I`ve always thought of him [Barack Obama] and from conversations know him to be a guy who takes the long view, who doesn`t get too high, doesn`t get too low and seizes the opportunities when they`re there and knows how to ride the wave. I ascribe that to Hawaii. He`s a body surfer, so he knows how to get on the wave. He knows just the right time.

Howard Fineman

People always say, "Can writing be taught?" I always think, I can teach you how to write a better sentence, how to do dialogue, how to do character, but I can't teach you how to be a decent person, and I can't teach you how to have something to say.

Ann Patchett

You know how you wave your hands when you say good-bye? We want to get so big that people use the kitsune sign instead!

Yui Mizuno

You've just got to ride the wave of the season and ride the wave of life. You can't get too high and too low.

Khalil Mack

The fun-seekers, I noted, were spontaneous and flexible. They approached each day and each situation with a willingness to ride whatever wave came along, just for the experience of it. The complainers, on the other hand, would only catch a wave if it was exactly to their liking. Anything else drew loud protestations about how it was not what they expected.

Nearly everyone is aware of dramatic changes in the world. Yet we continue to live in the assumption that we can ride out the changes without changing ourselves, coasting, as we have always coasted, on the historic wave of human development. What it will take to wake us up is a wave of equal size traveling in the opposite direction. That wave is already on its way.

When you're working a three-hour gig, how do you know when to climax? You just watch the crowd and ride the wave. If they're not feeling a song, you move on.

Alexandra Richards

Looking back, I've learned the most from the bad coaches, really, how not to act, how not to coach, how not to treat people. So I always say no matter what situations you're faced with, how bad it is, you can always walk away and learn. You can always rise above it.

Jennie Finch

A Big Wave is like a Beautiful Woman.....exciting to look at and thrilling to ride.

Buzzy Trent

I had to learn very quickly how to perform, how to act, how to look, to always say what I wanted to say in my songs.

Leo Sayer

I always say that when I see that needle start to go in the other direction, when people have had enough of me, I'm going to be smart enough to say goodbye. It's such a joyous ride to be on top, and it takes away from that ride if you sort of ride it down.
