My life could have easily gone another way. But I had this one teacher who gave me direction and got me into performing. She got me into touring with an educational play called ‘The Inner Circle’ along with Pedro Zamora from MTV’s ‘The Real World.’
If you look at music, you see theme, variation, you see symmetry, asymmetry, you see structure, and these are related to skills in the real world.
If you think about it, it requires a lot of effort and time and energy to make money in the real world, and if they made games equally as difficult to make money in, people wouldn’t play them. So they are generally designed to be hyper-inflationary because that’s more fun.
‘Lost’ was filmed in Hawaii, so we stayed there and loved it, so we thought, ‘Why would we leave?’ It is a bit like growing up in a bubble, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing, as you will eventually get out and see the real world.
I’m not such an artist type that I can’t handle the real world. I read the financial pages, because most people don’t talk about art.
I tend to be so lost in the work that I don’t notice the weather. My partner will come home and say, ‘Beautiful day, wasn’t it?’ and I’ll say, ‘Was it?’ as I won’t have noticed the real world at all.
It’s really hard coming of age in today’s society, where society wants you to make the decision of what you want to do with your life by the time you’re 16 years old. Most kids don’t know what they want to do. How could they? They haven’t lived in the real world yet.
If we limit our vision to the real world, we will forever be fighting on the minus side of things, working only too make our photographs equal to what we see out there, but no better.
In the real world, immeasurable hurt is caused by terrorists based in Pakistan who attack countries like India.
They don’t actually see the real world, where 95% of the people with HIV are not treated and are dying. And even though we have some blue sky now in our country, the sky could become cloudy again very soon.
When I became my masked identity I was this incredible little nerd, but in the real world I had to be this tough kid from the neighborhood.
What the real world of 1941 needed most was the release and relief provided by laughter.
I kept a steel wall around my moral and sexual instincts – protecting them, I thought, from the threats of the real world. This gave me a tremendous advantage in politics, if not in my soul. The true me, my spiritual core, slipped further and further from reach.
The whole point of college is to find yourself, to figure out things before you go into the real world.
You don’t get second chances in the real world.
I don’t like false happy endings, and I don’t think the real world is such a forgiving place.
When I see kids who naturally get A’s and who naturally score high on tests and the teachers naturally like them because they require the least amount of management – when they come out into the real world, I find they’re very poor at getting through obstacles. And life is about solving obstacles.
Kenya, being a third world country, from a young age your eyes are open to the real world. I’d like to think growing up there taught me to stand on my own two feet, make my own decisions about what I wanted to be.
We want to be this platform, where just like building things in the real world, players can participate in a wide range of ways.
That is what I’m looking forward to the most, practical learning. I want to be a registered nurse so getting to talk to people who already work in those jobs can really teach me what to expect when I get out in the real world.
The second Cocoon questions that and deals much more directly with the value of living in the real world with its trials and tribulations. I would say it’s about that and not about aging or death.
It is easy to criticize, particularly in a political season. But to lead is something altogether different. The leader must live in the real world of the price that might be paid for the goal that has been set.
Where other people live in an artificial world, I feel I live in the real world. And nothing beats reality.
Finding your place as an artist is the hardest thing. You come out of college with what feels like a Mickey Mouse degree that qualifies you for nothing in the real world.
Basically with everything, I choose my criteria based on what can be easy. If I made the real world the setting, I’d have to draw looking at reference materials for stuff like buildings and vehicles. When you do that, people complain even if it’s just a little bit off.
If Hamas wants to be part of the real world, it has to end up accepting Israel’s right to exist.
I created ‘America’s Next Top Model’ one-hundred percent. I was in my kitchen making tea one morning, and I looked out the window, and the idea popped into my head. I wanted it to be ‘American Idol’ meets ‘Ford Supermodel of the Year’ meets ‘The Real World.’
I still have a photo on my wall of the greatest idol I will ever have in my life, and it’s myself at eight. Because that’s when the forces of imagination have the same value as the real world, when they’re an instrument of survival: when my mother disappeared, and I imagined a mother. That was me at my best.
There’s a little bit of protocol in the real world which is quite important. If you speak to me, we understand that we’ve entered into a social contract. But sound that you haven’t given permission to receive is noise, and generally unwelcome.
I tried out for another show while I was in college so I could pay off my student loans, and it sort of led to The Real World. The same people that were casting that show were casting The Real World, so they asked me to do it.
There are times when the voice of repining is completely drowned out by various louder voices: the voice of government, the voice of taste, the voice of celebrity, the voice of the real world, the voice of fear and force, the voice of gossip.
I feel that good fantasy will always be in demand. I think children especially need literature that helps them escape from the real world, which is very scary to them right now.
Coming from a YouTube perspective, a lot of times you kind of limit yourself and think, ‘Oh, artists from the real world wouldn’t want to work with someone who’s made their career on YouTube.’ But more and more, I’m realizing that artists from both sides are learning that we can benefit from each other.
Can we please agree that in the real world, corporations exist for one purpose and one purpose only – to make as much money as possible, which means cutting costs as much as possible?
But in fantasy, you can make a complete break, and you can put people in a situation where they are confronted with things that they would not confront in the real world.
Often, in the real world, it’s not the smart that get ahead but the bold.
When you’re in school, every little mistake is a permanent crack in your windshield. But in the real world, if you’re not swerving around and hitting the guard rails every now and then, you’re not going fast enough. Your biggest risk isn’t failing; it’s getting too comfortable.
Cyberspace is colonising what we used to think of as the real world. I think that our grandchildren will probably regard the distinction we make between what we call the real world and what they think of as simply the world as the quaintest and most incomprehensible thing about us.
I graduated from university with a degree in architecture and then ended up doing a series of internships with different firms. And once I was in an office environment, I realized that at school what I was doing was 98 percent creative, 2 percent makework, but in the real world, it was the other way around.
Just leaving the brotherhood I have made at Georgia, the staff and all my coaches. They’ve prepared me for the real world. I’m really going to miss that. But I feel like they’ve prepared me for the real world, to be a man.
I removed ‘cyberspace’ from my vernacular. The idea, which I grew up with, of going into a place separate from the real world, is something my students just don’t recognise.
I am a generous man, by nature, and far more trusting than I should be. Indeed. The real world is risky territory for people with generosity of spirit. Beware.
When you’re on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It’s pretty intense.
There are few things as seemingly untouched by the real world as a child asleep.
It’s sad that children don’t spend enough time looking around and being amazed by what’s in the real world.
For me, a good thriller must teach me something about the real world. Thrillers like ‘Coma,’ ‘The Hunt for Red October’ and ‘The Firm’ all captivated me by providing glimpses into realms about which I knew very little – medical science, submarine technology and the law.
Ultimately, criticism that ‘The Real World’ has devolved into a lesser enterprise comes from the viewers who came of age alongside it, not the teens of the moment that MTV has always existed for.
Mathematics is a place where you can do things which you can’t do in the real world.
Movies like ‘Gul Makai’ carry an important message, such movies should be made as it shows us the struggle people go through in the real world.
I think that you should definitely listen to what people say, because everyone says it: High school is not the real world.
