Gasperini WORKS REALLY well, if Inter picked him up, it is NATURALLY because they had good REASONS.

A GROUP of GIRLS didn't LIKE me and PICKED on me on a DAILY basis.

When I was MUCH younger I tried to play GUITAR and bass first. DRUMS were just the EASIEST thing for me to play. I PICKED it up really quickly.

While I circled around and around in my brown rental skates, I studied a GROUP of skaters spinning in the center. I was FASCINATED! When my mom PICKED me up, I began a CAMPAIGN for skating LESSONS.

'Smoke On The Water' was IGNORED by everybody to begin with. We only did it in the shows because it was a filler track from 'Machine Head.' But then, one radio station picked up on it, and Warner Bros. edited it down to about three and a half minutes. It then STARTED getting PLAYED by LOTS of DIFFERENT radio stations.

I've PICKED BUTTER BEANS, okra, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew. I've butchered pigs, CHICKENS. We made our own sausage and pudding.

If I had to think of what I would do different in my WHOLE career, it's that I never would have picked up a BEER, BOTTLE of vodka. That DEFINITELY CHANGED my life. That is an Achilles' heel for me.

I didn't know ANYTHING about music when I started a band. I barely KNEW how to PLAY a guitar. I didn't know how to produce RECORDS. I learned how to play bass guitar and keyboards in Rilo Kiley. I picked up a lot from my collaborators.

Even THOUGH you wouldn't WANT to line a D-lineman and RUNNING back up across from each other to block, when you get help initially from the GUARD, and then the defensive tackle gets picked up by the running back, it's not as bad as a lot of people would think versus if you're just putting that matchup on paper.

I want to start a Dunkin' Donuts in LOS Angeles. I already have the perfect location picked out. It WOULD be the old TOWER Records BUILDINGS on Sunset.

I was such a big FOOTBALL fan in GENERAL, I just watched as MANY games as I could and I picked up THINGS from every game.

I was once doing a gig with Tim Vine; he was backstage, and there was one of those long STRINGS of polystyrene coffee cups. He picked up the whole stack of about 20, walked on stage and then said: 'Bloody HELL this coffee's hot!' which I THINK is the funniest thing anyone has EVER said.

When I was in HIGH school, I wasn't really popular. I was PICKED on a lot. And then I did a TALENT show, and kids started to tell me that I did a good JOB. It was the first time that my peers told me that they liked what I was doing. Something clicked, and I knew that this is what I wanted to do.

Each pineapple plant produces only one FRUIT per year. It can TAKE up to two years for the pineapple to ripen, and it's important to WAIT, because once it's PICKED, it can't ripen any further. The unripe pineapple is not only HORRIBLE tasting but poisonous.

What happened was I SAW this ad for a yogurt PLANT for SALE. It was in my JUNK mail pile, and I threw it into the garbage can. And then about half an hour later, with the dirt on it, I picked it up from the garbage can, and I called out of CURIOSITY.
