Nobody ever becomes an expert parent. But I think good parenting is about consistency. It's about being there at big moments, but it's also just the consistency of decision making. And it's routine.
Sebastian Coe

10 QUOTES WITH «NOBODY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word nobody.
1
Gary Ackerman
People more than ever since I can remember are concerned about being out of step and out of line with their political party and won't cross over. There is nobody, man or woman, who wants to be left out, and people are fearful of that. People are fearful of their leadership as well.
2
Dido Armstrong
It's great to go on your own and discover new things just for yourself, to meet new people and all that. If you're all on your own, then there is nobody there to guide you and you have to make all the decisions for yourself. It's quite liberating in a way.
3
Lynn Barber
I have freedom. But freedom means total selfishness. It means nobody cares much what you do.
4
Sara Bareilles
Nobody ever thinks a song is about them. Well, not when it's mean. When it's a good song everybody thinks it's about them. And when it's mean, nobody thinks it's about them.
5
Courtney Barnett
I played in school jazz bands and tried to start rock bands, but nobody was interested.
6
Annette Bening
I've made some movies that I really loved that nobody saw.
7
David Allan Coe
Anybody who goes searching can find enough artistic things I've done that nobody can ever say I sold out.
8
Sebastian Coe
Nobody ever becomes an expert parent. But I think good parenting is about consistency. It's about being there at big moments, but it's also just the consistency of decision making. And it's routine.
9
Cheryl Cole
I can act normally, and I can go out, but people around you don't act normally. If it was normal, I'd go out and have my dinner and nobody would be video-phoning me eating my dinner.
10
Harry Connick, Jr.
You won't talk to anybody who breaks lyrics down more thoroughly. It's just a complete deconstruction, and when you start to rebuild, nobody has the capacity to do it like me. Which is not to say I'm better, it's just that there's a unique quality to everyone.
