Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland, we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day.
Tom Hanks

You've got to think about big things while you're doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.
Alvin Toffler

I don't like that, because there are a lot of people whose works I admire as actors or actresses, or musicians. And you know, I've been a big fan of different musicians or actors.
Laura Bush

So many people always try to help me carry my luggage and help me do things I can do myself. If I can do it myself, I'm going to do it myself. I'm not going to let other people do it for me, and I think that's a big part of where I came from. I'm not a real prissy girl.
Carrie Underwood

I also do my own processing, so it means a big commitment in lab time.
Leonard Nimoy

Then as the years went on and my listening became more deliberate, I would climb up on an arm of our big sofa to get my ear closer to the wireless speaker.
Seamus Heaney

There's less critical thinking going on in this country on a Main Street level - forget about the media - than ever before. We've never needed people to think more critically than now, and they've taken a big nap.
Alec Baldwin

I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up. But I'm happy with myself. I'm not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here.

The great and unlooked for discoveries that have taken place of late years have all concurred to lead many men into the opinion that we were touching on a period big with the most important changes.
Thomas Malthus

To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people's views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it's also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do - bad or good.
Barbra Streisand

Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught.
Honore de Balzac

It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it.
Karl Lagerfeld

Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

It's upsetting that it is such a big deal. I wish it weren't an issue all the time. It's funny that people say it's a departure, because I've been acting since I was a child. I've played three gay roles out of hundreds.
Randy Harrison

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.
Kid Rock

You know, when I started I liked Big Macs and Budweiser and I still like Big Macs and Budweiser.
Kid Rock

Like I said, all comedy is based on exaggeration, big or small, whatever you can get away with.
Drew Carey

But I don't want to lose touch with things like eating in Bob's Big Boy.
