I saw Damien Rice in Dublin when I was 13, and that inspired me to want to pursue being a songwriter... I practised relentlessly and started recording my own EPs. At 16, I moved to London and played any gigs I could, selling CDs from my rucksack to fund recording the next, and it snowballed from there.

Ed Sheeran

You've got to try to find ways to dominate in any way - it ain't about getting sacks, it's about making the big plays. If that's pressing the quarterback, making them throw a pick - whatever you've got to do to try to dominate the game.

Aaron Donald

Art You Whatever

As long as somebody is making sacks, I'm happy.

Aaron Donald

Somebody Some Sack

In the end we are all sacked and it's always awful. It is as inevitable as death following life. If you are elevated there comes a day when you are demoted. Even Prime Ministers.

Alan Clark

Life Death You

The brain knows the real secret of seduction, more effective than even music and martinis. Just keep whispering, 'Gee, you are really special' to that sack of water and protein that is a body, and you can get it to do practically anything.

Alison Gopnik

Music Art You

I'd love to work with Joan Cusack again - I'm obsessed with Joan Cusack.

Amanda Peet

Work Love Wit

To be honest, when a manger is sacked, for me it's also the responsibility of the players. We have to take responsibility for it - it's not only the manager and the staff.

Ander Herrera

Anger Age To Be Honest

You see some of these guys that lead in sacks every year, but they only play on third down or only play in certain situations.

Andrew Whitworth

You Year Very

Everyone should get sacked at least once. It forces you to look at yourself... It is important to have setbacks, because that is the reality of life. Perfection doesn't exist.

Anna Wintour

Life Yourself Yours

Christmas Day itself hasn't always been great. My parents went abroad when I was very young, and I went to boarding school. We had a few Christmases before that - I remember a big sack of presents and Mummy cooking goose.

Anne Reid

Great Christmas Young

If the club decides to sack me, honestly, I don't feel this pressure.

Antonio Conte

T Sure Sack

As players, whenever the manager gets the sack, you have to look in the mirror and say it's not always the manager. It's down to the players.

Ashley Cole

Age You Whenever

Oliver Sacks remains my hero to this day. He was one of the first medical writers I read. The other was Lewis Thomas, who is no longer alive but is just heroic to me.

Atul Gawande

Medical Writers Writer

I want to play defense. I want to get sacks.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins

Want T Sack

The majority of the time I live out of a rucksack in some jungle or stuck up some mountain. The luxury tends to be when my wife and children are there.

Ben Fogle

Time Wife Up

My entire life can fit into a knapsack.

Bennett Miller

Life Tire T

We were playing a fair, and a few people were handing me stuffed animals and flowers, but one person handed me a paper sack. So I took all the stuff back to the bus. I put the sack in my lap and opened it, and a live iguana jumped out of the sack and onto my shirt. I screamed like a little girl!

Blake Shelton

Yin Were Us

I remember sneaking a look at films like 'D.C. Cab' and 'Doctor Detroit' when my parents weren't watching. 'One Crazy Summer' with John Cusack was one of my favorites.

Bobby Moynihan

Wit Were Watching

I went in to Reading with the full backing of the chairman, who was great to me, and I got 20 games. Even though it was a three-year project, and I was the guy who knew the club more than anyone, I got the sack after 20 games. Funnily enough, it had just started to pick up, but they lost their patience.

Brendan Rodgers

Patience Great Art

If a chairman sacks the manager he initially appointed, he should go as well.

Brian Clough

Age Well Ted

I think one thing as far as my learning curve and what I'm learning - there is a time to take a sack, and then there is also a time to try to find a way to maybe throw the ball at a receiver's feet.

Brock Osweiler

Time Learning Way

I think it's actually more difficult to come to a club where everything is going great and everyone is happy. When you take over from a guy who has been sacked because things weren't going well, it's more straightforward.

Carlo Ancelotti

The fact that these owners sacked me doesn't mean that our relationship is broken. I still get on well with Florentino, and although I haven't spoken much with Abramovich since I left Chelsea, I have no problem with him.

Carlo Ancelotti

I actually graduated from the Chicago Academy for the Arts. I think John Cusack did as well.

Cecily Strong

'The X-Files' from the beginning was a very visual show, and with Bob Mandel directing the pilot and Dan Sackheim being involved in the production of the pilot and directing the first episode, they brought a visual style to it that was elaborated on by so many good directors.

Chris Carter

When we won the title, I received gifts and cards, bottles of wine, and Champagne. When I was sacked, my house was full.

Claudio Ranieri

During the season... fun, to me, is getting sacks, making tackles and winning games. It's not spending money, girls, or, you know, this and that.

Clay Matthews III

I was actually sacked from my first job. It was at a workshop for a short film this poet had written, about when she used to work in a strip club. After the first week, I was told not to come back.

Daisy Ridley

The third-down sacks are critical ones, 'cause that's getting off the field.

Dan Quinn

The safest course for public officials is simply to throw all of the money in a sack.

Dave Freudenthal

The last thing I'd ever want to see is another manager being sacked. I certainly don't like the phrase 'sacking season.'

David Moyes

Actually, the Department of Transport were at one stage going to sack me.

David Prowse

We got sacked for the first time when we were just 18 and you realise that this whole industry is transient and changeable.

Declan Donnelly

When posh boys are in trouble they sack their servants.

Dennis Skinner

Whenever a fellow coach is sacked it is not good for any of us - it hurts. You just have to accept it because it is part of the game.

Diego Simeone

Some of the cases which have come to light of employers being disciplined or sacked for simply trying to talk about their faith in the workplace I find quite extraordinary. The sanitisation will lead to people of faith excluding themselves from the public space and being excluded.

Dominic Grieve

I see managers with my own eyes walking out of jobs and then walking into jobs, getting sacked and then walking back into another job... yet we can't even get an interview.

Dwight Yorke

No-deal Brexit could be Boris Johnson's biggest deception yet - worse than the Boris bus or the lies that had him sacked as a Times journalist or as a spokesman by the then Tory leader, Michael Howard.

Ed Davey

I saw Damien Rice in Dublin when I was 13, and that inspired me to want to pursue being a songwriter... I practised relentlessly and started recording my own EPs. At 16, I moved to London and played any gigs I could, selling CDs from my rucksack to fund recording the next, and it snowballed from there.

Ed Sheeran

I wrote five issues of that and got the sack. Actually, they paid me for eight, but they changed their minds about the direction and threw three issues out the window.

Eddie Campbell

They asked me to write it and zoomed me over there to do it. But they ended up sacking me.

Eddie Campbell

I knew what kind of actor I was going to be, and I looked for inspiration to people like Alec Guinness, Cyril Cusack, Timothy Spall and Jim Broadbent. I looked at them and thought, 'They play human beings as they really are.'

Eddie Marsan

In management, everything is different. If you look at successful coaches, they always need time to kickstart something. Arrigo Sacchi - when he started the revolution at Milan, he was almost on the brink of being sacked, but then he won, and people started believing in the system; he had more time to breathe.

Edgar Davids

Every Valentine's Day, I pretend I don't care. Like many of us, I say I don't want the flowers or chocolates or a homemade card. How cheesy. I pretend that it's over-the-top to want the person you like to make you a ridiculously nice dinner, or do some showy gesture, ala John Cusack with the boombox in 'Say Anything.'

Elizabeth Flock

If you've just been sacked from work, with no money coming in and a baby to feed, clothe and keep warm, it's unlikely you'll have a thousand pounds or so to spare.

Emily Thornberry

I used to send Tony Romo texts throughout the season just to encourage him, just to wish him luck and just to tell him to get on his offensive line. I hated watching this young man get sacked as much as he did, especially when it came down to big games.

Emmitt Smith

I don't like to see any coach get sacked - not Lopetegui, not the Huesca coach, not the Granada coach, and, of course, not the Barca coach.

Ernesto Valverde

For delightfully quirky descriptions of bizarre neurological syndromes that teach us a lot about how the brain works, there is no match for Oliver Sacks.

Francis Collins

I've said jokes where I thought people might get up and hit me for this. A couple of people have thought about it. But they didn't. It gives you a lot of power, because if you're on shows where people are worried about getting sacked and you're not, then you're transcendent because you say what other people would like to say.

Frankie Boyle

I love getting after that quarterback! That's my deal: sacking the quarterback.

Gaines Adams

I was probably scarred by getting the sack at Middlesbrough.

Gareth Southgate
