When you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive.
Being in that other world of media, TV, Hollywood, it’s not a real world. For me going back to work, it was a pleasure to get back to the world I knew. That’s the real world. That’s normal for me.
My personal feeling about science fiction is that it’s always in some way connected to the real world, to our everyday world.
Rehearsing a scene beds a role into you. But sometimes, if you over-rehearse it without unearthing any new meaning in it, you can suddenly forget your lines. You realise that you are on a stage, not in the real world. The scene’s emotional power, and your immersion in it, disappears.
When you lead change, sometimes you get arrows in your back. I mean, that’s just the way the real world is.
We lost Chris Farley, John Belushi, James Gandolfini, and we need heavier-set people to represent the real world.
The real world doesn’t tell you that you were unbelievable after every match. A lot of times they are people that criticise you telling that you are not good enough. That’s just football. You have to be able to take it with a smile, and analyse it truthfully, and use it as motivation.
I write about spirituality not so we get strong from within and achieve some state of nirvana and then distance ourselves from the real world. I write about it so we can feel empowered to doing the critical work that this generation of black women are charged with doing.
If we are ever to cross the 100-nano barrier in electronics, we need to develop nano structures that let electrons move through, as they do through wires and semiconductors. And these structures must survive in the real world of air, water, boiling temperatures.
My forms are not abstractions of things in the real world. They’re also not symbols. I would say that my job is to invent these forms and to put them together in a way that keeps your interest, to give the forms a quirky identity so you can engage with them, so you realize there’s an inner intelligence or logic.
I was attracted to law school because I believed it would help me prepare for a career in the real world.
Now having said that, I realize that releasing a film in the real world is like trying to get General Motors to release a handmade car.
In the real world, some defense lawyers never have an innocent client in their whole career.
Spiritual people don’t float around all day on clouds of glory; they live in the real world and deal with real issues in real ways.
I don’t mind getting mobbed, to be honest. I live in the real world.
It’s very powerful to shut down your computer and escape into the real world.
It’s like Christmas every day playing in the NBA. You don’t have to worry about the real world and real issues. As you get older, you get more mature and you understand that. There’s so many other things going on that we have to shed light on to help these people any way we can.
In the real world, words don’t automatically translate into deeds.
I’ve written a detective series myself, set in an imaginary, and slightly futuristic, Chinese city. The novels have an extremely tenuous relationship with the real world, since the hero is the city’s Hell and ends up with a sidekick who is a demon.
People try to function in the real world – the analog world – while they’re texting in the digital world, and they run into the car in front of them. It doesn’t work to be in both.
Donald’s ego has been and is a fragile and inadequate barrier between him and the real world, which, thanks to his father’s money and power, he never had to negotiate by himself.
I have nothing but the best memories of growing up in New Jersey. Of course, I grew up in a nice town, a suburb. But Tenafly was right next to Englewood, which had a tremendous amount of racial tension in the ’60s. So I was aware of the real world.
I wouldn’t say Malkovich is totally insane, but he’s not living in the real world. He’s living in his world, which is a fine world to live in apparently.
What interests me is the connection between maths and the real world.
You can only really invent something if you connect yourself to the real world – whatever that means.
Virtual-reality researchers have long struggled to eliminate effects that distort the brain’s normal processing of visual information, and when these effects arise in equipment that augments or mediates the real world, they can be that much more disturbing.
I was 11 years old when I saw the first season of ‘The Real World.’ Initially, I was drawn to the show because it was what I imagined the adult version of my life should be.
The entertainment industry is a microcosm of the real world. To be ‘othered’ within the industry is a reflection of where we have been cast in the outside world, existing in the margins of society for decades witnessing cisgendered, heterosexual whiteness as the clearly defined default to which we must cater.
I’m quite good at Lego and Fifa, but they don’t translate in the real world.
As long as you keep one foot in the real world while the other foot’s in a fairy tale, that fairy tale is going to seem kind of attainable.
The way people express themselves online, that’s also how they express themselves in the real world.
I’ve been hiding from the real world all my life.
It’s been more than a decade since ‘The Real World: Philadelphia’ aired. I’ve grown up. My views have evolved, as has the media landscape.
In the real world in which we live, you always have to choose between evils. And in choosing between evils, you have to have moral criteria for how to make those choices.
Leaving Nickelodeon was definitely an adjustment. Because then, it was back to the real world of, ‘Now I’m an adult looking for a job,’ as opposed to a kid that’s getting introduced to all these people like, ‘Look how cute this little kid is. Don’t you want to put him on your show?’
I am flattered that so many people have resonated with my style and that beauty and fashion standards in the media continue to grow in their inclusivity and reflection of the real world.
I had had enough pretend. I wanted to be in the real world.
I do not believe in the concept of good and evil in my personal life, in the real world. I just don’t believe it. I never try to judge.
The Internet is a seemingly unreal environment where we think we are anonymous. It’s a potentially provocative place. As a result, we may not behave the way we would in the real world. Some of us are drawn into what could become a dangerous situation.
There’s a part of me that feels like it gets really frustrating to keep working in the manner that I made the book ‘Shortcomings,’ where everything is pretty accurate to the real world.
As a teenager, my father took me to the shows at the Architectural Association and to places like Milton Keynes back when it was first being built. But I couldn’t find anything for me. There seemed to be despair at the possibility of the built environment possessing any imagination in the real world.
People who are in politics to be right all the time would be better off taking up fly-fishing. It’s less dangerous. Politics that is not applied in the real world and doesn’t address the real challenges and paradoxes and agonies is a hobby.
In the real world, I kind of, like, thrived a little bit. The things that were awkward about me at school, like being hyper passionate… I realized, ‘Oh I’m my own person, and I have my own idiosyncrasies and nuances that I don’t mind.’
The real world is the fantasy writer’s scrapbook. Real history, real geography, real customs and religions are all invaluable sources of guidance and inspiration.
I’m a documentary image maker, still and moving, because keeping the real world on the agenda is really important at a time when we’re increasingly disconnected from parts of the world on whom we depend.
Stiles is a version of me that rarely exists in the real world. He’s so confident and extroverted, and I’m much more restrained and internal.
It’s true, I don’t like the real world.
One of the things about being a law student is that the academic discipline of law is very often removed from the practical reality of law. How to complain, who to complain to, and whether or not you even need to invoke the law is very different in the real world from how it’s examined in the lecture theatre.
The real world has always been far more exciting and funny and dangerous to me than anything somebody could conjure up sitting in front of a computer.
‘Line Of Duty,’ for dramatic purposes, tends to create characters whose corruption is balanced on certain ethical conflicts, whereas the majority of corruption in the real world is simply based on greed.
When I would hear the rabbi tell about some miracle such as a bush whose leaves were shaking but there wasn’t any wind, I would try to fit the miracle into the real world and explain it in terms of natural phenomena.
People are looking for a simplicity in their fictional worlds where good and evil are clearly delineated, that you can’t find in the real world, and that provides an enormous comfort – and that, I think, has an awful lot to do with the reason fantasy is so popular.
It’s important to stay normal and live in the real world. I know this is where you find happiness.
