As it is, I’m happy that the tourism department has sent out word to agencies in Delhi asking them to help filmmakers whenever they want to shoot their film in the capital. At least, they are in favour of the filmmakers.
You turn up on set, and somebody who has come out of Oxford, has done a BBC course, is telling you how to act. You think, ‘Do me a favour. Go and make a coffee.’
Momentum is an amazing thing when it is working in your favour.
If you asked 100 women on the street who they’d like to be, I’m sure most of them would say Kirsty Wark or Germaine Greer. Yawn. Do me a favour – they’re lying.
So high do these plants stand in the favour of the Chinese gardener, that he will cultivate them extensively, even against the wishes of his employer; and, in many instances, rather leave his situation than give up the growth of his favourite flower.
Isn’t that what we come into politics for? To say to people: ‘You can do it, too – there is a chance to serve your community. There is a chance to shape it co-operatively and democratically, without fear or favour.’ And that is what I tried to do.
I’m in favour of the old roles being blurred. The old division at school where the boys did metalwork and woodwork and the girls did needlework and domestic science is awful, really – and I’m glad it’s gone.
At the end of the day, nobody will do any favour to my dad by watching his daughter’s film.
There’s another way we are getting behind business – by sorting out the banks. Taxpayers bailed you out. Now it’s time for you to repay the favour and start lending to Britain’s small businesses.
I think there are some songs that stand the test of time better than others for sure. I think some songs go out of favour; I’ll get sick of a song for a while, and I won’t play it; then it’ll make a comeback.
Barack Obama’s decision to come out in favour of gay marriage may be a historic occasion, but it is not an isolated one. His administration has been making pro-gay noises for some time; his demographic in the upcoming election is young and educated, precisely the group that favours equality for the LGBT community.
They are different footballers. For me, Cristiano has more points in his favour because he heads the ball well, he is stronger and he scores goals. Messi has quality, dribbles and scores goals. For a coach, I think Cristiano is better because he is more complete.
Professionals use ‘Strictly’ as a relaunch of flagging careers. In my year Kara Tointon won. She had been talking about giving up acting in favour of interior design, but the glitter ball led to a role as Eliza Doolittle in the West End.
An actor can never plan. You never know what can work in your favour or not and then maybe the whole dynamics can change.
The British people overwhelmingly favour big businesses and the wealthiest individuals contributing their fair share so we can invest in our schools, hospitals and services.
I am not in favour of quotas. Just put the best person into the job. It is not about gender; it is about experience, leadership and vision.
I’ve always loved watching movies and pageants. As I grew up, my dreams turned into goals and I started working towards that direction. I took one step at a time and luckily, things worked out in my favour.
Because the Spanish eat so crazily late – anybody who’s been to Spain has had the experience of sitting down at 9:30 P.M. to find themselves the first customer in the restaurant – they tend to favour an early-evening drink and a nibble to keep them going.
But we have seen amazing things, good and bad, happen in this game, so you can never take anything for granted. I certainly don’t. There are no guarantees, whether it is good bad or indifferent you just work hard to push the odds in your favour as regards myself and the team.
I beg the Most High to allow me the favour of the double reward, but if God only finds me worthy of one reward, I will accept it in all humility.
John Paul II, above all, managed to contain the huge mass of frustration, of hate that had accumulated in that region, in favour of a peaceful transition. This was, without doubt, something that changed European history.
With regard to the ballot, it is worthy of remark that no meeting has been held in favour of Reform at which the ballot has not been strongly insisted upon.
I’m in favour of a multi-polar world. I believe that every country has the right to defend its own interests.
If you’re so pro-life, do me a favour: don’t lock arms and block medical clinics. If you’re so pro-life, lock arms and block cemeteries.
Some in favour of Brexit are so fixated on leaving the E.U., they keep arguing that any attempt to change it is some form of sabotage.
Countries which favour openness and the mobility of skilled talent secure the development of more diverse and culturally rich work environments, a higher level of innovation, as well as entrepreneurship and wider international networks.
Classrooms keep getting set up more and more around the verbal and less around the kinesthetic and active. They are increasingly becoming environments that favour the girls’ brain.
I am in favour of the notion of Australia as an immigrant society.
I’m in favour of a sensible development of response units and their deployment in any circumstance where there may be a risk to the officers themselves or the neighbourhood they’re in. I’m not in favour of a blanket arming of the police.
I consider myself a writer. I don’t favour any type of writing. I sometimes wish short stories came more easily to me.
Augusta is different, there is so much knowledge, course knowledge, that you build up through the years, that definitely swings the pendulum in the favour of the experienced player.
So I’m definitely in favour of stimulating the dynamic wealth creation sectors of the economy.
If anyone has seen the horrific and unwatchable footage of the Chinese cat and dog trade – animals skinned alive – then they could not possibly argue in favour of China as a caring nation. There are no animal protection laws in China and this results in the worst animal abuse and cruelty on the planet. It is indefensible.
I believe we should support people to live, and I am therefore in favour of good quality palliative care.
I’m not a republican any more. Not so voraciously anyway – I’m not in favour of the concept of monarchy, but I do see the good in it if there’s a good person in the role.
Whenever known and sufficient causes are available, it is anti-scientific to discard them in favour of a hypothesis that can never be verified.
A catwalk show is just how it’s done; it’s just what you do – it’s central to the presentation of a collection. It will be a very brave designer who gives up the catwalk entirely in favour of a digital show.
I am in favour of a dictatorship.
Anglo-Saxon kings often used to favour their sister’s son to their own – for at least you could guarantee there was your own blood in your sister’s son!
Love me or hate me, both are in my favour. If you love me, I will always be in your heart, and if you hate me, I will be in your mind.
When I meet young girls, I’m always like, ‘Just do me one favour. Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.’
God made man in his own image, and man returned the favour.
No one questions the right of individuals to go to the Central Lobby to explain their views to their own Member of Parliament. It is important for those in power to hear arguments in favour of policies from all sides and ought to lead to better decision-making.
Why is it that the producers can do anything and get away with it, and the actors are held accountable for everything? The makers often stop actors’ payments, too. Everything is in their favour in the contract.
When the intensity of emotional conviction subsides, a man who is in the habit of reasoning will search for logical grounds in favour of the belief which he finds in himself.
Some forms of motor neuron disease are genetically linked, but I have no indication that my kind is. No other member of my family has had it. But I would be in favour of abortion if there was a high risk.
I’ve had ups and downs in my career, and if you look at it as a bookmaker, the odds of me becoming a world champion were never in my favour, but I never stopped believing in myself and never stopped trying.
All-in-one dishes are among my favourites. I’m very much in favour of using the oven as much as possible – for casseroles, roasts and other one-pot meals – rather than the hob, where dishes need much more attention.
I am in favour of a fully transferable allowance.
Mars, when guilty of homicide, and set free from the charge of murder by the Athenians through favour, lest he should appear to be too fierce and savage, committed adultery with Venus.
I am in favour of disinvestment. But if a disinvested company has to tie up with a government company for its livelihood, there is a problem.
I am rather in favour of dealing with teenage hooliganism.
The only situation that I can’t be in favour of is the lack of respect to human rights in Venezuela.
I’m in favour of entrepreneurial, risk-taking businesses that create great products and services.
Demographers affirm that choosing to have a second child is already a potential choice in favour of a third.
