I think there’s a tendency for actors like myself, and I don’t mean to generalize myself, but I’ve played ‘men’s men,’ if you will, characters that are simmering rage and calculated. There’s a trend not to play anything that is opposed to that.
I buck the trend: I eat avocados on a Sunday morning and I’m a homeowner.
I’m trying to tell you that there’s a new wave on the continent. A new wave of openness and democratization in which, since 2000, more than two-thirds of African countries have had multi-party democratic elections. Not all of them have been perfect, or will be, but the trend is very clear.
A security cam is one small part of a much larger universe of cams. The much larger effect, socially, politically and economically, is going to come from a much larger trend.

Women, if left to their own devices, are going to tend and trend Democratic. That is absolutely the case.
I don’t like to dictate the style to the customer, I believe people give something their own trend.
I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour. There is also a tribal tattoo and a Chinese symbol of faith. I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend.
We don’t have any intention of beginning a trend of re-creating actors who are gone.
Finally, I would like to remind record companies that they have a cultural responsibility to give the buying public great music. Milking a trend to death is not contributing to culture and is ultimately not profitable.
Because if Asian American content is seen as a trend, the way that like leggings are in, then that’s not true representation or inclusion. The mainstream doesn’t have to worry about that.
The single most important top-level trend is the shift to mobile.
I’m in favour of hipster androgyny: Any trend that permits men to rebel against strict gender rules of appearance is going to make the world a more expressive and sensitive place for all of us.
I think an old style of addressing environmental problems is ebbing, but the rise of the so-called conservative, political movement in this country is not a trend towards the future but a reaction to this very broad shift that we are undergoing.
This trend of reporting process over substance is unfortunate, if omnipresent. Even worse is the media’s inability – or unwillingness – to fact-check Republicans who are angry about the Democrats trying to debate and vote on Iraq policy.
I would like to see more Bollywood films! The more stylized musicals are a new trend in the U.S. We are beginning to make musicals again after a long break, practically since the days of the studio structure, so perhaps we can learn a few things from Bollywood about this fun style of film-making.
The trend in the world right now is – not just in developed countries, but in developing countries including China and India – there is a movement to build more and more nuclear plants.
There’s a lot of movies, and I’ve made some of them that could be categorized this way, but there’s definitely been a trend in animated features of all types to be a little bit cynical, if you will, to have a little bit of ‘knowing’ humor to them, kind of a wink to the audience.
I’m not keen on the Mini Me trend. In my opinion, kids’ clothes should be kids’ clothes.
Beverages have to be created. And they’re created by looking at what trend is in, say, the fashion industry – what color’s hot right now.
I don’t think anything Ronda Rousey does is going to be the norm. I think everything she does is going to set a new trend and blaze a new trail.
The pigeon dance came from a group from Rio de Janeiro who had a song in around 2012. A trend was started when I did the dance at home. Everyone started copying me.
Everybody influences everybody else, in my opinion. There are different trends in music all the time. No matter who starts them, if it’s a true trend in the music, it ends up influencing other people as well.
After 1999, I thought that I needed a break. As a senior composer, I didn’t like the trend of three music directors working on a single film. But after a few quiet years, I was back for good.
There’s an interesting trend that occurs in times of mounting pressure and high uncertainty, which is that it’s a natural human tendency to seek out people that agree with us, that are similar to us because it’s a source of comfort in a world that’s so rapidly changing.
I strongly feel there is nothing like a trend or even ‘new generation movies.’ A movie can be of a new generation only in terms of technology and nothing else.
As I always like to keep in mind about everything: Don’t fight the trend.
Globalization was a deep trend pushed by technology and right ideas, as much as anything else.
There are so many new young poets, novelists, and playwrights who are much less politically committed than the former generations. The trend is to be totally concentrated on the literary aesthetic and to consider politics to be something dirty that shouldn’t be mixed with an artistic or a literary vocation.
Believe me, I love commerce as much as the rest of the readers of ‘Businessweek.’ But in art, you have to be true to yourself and your musical vision. People have known me well for a long time, so if I was chasing a trend and doing something that wasn’t authentic to who I am, they would know it in just a few seconds.
My big ‘don’t’ would be wearing something just because someone told you it looks cool. I think a lot of people fall victim to that – of doing something that’s a trend, but then you can tell if they don’t own it or don’t like it.
Corporate efficiency has led to a nasty trend of filtering resumes for keywords. This might save time, but it ensures that many of the best candidates will never make it to the interview.

There’s so many people that follow the trend, and then it gets to a point where it gets a little stale. So, in music; I mean, whoever’s the new trendsetter, that’s who people follow.
Actually, it’s difficult to predict which films would be accepted by the audience. The trend changes time to time.
Come year-end, there will be more capital deployed in newspace in 2016 than 2015. I see that trend continuing for the foreseeable future.
It’s a trend to insult Wale, like that makes you cool on the Internet, and a part of it is because I respond.

Don’t follow a trend. Follow your heart.
I don’t believe in a composer who is only able to compose, who can’t play or conduct, can only use a computer. If that trend continues there will be no more symphonies, no more oratorios.
My advice to new artists is to not follow a trend, but to start one. By that, I mean to not be tempted to do what business people might suggest to you, to jump on the bandwagon, but to be strong.
I think, as an artist, part of your job is being aware of what’s going on around you and not selling out and not following the trend, which I’m totally against.
Monetary conditions exert an enormous influence on stock prices. Indeed, the monetary climate – primarily the trend in interest rates and Federal Reserve policy – is the dominant factor in determining the stock market’s major direction.
Social media has exacerbated a trend whereby people speak with complete authority on every subject, regardless of how informed they are.
There used to be this feeling under Eisenhower and Kennedy and Roosevelt and Truman that government was a solution. Trust in the presidency fell precipitously under Johnson – real lows. And it’s never come back. It’s a trend that, if you’re liberal, is really discouraging.
The increase in inequality in income is a longtime trend, but the pressure on middle- and low-income workers is going up rapidly. Especially if they live in an area where there are high housing and gas prices, like California.
Trends die. That’s the natural thing about a trend. It’s natural for people to be followers and be sheep and go with a trend.
When there are hard times, the trend is to question yourself and to dig deep but when things go well you shouldn’t relax and think things come easy or you need to put in less effort.
I come from the streaming world, so the changing trend of consuming music that way is positive for me.
The lockdown has taught people how to make do with what they have and how to consume responsibly. For the sake of our environment and our very own holistic wellness, I hope this wellness trend of sustainability continues to grow and spread.
Producers want to put their music behind revivals but I don’t think that’s a good trend for the theater at all.
I’m not a trend person. I don’t want to look to my right and see somebody in the same thing.
With anything new, if it’s weird or cool, it will catch people’s attention. But slowly, that new thing, if it catches on, it becomes a trend itself.
