I played Big Brother in a Studio One presentation of ‘1984,’ and that should have marked me as a villain to American producers. But I went straight from that to placing a saint – St, Peter in ‘The Silver Chalice,’ which may have been one of the worst movies ever made.
I’ve been to so many dos and presentation dinners and TV shows. I’ve been among all the top stars – soap stars, people from music – it’s been brilliant. But I’ve kept my feet on the ground.
Maintaining the dignity of my subjects has grown to be, over the years, an imperative in my work, both in the taking of the pictures and in their presentation.
The interesting thing is I don’t get nervous for big things. I don’t know why this happens, but I will get like, puke-nervous when I’m going to do a presentation at school or go fill up my gas, but if I’m about to go on Jimmy Fallon, I am stress-free.
It isn’t that NPR is matriarchal but that it has dedicated itself to not being patriarchal in its outlook and presentation, stipulating from the outset that its headline voices would not resound across the fruited plains from big male bags of air sent from Mount Olympus.
A museum’s meticulous presentation – exhaustive captions, hushed lighting, state-of-the-art armature – creates an institutional authority that is constructed to seem impregnable.
When I made my debut, I remember bridalwear being the only thing you ever showed at a runway presentation.
I don’t believe truth is conveyed by style and presentation. I don’t think that if it was grainy and full of handheld material, it would be any more truthful.
For me, acting is a series of impressions rather than trying to find one line through to the end, which risks becoming more of a presentation.
When I’m acting, I’m in a different place, singing is the last thing on my mind, and when I’m on stage, there’s no acting at all involved, not even presentation, it’s just who I am.
What we are doing is we are putting in significant training into the people we have currently to upgrade their skill resources, upgrade the presentation resources, and upgrade what we expect from them in terms of not business as usual.
Yes, good presentation is a vehicle for enhancing people and policies. But if the presentation fails, we have to look beyond the wrapping and see what is actually contained in the package, to see the substance of it.
As both a fine artist and a graphic designer, I specialize in the visual presentation of words.
I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I’ve never been interested in that.
There are still some terrible cliches in the presentation of Indian fiction. The lotus flower. The hennaed hands. In mainland Europe, people still slap these images on my books and I go bananas.
Well, I think there’s a distinction between sexing-up the intelligence and sexing-up the presentation of the intelligence.
I like pure pro-wrestling, when it’s serious in its orientation and presentation – like it’s a legit sport with Jim Ross calling the action.
There’s no question there’s enough information available to all of us in this society for darn near anything. The problem is the quality of the information, the presentation of it… You shouldn’t have to be a lawyer.
If the Liberals’ law is passed, will sex education in the schools, including elementary grades, include the same portrayals of sexual activity which presently exist in heterosexual instruction? Will there be the same presentation of homosexual activity? Of course there will.
The funny thing is that when you have any form of presentation to your band, meaning you have the foresight to see outside of your creativity, you have a bigger vision.
I think in the end there are only 20 or 30 tenets of basic cooking. It’s going at perhaps the same issue from different angles, from different points of view, from different presentation styles, that really makes things sink in and become embedded.
It might kill you to say it, because the film really takes on the Catholic Church, but I do think there is a sort of affection for certain rituals, and an authenticity to the presentation of those rituals, in ‘Mea Maxima Culpa.’
