Being SCOTTISH, I'm probably a little TIGHT, or as the Scots say, 'You're CAUTIOUS with your MONEY.' I don't think that 's the worst thing in the WORLD to be.

Despite recent SPECULATION in the media, and after difficult but SINCERE consideration, I have decided not to direct 'Catching Fire.' As a writer and a DIRECTOR, I simply don't have the time I NEED to write and prep the movie I would have wanted to MAKE, because of the fixed and tight production schedule.

Me and my OLDER BROTHER were taken from my MOTHER at the same time so we were PRETTY tight.

You KNOW, Slick Rick was TIGHT at TELLING stories.

My only VERSE I REMEMBER REALLY WORKING on was 'Mixtape,' and I TOOK 45 minutes on that because I wanted it to be tight.

Just because someone MAY or may not have someone that WRITES some words for them doesn't mean that, A, they don't have to kill it on the PERFORMANCE, and, B, they don't have to have the ear for what's TIGHT and what's not, which is SOMETHING a lot of people don't have.

There is something MAGICAL about THREE you KNOW - a trio is tight and nicely economical.

We have to KEEP a very TIGHT CHECK on QUALITY.

Now, WHENEVER I need to go ONLINE, I confine myself to a tight CIRCLE: Gmail, MLB.com, NYTimes.com, Slate and MAYBE Facebook.

Space is tight INSIDE a tank: very close confines, and you're permanently banging. Like in Brad Pitt's new MOVIE 'Fury' - the clanking of METAL is all you HEAR.

If I have LONG hair, I go for more... fitting, LIKE a miniskirt dress or a very tight BLACK leather outfit.

Typically, I'm PUT in HIGH heels and a tight TOP, which is not my personality at all.

You WANT to be able to run seam routes and do all that, but to have something that you can hang your HAT on and know that it's going to convert first downs, that's what tight ends are paid to do. And I've certainly TAKEN a lot of PRIDE in that over the YEARS.
