Slick Quotations

Cell phones, mobile e-mail, and all the other cool and slick gadgets can cause massive losses in our creative output and overall productivity.

Dresses are beautiful, but I'm such a slacks or a jeans person. Whenever a woman has a slick suit or dress on, she looks sharp.

I do really silly dancing. I love dancing, but I'm not cool when I dance. It's not about my moves, it's not about how cool I am, it's not about how slick I look on the dance floor, it's about having a great time.

I think film had a terrible effect on horror fiction particularly in the 80s, with certain writers turning out stuff as slick and cliched as Hollywood movies.

When I was young, Tchaikovsky was ruined for me by conductors who made it slick and treacly. Hearing Valery Gergiev conduct Tchaikovsky has been a revelation - he brings out all its raw passion. And Gergiev with the super-virtuoso LSO - well, it's just the perfect combination.

If you're looking for a slick politician or a guy with great teleprompter skills, we already have that. He's destroying our economy. I'm a doer, not a talker.

A slick ponytail is a great way to add a modern, minimal look to your outfit.

Anne Boleyn isn't a sympathetic character, but I like that she isn't a people pleaser. She's ambitious and manipulative, but she's honest. I'm biased, but I don't think a woman who has said 'no' to the King of England for six years would jump into bed with four of his best friends. She was a slick political mind.

If troubled companies want to explain away 2008 as a 'black swan,' then someone should take responsibility for creating the oil slick that seems to have tarred the entire flock!

The toughest trail I ever ran was the Escarpment in the Catskills of New York State. This was an 18-mile race through Rip Van Winkle country, routed through boulder fields, across angular juttings of granite and along a path with an unrelenting barrage of roots, rocks and mud, all of it hidden under slick leaves and dangling nettles.

We have defined these characters - people always expect to see me in a pencil skirt. When they see me out of one - much like when they see Jon Hamm's hair when it isn't slick - they say, 'Wait a minute, you're all 2010!'

I really like to rock it natural and let my hair go wild, but when I do style it, I slick all the hair over to one side with pins. It's either that or a messy bun.

We were told our campaign wasn't sufficiently slick. We regard that as a compliment.

My cash cows, the slick magazines, were put out of business by TV.

We found that a slick truck can also be on the edge in the draft. We found last year that we want a fair amount of drag on it because during the race, drag means grip. There's kind of a fine line. I think you want to build a truck that has a little bit of drag.

I guess it's a really bad deal to have a fire when it's so slick and icy outside.

I didn't want him to be slick in this movie. Instead of designer looks, we wanted all of his clothes to be a half size too small. I wanted him to have a mustache. This character is an equal-opportunity letch, and Pierce just went with it. I think he appreciated focusing on the character, not how his hair looked.

Fortunately, we have great tires for this type of race. The surface of these slick Cooper A1 tires can become almost gel-like with the high track temperatures, and the way that they 'squash' into the track surfaces really helps with grip and cornering.

He may spend his tens of millions on slick TV ads, but this isn't eBay. The governor's race does not have a 'buy it now' option.

He came through the door and he was really nervous, which again made me excited because, OK, this isn't someone who is professional and wearing a mask and being slick and all that. His first take was horrible, and I was totally crestfallen. I told him to stop acting, and he nailed it. It was a sort of 'meant to be' type of thing.

Good ideas and good solutions sometimes work better than slick campaign ads.

Unless they can slick it up, or get big divisions among us I think we have a good shot of winning this thing.

I think the American people want to have substance and not glitz. They're not interested in slick slogans, ... Meet The Press.

Jeff Kinney is tall and has a great smile, but don't be fooled, he's as slick as they come. A real player. And how he came up with a book that appeals to kids ages 8-13 baffles me. He's an unbelievably kind man with a great family.

Suddenly I was on stage.Looking out into the sea of screaming excited teens, I thought for a fleeting moment that maybe I had been too hard on myself, maybe I was just as much a teen singing sensation as this slick Avalon fellow.

When the corners started to slick up I just lifted before they did. The exhaust helped, I could hear the wheels spin.

When I first started running here, I didn't get around the place very good. It was just a real hot, slick race track for me. I don't know what happened, but we showed up one week and this thing was just really, really fast and we've been fast ever since. So it's something in the car or in the set-up of the car that Tony Jr. found -- maybe at a test at Richmond or somewhere -- that has helped us here. That's really how we won those races and turned it around from the first races we had here. So that has a lot to do with it.

The only thing I know is he's supposed to coach his team. He don't need to be on the sideline running his mouth, trying to talk trash from the bench. He's not a player no more, he's a coach. His job is to coach his team, not to have little slick stuff to say from the bench.

The population that we are trying to reach is not the population that is going to be appealed to by slick marketing efforts. This population relies on individuals within their own communities who can carry that message.

This was a real slick snow and it piled up fast. I mean it's kind of like the blizzard of '93. It just wasn't as deep.

The track was really slick and dirty this morning. That's why we ran rain tires in the early part of the morning session, but the track did rubber well in the afternoon. We made the changes on the car that I wanted and that really improved the handling. The track is a little bumpy than last year, but we can deal with that. I'm a little upset because what always happens on the a street course happened on the last lap. I felt I was on a 63 flat (seconds) lap and the yellow came out and we didn't the lap in. That seems to happen a lot on the street course. Right when you have everything together for a flying lap, boom, the yellow comes out. It is frustrating. But we'll be better on Saturday.

I wanted that race to go down to the final lap. It was such a good battle that it's a shame that it ended the way it did. I saw a lapped rider down in the turn and just lost concentration for a split second. That corner was slick and I washed out my front wheel and I was on the ground before I knew it. It's a tough series and things like that are going to happen. Fortunately I didn't lose too much ground in the points and I'll go to San Francisco hoping to come back strong.

Satan is a slick character. To me, he's actually very appealing. He's not scary. That's kind of how sin is because it looks appealing and it looks harmless, but the consequences are there. It's a very powerful scene. There are even some demons and sufferers.

Adam is kind of a combination of his two brothers. He's on the smaller side like Stevie was when he first started, but he's a physical kid and a physically hard worker in the weight room like Ryan. He can be physical on the mat like Ryan, but he's more of a slick wrestler like Stevie. He can use his feet to be slick or be pretty powerful.

A self-funded candidate may make a splash early on with slick TV ads. But people want to peel back the surface and see if this is a candidate we can trust to do what's right.

This cowardly, back-tracking, fast-talking, slick character, to me, is probably the most imitated character and persona that's in comedy.

The result has been a service that looks slick enough, but in fact, offers little in the way of what's really out there. It is also very expensive, far more so than similar services offered in either the USA or Europe. Look at the US where there is competition. In some markets consumers get 500 channels and pay half of what they do here.

It was a lot worse on the Dallas side than the Fort Worth side because temperatures were a little lower to the east. You had ice forming on bridges and overpasses, and it was probably a little slick on the curves. There also was some fog.

It's no secret that North Side's much better, but us fumbling the ball so many times was very frustrating. When it's humid and slick like it is tonight, it's easy to see why fumbles happen. But still, I thought we had that problem fixed.

It made the weather a little more realistic, because it's going to be about 73 or 72 degrees inside the dome, ... We didn't have any lightning, so I thought it helped us concentrate even more, seeing as it was slick and noisy.

It's going to be difficult to handle the sheer volume of information and the slick materials and giveaway incentives.

They were spreading chemicals, plowing snow, also monitoring the roadways, looking for slick spots and trouble spots throughout the region.

It's really slick out there. It's hard to see in the dark because of how dusty it is. The pavement all looks the same too. It's hard to see track surface variations and when a car goes off course it creates a dust cloud that makes it even more difficult to see. Then the car brings the dirt back on to the track. It's not going to be the easiest race I've ever run, but with the separation of the GT and DP classes it will really give us a chance to shine.

Slick just got me in the door, ... Then I had to close the door.

'Evita' was four pieces of slick paper and a record album. It's the most scary, to sit down and dictate a musical scene by scene. It was a musical unlike anything I'd ever seen before myself.

The inspiration's drawn from the same era, so it's all very slick and very trim and fitting, using ice blue colors, soft pale yellow and some bright colors, and then mixing with shades of khakis and yellows.

The field is just too slick. They got through it, but really the last two innings it was too slick to play on.

I'm not sure what happened to the track, whether someone was dropping oil or what, but the track was very slick in the afternoon. I was losing three-tenths per lap on a couple of the turns. It was very tough to drive.

I just got loose in the turn. The track was pretty slick at the beginning of the race and I got sideways and got into Kurt. I hate it for him.

I really didn't know if it was an incompletion or a fumble or what the ruling was, ... I came out wanting to throw the ball to Cadillac in the flat quick, and the ball was really slick with the field and it just came out of my hand.

He's pretty slick about it. He has been on some championship teams, so he knows it's coming. Bottom line, the talk of why it didn't happen is getting more exposure than if they did slam it with the drink.

Poetry a riprap on the slick rock of metaphysics

I feel a lot of films that are shot digitally, even low-budget independent films, they look super slick now. Because the technology is so good that they look too good.

I don't want to make the mistake of going too early. One time when I was working for Godolphin, we left Dubai on April 10, and when we got to New York there was a half-foot of snow on the ground and it was 35 degrees. The horses went from having slick coats to long hair in a week.

In the '90s movies were so serious, and so stylistic and slick that I could not identify with them.

English rain feels obligatory, like paperwork. It dampens already damn days and slicks the stones.

You could see what looked like a greasy, greenish slick with paper in it.

All right. You know some bankers who are slick with a slice of secret sin. You've seen some bakers and candlestick makers who are no credit to their profession. Yet you don't damn banking and baking, and candlestick making because of them.

Sight is a slick and overbearing autocrat, trumpeting its prodigal knowledge and perceptions so forcefully that it drowns out the other, subtler senses.

Hope I lived up to my reputation for being slick.
