It’s hard because I think I fall into this in-between space where there’s something that’s innately feminine about me, and there’s also something that’s kind of androgynous. I carry myself somewhere in between, and I think my music lends itself to that as well.
My father spent all those years building his brand. I happen to be his namesake, and I also happen to be the president of the largest Christian university. I think I have a responsibility to be a good citizen. The least I can do is to lend my name and whatever influence I have to make a difference politically.
Look, I certainly couldn’t say that my unusual upbringing didn’t lend itself to becoming an actor – of course it did. People want to see what Edward and Joanna’s son can do.

Harvard was also a little bit of a villain in my first book, ‘The Dante Club.’ I guess there might be a way to make Harvard more of a sympathetic presence, but it’s such a powerful institution that it more naturally lends itself toward not necessarily a negative but an obstructionist element in a story.
Nobody was willing to lend their bike or teach me to ride. Bike riding is very addictive and nobody wants to part with their bike for someone else.
I think the Mary J. Blige persona wouldn’t lend itself to the big kid persona, but that’s exactly who she is. She has such a serious life and childhood and then such a dramatic one, a successful R&B singer. But she’s just stayed this kid for life and stuff.
I really enjoy watching animation films and I have always been curious about how such well-established actors in Hollywood lend their voices to animation films.
What is missed when people talk about books is the moment of grace when the reader creates the book, lends it the authority of their life and soul. The books I love are me, have become me.

One shining quality lends a lustre to another, or hides some glaring defect.
Vine is great because none of us have time to really see all the talent that’s out there. If you can make someone laugh in six seconds, you can see there’s more to this person. Vine lends itself to that. It allows you to be exposed to new people and you get it right away.

I can’t lie – I have one of those faces where you can tell. It’s expressive and lends itself to being cheeky. I always tell the truth even when I should probably tell a white lie.

For the movie ‘Bhaskar Oru Rascal’ I had to let go of a part of my agreed salary and in fact, had to lend money to the producer when he couldn’t meet his financial obligations at the time of the movie’s release.
There are so many different things that lend themselves to what makes a song magical, that go beyond just the lyrics or the composition. But arrangement and production and performance have such huge stakes in what makes that sort of lightning-in-a-bottle moment.

Most of us don’t live lives that lend themselves to novelistic expression, because our lives are so fragmented.
Coercion may prevent many transgressions; but it robs even actions which are legal of a part of their beauty. Freedom may lead to many transgressions, but it lends even to vices a less ignoble form.
The state of being in love is so inherently preposterous. It usually lends itself to romantic comedy. I think we’ve all been there.
Our assessment of socio-economic worth is largely a sham. We scientists should not lend ourselves to it – though we routinely do. We should, instead, insist on applying the criterion of quality.
I really think that the ‘Jersey Boys’ musical – and this is just my opinion – lends itself to being cinematic in some way, because it’s a jukebox musical; the characters break into song only for the scene transitions.
When you are learning through poetry how to speak English, it lends to a great understanding of sound, of pitch, of pronunciation, so I think of my speech impediment not as a weakness or a disability, but as one of my greatest strengths.
The fact I have alopecia is a unique thing. It lends itself to these very bright, vibrant characters, whether a good guy or a bad guy.

In high school, I decided I wanted to learn guitar, so I picked it up and starting teaching myself some basic chords and started playing with friends. Guitar inherently lends itself to be guitar music, especially when you’re not good at guitar.
When you can’t lend or trade – and you can’t invest with the leverage that juiced returns to support seven- and eight-figure bonuses – how exactly are you going to make money?
All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is.
I think that women of color use social media to make our voices heard with or without the amplification of white women. I also think that, many times, when white women want our support, they use an umbrella of ‘women supporting women’ and forget that they didn’t lend the same kind of support.
It is better to give then to lend, and it costs about the same.
Our country’s social revolution lends itself to jokes and I use them.

It’s one of the things about being a person with a public presence, to get to lend your name to a worthy cause.
Me and my friend Ioan Gruffudd are like chalk and cheese when it comes to clothes. He lives for his clothes and has an amazing wardrobe. If we’re going out I’ll turn up at his house and say, ‘I haven’t got anything to wear,’ and he’ll tut and sigh and then lend me something swanky.
Some stories seem to lend themselves to telling right away. ‘All The President’s Men’ was done, what, four or five years after the event? It certainly seemed to work there, as opposed to something that happened 40 years ago.
For whatever reason, I encounter Canadian whiskey at hunting camps way more often than I do in restaurants, bars, or homes. Could be the lower price. Could be the mellow character, which lends itself to long hours of fireside sipping. Or it could just be tradition.
