Comic-book movies are mythology, in a way, and there are a lot more parallels in them with what’s going on in the real world than people want to discuss.
There are so many glamorous actresses, but you know what? In the real world, nobody looks like that.
Life would be very dreary if there were no magic. If the real world were only that veil of tears, I just don’t think could get up in the morning.
Unless and until I can see an opportunity of actually reversing Brexit and restoring a stable membership of the European Union, then in the real world I concentrate on minimising the damage.
Since I started working at 15 and never went to college, I didn’t know what it was like to be in the real world. I was in my bubble – until I got married, my life was either in a car, on the set, or on location.
Each time I’m starting to work on a film, even if I love to settle the plot in the real world, I start to think about the plot as a fairy tale, or a dream, or a nightmare… As if it was the best way to tell the truth about characters or narration, instead of realism.
I think YouTube used to have a negative connotation, like it was the place where the rejects went and made careers, but I’m proud to be YouTuber. I wanted to be in that first generation of YouTube stars who transitioned into the ‘real world.’ It was a really good way to build my business.
It started getting too crazy with ‘Earth A.D.’ The concepts started becoming too brutal and violent. It was less about fiction and more about the real world, the past, present, and future. I think a lot of people got freaked out by that.
The real world is far too complex and unpredictable to make something like the idea of humanity controlling its own evolution or engineering itself – well, I wouldn’t say impossible but it should be approached with a degree of caution.
It’s all discipline and schedule for me. I mean, it’s very easy to get distracted by the real world and things that intrude constantly, and it takes dedication to live totally in your head and be tuned out.
Being in the entertainment industry, I do have some privileges, but when I’m off sets and in the real world, I’m a trans individual whose rights and safety have been taken away.
I’m a big fan of good grades. But I am going to suggest to you that you will find that the skills of a student are of somewhat less use to you once you get out into what is sometimes referred to as ‘the real world.’
As one of the first African-Americans to be out on a reality program, MTV’s ‘The Real World: Philadelphia,’ I understand the courage it takes to live your truth on a national platform, the importance it holds to LGBT communities of color, and the power it has to create a greater conversation within American culture.
I strive never to forget the real world consequences of my decisions on individuals, businesses and government.
I just think too many nice things have happened in string theory for it to be all wrong. Humans do not understand it very well, but I just don’t believe there is a big cosmic conspiracy that created this incredible thing that has nothing to do with the real world.
I was always interested in making clothing that is worn by people in the real world.
I just wasn’t academic. I wanted to be in the real world.
I consider most of the talent in the financial world to be suboptimal. It could be better placed earning its living in the real world.
We won’t sit idly by when a crime is committed in the real world. So why should we when it happens in cyber space?
The real world is far more hellish for all us than any fictional representation of it.
If you’re a documenter, you’re taking a video of something in the real world you want to capture. If you’re a director, you’re trying to create something in the real world.
In the family, writing wasn’t anything anyone understood – being a writer in the real world? How could it be? We didn’t have those mirrors.
I want content that is relevant to my life, that is relevant to me, that is set in the real world.
I really think more fledgling novelists – and many current and even established novelists – should get out into the real world and cover local politics, sports, culture, and crime and write it up on deadline.
In 2007, I discovered I was a father to a little boy who I did not know about. After being on MTV’s ‘The Real World’ and traveling the world, I was greeted by a stack of papers on my doorstep informing me that I had a child.
You know that moment in ‘The Matrix’ when Neo takes the red pill and is plunged into the real world? That’s what it felt like when I first read ‘Watchmen’ – like someone was taking a can opener to my head to make room for Moore’s audacious brilliance.
There have been a lot of events that have made me really look at the real world, like September 11th. There are so many things that just make you realize that you’re not going to live forever and that you have to enjoy every day.
I wish I could make music about politics. I feel like it’s such an art and a talent that I admire tremendously, but when I step into the studio, I step out of the real world, and it’s therapeutic.
Television is generally on the conservative side, so if you’re seeing it represented on TV, that probably means it’s really out there in the real world.
Thus, the poet’s word is beginning to strike forcefully upon the hearts of all men, while absolute men of letters think that they alone live in the real world.
I used to hate iPhones. Before I got an iPhone, I used to be like, ‘What are you doing, sitting there on your phone. Join the real world, man.’ I categorically disliked iPhones. When my friends got an iPhone, I was like, ‘Oh, we lost him.’
Told that the passing grade is a B or competence and that we will help you to get there, students do competent work. The lowest passing grade in the real world is competence. Why do schools accept so much less?
I think it’s sad to me that I had to make a decision to not play the game that I feel like I’m best at and that I love. But if it was just about the game itself, I’d be there in a heartbeat. But that’s not how the real world works.
Trust your gut instinct over spreadsheets. There are too many variables in the real world that you simply can’t put into a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets spit out results from your inexact assumptions and give you a false sense of security. In most cases, your heart and gut are still your best guide.
The difference between a Marvel superhero and a DC superhero is that we place Marvel superheroes in the real world that we recognize and that we know.
It was great, because as far as playing such an iconic character that Cinderella is from the Disney world, walking into such a raw and authentic environment – even though it’s the real world, and it’s Jacinda, it’s still Cinderella that’s being cursed, and now she’s in the real world as Jacinda.
To try to teach ignoring technology is to ignore the progress that we have made over the last century. If school is preparation for the real world – a real world that is increasingly technology-driven – then to ignore technology is to become obsolete.
One of the biggest mistakes a photographer can make is to look at the real world and cling to the vain hope that next time his film will somehow bear a closer resemblance to it.
The dojo system in Japan is something very unique. It prepared me not only for wrestling in the States and around the world, but it also prepared me for how to handle myself as an adult in the real world.
My mom did a good job making sure I worked for everything I got. Really, it just helped me realize the real world and how people who don’t have everything have to work for stuff.
The way that worms and viruses spread on the Internet is not that different from the way they spread in the real world, and the way you quarantine them is not that different, either.
I was born in D.C. on 8th Street. I know what’s up. I know what time it is. I used to hang out in Brooklyn and in the Bronx as a teenager. I know what the real world is like.
Social media has emboldened an army of online Islamophobes; in the real world, mosques have been firebombed and politicians line up to condemn Muslim terrorism/clothing/meat/seating arrangements.
I don’t feel there’s a difference between the real world and the fairy-tale world. They contain psychological truths and, I guess, projections of what the culture that tells them thinks about various things: men, women, aging, dying – the most basic aspects of being human.
Rational beliefs bring us closer to getting good results in the real world.
The worst thing we can do is graduate kids who aren’t prepared for the real world.
In high fashion, we’re always accused of doing things that are not very relevant, not the real world. I know that it’s important sometimes to do fantasy, but I felt like touching people and going back to different women and men, especially the idea of different ages and body shapes.
Sometimes in the real world, there is fire between people.
I seem to get totally wrapped up in teaching and working with students during the school year. During the summer, I try to spend time in the real world, writing code for therapy and perhaps for some useful purpose.
In the real world, there’s probably nothing more horrifying than racism. Living racism is a horrifying experience. And then, having to normalize it and internalize it.
