I wish there were two of me and 48-hour days so I could get everything done. But for me, I have to not try and think that everything has to be 100% perfect all the time and leave room for error. As long as my kids feel loved and a priority, everything really is secondary.
Work is secondary – for me, what’s important is having a close-knit family and having someone you can call family.
The engineering is secondary to the vision.
It’s such a competitive industry. Your film and work make a huge difference, but the secondary thing… your appearance… what you wear and how you are looking are also important.
Careful writing is important for many reasons, not least that intelligent but hurried reporters will trust the presser, resulting in a cascade of secondary damage.
I feel like when the secondary plays well, I feel it kind of trickles down to the linebackers, the D line.
Education around entrepreneurship should start early, at secondary level, and be very robust by college level.
I was not much interested in school, and both at secondary school and at university, I only just scraped through, with as little effort as I judged possible without failing.
I would say that something important for me and for my generation in Northern Ireland was the 1947 Education Act, which allowed students who won scholarships to go on to secondary schools and thence to university.
Many novelists take well-defined, precise characters, whose stories are sometimes of mediocre interest, and place them in an important historical context, which remains secondary in spite of everything.
What matters is whether the audience likes the film or not. Everything else is secondary.
Hey, every once in awhile the secondary form works better than the original but it’s certainly a rarity.
At age 11 in 1960, I moved to an academic state secondary school, Harrow County Grammar School for Boys.
I go back to my secondary school to speak to the people there and say, ‘If you want to become something, don’t ever hesitate, don’t ever feel like you can’t do it. Just look at my path, look at where I’ve come.’
It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.
I was a very anxious kid. I was bullied at primary school and responded by making myself as anonymous as possible at secondary school.
Retain the vision for space exploration. If we turn our backs on the vision again, we’re going to have to live in a secondary position in human space flight for the rest of the century.
There’s no dancing girls. We’re kinda like secondary to the thing. It’s a story about these two guys that are in love with this one girl and how it unfolds and what happens.
I had three brilliant English teachers at secondary school. They found the writer in me.
The music became secondary to being rock stars.
We have a lot of secondary market problems in the U.K.; it’s really bad there. And lots of artists are starting to participate in it, because they put the tickets up at a certain price, then the tickets get marked up by the secondary sellers, and someone else gets twice as much as you.
I love actors, and I love the casting process. It’s funny, like, some writers don’t like actors because, I think, they are the faces of the show, and so you feel sort of secondary, but I love actors because they elevate the material; they make it better.
There are plenty of secondary characters that I had always hoped to write, but I don’t know if it will ever happen. The way contracts work, if you leave one publishing house for another, the characters tend to stay with the previous publishing house.
TV drama – not always, but on the whole – were pretty appalling and very secondary, too. No one expected it to be like watching a movie; that was the point. But I think when you start watching ‘Vikings,’ it is like watching a movie – you’re taken somewhere else.
Growing up, I was your classic Catholic Irish kid. I went to mass every Sunday. Then in secondary school I went to boarding school, and there was mass seven days a week before breakfast – it may have put me off!
When I moved to Sheffield and went to a secondary modern in the Seventies, there were certain challenges: if you’ve got a name like Sebastian, you either learn to fight or to run.
I really didn’t enjoy myself at secondary school, but the one thing I did leave with was eight fantastic, beautiful, brilliant, amazing girlfriends.
To allot God a secondary place in life was, to me, inconceivable. Though He is the sole Owner of the cosmos, silently showering us with gifts from life to life, one thing yet remains which He does not own, and which each human heart is empowered to withhold or bestow – man’s love.
I think the most important thing that comes out of the meeting between Churchill and Roosevelt in early 1942 is a commitment on Roosevelt’s part to fight Europe first. To struggle first against Germany and put Japan and the Pacific as a secondary theatre in the conflict. And this is what Churchill was after.
I studied secondary education.
George and I met in 1975 at Bushey Meads secondary school in Bushey, Hertfordshire. I was in my second year – self-confident, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and excitable. He was the new boy and I was keen that I should get to look after him.
When you suffer a tragedy, the secondary loss of having it bleed into other areas of your life is so real.
I had a difficult start to secondary school, missing the first month because of ‘Mary Poppins.’ Everyone knew who I was, who my brother was – McFly were huge by then – and had made their mind up about me. One girl made everyone’s life a misery, picking on insecurities. But that’s just teenagers.
Fascinated by history during my secondary education, then by physics and mechanics at the Ecole Polytechnique, I finally entered the national administration of mines in 1936.
It isn’t that I don’t tackle issues; it’s just that they’re secondary to giving somebody an escape route from the banal routine of everyday life.
My first job now is as a mother, everything else is secondary. My kids understand that I am an actress, and they are always so surprised to hear my voice on a cartoon character, or see my face on a video box. If it ever gets to be too much though, the career and the kids, I will simply set the career aside.
Most of all, a good maths education encourages students to embrace difficult problems, not shy away from them. In my opinion, the problem is that most UK secondary schools don’t stretch good mathematicians and therefore fail to turn them into excellent mathematicians.
I love the physicality of my job and how my mind and body are most happy when I’m expressing and moving. My face was always secondary to body alignment and the dynamism of making a moment come alive.
I’ve always been more in control of my professional life than my personal life. Although I’m a strong woman, when I fall in love I just give myself 100 percent. I become secondary.
I never had any hang-ups about playing a secondary role.
When I had a mental breakdown I was 26 and the most important thing before that was my work. And I still adore it. But it was all that mattered and everything else was secondary: my relationship, my family, my own health.
I am honoured to join education innovators like Ms. Vicky Colbert, Dr. Madhav Chavan, and Sir Fazle Hasan Abed as the fourth WISE Prize for Education Laureate. I accept this prize on behalf of the million girls Camfed is committed to supporting through secondary education.
I’m interested in getting deep into a person’s consciousness and doing so in ways in which the narrator is secondary to the character’s own thoughts.
Always feeling secondary and just being a voice rather than known as the song writer and artist… it’s been a challenge to even get music videos of most of the features I’m on, so I’m pleased people are starting to recognise me as an artist in my own right.
We’re all going to eventually, even in the developed world, going to have to lose everything that we love. When you’re beginning to rot a little bit, all of the videos crammed into your head, all of the extensions that extend your various powers, are going to being to seem a little secondary.
Cinema is not about wearing ‘bikni’ and showing ‘six packs’… All these are secondary.
Best and I worked in the sub-basement of the old medical building day and night. Time, meals, sleep – all were of secondary consideration. We had to get insulin into a form that was refined enough for continued clinical use.
I never went to drama school, but I was really lucky in that both my junior school and secondary school had brilliant drama departments.
Growing up in the Soviet Union, ballroom dancing wasn’t the coolest thing to do. But that probably made me tougher, because it wasn’t an easy task to do ballroom dancing and not get bullied. And I never got bullied in my life, even though I changed to five secondary schools in three different countries.
In the second season, usually television shows are running with the characters; they really get them. And then, the third season, they can push characters and really explore secondary storylines and things like that. And so I tend to like third seasons of most shows.
