Andy Grammer is probably the closest friend I have in the music industry, so touring with him was just incredible. He's such a soulful, kind guy, and he gives great advice. And he also scares me a lot. He does a lot of pranks.

Engaging parents and expecting kids to do much more than they do ... requires cheerleading with a lot of carrot rather than stick. I think Antonio could cheerlead a lot more, but some of his closest advisers are cynical, power-hungry, small-minded advisers.

Fast is the way we like it. Fort Lupton's young, but this is the closest anyone has come to us in a dual this season. It's good to get Drake back; it gives us a good lower half. And the night went pretty much as I expected.

There's more and more pressure on campground owners to sell to developers. It's getting harder to find a campground close by. The closest campground to Tampa is about 10 miles outside of town.

I've been singing with Roomful of Teeth since the beginning in 2009, and it's a really mind-blowingly wonderful vocal ensemble. Very brave and very creative, and they're some of my closest friends.

The satisfying thing is, right now we've put basically 16 games in the loss column between us and the next closest team in our division. When you can do that with 26 games to go, you're in pretty good shape.

The satisfying thing about this game is it puts us 16 games up over our next closest team in the division with 26 to go. That's pretty good.

I've talked to Chandler and Gilbert, and they're the only ones who would have come close (to opening four schools in one school year). The closest they ever came was two (schools), maybe three one time.

I've struggled a lot to get where I am. I initially got rejected by every producer. But no complaints. I enjoyed each and every moment of the struggle. My first break came in 1997 from Krishna Vamsi and then Puri Jagannadh, who is my closest friend. I owe everything I am to him. Our careers have evolved simultaneously.

I've never seen anything like it. I'm not going to say it was a miracle because that's crippled people getting up and walking, the blind seeing. But that's the closest thing to it I've ever seen.

I've played him many times before and that was the best I've ever played him. It's the most points I've ever had against him and the closest I've ever been to him. It just so happened that he's a stronger and more experienced player and he beat me 3-0.

The secondary is a very tight unit. We just have fun out there together, that's what we've decided to do. I think it's one of the closest units on the team.

I wanted 'Southland' to feel immediate, like a ride-along, and to make it the closest thing possible to a cop reality show. We've got real cops out there every day. A lot of times we'll say, 'You guys just do what you normally do and we'll film it.'

So much of this world is based on illusion, temporariness, and disposability that I think it's essential that our closest relationships reflect what is real.

Role-play is extremely important to kids. It's really the closest way the child can truly become their favorite superhero.

Professor Stokes has a more cultured accent, and in many ways, he is the hardest one to do, because he is closest to my own voice.

Personally, I do the best work with people I'm closest with. I know what their tastes are, and they are similar to mine. That close personal relationship is what delivers the best work.

Companies look at the overall level of support they get from their banks, and in return they tend to steer more business to those banks they're closest to. We don't cover every client, but of the ones that we do, we strive to be one of their top relationship banks. That strategy often results in improved league-table performance.

Anyone can become a game show host. It simply requires a giant, narcissistic ego and an inability to do anything else. The closest thing to school I did was looking in the mirror one hundred times a day and repeating, 'People should listen to you talk.'

We still do not have in our hands the answer to a most fundamental question: What makes us human? But this genomic comparison dramatically narrows the search for the key biological differences between the species.

That's where we start (looking). Baton Rouge is the closest major city to New Orleans. Hard to say where this thing is going to take us in the next in few weeks.

This is a time to be with your family and your closest friends, to give thanks for what we have been given.

This is probably the closest group of guys we've had. Trips like this help, because it gets everybody, especially the guys with families, involved. It brings us together. The way our team plays, we should play as well as on the road as we do at home. It's hard to figure out.

This is one of the closest races that we've been in and each game is so important. We've got to come out next weekend and get four points.

This is one of the closest races, and most difficult races, I've even ran.

This is the closest I've been. Even though it's still unclear, the one positive note is that I'm on the map. If I don't make the team, it will be disappointing, but for the first time in my career, I know there'll be a shot during the season.

A lot of things we do are like that. We have a very close team. It's one of the closest teams I've been on. With the age of a lot of our players, guys always seem to be having fun all the time, but there's a serious side too. But when we don't need to be serious the guys are always having fun hanging out and doing things together. I think it's great. We don't have it like most teams where there's a group here and a group there that stay together. We almost always go out together as a team when we're on the road. It's not a segregated team in any way.

They often venture out, go farther than the closest available food resources. But it's a concern that the closest food source won't be available to them this year. They have energy budgets that they don't want to overuse, and if the closest source is in bad shape, they'll have to travel farther to find food.

This poll is significant because it takes the temperature of those closest to the current immigration debate. The survey results are striking and reinforce the call for responsible immigration reform worthy of a nation built by immigrants.

There was virtually no protection from the blast, ... The very flatness of the city center helped seal its destruction. The lack of any warning also contributed: Nobody was in the shelters when the bomb exploded. The whole city was taken by surprise. Only freakish accidents of fate ensured survival. Eizo Nomura was one such survivor, a clerk in the Fuel Distribution and Control Cooperative, a concrete building 100 meters from the hypocenter. Moments before the explosion, he had gone down into the basement to retrieve a document his chief had forgotten. Quite possibly he was the closest man to the hypocenter to survive.

This is the way things are done in the Central League. It was a close call. It is perhaps odd that they would overturn the call of the man closest to the play. But who knows, it might go my way another time.

Absolutely, the closest you can get to it. Man if you ever have a day that you are perfect - it's going to be your best day. It's hard to do. You don't have a lot of days that you are happy with yourself, but at the same time fulfilling your goals is the most important thing you can do.

According to his brother Stanislaus . . . 'Unhappiness was like a vice.' He was cold and distant except with those closest to him, but when, on his mother's death, he discovered a bundle of letters that his father had written to her before they were married, he spent the whole afternoon reading them 'with as little compunction as a doctor or a lawyer . . . puts questions.' When he had finished, Stanislaus asked him: 'Well?' 'Nothing,' James Joyce answered curtly and rather contemptuously. Nothing, thought Stanislaus, for the young poet with a mission, but clearly something for the woman who had kept them all those years of neglect and poverty.

It's the closest contractual race I have ever seen in my time in industry.

It starts with (San Antonio) Churchill. They're the closest things to a super team this region has this year and (San Antonio) Clark has a very solid team so it's going to be hard to contend if we don't play well.

It's kind of the closest thing I'll ever get to as far as a 9-to-5 job, but I have so much fun and I love the people.

The book that is the closest genetically to 'Goon Squad' is 'Look at Me.' It has the futuristic element - although, freakishly, almost every aspect I invented has come to pass in some way, including the terrorist who fantasies about blowing up the World Trade Centre. That was extremely uncomfortable. The book came out on the week of 9/11.

Tamils all over the world have a sense of belonging to the world itself, but our ancient roots come from India. I would like to explore India. I will keep coming back. This is the closest I can get to home.

'Sword and Sworcery' takes you into a world of mystery and music. With sword and shield in hand, the one thing you really need to worry about is getting lost in the vivid pixel artwork.

It's certainly the closest rugby league competition I have ever seen, from first to last - it's been amazing,

It was one of the closest competitions we've had yet. The scoring was very high, and the kids did a great job performing under the pressure of a championship round.

It's tough, Kevin's a determined individual and he liked being The Man. But the thing I have working for me is I am the closest in age to him as any teammate he's ever had and we are good friends. I think the key will be for us to just keep trying to help each other.
