When you're picking up and moving, it does create... well, I can sleep anywhere, which is really useful, it turns out, on movie sets. But what it really does is teach you how to adapt and change and fit into a new group or school, and that really is a lot like turning up to a new movie project and finding your place.

Amy Adams

It's not in the nature of stoic Cincinnatians to boast, which is fortunate, really, for they have meager pickings to boast about.

A. A. Gill

I'm trying to have some longevity in this business. If that means not working for a while and just picking the right job, so be it.

Aaron Paul

When I worked for Planned Parenthood, we had a specific protocol that we had to follow when picking up our abortion doctor. Looking back, I realize how crazy this was, but at the time, I felt like I was a part of some super secret high-level security task force.

Abby Johnson

I'm a good teacher and am great at observation and picking out what's wrong and fixing it.

Abby Lee Miller

Teacher Great Good

I'm, I guess you could say, the Chinese-speaking, banjo-picking girl.

Abigail Washburn

When you're picking a basketball team, you'll take the brother over the guy with the yarmulke. Why? Because you're playing the odds.

Adam Carolla

I swear my car won't run unless I'm picking my nose: At least, I'm that superstitious about it, so I don't want to take any chances.

Adam Carolla

I was definitely more of a movie/cartoon guy than comics, but I really do like graphic novels - I don't have the time to sit down and read Stephen King like I used to, so I find picking up 'Saga' every now and then and just diving back into it is a great way to stay reading.

Adam F. Goldberg

Time Great Car

You eventually get used to looking at girls picking their leotards out of their bums and that sort of stuff.

Adam Garcia

You Vent Used

People come to me and they're like, 'You're hand picking fighters.' I don't pick my fights.

Adrien Broner

You T Picking

Acting is a learning process. And what you are doing in your early films is essentially picking up the nuances, the tricks of your trade. And somewhere along the line, you become analytical and learn to enjoy what you are doing.

Ajith Kumar

Learning Your You

What I remember the most really was just running wild there. Barefooted, swimming in dirty lakes, selling fruit, picking mango trees, hoping not to get caught because they don't take kindly to thieves in Africa.

Akon

Maybe I thought too much about picking up the money and not enough about the really good parts.

Alan Ladd

If someone says to me that 'Horizon' is an anti-feminist anthem, I have to tell them, 'No, that's not right.' But I'm not interested in unpicking my music for people. Everybody has different reference points.

Hedge funds try to produce above-average investment returns using tactics ranging from traditional stock-picking to complex derivative and arbitrage plays. High minimum investments, redemption restrictions and aggressive strategies make them suitable mainly for more sophisticated and well-heeled investors.

Alex Berenson

It was a difficult decision picking Nigeria over England.

Alex Iwobi

T Picking Pick

I'd say we do reach somewhat of a younger audience, but I think for the most part that younger audience is picking our music up from a brother or sister or even parent, who is turning them onto the band.

Alex Lifeson

While I was playing football in the U.S., I learnt to play the guitar, and I'm picking it up again now.

Alex Scott

Yin While Up

I'm not good at picking people up, I'd rather just get to know someone. I'm not an 'opening line' kind of guy; it's not really my scene. But at school, I was good at talking to girls. I wasn't good at making moves, though.

Alex Sharp

Good Us Up

It really wasn't about picking Chicago. I feel like Chicago picked me.

Alex Weisman

T Really Real

It's a bloody shame that all the video stores have gone, I'll tell you. Everything's so mechanical now. It's all so if-you-liked-this-then-you'll-like-this. There's no picking something out, or finding some brilliant person to open up new worlds for you.

Alexandra Cassavetes

I'm addicted to picking my nose. In a world of red tape and bureaucracy, where it takes forever to buy a house or get a cell-phone plan going, it's so instant to just stick your finger up there and go for something your own body produces.

Ali Wong

I quite enjoy getting glammed up and I enjoy picking outfits and things. You have to not really listen to what anyone else says, as long as you feel comfortable, because if you're not, when you're presenting that comes across.

Alice Levine

It's a really hard decision, picking my second single.

Alice Merton

I have nothing but sympathy for the people who are forced to work with me. I'm better now at picking out those that want to play that game with me, and those that don't.

Alton Brown

Anyone nit-picking enough to write a letter of correction to an editor doubtless deserves the error that provoked it.

Alvin Toffler

I could suddenly see the pressures all around; these endless magazines and cheap reality TV programmes poking at women, humiliating us for every flaw. It makes me so angry. I really wonder what it is we are doing to ourselves, because I do think women can be the worst ones for picking each other apart.

Amanda Burton

People have a preconceived notion about who I am and it's interesting. It's like picking who you want to win for the Oscars and not seeing the movie. Before you make a statement about someone, get all the information and see everything before you make a judgment.

Amanda Bynes

When you're picking up and moving, it does create... well, I can sleep anywhere, which is really useful, it turns out, on movie sets. But what it really does is teach you how to adapt and change and fit into a new group or school, and that really is a lot like turning up to a new movie project and finding your place.

Amy Adams

I am conscious about not getting typecast, but obviously I have to keep picking up great roles so that I don't get typecast.

Amy Jackson

I am very conscious about picking my roles and make sure that they are different.

Amy Jackson

I'm getting good exposure because of the movies I'm picking and the people I'm working with.

Amy Jackson

When I'm by myself, I never play music. I have a lot of it, for a girl, but I don't listen to it a lot. I hate picking music out; I'm not good at it.

Amy Sedaris

There are a lot of people who think that's what's needed to be successful is always being right, always being careful, always picking the right path.

Amy Tan

I hate picking a bone with Paul Ryan; he's a friend of mine, but I think he needs to walk and chew gum at the same time.

Ana Navarro

My mom had a produce business in in Oxnard, and we used to take these long trips to talk to farmers and different distributors. She'd take us with her after picking us up from school, and she'd be blasting all this old soul music and R&B. I knew all those O'Jays songs before I knew Snoop or Dre or Tupac.

Anderson Paak

Years later I would hear my father say the divorce had left him dating his children. That still meant picking us up every Sunday for a matinee and, if he had the money, an early dinner somewhere.

Andre Dubus III

I really enjoy picking up the physical rhythm of somebody else, speaking with their voice. I've never done in anything in my own voice, and I can't imagine what that would be like. It would be weird, I guess.

Andrea Riseborough

I'm not a big fan of identity politics and sort of picking one thing and defining yourself with it.

Andreja Pejic

When you become sufficiently expert in the state of the art, you stop picking ideas at random. You are thoughtful in how to select ideas and how to combine ideas. You are thoughtful about when you should be generating many ideas versus pruning down ideas.

Andrew Ng

No one suggested Lehman deserved to be saved. But the argument has been made that the crisis might have been less severe if it had been saved, because Lehman's failure created remarkable uncertainty in the market as investors became confused about the role of the government and whether it was picking winners and losers.

Andrew Ross Sorkin

Anyone who knows me will attest that at any time during the day, you are most likely to find me picking tayberries, 'deadheading' peppermint, or succession-planting shallots. There is almost nothing, really, that I would rather do.

Andrew Weil

Something a lot of people probably don't know is 'Chapter One' did have the idea to make a post-credit scene, which was Beverly Marsh picking up the phone. So, 27 years later, post credit, you would see a phone ringing.

Andy Muschietti

This race is not about me trying to beat John Lewis. It is about carrying the torch and picking up the fight.

Angela Stanton-King

I honestly believe that you have to be able to play the guitar hard if you want to be able to get the whole spectrum of tones out of it. Since I normally play so hard, when I start picking a bit softer my tone changes completely, and that's really useful sometimes for creating a more laid-back feel.

Angus Young

I'm picking and choosing in terms of the stress factor. If it's not fun, I'm not going to do it.

Anita Baker

When you first saw 'The Truman Show,' did anyone else walk around for the next week not picking your nose just in case?

Anna Kendrick

New York City has finally hired women to pick up the garbage, which makes sense to me, since, as I've discovered, a good bit of being a woman consists of picking up garbage.

Anna Quindlen

'Vogue' has a history of picking up on various TV shows that reflect a moment in popular culture, whether it's putting Lena Dunham on the cover or Sarah Jessica Parker.

Anna Wintour

I will respect the limits of my experience but that won't stop me from trying to lead by example of my work. Being a good teammate and picking them up on and off the field is a simple goal of mine.
