I'm really good at writing 'almost hits'.

- Ben Folds

Most of my friends in Nashville - almost all of them - seem to have had hits in the '70s, either as artists or songwriters or producers.

- Dan Hill

A man in a bookstore buys a book on loneliness and every woman in the store hits on him. A woman buys a book on loneliness and the store clears out.

- Douglas Coupland

When we first began, we didn't have any hits.

- Diana Ross

I've never really worked on them. Just once in a while one hits me and makes me laugh. My Al Gore was sort of like a gay Gomer Pyle.

- Dana Carvey

The artists in country music who stopped having hits are the ones who were led into something that wasn't them.

- Conway Twitty

Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while.

- Charles Barkley

Managing is getting paid for home runs that someone else hits.

- Casey Stengel

Bottom line is, you have to pitch. You want timely hits.

- Bobby Bonilla

I've had plenty of big hits and plenty of big misses.

- Bret Michaels

I've had some really big hits with 'Groundhog Day' and 'Michael,' 'Multiplicity,' 'Four Weddings and a Funeral.'

- Andie MacDowell

I think every guy that hits his 40s has a little bit of a wake-up call and wants to just keep things real, as they say, and just to push yourself.

- Bill Rancic

I grew up with 'best-of' cassettes. My first Smiths record was 'Hatful Of Hollow,' and I had hits albums by Elton John and The Cars.

- Brandon Flowers

A blouse that hits at the hips or above will keep you from seeming shapeless in a flowy skirt.

- Brad Goreski

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

- Bob Marley

There will not be an automatic increase in interest rate when unemployment hits 6.5%.

- Ben Bernanke

We didn't just want to go out and do that whole greatest hits thing.

- Andy Taylor

I still get really nervous, though, before each performance. It kind of hits about 15 minutes before we go onstage - sometimes I don't even want to go on. But once I'm onstage I'm fine.

- Alison Lohman

It is not about writing those hits again. I am sure I could write them, but it is about the sensibilities.

- Alison Moyet

We're more into expressing ourselves than making radio hits.

- Adam Jones
