To get art nowadays, in cinema or books or anything, that grapples with the possibility of a meaningless universe… it just doesn’t happen any more. In even the most indie of the indie films, everything has to come to some kind of neat conclusion.
God – a disease we imagine we are cured of because no one dies of it nowadays.
I detest ‘Jingle Bells,’ ‘White Christmas,’ ‘Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,’ and the obscene spending bonanza that nowadays seems to occupy not just December, but November and much of October, too.
Nowadays, most educated people would just as soon stay home and watch ‘Breaking Bad’ as shell out a hundred bucks to see a Broadway play – assuming that there are any plays on Broadway worth seeing, which long ago ceased to be a safe bet.
Nowadays, everyone broadcasts everything about their life – I think vampires are really sexy because there’s so much that you don’t know about them. There’s a lot of mystery.
What people actually refer to as research nowadays is really just Googling.
It’s such a weird thing nowadays, too, when people are fans of the songs and not the bands.
Without naming names, I definitely think that celebrities nowadays are really having better surgery. It’s looking a lot more natural than ever which is really great.
Nowadays it is the fashion to emphasize the horrors of the last war. I didn’t find it so horrible. There are just as horrible things happening all round us today, if only we had eyes to see them.
I came to declare that I am a friend to Arabs, at a time when it is not easy to be friend to Arabs, because nowadays those who have ambitions and interests would not befriend Arab.
With social media, with Instagram and selfies and all these apps that are trying to make you look perfect… it’s hard for girls to grow up nowadays with all that stuff.
Nowadays you need so much money to be able to launch a new artist, notably in America; you would hardly believe the sums involved.
I enjoy tennis, though don’t play very often nowadays, and skiing… oh yes and swimming.
People are getting smarter nowadays; they are letting lawyers, instead of their conscience, be their guide.
I think nowadays, women are breaking the borders or the boundaries and also trying to give a new interpretation in terms of impact you can have to the society.
I can’t have cinema popcorn because it’s all full of sugar, unfortunately. Well, I do have it and I don’t have it. I love movie night and there’s lots of healthy brands of popcorn nowadays, so it’s good as a snack.
Nowadays, it’s so silly to not express your feelings, as long as you respect peoples’ spaces and respect their limits. You have to live your life in peace, and no one has anything to do with that.
We take so many of our freedoms for granted nowadays – I can travel where I like, I can have a baby when I like, I can do any job I want – but I do think chivalry has been lost a little bit.
I feel nowadays a lot of bands can be too overly produced. There’s something about the leather pants and bare bodies and Axl Rose running back and forth on a stage and going crazy. I love all that.
Celebrity nowadays is so fleeting.
I think 19 years, what I’ve done, you see nowadays people get there with money and so on, but they last one or two years. To be able to have lasted that long, it’s still impressive for me. I had a blast being a Formula 1 driver.
Kids are smart nowadays, they are much more aware of their surroundings than we were 20 years ago, but at the same time it is important that they are guided as a friend when they go through adolescence.
No one can be an unbeliever nowadays. The Christian Apologists have left one nothing to disbelieve.
Best, I’d advise, to give up all animal products obtained by cruel methods. There are some fine companies nowadays offering leather substitutes.
Nowadays, you can’t broadcast dodgy special effects and then put up a caption saying, ‘Sorry, this is what the budget was.’ You have to do it with high production values because the audience has been spoilt by the special effects on things like ‘The X Files’ and ‘Independence Day.’
Nice clothes fall apart. Nice clocks don’t work. Bits fall off the nice cooker. It is hard to accept that pricing is unrelated to quality, but it’s plainly true. Nowadays, we pay the price that satisfies our particular personality type; and then we live with the painful consequences.
It’s hard to be a celebrity nowadays. It’s not about your track record anymore. If you have a great movie, you’re good. If not, people are ready to write you off. I think the only ones who are really winning are people like Will Smith. People go, ‘Oh, it’s Will Smith. I’ve got to see him, whatever he’s in.’
Be very clear as to what your dream is. Nowadays it is fairly certain that 90 percent of all actors really just want to be rich and famous as the solution to all that ails.
Nowadays, people are re-making old songs and that’s good for us because the teenage audiences will get to know who the singer was and who is singing now.
Nowadays, people don’t ask you how you are, they say, ‘Are you busy?’ meaning, ‘Are you well?’ If someone actually does ask you how you are, the most cheerful answer, of course, is a robust ‘Busy!’ to which the person will reply ‘Good!’
Nowadays the audience has changed. No one can anticipate the audience.
The business of a bank is to lend money; which amounts, nowadays, to lending credit.
I think the goal is always to be both. I put more effort into the technical side of my riding, but style is very important nowadays.
I’ve been married three times. I married the girl next door when I was 22, and I wasn’t a good husband, but I wasn’t a good anything then. Nowadays, I’m much kinder.
My set on why I won’t have kids, and especially the mention of how expensive it is to have kids nowadays, always gets a great response.
Nowadays, everybody wanna be weird. We know how to manifest being weird.
Nowadays, it has become a custom to criticise the BJP for everything.
Nowadays there is more dynamism in chess, modern players like to take the initiative. Usually they are poor defenders though.
In the 1970s the government propped up managers who couldn’t run their industries properly. Nowadays they prop up our lousy managers who can’t run our services properly.
Nowadays you don’t get to see composition in a movie because nobody ever keeps the camera still long enough to see it. Actors don’t have the thrill and the power of working with space.
I love the challenge of having one character who is traveling back in time to find someone. Nowadays, the only way we think to find someone is on Facebook.
Players have to adapt nowadays, and if you have a good football brain, if you can read the game, you can manage it.
I travel so much that life has become a matter of honing things down to the barest essentials. Nowadays, I almost never go anywhere with anything more than hand luggage – and a laptop.
Traditionally the show must go on which is a stupid thing to say, but that in a nutshell is what’s going on. We have a new record out; if we won’t tour, the new record dies. It’s reality – it’s what business is nowadays. You just need to tour to sell your albums.
Nowadays, television has taken over big time and I’m really enjoying my stints there.
You’ve got be a good communicator in almost any job nowadays – but if you’re enthusiastic and committed in your job, good things will come your way.
A book is full of ideas. You just live with what you read for so much longer. A lot of the times, nowadays, with a movie or TV show, it’s like, ‘Oh, it’s entertainment!’ And you never think about it again.
When I read ‘The Master’, I felt that I had read a true classic. It’s so rare nowadays that you have that feeling: it was a privilege to read it.
You cannot just be the feature act, not that that’s a bad thing, because that’s a good thing, especially nowadays. But as an artist, you want to express yourself and you want to know what you want to express.
I do love the social-media aspect of working records nowadays. You can do a video and put it up on social media, and people check you out who would never check you out before. I think it’s much cooler that you can just get the product right to the fans.
In a mass television democracy – which all of us nowadays have – it is impossible to take basic political decisions with long-term consequences without the public knowing it, without the public understanding at least some of it, without the public forming its judgment, heterogeneous as it may be.
Nowadays, the process of growth and development almost never seems to manage to create this subtle balance between the importance of the individual parts, and the coherence of the environment as a whole. One or the other always dominates.
Nowadays they have 12 directors and 15 producers and 30 writers. And all the writers want their lines said a certain way-which isn’t necessarily funny. I mean the lines aren’t necessarily so funny to begin with.
To be a top-class athlete, you have to train hard, you have to eat right, you have to get enough rest. I feel the way golf is going nowadays, you have to treat yourself as an athlete.
Junk DNA – or, as scientists call it nowadays, noncoding DNA – remains a mystery: No one knows how much of it is essential for life.
