I try to associate myself as just being myself – and being a person, an American citizen, going out there every day and just trying to be successful.
People who don’t see themselves reflected in an institution tend not to associate themselves with those institutions.
I don’t associate myself with anything. I don’t associate myself with where I’m from or where I am.
Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.
Our main thing was playing basketball and just trying to win games. Doing that was a representation of who you are and people wanting to associate themselves with you.
I don’t associate success with happiness, and I don’t take it to heart, like, ‘Oh, I’m so special.’
If I had to associate myself with one song, it would probably be Let Love Rule. It’s so simple and to the point. It speaks for itself.
I was promoted associate professor in early 1970 and full professor in October of the same year. I spent the two spring semesters of 1972 and 1974 as visiting professor at Harvard University, giving lectures and directing a research project.
Religion is so much more than the god you pray to. The religion that you associate with, it’s culture, it is family, it is background. That is something that I have always grown up with.
No one would have picked me out in high school and said, ‘This guy is going to be in show business.’ I don’t have any of the talents you would normally associate with show business.
Music actually inspires me a lot. I listen to a lot of music, and often I find that if I can associate mentally a song or a piece of music with a particular character or scene, it helps me get back into the head of that character.
It’s a lot of feelings, I think, when people so strongly associate an actor with a character they play – but the main feeling is I feel very happy that I’ve been able to play somebody that people connect so strongly to.
First, I’d become an avid reader of blogs, especially music blogs, and they seemed to be where the critical-thinking action was at, to have the kind of energy that I associate with rock writing of the 1970s or Internet e-mail discussion lists a decade ago.
We associate the North Atlantic with cod. The motto of Newfoundland used to be ‘In cod we trust.’ It was a joke, but it was essentially true. But there is no cod anymore. And that’s extraordinary. It’s all because of either greed or politics – Canadian politics.
The people that I associate with, the circle that I keep, is real simple, and sometimes we think or we’re trained to believe that you always have to have more, more, more to make ourselves feel happy or beautiful, but it’s the other way around for me. Simplicity is sexy.
Music has its own emotional embodiment. It carries an emotion with it. When you associate a lyric with the music, it’s much easier; but when you’re standing there completely dry in front of the camera with no musical background, just a fine-tuned, get-this-emotional-story across, it’s a very, very intense kind of focus.
I learned to associate discomfort with getting better. And that transcended wrestling and applied to a lot of other things in life.
I associate Taylor Swift with some pretty kinky stuff.
A close associate of his gave an interview in which the book was described as quotes ‘fiction from being to end’. I suffered trial by tabloid for a couple of weeks, lots of insults in the press, in the columns – this man should be put in the tower and so on.
For me I think the sport is as good as it is, I really personally miss the sound a lot of the old engines, the V8s, the V10s. That is personally my biggest regret or miss, what is lacking I think with the sensation of Formula 1, a lot of people associate also with that.
I find it very funny as well as touching that people associate me with these characters I play and form a connect with them.
People associate me with Al Green and Curtis Mayfield, but these aren’t people that I listened to growing up. I got into them much later.
Most people associate Wu Tang with Staten Island or Shaolin, but actually, I’m a native of Brooklyn. I was born in Crown Heights, raised in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brownsville, and Bushwick.
I don’t think a lot of people – when they associate you with Hollywood, they don’t want to think of you as normal. They want to hear, you know, all the stuff in Hollywood.
I remember having a Mike Tyson T-shirt back in the day that I used to sleep in. And there some things that Tyson did along the way that I wasn’t too psyched to associate myself with. But back in the day, just as a fighter, what a dream that was to watch and root for him.
Most people associate command and control leadership with the military.
In 1990, if I wanted a pair of Calvin Klein jeans I had seen in a magazine, I’d head to the mall, sift through piles of inventory to find my size, try them on, ask the opinion of the often inexperienced sales associate, wait in line to check out, pay, and head home. The process was linear and ripe for improvement.
It means that the men who hold the means of life control our lives, and, because we workingmen have tried to get some measure of justice, some measure of betterment, they deny the right of the human being to associate with his fellow.
Music is supposed to create an associate level, wherein I and you and you and I can associate without any misunderstanding.
I feel like people associate us with the tropical Hawaiian print because, for a long time, we were wearing a lot of bright colors to exert our personality.
I would like to continue producing films with Salman and associate with him again and again, if that is possible.
I’m a really big Fiona Apple fan, and more times than not, when I put her on in the car, people are surprised. I think they associate her less as a songwriter and more as a ’90s MTV generation artist.
It is great to see Bollywood celebrities contributing to so many different trends in so many different ways. I think this is one of the reasons that people associate with Bollywood glamour.
I knew I was becoming popular in Argentina. I was starting to feel that some companies in Argentina were wanting to associate with me, so I just wanted to be a facilitator to raise funds and distribute them the way I thought was fair and to institutions that I trusted.
When I worked as music associate, I have observed my parents and grandparents waiting to see my name on the screen. But, it wouldn’t be there.
Scotch beef, salmon and shellfish are recognised the world over for their excellence and Scottish provenance. People recognise the Scottish brand. They associate the country with quality food and drink, and clearly other Scottish sectors, such as dairy, can benefit from that, too.
I know that the arts are important. I’m not denying that, but I can’t associate myself with all the claptrap that goes on around it.
I do not understand how you can associate abortion with an idea of hedonism or the good life.
My fear is that people associate Rand Paul’s social conservatism with libertarianism, when it’s not.
You have these catch-phrases that you associate with ‘The X-Files’: ‘Trust No One,’ ‘Deny Everything.’ ‘Believe the Lie’ was one of them.
When most people think about Nevada, they often instantly associate us with the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip.
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don’t see that at all.
It’s not just human nature to associate in tribes. It’s deeper than that.
The Masters is always at the front and center of my mind, and not because I’m the only one thinking about it. Other people associate me with this great event, and that’s an honor.
I don’t know if it’s a uniquely American thing, but I associate it that way. People get excited by this idea of, ‘Let’s come together and defeat this huge enemy through innovation, by solving this crisis.’ I think that’s motivating and inspiring.
It used to be that I was always paranoid or a loser or something so there’s usually something that you seem to associate yourself with at one time or another.
I associate wisdom and grace with age.
I don’t normally associate bingeing of any kind with healthy results in life. And I’m not a binge-watcher by nature myself.
Rukmini Devi was an icon for all the Bharat Natyam students at Kalakshetra. I grew up watching her at dance school and I associate her style with grace and humility – it’s never the clothes, it’s the persona.
Whenever I hear the word ‘breakout,’ I associate it with acne.
I do not want to associate myself with sexual content on the webspace.
The Indians seemed to be living in a place and in a way that was of immense importance to me. So I associate learning to read – English, oddly enough – with wanting to know about Indians. I’m still growing into it. I’ve never outgrown that.
For a century, women have binged on romance novels that encouraged them to associate intimidation with infatuation; it’s no wonder that this emotional hangover still lingers.
Americans generally associate boats with leisure. Vastly less prosperous, Egyptians associate them with nothing but labour. Rowing a boat is something a fisherman is forced to do to make a living; how could such an activity bring me – a woman no less – pleasure?
People far too often associate derivatives markets with mere speculation, but there are very legitimate businesses that need derivatives to protect themselves against risk.
