If the media didn’t know I played chess, there’d be no angle on me at all.
Every man of genius sees the world at a different angle from his fellows, and there is his tragedy.
Only few people have same level as Iron Sheik – the Brock Lesnar and the Kurt Angle. Back in the day, they both be good opponent for me. They know I could break their ankle if I want.
I had a brief stint as ‘People’s Journalist’ for the West Sussex Gazette; I’d do golden-wedding anniversaries and pet deaths. I was always looking for an angle; it wasn’t great.
You feel the music needs something but you don’t know what. So you start searching, fitting, measuring, trying. Every time you try another angle. And sometimes that’s frustrating, especially if you don’t come up with something for three days.
The whole schizophrenia angle interested me. When I first started working on it, I thought I would play up that angle more than I ended up doing. The religious aspect of the story was also a draw.
When you act you realise acting is not that difficult – the other technicalities are, like the mark, angle, light, etc. So you just not have to memorise your lines but keep in mind the mark, the angle and light. It is difficult.
I like writing people from a slightly sharp angle and then throwing more light on them. I think in life we see somebody and make judgments very quickly about who they are and what they are. Or we think people are boring because they appear ordinary.
One of the reasons why I think virtual reality, as a narrative format, is never going to go beyond the short-form immersion space is because the bedrock of visual storytelling is the reverse angle. If you can’t look into the eyes of the protagonist, you cannot hold people’s attention for more than 15 minutes.
I think it always helps when you build a character, and then, you actually step into that character’s wardrobe, something else happens. Another angle of the character comes to life.
This city can be kind of brutal, so you see your dreams from every different angle, but ultimately it’s about acting and if you enjoy acting, you will always enjoy acting.
I feel comfortable in the air, me as a person. I feel very in control of my body. You can toss me from the weirdest angle. I just know where I’m at. I don’t even know how to explain it.
The message films that try to be message films always fail. Likewise with documentaries. The documentaries that work best are the ones that eschew a simple message for an odd angle. I found that one of the most spectacular films about the Middle East was ‘Waltz With Bashir,’ or ‘The Gatekeepers,’ or ‘5 Broken Cameras.’
People who see successful young women think that there must be an angle there. It’s too good to be true that woman from a good upbringing can walk into a good job and be director.
Almost every story has a romantic angle to it.
People ask me why I became an actor, and the truth is that once you get cut from the baseball team, you need another angle to get women to pay attention.
‘Spring One’ probably has only four bars of Vivaldi in it, but it feels like it’s all Vivaldi. It’s odd. It’s a bit like walking around a sculpture, you just sort of see it from a different angle.
I will never create a romantic angle to survive on a game show.
One game that I’ve been playing a lot is ‘Super Stick Golf.’ It’s really simple, and it’s similar in a sense to ‘Angry Birds’ because you have to hit the right angle and the right trajectory to complete each hole. That one really hooked me.
Brock Lesnar from the Minnesota. He is one of the best wrestling background, like Iron Sheik and like the Kurt Angle, Dan Gable. He the real freestyle wrestling.
My parents would watch movies like ‘Big’ and ‘Freaky Friday,’ and I wanted to see that kind of story told from an African-American angle. So I had the idea for ‘Little,’ and then I told my parents, and we all fleshed it out together.
I think science is about the search for God; it just comes at it from a different angle than religion.
Kurt Angle is an Olympic gold medalist, one of the greatest in-ring performers of all-time.
I walked into the wrong examination room. I’m bad enough at facial recognition… I saw more that day than I cared to. Fortunately, I didn’t recognize her from that angle, whoever it was, and I didn’t ask. I’m off to a rocky start on the road to fatherhood, but I got a free view.
I think the focus of the media changes. At the moment the more electronic stuff like trip-hop was the flavor of the month, just a little while ago. It all depends on the angle, from which point of view you see it.
I wanna be myself and be the first Jason Jordan. I don’t wanna be the second Kurt Angle.
Kurt Angle was amazing. He was the person who got me into pro wrestling. He found me when I was at the Olympic training center just wrestling, amateur wrestling.
It’s impossible for me to go into a room or look at a location without a part of my brain photographing it – picking the best angle or looking at the way the light hits.
I’m getting in front of real, diverse audiences every night that I can, and I’m trying to make things from an angle where it’s not the only thing I’m hanging my hat on.
I vary from issue to issue and Im not party political at all. I think its important in comedy not to come from any set angle or it would be too predictable.
When I get an idea for a book, something appeals to me, it’s usually a character. I’ll see a picture of a female marshal in front of the courthouse in Miami and she’s got a shotgun on her hip and it goes up on an angle. And she’s good-looking. And I say, ‘I’ve got to use her.’
Valuation depends on several factors. From an investor angle, they look at leadership position, management, and what the company’s offerings are. I think these three things got 5/5 for a company like Flipkart, and that is what is driving valuations and growth.
I’m just so used to music videos or live TV, so to really see something that’s scripted and you have to do it over and over again to get every angle – it’s fascinating to me. I would love to do a little acting.
Being behind the lens gives me a completely different perspective, and because of my blog, I get to do projects and attend shows lending me another angle.
There is nothing in the world more perfect than a slide rule. Its burnished aluminum feels cool against your lips, and if you hold it level to the light you can see God’s most perfect right angle in each of its corners.
Protecting lives means reshaping national policies from a community healthcare angle.
If I come on three days after the Super Bowl and say pretty much what everybody else has said, what’s the point? That was the tricky thing… coming up with a new angle every time – or most times, because you couldn’t bat a thousand.
I never planned to be a professional artist – I just want to be a sustainable artist. I guess they’re the same thing if you look at them from a different angle.
In my opinion, with political and religious views, how can you 110 percent, full-hearted say without a shadow of a doubt say that this is how I feel, and this is where I want to be in my life, if you haven’t looked at it any other way than just one angle?
For me, an aerial picture is no different than a close-up portrait. It’s a question of framing and angle. Helicopters are great for that. But I’ve also used planes. Of course, I always have a harness.
Here at home, we’re in a world of right angles and human construct, so whether it’s cement or plastic or steel, everything is at an angle. But nature is chaos theory in full play. So having that uniqueness of what nature is gives me a sense of rejuvenation and scale.
Used as kites, these rigid stable aeroplanes are superior to the very best cellular kites I can make; they are lighter, pull harder per square foot, attain a greater angle of elevation, and have fewer parts.
I’m not satirical in a traditional way. What I do is more about creating caricatures and cartoons. I am commentating on the nature of how we live through photography, and how you can twist an angle to create a different perception of a person.
I’m probably borderline OCD. I insist on having all objects at right angles to each other. So a fork has to be at a right angle to the knife on the table. The salt and pepper pots have to be placed close together. Only recently have I started to notice it’s a weird way to behave.
With Richard Splett, he’s like the only character on ‘Veep’ that has no angle. He’s guileless. He also believes in the power of government.
If rock criticism is to be a political calling, which has always been my angle, that’s obviously not because it’s a fountainhead of protest songs.
Kurt Angle and Matt Hardy… I have so much respect for them.
I write books to open people’s minds, to present new perspectives, to make people realize that what they think is obvious is not so obvious, that you can look at a trivial situation from a different angle and suddenly reveal other meanings and levels.
If Kurt Angle’s leg fell off, he’d hop twice as fast to make up for the loss of mobility, man. There’s no quit in him.
Mike Tyson loved throwing hooks to the body and then coming up, even with the same hand… He knew that he was on the inside, and from there he had the perfect angle to come right up instead of going around the elbows.
