Frank A. Clark

If there was no intentional walks, the guy would just walk him anyway, unintentionally intentionally walk him. You see a lot more of that than what meets the eye.
George Brett
I don’t feel like I need to share my personal life, and I don’t care if people think I’m gay or not. Assume whatever you want. You do it anyway.
We were great mates. We didn’t really go out together because we never really had the time to go out. But we were with each other all the time anyway because we were working all the time. We could sit down and talk for hours, and we still can. We just understood each other.
Dannii Minogue
I’ve never actually been a fighter myself – fighting tires me out and I’m not an efficient fighter anyway – but I have certainly seen other people have great complicated goes at one another.
If my parents ever had to ground me, they didn’t really know what that would mean, because I was inside most of the time anyway.
The beauty of a Stradivarius is that you can play in Carnegie Hall without any amplification, and it has this – the sound has, inside it, has something that projects, and it has multifaceted sound, something that kind of gets lost when you use amplification anyway.
I didn’t raise Todd to be a writer, but he happened to be one anyway.
The ego mind both professes its desire for love and does everything possible to repel it, or if it gets here anyway, to sabotage it. That is why dealing with issues like control, anger, and neediness is the most important work in preparing ourselves for love.
I was doing everything that a kid would be doing anyway

I was doing everything that a kid would be doing anyway, but on top of that, I was able to fly to different cities.
A film set becomes its own family anyway, and all family dynamics come out during a shoot. The trick is hiring people who know how to handle that.
My first single I was nominated for a Grammy with ‘Crank That,’ and I lost a Grammy to Kanye West, but it was still such a big deal for me to be nominated anyway.
I’ve never been a guy who had more than a toe in Hollywood anyway, so my toe is more easily lopped off than most.
I don’t need to be reminded that I was on ‘Friends.’ I remember – some of it, anyway.
One of the things I do well – I think, anyway – is combining different tones.
What’s important to me now is to uphold my good name and achieve a fair court decision – the past cannot be recovered anyway.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky
I don’t really know what my personality is anyway. I don’t really have one.
Richard Ayoade
I mean, every novel’s a historical novel anyway. But calling something a historical novel seems to put mittens on it, right? It puts manners on it. And you don’t want your novels to be mannered.
I think you can move to everything, but with some music, you just want to sit still. That’s me, anyway.
Anyway, there were more after the war than before.
Hutton Gibson
I don’t like to make a big splash anyway.
The men who really get repelled by what you’re wearing are a little shallow, and you probably don’t want to date them anyway.
I was a fat kid who didn’t discover the joys of active play at the time of life when we’re supposed to be imprinted with a love of movement. That means that I’d rather be called for jury duty than go to the gym, but I go anyway.
I think once you get it in your head, that you’re not going to do anything bigger, you just do things that you enjoy, which has always been my ethos anyway.
Billy Boyd
I burn a lot of stuff. My son, bless his heart, eats it anyway. But he makes a face!
Everyone’s more vulnerable than they seem, and I think men are more vulnerable. Once you get close to a man, the whole thing’s a facade anyway. I think manhood is fragile.
It shifted attention away from that and I’ve never been someone who liked the attention from the media anyway.
Steffi Graf
This may just be me, but I feel like everyone’s dream is to live as an American high school student. There are so many teen films set in America that you live vicariously through them, anyway.
I didn’t have to keep a bloody journal. It’s terribly boring keeping a journal anyway. I hate it. You spend more time writing down life instead of living it.
My process is very disempowering to the director anyway, so it’s essential that you be respectful. Once we’ve sort of found the scene, I have to get out of there, because you don’t want to split the actor’s idea of who’s in charge.
I cannot and do not live in the world of discretion, not as a writer, anyway. I would prefer to, I assure you – it would make life easier. But discretion is, unfortunately, not for novelists.
Being brave means to know something is scary, difficult, and dangerous, and doing it anyway, because the possibility of winning the fight is worth the chance of losing it.
Emilie Autumn
Anyway, I lived on the streets and did pretty good until I got caught stealing, what was it? I kicked in a restaurant window, went in and took all the food that I wanted, and while coming out I was grabbed.
Gregory Corso
Ethiopia didn’t just blow my mind; it opened my mind. Anyway, on our last day at this orphanage a man handed me his baby and said, ‘Would you take my son with you?’ He knew, in Ireland, that his son would live, and that in Ethiopia, his son would die.
I would solve a lot of literary problems just thinking about a character in the subway, where you can’t do anything anyway.
We were brash young fellows‘. I was always hanging with the older crowd anyway. The musicians were the Hip Cats, and I was hanging with them anyway. I Just started out real early.
You say something, things you would rather forget, and then they are out there. It makes me anxious and I don’t know why people are interested in me anyway. If I had my way, I would rather exist in a little hole and not speak to anyone.
A lot of my time is spent watching films and reading scripts. And it can be all-consuming. And it’s obviously something I’m fortunate that is both my work and my hobby. It’s what I would naturally be doing anyway.
People are so busy anyway they don’t see you or recognise you in the street.
Andrea Corr
In marriage, you sacrifice the adrenaline rush of seeing someone new for the comfort of being with someone who knows everything about you and loves you anyway.
I dated a lot, but I never really had anyone who was wo

I dated a lot, but I never really had anyone who was worthy of an anniversary. And most girlfriends never made it to a year, anyway.
Anyway, so what he did was, he spread sheets for 100 yards and underneath them he’d put things so there were bumps and different levels and on top he’d put little bushes and if you didn’t look to close, it looked like snow!
I live way out in the country, so there’s not a lot of people around to remind me. And my friends don’t think of me as ‘Kim Novak’ anymore anyway. It’s like they forgot, too. And so it’s nice.
I can make rhymes. My style of writing is kind of childlike anyway.
Every film requires a different process. You learn about these particular actors and the particular chemistry between these actors. Recognizing when you don’t need to shoot a scene because it’s going to be cut anyway.
Anyway, in the mid 80’s I was spending a fortune buying old Golden Age books from the late 30’s and 40’s and I was making personal appearances at a lot of sci fi and comic book conventions all around the country here so that I could find books for my collection.
I have no inflated ideas about success anyway.
Trevor Dunn
Anyway, Cat Stevens is never going to make much money out of us.
In tech-land, no one cares what kind of car you drive, and frankly, they’re not going to find out anyway. You’re not going to go to lunch together, because you’re going to be sitting in your cube with a brown bag eating lunch.
Roy Price
Most things I worry about never happen anyway.
This free will business is a bit terrifying anyway. It’s almost pleasanter to obey, and make the most of it.
Ugo Betti
For somebody famous, it’s weird anyway to meet someone, because they have a preconceived notion of who you are.
Ricki Lake
I don’t like broad swords. They’re not much fun. A broad sword is just a big chunk of steel, and there’s not much finesse in it, not much skill, I don’t think anyway.
Depression is internal. The upswings and downswings have pretty much nothing to do with what’s going on in the external world. It’s not like something sad happens to you and then you feel sad. Good things happen, but you feel sad anyway.
I doubt myself a lot but go forward at full throttle anyway.
You have to wait for people to program you. The only difference is the amount of people that you’re going to reach but that’s going to even out in the next two or three years anyway. Computers are being bought faster than televisions right now.
Sure, I love people, and I want to communicate with people. I mean, what is music anyway? It’s a form of communication – at least for me it is. And that’s why I play the kind of music that I think – that I hope – can communicate with people.
My training diet can be quite strict when I’m coming up to competition; it’s a weight-making sport, of course. But I eat quite healthily anyway, and it’s less strict when out of competition.
I am interested in imperfections, quirkiness, insanity, unpredictability. That’s what we really pay attention to anyway. We don’t talk about planes flying; we talk about them crashing.
Tibor Kalman
Somehow, the greater the public opposition to the health care bill, the more determined they seem to force it on us anyway. Their attitude shows Washington at its very worst – the presumption that they know best, and they’re going to get their way whether the American people like it or not.
Scott Brown
Maybe I should say that memory interests me a great deal, because I think we all tell stories of our lives to ourselves as well as to other people. Well, women do, anyway. Women do this a lot. And I think when men get older, they do this too, but maybe in slightly different terms.
It was more freeing, mainly because he’s so free anyway. He just is in his performance. So to mimic someone doing a free performance, well, that’s pretty freeing within itself.
Michael Welch
I have had some cosmetic surgery, especially after I lost weight and stuff, and I’ve had my breasts lifted – but not injected. That would scare me to death, anyway.
I don’t listen to the contemporary pop artists. They all sound alike, anyway.
I think women are sick and tired of being portrayed as victims, a lot of the time anyway, the bulk of their time on film.
Troy Duffy
My whole approach to wardrobe is, throw it in a suitcase and make sure they don’t press it, for Pete’s sake, so I can try to display some rumpled charm. Actually, I’m just a pig. I’ve got coffee stains on my pants. I think they’re coffee stains, anyway.
Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we’re looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn’t test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.
Really, it was either fight in the UFC or fight in the WWE. There wasn’t the option of both. That was a key factor. What am I going to do? I didn’t want to juggle two careers anyway.
Anyway, I just haven’t been able to find any humanity in any Republican candidate ever in my entire life.
Alan Rudolph
I honestly think that in five years time, television will be watched on computer screens anyway and you’ll be doing multiple things. You’ll be ‘IMing’ while you’re watching a show and checking the news.
I don’t have many Hollywood friends anyway; I thought with my ability I didn’t need to make those kind of relationships, but maybe I should have done. Might have made my life easier!
Food can be mean to me, but I love it anyway.

Food can be mean to me, but I love it anyway.
I would love to direct – or try my hand at it, anyway.
I just took the idea that King Kong was too big for everything and reversed it and put George in a land of giants, which is basically what every kid goes through anyway – that, you know, the world is made for grownups, for tall people, for the giants.
William Joyce
Anyway, how can you sack anyone who still hasn’t got a contract. I’ll be there for the game and I’ll stand behind the dugout giving instructions to the players from there. They will respond to me more than the next manager.
That’s your end goal anyway, is to make the fans happy.
War’s stupid. Nobody wins. You might as well talk first; you have to talk last anyway.
Henry Allingham
As long as people are using the Internet, people are going to do stupid stuff, and people are going to do bad stuff. And by the time that robots are sentient, they’re going to enslave us anyway, so it won’t matter.
I’ve always had mostly women come out to see me perform. That’s the reason the guys show up; they know R. Kelly is going to draw the women. Most of the songs I’m singing are catering to women anyway.
It’s true, you can never eat a pet you name. And anyway, it would be like a ventriloquist eating his dummy.
Alexander Theroux
What’s revolting is the body-positivity movement. What’s revolting is this idea now that you can tell women they’ll be happy and healthy at any size. Why? Because it tells women that you can be fat, and you can be unattractive, and you can be happy anyway. That’s a lie.
I don’t do very much for beauty. I use very simple things on my skin. I haven’t got time. I would always get facials and then come home laden with product, and pay a lot of money and never use it. Anyway, one day a dermatologist told me to use Cetaphil to clean my face and as a moisturizer, and that’s what I do.
I live in a small town in Connecticut, and they don’t write scripts there, but I get them anyway because my agent is in Los Angeles.
I have no great desire to play a great role. You can’t make quality on TV anyway. It’s always a manure pile. You’re on the top, or you’re on the bottom, but it’s still a manure pile, and I’m not sure the movie industry isn’t like that, too.
Anyway, I collapsed in France in the middle of a tour. I hadn’t been eating properly, I was getting very phobic about audiences, and I collapsed in pure fright.
Andy Partridge
I think my work has become more interesting, well to me anyway.
John Byrne
I try not to shut any doors before I even get there. I like doing music. I like singing. I love all music. Music kind of goes hand in hand with acting anyway.
Jeremy Shada
Every year the literary press praises dozens if not hundreds of novels to the skies, asserting explicitly or implicitly that these books will probably not be suffering water damage in the basements of their authorshouses 20 years from now. But historically, anyway, that’s not the way the novelistic ecology works.
When December comes, can ‘The Nutcracker’ be far behind? No, it can’t – not in America, anyway.
Cuz I was never pretty anyway and never cared anything about that.
I think I had a mild case of Asperger’s as a younger guy, but that typically just wears off after a while. For some people, anyway.
We didn’t have a phone when I was a kid, and I was too shy to smash any public phones, and our town didn’t have a pool hall either, so I had to hang out at the public library – and anyway, I told myself stories.
John Sladek
I pinch myself every day anyway. Everyone knows the road I have had in the game and how I have managed to get myself to where I am today.
Writing is pretty flexible work, don’t you think? If you want to surf, you just have to get a lot done when the waves are lousy. That’s what I’m always telling myself, anyway – write while the surf’s down!
William Finnegan
I try not to define myself. Other people are going to do that for you anyway.
I stayed in the East for about a year after I graduated. Then, I came out to Los Angeles and started knocking on doors and working my way up. This was the ’70s. I had been told how tough it was for a woman trying to make it in Hollywood, but I sort of had blinders on. I just did things anyway.
Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn’t know it so it goes on flying anyway.
Mary Kay Ash
It’s a very telling thing when you have children. You have to be there for them, you’ve got to set an example, when you’re not sure what your example is, and anyway the world is changing so fast you don’t know what is appropriate anymore.
Atticus Finch. That’s who I want to be when I grow up. He’s the greatest guy ever – a good dad, a good lawyer, doing the right thing. And he knows he’s not supposed to win, but he’s doing it anyway.
Sean Patrick Maloney
I love, but I am not entirely sure how to be loved: how to be seen and known for the utterly flawed woman I am. It demands surrender. It demands acknowledging that I am not perfect, but perhaps I deserve affection anyway.
We’d been noticing how much more important the internet had become – once information is out there in the world now, anyone can get it. Since that was beginning to happen with the record anyway, we figured, OK, let’s just stream it for free ourselves.
I’m not a big guy anyway. I’m only, what, 150 pounds? I was 190 for ‘Batman,’ 179 for ‘Warrior.’ Films make you look big.
Imagine - four years you could have spent travelling ar

Imagine – four years you could have spent travelling around Europe meeting people, or going to the Far East of Africa or India, meeting people, exchanging ideas, reading all you wanted to anyway, and instead I wasted it at Roosevelt.
Knowing his coach likes him is more important to a player than anything else. To me, it was important to be able to chew out a player for screwing up and for him to accept it because he knew I liked him anyway.
What the United States has to do is send a clear message to Iran that they will not be able to develop nuclear weapons. Why endure the difficulty of sanctions if they are not going to be able to develop nuclear weapons anyway?
Ever since I’ve ever heard music, I thought it should be very clean, very precise – as clean as possible, anyway, and more or less tuned to people. Something they could understand, something that was beautiful, you know?
Charlie Parker
Stem cell research is the key to developing cures for degenerative conditions like Parkinson‘s and motor neuron disease from which I and many others suffer. The fact that the cells may come from embryos is not an objection, because the embryos are going to die anyway.
This may be a dream, but I’ll say it anyway: I was supposed to be married last year, and I bought a gown. When I meet Nelson Mandela, I shall put on this gown and have the train of it removed and put aside, and kiss the ground that he walks on and then kiss his feet.
Asking myself, ‘Is this any good?’ is pointless. It just slows down my writing, and I can’t tell anyway. It’s always the paragraphs I loved most, the ones I tenderly polished and re-read with pride, that my editor will suggest cutting.
There’s nothing to be said for being famous. It’s a pain. You can’t be rude to people – it’s inexcusable not to be nice. Anyway, it’s not in my nature. I was trained to be nice.
We don’t communicate in full sentences anyway. We don’t need all those words.
Shepard Smith
When you’ve got four people to get dressed to get out the door you don’t really spend a lot of time on yourself. But that’s the way I roll anyway. I was never one to do my hair and make-up just to go to the market, so it’s not that much different. If I get a little eye cream on, I feel I’m ahead of myself.
I know better than to read reviews but I do it anyway. Somebody described my pacing as ‘glacial.’ I wasn’t thrilled, but I think they meant it in a not entirely unflattering way.
Directors have a tendency to use their hands like orchestra conductors. They don’t realize that the actor is looking at their faces, anyway.
Alan J. Pakula
I directed before I was even in television; I directed in the theatre for seven years, so that was my trade anyway. But in the UK, I’ve given up any hope of being considered a director.
Mel Smith
To me, horror and comedy never work. Never worked for me, anyway.
My diet is mostly chicken and fish. I make sure I get a lot of vegetables, a lot of fruit. I am a big fruit man, I am a vegetable man anyway. And I also get a lot of rest. That’s the key I may be up early, but I’m in bed early too.
When you’re told that as a filmmaker of colour, the stories you want to tell aren’t commercial enough, then you start thinking, ‘I’m going to tell them anyway.’
What sort of sap doesn’t know by now that picture-perfect beauty is all done with smoke and mirrors anyway?
Experiments were not attempted at that time, we did not believe in the usefulness of the concept anyway, and I finished my thesis in 1962 with a feeling like an artist balancing on a high rope without any interested spectators.
Richard Ernst
If somebody has a better idea than me, I’ll take it if it surpasses what we have on the page because at the end of the day, it’s me that takes the credit anyway!
And anyway, it’s only movies. to stop me I think they’ll ahve to shoot me in the head.
If we focus on our health, including our inner health, our self-esteem, and how we look at ourselves and our confidence level, we’ll tend to be healthier people anyway, we’ll tend to make better choices for our lives, for our bodies, we’ll always be trying to learn more, and get better as time goes on.
Nobody’s ever called me Sir Richard. Occasionally in America, I hear people saying Sir Richard and think there’s some Shakespearean play taking place. But nowhere else anyway.
I’m a bit of a nomad anyway, so I find it quite easy to settle in places very quickly.
Sophie Kennedy Clark
Time dissolves in summer anyway: days are long, weekends longer. Hours get all thin and watery when you are lost in the book you’d never otherwise have time to read. Senses are sharper – something about the moist air and bright light and fruit in season – and so memories stir and startle.
If you’re an independent voter, I’m willing to bet that you were not too happy at the prospect of hitting the polls on November 8, 2016. But let me guess – you did it anyway because after all, it’s your civic duty, right?
I really like playing good guys, of course. Although, people make mistakes in their lives, and you could say that the mistakes make us who we are, by how we respond to them. I just don’t want to play boring good guys, but I don’t have that problem, anyway.
The Academy Awards ceremony is designed to be without irony, but Chris Rock supplied it anyway with filmed movie-theater interviews with black men and women who had never heard of the movies nominated for Best Picture.
I can understand there are things like shadows they need to fix after a shoot, but it’s unfair to represent an image of yourself if it’s not true. They’re gonna see what you look like on film anyway, so why try to cover all your wobbly bits in a photo?
Every reader re-creates a novel – in their own imagination, anyway. It’s only entirely the writer’s when nobody else has read it.
I’ve never been that guy who says, ‘Ooh, I have to play King Lear’. First off, that’d be a disaster anyway. I tend to read something and see who’s involved, and then know I want to be part of it. But I don’t think I’m through with comedy. I still love to make people laugh.
I love songs because by nature they are concise; they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It’s usually funnier that way, anyway.
What's the point in being an unpopular writer? It just

What’s the point in being an unpopular writer? It just doesn’t make a lot of sense. For me it doesn’t, anyway.
Bryce Courtenay
I don’t think I’m easy to talk about. I’ve got a very irregular head. And I’m not anything that you think I am anyway.
Syd Barrett
Studios have been trying to get rid of the actor for a long time and now they can do it. They got animation. NO more actor, although for now they still have to borrow a voice or two. Anyway, I find it abhorrent.
James Coburn
If someone has it inside them to commit an act, then that act would be committed anyway. It’s very easy for someone to place the blame on something other than the person who committed the act. It’s people looking for scapegoats, you know?
Cliff Burton
Daniel Patrick Moynihan is the archetypal extremely smart person who went into politics anyway instead of doing something worthwhile for his country.
Maybe sometimes I have been wrong with some movies. Anyway, I try to do my best.
I think that there is a sort of spiritual power that is translating into our bodies as we perform. Performers give, and giving is so important. It can heal. That is my experience, anyway.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.
I mean, everyone says Citizen Kane. It isn’t that great, anyway. And Orson Welles I knew well, of course. He made other incredible films that no one would let him make, which were much better than Citizen Kane, really.
You know, I eat, I ate pretty well anyway so, I’m basically living the same, I just curtailed the stupidity.
John Newcombe
I love watching Billy Bob, just as a punter anyway. I like his work. But working with him is really easy and really straight-forward. He’s immediately good. He doesn’t have to work up to it. He doesn’t make your life difficult. He listens. He’s a very good listener, in terms of his acting.
When your mother asks, ‘Do you want a piece of advice?’ it is a mere formality. It doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no. You’re going to get it anyway.
There are about 15 million Muslims in the EU. They face ignorance, insult and even persecution. They cannot be wished away. To impose Enlightenment freedoms is self-defeating. Anyway, the Muslims have their own enlightenment.
I have always been far more interested in sound than technique, and how sounds work together, how they can be layered. I think electronic music, in its infancy anyway, allowed us to create music in a way that hadn’t really been possible before. It created a new kind of musician.
I was starstruck by Michelle Obama. She’s an amazing-looking lady, and I’m a massive Barack Obama fan anyway.
You should not starve yourself with stupid diets, which I don’t believe in anyway.
There’s a schizoid streak within the family anyway so I dare say that I’m affected by that. The majority of the people in my family have been in some kind of mental institution, as for my brother he doesn’t want to leave. He likes it very much.
It’s all quotes, anyway, and it all sounds the same to me.
Steve Carlton
A multitude of bees can tell the time of day, calculate the geometry of the sun’s position, argue about the best location for the next swarm. Bees do a lot of close observing of other bees; maybe they know what follows stinging and do it anyway.
Most companies that go through layoffs are never the same. They don’t recover because trust is broken. And if you’re not honest at the point where you’re breaking trust anyway, you will never recover.
I think I was first choice for the part. I don’t know – that’s what they always tell you anyway. I didn’t have to do any audition for the part. Sam saw me in Dinner and the whole thing slipped into place.
Louise Jameson
I think melancholy is part of the natural condition, you know. Anyway, I think it’s the artist’s function to have their melancholy and not hide it, you see.
I was scheduled to give my first official press conference that morning anyway, ’cause I was chairman of the Governors Energy Council and I was making a press conference with regard to energy policy.
I really got the ‘Rhoda’ flavor from studying my stepmother, Angela, who’s Italian, not Jewish. There’s really so little difference between the speech patterns and family attitudes of Jews and Italians in the New York area, anyway.
I portray female characters, so I have the opportunity to change the way people look at them. Even if I wasn’t consciously doing that, it would happen anyway just because of how I present as a woman, or as a person. I present in a way that’s not stereotypical, even if I’m playing a stereotypical role.
My daughter has probably gotten some benefit of being inspired by a woman who is willing to take on things. We travel. We travel to exotic places. I’m the first person to jump in the ocean with a whale. Even if I’m scared, I’ll do it anyway, because I never wanted her to see fear, especially when she was younger.
All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.
I’m not called Jude Law, I have three names; I’m called ‘Hunk Jude Law’ or ‘Heartthrob Jude Law’. In England anyway, that’s my full name. That’s the cheap language that’s thrown around, that sums you up in one little bracket. It doesn’t look at your life. But if one looks beyond, there is actually a little bit more.
If I hadn’t have been good enough at football, I’d have been a sports journalist – which is what I do now anyway. Or a cricketer. I might have been a cricketer.
The sublime moment seems to be only a product of allowing yourself to get through, to get to a lot of stuff in your life, write about a lot of stuff and not edit yourself. That is a great lesson to learn for anybody that writes or creates in anyway, to be able to make something without being good or bad.
It’s never me against Saban, and I have too much respect for him to say that anyway. I never felt that way.
It's really hard to say how long the show will last and

It’s really hard to say how long the show will last and will continue. I hope it lasts for a very long time. As long as kids watch it, anyway. But beyond this, sure, I would love to be doing film. I’d love to be doing more theater and perhaps even writing.
I post all the time anyway. It’s part of who I am. There’s me IRL. There’s me URL. That’s just my life. Plus, I love it. It’s amazing to connect with so many people.
I think comedy’s harder to pull off on the screen than on the stage, anyway. Tragedy is easier on the screen… oddly enough.
Once I started selling scripts for a great deal of money – action scripts, no less, which people tend to pooh-pooh anyway – then I started to get some backlash. Which I didn’t mind.
I don’t know any other columnists, and I don’t know what they do. I work the single! And nobody does what I do, anyway.
When you are raised Catholic, there is one thing that you are confronted with at a young age, and that’s death. You’re confronted with all the big issues – and that sparks deep questions, like what the hell are we doing here, anyway?
Martin Donovan
Anyway the war is over so far as they are concerned. But to wait for dysentery is not much of a life either.
Erich Maria Remarque
You can make sure your kids make their beds and hang up their clothes and put their dishes in the dishwasher when you’re the one calling the shots. So, parenting alone, for me anyway, I think is almost easier, being single.
It’s not a good idea to put your wife into a novel; not your latest wife anyway.
There’s been no real reason to move to LA. The stuff I’ve done for America has been done in Europe anyway. We made a decision early on that we’d find our base and not shake the children’s world as much as mine.
I’m a little bit to the left of things anyway.
Nina Blackwood
I need a vacation anyway. They fight me too much. I’m not going to be the one to back out of these fights.
But aesthetics is not religion, and the origins of religion lie somewhere completely different. They lie anyway, these roses smell too sweet and the deep roar of the breaking waves is too splendid, to do justice to such weighty matters now.
Rudolf Otto
The key to growth is acknowledging your fear of the unknown and jumping in anyway.
I don’t claim that our TV comedies are highbrow in anyway, but I think there’s a basis to them, and that’s why they’re more popular than other TV comedies. There’s a basis of truth in them, a gut feeling.
Adrian Edmondson
I’ve not gotten so much stuff because I improvise in an audition, but I always feel like, if that’s the case, the reason is because it wouldn’t have worked out anyway with us working together.
I don’t get recognised in London or at home either – very seldom anyway. Either that or I look so crazy no one wants to come up to me.
I was absolutely a non-starter at games. My report for rugby said, ‘Nigel’s chief contribution is his presence on the field.’ I used to pray for rain and sometimes it did rain – and we played anyway.
Nigel Rees
Everybody’s got something. In the end, what choice does one really have but to understand that truth, to really take it in, and then shop for groceries, get a haircut, do one’s work; get on with the business of one’s life. That’s the hope, anyway.
Today is the day to break free from the prison of the person you know yourself to be and step into a self you have yet to know. Will it be comfortable? No, but do it anyway.
The great apologist has to have lived large and wild. If he’s going to kiss the world’s boo-boos and make up, he’d better plant some bruises first. A master apologizer has to be a Lord Byron, a Rick in Casablanca, a Lee Atwater, anyway.
You go on a million auditions anyway as an actor, and one out of a hundred, you get. It’s a hard life, but you can’t really think about it that way.
I divide criticism into two categories – one coming from those who understand music, who are worthy of being critical because they are knowledgeable about what they are saying; and then there is another category of people who would criticise you anyway, whether your work is good or bad.
Anyway, there is a lot of really interesting work going on in the neuroscience and psychology of consciousness, and I would love to see philosophers become more closely involved with this.
There was a minor burst of macho nuttiness after ‘Jaws’ came out, in which people would go off in shark tournaments and come back holding the bloody heads of these animals and say, ‘Look what I did.’ But they’ve been doing that for hundreds of thousands of years anyway.
After high school, I was going to move out to L.A. and try to pursue my dreams of acting. My parents said, ‘That’s fine. We support you, but you have to go to school,’ which was fine because I’m a studious person anyway; I enjoy it.
Josie Loren
Sometimes you’re afraid to fall in love with a chick, but she sucks you in anyway.
Anyway, I’ve never been captain in 16 years in the NHL. But that didn’t stop me being a leader in my own way.
I’m gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell ’em out of the trunk of my car. I’m that kind of musician and singer.
In England, we’re around so much American culture and TV anyway, so it’s an accent that’s always in our ear.
Jamie Blackley
Christianity has its own superstition, anyway: Why you turn three times, what this saint means, why you pray to the patron saint of lost causes, why you go this way or that way.
I write poetry anyway and have for years and years. For

I write poetry anyway and have for years and years. For me, putting fiction and poetry together is like the best of both worlds.
Ellen Hopkins
There is a history of gay people pretending to be straight. I want to balance the sides. I’m a straight person pretending to be gay. I’ve had a lot of people to imitate. It’s easy when you’re British; we’re camp by nature, anyway.
If there’s anything in life you consider worthwhile achievinggo for it. I was told many times to forget show business – I had nothing going for me. But I pursued it, anyway. Voila!
Isabel Sanford
Soon it’s all going to be digital anyway. It’s all going to be saved on a little coin somewhere.
Richard Donner
Somebody referred to me as a ringleader, which I wouldn’t have classed myself as, but anyway, there you go.
You have to think anyway, so why not think big?
Donald Trump
I don’t feel like a dork, but I certainly have many moments of nerdism, and I embrace it wholeheartedly. I’ve always cottoned to that crowd more, anyway.
What is reality, anyway? Just a collective hunch.
It’s wonderful being a mother playing anyway.
I am a strong believer that without justice, there is no peace. No lasting peace, anyway.
It’s always been said that comedy comes mostly out of the dark side anyway.
I did get offers from Hollywood, but they were all scripts with monsters in them. If I had done them, I would have disappeared. I would have come back to France anyway, and I would have had to start all over again and lost a lot of time.
I probably won’t be able to hear it until five years from now anyway. That’s when I always hear my own music. It takes five years to sit down with it after not hearing it for a couple of years.
Girls always want a reason to get crazy. I get the feeling that girls are crazy anyway, so they just want a reason to really get wild. Why not let it be to a Tyga song?
I’m rarely invited to start-up parties, but who cares about their trinkets and apps anyway?
I do about 90 percent of my own stunts, and the things I can’t do for insurance reasons, like swinging out of a flying helicopter, I wouldn’t want to do anyway.
You are either alive and proud or you are dead, and when you are dead, you can’t care anyway.
Listen to people and treat people as you find them. There’s an inherent goodness in most people. Don’t pre-judge people – that was me Mam’s advice anyway.
People want to tear me down, they were going to knife me anyway.
People will write whatever they want and make up whatever they want anyway.
Mick Jones
I kind of lost interest in school. I was never really that interested anyway. I was never academic. I didn’t really go to school as much as I should have.
I love directing more than anything in the world, and I love being in the editing room. I love cutting. When I’m shooting, I cut it in my head anyway. That’s not to say that it always turns out that way, but you have a sense when you’re composing a sequence or a scene how you want it to look anyway.
Hart Bochner
When you say things like, ‘We have to wipe out the Taliban,’ what does that mean? The Taliban is not a fixed number of people. The Taliban is an ideology that has sprung out of a history that, you know, America created anyway.
The roots of Silicon Valley are full of stories of immigrants and minority groups who experienced bigotry and made it anyway. Why should women be any different?
I think we in the Alpha Band, which was a strange group anyway, weren’t dealing with any of these issues. They sneaked up on us and took us over, before we know what was going on.
T Bone Burnett
The birth mother is placing the baby out of love. I still believe that. Well, the ones we’ve dealt with who were actually pregnant, anyway.
I think about my dwindling anonymity, and that’s really scary because a very large part of me would be perfectly happy living on a ranch in Colorado and having babies and chickens and horses – which I will do anyway.
I remember watching the Blu-ray, and also when they first released it on DVD in the collection of all three movies of ‘The Godfather,’ and seeing all of those scenes that they cut out, and there wasn’t a single one of them that I wished they had kept it, but they were the most exciting thing to watch anyway.
In the absence of evidence, superstition. It’s a Middle Ages thing. That’s my theory anyway.
Sometimes I gotta look in the mirror and say, ‘Hey, they’re still saying you’re too fat, but you’re here! They gotta take it or leave it.’ And in most cases, if they leave it, it’s all good because they don’t need to be in my space anyway.
Kelly Price
My life is quite physical anyway. When you are three-foot-six you kind of have to climb stuff now and again, and you find yourself in quite precarious situations just to manage in what is quite a big world.
I think filmmaking is a gamble anyway, right? You never

I think filmmaking is a gamble anyway, right? You never know the results from the start.
I can’t very well tell my batters don’t hit it to him. Wherever they hit it, he’s there anyway.
Gil Hodges
Anyway, what makes people look youthful is the quality of their skin and I don’t think you can change that.
Anyway, so here I was caught between Johnson on the one side, who was my leader, I was his whip, and here was my dear friend, personal friend, Kennedy, and they’re going to go into my state and ruin it. What am I going to do?
George Smathers
Celebrities become excluded from everyday life, kind of in exile in an echelon that is deemed better, anyway: Life of celebrity, all the fame and glamor.
Jack Gleeson
I make these little films. I’m just a working person. I just study people a little bit more. It’s more sociological, and it’s funny anyway – not that serious. It’s not like false humility. I just take it for what it is.
Julie Delpy
The themes that make one laugh always stem from poverty, hunger, misery, old age, sickness, and death. These are the themes that make Italians laugh, anyway.
Mario Monicelli
He used to have a tent show, a little tent show, and I thought I was going to get a job working one year on the tent show, but he closed it down and I never got to go out there, but anyway, he had a sax and played drums.
Earl Scruggs
A two-and-a-half-year-old is pretty experienced at making a mess, anyway.
I love going to the ring hurt or sick or tired and trying to figure out how to win anyway.
Knowing how to die is knowing how to live. What is death anyway? It’s the outcome of life.
Who needs such a long intestine, anyway?
Moshe Dayan
People often expect me to be very serious, but it’s not like my record company told me not to smile in photographs, because I was like that anyway.
Jose Gonzalez
My father was a lesson. He had his own bakery, and it was closed one day a week, but he would go anyway. He did it because he really loved his bakery. It wasn’t a job.
I’ve had teammates I didn’t get along with, who hasn’t? I’ve never had a teammate call me a bad guy, while he was my teammate, and if he did when I was gone what kind of teammate was he anyway?
I did plays in high school, but I was convinced you couldn’t make a living doing it. You don’t have a lot of options in Indiana anyway, though, so I didn’t want to stay there. I graduated early and worked a bunch of really odd jobs, and then I joined the Marines.
This is ridiculous, I mean, wholly ridiculous. It never did any child any harm to have something that was a tiny bit above them anyway, and I claim that anyone who can follow Doctor Who can follow absolutely anything.
Diana Wynne Jones
Sometimes I panic to the point where I don’t know what I’m thinking or doing. I have a full anxiety attack. I have them all the time anyway, but with auditioning, it’s bad.
Because success is such a weasel word anyway, it’s such a horribly American word, and it’s such a vamp and, I think it’s a death trap.
Daniel Berrigan
I don’t know why people are so obsessed with age anyway. I mean, 90 is the new 70; 70 is the new 50 and 50 is the new 40; so the whole act-your-age thing? Only up to a point.
I have to take care of myself because if you get sick, you still have to work. I’m not much a party animal, anyway. I lay low.
I would say 90 percent of the stuff we do is technical anyway. If you look at a two-hour training day, 12 minutes are probably spent running or gaining fitness.
I’m not going to worry about the Cure slipping down into the second division; it doesn’t bother me because I never expected to be in the first division anyway.
Anyway, in my writing I’ve always been interested in finding places to stand, and I’ve found it very useful to have a direct experience of what I’m writing about.
I would love to do a Bond song, and I could have done a Bond song: I was offered a Bond theme, but I turned it down because I didn’t like the song. But as it turned out, I was right anyway because the song was the only Bond theme that never became a hit, so I’m glad I wasn’t associated with that!
An African woman carries heavy loads anyway. That’s how we are trained; we are brought up that nothing is unbearable. I use that now, positively. I use that now to have the thick skin that I have, and not fear, and move forward, and push; and push forward.
Some of you guys are going to boo, but I’m going to say it anyway. I don’t like dogs.
As far as I can see there are no problems with people in our band as far as the relationships go anyway.
Adam Rich
With rare exceptions, I respond most to painting that cuts across grain rather than following it. I think the artist here can get in touch with that grain rather than simply feel its flow. And he really can’t cut right across it anyway.
Richard Diebenkorn
That balance between involvement and detachment is what novelists do. It’s the ideal relationship between a novelist and a character, I think, total involvement and identity and empathy, stopping short of being autobiographical – in my case, anyway – but also quite detached.
Pat Barker
Life will end in death and unhappiness, but we do it anyway.
I always had to diet. I'm diabetic, so it's a lifestyle

I always had to diet. I’m diabetic, so it’s a lifestyle for me anyway just to stay healthy and not end up in the hospital.
I can’t hold a grudge anyway.
Where’s my food? When is it coming? What did I order, anyway?
Lawrence Tierney
If one door is closed, break a window anyway.
You can cycle through London on the side streets, which are less polluted – and much more interesting anyway.
History proves that most writers get forgotten anyway. That’s very likely to happen to my books, and if I’m extremely lucky, maybe one of my books will survive.
I don’t need to hear Bill to go through a song. I need to hear Keith to go through a song. I know Bill will be playing what I’m playing anyway. I need to hear Keith because it’s all there: the time, the chord changes, and all the licks you have to follow.
When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they’re not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can ’cause I know I’m gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try.
This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.
I like America anyway. In Japan we are much more formal. If two friends are separated for a long time and they meet they bow and bow and bow. They keep bowing without exchanging a word. Here they slap each other on the back and say: Hello, old man, how goes everything.
Sessue Hayakawa
The best job was when I was at drama school and I cleaned flats in the Barbican. I loved it. They were spotless anyway, so you’d just watch the telly and flick a duster around.
So many reporters ask a lot of crazy questions. The answers to most of these questions are so obvious, but they ask them anyway just to see what kind of reaction they can get out of you.
I really see low-fare carriers, quality low-fare carriers anyway, continuing to become more and more popular.
Equal Vision seems to be doing really well. A lot of these major labels are just imploding and becoming indie labels, anyway.
Vic Fuentes
Christianity has stayed stable, as it must do. The doctrines don’t change. The understanding of what it means to walk with God doesn’t change. The reality of worship doesn’t change, not at heart, anyway. So Christianity appears to be stuck.
J. I. Packer
The lyrics are what I work on the hardest, but I’m not trying to make a perfectly clear message or anything like that. In fact, I’m usually trying to avoid saying something too directly, because usually that rings false anyway.
Matt Berninger
I look back at my elementary or high school pictures and I always had gel in my hair and a gold chain that I would wear outside my shirt. That’s how I was born and raised as an Italian male, and I always considered myself a Guido, anyway.
Pauly D
I’m really happy with Elektra, I don’t have anything bad to say about them at all. I always knew a major label was the right place for me to be. I never really had an opportunity to go to an independent label anyway.
My students know I have a life, they know I’ve written about my life. They know some detail, probably more than they know about their physics teacher, but I would’ve told them anyway!
Marya Hornbacher
I stopped getting nervous a long time ago, so any time I do get nervous, which is rare – about work, anyway – I always take that as a really good sign.
Music itself is a great source of relaxation. Parts of it anyway. Working in the studio, that’s not relaxing, but playing an instrument that I don’t know how to play is unbelievably relaxing, because I don’t have any pressure on me.
Anyone who grows up reading the Bible for spiritual reasons, you get accustomed to reading things that are too much for you, too profound for you… Having that belief that you should read them anyway gives you a great advantage over people who only read what they think they can understand.
I think I have a very good reputation amongst the gay population and among the whole country because I stood up on the issue of gay rights. It is not easy to stand up on that issue when you are single and male in New York City. I did it anyway.
As soon as someone tells me: ‘You’re rather sexy,’ I wish I could disappear. If somebody says: ‘You were voted the world’s sexiest man,’ I have no idea what that means. How do I respond? ‘Thank you’ is the best you can do. George Clooney is the world’s sexiest man, anyway.
My boyfriend, who I love to death – he’s only 17 so he’s the youngest guy I’ve ever dated – he just moved here from Hawaii to be with me and I met him when I was 10. Anyway, in Hawaii they have such a different mentality and different priorities.
In those early days, the important thing was the happy ending. I did not tolerate unhappy endings – for my heroines, anyway. And later on, I began to read things like ‘Wuthering Heights,’ and very, very unhappy endings would take place, so I changed my ideas completely and went in for the tragic, which I enjoyed.
I wasn’t a good waitress, but I was told that I was very nice and charming, so people liked me anyway.
Like everybody in show business, you think you’re going to wake up one day, and it’s all going to be taken away from you. I think we all share an insecurity in that way, everybody in show business – the ones I talk to, anyway.
The thing is, it’s not good anyway for eight-year-olds to be out there playing tennis tournaments so soon in their lives. But when I did get to play in a tournament, when I was nine, I was overjoyed.
In a crisis, don’t hide behind anything or anybody. They’re going to find you anyway.
I’m used to riding horses. My father used to breed horses when I was a child. I grew up in Tipperary, in the country, and lots of people have horses there. If my parents hadn’t been in the business, we would have them anyway, as pets. And my cousin Richard is a jockey.
Kerry Condon
You have got to make new music, that is the way that I

You have got to make new music, that is the way that I look at it anyway.
I had this dream in my head of, if I got hired by ‘SNL, what that moment would be like. And I dreamed that I would, like, collapse on the sidewalk and cry to the heavens. I got this call, and it didn’t happen naturally. But I did it anyway because I wanted to have that moment. So I did collapse.
When my children were very young, I was slated to go on a business trip. When it was nearly canceled, I decided I wouldn’t tell anyone and go off for a week’s vacation anyway. In the end, the trip went off as planned. But I was intrigued by the idea of an illicit holiday.
I was the only swimmer in movies. Tarzan was long gone, and he couldn’t have done them anyway; he could never have gotten into my bathing suit.
The doctors told me I could never have kids, but God blessed me anyway.
I’ve never been good at rock‘n’roll songs, anyway; either I’m blessed or I’m cursed, but whatever I write comes out sounding old.
I felt that working at an office from the early morning was impossible for me. Anyway, I wanted to be free from that lifestyle as soon as possible. I wanted to take it easy.
Of all celestial bodies within reach or view, as far as we can see, out to the edge, the most wonderful and marvellous and mysterious is turning out to be our own planet earth. There is nothing to match it anywhere, not yet anyway.
I avoid conflict – like, any conflict – at all costs. I hate it. Even at a restaurant, if I get the wrong order, I’ll just eat it anyway because I don’t want to make an issue.
Robin Lord Taylor
If I get to be president, what can I do anyway? With Congress and the press, what chance do I have to make basic changes?
It’s an experience I’d like to add to the chorus, that these blue-collar, macho men, like my older brother, had the capacity to say: ‘I don’t care, I love you anyway.’ There are young kids thinking: ‘I’ll never come out because it’s too hard in our communities.’ But I’m saying maybe your story can be similar to mine.
I have never liked the memoir form because I tend to think that memory fictionalizes anyway. Once you claim that you are writing a narrative purely from memory, you are already in the realm of fiction.
Francisco Goldman
I’ve fallen in love in my life a few times. It’s the most exciting part of being alive – that I’ve experienced, anyway.
When I knew I was pregnant four years ago with a boy, a friend suggested I call him Cary, but I initially resisted. There was only one Cary Grant. But a week before he was due, I started thinking it would be wonderful to pass the name on to him. And anyway, my father wasn’t Cary to me. He was Dad.
I couldn’t care less if the guy I’m guarding has HIV. I’m going to slam him anyway.
The moral angle to the foreclosure crisis – and, of course, in capitalism we’re not supposed to be concerned with the moral stuff, but let’s mention it anyway – shows a culture that is slowly giving in to a futuristic nightmare ideology of computerized greed and unchecked financial violence.
Anyway, when I was a kid, I dutifully went to the Sydney Technical and Fine Arts College.
Rod Taylor
I don’t really love the guitar hero trip, anyway, so it’s not something I’m actively searching for or after. I don’t like what it’s about.
I’m not a princess anyway so I find that quite weird to be labelled as one.
Zara Phillips
Al Gore didn’t need to distance himself from Bill Clinton when he ran for president in 2000 because, when he ran, the country was in very good shape: strong economically and not at war. He did it anyway, and it was, in many people’s estimate, mine included, one of the reasons he lost.
That was my original dream, anyway, to be on stage. I think the stage is an actor’s place because actors, it belongs to you.
Scriabin, as you know, is a mystic composer. His music is supersensuous, superromantic, and supermysterious. Everything is super; it is all a little overboard. Anyway, my parents were pleased that I played for him.
Hong Kong cinema is something you can’t duplicate anyway.
Some of my happiest moments are the ones I spend with my husband, a few close relatives, and a handful of very good friends who know me well and like me anyway.
Because so many voters happen to be illiterate, India invented the party symbol, so that voters who could not read the name of their candidate could vote for him or her anyway by recognizing the symbol under which they campaigned.
German readers are much like Brits or Americans: They read for the thrill of it, the occasional shudder down the spine, knowing it’s not real – but looking over their shoulders anyway, just in case.
Brian Lumley
I like writing characters that seem different from one another. So if you were to hypothetically look at a bunch of lines from books I’ve written, just out of context, hopefully you would be able to determine who said what. That’s the goal, anyway. I try to strongly differentiate through dialogue.
With social networks these days, everyone needs to know everything all the time. But the problem is, people are so used to short snippets of information that no one has any attention span anymore. I don’t, anyway.
You won’t ever see me being totally sexy on ‘Rookie Blue.’ It’s not right for the character, anyway.
I’m obsessed with reality TV anyway – I use my knowledge of that stuff to make jokes on Twitter and Facebook to get more people to sign up to be fans.
There is no heaven on Earth. Not now anyway.
Anyway, the title The War of the Insect Gods came befor

Anyway, the title The War of the Insect Gods came before we had that ending, before we knew they had become gods. That we knew the evolutionary cycle they went through. Before we even knew anything about that. We had an ending.
Michael O’Donoghue
One of my first questions when I interview prospective employees is, ‘Do you know how big a sheet of plywood is?’ Most people don’t, and say they are different sizes, but it’s 4′ x 8′. Anyway, working with your hands is a very American thing that we kinda lost here, but it’s an important skill to have.
I believe everything happens under God’s plan anyway.
Rick James
Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world, but I don’t mind, I’m just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isn’t really a mainstream anymore, is there?
