I spent my childhood clad in 1970s hand-me-downs, primarily from male cousins, which mainly consisted of a selection of beige, brown and orange dungarees. That, combined with a perfectly round pudding-bowl haircut, made me look, on a good day, like a cross between Ann Widdecombe, one of the Flower Pot Men, and a monk.
A character who is thought-out is not born, he or she is contrived. A born character is round, a thought-out character is flat.
Do what you are not supposed to do, like wear white shoes all year round.
There's no point in making predictions. It's not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football. Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future.
With both Caddyshack and Vacation, it's not like the subjects were serious enough that they engaged my interest for another round. I love the characters, and the actors were great, but I didn't see the need to make another Vacation movie.
In the whole round of human affairs little is so fatal to peace as misunderstanding.
I love round people, I love skinny people. I love people in general; we've got to get past labels and stop being so critical about everything.
We'd have Mick Jagger round for tea one morning or Janet Jackson wandering in, but I wouldn't have been aware of it. I didn't have a clue who anyone was. They were just dad's friends popping in.
I can't understand how some guys get tired after one round. If you can't go the distance, why are you even in the fight?
The world rolls round forever like a mill; it grinds out death and life and good and ill; it has no purpose, heart or mind or will.
To be honest with you, there's nothing that bores me more than sitting around with a bunch of actors talking shop. I love actors and I've got friends that are actors. They're interesting people. But for some reason, usually when it comes round to talking shop, there's a part of me that doesn't like it.
Silicon Valley today is populated mostly by people who would consider themselves winners of the traditional race. This causes the exclusion of the voices that are vital to a round, robust society. It's beyond gentrification.
Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
The variety of training is a major selling point of triathlon. Different sports, different venues means it's always interesting, and you can always switch things round if the weather messes your plans up.
When you meet someone new who instantly gets you, your sense of humor and your attitudes and your worldview, even if theirs are different - and you get them in return. You both talk and talk and agree and laugh and nod and yes, yes, of course you should get another round of drinks.
I don't mind being pale. In high school, it seemed like everybody cared about being tan all year round, but I haven't really thought about it since then. I don't go to a tanning bed, and I get bored when I lay out. I put sunscreen on when I'm in the sun, and sometimes I get tan, but I don't really think about it very much.
My favorite meal is turkey and mashed potatoes. I love Thanksgiving, it's just my favorite. I can have Thanksgiving all year round.
Man is flying too fast for a world that is round. Soon he will catch up with himself in a great rear end collision.
There's hope for everyone. That's what makes the world go round.
I was training to be an electrician. I suppose I got wired the wrong way round somewhere along the line.
I got to fight every second, every minute and every round.
The traditional family table is round. No corners. No sides. No head. No tail. Everything is smooth. The food is in the center, and each family member reaches over the same distance. Someone you love is next to you on each side, and no one is last or at the end. The person farthest away from you is also the person facing you.
A good fighter usually knows, to within a very few seconds, when a three-minute round is going to end.
All my life, I have loved balloons - all balloons - the heavy English sort, immense and round, that have to be pushed about, and the gay, light, gas-filled French ones that soar into the air the moment you let go of them.
Whenever I release a record, it's my record. It's not a selfish thought. I may work all year 'round for other people. So, finally, when I come out with my own album, it should be me with the creative help of other musicians.
We need to change America's image round the world. America has lost some lustre in terms of how folks aspire to be like us.
In my heart, I'm just a kid from the council houses. I can remember the old cottage and my dad coming round with the tin bath. I'm not a rich man.
Never break your putter and your driver in the same round or you're dead.
When I'm old I shall give up writing the big stuff and shall wander round the park thinking of songs.
That's me. I can be me a bit at home, but I'm kind of like a square peg in a round hole.
As far as I know, you only get one shot at this life. It only goes round once and time is precious. When I'm not working, you'd better spend that time with someone important.
I go round and round in circles, really, really fast, on a big wooden bowl.
One win, and you're on top of the world. Lose in the first round of the next tournament: you're back to reality.
A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.
I managed to get onto 'The Hobbit,' which is a story in itself. I missed the main round of auditions but managed to get a foot in the door at the last second - just as I came down with dysentery.
There is always anxiety before a competition and it was no different for me today. It was only in the third round, with about 40 targets left, that I realised I could match the world record score.
