I love the ukulele. It’s got a beautiful, melodic tone to it. There’s something innocent and romantic, and it’s just a grand instrument to play.
And the greeter is what sets the tone for this company and I’ve been on TV a little bit this morning.
A lot of times on our show, ‘Shadowhunters,’ we have excuses to dawn some kind of sexy black leather attire under the excuse that we’re going to fight demons, but it’s all part of the tone of the piece and the tone of the story.
I have a very good sense of tone, and it’s possible to talk about very personal things and maintain a level of dignity and even privacy – to go to the place, to talk about it, but not get icky.
I don’t have writer’s block, really. I do have times when I can’t get the lead, and that is the only part of the story which I have serious trouble with. I don’t write a word of the article until I have the lead. It just sets the whole tone – the whole point of view.
With ‘Black Rain,’ I spent a lot of time with homicide detectives, and I spent a lot of time with different brokers on ‘Wall Street.’ It helps get the rhythm of the piece and the tone, and how overplayed or underplayed it might be. That’s also the magic of movies: You get to hang out and live these different lives.
Republicans must sell a big-cause, problem-solving vision – low-ego and happy-warrior in tone.
Actually, I think the average voice is like 70 percent tone and 30 percent noise. My voice is 95 percent noise.
The Green Arrow stuff that I’ve responded to from the past is the Mike Grell stuff. I’ve liked a lot of other stuff, but I think for me, the direction and the mood and the tone that I really want is something much darker and more aggressive and really fast-paced action.
My biggest challenge in making ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ was simply to maintain a tone of sophistication and reality. It’s about the fashion world, or it’s set in the fashion world, and that’s a world that’s easy to mock. It’s easy to satirise people trying to lose weight and choosing between fancy clothes.
People have entire relationships via text message now, but I am not partial to texting. I need context, nuance and the warmth and tone that can only come from a human voice.
In teaching color, you teach people how to look something and see the tone in it and break it down to be able to paint it and reproduce that color. But then, I’m psychedelic, so I look at color differently. I like colors that are in contrast with one another, so that they flicker back and forth.
Cheney was among the best secretaries of defence the country has ever had. He was a very effective White House chief of staff. He did not make many enemies, and he had the ability to persuade people with that soft tone and very reasonable style of his. He’s always been exceptionally good as the right-hand man.
Some people can sing, and they can sing sing, but Brandy can not only sing sing, but she has a voice and a tone that is unlike any other.
My father really set the tone for us to be a more moral nation, to take a moral high ground in everything that we do.
As I got older, I started realizing that though people differ in skin tone, religious beliefs, cultures, and food, one thing we all have in common is emotions, so I tapped into emotions.
As the lead of a movie, you really set the tone off-camera as well, and that’s a really big responsibility.
