Strip away the phony tinsel of Hollywood and you’ll find the real tinsel underneath.
I enjoyed dressing in Indian clothes. I loved those long, single-piece garments that come down to the knees and the white pyjamas you wear underneath.
On the first two albums, I essentially began with lyrics and placed the music underneath or around the words.
Maybe I didn’t get new skates, but I got used skates. I made it to the national championships in used skates that were custom-made for another girl. I still have those skates. Underneath the arch, there was a name crossed out and my dad had ‘Michelle Kwan’ written in. Granted, they were a little big, but it worked.
I’ve done so many movies that are bad, with material that’s so shallow, that you instantly scratch the surface, and there’s nothing underneath.
My dad always speaks HIS truth. Sometimes it can be off-putting, polarizing, and misunderstood but underneath it all has a heart of gold and would do anything for his family.
‘Where is your million-dollar shirt?’ I’m like, ‘It’s underneath these $25 Hanes T-shirts I’ve got on.’
When you walk, you need the leg to swing back and forth underneath you. It needs to flex at a certain point, then extend as you follow through your gait. Now, that function doesn’t really help at all while I’m standing on my dirt bike or snowmobile.
Whether you’re writing a horror show or a James Bond film, I think what bubbles beneath is interesting characterization. The colors that emerge through storytelling is what a dramatist does. There’s always got to be something bubbling underneath that will erupt at some point.
I’ve played a lot of characters who are creeps or weirdos, with a deep darkness underneath the surface.
What the ultrafast laser does is that because it doesn’t have to just cut from the surface, it’s only at the intense focal point that it does this damage where the electrons come off the atoms, you could actually put your laser and scan it over your cornea and it would cut underneath that.
The important thing about any book is that you have to have a good story and that it has to be exciting. Then it’s nice to add other levels underneath that people can pick up on.
More than anything, I like a jacket. You can do anything with a great jacket, the bigger the better. You can have any silhouette underneath. It gives you an attitude. It makes a gown look cool.
People think if you’re working class, there has to be some fascist element underneath.
It’s not a pretty face, I grant you. But underneath its flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
He was so confident. But underneath that, behind the scenes, I knew Michael Jordan was a country kid from North Carolina, and it was that simple to him. He was a young man, at heart, who wanted to be one of the guys who loved to play and was willing to do whatever was necessary.
The ability to make new work from old work – especially if that new work is different enough that it doesn’t dent the market for the old work – is something that benefits all creators, since so few can claim not to have a giant or 10 supporting them underneath.
OPN is completely off the grid. Its like the slime underneath techno and other synth-oriented music.
I’m a great mother because of my intentions on being a great mother; I’m a good friend because I’m loyal; I’m a good daughter because I’ve hopefully made my mother proud; I’m a great human being because I accept that there’s a spiritual being underneath it all. I’ve always been a woman of faith.
I think hidden underneath a lot of teachers are very sexy women.
Whatever is underneath all the drag, it actually doesn’t really matter. It kind of just matters, are you a great entertainer? And are you nice to work with? Are you good at your job?
I have never been too concerned about things you’re supposed to be concerned about as a singer. Pitch is important, and so is sounding good. But I think there’s something underneath all that.
That’s the novelist’s job: to peel back the layers and look underneath.
