It was really an exciting time trying to find my way from being a boy to becoming a man?being toe to toe and eye to eye with grown men, even though I was only 11 or 12.

Karch Kiraly

I don't know if I'll ever direct, but producing is dipping my toe into my behind-the-scenes world.

Aya Cash

Grand business plans are all very well, but nothing beats dipping your toe in the water.

Karan Bilimoria, Baron Bilimoria

All that back-story stuff doesn't help. What you get paid for is to stand toe-to-toe with the other actor and get him to do your will.

William H. Macy

I spent the first forty years of my life making major interventions into other people's lives, and I have an idea of the limitations of that method. I see a major event as rather like major surgery. It is a moment, but whether people use it, whether people go with it, needs to be seen.

Standing toe to toe with another fighter, I could probably do well, but a smart fighter is not going to stand toe to toe with me, and they're going to move to a weakness.

Big Show

As an actor, it's exciting to play a role that's so far from what you are and to have people respond to it like a real human being!

James Wolk

In my head, I consider 'No Turning Back' my 'dipping the toe in the water' album. It was mostly covers of favorite songs, and there were three originals in there. So, it feels like it was just my album to see what the temperature of the water was.

Matthew Macfadyen

I'm not interested in scoring points or being over-critical of the US administration. I want to find the entry points to try and get it back on track so that the United States can get out of the present disastrous situation it's in, and back into being a constructive force for human rights in the world.

Mary Robinson

If you have a history of being attracted to people who have failed you in relationships, find people that aren't so exciting and aren't quite so attractive. Try that on for size and see if you can tolerate that.

I painted my toenails before Dennis Rodman. One time at training camp, I stubbed my toe and the nail came loose. My mom gave me some toenail hardener, and I painted over it. I scored 40-something points that night, so it became a ritual. Paint my toenails, score 40 points.

Shaquille O'Neal

When I started tentatively dipping a toe into fat-positive internet spaces, I learned that reclaiming the term was the quickest and most powerful way to make it stop hurting. If you can say, "Yes, I am fat, and it's okay to be fat," then all of a sudden it doesn't hurt when someone says it to you. And it's also just a descriptor. It's like tall.

Lindy West

Writing a really general parser is a major but different undertaking, by far the hardest points being sensitivity to context and resolution of ambiguity.

Graham Nelson

I love being an actor, doing it all. That's not exciting and controversial, but it's true.
