Sport in itself has this power. If you are a poet or a singer, people gravitate. I may not be in the same category, but I will make a comparison with Bob Marley. So it isn’t just cricket where social commentary plays a huge part.

That’s why I train with faster guys, lighter guys, my category and with the heavyweight guys. Because I want to be ready for everything.

205 is my category. I do this all my life.

The key factor in the vodka category is smoothness, and smoothness is what our vodka has.

If I scroll down my Instagram replies, the tenth one down features a racist emoji – which is not unusual. So I follow the protocol, which is to block the user and report the message under the category of ‘hate speech and symbols.’ Then I am told that an emoji with a monkey and a banana is not considered racist.

I’m thrilled that country music fans like my stuff, but so do a lot of people outside of country music, people who just love music. My goal is more to reach music lovers than to appeal to a genre. I love country music, and I’m proud to represent it, but I don’t obsess over it as a category.

Democracy is only a dream: it should be put in the same category as Arcadia, Santa Claus, and Heaven.

Birtherism is a fringe issue that’s way out of the mainstream, and it’s disturbing when you see people you… have some level of respect for, whether it’s members of Congress or even Donald Trump, falling into that category.

Normally, if you have a huge category that leads a bear market all the way down to the bottom – like tech after 2000, or energy in the ’80-’82 bear market – you get one quick pop, and then years of lag as we fight the old war.

Bike lanes – I put that now in the category of things you shouldn’t discuss at dinner parties, right? It used to be money and politics and religion. Now, in New York, you should add bike lanes.

The funny thing is that people see one film like ‘Racing Stripes’ or ‘Ice Princess’ and all of a sudden, slip me into this category of ‘that’s what she’s always involved in.’

Some actors can distance themselves from the parts they play, but I fall into the category who use bits of themselves.

We need to make sure F1 stays the quickest category of all, and GP2 is not that far away, so that’s a little bit worrying.

I don’t think I represent some new category. I think I do represent kind of a freethinker.

In any awards ceremony, if you’re a finicky person like myself, you can pick a multitude of things to nag about. I get frustrated with the comedy category because it feels like it gets sidelined a lot of the time for all kinds of things – not sidelined, marginalized.

People always ask me, ‘Is there a rivalry between the Nickelodeon and Disney stars? Do you guys hate each other?’ Like everyone has to be on one team. If you’re a Selena Gomez fan, you can’t be a Victoria Justice fan. We’re both half-Latin, and people put us in the same category.

You talk about Shaq, I would put Tim Duncan in that same category. Mr. Fundamental, just kept things simple. He is a great teammate, a great player, and a great person. When you have those ingredients in a champion, you just want to be a part of that and have an opportunity to play with him.

Some people are born to trains, and some have trains thrust upon them. Fortunately, I can be included in this latter category.

I think all the great studio filmmakers are dead or no longer working. I don’t put myself, my friends, and other contemporary filmmakers in their category. I just see us doing some work.

I miss the comedy of the ’70s and ’80s, like ‘Only Fools And Horses’ and ‘Fawlty Towers,’ so I’m glad I’m put in that category.

One of the problems is that kids who don’t read – who are not doing well in school – they know they’re not doing well. And they want everyone to be in that same category.

I have no issue with being a character actor. If you’ve been around enough that people are able to segregate you into that category, it means you’re working. So that’s good!

I have friends who are in the posh category and some who are in the not-at-all-posh category, and some who you would find it very hard to get any sort of handle on. But I am lucky to have any friends, of course.

As a member of a generation who have been subjected to much over-stimulation, it’s hard to say I fit into any one category.

Novelists seem to fall into two distinct categories – those that plan and those that just see where it takes them. I am very much the former category.

I come from the world of theater, and I know Noel Coward’s writing well. He has such a specific voice, and was one of the wittiest writers who ever lived, and you think of him in the same category as someone like Shakespeare who’s just impossible to imitate.

I think ‘Piranha’ won’t be in the guilty-pleasure category, because it’s gonna be – well, yeah, maybe for some people. From what I’ve seen, it has a sense of humor about itself, and it’s also really scary and really, really violent. I would call it a popcorn movie from the planet Popcorn.

The young adult category is particularly interesting to me in terms of science fiction and fantasy tropes.

I think that when you use the word ‘plus-size,’ you’re putting all these women in a category: ‘You don’t eat well.’ ‘You don’t work out.’ ‘You could care less about your body.’ ‘You’re insecure.’ ‘You have no confidence.’

If you have not had direct firsthand experience of loving a category of person – a person of a different race, a profoundly religious person, things that are real stark differences between people – I think it is very hard to dare, or necessarily even want, to write fully from the inside of a person.

I didn’t fall into the category of the ‘classic Bond girl.’ I had short hair – and no Bond girl before me ever had. They put me in a wig at the beginning of the film, and then had my character cut her hair to pretend to be someone else. That was to explain why my hair was short.

Alternative accommodations is a $100 billion-plus category.

I consider myself a woman. I happen to fall into the transgender category, but I rather describe myself as a woman first.

There is no pop category, let alone any infinitely gene-sliced genre name, to contain the lead in Rihanna’s voice in ‘Needed Me.’

I don’t want to have any category stamped on my face.

In the 1980s, there was no category to stick me in. ‘He sounds too smart’ is what I was hearing. I realized that I had to become a member of the school of what I call ‘ugly acting.’ Which meant I wanted to do what Dustin Hoffman did very successfully: to play character roles, but lead character roles.

When you’re part of hip-hop culture but you’re a Christian, people want you to be either-or. Or they’ll create a category for you, like, ‘Oh, gospel rap!’

There are a couple people who have complained on other teams about some of the things that Pittsburgh players have done. Some of that goes in the category of gamesmanship. Some of that goes to the fact that we need to be vigilant as a league to make sure that players aren’t unnecessarily and inappropriately hurt.

I figured I would always be a candidate for man of the year in the virtue-is-its-own-reward category. What that did was force me to concentrate on the work.

I was never considered ‘a marketable hero’, and never got promoted to that category. I am not complaining – I found another niche – comedy – which is equally enjoyable and brought me as much comfort as I need.

There are people who intensely clutch an idea that yoga is a higher system, not to be lowered to the weight loss or even fitness category. This is the same kind of clutching that has kept yoga part of a tightly knit club for so long since its introduction in America.

I’ve always found that whatever you say about indie rock, it is the most inclusive genre or title for anything. It doesn’t pin you down too much, like other labels would. It’s just newer, it has less baggage. I’m happy to be in that category.

I just consider myself a Republican, none of this hyphenated stuff. I was a mainstream conservative Republican, and most people are in that category.

‘Honour’-based violence is a form of domestic violence. Domestic violence is a broad category.

New voices in an old art – and women poets have been that for much more than a century – do not diminish the art through the category. They enrich it. They renew it with common quandaries of craft and innovation. The category simply allows the quandaries to be seen more clearly.

I think I’m an okay parent, but I’d put myself in the category of a musician-who-happened-to-become-a-father. I’m definitely not a father-who-happened-to-be-a-musician.

I honor Billy Graham. He is a category by himself.

When I decided to launch my first knitwear line, it was because I saw a void in the basics category. The editors were always looking for cool, fashion-forward tees and sweaters. So that’s where I started.

The iPad is creating a new format for reading content. One of the things that’s happening as a result is the world of personalized news aggregators, which is a category that’s been around for quite some time, is getting new life.

I’m aware that if I make a country album and release it, and it gets on the Grammys, the Grammys are going to put it in the Urban category. Just my blackness automatically sets it in there.

The category I come closest to is ‘lumberjack hipster.’

Being someone with Latin roots, so many doors are constantly closed for you because people put you in a category, and the thing I’ve always wanted to avoid is categorisation.

No matter what their profession, there’s a certain category of men who let passion overcome reason as soon as a girl offers them her company. More often than not, they turn out to be losers.

I don’t hate homosexuals. I love them enough to tell them the truth: that God puts them in the category with other sinners.

In the budget, the president will call for a five-year freeze on discretionary spending other than for national security. This will reduce the deficit by more than $400 billion over the next decade and bring this category of spending to the lowest share of our economy since Dwight Eisenhower was president.

As a Western woman in the Middle East, I am often put in a different category. I am sort of like the third sex. I am not treated like a man. I am not treated like a woman. I am just treated like a journalist. That is usually really helpful.

I’m not too bothered about what category my music goes in and there’s no point in limiting in who you can reach, but I want it to be respected.

People look at you, and they think they know you. They think they can place you in a certain category by what they think they know about you. But there’s so much more to all of us than what we know and what we see at face value.

If there were a category in the Olympics for laundry, my mother would have been a gold-medal winner.

I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?

I like movies that don’t fit in a category. Like, ‘Get Out’ – that was one of my favorite movies in a long time, and what is that?

I am convinced that there are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked and those that will be. And even they are converging into one category: companies that have been hacked and will be hacked again.

I’m only two years older than Brad Pitt, but I look a lot older, which used to greatly frustrate me. It doesn’t anymore. I don’t have to fit into that category and get trounced by Tom Cruise and Brad.

Over the years, people have asked me, ‘Do you think there should be a separate category for acting in the digital realm? Or hybrid sort of awards for digital characters?’ and so on. And I’ve always really maintained that I don’t believe so.

People don’t call them horror movies, but Hitchcock, for me, is my favorite storyteller. He was really exploring dark themes, and I don’t know what category you put his movies in. Thriller? Horror? Some of them go in either one.

I was on ‘Junior Star Search’ when I was 10 years old, in the acting category. The adult version of ‘Star Search’ didn’t have an acting category, but for the kids, they had an acting category. It was the strangest thing. It was full blown 1980s, with big hair, mullets, and the whole deal.

Middleweight is my category.

I am very clear that I am not a feminist. It puts you into a category and I don’t like that.

I don’t really like the idea of putting myself in any category now… I think that people are looking for music that’s real and honest and that they can relate to emotionally.

Most people would put me firmly in the nerd/geek category. It wouldn’t be a change from where I’ve been put my whole life, but my place now has standing. Nerds are inexorably cool again.

It’d be great to have more categories in the rock and metal category – but I don’t want that job, picking where everybody is supposed to go.

History: the category of human phenomena which tends to catastrophe.

I was neither black enough for the black kids or Dominican enough for the Dominican kids. I didn’t have a safe category.

But so long as we can keep this crew of fantastic people together and can continue to make real breakthrough films in this category, as well as characters that stay true to what we’ve done in this first film, I’d be more than happy to be a part of it.

EpiPen is not unique. It falls into a category of old drugs, many of which should have long been subject to generic competition.

The return in the regional market is huge. But I don’t consider Yo Yo Honey Singh and Guru Randhawa under that category. They get their views from all over the world. They have a global appeal.

I’m so glad to have Xbox as a franchise, especially at a time when gaming is becoming even more important – as a digital life category and in the mobile world.

We see new things all the time. We see new retroviruses out there – which is the category that HIV falls into – and we’re very, very concerned because this is the part of the world where HIV jumped from chimpanzees to humans.

You have people who can’t act and they get all these parts. Paris Hilton falls into her own category. She’s made a career out of it.

I have written to Cabinet Minister Venkaiah Naidu to add a stuntman category in the National Awards to appreciate the work they do.

Stay-at-home mothers, working mothers, people are very tough on each other. I don’t see that in the world of men. I don’t see working men who have children, and those who don’t, judging each other. I think there’s a different category of expectation.

The YA category changes pretty fast. I’m so impressed by what these authors do.

I measure success in terms of the connection with the audience, which we’ve been able to do in spades. I mean, it’s very hard to do that. You think about it, you go back in time, you can say, ‘Well, there’s, like, ‘Saturday Night Live’ and ‘Rolling Stone’ or ‘MTV.’ I think ‘Vice’ is in that category now.

Most people in the U.K. discovered me playing a standard on Parkinson. In America, it was on VH1 singing an original called ‘All At Sea,’ which is a contemporary pop song. So the people that know me there tend to think of me in the singer/songwriter category.

They wanted to jump on their own bandwagon. Bobby Charlton had never made it as a manager. Bobby Moore hadn’t either. I think they never stopped trying to put me in the same category. That was the road they went down with me.

I do like children, but only as people. Not as if they’re a special category.

Among my books, the ones that sell best are for readers between the ages of 8 and 12. According to a study by the Association of American Publishers, the largest area of industry growth in 2014 was in the children and young adult category.

The best thing about being nominated in a category like best new play is realizing there were enough new plays to make a category.

I’m trained in mixed martial arts. I started when I was 14 and did my first competition at 18. It was a grappling competition against all guys a weight category above me, and I got first place.

I don’t think it’s anything you ever get used to… for many years, I could never sort of put my name in the same sort of category as the word ‘famous’ or anything like that. And I just found it very uncomfortable… if you get used to it, then something must be wrong.

I am not interested in changing who I am to fit someone else’s idea of what a category should be or look like.

In the category of U.S. interest, Israeli intelligence services regularly share valuable and essential information about the Middle East. As the region has all but collapsed under Obama’s leadership, Israel has been a reliable, steady, stable force in the region.

I divide criticism into two categories – one coming from those who understand music, who are worthy of being critical because they are knowledgeable about what they are saying; and then there is another category of people who would criticise you anyway, whether your work is good or bad.

I think the younger generation’s view on race is slightly more evolved. It’s a category far down on the list of how they see themselves.

There’s no such thing as ‘sissy bounce.’ We don’t separate it here in New Orleans at all. It’s just bounce music. Just because I’m a gay artist, they don’t have to put it in a category or label it.

I really love the category on the site called Brain Massage.

As much as we were very proud of being a pop band, I know we never felt like we fit into that category.

The fact that I have a Southern accent and write about a lot of rural things leads people to put me in the country category.

Country has just crossed so many lines now, that Skynyrd falls right into that category.

I was never in the top category of anything. I was never on people’s lists. I was never the potential anything!

Being a female head of a successful tech company means that I’m in a pretty niche category.

When a stranger comes into our presence, then, first appearances are likely to enable us to anticipate his category and attributes, his ‘social identity’ – to use a term that is better than ‘social status’ because personal attributes such as ‘honesty’ are involved, as well as structural ones, like ‘occupation.’

Personally, I don’t like defining myself. I don’t want to be put in one category in any kind of way.

When I first got into country, I was trying to do the traditional country thing, and I still have a heart for traditional country. But the songs I was writing just weren’t falling into that category.

Your memorabilia becomes more significant. It does put you in a different category.

It can be frustrating when you’re put in a category with others. Women do get lumped together in this reductive grouping, and you think, ‘Gosh, that rarely happens with the boys.’ I’m sure people don’t say to Eddie Redmayne, ‘How do you feel about Andrew Garfield?’

Both chronic, long-term poverty and downward mobility from the middle class are in the same category of things that America likes not to think about.

I wouldn’t say I was a massive comic fan growing up, just because I now know people that really are, and I would never claim to be in that same category.

If being an attractive woman got you attention for directing, then the entire ‘best director’ category would be comprised of models. To me, that is just the most ludicrous connection that you could make.

Museums are like sports stadiums, hotels and hospitals: they are in the category of captive-audience dining.

You never had the opportunity to play with some of the great ballplayers, but being that close around them, and being in the same category, was a great feeling, to feel that vibe of all the best players who played the game.

Ask a celebrity what social cause he or she wants to take up, and many would say utopic things. For me, however, the decision is very clear… I want to do something for children, a category of people I am genuinely fond of.

You may say, ‘Well, dragons don’t exist.’ It’s, like, yes they do – the category ‘predator’ and the category ‘dragon’ are the same category. It absolutely exists. It’s a superordinate category. It exists absolutely more than anything else. In fact, it really exists.

I think, as e-commerce grows as a category, most e-commerce companies are focused on women because they are the decision makers and the consumers. When you think of e-commerce, and fashion is a big part of that, women are much more in tune with what other women are looking for online.

Very few people get into that category of being a good grafter.

Published in 1947, ‘The Plague’ has often been read as an allegory, a book that is really about the occupation of France, say, or the human condition. But it’s also a very good book about plagues, and about how people react to them – a whole category of human behavior that we have forgotten.

There are some people who feel that they deserve a particular award or recognition, but I don’t fall in that category.

I really hate having to put ‘female’ in front of any title, because it puts us in some kind of weird category for handicapped people or something.

Yes, I would love to step outside the costume drama category and play a young urbanite, something closer to who I am.

I don’t want to say names, but there are certain companies I won’t work with because of previous people they’ve worked with. I don’t want to be put in the same category as another athlete that I don’t necessarily think is a good role model.

When we started, our style of music wasn’t on MTV. It wasn’t cool, and it wasn’t popular. The only bands who were even kind of similar were Blink-182 and Green Day. But we don’t sound like those bands, even if people throw us in that category now.

My supporters are people who believe in being fiscally responsible and socially accepting. I think most people are in that category. Speaking with a broad brushstroke, those are my supporters.

Definitely in the West, we’re all cast as the same now. Whether you’re Indian, Pakistani, Arab, Iranian, Afghan or whatever, you just get thrown into this category. And nine times out of 10, you’re depicted as bad.

I believe that if the Bible calls anything a sin, it’s listed in the same category as you would list pride, as you would list hate, as you would list any other thing.

There’s a lot of smart women doing dumb things with their health, and I fell into that category as well.

People put me in this ditzy, posh and stuck-up category, so it’s been nice the public have been able to see the real me.

Economic science concerns itself primarily with theoretical and empirical generalizations about the behavior of individuals, institutions, markets, and national economies. Most academic research falls in this category.

And for it to make the statement the way that it did, for ‘Controlled Chaos’ to debut in the Top 10 of the iTunes rock chart… We debuted behind Queen and Chris Cornell, so it’s not like we were just hidden away in the back of the instrumental metal category.

Unfortunately, making what is essentially a laser sword falls into the deadly category.

I don’t put Tesla in the Amazon category. They have not proved to me that, as a financial model and an economic model, it is going to work.

In BMX, you need an inner mongrel, something that’s a point of difference in the female category.
