The thing I thought about doing it was it's Comic Relief and you've got to be funny. So although I did try to sing properly it obviously has hilarious results when you can't sing.
~By Jo Brand ~
These kids understood what is not immediately obvious; that they were going to pay the bills for tax cuts that had been passed today or in the last 4 years, and for the war in Iraq, because essentially we are borrowing money to do those things.
~By Tom Allen ~
Nobody wants you to stop, obviously because you're a moneymaking machine. But you have to make the decision and you have to move forward. So I took time off to have babies and do all that.
~By Donna Summer ~

~By Juan Goytisolo ~
There is perhaps no more obvious vanity than to write of it so vainly.
~By Michel de Montaigne ~
The obvious types of American fascists are dealt with on the air and in the press. These demagogues and stooges are fronts for others. Dangerous as these people may be, they are not so significant as thousands of other people who have never been mentioned.
~By Henry A. Wallace ~
Musicians don't respect a lot of the stuff that is on TRL and a lot of musicians think that stuff on the radio is not good musically so when musicians say that they like us it obviously feels good.
~By Adam Rich ~

~By John Desmond Bernal ~
Edible substances evoke the secretion of thick, concentrated saliva. Why? The answer, obviously, is that this enables the mass of food to pass smoothly through the tube leading from the mouth into the stomach.
~By Ivan Pavlov ~
Yeah, I had gay friends. The first thing I realized was that everybody's different, and it becomes obvious that all of the gay stereotypes are ridiculous.
~By Bruce Springsteen ~
It seems obvious to me that the notion of God has never been anything but a kind of ideal projection, a reflection upward of the human personality, and that theology never has been and never can be anything but a more and more purified mythology.
~By Alfred Loisy ~
I wrote the first book, Harvest of Stars, and as I was writing it, I saw that certain implications had barely been touched on... It's perfectly obvious that two completely revolutionary things are going on, with cybernetics, and biological science.
~By Poul Anderson ~
There was always a lot of American music in England until, obviously when the Beatles came around, then there was a shift towards English music, but before then American music was the main thing.
~By John Deacon ~
Obviously you don't want to be anonymous, but you don't want everyone to know your life.
~By Alison Lohman ~
Comedy is obviously a matter of personal taste and the world always needs a clown and some people have no taste at all and any clown will do.
~By Marc Maron ~
Obviously, there is diversity, but Europe is a union of diversity.
~By Jean-Pierre Raffarin ~
With everything it has to offer, Las Vegas is an obvious destination for tourists, as proven by the over 40 million visitors the city welcomes per year.
~By Jon Porter ~
Now obviously the propositions of the system have reference to matters of empirical fact; if they did not, they could have no claim to be called scientific.
~By Talcott Parsons ~
Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid.
~By Freddie Mercury ~
It was obvious what kind of game they were playing on the set of Amityville.
~By Margot Kidder ~
I'm fairly in control and I don't like to flirt particularly. I mean, obviously if I meet someone who I think is hot, of course I'll want to flirt with him, But in general I don't use it in day-to-day life.
~By Shirley Manson ~
One girl was helped from my appearance on the show, and I swore I would not keep quiet again. When you talk about things that are embarrassing or devastating, obviously you can help people when you do.
~By Hunter Tylo ~
I like working with actresses, and I like women a lot, not for obvious reasons, but just in that that there's so much about what they bring to the scene that keeps it so interesting. Their instincts are so different, and they never explain them to you.
~By Ryan Gosling ~
I love comic book movies, and Marvel Comics obviously are the best.
~By Maria Menounos ~
I had one year of struggle. My parents were always there, but I didn't want to rely on them. Now it's moving pretty fast. I'm not rich, but obviously this is fantastic. All I know to do with money is put it in a shoebox anyway.
~By Ben McKenzie ~
I've obviously made a very nice amount of money. I have a very nice lifestyle. I get to do what I love. Very few actors get to do that, and even fewer are lucky enough to work steadily for 24 years.
~By Erika Slezak ~
"Obvious" is the most dangerous word in mathematics.
~By E. T. Bell ~
They think my life is glamourous. It's not true. I obviously get to come in and do radio interviews. That's the glamour. But other than that, I eat and sleep and that's it. Eat, sleep and do shows.
~By Adam Garcia ~
From the point of the view of the nation's power, it was obvious that while we were fighting the Sino-Japanese war, every effort was to be made to avoid adding to our enemies and opening additional fronts.
~By Hideki Tojo ~
What I loved about playing the corpse is that obviously somebody else got to do the physical part. It appeals to the part of me that likes playing character parts and getting the chance to get away from my own physicality.
~By Helena Bonham Carter ~
Ernest Hemingway did a great deal toward making the writer an acceptable public figure; obviously, he was no sissy.
~By Irwin Shaw ~
Lennon was very helpful. What he taught me seems completely obvious: he expected people to treat each other well.
~By Annie Leibovitz ~
You know, I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads, obviously. But very often it's a role that's underwritten, where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in.
~By Harvey Fierstein ~
Women are obviously much more discriminated against than men in many ways.
~By Ann Beattie ~
Republicans are not going to play I-told-you-so, but it is pretty obvious that the tax reductions passed in 2003 helped Americans dig out of a recession and get back to work.
~By Marsha Blackburn ~
You're only dealing with whatever you know, which is a very small part of it and later on it'll look like it has something to do with the period. Obviously, the artists have something to do with one another. They tend to set up certain common qualities among themselves.
~By Donald Judd ~
Obviously, I'm not looking in the core of the reactor, but I am looking at what, at that time, was considered the source of the trouble, which was the water and where it was.
~By William Scranton ~
Look, obviously that was - created quite a firestorm, but Newsweek editors have made clear that this was a situation where, you know, a solid, well-placed source provided some information.
~By Michael Isikoff ~
They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
~By Arthur Schopenhauer ~
So I'm in quite the wrong profession obviously.
~By Dirk Bogarde ~
Obviously I was challenged by becoming a Naval aviator, by landing aboard aircraft carriers and so on.
~By Alan Shepard ~
In art, the obvious is a sin.
~By Edward Dmytryk ~
Now that I can edit the whole thing on AVID and edit the whole thing on tape, maybe I will do the next digitally, because maybe the quality will become less obvious between tape and film.
~By Michael Apted ~
Now, the impact on export markets - we export about 10 percent of what we produce, so obviously that will probably have some impact on the market. At this point it's too early to determine how much.
~By Ann Veneman ~
Obviously, the hit singles get the biggest reaction - that's when you can see people really getting excited.
~By Kathy Valentine ~
Because when you have millions of people with this kind of need for gratification, and the culture is saying that it's possible for everyone to satisfy all of their needs and desires all of the time, there are obviously going to be clashes - clashes of ego.
~By Taylor Hackford ~
This technology will obviously become more prevalent. Who knows what will result? One thing is certain, computer technology will revolutionize the way we tell stories as much as movie film has.
~By Chris Wedge ~
What has 'theology' ever said that is of the smallest use to anybody? When has 'theology' ever said anything that is demonstrably true and is not obvious? What makes you think that 'theology' is a subject at all?
~By Richard Dawkins ~
I was working with Bill Graham management at the time and it was obvious to everyone concerned that albums like Open Fire, while they were good for me creatively, were not going to be commercially successful.
~By Ronnie Montrose ~
Never assume the obvious is true.
~By William Safire ~
When science and the Bible differ, science has obviously misinterpreted its data.
~By Henry M. Morris ~
I don't use sex to sell records, obviously, but I'd be lying if I said that I don't feel like I have to make an effort to look good when I go out onstage, to wear something pretty.
~By Vanessa Carlton ~
But I enjoyed getting sick, I didn't mind it at all. So in that short amount of time, I did actually go from 121 right back up to 180, which is way too fast obviously. And that resulted in some doctors visits to get things sorted out.
~By Christian Bale ~
Well, obviously I was excited by the idea that Woody Allen was going to direct it. But at the same time, the script itself and the character was really interesting.
~By Radha Mitchell ~
If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously.
~By Stefan Edberg ~
I really fancy Harrison Ford. I've got to say I think he's really divine. He's, like, an older man, I guess, although he's not really that old, obviously. I don't want to offend him.
~By Minnie Driver ~
Obviously the more pucks you get to the net, the more the percentages go up.
~By Greg Moore ~
My other Main Man is Muhamed Ali, for the obvious reasons.
~By Randy Castillo ~

~By David Chalmers ~
Each man has an equal social right to multiply his power of motion by all the social factors of civilization. Private property in any of these factors is inconsistent with this fundamental right; it must, obviously, prove a source of economic despotism and industrial slavery.
~By Daniel De Leon ~
Obviously dunking on Horace Grant and Michael, in those circumstances, is just an incredible thing to happen. I'm happy I was able to make that play, and I'm fortunate I was in that position where I could make that happen for my team.
~By John Starks ~
Ulysses, obviously. It was an elaborate prank, and our supposed intellectual elite continue to fall for it.
~By Orson Scott Card ~
I remember Tim telling me that he had an idea for a musical and he said to me that he was hoping that ABBA would be writing the music, which I thought was a pretty wild idea because they were obviously known very much as pop writers.
~By Elaine Paige ~
Obviously, every child should be given the best possible opportunity to acquire literacy skills.
~By Hugh Mackay ~
They made me use an accent, which I wasn't thrilled about because a lot of us, obviously, don't have them.
~By Rita Moreno ~
No I don't think it was a myth at all, anymore than what the recession that the whole country was experiencing was a myth, which obviously seems like it's going to get worse and worse.
~By Lester Bangs ~
I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.
~By Jimmy Page ~
I hadn't given much thought to the prospect of a Hugo nomination at the time it happened, but obviously once you're nominated, winning one seems a bit less far-fetched than before.
~By Greg Egan ~
Bush is good at stating the obviously untrue.
~By Eleanor Clift ~
The only positive finding which could be drawn from the first series, was the conclusion that the relationships obviously had a more complicated lay-out than had been thought, for the effects were so varied that no obedience to any law could be discovered.
~By Walter Rudolf Hess ~
You have to pretend to live in those clothes that they lived in, to live within the climate that they had then. You have to imagine with the help, obviously, of all the other technicians that are around - the writer, the director, the other actors.
~By Derek Jacobi ~
It is pretty obvious that the debasement of the human mind caused by a constant flow of fraudulent advertising is no trivial thing. There is more than one way to conquer a country.
~By Raymond Chandler ~
I really liked them, not just Syd, but all of them. Roger was very important, I thought, his contribution. And so was Rick's organ playing. It was a good band. It became something else completely, obviously.
~By Robert Wyatt ~
We have the best driver in the world in drifting and best guy in rally racing and stuff like that. So obviously there's a lot of stuff that I didn't do, but there's a lot of really incredible things that I don't think we've ever seen an actor do.
~By Sean William Scott ~
Obviously, the most memorable has a lot to do with the time spent on the matter, and the Westerfield and Peterson cases are up at the top of the list.
~By Catherine Crier ~
If I had to compare any of the two, I'd compare the first one in Edmonton, the first one here in New York because it had been so long in New York since we had won. Obviously, being the first time to ever win the cup in Edmonton, they were fairly similar in that regard.
~By Mark Messier ~
I think it's a great document of John Stevens' originality. At that time he was already much more fully formed in his conception than I was. I was sort of struggling to keep up, and sometimes it's pretty obvious.
~By Evan Parker ~
Magazines and advertising are flogging the idea that you have to keep changing things and get something new. I think that's balls - evil. But obviously that's your livelihood.
~By Robin Day ~
Ummm... well, the only thing I want to do is stuff with people who care about what they're doing, which sounds obvious, but it's really not.
~By Joseph Gordon-Levitt ~
The events with Henry III happened, obviously the way it happened, liberties were taken.

But once you allow yourself to recognize necessity, you find two things: One you find your options so restricted that the only course of action is obvious, and, two, that a great sense of freedom comes with the decision.
~By Steven Brust ~
Syria and Iran have always had a pretty tight relationship, and it looks to me like they just cooked up a press release to put out to sort of restate the obvious. They're both problem countries; we know that. And this doesn't change anything.
~By Mitch McConnell ~
Let us beware of common folk, of common sense, of sentiment, of inspiration, and of the obvious.
~By Charles Baudelaire ~
If you know somebody is going to be awfully annoyed by something you write, that's obviously very satisfying, and if they howl with rage or cry, that's honey.
~By A. N. Wilson ~
Celebrity - I don't even know what that means. Obviously it's the same basic word as celebration, but I don't know what's being celebrated.
~By James Woods ~
I think at that time I obviously wasn't aware of what I really needed. But conversely, my wanting to prove something to everyone was beneficial 'cause if I hadn't done it then, maybe I'd never have done it.
~By Rick Allen ~
If a foreign country doesn't look like a middle-class suburb of Dallas or Detroit, then obviously the natives must be dangerous as well as badly dressed.
~By Lewis H. Lapham ~

~By Rudolf Hiferding ~
There is some reason, obviously, that you are drawn to your material, but the way in which you explore it might come to be quite different from what you would expect.
~By Ann Beattie ~
I'd much rather do an obviously commercial writing project than get a day job.
~By Poppy Z. Brite ~
They tend to be pretty abstract ones then, like doing what will have the best consequences; obviously you wouldn't specify what consequences are best, they may be different in some circumstances, so at a lower, more specific level, you may well get differences.
~By Peter Singer ~
When we violate the law ourselves, whatever short-term advantage may be gained, we are obviously encouraging others to violate the law; we thus encourage disorder and instability and thereby do incalculable damage to our own long-term interests.
~By J. William Fulbright ~
We're obviously going to spend a lot in marketing because we think the product sells itself.
~By Jim Allchin ~
Is the U.S. better or is the world better? Is the U.S. better off today than we were four years ago? Obviously not, economically not. I think our stature in the world is not the same.
~By Montel Williams ~
And of course there's so much music in and around our family. I had a piano during Christmas because it's obviously useful through the season. There are so many people, songwriters, who are around.
~By Ashley Judd ~
Obviously, I have a lot of memories here... but at the same time I'm going to put all my energies into moving forward and doing my best for the Thrashers.
~By Peter Bondra ~

Dali had a good sense of humor - obviously you could tell just looking at him; he was funny.
