It's not a POPULARITY CONTEST to me. It should ALWAYS be about the MUSIC.

Anytime something starts to feel like a popularity CONTEST or not about the music, I'd rather just not be involved. I'm not a big high-fiver. That REALLY gets to people around me when we have a No. 1 or something big HAPPEN. I'm not a big, 'Let's go have a PARTY about it!'

I'll NEVER be in a dunk contest again. I don't EVER want to be a PART of it.

I HATE talking about the DUNK CONTEST. I'm just so SICK of the dunk contest. I'm DONE with that. That point of my life I'm over with.

For me, the most important issue in the Republican PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST is IMMIGRATION and its effect on our national security. On that issue Mr. TRUMP stands head and shoulders above the other candidates.

The first TIME I JOINED the GYM was during the Miss Sri Lanka pageant in 2006. Then, I went for the Miss Universe contest where I was exposed to girls who were very fit for their age. They could have joined the OLYMPICS. They were doing CRAZY exercises.

The 1980 REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST might have been as GOOD a roster of candidates as ever fielded by any party.

We're surrounded by VIOLENCE, and we see so much of it on TV, especially the news PROGRAMS. We almost become NUMB. And that forces filmmakers to try to outdo themselves... They say, 'Look what I can do,' and it becomes like a showoff thing. To me, that's ridiculous. Filmmaking isn't a CONTEST!

I was always a clown. In the eighth grade I won a city SPEECH CONTEST by doing an Eddie Murphy routine. I'm no good at public speaking, but if I can assume a role and SPEAK as that PERSON, then I'm fine. When I had to GIVE a book report, I always did it in character.

You bring a car out, you're GOING to WIN any DUNK contest.

I want to join BJP as a PARTY worker. I am not CRAVING for any post or OPPORTUNITY to CONTEST any ELECTIONS.

I frankly think the NBA All-Star GAME has RUN its course, the whole dunk contest... The game - if those GUYS actually played HARD in that game, it'd be the BEST watch ever.

First time I EVER SANG was in a CONTEST in LOUISIANA when I was 9. And I won yodeling.

To me a FIGHT is a fight, it's not a CONTEST or a martial ARTS COMPETITION, it's a fight.
