Now it's time to play a brand new game called Name That Barcode. Here's the first one: "Thick black, thin white, thick black, thick white, thick black, thin white." OK who's going to identify that?

Humphrey Lyttelton

In the performing arts you have to have thick, thick, thick skin, because of all the rejection you face on a daily basis, and the fact that work never lasts for very long. But you need thin, thin, thin skin in order to access all of your emotions and your creativity so that you can express it. You can't be dead inside. Otherwise you've got nothing to give. So it's a paradox, that we have to exist in both planes in order to do what we do.

Audra McDonald

Beware not to get caught up in the thick of thin things.

Neal A. Maxwell

Your nerve coatings are only so thick. When they get worn really thin and frayed, that's when people say things, do things, misbehave.

Don Felder

We fritter away our energy and creativity . . . we get bogged down in the thick of thin things.

Henry David Thoreau

Fat men get knocked over by buses no earlier, nor later, than thin men. And I, for one, have buried most of my thin friends.

Robert Morley

It's so easy to get caught up in the thick of thin things. So seductive to spend your finest hours climbing mountains that, at the end, turn out to be the wrong ones.

Robin S. Sharma

Where I came from with the Twins, they were passionate about baseball. Through thick and thin, it was, 'Let's go.' It's something I have to get used to. I'm blocking it out as much as I can.

Jacque Jones

You have to have a thin skin. As a creative person, you have to. You can't get a thick skin.

Emma Stone

I think it's so important to be healthy and confident and natural. And not put too much stress on trying to be thin - I don't get the thin, thin thing at all.

Lily James

The tackles are coming in thick and thin now.

Alan Brazil

When the darkness rolls in, I'll be there through thick and thin.

Hilary Duff

We become so caught up in the busyness of our lives. Were we to step back, however, and take a good look at what we’re doing, we may find that we have immersed ourselves in the “thick of thin things.” In other words, too often we spend most of our time taking care of the things which do not really matter much at all in the grand scheme of things, neglecting those more important causes.
