I save everything up until Sunday night because if I start sending emails on Saturday afternoon, then people have to start responding to me on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.
What’s incredible about ‘Hamilton,’ and the reason you can’t get a ticket, is because everyone’s responding to it. Everyone is seeing a bit of themselves in it.
Because a human being is endowed with empathy, he violates the natural order if he does not reach out to those who need care. Responding to this empathy, one is in harmony with the order of things, with dharma; otherwise, one is not.
At a Metro station, I got called out by my character name – Meera – and I realised that I had started responding to that quite intuitively. It was quite a funny moment.
I am very different to how people think I am. It’s the characters I play that they are responding to.
I love test screenings. Some directors don’t, I know. But I love it. I think it’s because I come from the theatre and in the theatre, previews are where you really have to listen to the audience and really feel how they’re responding. I found our test screenings incredibly useful.
In a way, I have to have a dictatorship. I can’t be told that I’m wrong. That conflicts with what I was saying earlier about listening. It isn’t to do with receiving criticism and responding to other views, it’s who has that last decision.
When you’re doing a play you get to go full speed ahead, all night, in front of an audience. It’s a roller-coaster ride, responding to other actors, it feeds you.
I absolutely want and prize and love and revere every single media review I get, but if I got 50 reviews from major newspapers and one review from Amazon, I still would feel a little weird: ‘What’s going on? Why aren’t people responding?’
As one of the biggest international donors in the fight against malaria, the U.K. is already playing its part in responding to this challenge.
If we can provide even a few months of early warning for just one pandemic, the benefits will outweigh all the time and energy we’re devoting. Imagine preventing health crises, not just responding to them.
We need a T governance structure capable of responding to the depth of our regional transportation crisis while tearing down silos that keep municipal leaders and state officials from working together with urgency on shared goals.
The reason why I buy into the Democratic Party more than the Republican Party is because there are over 2,000 verses of Scripture that deal with responding to the needs of the poor.
We have found that the Ministry of Defence was slow in responding to the threat of improvised explosive devices and that delays in providing adequate medium-weight protected patrol vehicles should not have been tolerated.
If I spent my career responding to critics, I’d never be where I’m at right now.
If you gauge how you’re doing on whether somebody is responding vocally or not, you’re up a creek. You can’t do that; you kind of have to be inside of your work and play the scene. And tell the story every day. Tell the story. Tell the story. Regardless of how people are responding, I’m going to tell the story.
In country music, there are certain female artists, like Gretchen Wilson, where you’re going to find lesbians because they’re responding to that more aggressive side.
I was active on Facebook for a while, responding to comments and thanking fans for their appreciation. But I found that the Facebook feed was numbing my emotions. I’d see an extraordinarily tragic news item, and even before I could react to it, see a hilarious meme right below it. This was confusing me.
You know, for most of its life bluegrass has had this stigma of being all straw hats and hay bales and not necessarily the most sophisticated form of music. Yet you can’t help responding to its honesty. It’s music that finds its way deep into your soul because it’s strings vibrating against wood and nothing else.
Responding to terrorism inevitably implies military consequences. This may shock some people, but these groups must also be dealt with on a military footing. I won’t use the word ‘combat’ to avoid being painted as a crusader.
If, at a party, I say I’m a poet, people have a hard time responding, almost as if I’d said I’m a priest.
My parents are musicians. I was listening to the radio and recording songs off the radio on cassette tapes and playing guitars and pianos. Just emotionally responding to music from a very young age.
Emphasizing effort gives a child a variable that they can control. They come to see themselves as in control of their success. Emphasizing natural intelligence takes it out of the child’s control, and it provides no good recipe for responding to a failure.
With a crisis as complex as coronavirus, multiple government agencies and departments are involved in responding. There needs to be one qualified and experienced person who will make sure every relevant cabinet secretary, agency director and policy advisor are on the same page – day in and day out.
Not a day goes by when we’re not grateful to see that viewers seem to be responding.
But I did go to music really early on, even when I was 4 or 5, I was responding to music probably in ways other kids were not.
In responding to a terrorist attack, there are only two choices – take the fight to the enemy or wait until they hit you again. In my estimation, America chose the first.
I know how men think when they’re not responding to questions in a clinical study.
When I first started tweeting, I was just doing it because I was watching ‘Breaking Bad’ in my trailer and I was so scared by the assassinating cousins. And when people started responding to me, I realized it was like I wasn’t watching it alone.
Do not feed the trolls! Racist commenters usually troll the Internet looking for people of color to harass online. If you avoid responding, oftentimes they will get bored and move on.
I’m always getting texts asking why I’m not responding on Instagram or Facebook, and I’m like, ‘It’s not me. You’re writing to some stranger.’
The role of a liberal arts college within a university is to be a genuine part of that university, giving and responding to the other parts.
To me, it is not necessarily you responding that trolls want: they want to scare, they want to intimidate, and they want to silence people – so ignoring it doesn’t make a difference.
Each day, millions of police officers do the selfless work of putting their lives on the line to protect civilians, frequently responding to or preventing crises completely with no recognition.
Making something and sending it out into the world and then people not only responding to it but adopting it for their own and making a separate thing for it, that’s beautiful. It just shows you how much you can affect other people… the butterfly effect of everything you put out into the world.
In 1975, no State or Church guidelines existed in the Republic of Ireland to assist those responding to an allegation of abuse against a minor. No training was given to priests, teachers, police officers or others who worked regularly with children about how to respond appropriately should such allegations be made.
The Democratic Party is on the move across the country. Voters are responding to our message of progress and fiscal responsibility.
We must remember that democracy works when given time to develop, mature and deliver. People must have access to information for informed debate. Government institutions must treat citizens fairly, and with dignity, while responding to their needs.
I enjoy being on stage with other artists. I have a chance to watch and see people responding to the other artists songs. I get to see how people are affected by the music.
What do you think is the world’s most recognisable container of information? It’s the human face. We are constantly reading each other and responding.
But I warn my colleagues that we will fail in our efforts to protect the homeland if we do not take additional steps to avoid a trade-off between protecting ourselves against terrorists attacks and preparing for and responding to natural disasters.
Responding to a natural disaster is a complex problem.
‘Free Solo’ has got nothing to do with politics, so to speak, but why are audiences responding to it in the degree that they did? I think it’s because we give people an opportunity to see someone. Also, he’s able to connect when you don’t think he could connect. It’s a respite.
The protagonist in ‘Winter’s Bone’ was a really good role for a female. She was strong; she didn’t have to conform to something or be a sidekick to any man. That’s part of what you’re responding to; it’s a woman-centric situation. Her value in the film was not reliant on any man.
One of the first places where I started to respond to song lyrics was in reggae music. A lot of what I was responding to were references to the Old Testament. It was not that I had to adapt the lyrics to the sound. Reggae and the Old Testament are bound up together. There wasn’t anything that I had to do.
Once we start collecting, the more you have, the more it gets valuable and that will stop us from responding to the present and taking on new ideas what the artists are doing now.
The nightmare reviewer is the reviewer who has some sort of agenda that precludes him or her responding sincerely to the book. Often, that agenda is seeming clever and/or taking someone who has received more than her fair share of attention down a notch.
