The old Rankin-Bass animated specials seemed to exist in a loosely shared reality, which is what attracted me to them. Santa, Snow Miser, Rudolph, Frosty, even the Easter Bunny seemed to be on nodding acquaintance with each other, even if only in cameo appearances in each other’s cartoons.
I am 33 years of age. I have 500 or 600 appearances. I know what I have done in football. I know how hard I have to work to be in this position.
Anyway, in the mid 80’s I was spending a fortune buying old Golden Age books from the late 30’s and 40’s and I was making personal appearances at a lot of sci fi and comic book conventions all around the country here so that I could find books for my collection.

I’m a businessman and actor and I still make appearances.
She was making great money at personal appearances.
I still find doing portraits a terrific challenge, but even though I’ve done hundreds of them, I’ve never stopped questioning the very nature of portraiture because it deals exclusively with appearances. I’ve never believed people are what they look like and think it’s impossible to really know what people are.
I’m totally Italian, but I’m not a diva. If you could see the way I’m dressed in daily life, that’s not a diva. Appearances are so not important to me.
You can be 19 or 20 and playing reserve team football, be able to say ‘I played at,’ say, ‘Manchester United,’ even though you have no actual first team appearances. But there are 19- and 20-year-olds at League Two level with 100 appearances under their belts. I know which one I’d rather be.

Sometimes interviews are fun and good conversations, but stuff like photo shoots and appearances at places where you have to meet a lot of people – I was never really made for this kind of stuff.
Give up pride for good during the holidays. This is where I’ve been especially stubborn. As I walk more and more in this path of Christianity, I see that letting my guard down and admitting that I don’t want to be alone is far better than dealing with me, myself and I, who always seem to want to keep up appearances.
I find it an effort to keep up appearances.
If I worried about appearances, I wouldn’t be at Cubs games.
For me, the Immaculate Conception is the feast of ‘passive action,’ the action that functions simply by the transmission through us of divine energy. Purity, in spite of outward appearances, is essentially an active virtue, because it concentrates God in us and on those who are subject to our influence.
It would have been a shame not to reach 300 appearances with Milan, after 12 years as a Rossonero and 126 goals.

I really wanted my fans to understand that outer appearances really don’t matter.
Never did I think I would live to see the day Jim Crow was resurrected, making repeat appearances in the South. And he has packed his bags, and he has moved North. Something is wrong.

It is interesting that our biggest fans are the greatest names of the classical music scene, such as Julian Rachlin, Janine Jansen, Mischa Maisky and Gidon Kremer. They even make guest appearances in our concerts occasionally.
I was doing commentary for the BBC and had exhibition work but if you’re not winning you are not earning as much. And when you’re seen as a successful sportsman, people assume you’re earning a good living. There was pressure on me to have the newest car, a more expensive holiday. It was all about keeping up appearances.
The truth is, I have made very few public appearances, and when I have, my parents have been very careful to allow me to have my own experience.
Much as I’m loving the ‘Strictly’ experience, I’m sure I’ll always be better known for my business career and my appearances on ‘Dragons’ Den’ than I will for my cha-cha-cha or Viennese waltz.
I travel pretty much every weekend of the summer. And then during the winter, I still do appearances and a couple contests here and there.
I love acting, though I don’t like the frills around it – red-carpet appearances, dressing up to look a certain way.
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.’
One of the best parts about my job is that I get to dress for red carpets and appearances, and I often forgo working with a stylist because fashion is half the fun of any event!
I’ve been on a lot of shows that I like, doing guest appearances and little things. I’m just trying to have fun with being retired.
I will never work merely to make a reputation for myself, to be popular for appearances rather than for what I am. My task is to lead my country through service.

Here I am getting $50,000 for personal appearances. Everyone wants a piece of me. But my kids think no one could possibly think Dad is cool.
Former Olympians also get paid to make appearances. Many of them won their medals in an era when Olympic success didn’t go hand-in-hand with financial success.
We do not see people as they are, but as they appear to us. And these appearances are usually misleading.
Appearances are not truth. But every politician knows that his or her image, as well as his or her actions, can make the difference between failure and success.
What you want to worship above youth, I think, is beauty, and beauty is so beyond just appearances after a while. Because you can be with someone who’s good-looking; if they open their mouths and they’re an idiot, then they cease to be beautiful very quickly.
In my day, 20-year-olds already had 150 first-team appearances under their belts.
I’ve lived through a lot of division championships, a lot of final-four appearances, but our goal is further than that. We want to deliver a Super Bowl.
I don’t see a full-fledged career in Hollywood. I am happy with the cameos. Even Tom Cruise will only do special appearances in our films; he wouldn’t do a full hero movie. But it’s good to act in different cinema.
The Dave Clark Five had more appearances on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ than The Beatles.

My father was the classic Puritan. Hold the emotions in check. Keep up appearances.
I would like all the trolls to look at their bodies instead of trolling others.
