I am partly not conscious of structure with my movies, but this is when I am writing. I leave my mind very free, and then I correct it after.
To my surprise, the more I searched about Qi Xiangfu, the more I found of a life lived partly online. He once wrote a short memoir in which he described himself in the third person, with the formality usually reserved for China’s most famous writers.
As a woman you have to tick all these boxes to be able to be on TV. I know I look a certain way and that’s partly why I’m on TV. If I were really ugly and fat, I don’t think I’d have had the same chance.
It is only partly true that religion does more harm than good in society. The community makes God into the image it wants, vengeful, or milky sweet, or scrupulously just, and so on.
Interior decoration partly thrives on being social.
But when I went to Harvard, it kind of got washed out of me, partly because people made fun of you in college. If you said you believed in God, they would look at you clinically, you know, suggest that you needed a referral.
The people-pleasing and performing is 100% ingrained in me, partly because I was a little brown girl growing up in a very white, homogeneous community in San Diego – where, in second grade, I was called a terrorist.
Professionally, I have no major goals. That’s partly because I’m really flaky. I want things, but I don’t go after them. I’d rather they be placed in my lap.
Some of my colleagues are unwilling to vote for any Dodd-Frank reforms, partly out of the political fear that any reforms will be seen as reducing regulations on the financial sector.
I had a reputation of being somewhat moderate, partly, I think, because I wasn’t a ‘bomb thrower’ like some of my conservative colleagues, and partly because I got along with people all across the political spectrum.
I’m certainly not a person who spends their every waking moment soaking themselves in signs and signals of the sort that cult studies people study; and it’s partly, I suppose, because some of those signs and signals aren’t worth bothering about. You have to be selective about these things.
I think partly the problem with Yes – and I’ve had this discussion with people from the Hall of Fame in the past – is that it’s going to be difficult to decide how many of the members of Yes you’re gonna put in it and how many you’re not because of the extensive membership of the band through the years.
There are huge pluses in Scottish archaeology that you simply don’t get elsewhere. Partly that’s to do with the tragedy of the clearances, and that so much of the landscape has been owned by so few people that didn’t want it messed around with.
The key to winning millennials is to stick to pragmatic solutions issue by issue. The millennial generation is characterized partly by their desire to see the system work – and they get that this system isn’t working. But they also want to be part of the solution.
Yes, the hunky barista looks even more terrifically masculine with three days’ growth on his chin. Guys under 50 mostly do. But when your beard is partly or largely grey, that stubble can just look a little unwashed. Sadly, when you’re over 50, different rules apply.
The point is that these decisions they’ve made are partly for your convenience and partly for theirs and partly out of stereotypes that they carry with them from the conventions of the computer field.
Acting is a stressful environment to put yourself into, and stress triggers Tourette’s, but I think it’s partly an outlet because when I’m acting, I’m putting my mind, body, and soul into something, and that’s one of the times during the day when I don’t tic.
The cyber threat has evolved dramatically since I left DOJ in 2005, partly just reflecting how much the digital world has itself evolved over that time. Back then, ‘tweeting’ was something only birds did.
Women don’t want to feel like they’re wearing makeup. I hope I was partly responsible for that.
Anyone working at HootSuite will tell you that I don’t sugarcoat my opinions. I heavily encourage feedback and suggestions – partly because I’m blunt about offering the same in return.
I knew I couldn’t do what Eddie Izzard does, so I just tried to write some stories that were based, or partly based, on my own experiences.
I’m not that comfortable with actors receiving honours, partly because I think they ought to go to those who really help others.
The thing I miss about L.A. is time. I feel like I had much more time there, partly because no one is ever really doing anything.
I spent many hours slaving away, day and night, bleary eyed, on multi-million pound takeovers, mergers and acquisitions, and the rest. It could sound glamorous (especially when it involved overseas travel) but often it wasn’t partly because, as a lawyer, you were not the one calling the shots.
The safety of the flying public should not be for sale. Handing air traffic control over to a private entity partly governed by the airlines is both a risk and liability we can’t afford to take.
I’m sure I would have been considered a more significant artist if I was a singer-songwriter. It’s just not the way I roll. I love being a curator and a musicologist. People write me letters and thank me for turning them on to Fred McDowell and Sippie Wallace, and that’s partly my job this time around.
We actually went public partly because we wanted companies to realise we were not going away.
It became clear to me by 1984 that Microsoft was likely going to be the big winner in the PC software apps and operating system category, partly because of the dynamics of owning and controlling the operating system: that gave you enormous power, and I came to see Bill Gates was fierce competitor.
Cirque du Soleil distinguished itself by being a circus with no animals. Before then, circus was partly about showing how man can tame other species.
When I started performing, I played acoustic music, partly because that way you don’t have to worry about interacting too much with other people creatively. Asserting myself in that way was not really a strong point for me.
When I auditioned for ‘Wedding Crashers,’ the producers had never seen any of my other work except for Bond. I got ‘Wedding Crashers’ partly because I was a Bond girl.
Allegations that President Clinton pardoned Marc Rich partly in return for donations to his presidential library have raised questions about the value of such institutions and the federal appropriations that support them.
I’ve become 40, my audience is partly the same age.
I live in New York, but I am always delighted to come to Europe because I am European and grew up here until I was 20. I am not only Italian, I am partly Swedish. When my parents divorced, I was three years old and went to live in Paris… when I am offered a film in Europe, I come with great enthusiasm!
The pleasure we derive from doing favors is partly in the feeling it gives us that we are not altogether worthless. It is a pleasant surprise to ourselves.
When we came into the studio I became more and more me, making the tracks and choosing the musicians, partly because a great deal of the time during Bridge, Artie wasn’t there.
The reality is that family is on the cards in the future. But you know in motorsport if you take yourself off to have children, you won’t come back, partly as you’re quickly forgotten in this sport.
My most successful song was ‘Language’ and I think partly because it’s a nice, dancey record, but I’ll see people cry in the audience to that song, and that’s so much more interesting to me than making someone just jump up and down.
But in the meantime I became accustomed to the writing life and it would be hard to change now – partly because of the salary cut if I went to my other love, teaching; and partly because I still have stories to tell, even though it isn’t all that fun doing the work anymore.
We discount the physical, when, in fact, much of life is physical. People’s personalities are partly formed by, or in response to, how they take up space; the physical mask has some relation, howsoever obscure, to the mental work happening underneath.
I’ve never been a waitress, hostess, bartender or any of the typical side jobs you’d expect an actor to have. This is partly because I’ve always been afraid of dropping plates on customer’s heads.
In the past, I’ve visited remote places – North Korea, Ethiopia, Easter Island – partly as a way to visit remote states of mind: remote parts of myself that I wouldn’t ordinarily explore.
There were a few youthful fishing trips, but I never enjoyed the experiences, partly because I didn’t like hurting the bait.
Being steeped in the process of learning and exploring keeps me from becoming too nervous. Partly it’s about not getting bored.
We think the way we do partly because Socrates thought the way he did. His basic idea – that the unexamined life is not worth living – is what it means to live in the modern world, to develop ideas and ask questions.
I learned a lot at Chelsea partly down to the players I played alongside.
Initially, I know that I handled it worse than she did and I think partly because I’ve always been… every bit of adversity I’ve faced up until the last year and a half is adversity I brought upon myself – or the opposing teams have given me.
I don’t care much for equations myself. This is partly because it is difficult for me to write them down, but mainly because I don’t have an intuitive feeling for equations.
