I know what she used to do sometimes. She kept her best cape she wore on the street in there, and she used occasionally to go up there to get it and to take it into her room. She kept a great deal in the guest room drawers.
I've pent up all my aggression, kept swallowing it and swallowing it.
I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass.
Food prices are often kept artificially high. The result is that the Millennium Development Goals set out by the United Nations at the start of the new millennium are not being reached. Fine words have not yet been turned into deeds.
In a way, publishing in 2005 was similar to publishing in 1950. Nobody kept blogs; that was still optional. I didn't even have a website then.
Earlier I had been in New York, which was my first time to New York, and I got booked in the Baby Grand up in Harlem there. I was booked there for a week; they kept me there for about a month. That's where Doc Pomus and myself became very close friends and start running together around town and what not.
My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy, because my mother kept a great deal to herself.
The usual way - through a long series of rejections, revising my manuscripts, and kept trying again and again. Finally I was fortunate enough to find a good agent.
I had the opportunity to be around my kids a lot. I guess I could have kept working, but I had them when I was 47. You only get to see all this stuff once. I just chose to work at home and watch them.
The fact was, Ford kept stumbling around. I didn't want him in the White House. I wanted Carter in, and I had a forum of 20 million people watching.
I remember the first time I had sex - I kept the receipt.
I cannot be a placard waver for every campaign; that's why I have mostly kept quiet about gay marriage.
Everything I did, all my actions, all of the problems I had I dedicate to God and to Chile, because I kept Chile from becoming Communist.
I've always kept fit but I've been doing gym and yoga and will be throwing my stilettoes away for a while!
I kept telling everyone I wasn't going to Washington to stay. I go to visit.
The message I always received was God is good. You're bad. Try harder. I pretty much kept my hand up at anything that represented God.
The worst gig story I have is from a club in Alabama that I think is still up and running, so I won't name the name of the club. We got hired in there to play, and the owner was pretty annoying. He kept coming up to me during the show and asking me to play 'Purple Rain.'
I kept feeling like there were no parts for girl who want to play to the mezzanine.
The road had the lonely times, but I kept myself busy.
What treaty that the whites have kept has the red man broken? Not one.
When I was younger, acting, singing and dancing was what it was all about. That's really what kept me in school because I was really naughty otherwise.
My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each others' negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts.
School district policies and practices have not kept pace with student and teacher needs.
If I was good each week, my father would take me to a different pet store each Saturday. I had a snake, horny toads, turtles, lizards, rabbits, guinea pigs... I kept my alligator in the bathtub until it got too big.
It was the cholesterol. I had two fried eggs a day for breakfast. I had no checkups for five years. I kept meaning to go. The doctor would probably say it was years of bad living. I've always had a good time. Maybe I've had too good a time.
Social Security not only helps Americans enjoy a secure retirement, it has also kept millions of Americans out of poverty.
There are too many books I haven't read, too many places I haven't seen, too many memories I haven't kept long enough.
I kept auditioning, with no savings and no money, credit card debt gaining interest. I went on unemployment. I bought ramen noodles at dollar stores. I never had to - God forbid - live on the streets.
I never gave away anything without wishing I had kept it; nor kept it without wishing I had given it away.
I just couldn't take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that's about all I did at school.
If I were to try and find a unifying emotion that kept me calm and focused while I was dancing or writing or solving a math problem, I think the one unifying thing about all those that keeps my interest is creativity.
Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool.
I can't remember a major league game where I could make eye contact with my dad. I kept wondering if he was going to yell at me for hanging a pitch or something.
But even at the height of these scandals, even at the time when our finances were at their worst, the NAACP branches - the grassroots - kept plugging away. They kept doing what they do, and they do it well.
I don't go to the gym. I've always been very athletic and kept very active. I used to run track. I literally have no desire to get a gym membership.
When they kept you out it was because you were black; when they let you in, it is because you are black. That's progress?
