I knew I was destined to be a rock star. I just knew it, like I’ve always had the power of foresight. I feel right now exactly the way I felt after I finished mixing my first solo album ‘New York Groove’.
My football philosophy is to win as many games as possible. Brand of football? I believe in mixing a bit of everything. You have to.
Even in the investigations into direct production of calcium peroxide in an alkali melt with highly compressed oxygen, it was found to be necessary to bring the high-pressure gas into contact with the suspension of lime in caustic alkali melt by agitation or some other means of mixing.
Dressing in an androgynous way, mixing up the masculine and feminine, blurring those boundaries – I’m cool with that. No one should ever be limited by stereotypes of gender, just as no one should ever be limited by stereotypes of race.
I read both in French and English and often a couple of books at once, mixing fiction and non-fiction.
Real talent is mixing realism with bluff. Every great artist I really respect has a certain amount of bluff; sooner or later you have to be a conjurer, and conjure images.
I’m a liberal arts comedian and the definition of liberal arts is all spheres of human knowledge, coexisting, mixing and influencing each other.
I’ve loved my time at Sunderland. It’s benefited me so much, as I’ve just gained invaluable experience playing week-in, week-out in the Premier League and mixing it with the big boys.
I definitely try to go above and beyond with live mixing and scratching.
I think anyone who knows the audio process knows what mixing and mastering is.
Cultures and races are mixing in a very organic way in the world, and that should be reflected in film and television.
The lawlessness of frontier life in America has been pictured as a remarkable phenomenon. In reality, it was the natural consequence of indiscriminate mixing of volatile substances.
We are quite at ease in this no man’s land of ignorance and doubt and dispute, absorbed in the ambiguities of trying to reach truth by mixing fact with invention.
When computers came online and people found out people weren’t mixing there was uproar, and outed. But now that hasn’t happened. People don’t seem to care.
I make all my body lotions by just mixing oils.
I went to the States with that amount of prejudice which seems the birthright of every English person, but I found that, under the knowledge of the Americans which can be attained by a traveller mixing in society in every grade, these prejudices gradually melted away.
As an only child you don’t have many people to play with, and mum was strict about not mixing with kids on the street, so I played by myself.
I am actually wearing slacks on the show more than I ever have – it is now acceptable, and I like mixing it up.
But with The Dark Crystal, instead of puppetry we’re trying to go toward a sense of realism – toward a reality of creatures that are actually alive and we’re mixing up puppetry and all kinds of other techniques.
I’m writing, I’m directing, I’m editing, I’m mixing, I’m showrunning. There is a certain point where it’s like, the work is the work.
Throw out the rule book. If you like wearing navy and black together, wear it; if you like mixing up gold and silver jewellery, mix it. If you like it, wear it – don’t care about what anyone else thinks.
I’m not really frightened by experimenting – that’s the main thing. I really like mixing very old beautiful pieces that are from thrift shops or that have some historical value with quite new futuristic things.
If I’m not working, I really have nothing to do with it – I’m not hanging out and mixing with film people. Not that I have anything against film people; they’re some of the best people around and some of the worst people around, just like in any business… they just gesticulate a little bit more.
My Italian granny and my mother made great spaghetti, but it wasn’t a kind of southern Italian, Godfather-esque kind of thing – it was a wonderful, big mixing pot of all kinds of people – when you came home from school and your mum wasn’t in, there were lots of people you could go to.
We always did our own mixing.
When Dudamel is up on the podium, he truly is ‘inside’ the music. It courses in his veins, mixing with his blood.
‘Trumbo’ is conventional in its structure, mixing interviews with archival footage. What I enjoyed most about the film was its liberal use of his own personal letters to friends and family, performed dramatically by well-known actors.
Producing is getting the performances, tracking it, making sure all the parts are there. Mixing is when you take the finished work, and you make sure all the levels are right. It’s putting all the parts together.
Once, my writing-avoidance behavior involved me mixing up a cleaning concoction and getting some ancient stains out of the carpet. My wife liked that one.
With Carlson Gracie, who saw something in me, I started learning and loved mixing together the martial arts.
Being pretty… I’m just confused about it. I mean, I love getting my nails done, but I also like dressing like a boy. I think I feel most myself when I’m mixing femininity and masculinity. Like, fifty-fifty.
I started out trying to play more straight-ahead jazz. I went to Berklee in the early ’60s when it was a brand new school, and so there was no fusion music. There wasn’t a lot of mixing together of different kinds of music at that time, so jazz was kind of pure jazz.
Running strips you and works your core, mixing it up with different exercises so your body doesn’t get used to one thing, so you can really get intense with your workout. I never like to stick to one thing; otherwise, you don’t really see that many results.
My 20s were spent in a room, alone, mixing paints and figuring it all out.
Jeremy Scott reminds me of Harmony Korine, mixing all worlds and making them into one – you just never know what he’s up to.
I don’t know why we, in the art world, cannot unpack things and sort of make hybrid notions of a practice. We’re very rigid. It’s funny, though; in music, we have no problem sampling, mixing and remixing. But in the art world, why can’t we take little parts of history and mix it together?
You know Seth and Evan, they were lead writers for ‘Pineapple Express’, and they are great at mixing things up. Taking different genres and mish-mashing them up to create something dynamically new. They’ll throw comedy at you, but with a dash of horror and fright that is supposed to make you shocked and scared.
I’m always interested in mixing technology and music. You know, maybe I’ll have a MIDI bass pickup at some point, I don’t really think that’s the direction I would want to go.
So many of the things I talk about in ‘Reality Hunger’ seem to be the things that ‘The Thing About Life’ does – things like risk, contradiction, compression, mixing modes of attack from the memoristic gesture to data-crunching.
I remember when we were mixing our record and our manager was in there going, ‘You guys need to sing more, so it can be on the radio.’ And we were like ‘What? We’re never going to get played on the radio. Who cares? What are you talking about?’
Post-‘Gangaajal,’ I changed my way of functioning, choosing my roles carefully and mixing them up.

I’m mixing country with kind of a modern twist to it.
I started mixing my real life stories into my stand-up, and on stage it’s much more powerful.
We are all shaped by where we grow up, though that shaping takes different forms. I don’t think there’s any doubt that coming of age in Winnipeg both opened my eyes and made me hungry – if I can subvert all claims to be a real writer by mixing metaphors like that.
It’s a pity that I can never really enjoy my movies because, after the mixing, your capacity as a spectator just disappears. I have to think about what I felt just before the mixing.
I never wear heels unless I have to, like if I’m speaking at a panel or going to a reception. I’m always in tennis shoes or flats, and I’m definitely someone who does high-low mixing, like wearing Adidas sandals with blazers.
