“When I started 70 odd years ago I was told that to be a success you've got to have talent, personality and luck. I've had 99.9 percent luck and the other miniscule percentage would be having had the luck to have a little bit of talent, being able to stand upright and that's it. It's all luck.” YearsLittlesWould BeAbleBitsTalentPersonalityLittle BitPercentYears AgoLuckOddPercentages Author:Roger Moore

“The Bible is forbidding when you start to read it. The language is odd. The stories start and stop herkily-jerkily. The characters behave in inexplicable ways. It takes a little bit of time to get into the rhythm of the book. I found reading the first 15 chapters of Genesis very very difficult. Once I got past there, I loved reading, and found it very easy. When you get used to the Bible, it becomes thrilling to read (like any great book - I just had exactly the same experience with the Odyssey).” WayFirstsLittlesBookCharacterStoriesPastUsedReadingFoundLanguageEasyBitsDifficultLittle BitRhythmOddBehaveChaptersThrillingGenesisGreat BookInexplicableOdyssey Author:David Plotz
“It's a little bit odd. The first time you do the play, you kind of throw yourself into it, trying to get the most out of all the individual moments.

“Being a musician, being a person who's playing tours and making records is a part-time thing for me at age. I did it, I lived it and I breathed it every day of my life for 30-odd years and now I am slowing down a little bit. But it does not mean that I am any less intense and dedicated to the work that I am doing now. I have other priorities in life as well.” YearsWellsMeanLittlesPersonsDoeAgeBitsRecordsLittle BitMusicianPrioritiesIntenseOddDedicatedSlow DownSlowingPart TimePriorities In Life Author:David Gilmour
“Our whole intention was to make a record of songs that we grew up with and change them up a little bit, but we kind of stumbled on writing "Joseph's Lullaby." The irony is when I originally wrote the song, it was called "Mary's Lullaby." I wrote it from Mary's standpoint and it was in a higher key, a real falsetto, and it just wasn't right. One day, the producer's wife said, "Well, it's kind of odd that you're singing from Mary's perspective, being the guy.

“[James Comey] should have gone to the Public Integrity section and said 'What do you folks think.' It's a little bit of an odd situation because he's a former deputy attorney general as well as head of the FBI so he may have trouble keeping on only the investigator hat forgetting that he's a former deputy attorney general. So it's not a good thing, it's a distraction so I think we should just ignore it because there's nothing there so get on with the business of last week of the election.” ThinkingShouldWellsMayLittlesSaidLastsBitsForgetSituationGoneTroubleWeekIntegrityLittle BitShould HaveElectionGood ThingsFolksFormerOddHatsDistractionSectionsFbiAttorneyInvestigatorsDeputies Author:William Weld
