One thing I always make – and I’m sure this is partly to do with memory and yearning and because I’ve made it ever since my children were born – I make gingerbread every year. And it’s partly just the perfume of the spices in the house, makes it smell like winter to me.
I’m drawn to a story partly based on the fact that it’s something I might not be as familiar with.
I wore makeup when I was at school, and I wore makeup when glam started. I started wearing it again when punk started. I’ve always been drawn to wearing it. It’s partly ritualistic, partly theatrical and partly just because I think I look better with it on.
Social Security may be the most beloved of all the government’s programs, partly because it requires so little thinking. You pay taxes while you work, then you and your spouse collect until you die.
The uptake of people getting involved in cycling is partly down to the big success the team has had in the Tour de France, the Olympics and the World Championships.
It was fantastic to work in Cornwall partly because my family live there so I was able to do lots of visiting and eat lots of cake. They live all over Cornwall and all over Devon.
Our assimilation efforts are based on building long-term relationships and value with our customers, and the success of these efforts is measured partly by our ability to stimulate customers to make a second purchase within 90 days.
Stopping TB requires a government program that functions every day of the year, and that’s hard in certain parts of the world. And partly it’s because of who tuberculosis affects: It tends to affect the poor and disenfranchised most.
To believe that your husband, wife, parents, kids, boss, job, bank account, or body is even partly responsible for your emotions, to think that there are bullets ‘out there’ that you have to contend with, that there are stressful life events to overcome, is to miss something vital.
My dad always made a big thing about having well-cut suits. It’s partly a cultural thing, but for him, looking sharp and presenting yourself well was very, very important.
There’s a few movies I wanted to do, and I didn’t get to do them partly because they wanted me to be part of the horse and pony show, getting the money, and I’m just not doing that. There’s a few movies that people wanted me to do, but they were too safe.
I think we’re miserable partly because we have only one god, and that’s economics.
I’m on a mission partly to make a difference in the world for the better, starting with the kids. They are the future.
Inequality is partly a marker of success.
The Ego is partly free. partly determined, and reaches fuller freedom by approaching the Individual who is most free: God.
Some people say that in stressful situations I can seem unflappable, and I think that’s partly because I’m always kind of internally flapped.
I survived only a year in Berkeley, partly because I declined to sign the anticommunist loyalty oath.
I went through a period when I felt my film characters were having more fun than I was. It might partly explain why I ended up tattooed or doing certain extreme things in my life.
Terrorism is partly linked to people who have no jobs in Pakistan.
My photography changed from being more documentary-like to arranging things more, and that came into being partly because I started doing music videos, and I incorporated some things from the music videos into my photography again, by arranging things more.
I struggle quite a lot in rehearsals, partly because I’m shy, partly because I still don’t really understand the work that actors and directors do. I love the magic at the end, but the getting there – the wrong turns that are necessary to make something work – I find slightly beguiling and worrying.
I think there is a very strong sense of Irish identity, and I think partly that’s to do with the fact that we have evolved differently from Britain and other countries in Europe.
Although I am a young leader, I actually came to it strangely quite late. I have a different perspective, partly because of my family, partly because of what I did for ten years: negotiating trade deals, working out in Central Asia doing assistance projects.
I never had the slightest desire to have cosmetic surgery – partly because I don’t want to look like an alien and partly because it’s nice to age in a way. Also, I think that if your soul is beautiful, then the rest of you stays beautiful.
As long as I retain my feeling and my passion for Nature, I can partly soften or subdue my other passions and resist or endure those of others.
Usually when there are a lot of layoffs, like in 2008 and 2009, business creation tends to spike. But that didn’t happen right away, partly because people trying to start a business couldn’t get credit.
Putting is like wisdom – partly a natural gift and partly the accumulation of experience.
It could be partly my taste. It’s just my belief that there are female characters that will benefit from not being vulnerable.
People think rationally that the world really is more risky. Imagine in 2008 that investors thought there was a 10% chance we’d have a depression. That would partly justify the drop in prices.
K to 12 is partly about babysitting the kids so the parents can do other things.
I come from a school of people, folk singers, and the tradition there is troubadours, and you’re carrying a message. Now admittedly, our job is partly just to make you boogie, just make you want to dance. Part of our job is to take you on a little voyage, tell you a story.
Toward the middle and end of the Fifties, West European countries became somewhat more important as providers of aid to underdeveloped countries. It was partly due to the prodding of the United States that these countries, as they regained economic viability, should shoulder their share of the aid burden.
That is partly why women marry – to keep up the fiction of being in the hub of things.
Literature is reflecting what is happening in life. More and more women are having relationships with younger men. It’s partly that women are not losing their figures now.
I guess I probably make violent films partly because I can’t express my anger in my real life very well.
Betting that markets will be ‘volatile’ is like betting the weather will be partly cloudy. It’s a smart-sounding strategy that doesn’t mean much.
The Seekers have done most things that you’d want to do and when we broke up in the ’60s it was partly because we sort of felt we’d done all the things that you could do. There was nothing new.
The country has become much more conservative, partly because it’s been taken over by the religious right.
Partly what I’m writing about is the way taboos get toppled.
I’m an investor in a number of biotech companies, partly because of my incredible enthusiasm for the great innovations they will bring.
I have a lot of security – I lost my mother to the Taliban because of a lack of security – and that explains partly why I can be so vocal.
You know, being an entertainer is partly being on the road, and a lot of your songs come from the road.
I hadn’t ever worked with an ‘editor’ until I was 26 – although that could be partly chalked up to the MFA vs. NYC thing, where I came up through institutions that encouraged writers to write privately for a long, long time and not sully themselves with concerns about audience or the business side of writing.
Al Qaeda is on the run, partly because the United States is in Afghanistan, pushing on al Qaeda, and working internationally to cut off the flow of funds to al Qaeda. They are having a difficult time. They failed in this endeavor.
I partly know why I have not led a perfect life like other believers. But I avow to my Lord, and I do not lie, that from the time when I first knew him, the love of God and the fear of him has grown in me from my youth so that I have, by the power of God, always till now kept the faith.
These women whose antics we smirk at good-naturedly in the pap-traps put themselves out there at least partly on their beauty; they are in showbiz, and showing what they’ve got is part of their business as much as it is for male show-ponies from the Chippendales to George Clooney.
I have a very long relationship with America. My mother grew up there and I felt to some extent that I partly belong there. I was schooled there briefly for about a year.
The first year at Juilliard is, I think, the best. And partly why I left – I only went one year. Partly why I felt okay leaving is that the most important elements, I believe, happen in the first year. What they do is they tear down all your conceptions of acting, and they take away all your tricks that you’ve learned.
I started with the fantasy film, ‘Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne.’ It was a film to be seen to be believed. It was made in 1968. It was partly colored and was made with huge sets, created in a Kolkata studio.
My public caricature – that of a self-confident alpha male – is only partly accurate.
America’s addiction to violence is partly evident in the heroes it chooses to glorify.
I’m definitely not above wanting to be liked. Because, I mean, that feels less… lonely? But to be honest, because it was never my dream, I live quite a pressure-less existence, y’know. And of course, that’s not true, but it’s partly true.
