With Pavement, we had no managers and never had a lawyer. We got lucky with not signing any bad deals. Stephen Malkmus
Stand up comedy can be a tough world to break into. It can take years of painful soul searching, disappointing performances, and pounding the pavement day in and day out with very little reward. Sarah Cooper

All I’ve done is work… I arrived in Los Angeles in my early 20s and I’ve been pounding the pavement ever since. Jeremy Piven

Hip-hop is about the brilliance of pavement poetry. Michael Eric Dyson
It was so quiet that morning in Paris that the heels of my two companions and myself were loud on the deserted pavements. It was a city of shuttered shops, and barred windows, and deserted avenues. Philip Gibbs
My varying pairs of legs can be quite practical or quite impractical, and I don’t judge them either way. Some are for getting around a 12-hour day, pounding the pavement, and some are to feel like I can transform my own body into a workable, changing piece of art. Aimee Mullins
I’d love to retire somewhere like Winchester, where you have one foot on the pavement but a sense of being in the country as well. Hugh Bonneville
Part of the challenge of Most Wanted is trying to become the most notorious street racer on the pavement. Josie Maran
In London, people can be so… well, it’s not even a case of people being unkind or unfriendly. You just don’t make any contact in London. You go from A to B with your eyes on the pavement. Carey Mulligan
In rally, you come over a hill, full-lock drift, between a gate. You’ve got a 100-foot cliff on one side, you might have trees on the other, you might have busted out lights and you gotta figure out how to make that work. Could be snowing, could be raining, could be mud, could be pavement – you might have them all the same day. Travis Pastrana

How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life? Charles Lindbergh
Data is the fabric of the modern world: just like we walk down pavements, so we trace routes through data, and build knowledge and products out of it. Ben Goldacre

Dirt has given me a really good car control ability, but it would have been an easier transition if I’d been racing pavement my whole life. But off-road has given me such a good foundation for car control when the car is loose, because the competitions are so intense – basically 30 minutes of utter chaos. Hailie Deegan
Around ’93, the radio started playing ‘Loser’ by Beck and ‘Cut Your Hair’ by Pavement, and then I got way into Pavement. That was kind of a gateway drug into indie rock. I got all their B-sides, and I got that ‘Hey Drag City’ comp, so I got into all those Drag City bands. Kurt Vile
In the beginning, because of the Pavement thing, we were able to sell a certain amount of records. We were able to sell not such a great amount of records, but enough to live on. So there was no incentive to do what didn’t come naturally. David Berman
‘Summer Babe’ is the start of Pavement front-loading their albums with the catchiest song first. Stephen Malkmus
I started my company with no previous experience in jewelry, or business for that matter! I pounded the pavement, learned as I went, and I feel so lucky to have received mentorship from some truly remarkable people. Jennifer Meyer
Controversy seems to be a by-product of what I do, rather like offence is the by-product of a dog urinating on the pavement. It just happens. Stewart Lee

The human animal originally came from out-of-doors. When spring begins to move in his bones, he just must get out again. Moreover, as civilization, cement pavements, office buildings, radios have overwhelmed us, the need for regeneration has increased, and the impulses are even stronger. Herbert Hoover
I wouldn’t consider retiring to India: there are too many people, and it’s difficult walking along the pavements. I’d love to spend two or three months a year there. Miriam Margolyes
The mistake British comedians often make is trying to beat the Americans at their own game – getting visiting American singers on their shows, talking about ‘sidewalk’ instead of ‘pavement,’ sitting on high stools in a white dinner jacket doing ballads. That way, you simply end up with a mid-Atlantic mishmash. Benny Hill
I want my audience to be constantly captivated, bewitched, so that it leaves the theatre dazed, stunned to be back on the pavement. Francois Truffaut
And I went to New York and died; for 10 years I walked those pavements. I can’t think of New York without feeling uncomfortable and feeling like a failure. Harvey Korman
When I was growing in the Callope project, we had an oval parkway. Pavement ran around this whole thing. We’d skate or ride bicycles. There were benches and trees out there. It was paradise to us. They finished building it the same year I was born. Aaron Neville

The only way to amuse some people is to slip and fall on an icy pavement. E. W. Howe
It’s like I was always not quite sure even how to move in space somehow; I would watch people and then copy them. I found it really hard to walk straight. My brother was always on at me for walking off the pavement. I guess I always expected people to bring me back into line. Binyavanga Wainaina
The great doctors all got their education off dirt pavements and poverty – not marble floors and foundations. Martin H. Fischer
Unlike running on a road or concrete, natural surfaces are more forgiving and offer a more varied terrain, ultimately resulting in less repetitive micro-trauma to bones and joints than running on hard pavement does. Dean Karnazes
Standing on soil feels so much different than standing on city pavement; it lets you look inward and reflect and see who you really are, while you see a beautiful, unspoiled land as far as the eye can see. It allows your inner life to grow. Ricardo Montalban
When you look for the environment, you find things that are in it: a hammer, a smartphone, some rusty nails, a shed, a spider, some grass, a tree. So there is a big difference between environmentality and Nature. Nature is definitely something you can point to: it is ‘over yonder’ in the mountains, in my DNA, under the pavement. Timothy Morton
Music is my love and to me acting is more mercenary. I don’t pound the pavements for roles: if it happens, it happens. I hate that auditioning thing. David Johansen

I trip over my legs all the time. I’ll wave to somebody, look up, and end up eating pavement. Maggie Grace
Commuting in a wheelchair is not easy. I live in a very old part of Rome. These cobbles everywhere… terrible! In London, it is the same. Every pavement is uneven. Bernardo Bertolucci
Everybody talks like they’re gonna knock me out. ‘Greg Hardy’s a villain, I’m going to put his face on the pavement’ and blah, blah, blah. Then they go surfing for shoelaces. Greg Hardy
People think that I popped out of my mother’s womb singing ‘Chasing Pavements’. Adele
You can always recognise my restless peers and me; we are the people whose feet you hear tramping along the pavement at the other end of the phone line because we can only make calls while moving. Victoria Coren Mitchell
I don’t really listen to the radio anymore, but some of the more contemporary people I like are Stereolab, Spiritualize, Yo La Tengo and Bedhead. There are other things too, like Pavement. They’re a great band, with really good lyrics. But generally, I’m not overwhelmed by the state of indie-rock. Dean Wareham
On pavements and the bark of trees I have found whole worlds. Mark Tobey
