I still haven‘t quite caught on to the idea of writing without dialogue. I like writing dialogue, and there’s nothing wrong with dialogue in movies.
I wanted to learn how to blog, so I was playing around with WordPress and Typepad and Blogger, starting all these different blogs just to learn how these things work. I had a fake Sergey Brin blog, an anonymous, fake Ph.D kind of blog. I did it for, like, I don’t know, six weeks, and the Steve Jobs one just caught on.

Daddy had a farmcows, pigs, OK, a big garden, OK? We did live off the land, and then we would supplement all that with whatever we could kill or catch. Whether we’d kill squirrels, deer, duck, or caught catfish or brim, that was what went on the table.
I grew up in the Southwest of the U.K., on the coast in

I grew up in the Southwest of the U.K., on the coast in Cornwall. I used to keep a marine fish tank outside the house, where we would go down to the tide pools and catch fish and crabs. I think I caught a cuttlefish once.
Cheap fish has usually been caught in careless ways.
But time has caught up with it and I think vindicated it. Shampoo, too: very dark, very ambitious movie.
Robert Towne

Sometimes I get worried I’m getting too caught up in the nauseatingly oily smoothness of my own line, when all I’m trying to do is make it as clear as possible.
When you write a business fable, people get caught up in the story and don’t get judgmental about what you’re teaching them. If you’re teaching a bunch of concepts, people get skeptical and say, ‘Where’d you get that research?’ But if you tell them a story, they get caught up in it while they learn.
Once I wrapped ‘Insurgent’, I went to Boston and shot a film called ‘The Finest Hours.’ It’s based on a real story in 1952 about a Coast Guard mission to rescue these sinking ships that are caught in a blizzard.
I think the biggest thing is just focusing on the day-to-day, your routine, not getting caught up in the future or the past and just being right there and focusing on what you have to do that day or that night to help your team win.
It’s always been about making music. I’ve never gotten caught up with the trappings. You can’t get caught up in the limousines and the chicks. The most important thing is the music.
To lose two babies is really scary. It really caught on me emotionally, physically, everything. It took me at least 15 years to get over it and still, to this day, I miss my son.
Don’t be in denial. Police misconduct is nothing new, but the technology we have to capture it is. Nearly everyone is now equipped with a smartphone with a camera, so these incidents are more readily caught on film.
I got caught up in 35 years of Saturday nights. Every night was like party night to me. As a young man, you can do that; it’s OK to be an idiot. But I woke up one day, and I realized that 35 years had gone by.
When I was in the U.S., I was caught by the cops for speeding and charged a fine of 200 dollars. I didn’t have so much money then – I was still a student – but I certainly didn’t want to spend a night behind bars. I called a few of my friends frantically and they bailed me out of the situation.
I seldom watch TV, but I often get caught up in cricket no matter what time they are on.
One of the absolute rules I learned in the war was, don’t know anything you don’t need to know, because if you ever get caught they will get it out of you.

Lee Atwater
I get very caught up in the day-to-day and immersed in the scenes as they unfold. It’s harder for me, as I’m filming, to see the larger story.
The elite media has been caught in so many lies because of false statements that its whole reputation has eroded, their circulation is down, and their profits are down.

May was young and beautiful, we were legally married, but she was caught in the prison of my skin.
Touring is a rough thing. You don’t have any time to look around or stop and think if what you’re doing is making you happy. The more you tour, the better the band gets, and you get caught up in a lot more things than just traveling.
I am one of the lucky North Koreans who made it out of China. North Korean defectors in the country are terrified of trying to leave because they are often caught at the borders as they attempt to cross into Mongolia or Laos.
On landing at New York I caught the yellow fever. The kind man who commanded the ship that brought me from France took charge of me and placed me under the care of two Quaker ladies. To their skillful and untiring care I may safely say I owe my life.
Having caught a glimpse of what I might be able to do with my talent, I feel a tremendous obligation to try to fulfill it.

I've been training jiu-jitsu for a while. It just didn'

I’ve been training jiu-jitsu for a while. It just didn’t really click in my brain. Maybe sometimes I get a bit lazy. By the time I realize I’m in trouble, I’m already caught. You can’t really think about it. You’ve got to just react as it happens.
Hitler was so modern, in that he was obsessed with being famous. He was caught up with this rush to be have achieved greatness before turning 30.
Had Roosevelt been caught, we would have been in a lot of trouble. It would have been very embarrassing.
John Perkins
I don’t want to get on base and just run for the sake of running. What good is it if you steal 100 bases and get caught 60 times?
Every time I get caught on the subway around 3 or 4 during the school year, it’s definitely dicey. I get a lot of like – ‘Yo, are you that girl?’ Then I have to go eight stops with them.
I didn’t feel that my identity was caught up in being a cartoonist, and that if it stopped I’d stop.
I already hated that gray suit and then having to go through putting on that wig with a false front – again made me feel so trapped inside this person who was desperately wanting to break out of it but she was so caught up in the web of deception that she couldn’t.
‘Downton Abbey‘ has become this huge thing, and I really enjoy the success of it, but I sometimes find myself on the outside looking in, which is sort of a healthy way to look at it so you don’t get too caught up in it.
Social media – It’s not real life. I only caught the tail end of it in high school. It can be good, and it can be fun, but you can’t let it get toxic.
Natalia Dyer
I think you start hitting home runs, and you start getting caught up in seeing how far you can hit them. They’re fun, but you really only have to hit them a foot over the fence. They all count the same.
Vernon Wells
I caught on fire twice on the stage, but I was promptly put out. It was just my leg.
Tre Cool
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.
Aaron Siskind
Mr. Trump is actually going to accomplish something, and that’s why Mr. Trump’s campaign has caught on like wildfire across the country and we see these huge crowds that come out.

I do not get caught up in mundane, routine things.
Your brain sends out vibrations all the time, and your thoughts affect your life and other people’s. They pick up these thoughts and get changed by them. That’s why, say, a pacifist gets caught up in a riot situation. It’s a field of vibrations – you can ‘feel’ someone else’s thoughts when close to them.
The frustration of being ordered around by somebody to do something – everyone can relate to that. I think Beetle represents that – the common man caught in that morass of rules and regulations. I don’t even think of it as an army strip… it’s a world anyone can understand.
I think I would like the sort of job where you can work away in obscurity to try and improve things, without being caught up in the political maelstrom.
I once threw a water balloon on a girl because I caught her cheating on me. She was kissing my friend and I thought, ‘Oh, this can’t be happening.’ It was bad and I was much older than you think throwing a water balloon. I was 14.
Breckin Meyer

The world went by, and we didn’t get caught up in all the other things, because we didn’t have time. We had no spare time. It was always thinking about training and focusing on what we wanted, our goals.
Peggy Fleming
There are a few writers whose lives and personalities are so large, so fascinating, that there’s no such thing as a boring biography of them – you can read every new one that comes along, good or bad, and be caught up in the story all over again.
I once told Nixon that the Presidency is like being a jackass caught in a hail storm. You’ve got to just stand there and take it.
Like measles, the reading bug is best caught when you are young.
I try not to get caught up in how our society is so inundated with images, and stay very focused on the work that I’m doing.
When you are caught with a big shot, you don’t really feel it. It’s like being in a car crash, and maybe your arm has been ripped off… it is only when you look down at it that you realise it has happened.
At least 10 ISIS fighters have been caught coming across the border in Texas.
Let me tell you something. Nobody goes to jail unless they want to. Unless they make themselves get caught. They don’t have things organized.
Nicholas Pileggi
We get caught in our little silos and end up working ag

We get caught in our little silos and end up working against ourselves. And I think social media culture really encourages that, because you’re really just shouting into a void hoping someone picks up on what you’re saying.
I used to dream of some kind of way that you could carry a phone with you – but I never thought I would see it in my lifetime. It doesn’t matter nowadays if you are caught in traffic or got lost on the way somewhere. You can just send a text and the recipient will know that you haven’t fallen under a bus.
There is a prevailing school of thought that something good must take time, sometimes years to create and hone. I have always felt that the books I have written fastest have been my best – because I caught an unstoppable momentum in the writing.
I feel very sorry for the one or two North Korean defectors who were caught by Chinese police while entering South Korean or foreign embassies in Beijing, but their arrest drew the whole attention of the world.
Kim Young-sam
Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the number of violent extremist groups has grown across multiple continents. From Syria to Somalia to Pakistan, the United States is combating many of these groups – usually with bombs and missiles. Large numbers of innocent people are invariably caught in the middle.
When did the word ‘compromise’ get compromised? When did the negative connotations of ‘He was caught in a compromising position’ or ‘She compromised her ethicsreplace the positive connotations of ‘They reached a compromise’?
Respect talent. Get respect where respect is due, but don’t be caught up in yourself where you do things obliviously and not pay attention to what is going on.
I caught the acting bug from my dad.
Women who wear kimonos, when the fight, they have to keep their knees together, and when they use a sword, they have to move the sleeves otherwise it gets caught.
Lucy Liu
It always comes down to being accountable to your teammates and so many times you get caught up in everything else going on. And I remember as a young guy, you always worry about, ‘Well, who’s getting the reps,’ and this, that and the other, and it takes you and distracts you away from just doing your job.
Al Qaeda is not the organization now that it was before. It is under stress organizationally. Its leadership spends more time trying to figure out how to keep from getting caught than they do trying to launch operations.
Cofer Black
It takes 25 minutes to recover from a phone call or an e-mail, researchers have found, and yet the average person receives such an interruption every 11 minutes. Which means that we’re never caught up; we’re always out of breath, running behind.
When you lose a child in an accident as I did, it’s final – you’re not caught in this longing for him, to search for him, knowing he’s out there some place.
Because of our excessive touring and not giving up, it wasn’t until ‘Toys‘ came out that ‘Dream On’ really caught on. And then, of course, ‘Walk This Way’ crept up after that. Things went our way after that.
I never watch television, although, the other night, my wife and I caught an episode of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘ from Season Six. It’s the only series of which I’ve ever watched every single episode.
The truth of the matter is, I am a black woman, and I am an actor. I don’t try to get caught up in being a black actor; I’m just an actor who is a black woman. It’s not about forgetting that you’re black, but you don’t need to be hammered over the head, either; it just is what it is.
I wrote my first real murder story as a journalist for the Daytona Beach News Journal in 1980. It was about a body found in the woods. Later, the murder was linked to a serial killer who was later caught and executed for his crimes.
I do think hubris played a role here as well, the belief that the Lusitania was too big and too fast to ever be caught by any submarine, and that, in any case, no U-boat commander would think to attack the ship because to do so would violate the long-held rules governing naval warfare against merchant shipping.
Every once in a while someone without a single bad habit gets caught.
I just don’t understand how people can get so caught up in having their picture taken.
I am critical of modernity giving science and technology a blank check as if it were the fountain of all truth. That is not true. And I think I may have introduced a word which has now caught on quite a bit, scientism. Science is good. It simply reports a discovery.
It’s hard in America as a writer of color, an actor of color, not to get caught up in race and culture. But you’re also supposed to be able to write characters and scenes in a way where it’s just a matter of fact, a component.
When I’m promoting a film, I’m not going to get caught up in anything else, and that includes all my personal things.
Before its immature ways caught up with it, Uber got bigger and went further than Webvan ever did. But it bleeds money, courts controversy, and makes enemies like no company Ive ever seen.
I look for something that is highly unusual, involving ordinary people caught in extraordinary situations.
Walter Lord
There is one thing I would break up over, and that is if she caught me with another woman. I won’t stand for that.
There were many times when I could have gone down the path of being a child star, which I know can be bad; I think, especially in L.A., it’s easy to get caught up in that life.
Every role you play is literally – and I’ve said this before – every single role that you play, the only way you can connect to that character is because that was a piece of you that was scattered around that yard, almost like we got caught up in some whirlwind.
A stylist understands our body language; they know what works and what doesn’t. I’m happy this concept has caught on in the South film industry.
Foolish people follow the system, get caught up in media news, what the government wants you to believe and all the higher powers want you to believe, and go down the same path as all the sheep in the cattle market.
When fiction started on TV, the daily soap splurge happened and I knew that I would not get caught in a daily soap.
I think women get caught up too much in having a plan -

I think women get caught up too much in having a plan – ‘I’m going to get married at this age; I’m going to have a kid at this age’ – and then they just try to find a guy who will fit into that picture. I don’t want my life to be based on that.
Those is power being largely corrupt, recognize that a non functional and corrupt judiciary will allow them to escape punishment even when they get caught.

We keep on saying ‘Jack’ and ‘he,’ but that’s one of the great things about the Ripper: its a mystery, which is part of the fascination and the fear. If you can see evil and face it, it often doesn’t look so evil, but the Ripper never got caught.
Jerome Flynn
Sometimes if you have a coach or team-mates for too long, you get caught in certain routines. I think it’s good to shake up things a little bit.
In some cases, inventions prohibit innovation because we’re so caught up in playing with the technology, we forget about the fact that it was supposed to be important.
The thing that’s caught me off guard is going to dinner and people asking me for autographs or to take a picture. People coming to my house asking for autographs – that’s something I really haven’t grasped the whole entirety of yet.
Johnny Manziel
Human behavior in the midst of hardship caught my attention very early on, and my first stories were all pictures, no words.
Wally Lamb
I like to write and draw and paint, and my mom’s an artist, so I think I get caught up in thinking, ‘I’m afraid it’s gonna be bad,’ and it’s hard for me to start sometimes.
Much extremist activity falls short of directly inciting people to violence or other crimes and so is not caught by laws on incitement. Neither does the Public Order Act, used to protect groups of people from harassment, deal with the problem.
With ‘Poison,’ I’m sure some people just hated the movie, but it also got caught up into a debate about arts funding because it was a film that received a National Endowment for the Arts Public Grant, and it won the prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
Unlike others who have been caught swearing on camera, I apologised immediately. And yet I am the only person banned for swearing. That doesn’t seem right.
I get very caught up with things. I used to be dominated by domestic things. I had a lovely house in LA-and it became this growing, mad obsession.
You can get caught up in making and missing shots, but the game is so much more.
I got thrown out of school several weeks in my senior year being caught in the girls’ dorm. This was 1954, friends. The girls’ dorm was off limits. Even to girls, I think.
I think there’s something really painful about your identity being entirely composed of ghosts. For me, I didn’t want to be this kid whose Dominicanness was something caught utterly in the past, is an abstraction, the thing that I write about. Instead I wanted it to be, first and foremost, a thing that I lived.
We had to go to bed by 8 P.M. My siblings and I would often play cards under the bed-sheets. But we would get caught and then were made to practise harder. My father would say, ‘You need to work even more if you aren’t tired enough to go to sleep.’
I first read ‘The Lord of the Rings‘ as an adolescent. It’s a dense novel, a sprawling, complex monster of a book populated with a prolific number of characters caught up in a narrative structure that, frankly, does not lend itself to conventional storytelling.
I don’t know how to put it, but yet you know we have so many people who the way they look at life, the way they work depends on what happens, us winning or losing. It’s kind of crazy. So, I kind of got caught up in that, I’m gonna try to stay away from that.
I was going to go make a film in Greece. if they caught you with this much marijuana, they threw you in jail, no questions asked, and I was trying to stuff it in my deodorant bottles. I thought, what I am doing?
Dyan Cannon
I can’t quite remember the exact moment when I became obsessed with writing a play about the seemingly endless war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but I knew that I wanted to somehow tell the stories of the Congolese women caught in the cross-fire.
I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement.
In the NFL a lot of times everyone gets caught up in the business side of things. For them it’s all about money and it really leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
As a little kid in the late 1960s, I was afraid of the world. Even if I didn’t get caught in the draft that was sending American teenagers to Vietnam, there was always the possibility of a Soviet nuclear attack. I made constant escape plans and imagined a life going from port to port.
Every event that a man would master must be mounted on the run, and no man ever caught the reins of a thought except as it galloped past him.
There was plays where I had to do certain things, but I wouldn’t even know who caught the ball because I was so focused on getting my job done.
College athletics are so entrenched and enjoyed by so many people that they will never be discontinued or substantially changed. I know that. I just pity the people caught in that tender trap. And most of all, I pity those kids.
If you read a book that’s fiction and you get caught in the characters and the plot, and swept away, really, by the fiction of it – by the non-reality – you sometimes wind up changing your reality as well. Often, when the last page is turned, it will haunt you.
We writers, as we work our way deeper into our craft, learn to drop more and more personal clues. Like burglars who secretly wish to be caught, we leave our fingerprints on broken locks, our voiceprints in bugged rooms, our footprints in the wet concrete.
Ross MacDonald
My grammar school caught on to the fact that the reason

My grammar school caught on to the fact that the reason I was falling asleep in class was that I was doing working men’s clubs till 10 or 11 at nights. My mother was told I shouldn’t do it anymore. Of course, I was bringing in money to the family, so nobody liked hearing that.
Don’t get caught up in the ‘look’ thing. Sometimes, we as men and women, the first thing that attracts us to someone is their physical appearance, and that’s not always a good thing because what’s good on the outside is not always good on the inside.
Keith Sweat
Trolling is a cyber-crime, and if you are caught for it, you cannot run away by saying that it is your opinion.
The frontiers of a book are never clear-cut: beyond the title, the first lines, and the last full stop, beyond its internal configuration and its autonomous form, it is caught up in a system of references to other books, other texts, other sentences: it is a node within a network.
I like to catch fish and release them. I probably haven’t killed a fish that I’ve caught in sport fishing for 20 years. No reason to kill it. You know, just take it and release it.
I never read my press when I was competing. I never got caught up in what I was doing at that moment.
You see a virus very differently when it’s caught and suspended on a slab of glass than when you’re observing how it’s ravaged a fellow human being.
Disability informs almost every part of my life. It’s as important, if not more so, than my gender and sexuality. It’s certainly a great deal more important to me than my religion or whether or not I caught a tram, ferry or bus to work.
The true measure of a man is what he would do if he knew he would never be caught.
Lord Kelvin
When Neil Young caught two women incessantly texting at a concert in 2012, he began mock typing on an invisible phone on stage until the women noticed and apparently left the show.
I did a play back in 2005 called ‘The Pillowman,’ which Martin McDonagh directed, in which, at the very end of the run, I caught a case of shingles. I had something burst on my forehead, so I actually have a mark on my forehead from that experience. But it’s also an internal mark as well.
I never really caught on in America. I don’t have an agent. It’s too strange for me.
Hollywood is very much an industry town. Your life becomes caught up in all of the parties and this list and that list. That’s not something that I respond well to.
I’m a fan first and foremost. I get caught up in the drama, the emotion of what is happening, whether it’s a boxing match, an MMA fight, a kickboxing contest, or a WWE matchup. I want to tell the story and paint more pictures.
You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it’s kind of a lifestyle and it’s easy to get caught up in it – you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone’s doing a certain thing… It’s tough.
I got cocky and I stopped taking my vitamins. It was an inconvenience to have a suitcase full of vitamins with me on the road. About two years ago, it caught up with me.
Mary Ann Mobley
I grew up fly fishing when I was a kid. The feeling of it is fun. I went fly-fishing on Lake Delaware once, and I caught a record brook trout.
Marketers sometimes get caught in this lie that you must talk to people only in the voice that they recognize.
In a world where the latest app can sell for billions of dollars, there are plenty of ways to provide a minimum of humanity for those caught in conflict, who never had the opportunity to reach their potential in the first place.
‘Life, Love & Hope’ is… I’m thinking ‘larger picture.’ I’m not trying to preach to anyone. We all get lost and caught up in our everyday problems. Your cellphone doesn’t work or you got a parking ticket, you had a bad day at work. You can lose sight of the really important things in life; that’s what the song is about.
You can’t get too caught up in yourself.
One must know the so-called ‘lesson of a downpour.’ A man, caught in a sudden rain en route, dashes along the road not to get wet or drenched. Once one takes it for granted that in rain he naturally gets wet, he can be in a tranquil frame of mind even when soaked to the skin. This lesson applies to everything.
Yamamoto Tsunetomo
Theology is endlessly interesting in that you can study it without believing in anything. I do believe, but you don’t have to. I got very caught up in the 11th-century monasticism and the Cistercians. My dissertation was about Aelred of Rievaulx and one of his books.
Do what in your heart you know is right. It is easy to get caught up in your ambitions, but no job is worth not being true to yourself.
I was born into an artistic family, and they understood me. But they were really worried, because some of the stuff I did was dangerous. If I’d been caught without the veil with a shaved head, I don’t know what would have happened.
Golshifteh Farahani
I’m trying to not get too caught up in what I can’t control.
To remember non-attachment is to remember what freedom is all about. If we get attached, even to a beautiful state of being, we are caught, and ultimately we will suffer. We work to observe anything that comes our way, experience it while it is here, and be able to let go of it.
The cinema saved me from being a delinquent. I could have been, but I didn’t get caught up. I never was going to get arrested or anything.
We’re showing a situation that these kids are caught in and being forced to do but the violence is not glorified. Most of the kids in there are not wanting to be doing it.
It caught us by surprise when people started calling us a boy band because we’d always considered ourselves pretty serious musicians.
Sentences are like just caught fish. Spunky today, stinky tomorrow.
I've caught fish as big as I am. I've caught marlin clo

I’ve caught fish as big as I am. I’ve caught marlin close to 300 pounds.
Merlin Olsen
Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W Bush (and, in their image, Tony Blair) bitterly annoyed their antagonists because they were – at least until the Iraq war caught up with Blair and Bush – Teflon. David Cameron is in this model.
I’ve caught myself watching MSNBC more and more, simply amazed at the nightly hate-fest against millions of Americans who don’t see the world through the granny glasses of Keith Olbermann or any of the other radical liberals who host shows there.
Everybody hangs out with everybody, which is very strange for a cast this large and this young. We’re all cool and down to earth and not caught up in this maniacal business at all… . Everybody really, really likes everybody else.
The numbers of terrorists that we have caught coming – we actually don’t catch them coming across the border. We usually catch them in some other context.
Many times, I left the prison thinking, ‘I’m smart. I can make it. I won’t get caught up again.’ But you get off downtown Skid Row, and you’re a target for all of the environmental harms in that area. The pain and trauma in that area is so thick, you can almost reach your hand out and touch it.
I had a lot of those fake friends. You just have to realize it’s happening. You can’t get caught up in the ‘Oh, my God, they want to be my friend, finally’ aspect.
I get tips from Bob Gaudio. And one of my songs somehow caught the attention of one of my idols, Marty Panzer, who wrote big hits for Barry Manilow. So two guys who inspired me to write lyrics are now teaching me to write.
Erich Bergen
Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile, I caught hell for.
I used to get nervous just going to the stage door, seeing people waiting to talk to me. I was afraid of being caught out in some way or not being right.
When I was younger, I thought I had to shut myself off, work really hard to cry. I learned after a while that that’s just not… You know, often in life, you cry when you’re caught off-guard. That’s where I need to be when I’m acting, too.
There is no humane slaughter requirement for wild fish caught and killed at sea, nor, in most places, for farmed fish.
The first crocodile I ever caught was at nine years of age, and it was a rescue.
I believe my own demons would have caught up with me regardless of my race and regardless of whether I worked at ‘The Times.’
Jayson Blair
If any of us caught a fever during pregnancy, we would seek advice and support from a doctor. Getting help with our mental health is no different – our children need us to look after ourselves and get the support we need.
I don’t want to be too cool. You get so caught up with whether you’re doing it right.
One of the things that the Grateful Dead did, way back when, was we spent a lot of time just turning each other on to music. If somebody was listening to something that really caught their ear, they’d make sure that everybody else in the band heard it, and that came home for us in innumerable ways.
I feel like my biggest competition is myself. A lot of kids get caught up in the comparing game – comparing themselves with Michael Jackson, comparing themselves with Michael Jordan. You gotta be your best. You gotta overcome your own fears.
I caught the U.S. Open a couple of times, but, man, I would love to catch Wimbledon and watch Nadal – he is the king of all kings.
My parents took me around the world when I was young, so I caught the bug. Every person is different when he travels, and every travellers’ story is uniquely his own.
When I think of the person that I thought was Bill Clinton, I think he had genuine remorse. When I think of the person that I now see is 100 percent politician, I think he’s sorry he got caught.
We gazed dreamily at the Milky Way and once in a while caught some shooting stars. Times like those gave me the opportunity to wonder and ask all those very basic questions. That sense of awe for the heavens started there.
Going from ‘Shark Night’ to ‘Piranha,’ a guy holding a fish on a stick in front of you that they’re going to replace in post-production, it’s a lot different than seeing this animatronic shark that, if you get caught up in the moment, looks, acts and you sometimes think could be real.
Too much negotiating and not enough work on the court – that’s what happened to me during the lockout. Too much talking and not enough training. I couldn’t put in my usual offseason work routine. I think that all caught up to me, with my Achilles problems.
Patrick Ewing
As a reader and as a viewer, usually when I watch a movie, I’m caught up enough in the movie that I’m not breaking it down to the details anyway.
When I was a kid, it was just a wild dream to think that I would’ve had a career like this, and I really didn’t think that was possible. But things just kind of started to roll, and I was caught up in it, and I went with it.
Who shall measure the hat and violence of the poet‘s heart when caught and tangled in a woman’s body?
Drug smugglers often use juveniles to carry their shipments into the U.S. because they know the juveniles will not be prosecuted if caught.

We are fortunate to have some of the greatest and best

We are fortunate to have some of the greatest and best teachers in the world, but we want to make sure that those few that try to sneak through the system are caught in advance.
The question that we must ask is whether we are making progress toward the goal of universal peace. Or are we caught up on a treadmill of history, turning forever on the axle of mindless aggression and self-destruction?
F. W. de Klerk
I can’t get caught up in the negative because that destroys you.
A female friend who caught me watching Fashion TV reckons its audience is largely made up of slobbering men who are just taking a break from the appalling Men & Motors channel. I don’t agree.
I think it’s really easy to just get caught up in what everyone else is doing, so I think the most important thing to remember is to be really strong in your own shoes. That is the main thing for me. The one thing that kind of gets in my way sometimes is when I’m a little too aware of everybody else.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the future and in the past.
But don’t get caught out there looking goofy. It’s weird. When you do something that stinks, it’s going to last forever on the Internet. There’s always someone in the audience with a camera phone and if you’re not 100%, you’re going to be watching yourself on YouTube.
Everybody gets caught up in everything, but at the end of the day we’re all just here for a short time, so we may as well enjoy it.
This inner strength we have, this desire to evolve and expand and explore, I do love that about humanity. At the same time, it’s scary what it does on a global scale. I’m very much caught between the two.
My first concept was for a game in which you were a prisoner of war and simply had to escape. If you were caught, you’d be brought back to the prison. The idea was for a non-combat game.
Because we’re in a small town and somewhat isolated from the fast lane of high tech, we’ve been able to grow and concentrate on our work instead of being distracted by the competition and getting caught up in the soap opera of Silicon Valley.
I don’t like kissing on camera. It’s bad enough to be caught kissing by your parents. But when you have a whole crew watching you, it’s a little weird.
Christine Lakin
You’ve got a big, big problem if you get caught up in what people say. If you’re gonna live for what people say, you might as well lay down and forget it. Because it doesn’t work that way.
Ahmad Jamal
Both the United States and the world economy have already reached – and surpassed – their sustainable physical limits. Ground water is being drawn down, soils eroded, forests cut faster than they grow, fish caught faster than they reproduce, non-renewable fossil fuels burnt without developing substitutes.
I certainly have gotten caught up in the music business at various times in my life, mostly because you want to get along with whatever record company you’re dealing with. I don’t want to be flaky. I don’t want to be some temperamental, hard-to-work-with musician.
I always did what I thought was interesting. I always just did what caught my fantasy. Looking like a woman, that was never the criteria for me. It was always to do drag. And drag is not gender-specific. Drag is just drag. It’s exaggeration.
Watching a film should feel like you just tore a hole out of the air and the void caught fire.
Once men are caught up in an event, they cease to be afraid. Only the unknown frightens men.
Getting caught is the mother of invention.
Robert Byrne
I tore my abdomen. That ended my football career, which was what I wanted to do my entire life, and when that was over, I pretty much looked to just about anything, but nothing really caught my interest.
I think the Casey Anthony trial caught a lot of news organizations off guard.
When you’re acting, it’s all about you and the person in front of you, and I think in life we forget to apply the same technique, and we get caught up in the panic of what we’re trying to do – how overwhelmingly daunting the task of trying to become an actor is.
I’ve seen a lot of my friends go through different reality shows, and they just get caught up in a lot of stagnant positions, unfortunately.
Will Champlin
It used to be said that when the U.S. sneezed, the world caught a cold. The opposite is equally true today.
I definitely caught acting bug.
Dad made it to Gold Shield Detective, so he always busted Robin, my oldest brother, and me. Always got caught, whatever we were doing.
Pierre Curie came to see me and showed a simple and sincere sympathy with my student life. Soon he caught the habit of speaking to me of his dream of an existence consecrated entirely to scientific research, and he asked me to share that life.
Writing a song to be a single is hard, and I don’t like to focus on that because you can get caught up in making something just terrible, which is really easy to do if you’re focused on making it a single. It’s more fun when you focus on what excites you musically.
My respect for TSA agents went up a notch. We look at ’em like, ‘You can’t bother me, I’m gettin’ on my flight. Stop wastin’ my time.’ They’re doing it to protect us. Their job is to do everything they’re doing. We sometimes don’t respect other people’s jobs because we’re caught up in our world.
It took me a couple years to get over the stereotype I was letting myself get caught up on, being a football player trying to start a career in music.
The fact is I like Mumbai less and less. My son says, ‘Baba, let’s go for a drive’, and I tell him, ‘Where’s the fun of a drive in this place?’ You get caught in a million traffic jams, and you spend time cooped in your car with all that mad cacophony around you.
If you go off the Senior Bowl, that's basically what I

If you go off the Senior Bowl, that’s basically what I can do. I played H-back, I played fullback, I played tight end, I played slot receiver, I ran routes, I caught some balls, blocked, just doing that stuff.
I started doing community theatre as a way to make friends, and that was when I caught the acting bug.
I used to walk through the Old Times Square fearing for my life. Now I wouldn’t be caught dead there.

I don’t get caught up in the hoopla, worry about where I’m pitching or if I’m pitching Game 1 or Game 5.
When we did ‘Eliminator,’ at the time, it was experimental for us. It obviously turned out real successful, but at the time, we caught crap about it from some of our old fans. They thought we were deserting our roots or our old style or whatever.
Nowadays, everyone has a camera phone, and you have to be careful about being caught out there looking crazy and ending up on the Internet.
Keith Sweat
Character is doing the right thing when nobody’s looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that’s right is to get by, and the only thing that’s wrong is to get caught.
Working with Tracy Morgan on ’30 Rock’ is really great. I love Tracy. He’s wonderful. Well, until his fish tank caught fire – his apartment burned up and flooded my apartment. We live in the same building, but I’m eight floors below him and we had to evacuate.
I suggest we bring some normality back to this country and say if you are carrying a knife, there must be zero tolerance. If it was up to me, everyone caught with a knife would get an automatic ten year sentence.
As a mother I think you often get so caught up in trying to take care of everyone else that you forget to take care of yourself. But I’m a much better wife and mother when I take the time to take care of myself.
Jimmy Kimmel still comes across like a guy who crashed a party and got caught at it, yet adamantly refuses to leave.
The only way I can lose is if I’m caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.
Edwin Edwards
It doesn’t really matter to me what the rest of country is doing. I’m not caught up in trying to make a record that sounds like everybody else. That, to me, is a record label‘s absolute biggest downfall.
Sometimes you do get caught up in the midst of becoming… a product, a brand, and not having a say in any of that.
If you aim at anything lower that is expecting your audience to be really alert and aware, then you’re going to be caught out sooner or later as a composer.
Peter Maxwell Davies
I never identified with anybody. I have always been very sensitive about my color, because everybody called me ‘yellow gal.’ I was caught in between both sides – nobody wanted me. I love that my audience is there, but I always feel as though I have to fend for myself.
Each time I caught sight of geese swooping in formation across the sky, I wondered how our life below might look from their perspective, and imagined that, were they ever to indulge in such speculation, the high-rises might seem to them like firs massed in a grove.
I think it’s important to look at the world as a bigger place than just the bubble that we live in. It’s so easy to get caught up in things of a trivial nature.
I’ve been lucky to have opportunities with David Lynch in ‘Lost Highway‘ and Jennifer Lynch in this movie ‘Surveillance,’ so I’ve always boomeranged around a little bit, and no one has caught my foot in the trap yet, but I think if I move fast enough… ‘cos I think I got trapped a couple of times.
In L.A., it’s easy to get caught up in what you look like or how much money you have, and those aren’t values I want my kids to adopt.
An athlete gets paid a lot of money. And someone who is after that, a thief, a mugger or someone who steals from people, they are taking a chance with the law that if they get caught, they are going to jail or face some other problem. In my case, you are going to get shot.
I had one particular handbag disaster when I couldn’t get into it, and when I finally did, it flew over the red carpet and was caught by 200 lenses. Not a great moment.
Spell-check ruins my work. It fixes all my slang and dialect into standard English. So I’m caught in a tangle of technology that feels very foreign to me.
There may be a better one somewhere, but I haven’t caught her at it.
Celia Johnson
When things could’ve gone really bad, rugby caught my interest and I really stuck with it. The sport brought me, maybe off the streets where we’d be fighting, into putting in a good effort in the rugby field where you’re kind of rewarded for that rough behaviour instead of in trouble with the law.
Daniel Cudmore
I don’t think the state of California realized there would be this many people here caught up in the freeway system.
Richard Grieco
Sometimes you actually get caught in the web of things where people are talking about… what kind of breakfast cereal you like.
The viral power of online media has proven how fast creative ideas can be spread and adopted, using tools like cellphones, digital cameras, micro-credit, mobile banking, Facebook, and Twitter. A perfect example? The way the Green Movement in Iran caught fire thanks to social media.
I suppose people lost interest in me when I left Liverpool; but it wasn’t me who left, it was other people who left me. If people had continued to follow me, they would have seen my two good seasons in Turkey which caught the attention of Besiktas and Galatasaray.
When it is perceived that a show has gone awry, the pressure is staggering, and as a writer caught in that storm, it feels like you are being attacked by jackals.
Steven Bochco
I have caught my reflection and thought, 'Oof. That gir

I have caught my reflection and thought, ‘Oof. That girl is struggling. That girl is tired.’ I’ve had mornings where I’m like, ‘Oh God, I have weird hair.’
I definitely caught a lot of backlash in my situation, not just from students but also from faculty, which was unfortunate, given that I was spending a lot of my time outside school working on a career, which a lot of people didn’t really agree with.
It’s very frightening when you’re told you have any form of the c-word, but because of early detection, they caught it before it had hardly begun. I’m completely cured and will go on to have a wonderful, fruitful life. I’ll never die of prostate cancer.
As the humanities and liberal arts are downsized, privatized, and commodified, higher education finds itself caught in the paradox of claiming to invest in the future of young people while offering them few intellectual, civic, and moral supports.
Thanks to my reading, I have never been caught flat-footed by any situation, never at a loss for how any problem has been addressed… It doesn’t give me all the answers, but it lights what is often a dark path ahead.
I once heard two ladies going on and on about the pains of childbirth and how men don’t seem to know what real pain is. I asked if either of them ever got themselves caught in a zipper.
Their mothers had finally caught up to them and been proven right. There were consequences after all but they were the consequences to things you didn’t even know you’d done.
Everybody needs to show respect to each others’ ways and the cultural life that you get on this planet. Don’t get caught up on ‘I’m brown, black, white, red, blue, whatever.’ You gotta ask, what were you called before 1492? All these names we’re using now are just an illusion made to keep us fighting each other.
What I really love about the Bay area sound is that it’s very unique and that’s something I want to strive for, as an artist. It’s easy to get caught up in what’s trending, but Bay area rap stays true to the local sound.
You have family and kids, you get home and they want to play with you but you just end up on your phone. I caught myself doing that when my little one wanted a kickaround and I decided I’d had enough.

I would be going until I went over the bounds of reality and was then caught up in a profound wish to be dead without having to go through the shaming defeat of suicide.
Joshua Logan
Don’t get me wrong; it’s not like I didn’t go out and have fun. But there’s been a lot of players that come to New York and get caught up in the lifestyle, and before you know it, they’re sent away to another team because it affected their performance.
Steampunk has been hovering around for a long while, and it’s never really caught on in a big way.
Chris Wooding

I never wanted to be in the late-night talk show wars, and I think somehow with ‘Totally Biased,’ I got caught up in all that. Suddenly, there are articles about how we finally have a black voice in late-night.
I always find filming stressful. I get very caught up thinking about my character – ‘Am I doing it right? Should it be done this way?’
Well, stealing bases adds some runs but very few, and you lose most of the runs that you gain by having runners caught stealing.
Women are wonderful, but they get so caught up about their body. We need to unhook from worrying so much. When I don’t feel good, I look in the mirror and think I look fat and miserable. But when I feel good and whole, I’m not worried about my body because I’m living in it. It doesn’t become an object.
Natalie Goldberg
In all cities, the better classes – the business men – are the sources of corruption, but they are so rarely pursued and caught that we do not fully realize whence the trouble comes.
We must not extend nor expand Obamacare. We need a completely different solution to help those caught in the Obamacare snare.
In life, unfortunately, I’ve had multiple experiences where people that I thought I could depend on have switched up, or I’ve caught them in lies, and their true colours have shown.
Epitaph for a dead waiter – God finally caught his eye.
George S. Kaufman
I think social media is an interesting beast – you can’t get too caught up in it. People can get caught up in it sometimes, but I think it’s important to live in the present and not on the computer screen.
I didn’t really think too much about being any kind of pioneer. The truth is, I actually kind of caught onto a couple of really great coat tails in my career. The things were already moving when I got involved in both cases, really – Poco and the Eagles.
Sometimes, my manager is caught off guard by me talking to myself, so he’ll start talking back to me.
From the pop side, people like Usher, and when they first came out, I listened to guys like K-Ci and JoJo; that ’90s R&B thing really caught my ear.
And if you get caught up in combing the Internet for what people think of you or how people perceive you, I think that’s a slippery slope.
In the four years since its launch, Kepler has chalked up 122 new and confirmed planets. It’s also caught the scent of nearly three thousand additional objects, of which probably 80 percent or more will turn out to be other-worldly orbs.
Being compared to players, being linked to other teams – I don’t really take any of it in, to be honest. If you think about it too much, you get caught up in it.
I’ve been caught in parachute pants. And on my high school yearbook, they used the wrong picture. They were supposed to use the picture of me with a nice suit on. They used me with my collar flipped up, in a fuchsia and white striped shirt. I blame Prince and Michael Jackson in the Eighties for that.
As the Tories know, the problem with setting yourself u

As the Tories know, the problem with setting yourself up as a shining example for others to follow is that when you get caught out, that proverbial substance really hits the fan.
The United States basically accepted protection abroad as the price of post-war recovery. Now, that these countries have caught up to our level of prosperity, it is time for them to catch up to our level of openness.

Would a real man get caught eating a twinkie?

Billie Jean just caught me on a bad day.

Madi Diaz
Like many authors, I caught the writing bug during my teenage years. I don’t remember the exact day or year, but I remember that reading S.E. Hinton’s ‘The Outsiders‘ sparked my interest in writing.
Ally Carter
If technology has finally caught up with individual liberty, why would anyone who loves freedom want to rethink that?
It was a long journey, but it was also a relief to see that first plastic being caught.
I wonder if too frequently publishers and developers are so caught up with going after new, untapped audiences that they can forget to care for the largest, most loyal and reliable audience there is – the current gamer.
I’ve always looked upon research as an opportunity to satisfy my curiosity. But the other side of the coin is one must not be so caught up in it that one never gets the book written.
Gayle Lynds
I think that my music is really empowering. I just want people to know – especially young people, but really everyone – that you don’t have to be so caught up in what everyone else is thinking. You don’t have to be the coolest, most popular person. You can just be you and be vulnerable.
When I was starring as Roxie Hart in ‘Chicago,’ I got my stiletto heel caught in my fishnet tights and fell flat on my face. It was incredibly painful and not something you can cover up.

Until the year 1967, it was a crime, for which you could be put in prison, to make homosexual love to someone in your own house. If they came in and caught you at it, you could be put into prison. This has changed – I’m talking about England, incidentally.
Jews are not part of a European ruling class imposed on helpless natives, but are caught up in a tragedy in which two peoples are struggling for the same piece of land.
I had breast cancer. I caught it early.
Artists are the people that no matter what, pick up the pen, pick up a paintbrush. They take the time to translate what is happening to create something that resonates deeply with the rest of the people that are caught in the middle of their own reality.
We have sat on the river bank and caught catfish with pin hooks. The time has come to harpoon a whale.
John Hope
The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked and he has not been caught.
I see it all the time in politics. If a candidate gets caught in a lie, he quickly tries to change the subject by throwing more mud at his opponent. The mud keeps flying until some of the slanderous material sticks.
People are so caught in a routine, doing the same things over and over.
It’s always great to visit Taranaki; it’s beautiful, and I’ve caught some great waves there.

John W. Vessey, Jr.
I’ve told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn’t kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.
As a guerrilla journalist, I participate in the news by holding individuals who are in the news accountable through personal interactions. That involves confronting people in ambush interviews, secretly recording them, or engaging in a conversation with them when they are caught off guard.
We all get so caught up in the moment of what we're doi

We all get so caught up in the moment of what we’re doing every day, it’s hard to hit that reset button and get pulled away from all that and see life from a different perspective.
Passion is the evil in adultery. If a man has no opportunity of living with another man‘s wife, but if it is obvious for some reason that he would like to do so, and would do so if he could, he is no less guilty than if he was caught in the act.
I would never be one to go striding over to any woman who caught my eye – after all, I’m the person who got to know my wife’s parents before I plucked up the courage to talk to her.
There were many influences on me while growing up. In the late Seventies and early Eighties when I was growing up in Hyderabad, it was a bit more laid-back, and that gave you time to think about things differently without perhaps being caught up in the narrow approach to one’s journey through life.
To me, the tragedy about this whole image-obsessed society is that young girls get so caught up in just achieving that they forget to realize that they have so much more to offer the world.
I’m terribly nostalgic, but I’m with the Elizabethans who thought nostalgia was a disease. It’s a dangerous place to be because you can get caught up in it.
I went to a shrink once, but I caught him going to a fortune-teller so I quit.
I rarely get recognized, and whenever I do, it has to do with ‘The Leftovers‘ because it came into someone’s life at a particularly important time for them – if they were dealing with grief or loss or whatever tragedy – and they just caught it. And there is no rhyme or reason to the kind of person it is.
The bands that do well don’t get caught up in fads; they are just true to themselves.
If my father Ninoy Aquino were alive today, he would say that he is not superman or superboy. In effect, heroes are really just ordinary people caught up in extraordinary times and respond properly.
As far as everyone else’s opinion, I mean, if I would have thought that everyone was right, I probably wouldn’t have left Compton, so I don’t get too caught up on what the next person thinks.
There is something universal in the theme of a man trying to save his family in the midst of the most terrible circumstances. It is not limited to Sierra Leone. This story could apply to any number of places where ordinary people have been caught up in political events beyond their control.
It’s all trotters in Sweden, so that’s what’s always caught my eye.

Barbara Steele
I caught a lot of flak for being a young mama.
I’m a polarizing person, so people get caught up in hoping I fail. And just like success, failure is a perspective.
Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave know best. Although I wear a lot of jeans, I’ve been told that Nick Cave doesn’t own a pair and wouldn’t be caught dead in denim.
Matt Berninger
If – heaven forbid – a shooter did come into my class, I wouldn’t want to have to worry about getting caught in a crossfire.
That was the big lesson for all of us. Everything was going great on paper, but we all became miserable because we were so caught up in the machinery of how you make that happen, it took away the sheer joy.
Susanna Hoffs
Nothing is as easy to make as a promise this winter to do something next summer; this is how commencement speakers are caught.
The image of Stephen Hawking – who has died aged 76 – in his motorised wheelchair, with head contorted slightly to one side and hands crossed over to work the controls, caught the public imagination as a true symbol of the triumph of mind over matter.
We are caught in the contradiction of finding life a rather perplexing puzzle which causes us a lot of misery, and at the same time being dimly aware of the boundless, limitless nature of life. So we begin looking for an answer to the puzzle.
Joko Beck
People are always defining and re-defining music. My style of playing has been characterized as smooth jazz and acid jazz. I listen as I play; I’m not caught up in defining the type of music I play.
I did have one bad accident up north near Deerhurst. I was driving back in the winter on these snowy roads, and these two snowmobilers were racing up a hill and they weren’t looking, so they caught me as I was going up the other side of the hill, and they smashed into me.
The second guy always gets caught, and that’s why you have to initiate it instead of retaliating.
I got a nomination for director, which means the world to me; it’s just the most exciting thing for me and my family. You do the good hard work, and the rest of it is something you shouldn’t get too caught up in, but when it happens – boy! I respect it.
When I was learning to creep, my mother set me down on the beach to see what I thought of it. I crawled straight for the coming wave and was just through the wall of green when she caught my heels.

It’s easy for especially NBA players to get caught up in the stress of the job, to get caught up in negativity and in what other people think, and it’s hard, but the best way to live is to keep things simple and enjoy every day.
I’d always have grease in at least two places, in case the umpires would ask me to wipe one off. I never wanted to be caught out there with anything though, it wouldn’t be professional.
Gaylord Perry
There are times I might coach one or two workouts a year when the regular coach gets caught in traffic.
I'm still a little girl in Hawaii, I have the same frie

I’m still a little girl in Hawaii, I have the same friends I had when I was a kid who love me for who I am – not what I do. I never got caught up in the club scene or took wrong roads.
Kiana Tom
Nerds get caught up in minutiae, because there is a tremendous and fulfilling sense of control in understanding every single detail of a thing more than any other living creature.
The phonograph and kinetoscope may some day seize and perpetuate all save the magnetic touch, but that weird, illusive, indefinable yet wonderfully real power by which the orator subdues may never be caught by science or preserved for the cruel dissecting knife of the critic.
David Josiah Brewer
I’m old enough to remember when the polio vaccine was still new. Also, it hadn’t been that long since most people who caught pneumonia died from it. These medical breakthroughs were practically miracles.
Pat Cadigan
When you’re caught up in your career, you’re not thinking about becoming a legend one day or how, 25 years from now, you’ll be immortalized in something or that you might be going into the Hall of Fame.
You pray for days when the crappie fishing is so relentlessly good that you’re giggling like a kid and the only things you’re lacking in life are another stringer and an extra hour on the water. But what do you do with that pile of freshly caught crappies spilling out of your cooler? Call your pals for a mega-fry.
Whoever wants to be caught up in my life, first of all, you should be living yours because I’m damn sure not worried about your life.
The borderlanders are people who are kind of caught in the middle. They think there must be another world out there. There probably is a God, but they are either turned off by the church or wounded by the church or wary of the church for whatever reason.
It’s normal for human beings to identify with their own separate self. The problem is that we get caught in that notion of ourself as a separate individual and caught in that individual self’s agenda.
Boxing? She’s like a woman. If you’ve never wooed her, never won her, you always look back wondering what would have happened had you had her. If you caught her and had a long relationship, you don’t really look back. Do I miss her? No, because I’ve had her, I’ve moved on.
If you subscribe to any online service, whether it be AOL, Google, Yahoo, or the Huffington Post, have you noticed that you are forced to watch a seemingly endless ad before the video story appears about a news item that caught your eye? AOL and the Huffington Post are especially annoying.
The most direct evidence of the wonderful plasticity and elasticity of red corpuscles is obtained when they are watched in a current, where they can be caught against a projecting edge and bent by the pressure of the current flowing past them.
August Krogh
Squid don’t eat jellyfish, but they eat the things that eat the jellyfish. Jellyfishes put on a lightshow to attract a larger predator. It’s caught in the clutches of something like a fish and has no hope for escape unless its lightshow attracts something bigger that will attack their attacker.
In 1995, the Clinton Administration reached an agreement with Cuban government that any refugee caught at sea would be sent back to Cuba while any refugee who reaches the United States shores would be allowed to begin the process to citizenship after one year.
Before I had a son, I used to look at my father’s example: he left me, he left my mother. When I had a son, I got caught in the same situation that his mother don’t want me to see him. I started looking at my father in a different light.
I went to a Christian college. You would be expelled if you were caught in a movie theater. It was ridiculous.
I’m a big people-watcher. I love it. But I feel bad about it, because I always get caught!
Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he’d lie just to keep his hand in.
This is a very superficial job. I sit in a chair for two hours and get hair and makeup done and talk about myself in interviews. That’s a very vain thing to do. And I do get caught up in it sometimes.
Football can change really quickly; you really are king for a day. Once you get caught up with things and think you’ve arrived… you’ve never arrived in football.
Looking back, I can see that the women I loved, at least early on, were status symbols. I suppose, in that sense, I was my mother’s true disciple. She’d taught me that a good man, though elusive, could transform one’s whole life once he was caught.
It’s not just fleet of foot or speed. It’s about who gets caught and gets knocked out.
I recently did the David Letterman Show about my book. He was very serious and made no jokes and it caught me off guard a little bit. He was much more serious than some of the joke shows that journalists get on.
I’m not overconfident. It’s just that I’m not caught up in that. What will be will be. The die is cast. I can’t be anybody but me.
Khrushchev reminds me of the tiger hunter who has picked a place on the wall to hang the tiger’s skin long before he has caught the tiger. This tiger has other ideas.
When I was sixteen I started acting, and I also started to embrace my tradition and culture. I had a young medicine man interpret for me what it is to be an Indian. He really caught me at a good time because I was really vulnerable after the loss of my parents with all of the feelings of abandonment.
Illegal immigrants make a rational choice when they decide to violate our immigration laws. They weigh the costs, including the risks of getting caught, against the benefits of a better life.
Zoos have always fascinated me. What child hasn’t wondered what would happen if all the animals escaped from the zoo? Or what would happen if they got caught in an enclosure?
Matthew Reilly
I was a high school senior and home alone one night with my younger brother. And a guy – gunman – kicked in our front door at our home in New Jersey and held the two of us captive. We escaped. He caught us again. We escaped again. So, a pretty horrific experience.
My first car was an ’84 Ford Taurus. It caught on fire from me trying to change the fuel pump, so that wasn’t good at all. Dried leaves on the ground while I was trying to change the fuel pump. Don’t do that. Do it on concrete.
Too many leaders are so caught up in the momentum of work that they lose sight of the opportunity to connect with people. I discovered that the more fully present I was with other people, the more fully present they were with me, and the more productive our relationship became over time.

Most writers are unhappy with film adaptations of their work, and rightly so. ‘Field of Dreams,’ however, caught the spirit and essence of ‘Shoeless Joe‘ while making the necessary changes to make the work more visual.
W. P. Kinsella
Science was something that really caught my attention. It was something I really could sink my teeth into.
Michael P. Anderson
My books are about ordinary people caught up in extraordinary situations.
Karen Robards
Cinema dominated the Fife coalfield towns. We lived in Lochgelly, but my mum was caught up in Hollywood. She was in love with the style and glamour. Sometimes she would come with me to the cinema in the afternoons, and she would say things like, ‘I wouldn’t mind a peck with Gregory.’
Kenneth Cranham
FYI, there are basically only three things besides a vest that will stop a bullet: a tree trunk, the engine block of a car, and a U.S. mailbox: if you are ever caught in gunfire, find one of those.
I don’t want to paint myself as some villain – I was never a bad guy doing horrible things, but I got too caught up in wanting a very specific thing to happen to the band. Ultimately, I had to find the ability in myself to get over that and stop being so stringent and learn to laugh a little bit more.
The capture, taming, training and keeping of eagles is highly ritualized. Most of the birds, which have a life span of about 40 years, are caught when very young – either snatched from a nest or trapped in a baited net.
My life out of the ring caught up with me.
The town caught fire in several places, shells crashed and burst, and solid shot rained like hail.
James Longstreet
The NBC News people won’t get caught dead on MSNBC.
Ashlee Simpson kicking her dressing room door after getting caught lip-synching – that was interesting to watch.
Starting in my late 20s, I would go on one fishing trip a year to an exotic location. I went to India and caught what was essentially a giant carp. I went to Thailand and got myself arrested as a suspected spy. I went to the Congo and got malaria. But even the bad stuff is material.
I was once making a burger for myself at my boyfriend‘s house and a lyric started pouring out and I had to catch it, so I ran to another room to write it down, but then the kitchen caught fire. His cabinets were charred, and he was furious. But it was worth it for a song.
I just think you can’t get caught up with who’s on the other side. Everybody in the NFL is good. Every team is good.
What is the difference between me and a criminal? My crimes were not caught. Those of us whose crimes were not caught are on this side of the fence while criminals have been condemned on the other side.
We all get so caught up in our day-to-day lives and have so many gripes. But when you see the way others live and how they make the best of it, you’ll realize how lucky you are.
I sometimes feel like I’m caught in a vise. Some people feel like I’m some kind of hero. Others hate me.
I admit that I look at my social media when I’m killing time, like on a plane and such. It’s just less embarrassing getting caught on Twitter than getting caught playing Candy Crush.
Everyone’s gone through a breakup, and I’ve dated girls in the past where… I’ve never had a messy breakup, thankfully, but I’m never the one to end it. I’m always caught off guard as to why things ended because I guess I’m oblivious in a way.
Not living in L.A. gives me a different perspective. I’m not so caught up in the daily process of self-congratulations that’s out there.
I found a book facing out that I’d always meant to read: William Shirer’s ‘The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.’ About a third of the way through, I suddenly, finally caught up to the fact that Shirer had been there in Berlin, from 1934 on, and was finally kicked out when the U.S. entered the war.
It’s a weird thing about the truth: It protects you. What really makes you vulnerable is when you’re lying because you’re going to get caught. When you tell the truth, there’s a strange relief that comes.
It’s freeing to not be caught up in your own personal baggage.
We’re all caught up in circumstances, and we’re all good and evil. When you’re really hungry, for instance, you’ll do anything to survive. I think the most evil thing – well, maybe that’s too strong – but certainly a very evil thing is judgment, the sin of ignorance.
Sometimes I’ve called writing a disease. If so, I’m glad that it caught me.
I never caught on to being a bully.
In Peru, if you gave somebody a little chance to do something, they took it to the furthest extent. They took nothing for granted. And here in L.A., you kind of get caught up in your own little dilemmas and your own little life.
The elaborate sets and the theme of Halloween Havoc as a whole is what I think really caught the attention of the fans. Add in the explosive contests we had every year at the event, and it was definitely the perfect precursor to Starrcade.
If you’re doing something wrong, you deserve to be caught.
I was part of the first generation of girls and women to be educated and go to grammar school even if we didn’t have much money. Then that generation went, ‘OK, great’, and went into medicine or the police, and hit this wall of discrimination from older men who hadn’t caught up.
One of my greatest fears is not being able to change, to be caught in a never-ending cycle of sameness. Growth is so important.

When we made that album with Gary Moore, I was still kind of searching for the right direction for myself. Although the music is quite good the direction was like a box of fireworks that caught light all at the same time.
