I believe there are two periods in life, one for the bike, the other for becoming active on one’s work.
You know, I’ve certainly gone through periods, once I got into this business, where I tried to adopt maybe a more sophisticated style, ’cause they give you all these free clothes.
Considering the wealth of poetic drama that has come down to us from the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, it is surprising that so little of any value has been added since.
To be sure, political unions between European countries have often failed in the past, but usually only after relatively brief periods. Denmark and Iceland separated after 130 years; the unions between Spain and Portugal and between Sweden and Norway each lasted less than a century.
I don’t think it’s especially praiseworthy that even in those periods when things around us were kind of dire, we were working on the music. There isn’t an alternative; that kind of work ethic is all that there is.
We sent our user research team out to sit with customers for periods of time and get some insight into how Slack is working. We also get tens of thousands of points of contact via Twitter and our customer support ticketing system every month and can synthesize those results.
I have seen periods of progress followed by reaction. I have seen the hopes and aspirations of Negroes rise during World War II, only to be smashed during the Eisenhower years. I am seeing the victories of the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations destroyed by Richard Nixon.
Historically, there had been many periods of Chinese Renaissance.
I don’t understand people who want to leave a good job. To me, without being terribly judgmental, those are people who haven’t gone through their stint of being out of work for long periods of time.
I grew up in a military family, and my dad was gone for long periods of time. Families make it work because you know you care for each other.
There are so many things that have evolved since I wrestled. They don’t have periods anymore. They have rounds… it confuses the younger demographic.
What do young, budding artists do, but go to law school? I had creative periods now and again, but it wasn’t until I was practicing law that I really needed a creative outlet. I’d come home from long days at the office and draw, paint, and sculpt from clay, wire – even candy.
Innumerable confusions and a feeling of despair invariably emerge in periods of great technological and cultural transition.
Background checks, waiting periods, reports of transfers, and access to mental health records have not stopped the legal sale of firearms to legitimate buyers.
It’s fun to do accents; it’s fun to do different periods – that’s why you become an actor. Because it’s fun to be a storyteller and play make-believe.
One of these topics we talk about with the team on our ‘Competition Wednesday’ is iron sharpening iron. That’s the process we go through to get each other ready, and that’s why we have some periods where we get to compete against one another.
More than periods where I don’t write anything, I have periods where I just write junk and I know I’m writing junk but I can’t stop.
The kindness and affection from the public have carried me through some of the most difficult periods, and always your love and affection have eased the journey.
When somebody takes themselves seriously that’s fodder for comedy. I think every musician goes through certain periods of their career where they’re all guilty of that – Spandau Ballet included.
One writes fables in periods of oppression.
Most writers battle with periods of being blocked; it’s almost an occupational hazard. But in the writing of his last and greatest novel, ‘A Passage to India,’ E. M. Forster got stuck for nine years.
I watch a lot of ESPN. I just kind of keep it on for long periods of time and watch guys yell at each other about sports things.
As an actress, you’re perpetually about to be unemployed. That fear – when you have two parents who worked 9-to-5 jobs and went through periods of being unemployed – is real. Those were not welcome times in my childhood.
I’ve gone through terrible periods of depression. But, at the core of my being, there’s a strange, out-of-place optimist. Despite what I’m feeling, I’m always able to get up and do my job. Which means the world to me.
In the periods of my career when I stopped passing the ball forward or when I stopped looking for the risky pass that might open up a defence, the consequences were the same. The manager stopped picking me. I got back into the team when I went back to doing it the way he wanted.
For me, the challenge of a period film is that, unlike a contemporary film where the character can be very free-form when it comes to the acting, there’s a burden to acting in a period film because you have to stay within the character’s historical background and the gestures of certain periods.
