‘Billionaire’ is basically about, you know, like ‘Brewster’s Millions.’ It’s me talking about what would happen if I would somehow manage to become a billionaire. What would I do with the money? Don’t get it wrong, I’m far from a billionaire. I think I just made it out the ‘thousandaire’ category.
There’s a lot of smart women doing dumb things with their health, and I fell into that category as well.
I got involved in the underground world known as ballroom culture, and I used to walk a category called ‘face,’ and it was a very heavily Latino culture – it’s black and Latino – and they used to call me ‘cara,’ which means face in Spanish, so I started putting ‘cara’ on everything: hats, jackets.
If being an attractive woman got you attention for directing, then the entire ‘best director’ category would be comprised of models. To me, that is just the most ludicrous connection that you could make.
I don’t think I represent some new category. I think I do represent kind of a freethinker.
A lot of times when I was younger, whether it was in go-karting, or when I first started out in a new category, I would sit behind someone throughout a race. I didn’t have the confidence in that environment to take some risks.
I’m at the age where I just want to experiment. You know, play a crime investigator one week, a pregnant girl one week, an angel of darkness another week. I don’t want to define myself by any category, or age, or role.
You never see Coke and Pepsi doing attacks to each other. It would depress the product category of soft drinks.
In music, if somebody makes a good song, you want to be in that category and make the good songs too. It may not even be a competition thing, it’s just a thing to keep your skills up type of thing.
New voices in an old art – and women poets have been that for much more than a century – do not diminish the art through the category. They enrich it. They renew it with common quandaries of craft and innovation. The category simply allows the quandaries to be seen more clearly.
When aspiring writers ask me about how they should target their writing, I tell them to pay no attention to that kind of thing. It will restrict you. You will end up falling into stereotypes in an effort to tailor your work toward a perceived genre category.
I’ve said no to a lot of things because they didn’t make me a leading man. They put me in a category I wasn’t interested in.
Ask a celebrity what social cause he or she wants to take up, and many would say utopic things. For me, however, the decision is very clear… I want to do something for children, a category of people I am genuinely fond of.
War drags human beings from their tasks of building and improving, and pushes them en masse into the category of destroyers and killers.
And for it to make the statement the way that it did, for ‘Controlled Chaos’ to debut in the Top 10 of the iTunes rock chart… We debuted behind Queen and Chris Cornell, so it’s not like we were just hidden away in the back of the instrumental metal category.
If we meet an honest and intelligent politician, a dozen, a hundred, we say they aren’t like politicians at all, and our category of politicians stays unchanged; we know what politicians are like.
As a singer, I’ve been criticized for sounding feminine. They say I don’t belong in any category, male or female, pop or jazz. But early on, I saw my suffering as my salvation.
I don’t hate homosexuals. I love them enough to tell them the truth: that God puts them in the category with other sinners.
It seems that ‘rocket scientist’ is a job category that’s here for the long haul, like ‘mortician.’ But all this activity masks an important point: rockets are not a terribly efficient way to lift things into space.
I did suffer a lot since karting, with my size and everything, not really having a clue what to do when I started karting. So I suffered in every category: F4, F3, F2. Not so much F2 but I’ve had to kind of play catch-up quite a bit and in some ways, F1 was a bit nicer with power steering.
I am appreciative of the Bush administration’s commitment to fair trade by looking at the facts in this case and ruling affirmatively for the implementation of quotas in this specific category.
Let’s get one thing straight – there is a big difference between a quitter and someone who gives up. Unfortunately, I have the right to make this claim because I fit into the category of ‘quitter.’
I earned two Emmy nominations for writing, and two of the shows I had written were nominated for best in their category.
I really love the category on the site called Brain Massage.
I think there are only two kinds of heroes: the flamboyant ones and the angry-yet-silent types. Every character on TV falls into either category.
I hate when people try to put me in one category.
Australia has suffered a decade of drought, epic floods, a Category 5 cyclone, and a plague of locusts. But just because Aussies have the biggest carbon footprint in the world, it doesn’t mean they’re stupid.
I am constantly swimming on the margin, neither 100% American, French, nor Lebanese. I am none of those. I am the result of those three. Sometimes it’s an asset: no one can put you in a category. That I do not make typical Lebanese, European or American films does not bother me.
Given the hipness of transsexualism with people like Caitlyn Jenner and Jazz Jennings, there might be a third category, especially among children, and that is fashion.
I would love to do something in the thriller category. Not so much horror, but I would love to do a full-on psychological thriller. That would be really interesting. A period piece would also be fantastic.
The whole Hollywood thing where people want to put me into this ‘quirky-fashionista, daughter of’ category makes me mad because it’s promoting something that I don’t believe in, and it’s not who I am.
That’s why I train with faster guys, lighter guys, my category and with the heavyweight guys. Because I want to be ready for everything.
Puerto Rico, within the span of two weeks, received two Category 4-5 hurricanes. That has never happened anywhere. The devastation has been enormous.
The return in the regional market is huge. But I don’t consider Yo Yo Honey Singh and Guru Randhawa under that category. They get their views from all over the world. They have a global appeal.
When we started, our style of music wasn’t on MTV. It wasn’t cool, and it wasn’t popular. The only bands who were even kind of similar were Blink-182 and Green Day. But we don’t sound like those bands, even if people throw us in that category now.
If I scroll down my Instagram replies, the tenth one down features a racist emoji – which is not unusual. So I follow the protocol, which is to block the user and report the message under the category of ‘hate speech and symbols.’ Then I am told that an emoji with a monkey and a banana is not considered racist.
The category I come closest to is ‘lumberjack hipster.’
In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.
We see new things all the time. We see new retroviruses out there – which is the category that HIV falls into – and we’re very, very concerned because this is the part of the world where HIV jumped from chimpanzees to humans.
The fact that I have a Southern accent and write about a lot of rural things leads people to put me in the country category.
I am convinced that there are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked and those that will be. And even they are converging into one category: companies that have been hacked and will be hacked again.
I think I’m an okay parent, but I’d put myself in the category of a musician-who-happened-to-become-a-father. I’m definitely not a father-who-happened-to-be-a-musician.
When guys change their category, they’ve got problems with that, problems with everything. Not everyone can be ready for that.
Webs are made mostly of spaces. They break easily. They barely exist. They belong to the category of half-things: mist, smoke, shrouds, ghosts, membranes, retinas or rags; and they quickly fill up with un-things: old legs and wings and heads and hollow abdomens and body bags of wasps.
In the category of economic superpowers, more is better than less – the more technology those leaders develop, the more we all benefit.
‘Minari’ was only eligible for the best foreign language film category due to the HFPA rules on language, so the film was submitted to meet these rules; there was no choice involved in the matter.
People like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding – I do not put myself in that category.
When the venture capital industry invests, it’s usually because they sense there is money in them hills. And often it takes a high-profile winner to wake everyone up in the category. SpaceX is that company.
I’m only two years older than Brad Pitt, but I look a lot older, which used to greatly frustrate me. It doesn’t anymore. I don’t have to fit into that category and get trounced by Tom Cruise and Brad.
‘The Whale’ was in the category of so-called serious music, and yet it brings together a wide series of musical styles. It was influenced by people such as The Beatles, the spirit of the times, and I think ‘The Whale’ certainly had a pop element to it.
I was involved in some of the very first meetings that created the maps that showed what would happen if you had a Category 1, 2 or 3 hurricane in New York.
