Among Korean immigrants the majority tends to be Christian, because that was the way they immigrated to America – through the support network of churches. I grew up with faith being an important fabric of my life. That comes with my life in the South – it was just a given that you believe.
One thing I have found over years is that if you change direction, the initial reaction tends to be very polarized, but as the music gradually filters through and fans start engaging with it on its own terms rather than comparing it to what went before, the appreciation and acceptance of it increases.
Self-esteem, the kind that comes from finding the sweet spot between a healthy fondness for yourself and healthy self-skepticism, tends to get harder to come by the older we get.
But I think when you have something like the Green New Deal, which tends to be about big, bold ideas, instead of specifics, and then adds in other controversial topics like universal health care, and a guaranteed job for all Americans, it makes it less likely that it will pass, not more.
I just think Australia tends to make very good movies, so if someone hands me an Australian or an American film script I would guess the Australian film would be more intriguing.
My architecture tends to be legible, light and flexible. You can read it. You look at a building, and you can see how it is constructed. I put the structure outside.
I’m not a fan of grilling meat, since that tends to dry it out, and I find grill marks leave a bitter taste. A good steak house will offer different options for preparation, and I would ask them to broil or pan-roast the steak and finish it with butter. It ends up a dark chocolate color and stays very juicy.
Madonna’s like a black widow spider. She tends to use people, then they shrivel up and disappear.
I mean, we are tribal by nature, and sometimes success and material wealth can divide and separate – it’s not a new philosophy I’m sharing – more than hardship, hardship tends to unify.
Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored.
Ambition is a funny thing. In cricket, as in many professions, it tends to take you on a journey away from where you started. That’s fine, maybe inevitable. But no one ever tells you that the biggest days aren’t always the best days. And the richest prizes aren’t the ones you remember.
Ma Ying-jeou tends to use cross-strait policy as an election tool and a political tool, too, and my position is that we don’t use that as a political tool because that is an issue that is critical and essential to the interests of the Taiwanese people.
Economic growth tends to require the taking of resources from the Earth. So something has to change on a debt-based economy.
Power tends to protect itself merely to maintain its own status and control. Principle gives up power for the sake of creating the best public policy.
After spending time around Donald Trump I find myself inspired by his vision, thought process, keen insight, and overall discipline. He’s a brilliant thinker who tends to walk several steps ahead of the masses. I want to share his wisdom with the world in my own way.
I wasn’t always such a great fan of Shakespeare, mind you. I can guess we all at one time had it rammed down our necks at school, which tends to take the edge off it.
I can’t see the film industry coming to a grinding halt any time soon. I think we may be more open to negotiations and things like that, but I think the art world tends to thrive in times of recession.
People in chorus tends to be much more emotional or at least wear their hearts on their sleeve. They are generally the kind to hold hands and cry. It’s just a different personality type.
The more self-aware an animal is, the more empathetic it tends to be.
At times, the curve/fat/plus convo tends be this ‘out of the dark’ story, like, ‘I used to be insecure, but now here I am.’ But that is not my reality, and for most of the people, that isn’t their reality, either.
As you age, your blood pressure tends to get higher.
Democracy for us tends to be has to do with who shouts the loudest!
Country music tends to be so sentimental and homespun, it’s easy to stumble into self-parody, but Haggard has brought a freshness to the themes that places him alongside Hank Williams and Willie Nelson as one of the greatest country music writers.
If you do good work, it tends to stick around. People still come up to me and say, ‘The Ref’ is my favorite Christmas movie.’
Every good government is made up of good families. The unit of good government is the family, and anything that tends to destroy the family is perfectly devilish and infamous.
I try to put as little stuff into my hair as I can, which tends to be the best for it.
It’s that one thing that you’re passionate about, that you end up developing tunnel vision for and everything else tends to fall by the wayside. Passion is appealing and universal.
Cable news tends to be talking points – you don’t have that much time to substantively unpack an issue.
In India, the wicket tends to get a bit slower once the ball gets old, but in England, it’s pretty much the same whether it’s new ball or old ball.
My work generally tends to be an all-out, 360-degree subversive take on everything, most of all my own notion of myself as a son, father, husband, human being and male in this culture.
I would rather play a club show, just because it tends to make a much livelier show. You can connect with people when it’s a smaller crowd.
I haven’t done much art shopping in Vegas. It tends to be from galleries that are London- or L.A.- or New York-based. We’ve never had someone standing over our shoulder telling us something is a good investment.
I think everybody has different priorities in their life. People live their lives differently. People become famous through all sorts of different reasons… some of it through art and some of it through just wanting to be famous. And I think how that all starts tends to reflect how you live your life daily.
Every patient tends to bury the most important story inside some other story, just the way new writers often ‘bury the lede.’ ‘Burying the lede’ is an old journalism term for when you only find out the real point about halfway into the article, but it also applies to therapy.
What we do have is a system in which power tends to be awarded to people on the basis that they are corruptible.
Success is a wonderful thing, but it tends not to be the sort of experience that we learn from. We enjoy it; perhaps we even deserve it. But we don’t acquire wisdom from it.
Every form of government tends to perish by excess of its basic principle.
I think there’s a tide that tends to carry historians back to the past.
I have an avocado tree at my place in Los Angeles – it’s the smoother-skinned one, which tends to be a little stringy. Often the birds or raccoons get the avocados before I can harvest them. I have figs, too, which are great with prosciutto, of course. I have limes and lemons, which I use to make lemonade.
Official dignity tends to increase in inverse ratio to the importance of the country in which the office is held.
I think Tumblr tends to be – you can get more in-depth with things and more blogging, and Tumblr has been real great for me in terms of research because I have contacts with people from all walks of life all over the globe.
I know for me personally, I’m a person that tends to pull back from the people that love me when I’m going through something.
It’s your life. Live it with people who are alive. It tends to be contagious.
My first Olympics was Munich in 1972. I am better now than I was then, in knowledge and experience. The age of top riders generally tends to be older than in other sports because it takes a lot of time to be consistent.
Animation tends to have several different writers who serve different functions. I think, on a lot of animated features, there are a lot of writers who don’t get credited. It’s the policy at Disney, for instance, in deciding who gets credit. It depends on the writer’s contract, so many things.
Beethoven’s music tends to move from chaos to order, as if order were an imperative of human existence.
Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.
You could say that any book that takes a position is not fair, unless you keep saying, ‘On the one hand, on the other…’ and take a great deal of trouble to present both sides. That kind of journalism tends not to be very interesting.
Good rock music always tends to be around.
Most childhoods are full of anxiety, but that tends to get smoothed over, so you have a sense of nostalgia.
The media tends to report rumors, speculations, and projections as facts… How does the media do this? By quoting some ‘expert’… you can always find some expert who will say something hopelessly hopeless about anything.
Whereas for me, touring tends to be a very strange and isolating experience.
I’m interested in exploring how an individual maintains a sense of power in a world that tends to make individuals feel powerless.
The vice presidential candidate tends to be a bit of an afterthought.
Our culture tends to denigrate things that are associated with women. It’s OK for women to wear trousers, for example, but not OK for men to wear skirts.
