That was a very aha moment. It was, 'I'm in the big leagues.'
I'm not a big one for lots of genitals flapping in the films.
The bands that wrote the big, heroic rock songs - I really wanted to make a record like that.
If you haven't got it. Fake it! Too short? Wear big high heels, but do practice walking!
If it's a big hit, fantastic. If it's not, then it's not. I don't worry about my work.
All the pictures I do are contemporary. I've sort of discovered I haven't really been into science fiction or period pictures. And so, in that vein, psychological thrillers play a big part.
Being on a Michael Bay set is... well, it's the only set I've ever been on. But I would imagine there's no set that's run quite like it. It's big, it's loud, it's powerful, it's intense, it's dirty, it's hot, it's sweaty - and it's really exciting. There's never a dull moment; there's never a quiet moment.
Now record companies are run by lawyers and accountants. The shift from the one to the other was definitely related to when the takes started to get big.
No matter how big you are in the business, at the end of the day it's still work.
'Big business' was a bad phrase in India. To be accused of being big business was the worst accusation you could make. All that has gone now. The whole mindset has changed.
I grew up in a very musical family, my father was a musician and a big band leader and made records.
The press keep asking me, 'What was your biggest mistake?' But if I had made a big mistake, they'd all be writing about it, wouldn't they?
I'm not accident prone, really, but I was cutting something and sort of lost control, and it went through my big toe. There was a lot of blood and I nearly fainted, but its totally fine now.
You have to think anyway, so why not think big?
I never had a serious injury that kept me out of a big competition. Now everyone has injuries - to their feet or their knees or their backs.
I am a very big proponent of opening the borders with India. Most of our trade is done through unofficial channels. Why not open the trade?
I'm a really big 'Lord of the Rings' fan. I have all the extended editions.
I've learned to say, 'I'm a friend of Big Bird. He even taught me how to sound like him.'
I absolutely believe in assimilation. I don't believe I'm any different from straight people. My wants and needs are the same as theirs. I don't look at sexual orientation as that big of a deal. It's just an orientation.
The thought of someone spending $20 to come and see me and saying, 'Oh, I prefer the record and she's completely shattered the illusion' really upsets me. It's such a big deal that people come give me their time.
When I was in Beck's world, I felt like the little sister. I'm in the big brother's room with all his friends. You just hang out and keep your mouth shut so they don't realize you're there and kick you out. I like being in situations where I can be an underdog, where I can be in the corner and observe and soak it in.
Artists have so much more control of their futures - they don't need to rely so much on major labels or big companies to help them. You have artists like Skrillex that can dominate so much that he gets 5 Grammy nominees, and he's clearly an underground artist.
In those days a concert was a personal experience. I wanted to be as close as possible to the audience, and of course big stadiums didn't enable you to do that. It wasn't my style.
I'm a big fan of good grades. But I am going to suggest to you that you will find that the skills of a student are of somewhat less use to you once you get out into what is sometimes referred to as 'the real world.'
In the Chili Peppers I'm a part of that world in a pretty big world and that's just the way it is.
It really does help everyone when there are some big bands leading the charge.
I think a punt can be a big play in a game. If it's anything like a real game, then you realize that a Pat McAfee punt that downs someone inside the 2-yard line can really swing a game. I'm all for punting in video games.
It was so quick for me on 'SNL.' It's not something I consider to be, like, one of the big spaces in my career.
I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, 'I'm going to mop the floor with your face.' I said, 'You'll be sorry.' He said, 'Oh, yeah? Why?' I said, 'Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well.'
Natural gas will displace coal in power generation. Getting natural gas into the transportation fleet is harder. It works best for vehicles that work from centralized fueling facilities like trucking fleets or buses and cabs. That is happening. Before it can make big inroads beyond that, infrastructure is going to need to be developed.
You should not remain in your comfort zone; if you want to make it big, you must challenge yourself, get out of your comfort zone, and succeed in doing well outside of your comfort areas.
It's big production. It's huge. It's using studio technology to your benefit. You don't go in and play live and then just take the tapes and get them mastered. You have to create.
I'm a big Pacino fan. He's a great actor: so much passion and intensity.
Carnegie Hall was real fabulous, but you know, it ain't as big as the Grand Ole Opry.
In Germany, of course, the Holocaust will always be in our history and a big stain on our lives.
When I first told people I was writing a book, some would say that was interesting, but others thought it was some holiday project and I would lose interest. I think my parents thought the same thing, and they were surprised when I kept going. I'm not sure I thought I would keep going, but then it became a big part of my life.
