For over a year I continued to submit mss, and have them rejected - the last few with rejection letters indicated the story was pretty good, but I was American.
Nora Roberts

I played, like, a year of piano until I learned the Pink Panther theme. That was my goal. Once I was good enough, I quit. Now my music has to have some rock.
Jack Black

I was taught to think the next week or month or year will only get better than it is today. So I just keep waiting to see hoe great it will get!
Stevie Ray Vaughan

The way I play, I go through a set in a year. So I put '58 Gibson Jumbo Bass frets on all my necks.
Stevie Ray Vaughan

Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldn't get more consistent than this year.
Roger Federer

But so far I have the feeling that the chances are there to repeat last year's season.
Roger Federer

I was number one in the ratings four times last year and twice this season. What could be more damn equal than that? If they get any more equal, I don't want it.
Flip Wilson

Buonaparte has often made his boast that our fleet would be worn out by keeping the sea and that his was kept in order and increasing by staying in port; but know he finds, I fancy, if Emperors hear the truth, that his fleet suffers more in a night than ours in one year.
Horatio Nelson

We did something this year that was not based on animosity.
Nikki Sixx

I had not taken a bath in a year nor changed my clothes or removed them except to stick a needle every hour in the fibrous grey wooden flesh of heroin addiction. I did absolutely nothing.
William S. Burroughs

My rookie year, I was very immature.
Dennis Rodman

All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives.
Steven Spielberg

Today's Little Leaguers, and there are millions of them each year, pick up how to hit and throw and field just by watching games on TV. By the time they're out of high school, the good ones are almost ready to play professional ball.
Mickey Mantle

To have the kind of year you want to have, something has to happen that you can't explain why it happened. Something has to happen that you can't coach.
Bobby Bowden

You feel quite distant by playing at huge stadiums year after year, where you only can see a great darkness in front of you.
Robert Plant

What makes all doctrines plain and clear? About two hundred pounds a year. And that which was proved true before, prove false again? Two hundred more.
Samuel Johnson

I think going to college for that one year was probable the best thing I have ever done.
Carmelo Anthony

I'm 65 and I guess that puts me in with the geriatrics. But if there were fifteen months in every year, I'd only be 48. That's the trouble with us. We number everything. Take women, for example. I think they deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of 28 and 40.
James Thurber

As far as talent goes, we had pretty much everything, and I think that's why this year was so successful.
Carrie Underwood

We won the European Championship last September and now the world title. That is some year for French beach soccer! Now comes the hard part. We have to keep improving and that's difficult because it's tough to do better than winning a world title.
