In some parts of life, like mathematics and science, yeah, I was a genius. I would top all the top scores you could ever measure it by.
In online learning environments, it is often hard to tell whether a student is struggling. By the time test scores are lagging, it’s often too late – the student has already quit.
A modern girls’ school, equipped as scores are now equipped throughout the country, was of course not to be found in 1858, when I first became a school boarder, or in 1867, when I ceased to be one.
Bernard Herrmann used to write all his scores by himself. So did Bach, Beethoven and Stravinsky. I don’t understand why this happens in the movie industry.
If you lose a player who scores seven, eight, or nine goals, you have to find another one.
Historic scores cannot be settled, and scars cannot be obliterated.
I have seen schools across the country working long and hard to embed a commitment to the unlimited development of every student into their cultures. The result, in terms of motivated learners and test scores, often is spectacular.
Not even the most powerful organs of the press, including Time, Newsweek, and The New York Times, can discover a new artist or certify his work and make it stick. They can only bring you the scores.
Your typical business just measures the metrics that have to do with the profitability of the business one way or another. But you can have metrics that measure employee happiness and the morale. You can also do direct customer surveys; you can track it over time. You can do supplier satisfaction scores as well.
I tend to spend quite a lot of time on the film scores that I do.
Cristiano is a great player who scores many goals. He’s a genius, if I said it any other way I’d be lying.
I’ve done entire scores for I don’t know how many films and series. I never kept track; I suppose it’s up in the hundreds.
When newspapers started to publish the box office scores of movies, I was horrified. Those results are totally fake because they never include the promotion budget.
Many film scores try to force an emotion into a story that inherently is not there in the first place.
I was a fan myself, and I know what it’s like. If someone comes out of the blocks and scores 31 goals in one season, then you think, ‘OK, was that a one-off, or will he do it again?’
I don’t think anyone can accept us being 51st in the country dealing with fourth-grade math scores and reading scores in the fourth and sixth grades that are close to the bottom. That’s not acceptable. It’s not acceptable to the people of Alabama.
Lowry is a pitbull. He’s a gritty player who scores in a variety of ways, but he’s also one of the few guards who also does the things that go unnoticed on the stat sheet.
My first real foreign holiday was my honeymoon 20 years ago, and we went to Bali. It was particularly special for that reason, I enjoyed it very much – I had packed music scores and a practice drum pad, suspecting that I would be completely bored, but actually they remained in my case.
We’re professionals, everybody scores. It’s just a matter of limiting them as much as you can and trying to contain them.
My mother was adored by her family and by the scores of children she took care of and their parents, all of whom called her ‘Miss Woody.’
Well I think usually I would do six or even 10 scores a year. Some are big films and some are not.
You don’t love hockey for the scores, you love hockey for the fights, right?
It don’t matter who scores; we just got to win.
I have never pretended to be a legal scholar, but when scores of lawyers are lining up to agree with the Supreme Court that the president has the power to make choices when it comes to whom to deport and whom to let stay, then I tend to agree with them.
Diego Costa is Diego Costa. He scores goals. He is an animated character and he is a big personality.
Harry Kane is a typical striker. He scores in every single game. I think he has great qualities. I like him a lot.
You’ve got to want to play defence. Nobody really wants to play defence. It’s boring. It sucks. You don’t get the flashiness, the scores, the dunks. But you’ve got to have it.
I like to consider myself an all-rounder, and I’m not trying to be King of the Scene or anything. I’d like to do everything, from writing film scores to producing pop albums.
When I looked at the skeleton of ‘Damn Yankees,’ I saw an indestructible story, absolutely original characters, one of the freshest, sassiest American scores of the century, and some outmoded equipment.
I’ll probably always write film scores. It’s the one place where a composer has almost unlimited resources at his beck and call. When music you have written works well in a film, nothing can beat it.
Sometimes a team plays very well but doesn’t manage to score, while another team comes and scores. But then, that’s how football is.
The Great Idea in advertising is far more than the sum of the recognition scores, the ratings and all the other superficial indicators of its success; it is in the realm of myth, to which measurements cannot apply.
I worked on scores. I went to the musical library in Berlin which is very famous. I discovered that we had scores of Beethoven, printed scores of Beethoven, that are full of mistakes. Not the wrong or false notes, but the wrong dynamic, understandable things.
I like philharmonic music a lot. That kind of symphonic music has always been an integral part of the arrangements in many of my songs and background scores.
Goals don’t bother me, even though it is my job. I am as happy when team-mates scores as I am when I score. Winning is what matters.
I have never seen a talent like Ronaldo. He always scores, scores, scores. The first game he played for Milan, Sienna away, I said to him, ‘I can’t put you on the pitch. You are 100kg.’ ‘Mister,’ he said, ‘don’t worry, I will score.’ I put him in, and he scored twice.
They are different footballers. For me, Cristiano has more points in his favour because he heads the ball well, he is stronger and he scores goals. Messi has quality, dribbles and scores goals. For a coach, I think Cristiano is better because he is more complete.
He always scores the opening goal. Because it is one thing to score 30 goals with hat-tricks in easy wins, and another that 20 of those 30 goals are enough to win 1-0. Nobody does that as well as Diego Costa.
I think great scores have to be noticed, but they’re wrong when you hear the music come in.
In the film work, I love to work mainly from the script and from talking to the directors, so a lot of the music, big portions of the scores that I’ve made, have been composed before the movies were even shot.
I always create book soundtracks to capture the overall mood I’m going for and listen to them as I write. Those songs and scores really fuse with the scenes in my mind.
Higher SAT scores mean better college matriculation rates. So it’s no wonder that private schools in ultra-competitive environments would grease the qualifying process as much as possible.
The ‘Russia collusion’ narrative caused untold damage to the Trump administration and its policy goals. It sparked a years-long special counsel probe that pursued scores of Trump associates but found none who had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
The number of illegal activities were so large that one was bound to come out and lead to the uncovering of the others. Nixon was too willing to use the power of government to settle scores and get even with enemies.
In K-12, almost everybody goes to local schools. Universities are a bit different because kids actually do pick the university. The bizarre thing, though, is that the merit of university is actually how good the students going in are: the SAT scores of the kids going in.
Obviously in Art of Noise, I’m just part of the group, and when I do film scores, it’s always in collaboration with the director and other people involved.
Scores of little girls are going to run into school the following day and say, ‘Did you see Fran Kirby last night?’ That for me is as important as winning the game.
I don’t totally believe that all of the politicians see a problem with the gap between the scores of black children and other groups. I believe that many politicians think this has been the way it has always been, so what’s the problem?
In English films, they concentrate more on background scores and the music will be the main highlight of movie. When it comes to our local language, we have comedy, emotion, hero buildups, etc., and the music for each will be different from the other.
As much as I love scores of wonderful sites across the web, most of them are driven by the daily grind of the display/pageview hamster wheel. They create 20, 30, 40 ‘content snacks’ a day, and I miss far more than I consume.
So, my first film with Karthik was Pizza,’ and that in itself was like a dream. I would call it one of my most favorite scores.
Ronaldo is a fantastic player, he scores a lot of goals and is really complete, but what Messi does nobody else can or ever will do.
When I was recording my first solo album ‘Imaginaryland,’ I was listening to a lot of movie scores.
I love Messi with the ball at his feet: he scores goals and does all the rest, too. But Cristiano’s numbers can’t be ignored. It’s a cruel comparison. Both of them deserve respect.
