Sometimes I have no hat, no glasses, and people don’t recognise me. When I can work, chill, and no one knows who I am, this is good.
For too long the world has failed to recognise that the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement are about fine athletics and fine art.
We did a film called ‘Kes,’ which is about a lad with a talent that nobody can recognise, or that nobody chose to recognise.
I’ve been portrayed as a womanising football hooligan, but I don’t recognise that person.
One of the main things I look for in a guitarist is in the sound itself. I go for a certain sound, and I think it’s an important thing for making a player more identifiable in the big giant pool of musicians out there. You want a sound that people will recognise just as much as your playing.
Europe can’t rely on a Trump-led U.S. for its defence. But, at the same time, it should recognise that the cold war is over – however unwilling to acknowledge it America’s industrial-military complex may be.
People very rarely know my real name but recognise me as characters from my shows, such as ‘Last Tango In Halifax.’
I always like to grow, and I recognise that the Yellow Submarine have helped me.
I can go everywhere and no one recognises me.
I was a workaholic, I had food issues, and I had body issues. I was in a lot of pain. My parents didn’t recognise what was going on.
Angels are not complete, they need their counterparts, the dark needs the bright, the hidden needs the open, and vice versa. Sometimes they meet and recognise each other. Sometimes, as with Horatio and me, the pairing occurs over spaces of time and distance.
I think sometimes you can be around somebody and take in certain energy and read certain things and you don’t know why your neck is stiff. But if you can recognise the negativity, once you identify it and you know what you are dealing with you can make a point to counteract it with a different energy.
I’ve no idea what they make of me. People usually don’t recognise themselves in an impression.
I think there are universal principles that we should want to understand, but that are not necessarily good for us. We could recognise universal propensities which current cultures can’t fully eradicate, which we would want to eradicate if we could. Let’s say, a tendency for tribal violence. Or racism.
‘Splendour’ broke through to new territory for me. It exposed my commitment to writing for women: my desire to recognise that they can be as aggressive, violent, mercurial, and complex as men.
We should recognise that only around a third of the population can be in internationally competitive jobs. So we need to develop a middle-band craft economy like the one the French have so cleverly maintained.
If someone asked if I I’d want no one to recognise me anymore, I’d take that option, I think.
One must recognise what all religious people know, which is that human beings are imperfect and fallen and there’s no way in which they alone can surmount the problems which they create.
It’s an individual waste and it’s an economic waste for Australia not to recognise dyslexia.
The Ballon d’Or is nice, but at the end of the day, I want to have success and play good, and if people recognise me, then I’m happy.
You can recognise when a film-maker really, really cares about what they’re doing.
I do recognise I have a responsibility to the audience. They feel fairly confident that if I’m in something, they can sit down with their family and be entertained by it. I don’t desperately want to change that.
We recognise in the finished art, which is the result of these conditions, the best words in the best order – poetry; and to put this essential poetry into different classes is impossible.
Experience – the wisdom that enables us to recognise in an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.
I don’t shout from the rooftops or blow my own trumpet. But I take a lot of satisfaction from the players and staff at clubs who recognise what I’ve done.
I don’t think of literary novels as self-help documents, although literature undoubtedly saved my life when I was young, enabling me to disappear into all manner of stories, to recognise feelings that I felt alone in.
Everywhere I go in the world, people know me and recognise me and really show affection for me.
In Sufi terms, there are two very interesting notions of transcendence. One is to gaze out at the universe and to comprehend that what you see out there reflects what you are. The other one is to look inside yourself and recognise that the universe is present there.
People recognise me now. I’ve got so much fan mail.
I always thought we ought to recognise the blood, sweat and tears – and the sacrifices in being away from home – of former England players, and that current players should know what has come before.
I never thought I would hear Labour and Scottish Nationalist ministers in both Westminster and Holyrood publicly recognise the environmental benefits of good grouse moor management.
It’s one thing to be bitter about something, but it’s another thing to recognise the growth and the change that you made.
It’s time to recognise the Armenian Genocide.
For me, I am really interested in how I can stretch myself to produce things. If, in the process, others take note and recognise that, then wonderful.
To understand why dictators fall, it helps to recognise factors that produce a perfect anti-dictatorial storm. Barring missteps such as those that led to Gaddafi’s undoing, a dictator’s survival can be at risk because of newness in office, poor health, or old age combined with economic trouble.
I certainly don’t recognise myself as the horrible sexist portrayed in media reports, and I don’t think the women who have worked with me throughout my career do either.
I love my fans and they follow me everywhere – I recognise a lot of faces.
I recognise my old self in a lot of the letters I get from single women who are unrealistic about what they want.
People are so busy anyway they don’t see you or recognise you in the street.
I believe that classical music comes through listening and practice, and it can be fun both for the singer or performer and the listener or audience, as long as the performer is taught to recognise the pulse of the audience.
You’d like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it. The best way people will come to recognise that track and field is a great sport is to see athletes excelling at it. Which is what I intend to do.
In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides, we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.
No one used to recognise me at all but now it’s different. So many more people come up to me, all on the back of playing for England.
I cannot recognise either the Palestinian state or the Israeli state. The Palestinians are idiots and the Israelis are idiots.
In Spain you can’t do anything. If you drive, everyone recognises you; at a restaurant you have paparazzi outside.
Even as a child, you can recognise the innocence of Piglet or the strange adult qualities of Eeyore. You just know you are with friends and family.
‘The Interceptor’ has an excitement and grittiness to it, but it’s also very entertaining. It lives in this sphere of a slightly heightened reality where, although you completely identify and recognise all the characters in it, they’re fun and exciting to watch.
You can always recognise my restless peers and me; we are the people whose feet you hear tramping along the pavement at the other end of the phone line because we can only make calls while moving.
It’s ironic that early on in the war with Afghanistan, the Americans and the British were saying, ‘We recognise there must be a Palestinian state,’ then they rapidly forgot about it. I think history will show that that kind of amnesia will come back to haunt you.
I think our stance on Brexit has perhaps been one of the most powerful things in helping people to recognise the values of the Liberal Democrats.
All comedy is funny because it tells us truths that we recognise through laughter, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be unnerving. Think of ‘Fawlty Towers’; it can be very, very dark, but by God, it’s funny. The two things are not in opposition.
To me you cannot be fully human, fully civilised, unless you recognise humanity in everyone.
I’m sorely disappointed that girls don’t recognise me in a normal tee and jeans.
This constitution recognises the need for social dialogue involving labour and management; it involves trade unions in the decision-making process; it has a social vision founded on social dialogue.
If you see a gaggle of teenagers walking towards you, you tend not to make eye contact, because you know they’re going to recognise you. You learn to adapt: 99.999 per cent of people aren’t looking to be harmful or unpleasant; they just want something, a photograph or an autograph.
The supreme challenge of Labor is to recognise our ‘revolutionary moment’ when it arrives. And to have the courage to seize it – wholly, boldly, and completely.
We recognise the link between environmental failure and social injustice. When the energy sector is privatised and deregulated, it not only tends to pollute more, it also charges the poorest more per unit!
