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.
The House of Peers, throughout the war, did nothing in particular, and did it very well.
Having the respect of your peers means the world to me.
To me, my peers are Bruce Springsteen and Mick Jagger. I’m not talking age-wise, but in terms of careers. Madonna. Those are my peers. And I’m okay with that.
I went to a Christian primary school where I felt included and no different to my peers.
The secret of my success is that I deeply respect and learn from my peers and customers.
I have at times spoken with my peers and the head of the actors’ union about why we’re not paid when we appear in, say, a ‘TMZ’ production, but there seems to be no real interest in combatting it.
I know that my peers around the NBA respect me and I have respect around the NBA.
As an actor, you know when you’ve got great material in front of you. When you’re working, you think, ‘Is this the one? The one that everyone will respond to and be moved by?’ You pray that you have told the story well… that your peers will see it and audiences will love it.
When I was younger, I did a TV show in the U.K. for a couple years, and I learned a lot from that. It taught me a lot about being known amongst your peers and having to deal with a lot of derision from them.
I don’t read reviews, but I do get feedback from my peers and people I know, like other actors and directors and producers.
The thing I believe is we are good if our peers think we’re great. But we are great if the real world thinks we’re good. And there’s a huge difference.
It’s never my goal to throw any of my peers under the bus.
I know how gratifying it is not only to work in film but to be acknowledged by peers; producing ‘9 to 5’ was an opportunity that I valued precisely because it’s so rarely in the hands of women.
Children that are raised in a home with a married mother and father consistently do better in every measure of well-being than their peers who come from divorced or step-parent, single-parent, cohabiting homes.
I have so many peers who say, ‘I need to get away from my parents,’ because even though they love the business and they love their parents, they feel like they are letting their parents down if they don’t work to the bone. As a parent, you should be the safe place.
Obviously, you want to get adoration from fans and people who consume what you do, but also getting that from your peers goes a long way. That’s how I keep my perspective. I feel really fortunate.
It’s like, ‘Oh, well of course you want gay marriage, you’re gay.’ I think when heterosexual people are talking to their peers and they’re like, ‘This is an equal rights thing,’ it’s a little bit easier.
I started growing my audience in small clubs through word-of-mouth. I started making music that isn’t necessarily commercially viable, and it’s not necessarily marketable to my peers to a certain extent.
I really enjoy working with younger actors. I just feel like we’re all peers together.
A wise man has to always listen to the peers he surrounds around himself. That’s why you surround yourself with other smart people. Captain Kirk keep Mr. Spock right beside him.
In ‘Forbidden Love,’ my character is a divorcee who has an affair with a young doctor. They are blissfully happy and have everything going for them. But their peers, friends, her daughter, and his family disapprove, and the affair ends.
It’s sometimes comical to hear the younger generation ask their peers to repeat themselves.
Obviously, having your peers’ respect is everything. I learned that a long time ago: that some people see you one way, some people see you another way, but having your peers’ respect is what’s really important.
I was never considered cool throughout my teens: a very important time to be accepted by someone, especially your peers. Yes, I had all the screaming women, but the guys hated my guts.
What teenagers want most of all are social rewards, especially the respect of their peers.
I’ve changed my whole angle for dance. I’m moving towards moving back rather than hanging out with my peers. I’m reaching back to older dudes for a second.
In education, technology can be a life-changer, a game changer, for kids who are both in school and out of school. Technology can bring textbooks to life. The Internet can connect students to their peers in other parts of the world. It can bridge the quality gaps.
A lot of my peers, be seniors or juniors, they’ll text me or they’ll call me and they’ll say, ‘Thank you for doing the music that you do because it pushes the genre forward in different ways.’ It’s a very rewarding thing to hear.
Any time you can be voted a captain by your peers is always a great thing.
I play with a lot of great peers around the NFL – to even be mentioned with those guys is something special.
I was champion, off and on, for quite a few years, and I never missed one title match from an injury. I got hurt lots of times, but the reality is you’ve got so much pinned on you and so much tied onto you, the company and your peers can’t afford for you to get hurt.
It’s natural to want to have the things your peers do, adopting a lifestyle that lets you have the best of all worlds, but it’s a trap. Don’t let any person, thing or even a lifestyle have the power to control you. Learn to break free and be independent.
To have the appreciation from your peers, the fans and the company you work for is the ultimate reward. For me, that has always been ultimate because respect has always been the most important thing to me in this business.
To be named as one of the finalists for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2010 on Friday was a special moment for me. As a player, it’s something that you dream about. It’s an honor that you have to earn based on your career and the respect from your peers around you.
It’s kinda nice to be remembered by your peers and your fans, because you can achieve a lot of success and be a creep too! But we try to be nice, just normal people.
I have found that what drives me is the desire to prove, to myself and to my peers, that I can do what I set out to do and build something that matters.
I have incredible respect for customers and peers – my curriculum is very strong because I was taught by my clients’ reactions to my work.
If a scientist sidesteps their scientific peers, and chooses to take an apparently changeable, frightening and technical scientific case directly to the public, then that is a deliberate decision, and one that can’t realistically go unnoticed.
I feel like my peers now are artists like Madonna and the Stones, Michael Jackson and Prince. These are people who were able to take their careers beyond the normal here-today-gone-tomorrow life span.
I enjoy social media, but I don’t take it as gospel. Yes, it can make me feel insecure if I see my peers doing more than me. You have to remind yourself it’s a marketing tool, a facade, but that’s easier when you are older.
The early cyberpunk idea was that networked computers would let us do our work at home, as freelancers, and then transact directly with peers over networks. Digital technology would create tremendous slack, allow us to apply its asynchronous, decentralized qualities to our own work and lives.
I’m so honored to have so many supporters – from my peers to the industry to country radio – on this crazy journey with me. You all have absolutely changed my life.
I’ll be honest, there’s a part of me that does think I’m held to a different standard than my contemporaries and peers, and it’s a little frustrating.
It was like baptism by fire. There was no school for studying acting. You just have to take it upon yourself to learn from your peers. It’s about opening your eyes, listening, and watching.
Students who have spent their childhood here in Florida deserve to qualify for the same in-state tuition rate at universities their peers and classmates do.
I’ve always been a big guy – I was much larger and stronger than my peers when I was 13 years old.
The three of us just try put our heads down and stay creative. The awards truly are just cake. It’s one of those things that you never expect, but getting the head nod from either the fans or your peers, that’s the ultimate compliment.
The fact is, employees cannot make breakthroughs if they can’t openly and honestly disagree with their peers and their leader. Indeed, great leaders don’t just permit conflict; they actively try to elicit it from reluctant employees as well.
I’ve demanded respect for myself and my band and my peers, I’ve demanded full artistic control for my music, I advocate for artists and music education wherever I can. And I’m a nice guy.
I remember the general anxiety of teenager, and I remember establishing some sort of appearance based on what my peers would think. And cliques, oh my God, the worst. The worst!
The idea of being with my peers at a real school seemed much more exciting than making movies.
Doing a thing by law, or according to law, is only carrying the law into execution. And punishing a man by, or according to, the sentence or judgment of his peers, is only carrying that sentence or judgment into execution.
