You can make or break an outfit by not knowing your body type – certain things work on certain people. Make sure you’re dressing for your leg-length, hip/chest size, etc.
You can be funny and say what you mean; these ideas are not mutually exclusive. Some of the best jokes came from people who meant it. See: Pryor, Bruce, Carlin, etc.
In my childhood, I was very fond of western music and dance forms like Hip Hop, Salsa, Tango, etc.
Aside from the occasional genocide, oppression, evil and torture, etc., it is inarguable that public policy could be implemented more rapidly in an autocracy.
If you don’t have a Facebook, like, you’re nobody. There’s all of these sort of requirements now, and if you don’t have all of these things – Facebook, Twitter, etc. – you’re made fun of. And Twitter for celebrities… everything is just getting so personal. Pictures of yourself, of what you’re eating for breakfast.
I am still not at all in favour of offering any defence. Even if the court had accepted that petition submitted by some of my co-accused regarding defence, etc., I would not have defended myself.
Anyone can sit down and write two pages of a novel, then forget about it, and a week later write five pages of a screenplay, then forget about it, and a week later start another novel… etc, etc.
Fitness is also about being well-rested, eating well, etc.
Now, learning how to make a movie is something you can figure out in about an afternoon. The physics of it, the marks, the lights, etc. What’s hard to do is to suspend your own feelings of self consciousness. The natural actors can do that; they can become part of a characterization and learn how to maintain it.
If you can build a Facebook page and channel the audience to your website, you can generate revenue via PPC advertisement networks like Google Adwords, Taboola, Yahoo! Bing Network, AdRoll, 7Search, etc.
I have been vocal about various social causes in India and has actively taken up matters of gender equality, cruelty against animals, discrimination towards COVID-19 warriors, etc to the Parliament.
I thought I was benefiting the Indians as well as the government, by taking them all over the United States, and giving them a correct idea of the customs, life, etc., of the pale faces, so that when they returned to their people they could make known all they had seen.
Ninety percent of my mentors have been male, most of them with very little in common with me on a personal level – from life experience, work experience, backgrounds, etc.
With acting I am being led by the script, other actors, the director, etc. But with songwriting I feel it is much more self reliant and allows me to be in the creative experience without being as dependent on others.
Personally, I don’t believe in International Women’s Day. After all, there’s no International Men’s Day that we celebrate. These are just titles like Happy Day, Teacher’s Day etc. I don’t understand them.
My view is that at a younger age your optimism is more and you have more imagination etc. You have less bias.
I started writing after the death of my grandfather – memories, poems, etc. It was very personal; for years I did not share my writing with anyone.
When you have 20 nominations – 20 names on the nomination list of best actor, supporting actor and actress, etc., and there’s absolutely no representation of color whatsoever, I think that’s a subset of perhaps a bigger problem.
Almost every single commercial on television for shampoo, sports shoes, drinks, food, clothes, perfume, cars, etc., is a short fairy tale, for they are given magical qualities.
What person here illegally (and in his right mind), will go to the government, announce being here illegally (e.g. plead guilty), provide all sorts of information as to where that person lives etc. to get a work permit only to be a target for deportation in two years?
Frankly I’ve never really subscribed to these adjectives tagging me as an ‘icon’, ‘superstar’, etc. I’ve always thought of myself as an actor doing his job to the best of his ability.
Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better.
The means that make one qualified for enquiry are meditation, yoga, etc. One should gain proficiency in these through graded practice and thus secure a stream of mental modes that is natural and helpful.
I think one of the things that language poets are very involved with is getting away from conventional ideas of beauty, because those ideas contain a certain attitude toward women, certain attitudes toward sex, certain attitudes toward race, etc.
I wasn’t a friendly child. I was reserved and mostly kept to myself. My family tells me they’ve noticed a sea change in me after I’ve grown up. But I guess that’s natural. Your surroundings, friends, college, etc. do make a lot of difference to your personality.
Not just cricket, we are doing clothing for football, hockey etc. It’s basic stuff, but good designing is what I am looking to do.
The casualties in the Civil War amount to more than all other wars – all other American wars combined. More people died in that war than World War II, World War I, Vietnam, etc. And that was a war for white supremacy. It was a war to erect a state in which the basis of it was the enslavement of black people.
When I watch my sons play, I think, God, acting’s the most natural thing in the world. They take the ‘Star Wars’ characters and say, ‘Let’s pretend that I’m Hans and you’re Luke and that we’re on this planet,’ etc.
Take an exhibit, in the days when we saw the Pop art – Andy Warhol and all that – tomato soup cans, etc., and coming home, you saw everything like A. Warhol.
Everyone recognizes that’s a joke because obviously the number and shape of the pieces doesn’t affect the size of the pizza. And similarly, the stocks, bonds, warrants, etc., issued don’t affect the aggregate value of the firm.
In organic chemistry, we have learnt to derive from compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, i.e. from the hydrocarbons, all other types of combinations, such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, etc.
An artist’s responsibility is a lot. I can’t deny and escape from the responsibility. You have to be very guarded about your personal behaviour, future plans, etc.
I have done a lot of interviews over the years, so you think I would know how to handle difficult questions, etc. But the truth is, I don’t.
In my early writing, all of my characters were exactly the same person. They all spoke the same, made the same types of jokes, reacted the same, etc. I think they were all just me in disguise.
I wish I were one of those terribly clever people who, when they write their autobiographies, always say, when I was fifteen months old I distinctly remember my Aunt Fanny saying to me, etc.
Cardio-based exercise involves moving at a moderate intensity, using many muscle groups at once. Think: walking, jogging, cycling, etc.
Over a period of time, if you have a successful show, then you have a devoted audience. I feel you owe something to them. That goes for everybody – writers, camera operators, actors, studio executives, etc. Sadly, I’ve realized it’s a responsibility that very few people live up to.
Our family get-togethers are about the stories such as my uncle who walked across the Indo-Burma border, or a woman who gave birth in a ship carrying refugees etc.
My understanding of films was just as much as any young girl who watches Bollywood films. I had no idea about the whole process of filmmaking, about dialogue writing, scripts, screenplay etc. I had probably gone to two or three film shoots in my childhood.
My work is based upon contemporary Greek poetry – poetry which is concerned with the problems of today’s civilization and, of course, with simple personal feelings of love, nostalgia, etc.
I believe that every single person attached to a film is a character and nothing more. I don’t categorize them as hero, heroine, etc.
I think there is something about the Internet which gives people almost an opportunity to role play and to create a facade, an image. I see that as quite a dangerous development because I think what we call social networking, Twitter, Facebook, etc., is actually quite antisocial.
Some people say it might be good for your career to die and then come back again. I have died many ways, car crashes, motorcycle crashes, etc. But, I am still alive.
My father used to celebrate all festivals like Eid, Diwali, Holi, Christmas, etc. with great gusto.
Platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. have been a great escape for a lot of people who don’t watch television and want to ditch the heavy priced tickets and snacks at the movie theaters. And the number is only growing.
To me, a hockey player has to be every sport rolled into one: ice skater, baseball player, football player, etc. It’s just incredible to watch!
I like to invest in companies where I can really add value from my experience, network, etc., so checking out my portfolio of other investments, and my background, will generally give some guidance there.
There were plenty of reasons to suspect Obamacare might have been a colossal failure – although none of them had to do with death panels, huge lines for treatment, a government takeover of health care, etc.
