I`ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I`ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I`ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I`ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Michael Jordan
I came to New York to be a legend, and within five minutes of realizing I was an interesting kid and other people thought so, I had given myself a nervous breakdown. I was 26 years old before I knew what it was like to have an ordinary day.
Vincent Gallo
[on raising his daughter] Girls are complicated. The instruction manual that comes with girls is 800 pages, with chapters 14, 19, 26 and 32 missing, and it`s badly translated, hard to figure out.
Hugh Laurie
Richard is 30, and I`m 26. But the letters we got when we said we weren`t virgins, read as though we had committed a crime. People must have been dumb to have believed that we were that good.
Karen Carpenter
The Cultural Revolution was a very special period of Chinese history, unique in the world. It was part of my youth. It happened between when I was 16 and when I was 26. During those 10 years, I witnessed so many terrible and tragic things. For many years,...
Yimou Zhang
(About auditioning for Fame and Fortune) "You have to think you`ll be one of the ones who makes it." (From Education Weekly, January 26, 1983--when he was a student of drama at the New York High School for the Performing Arts.)
Ron Eldard
I am going to cry because this show has been as long as my career! I have wondered for 26 years what this would feel like! Thank you for terminating the suspense. (On accepting her Oscar in 1983]
I`m not unaware of how I`m perceived, I just don`t care ...
Shirley MacLaine
I don`t necessarily think 26-year-old white guys are that interesting. So why would I want to make another movie about their coffee shops and romantic pratfalls?
David Gordon Green
[during a concert in Brisbane, Australia 2005] It`s been 26 years since I was last here. Before my fans were all taking drugs; this time they`re all taking medication!
Bette Midler
What they told us about `The Next Generation` when we first started was that we were guaranteed 26 episodes, so that was the longest job I`ve ever had. And that was basically it - we didn`t know what the premise of the show was going to be and we waited, ...
Marina Sirtis
(On his career) "As an actor, I`ve always wanted to do characters that would help me find my connection with others and connect all of us together. You always want the energy of the character, the spirit of the person, to enter you. I`ve been doing this f...
Forest Whitaker
Am I Orson Welles? Obviously not. But 50 years from now, who knows how, as a person, I`ll have grown. I`ve already changed, from being a 26-year-old kid to a 38-year-old guy - I`m not a man yet, really. But as I get older, who knows how my experiences and...
Brett Ratner
I don`t want to spit in the eye of good fortune, but it was weird. I felt like I`d butted in line in front of Lucille Ball, Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn. Hello? How did this happen? I was only the sixth woman to receive it, but they found 26 men to g...
Meryl Streep
_AVP: Alien Vs. Predator (2004)_ is not trying to be Alien (1979) or Aliens (1986), and it`s not trying to be Predator (1987). Those are genius movies. The impact that these creatures had on audiences was immense. But 26 years on, and dozens of comic book...
Paul W. S. Anderson
Macon is my home. When I was growing up, it was pretty small. Now, it`s the second-largest city in Georgia. But being Georgia, that`s not really too large. - Soap Opera Digest, Aug. 26, 2003.
Natalia Livingston
Clara Bow`s an interesting actress because back then she was real honest. She was this Brooklyn girl who didn`t have a whole lot of class, she`d come right out and say what she wanted. And she ended up leaving Hollywood when she was 26 because all of that...
Sherilyn Fenn
Years go by and people are together, but there was an individual there for 26 years, or whatever, who was absolutely fine, coping without you.
Andrea Corr
When I went to Philadelphia I was 26 years old and really sitting on top of the world. Family life, a professional career, plenty of friends and associates, and a good reputation, a wish list that could be the envy of many.
Julius Erving
When I sent those scripts, that was the lowest point of my life. We`d just had our second son, and when I went to collect them from hospital, I went to the bank to try and get some money to buy some diapers, the screen showed I`ve got $26 left.
Ang Lee
We should be proud of liberating the 26 million people in Iraq and should remember that this is why it is important to stick it out to it`s successful conclusion.
