate.
Holland is very good at avant garde, probably due to the Dutch character. Good at design. Experimentation sometimes works here very well.
The United States has done some very good things in the world, and that does not change the fact that the World Court was quite correct in condemning the United States as an international terrorist state.
This is a donut. It is very sweet, and very good. But if you’ve never tasted a donut, you wouldn’t really know how sweet and how good a donut is… meditation is like that. Transcendental Meditation gives an experience much sweeter than the sweetness of this donut.
Everyday people are not very good designers.
In a hyper-connected world where average is over, there is one thing we know absolutely for sure: Every good job will require more education.

I’d much rather turn down a starring role in a bad picture and do a small role in a very good picture.

The only warmth, the only peace.
The only warmth, the only peace.
I guess I should have forgotten about it ages ago, but forgetting isn’t something I’m very good at.
The “Bhagavad Gita” is actually a very good text for yoga – the yoga of love, the yoga of action or karma, the yoga of understanding of intellect, and the yoga of reflection and meditation. I think it’s a very important map for understanding the nature of consciousness.
Its a very good book and i wish i read it first than anyone else!!!!
Divorce has been very, very good to me.

I feel like I’m really blessed and lucky that I have a very good social life outside of the gym, and I have a really amazing family. My parents are so supportive. I have a younger brother and two younger sisters, and they’re really awesome. So I feel like I get the best of both worlds.
One of the great questions of philosophy is, do we innately have morality, or do we get it from celestial dictation? A study of the Ten Commandments is a very good way of getting into and resolving that issue.
It’s a very good thing for students also to be exposed to people who aren’t film students or film scholars but who work in the world of film.
I wasn’t very good about the pain. I started screaming for painkillers after the third contraction and didn’t stop until my daughter was eating solid food.
I’m not a writer, but I’m very good at editing. That’s my specialty. I can read something and tell you everything that’s wrong with it and what’s great about it and what needs to change, but it’s hard for me to organize my thoughts.
I want to become a very good writer.
People, and especially theologians, should try to familiarize themselves with scientific ideas. Of course, science is technical in many respects, but there are some very good books that try to set out some of the conceptual structure of science.
Beautiful tunes are all very good and fine, and great musicians are always great, but that alone isn’t enough.
What I like about it is that I’m not somebody who’s in movies. I’m a guy who’s not very good going around the track with a bunch of guys who are a hell of a lot better.
I don’t believe in awards. It’s very good for the ego, I suppose.
Instead of putting cheese with ranchero sauce, chile is really very good for you. If you put that in, you get flavoring, so you’re not eating bland food, especially if you’re used to spicy food.
A lot of people describe me as an electronic producer, but I actually wouldn’t have described myself that way until maybe three months ago when I felt I was getting some really good production jobs with very good people. I would have always said, I’m a singer. I think the album brings the voice to the front, and makes that clear.
My dad played for a coal-mining team in eastern Ohio; he was a very good pitcher. If he hadn’t hurt his arm, he probably would have got a shot somewhere. He hurt his arm one spring, didn’t warm up good enough, couldn’t throw a fastball anymore. Another coal miner taught him how to throw the knuckleball.
God gave me a very good hand to play over my 88 years. I have no regrets.
I don’t think modesty is a very good virtue, if it is a virtue at all. A modest person will drop the modesty in a minute. It’s a learned affectation.
Some after-the-fact storytelling is inevitable, and, in fact, very good and useful. But then we want always to be able to enrich the stories, or maybe change the stories with a fresh infusion of specificity.
I’m not always happy when Hollywood does remakes of films, but that’s usually, when they have a very, very, very good film and they take away anything controversial from it and make flatter.
To write more from memory and to be more creative – I think – because I am still writing about Los Angeles but I can’t walk out my door and immediately drive to places I am writing about. So I think it has been a very good change for me after 11 books to start writing this way.
The only thing I wouldn’t like to do is to play roles as a musician. I’m not sure that I would be comfortable doing that, and I’m not sure I’d be very good at it. I think I would be better served, and would be a better partner, if I was in something outside of myself.
It’s not like I’m starved for company – I have a few very good lady friends – but there’s only a certain amount of times a woman wants to see you and never go out for dinner.
They say that only very good friends quarrel. But at the end of the day a quarrel is a fight between two people’s egos. Since people cannot understand each other by just being honest. May be its impossible to live your whole life without getting hurt but don’t hurt the people close to you.
I was convinced before the game that we had a very good chance but today was what you would call in Germany a blackout.
We begin every act of choice and avoidance from pleasure, and it is to pleasure that we return using our experience of pleasure as the criterion of every good thing.

I am very good with dialects, but the two that I can’t do for some reason are the South African and Australian.
True, but if it’s good it’s going be so very, very good.
In America our public schools are intended to be religiously neutral. Our teachers and schools are neither to endorse nor to inhibit religion. I believe this is a very good thing.
The truth be told, the World Trade Center was neither a very good work of architecture nor a very successful piece of urbanism. Its shortcomings were somewhat mitigated by the westward and southward expansion of the World Financial Center and Battery Park City during the 1980s.
The really good idea is always traceable back quite a long way, often to a not very good idea which sparked off another idea that was only slightly better, which somebody else misunderstood in such a way that they then said something which was really rather interesting.
In certain areas I don’t function well and in other areas I function very well. I’m very good professionally. I have good discipline, I’m able to write every day and do films and not go six times over the budget. I mean I’m a coherent person, but I also don’t like to go through tunnels when I travel. I’m claustrophobic.
Alric looked up at the thief with a scowl. “I just want to say for the record that as far as royal protectors go, you’re not very good.” “It’s my first day,” Royce replied dryly. “And already I’m trapped in a timeless prison. I shudder to think what might have happened if you had a whole week.
I never take pictures. Skies are much larger in reminiscences and my friends are much better-looking. Photos crop reality into little squares; instead, I have very good binoculars.
It is a very good quality in a man to have a trout-stream.
I’m still not a very good white wine, but I’m drinkable – you could put me in a punch, anyway.

Very good in the Back to the Future movies, but was born to play Caroline in the City.
Marriage is a very good thing, but I think it’s a mistake to make a habit out of it.
I know a lot of people who are very good at their craft who have learned – people behind the camera – who really have a lot to offer because they know what they’re doing, they know what to do, they’ve made their mistakes.
I have had lots of friends who’ve been affected by Aids and a very good friend of mine, Oscar Moore, died of Aids and I was with him in his last year quite a bit. And of course he was a man living in a very rich culture with a wealthy family who was able to afford health care.
The only difficulty is that I’m playing to two audiences, and it’s too bad the noise detracts from the show, because it’s a great show. I’ve seen my own self out there, and it’s a very good musical show. Sometimes the show gets lost in the hysteria and sometimes it doesn’t.
I got a very good life. I sold plenty of records, I get recognized plenty, I can always have somebody call up and get me a fine table at a restaurant. What do you really need, ultimately?
I love to relax. It’s my favorite thing in the world. I am very good at being like a grandma and staying in and watching Game of Thrones or a movie. I think I could do that every night.
It’s quite stressful knowing that every time you walk out the door, someone is going to be giving you a very good look up and down, judging everything you wear.
I became a loner. I became a mountain man. A lot of those things are very good qualities and they help you do your work, help you be singular and keep the artistic integrity of your work intact, but they don’t make it very easy to live your life.
Economic freedom is very important for women empowerment. They must be partners in economic development also. I have seen that women are very good at adapting to latest technology. We should link women and technology up-gradation.
The secret of life’, he said, ‘is to become very very good at somethin’ that’s very very ‘ard to do.
There are very few players who know what to do when they’re not marked. So sometimes you tell a player: that attacker is very good, but don’t mark him.
Could we have prevented in 100% certainty? I don’t think anything is that certain. However, we would have had a very, very good chance for preventing it.
George Mitchell was a very good leader, and we were more than satisfied with his leadership. And I know the guys were jealous.
It’s good for my fans to be able to connect with me as a person because I am a very normal 15-, 16-year-old girl. I still get in trouble. I still have boy problems and friend problems so it’s just very good for my fans to see that.
I think a lot of that album [“Tonight” ] is still very good . . . the songs, but I think I was indifferent to the arrangements.
I don’t hold on to fear as much as I used to, because I’ve learned a lot about genuinely not caring what strangers think about me. It’s very liberating. It’s very empowering, and I’ve learned a lot of that from Jay-Shawn Carter-Z, because his approach to life is very internal. It’s a very good lesson to learn.
In fact, corporations are the infants of our society – they know very little except how to grow (though they’re very good at that), and they howl when you set limits. Socializing them is the work of politics. It’s about time we took it up again.
I try to make myself, and subsequently the audience, as uncomfortable as possible, whether it’s completely desecrating a song they thought was one thing, or getting too drunk to really do a very good job.
I will say it’s great to be a woman because we’re very good at multitasking. I could nurse and cook dinner at the same time. It is juggling. It’s juggling and you’ve got to commit to working on the weekends – I do both.
Local television is a slightly different story. It is under much more pressure in the same way that all local businesses are, whether that’s a local newspaper, local radio or local television. But I think television in the aggregate is actually in very good shape.
I loved movies. They inspired me more than anything growing up and wanted to do for others what those movies have done for me. I do a lot of other creative stuff but am not very good at it.
Spending $1 for a brand new house would feel very, very good. Spending $1,000 for a ham sandwich would feel very, very bad. Spending $19,000 for a small family car would feel, well, more or less right. But as with physical pain, fiscal pain can depend on the individual, and everyone has a different threshold.
No producer should revive a play unless they have a very good reason for it. I think there’s quite enough about a good play to make it available to new audiences.
Well my taste wasn’t very good when I first started out. But later, when I began to appreciate the art of acting, I would say the actress I most admire is Vanessa Redgrave.
And I love to speak – I am very good at it. And if you love to do something, you’re very good at it, and also you are paid well, why would you not do it? Why would you stop?
Competition is very good… as long as its healthy. It’s what makes one strive to be better.
I think writers can get a little melodramatic sometimes about their work, and it helps me not to do that, to just say, “Well, this is how I make a living, and I need to become a very good craftsman.”
Seeing TVXQ’s music and stage makes me feel touched, and they’re a very good influence on us.
A state may launch a pre-emptive strike if it has very good reason for thinking that another state is preparing for war.
I wasn’t a very good student. I prefer to learn by experience.
It’s more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera
It’s hard not to be kind of pessimistic about human beings generally, because we do tend to mess things up. If you just look at the history of extinctions, we’ve killed off an awful lot of animals – and I don’t think we’re doing a very good job of looking after the planet.
My whole view of music completely flipped over on its head. I grew up listening to punk rock, SST. I liked people that were making music that weren’t necessarily very good at their instruments, it was more about the ideas they had than how well they could play and sing.
I’ve never thought of myself as being particularly brave – I used to be frightened of the dark when I was small. And I’m not very good with dead rats and things like that. But I face what has to be faced and I hope as best as I’m able.
If I’m selecting a group, the first thing I look for is a record of achievement . . . If (candidates achieve) in small things, there’s a very good chance they’ll perform well in big things.
Cheyenne Autumn was received not too successfully. I still think it was a very good movie. It was kinda Ford’s apology for the way he had treated Indians in his past pictures.
I think the most rewarding part of the job, and I think most coaches would say it, is practice. If you have it, a very good practice in which you have 12 guys participate, and they can really get something out of it, lose themselves in practice.
My history’s not very good, but did David win?
I expect us to be good; very good. I expect us to first and foremost be better than we were last year and get back to having this franchise as one of the premier franchises on and off the court, and I think we have the opportunity to do that this upcoming season. I really believe that.
Reciprocating oral sex is, in general, a very good idea!

There are some very good people in television, but a lot of fools running it.
My real goal is the Olympics. It’s going to be tough but it was very good preparation to play here.
I used to work at NASA in Virginia. It was nothing glamorous; I was just tasked with making code compile for obscure projects, and I wasn’t very good at it. Now I spend most of my time drawing pictures and looking at funny things on the Internet, which in retrospect is largely what I did at my old job, too.
I’ve never forgotten for long at a time that living is struggle. I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for – whether it’s a field, or a home, or a country.
Sex, drugs, and rock and roll is all my brain and body need. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll is very good indeed.
Lights! Lights would be very good right now! (Amanda) Since they hurt my eyes to the point I can barely see, no they wouldn’t. Trust me. (Kyrian) Trust you, my left foot! I’m not immortal over here! (Amanda) Yeah, well, in a bad enough car wreck, neither am I. (Kyrian) I really hate your sense of humor. (Amanda)
Something in me knows where I’m going, and – well, painting is a state of being. … Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing.
I have to feel that each thing I’ve learned I can push to another point next time. I’m not very good with repetition. I would rather not work than feel that repetition is the order of the day.

I am in very good health. I’ve never felt better.
Ambitious failure, magnificent failure, is a very good thing.
Bush is a nice fellow who gives very good parties. I just wish someone would find him a better job than running the country.

There are certain actors who are very good at improvising, like Dustin Hoffman and Glenda Jackson.
It is not good that man should be alone. … Hitherto all things that have been named, were approved of God to be very good: loneliness is the first thing which God’s eye named not good: whether it be a thing, or the want of something, I labour not.
I write music, and I want people to listen to it and care about it and have it make some difference in their lives. When I’m fortunate for that to happen, then of course I feel very, very good about it.
Not being well-versed in that arena myself, it’s a little bit frightening because I’m not very good in those situations with lots of people and lots of famous people and cameras and all of that. It’s not my specialty.
I don’t think many people have a very good understanding of leisure and the importance it plays in our lives.
Ronald Reagan is the closest thing [to the strong conservative] we have.He said that we shouldn’t spend money we don’t have, and he said that the government shouldn’t get involved in things that it’s not very good at doing.
I have a very good life, so I have nothing to complain about. Sometimes, I just have existential angst.
Ice-skating is a dangerous proposition and tennis is going to be something I’m probably not very good at.
I’m not good at happy, lightweight kind of music. I’m not really good at pop music. “Cars” is probably the only true pop song I ever wrote. I wish I could write more, but I’m not very good at it.
I’m very good at being out of work.
My life and my plan wasn’t very good, but at least it was my plan. It got to that point that I just couldn’t stand it any more.
I think my acceleration is very good. That’s the key for me.
I haven’t always been warmly welcomed for holding my conservative positions in Hollywood. Then again, I’ve never been very good at being politically correct either, on or off screen. So why start now?
American movies are often very good at mining those great underlying myths that make films robustly travel across class, age, gender, culture.
At the end of the day, nobody can tell you how to tackle failure or how to handle change. The world is very good at encouraging you to go along with the status quo and at basking in your successes.
I think I’m a very good reader of poetry, but obviously, like everybody, I have a set of criteria for reading poems, and I’m not shy about presenting them, so if people ask for my critical response to a poem, I tell them what works and why, and what doesn’t work and why.
Even the stove and the refrigerator looked human, I mean good human – they seemed to have arms and voices and they said, hang around, kid, it’s good here, it can be very good here.
I think, as a filmmaker, my style of filmmaking is very well-suited to 3-D anyway, so it’s not like I’m having to change a huge amount of the way I shoot to work in 3-D. I think you could probably dimensionalize some of my movies and they would make very good 3-D films.
Night is a very good and very close friend of a writer!
There is an access to… people can now afford very high quality technology, where you can have a very good reproduction of a large picture on a large screen at home. People go out less. There’s all kinds of reasons. I don’t know that it’s going to stay that way but, I think also, we’ve got to start making better movies.
One way to stay grounded in the entertainment industry is to surround yourself with very good people that will constantly remind you how uncool you are.
I never was a very good singer.
An awful lot of actors who are considered very good actors are not very good actors. There are people who just strike gold, they have intrinsic talent, but the point is that if they did train, it would not inhibit them. If they were with a good teacher, it would only broaden them more.
Goethe died in 1832. As you know, Goethe was very active in science. In fact, he did some very good scientific work in plant morphology and mineralogy. But he was quite bitter at the way in which many scientists refused to grant him a hearing because he was a poet and therefore, they felt, he couldn’t be serious.
We live but for a short time, we see but very little, and we know almost nothing; so, at least, let’s do some dreaming. Have yourself a very good Sunday, my dear readers.
I’m a very good storyteller; I have a lot of compassion for people. That’s very useful for a novelist. A lot of novelists are snots. They’re just mean people. I’m not a terribly skilled stylist, nor do I want to be. I want a lot of people to read one of my stories and go, ‘That was pretty cool.’
Anorexia was my attempt to have control over my body and manipulate my body and starve my body and shape my body. It was not a very good relationship. It was the sort of relationship my father had to my body. It was a tyrannical, “you’ll do what I tell you” relationship.
To get someone to pose, you have to be very good friends and above all speak the language.
I’ve had a lot of coaches in my life, but I’ve only had a few very good ones. So, I try to take from the best ones and apply those to what I do and think and with anyone I work with in terms of how to motivate people and work with them.
Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
It’s just mind-blowingly awesome. I apologize, and I wish I was more articulate, but it’s hard to be articulate when your mind’s blown-but in a very good way.
I haven’t had a very good day. I think I might still be hung over and everyone’s dead and my root beer’s gone.
Art is about the context in which it is made as much as the object itself; objects take on different meanings in different contexts. If the artist is unaware of the context, it’s very unlikely the work will be very good.
Please do not ask me to talk about my divorce. Mr. Ziegfeld and I are such very good friends. It is only a little matter quite between ourselves.
I guess I’m an atheist. But I would say I have very good relationships with the priests that I grew up with. I was an altar boy growing up, and the men of God in my life have always been really lovely, intelligent, well-informed, kind men. So I feel very loyal to their beliefs as much as anything else.
What we are good at comes easy, and we believe that unless it comes hard, it can’t be very good.
I want to deal with what’s in front of me now to the best of my abilities, and sometimes that’s not very good. But a lot of the days it is really great.
Barcelona is my life. They have brought me to where I am today. I could not leave, I don’t want to leave. I know the Premier League is very good. But I cannot see myself playing in England because my heart is with Barcelona, always.
A modest dress is a very good thing, if it be the genuine indication of a humble heart, and is to instruct; but it is a bad thing if it be the hypocritical disguise of a proud ambitious heart, and is to deceive. Let men be really as good as they seem to be, but not seem to be better than really they are.
I love my dad and we have a very good relationship now.
Coffee, unless it is very good and made by somebody else, is pretty intolerable at any time.
I’m not very good at being dull.
One may be my very good friend, and yet not of my opinion.
Baseball has been very good to me.
For ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona,’ for example, Woody Allen is one of the greatest American directors, and we really had a very good working relationship. We understand each other really well. He gave me one of the best opportunities somebody has ever given me in my career.
Disney is just Disney. It’s a company that’s very good at what it does – controlling and promoting an image – until something happens that it can’t control or cover up.

God has been very good to me, for I never dwell upon anything wrong which a person has done, so as to remember it afterwards. If I do remember it, I always see some other virtue in that person.
Contemporary culture is not very good on responsibility.
The world doesn’t grieve when you’re grieving. The world goes on about its business. You’re having a good day and I’m having a bad one and vice versa. And they could be very good and very bad at the same time. You multiply that by seven billion and you have one element of human experience.
I’m not very good at taking compliments. It’s better than getting slapped in the face, I suppose.
I am not very good at keeping secrets at all! If you want your secret kept do not tell me!

I wouldn’t be a very good hunter without these glasses. I’m not a very good hunter with these glasses, but I’d be even worse without them, so that would put a crimp in how many kids I could have, so all of these medical advances have at least in some parts of the world blunted natural selection.

I’m not a very good advice-giver.
With acting, it [auditioning] is very frustrating. I’m not very good at auditions. Sometimes I audition for a role and I’m like, I’d be really funny in that role, but I’m not good at auditions so I guess I’m not getting that role. It’s a very frustrating job.
If it’s something that reaches out and grabs me, I want to do it. I have a lot of trouble doing things that don’t grab me. So, I’m not a very good actor in that way. I can’t fake it.
The easiest thing to do is to rag on the media, because it isn’t doing a very good job right now. It is so much easier to profit from celebrating the worst aspects of ourselves.

Dr. King’s policy was, if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That’s very good. He only made one fallacious assumption. In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.
Women are very special. I think it’s a very special time because a lot of things are coming out and I think that’s good for our society and I think it is very, very good for women. And I’m very happy a lot of these things are coming out. And I am very happy – I’m very happy it’s being exposed.
