In New York, we tip everyone. We tip doormen, we tip cab drivers, and we tip bartenders at the bar. You'll get quite an evil eye if you don't leave a tip at the bar.

Zach Braff

I hate it in America where the protocol seems to be you are expected to tip regardless of the quality of service. I like to tip when it's not being demanded of me, and if the service has been good, I tip quite generously.

Ian Gillan

Sound is ephemeral, fleeting, but some sort of a physical manifestation can help you hold on to it longer in time. I'm sure of this; I've always thought the sound that you make is just the tip of the iceberg, like the person that you see physically is just the tip of the iceberg as well.

If I could give one tip for people, it's not an exercise tip or a nutrition regimen. It's to WALK YOUR TALK and BELIEVE in YOURSELF, because at the end of the day the dumbbell and diet don't get you in shape. It's your accountability to your word.

My songs are always on the tip of my tongue. It's always bubbling and brewing and about to come out. I can't really put it into words, but the best way to explain it is feeling like you constantly have some things on the tip of your tongue.

Bibi Bourelly

They always lost but he didn't blame me because to a gambler, a bad tip is better than no tip at all.

Phil Silvers

Here's a little tip for you. If you don't like being called a murderer, don't kill people.

My mother always taught me a lot of important life lessons, and she would always tell me how important it was to tip. We didn't have much money, so we would tip what we could. Now, it's at the point I'm financially stable. When I'm out eating, I hope I have the cash, but if I write it on the receipt, I'll leave a big tip.
