I thought Ray Lewis was 6-6, 275 pounds, all muscle. I did a commercial with him before I even got drafted to the Baltimore Ravens. I was like, ‘Oh, you’re not that tall.’ But it’s just something about that guy.
I never thought I could model, and I certainly never thought about acting. It’s just something that happened to me.
Free time keeps me going. It’s just something that’s always been a part of my life. I was originally a painter, and I made films sort of as an extension of that, and then I started to try to make dramatic films because the early films were experimental films.
Studies of immigration show that this resistance to heart disease is not just something in African or Chinese genes. When people move from low-risk to high-risk areas, disease rates skyrocket as they adopt Western diets and lifestyles.
To really be tortured by a song, it needs to be more than just something you don’t like or don’t get; it has to make your skin crawl by getting under it. Strangely, that last clause could describe provocative or daring music, as well.
I keep my face covered during concerts. That’s just something that is part of me, an artist, and I think it’s a cool concept and look. It is really inspired by my love for video games, especially with the videogame ‘Watchdog’ that I love.
Mash-ups have gained a lot of credibility between the fall of Danger Mouse’s infamous ‘Grey Album’ and the rise of Girl Talk’s overwhelming mega-mixes. There’s just something marvelous about hearing seemingly mismatched ideas work together, as two worlds collide to a heavy beat.
Something about writing needs a sort of distance not to be involved as a writer – just something that makes it easier to write. You have to make choices all the time – what to tell and what not to tell.
I have always been involved in some philanthropic work – growing up in the church, you always had to have a reasonable portion of service to the community and to people who have less, who need a helping hand. It’s just something in my heart that I know needs to be done.
I had a bunch of paintings around at my house, and someone said to me, ‘Why don’t you just put them on Instagram? Why don’t you show people these?’ And I didn’t want to – it was just something else I would have to do. But eventually, I was like, ‘What’s the harm?’ And the response was so insane!
I know I’m old-fashioned, but there’s just something about the act of looking at books versus taking in information on a screen, which is so one-dimensional. There’s a sense of ownership that you have with books, a physical connection.
Third, for people who aren’t doing it already, take classes – they’re worthwhile. Workshops or classes – a workshop is where you do actually get feedback on your work, not just something where you go and sit for a day.
I’d love to play in, like, a ‘Lord of the Rings,’ or something like that, or a James Bond or, you know, just something like with action, shooting.
Insecurity is just something that’s there all the time. I’ve never been crippled by it.
There is just something about being out in open country, about seeing the sun rise over a pond, that’s really beautiful.
There’s always two or three players I like, and why I like them, I can’t tell you. There’s just something about them I think would be great on a team.
He had a theory, Walt did, that the religious life, and all the agony that goes with it, is just something God sics on people who have the gall to accuse Him of having created an ugly world.
I think this is the biggest win in my career. To beat Venus in Wimbledon is just something amazing.
I worked my butt off in high school and received a lot of scholarships for college and to throw all that away for acting was tough for my family, but it was just something I felt my heart pulling me towards and don’t regret a single minute of it. I love to act!
There’s just something, maybe it’s the authenticity. I think that’s the appeal and why people choose to watch really unpolished and unprofessional videos on YouTube over these multi-million dollar television shows.
When I first started snowboarding, nobody trained off-hill. People weren’t going to the gym and getting stronger. Snowboarding was more self-expression, like skateboarding. It was just something you went and did. It wasn’t something you trained for.
For me, old age is just something that happens.
I’ve never had like many friends, I’ve had a few. It’s just something that’s in my character, in my personality.
With Scarlett Johansson, I always thought she was pretty, but then when I heard her sing, there was just something about her voice that made her really, really attractive to me. And I think she would be fun to hang out with.
Bailing on a company is just something you don’t do.
Basketball’s just something temporary that we do and we’re blessed to do, but life is way more precious than this ball that we play.
Fighting’s not me – it’s just something that I do.
It’s just something, ‘Should I run the team or should I score?’ I gotta learn how to balance that, and be more aggressive sometimes.
