For me, one of my earliest memories of politics where I thought that I could do anything was when Walter Mondale of Minnesota picked Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate. I literally remember what she wore - the red dress, the white pearls. And I saw that, and I thought, 'Anything is possible.'

Amy Klobuchar

I was singing in a mall, and I picked a girl to come up onstage with me. As I was grabbing her hand, I fell off the stage. It felt like I was in the air forever, flying like Superman.

Aaron Carter

Age Yin Wit

I think that is one thing I've picked up: follow a routine, be consistent, and everything is going to fall in place. If you are scrambling around, and you are late for stuff, that adds extra stress, and you have to go out there and hit a 97 mph fastball.

Aaron Judge

You Very Up

I want to work with great directors. I've picked films based on the script or the character and seen them collapse because the directors were not strong visionaries.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Work Great Wit

I just picked up golf, it was good, give me a chance to play golf.

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi

Good Chance Us

Twenty years ago I wanted to move to a nice place so our Charley would grow up a nice boy and learn a profession. But instead we live in a jungle, so he can only be a wild animal. D'you think I picked the East Side like Columbus picked America?

Abraham Polonsky

You Years Ago Years

I had 'Breaking In' at Fox, and that was a constant stopping and starting of getting canceled and picked up again.

Adam F. Goldberg

Art Up Top

I had done another show called 'United States of Cars,' which was a pilot that didn't get picked up. And they said, 'You know, we're doing 'Top Gear,' and would you like to meet the guys?' It was the wild - most wild audition I ever had because I never went to a studio or a producer's office.

Adam Ferrara

Car You Would

The cast of 'Lemonade Mouth' was picked so perfectly. A lot of people see us as a band on camera, but not a lot of people know that Lemonade Mouth was a band off-camera, too.

Adam Hicks

Us Too T

I think there's a tendency to think geeks and nerds are just sweet guys that were picked on, but that hasn't been my experience. I'm certainly not like that, in a lot of ways.

Adam McKay

Experience Were Ways

You want to buy cars and houses and castles, all of that's on you and how America has systematized your mind to be into materialism. Hip-hop ain't got nothing to do with that. I'm glad that anybody making money has picked themselves up - I just want them to give some of it back to the community.

Afrika Bambaataa

Money Car Your

I've never had formal drama-school training; I've just picked things up as I've gone along.

Agyness Deyn

Us Up Training

I picked books by their covers - the worse the cover, the more I wanted to read it.

Ahmet Zappa

Worse Wanted Want

For me, it's about moderation and discipline, and that's something I picked up from my dad. I don't believe in rigorous workouts but believe in eating right, going to bed early, and getting a proper workout.

Akkineni Nagarjuna

Work Workouts Workout

Early in my career, I got roles that demanded that I be fit to carry off the angry young man look. Of course, I'm a fitness freak, and that's something I picked up from my dad.

Akkineni Nagarjuna

Fitness Car Young Man

Reading is as much a part of life as any part, and it's life itself. And it allows us to live other lives that we might not have lived if we hadn't picked up those books.

Alan Cheuse

Life Art Us

For some reason I've been labeled that and it's fine, but there are a lot of other artists that sing real traditional stuff, so I don't know why they picked me. That's what I've always done.

Alan Jackson

Art Why Ways

I picked up the Puerto Rican accent from my father, and my sister picked up my mother's very clear, concise, and slow Mexican-Spanish. So, when she does speak, she speaks with diction. She pronounces every word.

Alanna Ubach

Word Wit Very

You're there to score runs. If you don't do that over a period of time, people will look elsewhere. That hasn't changed and that'll never change, whether it's myself or Jimmy Anderson, you've got to play to a certain level to be picked for England or even Essex.

Alastair Cook

Time Change You

I've picked up a few scars during games.

Aleksandar Mitrovic

Car Up Scars

My mother wanted my sister and me to live a normal life. I always picked friends who weren't impressed with my family ties.

Alessandra Mussolini

Life Family Wit

I first picked up a guitar when I was ten years old; my parents surprised me with it for my tenth birthday. I started taking lessons when I was thirteen, but only for a few months, and then I just kept teaching myself.

Alessia Cara

I bent my head over a stove in my early 20s and picked it up in my 30s.

Alex Guarnaschelli

From Under 15s to Under 19s, I was concentrating playing for England, it was close to me, I could just go to St George's Park, it was nice. Going back to school when you've just played for England, it was amazing, you're one of the best players in the country, that's why you're getting picked.

Alex Iwobi

To be picked for your country at any stage is a massive honour, and to be at a huge tournament likes the Euros is such a bonus.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

I'm forever a Pittsburgh Pirates fan. Apparently I've picked the worst baseball team in the world.

Alex Pettyfer

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

Alex Weisman

There will always be someone being picked on at school, and it's not going to go away.

Alexa Vega

My knowledge of electrical subjects was not acquired in a methodical manner but was picked up from such books as I could get hold of and from such experiments as I could make with my own hands.

Alexander Graham Bell

I always feel with a vintage shop they've picked the best bits to show you whereas with charity shops you can find a real gem. My mum is amazing at it, she has hawk eyes, so I go with her and follow her lead!

Alice Levine

My mother was very strong. Once, she picked up a coconut and smashed it against my father's head. It taught me about women defending themselves and not collapsing in a heap.

Alice Walker

It's easier to get an actor when you just ask them to do a day on something rather than have them come in, audition, get picked.

Allison Jones

I cannot wait until the day I can go back to school... I've already picked my program: anthropology at Columbia. I will not get in, but a girl can dream.

Allison Williams

I gather from a lawyer that there was a rehearsal yesterday. We haven't a hope. I know the presiding judge too: I've had the misfortune to sleep with his wife. He was specially picked.

Alphonse Karr

I'm a filmmaker who decided to go to culinary school. All I picked up was the fact if I didn't understand what was going on with every single ingredient, I could be qualifying for, like, the lunch food job at my daughter's school.

Alton Brown

I was in 'Jacques Brel' Off-Broadway for many years, so I've always been a singing actress, but the songwriting was a complete surprise. I had never written a song in my life. We were on the road with 'Jacques Brel' doing the national tour, and I picked up a guitar one day and I wrote a song.

Amanda McBroom

When my hair is picked out, my whole aura is picked out, like, 'See this, see me.'

Amanda Seales

I never really wanted to be a writer. I know it sounds strange, but I honestly believe that I didn't pick the story; the story has picked me. I've written absolutely no fiction before 'The Immortals of Meluha.' Not even a short story in school - absolutely nothing.

Amish Tripathi

For me, one of my earliest memories of politics where I thought that I could do anything was when Walter Mondale of Minnesota picked Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate. I literally remember what she wore - the red dress, the white pearls. And I saw that, and I thought, 'Anything is possible.'

Amy Klobuchar

When I came back to Mumbai after boarding school, I was 16 and I picked up weight training and yoga. This is when I also started dance classes and Pilates and then I started doing different workouts every month. I am now proficient in kick boxing, gymnastics, classical dance as well as yoga.

Amyra Dastur

My younger brother Avishai was my first influence. He picked up the trumpet, and I listened to him. The way he played - with the half valves and the smears - made me want to play like him.

Anat Cohen

I've heard that George Clooney did something like nine pilots before 'ER' was picked up, way back when he was doing TV. It's just the way the business works. There are a lot of pilots that we've never seen. It's protocol.

Andie MacDowell

My style was established in the Forties and Fifties, then got dragged through the decades and picked up a couple more things on the way.

Andra Day

My game has really picked up in the NBA.

Andre Iguodala

I first picked up a violin aged five - I just assumed everyone played.

Andre Rieu

After so many years, I feel more American than anything else, but I'm also Romanian and whatever other oddities of temperament I picked up elsewhere, in Transylvania or France, for instance. These days, everybody is both an exile and a resident - they don't call it the global village for nothing.

Andrei Codrescu

Since I first picked up the violin, I've been very interested in tone and texture: I would have very visceral reactions to the texture of a snare drum or a pedal steel guitar or a violin.

Andrew Bird

I grew up a skinny Asian kid who was often ignored or picked on. It stuck with me and branded my soul. As I grew up, I tried to stick up for whoever seemed excluded or marginalized.

Andrew Yang

Don't ripen picked tomatoes in the sun. Put underripe tomatoes and stone fruits in a paper bag in cool, dark place, and magic happens. And never, ever store them in the fridge: they turn mushy and flavorless.

Andrew Zimmern

You pick your destiny or maybe destiny picks you. But it picked me to box, definitely.

Andy Ruiz Jr.

If you're in a motion-capture studio, you have spherical, reflective markers, which are picked up by cameras that emit infrared - it reflects it, and then the cameras pick up the data.

Andy Serkis
