I’ve been accused countless times of writing gloomy futures. But to me, the texture of my sci-fi just feels like an extrapolation of current trends.
When I do my own hair, I love Oribe Texture spray and Redken dry shampoo whenever I’m in a rush. It gives it texture and makes it look clean!
When we design for non-Latin, we always aim to create a rhythm and texture that is sympathetic so when you have the two scripts running side by side, they create, ideally, the same tonal value on the page.
By questioning the very concept of a normal standard, especially as it applies to beauty and to hair type or texture, we can begin to see how arbitrary, narrow, and potentially destructive it is and course-correct ourselves on a path to where everybody gets love.
While I was shooting for ‘NH10,’ my hair had to look dirty in the film. To improve the texture… quality of hair, I had to use a lot of conditioner.
I love the texture of my skin and I love my freckles and even if my nose gets a little red, I don’t mind so much.
I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it… I always want to see the third dimension of something… I want to come alive with the object.
Pureed soups kinda suck. By definition, they have one flavor and one texture, a visual blank space where something much more interesting should be.
I think we love bacon because it has all the qualities of an amazing sensory experience. When we cook it, the sizzling sound is so appetizing, the aroma is maddening, the crunch of the texture is so gratifying and the taste delivers every time.
You start realizing that good prose is crunchy. There’s texture in your mouth as you say it. You realize bad writing, bland writing, has no texture, no taste, no corners in your mouth. I’m a great believer in reading aloud.
Normally, making polenta means having a convenient excuse to use all the butter, milk, and Parmesan in my fridge. Using miso and water instead builds tons of flavor but keeps the texture light.
I think what really stays with me is the idea that you can write music about the texture of a wall, and everything is in some way connected.
Everyone makes pesto in a food processor. But the texture is better with a mortar and pestle, and it’s just as fast.
I would say Alison Krauss was a big influence. Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill. I loved, growing up, female voices with a lot of texture and a lot of character to their voices.
I am inspired by anything beautiful. Sometime it’s a pair of eyes or flowing gorgeous hair, other times it’s the sky or a sunset. I’ve been inspired by supple skin or the texture of a soft shirt.

I need to see my own beauty and to continue to be reminded that I am enough, that I am worthy of love without effort, that I am beautiful, that the texture of my hair and that the shape of my curves, the size of my lips, the color of my skin, and the feelings that I have are all worthy and okay.
Rice and vermicelli is a common combination in Arab and Turkish cooking – it has a lighter texture than rice on its own.
I didn’t know too much about his comic book history. I know that in ‘Teen Titans,’ he’s much more the comedic relief. But after reading the comic book iteration of Cyborg in ‘The New Teen Titans’ from the 1980s that Marv Wolfman and George Perez had worked on, I saw that there was a lot of texture to the character.
What I enjoy most about being on stage is that the natural instruments give you a greater freedom with texture. When you use natural instruments they have their own resonance.
When I was younger, I went through a phase when I didn’t like my hair. Because the school I went to was primarily Caucasian, there wasn’t anyone who had my hair texture. I remember one day I straightened my hair, and that was the first day that people gave me compliments on it.
Artists are losing the choice to use film. People have a love for it – the grain, how it feels, the texture.
My hair is super fine, so I love using Batiste Dry Shampoo to give it volume after I shower and dry my hair. It also gives me extra body and texture for when I choose to wear my hair in a French braid.
Every company has its own texture, vocabulary, and singular place in dance history, and I have always wanted to share my perspective of these world renowned institutions.
Any good broadcast, not just an Olympic broadcast, should have texture to it. It should have information, should have some history, should have something that’s offbeat, quirky, humorous, and where called for it, should have journalism, and judiciously it should also have commentary. That’s my ideal.
Living in a rural setting exposes you to so many marvelous things – the natural world and the particular texture of small-town life, and the exhilarating experience of open space.
I don’t believe any lip shade is off-limits, but texture is key. A sheer lipstick in a healthy pink or neutral color looks more polished and grown-up than a super-shiny gloss.
In the bit of painting that I’ve done, I’m interested in colour and texture. I’m very interested in transparency.
I really cringe at the sight of pattypan squash. So pretty and cute and having no taste or exciting texture. Dull.

The friends whom I have are invaluable, and although not numerous they are sufficient for my enjoyment; and the texture of my own mind renders me very indifferent to the rest of the world.
The key characteristics of a tempura-style batter are extreme lightness of color and texture: Good tempura should be pale blond with an extraordinarily lacy, light, and crisp coating.
One of my favorite ways to use cilantro is in a beautiful clear soup with monkfish and lime. It’s a great dish for cooler weather, especially because monkfish is very good in fall and winter. Also, I like the meatiness and rich texture of monkfish.
I used to get perms to straighten my hair and change the texture.
Giving nuts and seeds a few minutes in the oven deepens their flavors and improves their texture – and it provides more even cooking than the stovetop.
A dish should have flavor, texture, appearance and smell, but I’m doing it differently. We take Chinese food, play with your sentiments, memories of it, and then take you to the border; you won’t fall over the edge, but you get excitement.
Sea spaghetti looks like dark fettuccine and has a similar texture – you can get it in health food stores or online.

The more you mess with texture and colour, the worse your hair is going to feel.
Once I learned that some hydrating oil or cream was good for my hair, I thought I should use a lot. So I poured practically a bottle on my head once and learned real fast that more isn’t always better. I was so greasy, and it ruined my texture!
I’ve lived in New York when I’ve had nothing, and I’ve lived in New York when I had money, and New York changes radically depending on how much money you have. It’s the texture of life.
Anytime I see an unusual combination of colors or patterns or texture, I buy it.
In my case, vertical food was less about standing things up than layering things: more an attempt to gain texture by weaving things together.
The thing that makes vivid writing is when the reader is in the body of the story, the body of the character. Things smell like something; there’s weather, there’s texture, there’s light.
For styling, I don’t like a lot of mousse. I do use Sally Hershberger’s Texture Blast, which is like a hair spray, but just at the roots. I have really good hair, and I don’t like to plaster it.
If you taste something, you’re not at the maximum of your ability. What I think about in competition is temperature and texture. It has nothing to do with taste or emotion.
The texture my hair, my skin tone; it does work, you don’t have to change. But historically we’ve seen fashion try to change that: straighten your hair, thrown on a super straight silky wig, lighten your skin tone.
Memory is quite central for me. Part of it is that I like the actual texture of writing through memory.
Encountering a real place enhances the performances of actors in subtle ways and changes the spiritual texture of the film.
Manouri is a Greek ewes’ milk cheese that’s light in colour and texture. It’s fresh and milky, and goes well with other subtle flavours.
For me, there’s something likable but not quite lovable about poached fish: the ultraclean flavor, the melt-away texture, the no-fat virtuousness.
Good-quality protein is very hard to come by in prison. Tuna is good, but tuna doesn’t have texture. Mackerel is meaty.
One might enumerate the items of high civilization, as it exists in other countries, which are absent from the texture of American life, until it should become a wonder to know what was left.
