That’s the tricky thing these days: being able to surprise people.
Starting a business is tricky. There’s a lot of trial and error, but create a plan, be strategic and write everything down.
I like entertaining football but, at the same time, you can’t concede goals. That’s a tricky balance to find.
Adding comedy into what I do is just my natural approach. It’s how I approach anything that I find tricky or daunting, because it’s like putting syrup in your medicine, and it just makes it easier to go down.
I never meant to be in romantic comedies; it’s just what ended up happening. But they are tricky, in a post-1960s sexual revolution way. It was easier when you couldn’t have sex scenes: everything crackled very nicely. They’re not easy.
Childhood is a tricky business. Usually, something goes wrong.
Pilots are tricky because there are so many things you have to accomplish.
I just like having creative solutions to tricky situations.
The only thing that’s a little tricky about it is sometimes people assume that if it’s a new song, it’s a reflection of what you’re feeling or going through now.
I find historical figures in general very tricky because you feel at times that you’re serving two masters. Not only the arc and wonderful writing that comes with the show, but also the history of a person’s life.
The tricky thing is music is supposed to be very mysterious; the way it’s made is mysterious. Then people like to get upset with the music business.
Robots are very tricky to design and expensive, whereas humans are cheaply manufactured. Humans can handle things with greater manual dexterity than most robots I’ve known.
The subject matter is very tricky. It’s about the Munich massacre and what Mossad did afterwards with the assassination squads. I think it’s a turning point in history, especially for the Palestinians.
It’s tricky to take a book of short stories and turn it into a feature film.
Reviews about film acting are very… tricky, because movies are such a collaborative thing.
Discerning the will of God is a very tricky thing, partly because, you know, the little voice in my head can either be God’s voice or it can be my own ego doing a magnificent impression of God’s voice.
The tricky thing about fast raps is not really the delivery of them; it’s the writing of them, with consonants close enough together that you don’t trip up over them.
It’s a terrifying feeling when you have to do multiple takes of a tricky scene because the focus puller cant keep a sharp image.
While sophisticated plays can work in poker, if attempted by an inexperienced player, they’ll usually backfire. Elaborate bluffs and check-raises are best left to experienced players. It’s just like golf: don’t try to hit a tricky flop shot with that 25-handicap of yours!
The thing with the mustache is, it’s a classic. A guy can always wear a mustache. But it’s still tricky and potentially fraught with peril.
When you’re younger, it’s hard because you’re finding your identity, and then for 12 hours out of the day, you have to be a different person. So that’s a tricky phase – as far as figuring who you are out and then figuring out the people that you’re working with.
Trimming is tricky. If you trim the eyebrow too much, you ruin the arch. Eyebrow hair has a curl and when you brush and cut it, it’s easy to snip it too short.
The word ‘demand’ is a tricky word when used by our gender. When used by men, it’s part of their vernacular.
It’s tricky when I’m constantly traveling and adjusting to new time zones and trying to also keep up with my workouts.
Tanning is tricky, because a lot of people just look orange.
I only travel with one suitcase – Mulberry does an incredible one. I always check it; the TSA restrictions are so tricky.
Wearing a bold print gets harder as you get older. It’s safer to stick to subtle prints or block colours. I have always found prints quite tricky. My daughter Carly, who is on the design team at Stella McCartney, is obsessed with them.
One of the tricky things about sort of larger, comic-book action movies is that the scale is so big that they have to save the world at the end of every movie, and so at the end of each of the films, either Chicago or New York end up getting obliterated.
We can love all people while loving the law and expecting the law to be fulfilled, and that’s a tricky balance.
I think what we should do as historians is understand. And we can have our own views about how things turned out, but I think, in making judgements, we’re getting into tricky territory.
Brains are tricky and adaptable organs. For all the ‘neuroplasticity’ allowing our brains to reconfigure themselves to the biases of our computers, we are just as neuroplastic in our ability to eventually recover and adapt.
I hope it’s not all I’ll ever do, but I know I’ve played enigmatic characters. For me, the good characters are people who get places, are devious, are cunning and tricky and hard to pin down. Obviously, if you play one and you do an okay job of it, that’ll be on people’s minds.
At Virgin, we have always backed the power of the entrepreneur and inventor to find solutions to tricky problems. Why should climate change and the battle against carbon be any different?
Celebrity is a very tricky area to navigate.
When I’m in a tricky situation I often think: ‘What would Beyonce do?’ It helps.
It’s tricky because obviously when you join a new club, from the very first day, everyone looks at you and tries to see if you are good enough. That’s more or less what you have to go through. Then the other thing is that when I signed for West Ham nobody told me I was going to be number one.
Singing is a tricky business so I sort of had to work at ir. But it’s also sort of natural. That’s my voice.
I do find modern jazz quite tricky.
The first rounds of a tournament are always tricky because playing tennis takes a lot out of you.
It’s obviously tricky to convert cellulose to a useful biofuel. I think actually the most efficient way to use cellulose is to burn it in a co-generation power plant. That will yield the most energy and that is something you can do today.
I do travel quite and bit and so going to the gym can get tricky at times.
It’s incredible how nature sets females up to take care of people, and yet it is tricky for them to take care of themselves.
It’s been a bit tricky trying to establish a ‘designer’ profile and not a designer-cum-girl-around-town.
A kid actor to an adult actor is a tricky one.
Obviously there’s a lot more to a TV show than just a book… I think adaptations are a bit tricky for the screenwriters because they’re worried about upsetting the author.
Marketing for a film is tricky because you release stuff without context.
Genre mechanics are really tricky because if you pay too much attention to the idea of rules of genre, it becomes pretty stale, pretty fast.
It’s a very tricky situation to be in when you’re actually friends with someone but they’re also your boss.
The trick is, when you try a good pair of jeans on, you may not think they’re that great, but you wear them two months, and they become your favorite jeans. They’re tricky. You gotta let them live.
It’s tough. It’s very tricky to throw a morally flexible character onto the screen and have an audience empathize. It’s always an exercise in restraint.
We don’t have sources who are dissidents on other sources. Should they come forward, that would be a tricky situation for us. But we’re presumably acting in such a way that people feel morally compelled to continue our mission, not to screw it up.
Stardom is just an uneasy seat on top of a tricky toboggan. Being a star is merely perching at the head of the downgrade. A competent featured player can last a lifetime. A star, a year or two. There’s all that agony of finding suitable stories, keeping in character, maintaining illusion.
‘Toybox’ is that kind of game that will stretch your mental capacity by doing very simple things like solving an easy puzzle of shooting aliens. You’ll just need to do everything at the same time to make it through alive. Just to make things tricky, the tasks change every week so you can’t get used to any set.
I personally think intellectual property is an oxymoron. Physical objects have a completely different natural economy than intellectual goods. It’s a tricky thing to try to own something that remains in your possession even after you give it to many others.
It’s a very tricky relationship, the cinematographer and the director as a woman.
It’s always a tricky thing, trying to make aid sustainable.
The trick of making movies in this culture is how to not give up everything that makes them worthwhile in order to get them made – and that’s a tricky balance.
‘Acceptance’ is a tricky word. Acceptance about what life is bringing us in a spiritual sense is one thing; but acceptance when there’s injustice in the world is completely another.
Fortuna is tricky, he’s a southpaw like me. But you’ve got to adapt to whatever is in front of you.
Authentic apology is a tricky thing to pull off in politics, which is why it so seldom occurs. Plausible deniability must be preserved. True contrition has to be displayed. Traitors to the cause must be immediately be jettisoned. Most of all, the goal is to stop the bleeding.
