I break out in hives whenever I hear the word disrupt applied to cooking.
I never took my SAT’s. I never applied to college. I moved right out here and jumped into the thick of things. Whether that was the smart move or not, I’m sitting here talking to you now, so it paid off.
I learned a lot about make-up during my years in The Saturdays. For all of us, make-up ended up being a real mask of confidence. We used to wear a lot of heavy make-up because we were on stage so much. I remember at one point having two or three sets of false eyelashes applied in one go.

When I was at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory back in the early ’80s is when I first got the idea. The Super Soaker was based on some engineering principles that I applied. I was actually working on another invention which was a heat pump that would use water as a working fluid instead of Freon.
I applied everything that I could muster creatively to this mission to find a way to create a new ‘Jurassic Park’ movie for a new generation.
In theory, at least, all presidents are servants of the people who elected them. In the case of Barack Obama, it has seemed from the start that the idea as applied to him was more than mere metaphor. He is the first president in my lifetime whom the country felt obligated to remind that he know his place.
Caesar recognized the omens, but he didn’t believe they applied to him.
I actually was a good student, but I never applied myself ’cause I was always like, ‘I don’t love doing this.’ I wasn’t passionate about school. I always got a B just to pass. But what’s crazy is I got a 29 on my ACT test without even studying. So I was always, like, just smart – but never really cared.
No scoring system is perfect, but a system that provides for flexibility in scores, if applied by the same taster without prejudice, can quantify different levels of wine quality and provide the reader with one professional’s judgment.
All of these technologies that we are putting together… our memory technology, our CPU, our graphics architecture, our GPUs – all that is being applied to where the data is. You can almost predict where Intel will be in the future. It will be where data resides.
When improvisation is properly applied, it is compositional thinking, sped way up.
If there is one set of laws, one Constitution for every citizen, its protections hopefully applied equally to all, then why do the results seem to differ so radically? What do you call that? Look around – you’re living in it.

Fantasy-based ideologies invariably have neat happy endings where all the bad people and all the bad behavior goes away when the volume is turned up and enough force is applied.
It’s because I work in ethics, and, more specifically, applied ethics, that I think it’s important that if you have things to say that you think are right and you think could make the world a better place, it’s important that many people read about them.
Just as Cardinal Bernardin proposed that an of ethic of life be consistently applied to unite all the life issues, we need in our day to mine the church’s social teaching on solidarity.
There has no doubt to be fundamental research in science, but applied research is equally important for new improvements and changes in our techniques.

Common sense is calculation applied to life.
There are good reasons why natural selection has become widely accepted as an explanation of evolutionary development. When applied to mammals and other large animals, it fits perfectly. But we cannot assume that all evolutionary steps arise from selection, particularly when looking at smaller animals.
A lot of the questions raised about television’s power and influence on events have applied throughout history to every mass-communications medium – most particularly print, because that’s the medium we’ve had the longest.

Open and fair competition within free markets encourages innovation, meaning fresh perspectives can be applied. The private sector also brings skills and knowledge to bear on what can often be complex issues.
I’d applied to graduate school for playwriting, and I got rejected by every school. I felt that theatre was closed but that, when it came to film, the door was very slightly ajar. If I have any virtues, it’s that I’m good at walking through doors that are slightly ajar.
Game theory is a branch of, originally, applied mathematics, used mostly in economics and political science, a little bit in biology, that gives us a mathematical taxonomy of social life, and it predicts what people are likely to do and believe others will do in cases where everyone’s actions affect everyone else.
