3 QUOTES WITH «CREASE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word crease.

1

Brooklyn Decker

When you have a gown, there's much more to be concerned about. Where is this crease falling? Are you making a weird shape with the dress? Are you doing the designer justice? With a bathing suit, it's more about you and the mood you convey.

2

Harbhajan Singh

I think cricket is there in Usain Bolt's blood. Since I got to watch from close quarters, it was amazing to see him run up to bowl. The perfect delivery stride is understandable because he is a world champion athlete. But the manner - he loaded at the crease and then bowled the ball - left me zapped. He looked like a natural cricketer.

3

Sly Stone

Stand, you've been sitting much too long, there's a permanent crease in your right or wrong.
