Democracy is messy.
Genuine democracy is frequently messy, not stage-managed.
It can get really messy inside my head, and it’s usually just because everybody can get really self-centered at some point. And so what usually keeps me from quitting is that my reasons for quitting are just lame. I wouldn’t want anybody else to talk to myself the way that I talk to myself.
If it’s not messy and it doesn’t drip over the sides, it’s not a holiday hot chocolate -it’s just an average hot chocolate.
The responsibility that I ultimately feel to the audience is to entertain, maybe enlighten, and help you take your mind off messy things.
The #MeToo movement is a very important movement. It’s messy. And it’s complicated. And there are places where it’s going to overreach.
Our relationship to the computer is much like our relationship to the car: rich, complex, socially messy.
You’ll never see me with a precision flick of eyeliner. Messy eyeliner became my thing by accident rather than design. If you can’t get it straight, then just work it in around your eyes.
Unlike ‘real relationships’, ‘virtual relationships’ are easy to enter and to exit. They look smart and clean, feel easy to use, when compared with the heavy, slow-moving, messy real stuff.
Politics is a messy business, but campaigning prepares you for governing. It prepares you to get hit, stand strong, and, if necessary, hit back.
I usually work in a room which is totally cluttered with my mess, and there’s stuff everywhere, and it’s kind of chaotic because I am a very messy person. I could totally write in a pristine environment, but it would mean I would have to be at someone else’s house.
Kittens are so messy and sometimes require several feedings a day.
My favorite festival beauty look is definitely braids and hats: a messy fishtail braid and a cute outfit, and I’m ready!
Jazz is smooth and cool. Jazz is rage. Jazz flows like water. Jazz never seems to begin or end. Jazz isn’t methodical, but jazz isn’t messy either. Jazz is a conversation, a give and take. Jazz is the connection and communication between musicians. Jazz is abandon.
The Club Kids were about fun. Wild, messy fun – the more debauched, the better.
If Disney wants ideas for a princess, make her an independent woman, one who is not afraid to face the daily struggles of life, and refuses to wear expensive dresses. Because we all know life is messy, and those dresses are too pretty to get dirty.
When confronted with a direct threat to American security, Obama has shown he is willing to act unilaterally – in a targeted, get-in-and-get-out fashion, that avoids, at all costs, the kind of messy ground wars and lengthy occupations that have drained America’s treasury and spirit for the past decades.
I want to go into the margins, into those moments where there’s snot hanging out of your nose and things aren’t cute and you’re not pretty. I’m all for messy. That’s what I want to explore.
Family love is messy, clinging, and of an annoying and repetitive pattern, like bad wallpaper.
The bottom line is that I like my first drafts to be blind, unconscious, messy efforts; that’s what gets me the best material.
Not all single women want to be married. Not all boys like football. Not all homemakers like to cook. Not all messy people are lazy. And not all the obese are gluttons. There are glands and diabetes and a dozen conditions you never heard of that may account for things. Put your sermon through the counter-stereotype sieve.
I, as prime minister, never went to Washington. Certainly never went to a presidential ranch. I hate to say this, but I wasn’t going to be the pilot fish to the shark, whereas Australia quite happily bobbed along like a happy little pilot fish with a shark who was a messy eater, and I just couldn’t feel like that.
Hated ‘The Imitation Game.’ Totally inaccurate. A gay man with a messy room? Don’t buy it.
You need a balance at all times. If the verse is a bit messy, you need it to be less messy right after. It needs to vary. ‘Shake It Off’ is a good example, where the math behind the drama is pretty clear.
Honestly, I don’t buy papers or the weeklies. I think when something messy does happen, you just need your closest friends and family all around you, and it’s nothing to do with anyone else.
I never think of a project as just being comedy or just being drama – even with ‘Masters of Sex.’ I like being sort of messy, like life is.
The ‘Grace of Kings’ isn’t a narrative about a return to some golden age, to a lost status quo ante. It portrays a dynamic world in transition, where the redistribution of power is messy, morally ambivalent, and only lurches toward more justice.
I’m kind of in between organized and messy, so if I have the right things to keep me organized, it’s easier for me to stay that way. If I don’t have the right tools, I’m a train wreck.
In bringing my baby to work, I am happy to be a visible reminder of how messy and difficult it is to be a working parent.
I write about messy relationships – between friends, rivals, married couples, siblings. I’m not really interested in boy/girl romances.
The more messy women that we put on screen, that we put in books, the more women can feel represented and seen, then they can access their own stuff, feel it’s okay, and then have the strength to speak out about things like we’re talking about. About rising up.
Ultimately, I’m a mess. I don’t mean I’m a mess, like, emotionally – I mean, I think probably everybody’s a mess. David’s a mess. But. I’m talking about… I’m messy.
In America, diner food or roadside barbecue is the best road food, but I am not a fan of eating while driving – too messy.
I think eyebrows are the symmetry of the face. If they’re not balanced and brushed up in the right way, your face looks kind of messy.
Let me back up a little and tell you why I prefer writing to real life: You can rewrite. A novel, for example, can be cleaned up, altered, trimmed, improved. Life, on the other hand, is one big messy rough draft.
I always had crazy, curly hair up in a bun, messy, running up and down, sweaty.
Young girls in particular aren’t given a space to be messy and complicated and express themselves and experiment – they’re told to be a little quieter and a little less than.
Politics is a messy business, but campaigning prepares you for governing. It prepares you to get hit, stand strong, and, if necessary, hit back.
I actually think there are a lot of similarities between California girl-style and French girl-style. Long messy hair, and that ‘I don’t think about what I’m wearing too much’ kind of thing.
The heroines in ‘That’s What She Said’ are flawed, messy, damaged, hilarious and culpable and not really concerned about being acceptable to the audience in any traditional sense, which for me is what makes them all the more gorgeous. And the fearless truth of that is what makes it funny.
