If you have one guy taking all of the shots, you’re obviously not playing very fast, because you have to slow it down and wait for him to get to his spot in the offense. But when you just want the best shot possible, a lot of different people are going to get the ball.
I’m just gonna keep growing as an artist, and I’m excited to work with different people and learn from all these other talented, creative people that I’ve been around. It’s so inspiring to be around other people who have ideas you haven’t thought of, and all of a sudden you’re like, ‘Wow! That’s so amazing!’
I grew up in the Midwest, and I was a short, fat, little Jewish kid… but it was just different. People didn’t understand, so I had to deal with it. One day, I physically dealt with it, and it never happened again. I’m not saying that’s the way to do it, but you have to stand up for yourself, period, end of story.
I feel like within each of us is a million different people that we could reveal and that we can be sometimes… And for me, the process of acting isn’t so much about finding the person outside of myself and mimicking them but, rather, releasing parts of myself and adding them to the character.
I’m like two different people. The way I sing comes from the music I listened to when I was younger, from black American R&B singers. My speaking voice is something else. It’s what my mum and dad taught me.
We hope that eventually there would be an occasion which I can personally prove that game music can in fact impress many different people and move them.
When you surround yourself with white people, you continue to hire white people, and when you make an effort to hire people of color, that does bring in different stories and different people.
Once, I played a doctor who had a near-death experience, so I researched it, and it’s impressive what people are saying about what happened to those who’ve been through it: it changed their lives completely, made them different people after that. I find that immensely comforting.
We’ve been ahead for so long in the U.K., we’re so multicultural, and that’s the beauty. That’s why grime was formed, from this mix, this understanding of different people.
It’s such an interesting experience seeing how different people react to music and the generosity of some and the craziness of others – people who go see bands in different countries, know all the words to the songs, and get tattoos. It’s so unexpected.
It went from ‘I was a nobody on the street, just another person.’ It turned into something completely different. People were coming up to me, they knew who I was us, requesting pictures.
I think whatever dress you wear, people will criticise you. Different people have different opinions.
Some people suggest that the problem is the separation of powers. If you had a parliamentary system, the struggle for power would not result in such complex peace treaties that empower so many different people to pursue so many contradictory aims.
I love to sing with different people.
I’m a people lover. I love interacting with different people as I meet them, and I think people are one of God’s greatest creations, I really do. They’re interesting and intriguing.
You’re gonna meet tons of different people throughout your life, and it’s totally worth it to stick your neck out a little bit if you like someone. Even when you get shot down, it seems really devastating, but it’s not in the long run.
Some people might say I’m two different people, but I think it’s more like seven or eight.
I don’t think that the Pulitzer should be given the way it is. I think the competition should be anonymous. I think completely different people would win it if the names were taken off because a lot of it is done on relationships and names.
I feel responsible, as many other people’s lives hang on the success of a drama in which I appear. But in essence, I think having various experiences and dialogues with different people helps me improve my acting more than taking lessons.
Music means different things to different people and sometimes even different things to the same person at different moments of his life.
Science is based on the possibility of objectivity, on the possibility of different people checking out for themselves the observations made by others. Without that possibility, there is no empirical principle capable of deciding between different arguments and theories.
Going to New York to do whatever – show business – it just seemed fun. It seemed fun to go to the big city and meet all kinds of different people and maybe be famous. It was just exciting. So I wasn’t scared.
If you look back at the great classics and the epics and myths, they were for everyone. Different people got different things from them, but everyone was invited to participate.
It’s not a secret that I’m, like, 12 different people rolled into one. Like a lot of people are.
I never got to go to prom or homecoming or a lot of the typical teenage stuff. But, if you think about it, I’ve gotten to go and meet different people and travel all over the world.
I have five kids, and people can say ‘nature versus nurture,’ but it is nature! Nurture has so little to do with it. I have five kids, and there are five totally different people in my house.
Me and Janet really are two different people.
If two very different people pool their DNA, they’ll create more genetic variety, and their young will come to the job of parenting with a wider array of skills.
I’ve trained different places with different people my whole career. I’m going to continue to do so. It’s always been a journey.
Anonymous is like an amoeba: it’s got too many different operations run by truly different people which might not share a single person with another operation, but they use the same branding – they are part of the Anonymous brand, just like al-Qaida.
My favorite thing about being an actor is that I get to be so many different people in one lifetime. You sort of get to be all of these different characters.
I grew up in the suburbs outside of Newcastle, and there were blank walls, and there was a lot of space to imagine – the fields and the motorways – so I used to sit and talk to myself as different people.
People tell me they use my song ‘Coming Home’ at their weddings. My audience seems to range from young to old, and it’s cool when you really get to connect with all different people.
Different people have different styles, but there is an opportunity as a director to be a writer in every moment, with every visual cue and every piece of production design. Everything is a decision, and everything can be obsessed over.
‘Avatar’ means so many things to so many different people. When I think of the creation of it, I think of me and Mike at the computer in a little apartment in Burbank.
I can hit baritone notes, and I can sing in the soprano range if I wanted to. I did this thing a long time ago where I did a duet with myself. I sound like two different people.
I’m most interested in working and learning from different people and telling good stories.
I try and be just completely me on stage. I try and put that across, and people seem to get that personality that I have, so I do try not to become two different people and two different faces.
For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?
I’ve always enjoyed traveling and having experience with different cultures and different people. But it’s also a wonderful thing to be able to benefit and enable research, not only in our country but around the world.
It’s similar to basketball: when you go to different gyms and win or lose, you learn something new. So when kids get out of the classroom, go to a new environment and meet different people, it opens their eyes to new things, and they have fun learning.
For the first three years, when I was writing, I was doing sessions with a whole bunch of different people all the time every day until I met Lindy Robbins, who kind of mentored me. And then, once you find that, all the pieces come together.
One of the things I love about my job is that it offers me an opportunity to step into different people and different spaces and different kinds of work in every new thing that I do. I’m just looking forward to the surprises I’m going to have.
Art should never be limited – the beauty of art is that it gives us the freedom to go places where we wouldn’t go to in our normal lives. Inside, I’m just so many different people. I go from the pretty girl on the red carpet to the singer at Ozzfest, spitting in the crowd. That’s Jada.
I’d say that my musical influences are anywhere from pop-rock electronica, new age and classical. But I think that specifically, bands – I love Jem, I love Sigur Ross, I love David Gray, I love Elliot Smith… a lot of different people. But I don’t find lyrical inspiration from anybody.
Sports has given me the opportunity to travel around the world and see new countries and meet so many different people. I’ve gained new perspectives.
I love getting to have different food and getting to be around different people and different cultures and different ways people look at life. It’s really kind of helped me open up my mind and see the world from different perspectives.
