10 QUOTES WITH «SCORES»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word scores.
1
Akon
I love to just go to the movies, watch movies, listen to the scores and all that 'cause that's, like, the next step for me.
2
Darren Aronofsky
Classical scores go up and down; they're kind of hysterical in a way. And movie scores are much more - they just drive and move forward, and they build and can't go up and down at that same speed. It's a big job to turn that into something that pushes the movie along.
3
Richard Bach
Same with anyone who's been flying for years and loves it still... we're part of a world we deeply love. Just as musicians feel about scores and melodies, dancers about the steps and flow of music, so we're one with the principle of flight, the magic of being aloft in the wind!
4
Joe Bastianich
Essentially, wines are fermented grape juice, so I'm trying to make the point that the wine world is about scores and marketing and kind of creating a scarce resource where they don't really exist.
5
Larry Bird
It doesn't matter who scores the points, it's who can get the ball to the scorer.
6
Leo Bogart
The Great Idea in advertising is far more than the sum of the recognition scores, the ratings and all the other superficial indicators of its success; it is in the realm of myth, to which measurements cannot apply.
7
Chadwick Boseman
I'm the kind of guy who comes home and checks scores for everything. I'm a sports fan in general, so I pretty much keep up with who's ahead in a division and everything that's going on.
8
Eric Bristow
All this cuddling and kissing on stage these days, well it's all right in football when someone scores a goal, but not when you're playing darts.
9
Brene Brown
If you think dealing with issues like worthiness and authenticity and vulnerability are not worthwhile because there are more pressing issues, like the bottom line or attendance or standardized test scores, you are sadly, sadly mistaken. It underpins everything.
10
Carter Burwell
John Barry was my hero when I was about 13. His scores to the James Bond movies were the scores of my life back then.
