That awkward moment when you are sitting next to people who gossip too much that you are even scared of leaving them cause you know that you are next.

With every inch of land on Earth now catalogued by our satellites, the stars are the next place we as a species must travel. And with a booming world population that will hit 9.1 billion in 2050, large-scale space travel may become a necessity.

I’m always interested in trying to stay on the cutting edge of television storytelling. To be slightly in front, pushing for the next new thing.

I never really knew that I would be a lifer of strong female characters, but that seems to be the drops I’m being given, and I’m very happy for them. Hopefully, ‘Divergent’ will be the next thing.

Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find the right road.

Next to being married, a girl likes to be crossed in love a little now and then.

I haven’t been out in the marketplace in a while. I’m thinking about going back into it. I’ve got some things set up over the next couple of months just to go and see. But I have no idea what the specific way to a solution is anymore. It’s mysterious to me.

I could fall in love with a sumo wrestler if he told stories and made me laugh. Obviously, it would be easier if someone was African-American and lived next door and went to the same church. Because then I wouldn’t have to translate.

There’s something about the schedule of working in TV that’s attractive. You know exactly what the next six months is going to be like: You’ll work Monday through Friday and have the weekends off, and then there’s going to be a hiatus here, so you can kind of plan a little bit.

I thought it was a really good contrast to have a really sweet, sincere, church girl sitting next to the church lady who seemed kind of, you know, over the top.

I’m really focusing now on how I can get to the next level as a batsman. How can I get even more competitive? How can I get even more consistent? How can I get better?

Your senses are reeling all the time. Finally you find something to write and the very next day you go out and see something else which totally contradicts what you’ve written and every conclusion you’ve come to.

My first job was a Greek tragedy, and ever since, one job just seemed to roll onto the next. I’ve been terribly lucky.

If you really have your own identity you’ll keep on doing what you think is really right for you, and you’ll also understand the next step you want to take.

Next generations will not know what is to have childhood.

I am kept awake by the list of possibilities for shooting more photos and deciding what I must prioritise next.

I wrote ‘Lakeside View Apartment Suites’ with Roman in my arms. He was about a month old. I was playing left-handed and finally handed him over. On the demo of it, you can hear him crying in the next room.

We are bred to compare ourselves to the next person, to what they have and what they have accomplished.

Then, I realized that there is an indigenous presence in the Solar System. It’s us. So, then, I got to wondering what would happen if a more technologically advanced society moved next door to us, the way we moved next door to the American Indians.

I wouldn’t mind taking a rest for three or four months, but I have to keep on making films for the sake of my crew, who just wait for the next film because they’re not on a fixed salary.

I’m one who demands a lot from people. I’m not afraid to look at alternative ways in city government. That’s what I’ve done in my two years and will continue to do in the next four.

The hardest thing in my industry is longevity, getting your next job. It’s hard to get the first job, but it’s so much harder to get the sixth or seventh as a woman.

You’re never guaranteed about next year. People ask what you think of next season, you have to seize the opportunities when they’re in front of you.

Apple is a wonderful company for its customers and investors. So, too, Pixar. (NeXT, not so much…) But Apple is also an engine of misery for its subcontracted Chinese workers.

A song is only as strong as its foundation, and when it comes so naturally in any setting, those are the songs that will hopefully outlive you, maybe even outlive the next generation of You.

We have a chance to wind down and expedite the removal of 96 percent of the world’s nuclear weapons. What an achievement it would be, if at the end of the next administration, we could say that the nuclear arsenals of both Russia and the United States had been reduced to the barest minimums.

Right after graduation, I married Samuel Fisher Babbitt, an academic administrator. I spent the next ten years in Connecticut, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C., raising our children, Christopher, Tom, and Lucy.

I love everything special or unique. Sometimes I love girly clothes, sometimes I love strong boy looks. You never know what is the next look of Ming.

The next Google or Facebook will come from somewhere other than Silicon Valley.

Those days if you drove cross country and you broke down on the side of the road, and the sign says 200 miles to the next gas station, you knew you were so screwed.

Well, when I was a kid, I grew up in San Diego next to the ocean. The ocean was my friend – my best friend.

Game is bipolar. One day he’s this way, the next day he’s the next.

I think the superstar thing is completely arbitrary. It’s all about who had a movie that did well one weekend. Then, if you have a movie that doesn’t do well the next weekend, then, all of the sudden, you’ve fallen from whatever. So it doesn’t really mean anything for me.

My father was an airline pilot, so we travelled more spontaneously than a lot of families. On a Thursday, we could decide to go somewhere like Barbados the next day for a long weekend.

People would ask me to autograph their bodies and then the next time I’d see them on tour they’d have my autograph tattooed. I decided I wouldn’t write on people anymore, but I’d give them arms and legs and if they wanted those autographed I’d do that.

For me, this world of questions and the provisional, this chase after an answer that was always put off to the next day, all that was euphoric. I lived in the future.

I think the internal combustion engine will disappear from the streets of our cities in the next thirty years because transportation will be mass transportation, or probably electrical power.

These days i tend to use one project I do as a kind of offshoot to the next.

My greatest blessing has been the birth of my son. My next greatest blessing has been my ability to turn people into children of mine.

The 1994 elections that brought Newt Gingrich to power in the House decisively shaped the remaining years of Bill Clinton’s presidency, pushing him further to the right and bringing out his latent tendency to govern every day as if an election were being held the next.

To go to the next level, you have to be special, and I look for those special qualities in those players, those qualities that I think will translate to the NFL.

It’s very weird because the ‘It’ guy usually is not the ‘It’ guy next year or even a guy that anyone is talking about.

What makes Johnny Depp so brilliant is you truly have no idea what kind of character he’s going to play next.

I begin my day online and end my day online. I like to prepare myself for the next day and have a sense of closure before I go to bed.

Looking back across the years, so many pictures flash on the screen of my memory that just as I begin to see one clearly, another slides in, blotting out the first, itself to be pushed aside by the next and the next and the next.

The United States is going to be a rich country, it is going to be prosperous, but it is not going to be able to take the lead in the next phase of global economic development.

Every body type is different – that’s what makes you unique. What makes you special is you, and you are different from the next person.

For me, the writing process is the same as the reading process. I want to know what happens next.

Sometimes when I find myself very irritated about a topic, I know it’s my next book.

I want to be America’s Margaret Thatcher. I will be the next Iron Lady.
