86

Jon Beason
99
I think, beforeWatchmen,’ I was the guy from ‘Grey‘s Anatomy‘ who’s a pretty good guy, a pretty charming sweet guy, and so as an actor, I really wanted to do something as far from that as I could.
100
Living in my parents’ house is pretty sweet. It’s not like they’re rich or anything, but they’re pretty nice to me, so it was pretty good living there, too, and all I did was jujitsu. I was just like a stallion, just living on my parents’ couch. It wasn’t terrible.
101
Over the years, I have developed a pretty good Rolodex.

Bonnie Blair
103
I think I proved what I always believed. That I’m pretty good.
104
When my dad retired, he moved to Georgia, but I stayed in California. I was in San Francisco: that’s where I first went from being a musician to making beats and producing. I was 18, 19.

114
I started in the mailroom, literally, as an intern… in 1974. The legislator I was working for at the time said, ‘I want you to get your law degree and come back here and get elected and be the first woman governor.’ I kind of took that guy seriously – I thought that sounded like a pretty good idea.
115
Alberto Del Rio is doing a pretty good job.
116

William Mapother
120
I used to arm wrestle my roommate in college. Based on that, I’m in pretty good shape.

122

129
Usually, there’s nothing being thrown toward the stage or at me. Then I feel pretty good about it.

Where I am right now I’m pretty good at. You know, I understand that there’s a problem. I’m addressing it. I’m doing the work that I have to do.
Daniel Baldwin

134
I know I have pretty good instincts.
135
Yeah, my son likes a lot of guitar bands. He gave me something the other day which was really good. He’ll burn a CD for me full of things that he has, so he’s a pretty good call if I want to check some of that stuff out… The other two aren’t quite into that yet.
136
There’s such an odd, eclectic group of people that make up the town of Plymouth, New Hampshire. I don’t think I could avoid not coming out of there with a pretty good sense of humor.

Spencer Johnson
140
I’m a great bum, and I’m a pretty good director.
141

142
In New Orleans, where I’m from, the average household income, with two working parents, two kids, a dog and a little fence is $16,000 a year, so $15,000 for a movie sounds pretty good.
143
I read ‘Twilight‘ when I was overseas. I actually liked it. I didn’t expect to, because I generally don’t like fantasy like that because it’s far-fetched, but I liked it. It’s pretty good.
144

147

148
From the strength involved, the jumping, to body positioning and control, there are similarities. Playing basketball at a pretty good high school level, in a state where there were strong programs, definitely helped make me a better tight end.
149
I remember, when I was growing up in Baltimore, we’d get on a streetcar and go down to see the Orioles, and for a couple of bucks, you could get a pretty good seat. Kids can’t do that anymore. So I think that changes the whole nature of sports.
150
I’m not like a 90-mph fastball kind of guy, but I can hit 70 on radar gun. I hit 70 one time on a radar guy at one of those pitch-and-throw kind of things. I have a pretty good arm for somebody who’s not a baseball player.
151
In the university library, we know when a book has been used in a class or put on reserve… or while it was out, did somebody call it back in. It turns out to be a pretty good indicator of how relevant the work is at that time.
David Weinberger
152
I have a job I’m pretty good at. I am in charge of things. I am on committees. People respect me and take my counsel. I want to be strong and professional, but I resent how hard I have to work to be taken seriously, to receive a fraction of the consideration I might otherwise receive.
153
I was a pretty good imitator of Roy Acuff, but then I found out they already had a Roy Acuff, so I started singin’ like myself.

156
I think I’m pretty good at pressuring the ball, forcing turnovers.
157

158
I did an imitation of him to make the crew laugh. To my shock, there was Cary Grant behind me. He got very angry. I was sent all the way from RKO to David Selznick’s office and was told not to do it anymore. I thought to myself, ‘I must have been pretty good to make him that angry.’

Rafael van der Vaart
163
Look, when I look back, from 20 onwards, I was actually having a pretty good time, I have to say.
164
I think my one-on-one defense is pretty good.
165
About four days a week, I do pretty good at having a morning prayer time. But even at that, it’s a rambling sort of thing. What I have learned to do better is to try to keep my mind turned toward God and ear inclined toward God throughout the day, and I think I’m doing better at that, but I’ve got a long way to go.
166
I consider myself a pretty good conversationalist, but you wind up being downgraded to idiot status when you don’t speak the language!

Breaux Greer
168
My dad was a football player – a soccer player – for Manchester United, and I loved playing football, but I also happened to be the guy in class who was pretty good at sight reading. My teacher gave me scripts, and I was very comfortable.

There’s a pretty good chance that you’re going to go down when you’re on a motorcycle or if you’re sky diving or whatever, but that happened before I even got this job, and I haven‘t sky dived since.
170
In a personal context, I’m not in the ground, and I’m not in an institution. So I guess I’m doing pretty good.
171
It’s all well and good telling people to buy more expensive food but the idea of cheap, mass-produced food and nobody starving is pretty good.
172
Two of my sons are themselves filmmakers, and we can’t afford them nor they us. They work in the real world and earn money and are pretty good at it.
173
When you like something and you’re pretty good at it and you can make a living doing it, you don’t ask why. You just count your blessings and go with it.
174
I mean, I’m pretty good in real life, but sometimes people seem surprised that I’m like a normal teenager and wear black nail polish and I’m just a little bit more edgy than the person I play on television.
175
I’m pretty good at surprising friends and family with gifts. I tend to go towards the more sentimental side of giving.
176
I just love fighting. I know I’m not the best, but I’m still pretty good, there’s a lot of people I can still beat. What do you do. What else am I supposed to do? I have no other skills. I enjoy doing this. There’s nothing I’d really rather do, you know?
177
When you’re headlining, people are paying to come see you specifically. It’s a different kind of pressure, because you’ve got to deliver. You’ve got to give these people what they paid for. It’s a different mind state, a different type of mentality, but it’s honestly a pretty good problem to have, you know?
178
If you are a black person growing up in America, chances are pretty good that you have experienced the police pulling you over in front of your mother‘s house because you ‘had a headlight out.’
179
I think I’m okay; I got a pretty good shot when I concentrate. I like pool.
180
The weird thing about my relationship with Reince is we were pretty good friends when I was a political donor writing checks to the RNC. But once I was about to enter the administration, for whatever reason, it was a little more adversarial.
181
The striker role, together with someone else, is pretty good for me.
182
I’m pretty good with being calculated in what I do, when I’m going to make my mark on somebody.
183
I do genuinely believe that young people who play sport at a competitive level, sensibly controlled, sensibly organised, that has to be a good thing. It will teach them to win, it will teach them to lose with dignity and magnanimity – all the things you want. It’s a pretty good metaphor for life.
184
When I’m disciplined with my drop and my footwork, I usually throw it pretty good. And when I’m a little bit off, or a little careless in that manner and not dead on to where I’m supposed to be, I’m not as good. So that’s one thing – just being disciplined in my drops and my footwork.
185
I love adversity. It really reveals people, and I think I’ve handled it pretty good.
186
You acquire certain tastes. And if your taste happens to coincide with the majority of people, then you’re in pretty good shape. But you’re not always right. There were times when I stubbed my toe, and some will end up being on my tombstone – like ‘Supertrain.’
Fred Silverman
187
As a wing back, when you get the ball wide, you usually don’t have any help out wide. You have to be pretty good on your own out there.
188
Ultimately I’m the writer for me, but also, anytime one of my friends gets stuck with a bit, they can call me, and I’m pretty good at helping them get there.
189
I figure anything over 13 weeks in this business is pretty good.
Wink Martindale
190
I’m a pretty good snowboarder but a terrible surfer.
191
I have a pretty good grip on who I am.
192
Our brains are way, way more complex than any computer we know how to make. They’re way more creative. The input‘s pretty good, but the output is constrained by our tongues and jaws moving and us typing.
193
There was a period in my life when I was trying to write standards: songs that everybody recorded. I did a pretty good run of it.
194
I’m usually pretty good about meeting people. I try to remember they are human, too!
195
But I got an audience that knows what I do. They usually show up, so I usually do pretty good.
196
We’ve grown from 18% of the profits of the top 25 companies in our industry to 23% of the profits of the top 25 companies in our industry over the last five years. Profits are up over 70%, where the industry profit is up about 35%. Pretty good.
197
I do a pretty good job at casting actually.
198
When you have players that are willing to do anything to win, usually the results are pretty good.
199
Illusion‘ is a story of God’s love and our hunger to find him when we’re separated from him. If I can paint a picture of two people still in love after 40 years, that’s a pretty good message.
200
I never had any classes or went to theatre school like a lot of actors, so all of my training has been on stage with different directors. That was a pretty good school room.
201
I can be a binger when it comes to information, but most of the time, I’m pretty good, and I try to focus on my own life and personal communication.
202
If you make a certain type of statement, you can make a pretty good prediction of how George Steinbrenner will react.
203
I look for something unique, and I look for people who haven’t reached their potential. I think I’m pretty good at developing talent.
204
I’m a pretty good winner. I’m a terrible loser. And I rub it in pretty good when I win.
205
By the end of my first year at the Dogs, we’d won the competition, and I’d played some pretty good footy.
206
I grew up speaking Spanish and English. My mother can speak Spanish, English, French and Italian, and she’s pretty good at faking Portuguese. I wish that I spoke more languages than I do.
Sebastian Arcelus
207
I’m pretty good at getting things out of the way, especially paperwork. I hate it sitting about, as it somehow weighs me down.
208
She seems to be having a pretty good time despite her worrying. That’s Lily.
Dashiell Hammett
209
I’m pretty good at golf and I enjoy trying to get better and learning without the stress on your body, without having to be in incredible physical shape.
210
I have a rebellious teenage thing. If my mom says I can’t do it, I’m gonna do it. But I’m pretty good. That’s why it was fun to play Sam in ‘The Bling Ring.’ I got to be someone crazy and wild to the extreme, then go home and relax and get rid of the burden.
Taissa Farmiga
211
They’re pretty good actually, Hall & Oates. I gotta give them credit. They got a lot of toe-tappers.
212
If only we’d stop trying to be happy we’d have a pretty good time.
213
There’s feelings there, but I think I’ve just been pretty good at trying to hide my emotions throughout the years. I try to have the same demeanor each and every day.
214
Obviously you can make a pretty good living these days as a crew member or a crew chief or as a driver. But the technology is expensive.
215
I’d really like to think Picard and Q are each other’s Jekyll and Hyde. That’s an interesting way to look at their relationship, and it gives you a pretty good idea of who Q is.
216
I’m about a 160, 170 bowler so I feel like I’m pretty good – I’m average, but I don’t stink, you know?
217
I am 58. That is pretty old, for God’s sake. I look pretty good for my age, and I am enjoying that.
218
I’m pretty good at remaining calm during an emergency. My house burned down when I was 12, which made me really pragmatic about what needed to be done. But I can be bad in that I compartmentalize a lot of emotions and push them away to deal with them at a later date.
219
What people don’t know about me is that I’m a pretty good businesswoman. Yes, I do this little ol’ game show, but I know the show isn’t going to last forever, so I’ve gone into different ventures. But I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging.
220
Mornin’ ladies, my goodness don’t you look happy. Must be cuttin’ somebody up pretty good.
Andy Griffith
221
But you know, I have a pretty good relationship with the press and the paparazzi. It’s just when they step over the line that, you know, enough’s enough.
222
A whole bunch of agents and editors looked at my stories, and they all said, in effect, ‘You’re a pretty good writer and you should probably get these published; when you grow up and write a novel, get in touch.’
Bob Shacochis
223
As a Western, ‘The Magnificent Seven’ was a pretty good film. I don’t think it was as interesting or as multi-faceted as ‘Seven Samurai.’
224
Colors‘ is pretty good. It takes you inside the cop car bit. I like reality myself. I like reality-based kind of movies.
David Ayer
225
TV companies always eat, pretty good.
226
I’m pretty good at sticking to what I know. You don’t see me social commentating on health-care or presidential debates. I talk about what I know because I’m petrified of being wrong.
227
I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I’ll make pretty good movies the rest of my life.
228
People who’ve had very unhappy childhoods are pretty good at inventing themselves. If nobody invents you for yourself, nothing is left but to invent yourself for others.
229
I went to high school in Virginia Beach, Va., and we had these guys – they were surfers. They didn’t like me, never talked to me. And if they didn’t like you, they threw toothpicks at you. After I did a play, it was different. I found out I was pretty good at something.
230
I do love my country. I don’t think I’m particularly a good American. I don’t know what makes a good American. Other than somebody who – I like people who let other people alone. I think that’s a pretty good American. And I keep my hands to myself. So I’m an OK American.
231
I always assume I look better than I actually do. I’ll feel pretty good about myself when I leave the house, then I’ll see a picture and think, ‘Crap, I had no idea that’s what I was looking like.’
232
There was a time when ‘Batman‘ really kept me from getting some pretty good roles, and I was asked to do what I figured were important features. However, Batman was there, and very few people would take a chance on me walking onto the screen. And they’d be taking people away from the story.
233
Black audiences are probably the toughest for me to make laugh. I’ve gotten pretty good at performing for them, but it’s still a challenge.
234
I had an imaginary friend. I don’t know when I stopped having an imaginary friend, but my mom and everybody in my family remembers it pretty good. It’s definitely true.
CC Sabathia
235
All I know is Coach Cook said I’d be a pretty good sand player because I have all the shots.
236
Clinton was a pretty good president for a Republican.
237
Marco van Basten – I never saw him properly play but I know he was pretty good.
238
The polarity of Mitch Mitchell and Moe Tucker offers a pretty good understanding of what a drummer‘s role is.
239
I’ve been listening to a lot of Hollies stuff lately, and it’s beginning to sound pretty good to me.
240
I think the UFC does a pretty good job of backing me.
241
I always set myself huge goals each year, and I’m pretty good at manifesting them, which ends up meaning I take a lot on my plate.
Angela Lindvall
242
I like pasta; it’s pretty good. I’ll even substitute wheat pasta in there and make it more healthy.
Prince Fielder
243
I thought I was a pretty good shortstop, but I also wanted to play in the major leagues.
244
I like the Open Window Fresh WetJet scent; it smells pretty good as you are using it. I like fresh and clean smells, so it makes sense that I would also be partnered with Swiffer because that is what they are all about: making your house all fresh and clean.
245
I’ve said yes to everything that Jon Stewart has asked me to do. That’s been a pretty good career decision, I think.
246
I’ve run my mouth pretty good about my beliefs.
247
I routinely oscillate between exultation and despair. Maybe at the end of the day I feel pretty good about what I’ve written, but the next morning I see that it’s crap. Then I start again – make a new outline, do some more research, try to rethink the whole question.
248
It is a sort of great Victorian truth that actually, trying to do the right thing is pretty good for you and pretty good for business as well, by and large.
Chris Patten
249
I spent so much time on the field while my dad had practices growing up that I actually developed a pretty good arm playing catch with my sister.
250
My high school experience was pretty good, but my middle school experience was god awful. It was horrible. I got picked on like no tomorrow.
251
I actually sing horribly, but I used to dance pretty good. I was a gymnast, and you can usually use those gymnastic tricks with dance. Plus, they’re so much fun to do. That wasn’t really a big part of my career. It was just a phase.
252
I was a good father. I was a nice guy, pretty good guitar player, and funny as hell.
253
We picked the Red Sox because they lose. If you root for something that loses for 86 years, you’re a pretty good fan. You don’t have to win everything to be a fan of something.
254
Here’s the thing, I’ve been cooking more and more and I’m pretty good; the problem is I can only go out to restaurants that cook better than I do, therefore, it’s expensive.
255
If you fail on your own terms, that’s a pretty good way to go down.
256
I never thought of myself as being a good songwriter. There are a ton of other people that are good songwriters, but I don’t think I’m in the club. What I do well is perform, sometimes sing pretty good, and accompany myself well and arrange fairly well.
Alex Chilton
257
I’m lucky. I’ve got pretty good genes.
258
I got to know the cast pretty well. Not so much Leonard Nimoy, I got to know William Shatner pretty well. They are a pretty good gang. The production company that made ‘Star Trek‘ is the kind of production company that likes to have fun.
259
That, we encourage, and I think we’re doing a pretty good job with the website and also the DVD, like the first season came out and the second season’s being prepared now.
260
My dad always said, ‘There’s no limit to the amount of people you can entertain as long as you’re willing to be the butt of the joke.’ And I’ve made a pretty good living off of that over the years.
261
I know I’m a pretty good quarterback.
262
I think generally I’m a pretty good person if I had to grade myself. Or toot my own horn.
263
Look, to be honest, when certain movies like ‘Ninja Assassin‘ came out, that had a sexy, sexy Asian man with a six-pack, that made some people think, ‘Maybe I should go out there and date an Asian dude.’ And that did pretty good for us in a way of representation.
264
We’ve been around for awhile, had a lot of success. Got a chance to sit around and go, ‘Oh, yeah, we’re pretty good.’
265
I know more about UFC than the wrestling circuit. I think everybody’s a pretty good guy in the UFC.
266
I reckon domesticated cats have a pretty good life.
267
Life has been good to me. It’s not like I missed an awful lot. I had a pretty good lick here. Every moment gets a little more important.
Michael Landon
268
I never actually had a guitar lesson. I taught myself the guitar from piano exercise books, which led me to have a pretty good technique on the guitar and allowed me to find different ways to do things.
269
My life is okay, my life is pretty good.
270
Well my dad was a pretty good player at one stage and my two older brothers played golf as well. So there were always golf clubs flying around the house.
Retief Goosen
271
Everywhere I go now, people are like, ‘That’s the guy from ‘Dancing With the Stars!’ It’s pretty good that you’re not just a football player but you’re in the entertainment world.
272
I feel like I’ve done a pretty good job of scaling because I got some great mentors along the way that helped me realize I just have to build a phenomenal team around me that makes my job a lot easier.
273
I’m pretty good with talking to girls if I have an introduction, but I’m the worst at trying to go pick up a girl. I’m really bad at breaking the ice. It’s awkward!
274
I blurbed a nice book, not at all like my book ‘The Big Oyster,’ called ‘The Essential Oyster.’ I blurbed a pretty good book about meat called ‘Meathooked.’
275
Things with my dad were pretty good until I won an Academy Award. He was really loving to me until I got more attention than he did. Then he hated me.
Tatum O’Neal
276
I can shoot pool, and I can play ping-pong. I’m pretty good at those games.
Thelonious Monk
277
Before I got through high school I had attended 22 different schools. In the time before I was well acquainted with the latest school, I would amuse myself by drawing and found that I was pretty good at it.
Marc Davis
278
I think standup is pretty good for an introvert because you are performing, but, I mean, it’s on your own terms. There are so many people in the room, but it’s a one-sided conversation. And you actually don’t have to interactunless you want to.
279
It turns out that I’ve become a pretty good werewolf actor. I’m going to have to try to get myself into a different position, at some point in the future, but I’ll take werewolf. Werewolf is pretty damn fun to play.
Kris Holden-Ried
280
Nature is pretty good at networks, self-organizing systems. By contrast, social systems are top-down and hierarchical, from which we draw the basic assumption that organization and order can only come from centralism.
281
I can hedge out on the screen-and-roll, I can fall back, and I can switch. I’m pretty good with everything on the pick-and-roll.
282
Honestly, I just kind of play ball. I guess I’m pretty good in the state of Florida.
283
My Mom and Dad did it pretty good, so I know it can work. The foremost thing I would say about working with Robin and Sean is that they were devoted to this project and devoted to their characters. You can’t ask for any more from talented actors like that.
Nick Cassavetes
284
I really believe that if we were from another planet, and we sat down to put our heads together on torture experiments, the concept of sticking a needle into someone and sucking their blood out would probably qualify as a pretty good one.
285
Getting to play superheros is a pretty good job.
286
Whenever it was spring break, someone would always have a guitar down at the beach, and they’d play a random song, and I’d sing. Eventually, hearing compliments from people saying I sounded pretty good stuck with me.
287
I try to limit my time with Michael Davies to as little as possible per week, and he is pretty good with that, since he has a bazillion things to do. When I do see him, I try not to talk about dental work or anything like that because I know the Brits get very sensitive.
288
You know what, I was one of the top 25 amateurs in the world. I had a pretty good college career.
289
My whole career, I’ve tried to bounce back and forth between everything, and not get typed out. I’ve done a pretty good job of not getting typed.
Stephen Root
290
As a kid, I wanted to be a pro tennis player. I was pretty good; at the tennis academies I attended, I always ‘played up’ against older age groups.
291
I was not a good student; I was an average student. In order to play basketball and baseball, I had to go to school every day. And so I was pretty good in terms of attending school.
292
My favorite change is taking traction control away and launch control, because my starts are pretty good, I think, and I make always some places up in the start and I think that will be great if that comes back to the driver’s hand.
293
I tried hard not to think about the scope or scale of making a record that would be heard by millions and millions of people. I did a pretty good job of tuning that out.
294
You realize that the first Bryan Ferry album was pretty good although at the time it seemed a bit cheesy.
295
My goal at every tournament is to finish top 18. At the end of the year if I could finish every tournament top 18, that would be pretty good.
Bubba Watson
296
I think I am feeling comfortable in Bollywood more than in Hollywood because I have spent more time here now and I am understanding a lot of things. I am feeling pretty good here. I really don’t plan on running off anywhere.
297
I just try to keep going and work on projects that are exciting to me, with people I respect and enjoy and want to work with. That takes me in different directions sometimes, but it’s all been a pretty good ride.
Tom McCarthy
298
I have a pretty good ear.
299
The reality of split government puts a premium on creativity within the administration. President Obama needs to put the right people in charge of the agencies and then have them push the bounds of administrative power to change policy through those agencies. President Obama has a pretty good track record of this.
300
I had a stick of CareFree gum, but it didn’t work. I felt pretty good while I was blowing that bubble, but as soon as the gum lost its flavor, I was back to pondering my mortality.
301
‘MasterChef‘ is pretty good.
302
If you get a good comedy once a year, man, that’s pretty good. I may be pickier than some, but still, there aren’t that many movies that are really, truly, honestly that funny.
303
In the United States, we do a pretty good job of protecting iconic landscapes and postcard views, but the ocean gets no respect.
304
When I am behind and I am looking ahead and there is that line in front of you, of that guy, of winning and losing, then I really hang it out there and take big risks to make the speed up, and then I’m pretty good at passing.
Nate Holland
305
No one ever asked what was my relationship with Bart Giamatti. We used to talk about baseball a lot as a player and a commissioner, just talk about the game, what could we do to help the game, where’s the game going, he was pretty good.
306
I’ve always been a pretty good ball-striker, I’ve relied on my ball-striking in my whole career, my athletic ability. But the short game and putting has kind of held me back in majors.
307
I try to do the right thing. If you do what you know is right, and you’re a good person, you might not win short-term all the time, and financial gains might not be there all the time, but ultimately, you can be pretty happy, and you can do some pretty good things in the world. Keep a positive outlook.
308
I’ve been in three offenses in the NFL. I think I’m pretty good now.
309
I was in all the Pay Per Views and all the house shows, and I thought I made a pretty good impact and helped change pro wrestling – not by myself, but definitely, I was a part of it in the Attitude Era. There is no recognition towards me or about me, and I’m kind of disappointed.
310
I’m actually a pretty good tennis player!
311
I really thought I was pretty good before I saw Hendrix, and then I thought: Yeah, not so good.
312
I actually have a pretty good sense of humor.
313
I was watching ‘Mr. Roger‘s Neighborhood‘, ‘Sesame Street’, ‘Electric Company’, ‘Romper Room’, and ‘Villa Alegre!’ when I said to my self, ‘Hey, self! Wouldn’t it be fun to be one of those kids on the TV?’ My mom thought it was a pretty good idea, too… and she instantly moved us from the Bay Area to Malibu… nice.
Keith Coogan
314
Chicago is a pretty good town.
315
Everything is pretty good in my life, and like everybody else, things happen, and you put your head down and solve challenges.
316
I haven’t worn one for a long time, but I look pretty good in a suit.
317
I’ve been pretty good at negotiating.
318
I’m usually pretty good in the garden.
319
I’ll be honest: I naturally have a pretty good eyebrow shape. I always have. I would get made fun of when I was younger because they were so thick.
320
We had a pretty good lead, so why push it.
David Wells
321
For a quarter of a century, I’ve been playing baseball for pay. It has been pretty good pay, most of the time. The work has been hard, but what of it? It’s been risky. I’ve broken both my legs. I’ve sprained everything I’ve got between my ankles and my disposition. I’ve dislocated my joints and fractured my pride.
Rabbit Maranville
322
My home in Dallas is wonderful. I can walk everywhere. It’s a pretty good hidden secret, Dallas. There are wonderful restaurants and a wonderful nightlife. It’s just a beautiful city to be in.
323
I didn’t mind studying. Obviously math and the physical science subjects interested me more than some of the more artistic subjects, but I think I was a pretty good student.
324
I like to think I’m a pretty good friend. I love having a good time, and I enjoy being able to share those good times with others.
325
More than four thousand programs produced and consumed. Some of them were pretty good, a great many of them were forgettable; but a handful may even be worth a book.
Ted Koppel
326
I think I’m in the service business. I mean, our sandwiches are pretty good; I don’t know if they’re extraordinary. But our service is.
327
My rule – and I feel like this is a pretty good rule for life – no drinking while on television. I do not ever imbibe.
328
For those of us who spent our careers competing with David Broder, the hardest thing to abide was the inevitable comparison. If someone said Jack Germond – or Jules Witcover or Walter Mears or whoever – ‘is a pretty good political reporter,’ the default response would be, ‘but he’s no David Broder.’
329
I want to do some fiction writing, I’ve had some pretty good luck with short stories, I’d like to do a couple of larger things.
330
I’ve always thought my soundtracks do pretty good, because they’re basically professional equivalents of a mix tape I’d make for you at home.
331
I consider myself a pretty good extemporaneous speaker. Even though I don’t like speaking in front of people, I don’t think I’m bad at it.
Anna D. Shapiro
332
The technology I like is the American paperback edition of ‘Freedom.’ I can spill water on it, and it would still work! So it’s pretty good technology.
333
For a lot of people, life’s been pretty good. There hasn’t been true terror right in your face.
334
With comedy, I’ve always had a pretty good sense of what I like and how to execute it well, but drama has its own rules.
335
The E.U. has its weaknesses, but it’s been pretty good for us, and it’s been pretty good for Europe, and it’s kept peace.
336
I was the youngest of the house that I grew up in, so I feel like, as the youngest, you have it pretty good. At the same time, I guess I required a lot of attention, being afraid of so many different things. So I was never seeking attention; I wanted the opposite.
337
I think I’m just a comedian who’s a pretty good con man, and I don’t see that changing any time soon.
338
I was always pretty good with making deals. When I was in sixth grade, when Pokemon cards were hot, I might have started with, like, three or four cards, and then at the end of the year, through trading with my friends and everything, I ended up with the biggest card collection in my school.
339
I don’t mind hitting the ball bad, but when I feel like I’ve hit the ball pretty good for four days and shoot an 81, it’s not golf.
340
I fancy myself at being pretty good at understanding a script and finding the weaknesses, and then making them more radical than they are. People tend to listen to me.
341
I am a pretty good lawyer, and I decided to close the office and to enter politics.
342
But I do have a computer at home and a pretty good ISDN connection.
343
You’ve got to stay in pretty good shape to be a pro wrestler, and all the TNA wrestlers get a bit nervous when I wrestle them because they’re afraid I’ll tire them out, but the Olympics is a whole different level.
344
I get mad at my mom. I really wish she’d put me into hockey. I’m not gifted with height, but look at Martin St-Louis. He’s unbelievable. He’s small, but he’s so fast, so skilful. I think I could have been pretty good.
345
I think I’d do pretty good on ‘Glee‘ singing.
Michael Clarke Duncan
346
I guess Johnny Depp has a pretty good career. I love a lot of parts that actors have played, so I love pieces of their career, but it’s pretty hard to look at an actor’s whole career and go, ‘That was awesome!’ Usually it either ends on a crappy show or with no work at all.

That’s been my challenge. Go out there and guard the best player and get it done on both ends. It’s been working out pretty good for me. Just got to keep that thing going.
348
I like ‘Man v. Food,’ ‘Diners Drive-ins and Dives.’ ‘Restaurant Impossible’ is pretty good, too.
349
I enjoy going on hikes, and I enjoy the occasional yoga. The one thing I’m good at athletically – and I don’t know if I’m good at it anymore because I haven’t done this in a while – I can throw a pretty good spiral in football, but I have no idea how to play.
350
Peyton’s pretty good at figuring stuff out.
351
For over a year I continued to submit mss, and have them rejected – the last few with rejection letters indicated the story was pretty good, but I was American.
352
I’ve been beat up pretty badly. Pretty badly. Yet at the end of the day, everyone says I’m doing a pretty good job.
353
I’d feel bad pretending my life was anything other than pretty good, so I do the role as well as I can and then I go home, have a cup of tea, see my family and friends, and appreciate what I’ve got.
354
Kubrick and I were pretty good friends.
355
Two gold medals and two silver, I don’t think is that bad… I think I still did a pretty good job.
356
When I’m on stage, that’s a job. It’s acting, it’s faking, just making fun of yourself, telling bad jokes – I’m pretty good in this – dancing, just to entertain.
357
I tried one tiny piece of kangaroo, which I never thought I would try, and it was actually pretty good. I probably wouldn’t eat it again, but it was still pretty good.
358
I’m a pretty good listener.
359
In terms of long-term durable storage, the human mind, paradoxically, is pretty good, but it’s very fragile.
360
It’s cool to be a pioneer in something, especially in basketball in Canada, it’s pretty good.
361
Money will buy a pretty good dog, but it won’t buy the wag of his tail.
362
Found out I’m actually a pretty good teacher.
363
I think I do a pretty good job of not letting things distract me from what I want to do and what I want to accomplish as a football player.
364
If I can make myself laugh about something that I should be crying about, that’s pretty good.
365
I always said if I didn’t focus on basketball, then it would have been football. I was pretty good and was asked to go to England trials.
366
Tell me a musician who’s got rich off digital sales. Apple‘s doing pretty good though, right?
367
I don’t imagine my parents are too excited about my kind of life. The surrounding weirdness bothers them. Still, I think they’re pretty good. Their lives are based on what their friends think, just like ours are.
368
Stockton is a great fight town because if you drive long enough on some of these roads, you’ll probably see a pretty good street fight.
369
I’ve made three musical movies which is pretty good considering that not many are made but I was lucky in other ways. I came along when independent movies were starting to boom.
370
I’m pretty good at gardening. It consumes my time, and it feels like I’m doing something constructive.
371
Everything I played, I kind of found a way to be pretty good at. My mom always said, ‘If you’re not good at something, then don’t do it.’
372
I think I’ve had pretty good experiences for the most part with the people who have directed my screenplays.
373
I had some pretty good teachers. I learned how to play the game the right way.
374
I guess ‘The Player’ was a pretty good L.A. movie. And ‘Chinatown.’ Was there ever a better L.A. movie about a certain period in L.A.? That was terrific.
375
The whole Haley-Nathan marriage deal was a pretty good twist huh? I hope we got all of you with it. That particular story line even suprised me when I read it, it’s a good one and it’ll provide for some good stories to come.
376
I love playing competitive golf because it’s really the only thing left that I’m still pretty good at.
377
I am not racked with self-loathing. Some issues of guilt and shame, but I’m a pretty good guy.
378
I’m quite bullish. We’re coming up on year 15 of a flat stock market. Historically that’s a pretty good sign. So I’m not a hedge-fund manager but if I was I think I’d be feeling pretty good.
379
As a kid, I was a pretty good little sprinter.
Mary Lou Retton
380
Even now, when I’m asked how I’m doing, I like to reply, ‘Pretty good. I’ve got all my fingers and both eyes.
381
You never know what can happen. I feel like I have a pretty good chance, but you never know.
Carly Patterson
382
I was a pretty good kid, but I also knew when it was worth breaking the rules. I don’t think that makes you a rebel, though, because that’s still exercising some type of caution.
383
I will tell you, I’m a lousy cook, but I think I’m a pretty good judge of a good meal.
384
I was a pretty good academic proofreader, I just wasn’t good at keeping up with the paperwork.
Anne Hegerty
385
I’m pretty good at thinking about everything – all of my consequences – before I make a decision, and I think about everything that’s going to happen because of that decision. I’m a Libra, and I’m very strategic.
386
My engineer on the ‘Life is Too $hort’ album was Al Eaton. Al Eaton had a studio called One Little Indian Studios, and he was a pretty good guitar player. He would suggest certain songs. Al was the force behind ‘Life is Too $hort’ and definitely the force behind songs like ‘The Ghetto.’
387
I put Catholic guilt to work pretty good for a rich rock star.
388
‘Top Model‘ is pretty good, because it gives these girls an opportunity to chase their passion and possibly get a contract.
Erik Estrada
389
I went through a lot in my life that scarred me pretty good. I built a wall around myself to the point where nobody knew what was really going on inside of me, including myself.
390
I’m actually really good at Balderdash, and no one wants to play that game with me. Especially the movies category; I don’t want to give away my secrets, but I am pretty good at that category.
391
Believe it or not, I’m pretty good at just doing nothing.
392
The Hall of Fame is pretty good at preparation and getting you ready for what to expect.
393
I think love can come fairly easily and grow – but really liking the core essence of someone is a much harder thing to bottle. If you have both, you’re in pretty good shape.
394
Having rain on your tuxedo is a pretty good reminder that you’re not James Bond.
395
There’s a lot of animals in the open ocean – most of them that make light. And we have a pretty good idea, for most of them, why. They use it for finding food, for attracting mates, for defending against predators. But when you get down to the bottom of the ocean, that’s where things get really strange.
396
Ten percent of the big fish still remain. There are still some blue whales. There are still some krill in Antarctica. There are a few oysters in Chesapeake Bay. Half the coral reefs are still in pretty good shape, a jeweled belt around the middle of the planet. There’s still time, but not a lot, to turn things around.
397
Attention to detail – Sherlock certainly has that, and my memory is pretty good – but not as good as his.
398
I jumped off my lift, smashed my knee pretty good – my meniscus and everything. So I had to have surgery.
399
If you don’t have the confidence in baking, commit to making the recipe three times. The first two, do it exactly the way I’ve told you to make it. Twice. The first time you’ll screw it up. The second time it will come out pretty good, and then the third time, make your adjustments.
400
I’d asked for things like the ‘Footloose’ soundtrack and Michael Jackson‘s ‘Thriller‘ for my birthdays, but I remember walking what felt like miles to this cassette shop called The Warehouse to buy Paul Simon‘s ‘Graceland,’ U2’s ‘Joshua Tree’ and a Roberta Flack album. I had pretty good taste.
401
We have about 4 million people who have voted for who they want to see in the Hall of Fame. There are some people they put down that are pretty good players. You have Ray Guy, Jim Plunkett, Lester Hayes and Donnie Shell.
402
I’m pretty good at delivering my songs, but I just want to perfect the craft by creating melodies.
403
And George Brett. I think most people know that George and I have become pretty good friends over the years.
Robin Yount
404
As far as the Animals breaking up – it was my fault. I wanted out. We took it to the max, as far as we could take it. Our reunion tour in 1983 went pretty good until we left America. Then we pushed it too hard and it fell apart.
405
I’ve got a pretty good appetite right now.
406
I’m really great with weapons: I did a lot of bo and staff training for ‘Immortals.’ I love knives. I’m a pretty good shot. But I love hand-to-hand combat.
407
I think every basketball player I know loves ping pong. Everyone played in on the Dream Team. I played Clyde Drexler and Chris Mullin and even David Stern once. David Stern saw I was pretty good.
408
I don’t have any regrets in my life actually. I think that’s a pretty good policy.
409
Maybe I’m delusional but I’m usually funny. It’s not 100% but I have a pretty good batting average.
410
Sitting at the table during Color Purple and looking up and suddenly realizing I was acting in front of Steven Spielberg, was pretty cool. It was pretty good.
411
I figured out pretty quickly, as long as you stay employed and make pretty good money, you don’t have to make that top top money for a couple, three years, like a lot of guys then disappear. You’ll still do okay.
412
I like to think of myself as a pretty good shot blocker.
413
During most of my freelancing, I made what I would have made in charge of the cafeteria at a pretty good junior-high school.
414
If you can be the best from Queensbridge and actually make it out, then you must be pretty good.
415
Routines, or lack thereof, are a pretty good way to get to know someone.
