My mother, on Sundays, used to prepare things to use during the week, like freshly made broth. It wasn't chicken stock or pasta sauces. She always made her own homemade pasta. So, the amount of dedication that goes into what these people used to do -...
I was reading an article in the 'New York Times;' it talked about being in the zone, and being in the zone you're so focused that time ceases to exist. It's when you think, 'Oh, I've been doing this for five hours and didn't even know it.' It's the d...
When people go to a track meet, they're looking for something, a world record, something that hasn't been done before. You get all this magnetic energy, people focusing on one thing at the same time. I really get excited about it. It makes me want to...
Mentally, my key is just focusing on the little things I need to do in a race, whether that's tempo, turn entry, start speed, things like that. I'm not thinking about that much before or during a race. I just trust in my ability and all the hard work...
John McClane: [hands Zeus a gun] Here take this. Zeus: How's it work? John McClane: You don't know how to shoot a gun? Zeus: Look, all brothers don't know how to shoot guns, you racist motherfucker. John McClane: Sue me.
Zeus Carver: Didn't I hear you say you didn't even like your brother? Simon Gruber: There's a difference, you know, between not liking one's brother and not caring when some dumb Irish flatfoot drops him out of a window.
[McClane and Targo are fighting] Mathias Targo: I see you all day, little man. Policeman. [Targo kicks McClane, who is on the ground] Mathias Targo: And you don't go away. John McClane: Yeah, I'm that fucking Energizer bunny.
Zeus: Excuse me, sir, but I'm expecting a call. I need that phone. Businessman: Why don't you use the other phone? Zeus: Sir, please. I need to use that phone. Businessman: Hey, listen, bro, I was here first. Zeus: Bro? Get away from the goddamn phon...
Kid #1: It's Christmas. You could steal City Hall. John McClane: Come on. [Zeus and John take the kids' bikes] Kid #1: My bike? John McClane: Let's go. Come on. Kid #1: That's my bike! Zeus: Yeah, it's Christmas!
Simon Gruber: As I was going to St. Ives, / I met a man with seven wives. / Every wife had seven sacks, / Every sack had seven cats, / Every cat had seven kittens. / Kittens, cats, sacks, wives, / How many were going to St. Ives?
Dr. Schiller: Yes, I was saying that we're dealing with a megalomaniacal personality with possible paranoid schizo... John McClane: Hey, hey! How 'bout we just skip down to the part where you tell me what the fuck this has to do with me, huh?
Hiccup: [narrating] Yep, Berk is pretty much perfect. All of my hard work has paid off. And it's a good thing, too, because, with Vikings on the backs of dragons, the world just got a whole lot bigger.
Tequila: What are you? It's hard to call you a triad. It's even harder to call you a cop. What rank are you? Sergeant? Inspector? Joker? Should I salute you? Alan: If you like. To you, I'm a criminal. To my mum, I'm a son. To the triads, I'm a hero.
Grandfather: It's my considered opinion that you're a bunch of sissies. John: You're just jealous. Norm: Leave him alone, Lennon... or I'll tell them all the truth about you. John: You wouldn't. Norm: Oh, I would, though.
Norm: I thought I told you lot to stay here. When I say stay put, I mean stay put. John: [drops to his knees] Don't cane me, sir! I was led astray. Norm: Shut up, John!
Shake: He's been gone awhile, hasn't he? Norm: Who has? Shake: Paul's grandfather. Norm: Oh, he's down the uh... Shake: Oh, down the uh...? Norm: Yeah, down the uh... Shake: Oh, we'll give him a couple minutes, then.
John: And we're looking after him, are we? Grandfather: I'll look after myself. Paul: Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. John: He's got you worried, then? Paul: Him? He's a villain, a real mixer. And he costs you a fortune in Breach of Promise cases.
Shake: Well, he just asked if he could have those photos, and Norm said no, and I said, "Well, why not be big about it?" Paul: Yeah, and? Norm: And your grandfather pointed out that Shake was always being taller than me just to spite me!
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, I guess hard times flush the chump. Everybody's lookin' for answers... Where the hell's he goin'? [as Delmar runs out to be baptized] Pete: Well, I'll be a son of a bitch. Delmar's been saved!
Mama Montana: [to her son Tony] You know, all we read about in the papers today are animals like you and the killings. It's Cubans like you who are giving a bad name to our people. People who come here to work hard and make an honest living for thems...
I can see my work as a job. I do it for money. I likely already look forward to the weekend on Thursdays. And I probably will need a hobby as a leveling mechanism. In a career, I'm definitely more engaged. But at the same time, there will be periods ...
