I was 18 when I was presented with the Arjuna Award. To say it feels really good would be an understatement. But I don’t know how else to convey the feeling. I am grateful for having received this prestigious award at such a young age.
If something is presented as a fact, it has to be correct.
Whatever your supposed politics are – left, right – if you put it in a human connection, most people will rise to the occasion and feel the human pain in a way that they might not if it was presented in a more conceptual way.

I haven’t been in the Louvre for twenty years. It doesn’t interest me because I have these doubts about the value of the judgments which decided that all these pictures should be presented to the Louvre instead of others which weren’t even considered.
I had the opportunity to go up to New York and be on the ‘Inside Amy Schumer’ show with Michael Strahan and Vernon Davis and those guys. That was an opportunity that presented itself, and it was something different and fun. I had a great time. Those guys are really good dudes, and she’s obviously incredibly talented.
When I was 18, 19, I was presented as the ‘aw shucks’ Nebraska kid who’s coming up with a big serve, and then I flipped out a couple of times, and then I was ueber-brat, when I feel like there’s parts of both, but I don’t think I am either one, if that makes sense.
When the opportunity presented itself, I had never been bar mitzvahed. I wasn’t going to pass it up.

Although we are being presented in Carnegie Hall, we have to furnish a budget for our guest stars, and for the music writing – which is a huge budget in any orchestra that plays popular music.

I especially enjoyed some of the old hairstyles, with my hair down to my shoulders and a beard. And Henley’s nickname used to be ‘Furry Basketball’ because he had that fro. It was fun to just look at what was going on in that era and how we presented ourselves on stage.

Not since the days of George W. Bush’s ‘Clear Skies’ and ‘Healthy Forests’ initiatives has America been presented with a project as cravenly corporate and backward-looking as the Keystone XL pipeline.

I suspect that we get used to particular sorts of stories being presented in particular sorts of ways, and we’re so used to interpreting them and understanding what it is they’re doing that we think of those forms and styles as faithful, complete depictions of reality.
Life in ‘Blue Peter’s’ world is always presented as happy, positive and fun. It’s an adventure that you have to make the kids believe they want to join in. There are no marks for being a scaredy-cat.
The point of view is the biggest problem with games, because what we play must be clearly presented in the best way for me to have an immersive game experience.
The only part of ‘A Ghost Story’ that was reactionary was a temporal one. I had spent so much time making ‘Pete’s Dragon’ that I was really impatient and excited to make something new.

That’s why we created Flipboard as a social magazine meant for an iPad, meant for a large touch-screen device. That idea of content presented beautifully, oriented around communities and special topics of interest, is really powerful.
God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us.
My friend’s granddad died of prostate cancer and it had a profound effect on me. So when I was presented with the opportunity to speak out, I had to take it. This is a life threatening issue for men; it happens every day. The more you know, the better your chances are of dealing with it if the worst were to happen.
Writers are naturally obsessed with books, the tangible artifacts of their labor. Even beyond the text, I love the physicality of books, the possibilities presented by their substance and form.
