Dad told me to stop running in circles, I couldn't, so he nailed down my other foot!
Rodney Dangerfield
Image
Every audition that I walk out of where I think I nailed it, I never get that job, ever.
Sophie Turner

Following Emporer Nero's command, Let the Christians be exterminated!: . . . they [the Christians] were made the subjects of sport they were covered with the hides of wild beasts and worried to death by dogs, or nailed to crosses or set fire to, and when the day waned, burned to serve for the evening lights.
Tacitus
Image
One that always stings is Grow up. And it stings most when you have the suspicion that it is justified, that you have just done somethingchildish and you got nailed for it. It's probably been said to me a few times.
Thomas Haden Church
Image
Stood for his country's glory fast, And nailed her colors to the mast!
Walter Scott

Before Santa and presents and shopping and all the attendant Christmas (stuff) got involved, this holiday was enshrined to commemorate a guy who got nailed to a tree for daring to tell people to be kind to one another. If you have two cloaks, He said, give one away. Remember those who have less than you, be charitable, be good, be merciful.
William Rivers Pitt

I like working in television because it's an evolving story that you tell. That's also one of the things I don't like about it, too. Because sometimes it's hard, and just when I think I've nailed something, it changes or we have to change it or change the joke or the character is evolving in a way that I don't have control over.
Judy Greer

I think what I love most [about writing] is that feeling that you really nailed something. Sometimes with a line you feel that it really captured what it is that you had inside you and you got it out for a stranger to read, someone who may never love you or meet you, but he or she is going to get that experience from that line.
Andre Dubus

I really work. I like feeling that I've nailed it, and we've got the picture.
Kate Moss
Image
Because there could not be peace, not while two tribes shared one land. One tribe must win. Even the nailed god cannot change that truth. And I was a warrior, and in a world at war the warrior must be cruel.
Bernard Cornwell

They probably would've taken Jesus if he hadn't been nailed down.
Kinky Friedman

I'm a fuzzy-headed warm-hearted liberal, and I think fuzzy-headed warm-hearted liberalism is an ideological stance that needs defending-if necessary, with a hob-nailed boot-kick to the bollocks of budding totalitarianism.
Charles Stross
Image
Jesus is a half-naked guy, hanging, nailed to a cross, and then people wear that around their neck, and then those are the people that are upset about violence in movies.
Marilyn Manson
Image
...the other half of rising—the very half that makes rising necessary—is having been nailed to the cross.
Cheryl Strayed
Image
I've come to believe that God, in His wisdom, allows martyrdom in every generation in part because, without them, the reality of Christ's death for us becomes increasingly blurry... As we look at [the martyrs], the mist that sometimes enshrouds first-century Golgotha is burned away, and we see...the Lord nailed to the cross.
Mark Galli

Three weeks ago one of my dreams came true. I finally got to see something I always wanted to witness live. I finally saw someone get hit by a car... Nailed!
Dane Cook
Image
Sometimes you walk out of an audition and you kind of know you nailed it and you're probably going to book it, but you very rarely are told in the room by the people who are hiring you.
Michael Cudlitz
Image
Whatever is not nailed down is mine. This is the motto of the exploiter. Whatever can be pried loose is not nailed down. This is the second maxim in a country where people are rich, caring little in their present prosperity what shall become of the future.
David Starr Jordan
Image
No one leaves the edit room thinking, 'Yeah, I nailed that one!' Everyone I know goes into their first premiere or their first screening thinking, 'I screwed up so bad. I'm sorry, I messed up.' It's just a real common feeling.
Mike Mills
Image
At the cross God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood and let it be nailed to the cross for our redemption.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
What you fear your whole life comes to pass. You end up living toward it, you spend your life running from it but your foot is nailed to the sidewalk. You circle around it until you wear yourself own.
Nick Flynn
Image
I love acting and don't find it to be very hard. I recognize when I've nailed it, and I can be very proud of myself.
Ewan McGregor
Image
If it is not nailed to the floor, it's mine. If I can pry it loose, it is not nailed down.
Oscar Wilde
Image
There are men whom one hates until a certain moment when one sees, through a chink in their armour, the writhing of something nailed down and in torment.
