It’s never good to turn to comparisons with Nazis.
On ‘Kaputt,’ singer-songwriter Dan Bejar reevaluates his band’s sound and drifts away from the David Bowie comparisons that have plagued even his best albums.
Whenever comparisons get too crazy I just think about my goals, and what I want from myself. I don’t look at any references.
There is an unrealistic pressure to perform like Kamal Haasan, and it’s unnatural, because he’s been in the industry for so many years, I don’t even take the comparisons seriously.
Moise Kean is Moise Kean and Lukaku is Lukaku. It doesn’t make sense to make these comparisons.
In the beginning, I thought the Federer comparisons were cool, but after a while, I wasn’t happy with it. It’s not the best thing you can hear as you’re trying to develop, as it puts extra pressure on a young kid.
I am completely fascinated by the differences and comparisons between real life and fairy tales because we’re raised as little girls to think that we’re a princess and that Prince Charming is going to sweep us off our feet.
Men have been obliged to make for themselves a notion of what religion is, long before the science of religions started its methodical comparisons.
Comparisons are really no good in sport, especially if it is a comparison between different eras and generations, for there are so many variables that come into play, starting from the quality of the opposition to playing conditions.
I’m a huge fan of ‘The Odd Couple,’ yes, and any comparisons to Tony Randall and or Jack Lemmon are completely welcome. I kind of try to channel those guys, and then add my own neuroses, too.
I don’t make much of comparisons in general, it’s not how I think people construct themselves and I don’t think it’s a healthy way of dealing with your own reality.
I was very humbled by the ‘one-man Led Zeppelin’ comparisons.
I work with young people, and I know that we must be careful. Newspaper headlines, sudden notoriety, and important comparisons can lead to confusion.
Some ‘Terminator’ fans are outraged that I’m playing Sarah Connor. They think I’m not muscly enough. To be honest, I’m a little tired of the comparisons to Linda Hamilton. I know she will always be the original Sarah Connor, but when people see what I bring to the role, they will look at her with new eyes.
Because of recent improvements in the accuracy of theoretical predictions based on large scale ab initio quantum mechanical calculations, meaningful comparisons between theoretical and experimental findings have become possible.
Yes, I’ve heard of the ‘Mad Men’ comparisons, but I like to think ‘The Hour’ has its own distinctive voice. Although it is set in 1956, I have tried to give it a contemporary edge, and its themes of love, passion, romance, fury, professional jealousy, and personal failure are universal, I think.
I’m Austin Seferian-Jenkins. He’s Tony Gonzalez. He’s the best tight end to ever play the game. So that’s a real strong comparison. I’m just going to do my job and leave the comparisons up to the coaches and the media.
It is an honour that people are comparing me to Iniesta because of everything that he has achieved. But, and I have said this before, I do not like these kinds of comparisons. Andres is Andres, and I am Isco. I am a different person and player.
I am completely fascinated by the differences and comparisons between real life and fairy tales because we’re raised as little girls to think that we’re a princess and that Prince Charming is going to sweep us off our feet.
Everywhere you look for comparisons of life under anarchy and life under government, life under government is less violent.
A lot of people say I got my own sound. I ain’t never really got no comparisons. When people hear my music, they be like, ‘He got his own lil sound.’
I’ve seen comparisons between myself and Bobby Moore. It’s nice to be told there are similarities, but nobody will come close to him – what a player, what a man!
Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.
But it really wasn’t until three to four years later, when we had an opportunity in the lab to make very detailed observations, and comparisons with other fossil discoveries, that we realized she was a new species of human ancestor.
I get a lot of Vincent Jackson comparisons, and that’s a great comparison. But I think Brandon Marshall. He’s vicious after the catch. A big, physical guy, can go up and get it, blocks real well. So I’ve modeled my game after him since high school.
Cultural comparisons are good because they can tell you about what’s similar, but also sometimes they make it easier to see obvious differences.
Picabia is a very old painter who some people try to connect me to, but I refuse such comparisons very well.
I think most couples drift apart because of comparisons. Unfortunately, in our society a perfect match is when the man is more successful than the woman.
Awards for arts, where you make comparisons, don’t make much sense.
Maryland’s different than Virginia. Maryland has certain advantages that Virginia doesn’t have and certain disadvantages… We should just worry about ourselves and not worry about comparisons.
There have been comparisons but I don’t want to be compared with anyone. I want to be myself, with my own style and identity.
I was very humbled by the ‘one-man Led Zeppelin’ comparisons.
Whenever a dope artist comes out of nowhere, the first thing you do is try and compare it to stuff until you realise that that artist is just them, and eventually those comparisons will stop.
I set out to tell my story, which is based on my family. Dr. Cosby told his story in ‘The Cosby Show.’ The comparisons stop there in terms of my creation of the show. We just both happen to have black fathers at the center of it.
Yes, I’ve heard of the ‘Mad Men’ comparisons, but I like to think ‘The Hour’ has its own distinctive voice. Although it is set in 1956, I have tried to give it a contemporary edge, and its themes of love, passion, romance, fury, professional jealousy, and personal failure are universal, I think.
When I first started pursuing acting professionally out of college, it was very much in my head that there would be comparisons with potentially both of my parents, and I found that pretty intimidating.
Men have been obliged to make for themselves a notion of what religion is, long before the science of religions started its methodical comparisons.
YouTube clips get millions, billions of hits. Reality TV programs have their own channels. How can movies attempt to compete with these kinds of numbers? And do we even need to? Are we scaring ourselves by unnecessary comparisons, by not comparing apples with apples?
I hate comparisons, just as I hated being compared to my brother and vice-versa.
Awards for arts, where you make comparisons, don’t make much sense.
Never, never, will I accept, on issues of integrity, comparisons with the Liberal party.
It’s funny. People often compare me to other humor essayists. They’re usually quite nice comparisons; I will accept those gladly. But I am always sort of appalled at the idea of being lumped with other, more chick-y female writers. And the truth is probably that neither comparison is accurate.
I think comparisons are very on the surface. If I sing, like, ‘Park Bench People,’ and there’s kind of a social undertone, people will say I sound like Gil Scott-Heron. But for me, the more insightful comparison would be a Roberta Flack or Nina Simone – people who really mix different genres of music.
I think that’s created a healthy environment. The comparisons to ‘ER’ were maddening and there was this assumption that the two of us were looking at each other with rage and resentment, which was also not the case.
You’re always going to get comparisons. Everybody comes out and says, ‘He’s the next so and so,’ or, ‘He reminds me of so and so.’ I have so many influences and stuff in my brain, who knows what’s going to pop in and come out.
I’ve seen comparisons between myself and Bobby Moore. It’s nice to be told there are similarities, but nobody will come close to him – what a player, what a man!
There’s absolutely no comparisons to me or anyone else to Willie Mays. Willie Mays, he’s the greatest baseball player of all time.
Everywhere you look for comparisons of life under anarchy and life under government, life under government is less violent.
We were in the same band, but we’re two completely different people. People have asked me to make comparisons with our albums, and I can’t, because there’s no comparison. Her album’s okay. I don’t think she’s the best singer on Earth, but she’s okay.
Honestly, I don’t really hear the comparisons to Taylor Swift anymore. I think it’s because people are finally starting to see me for who I am and my craft and not being the next Taylor.
All comparisons between America’s current place in the world and anything legitimately called an empire in the past reveal ignorance and confusion about any reasonable meaning of the concept empire, especially the comparison with the Roman Empire.
Comparisons are really no good in sport, especially if it is a comparison between different eras and generations, for there are so many variables that come into play, starting from the quality of the opposition to playing conditions.
