While I was doing these plays in the beginning, I wasn’t getting paid. I thought of it more as a hobby. Then I realized how seriously a lot of these people took what they were doing.
A lot of technologies in the world were unusual in the beginning, and became standard. That’s the beauty of bottom-up entrepreneurship and innovations.
The world that I would want to get into would be acting. In the beginning, I would do stuff as myself if I had the opportunity to host events – host, like, a talk show. Something like that, I think, would be super amazing.
I was required to jump from a parachute into a lake and for this I was dangled in the air 100 feet above the ground with the help of a harness. It was scary in the beginning as I had never attempted such a thing before.
In the beginning MTV was totally cool. Later on, there was more specific wording as to what I was allowed to do in public and the press.
When I started making movies, I was pretty young, and at the time I felt like there needed to be more confrontation in cinema – or I needed to make something more disruptive – so in the beginning, those movies were me wanting to play with the rules.
When you’re rehearsing, you get really inspired in the beginning, but then it becomes repetitious and you lose the magic. How do you get the magic again? The magic happens when you’re not pushing it.
In the beginning, I tried to be a more cosmopolitan writer, but I realized that I was a country boy, and I had to deal with things I knew about and where I came from.
In the beginning, all of us got ‘women type’ stories. Like covering the first lady instead of the president.
It’s true in the beginning I started playing villains, and I think that’s pretty clear, because if you don’t conventionally look a certain way and you’ve got a certain kind of presence when you’re young, then what’s available to you is character roles, and the best character roles when you’re young tend to be villains.
In the beginning, people watched me to hate on me. They thought Miranda was a real person. People just couldn’t understand why this strange girl was so confident. And then slowly, I started getting fans.
We are so grateful we are given the chance and the freedom to do what we want, what we want to create, what’s on our mind, and that’s honestly what we asked for in the beginning of our career.
I never want to cut music ever again that I’m just kind of into, because we definitely didn’t do that in the beginning.
I was young and playing against big players and big clubs. In the beginning, I was thinking they were better than me, and maybe I was a bit scared, also.
In the beginning, I would find a character I understood. That was my focus. Not now – but you basically get offered the exact same thing you just did. Which I find hilarious. I did ‘The Vow,’ and then I had every love story you can imagine thrown at me. And now I’m getting offers for comedies.
In the beginning, I was searching for myself in my music. My music was for me. I didn’t have the mental room to be conscious of the listener; I wrote to save myself.
Heartless retouching should not be the chosen tool to represent women in the beginning of this century.
In the beginning, people think vulnerability will make you weak, but it does the opposite. It shows you’re strong enough to care.
I had an idea in the beginning to do a book about some of the events that I had covered, just various stories that I’ve covered. Reporters spend a lot of time telling each other tales about how they covered stories, and that’s what this book started out to be.
Creation stories, so central in the religions of the Middle East, play a surprisingly marginal part in Greek myth. The Greeks had nothing to set alongside the resounding ‘In the beginning’ in the book of Genesis, where one eternal God creates the universe out of nothing.
The shock of any trauma, I think changes your life. It’s more acute in the beginning and after a little time you settle back to what you were. However it leaves an indelible mark on your psyche.
I get involved in the beginning, less in the middle, and very much at the end.
I know how to wrap my turban a little better now. In the beginning, it was a little weird.
I didn’t want to be a goalkeeper in the beginning because my dad and uncle used to play in goal and I knew how much you suffer!
I don’t think there’d be a Tina Fey now if I hadn’t tried to look good in the beginning.
In the beginning I thought, and still think, he did great good in giving support and encouragement to this movement. But I did not believe then, and have never believed since, that these ills can be settled by partisan political methods. They are moral and economic questions.
In the beginning, my first clients were Oprah, Whoopi Goldberg, and all different types of women.
Nihilism in American comedy came along way before ‘The Simpsons.’ There was a fairly nihilistic point of view to ‘Saturday Night Live,’ for instance, back in the beginning, and a lot of really dark comedy had a really anti-sentimental take on life.
I always wanted to be a writer. In the beginning, I thought I had to rewrite ‘Gone with the Wind,’ but eventually, I found my way and realized that wasn’t me.
In the beginning, many composers didn’t have confidence in me. It’s not their fault. It only comes after you’ve delivered your first hit.
When you’re a musician, one of the things that comes to you in the beginning that is quite unexpected is the reaction from your fans, and to the way your music plays an important part in their life in figuring things out.
In the beginning, because of the Pavement thing, we were able to sell a certain amount of records. We were able to sell not such a great amount of records, but enough to live on. So there was no incentive to do what didn’t come naturally.
The idea of being published was such an abstract thing in the beginning. It wasn’t even an option in my mind.
For me, the best thing you can do as a man in loving someone is to do your best, go on that walk, and at the end of that walk be as much of a gentleman as you were in the beginning.
If you look at any successful skit comedy show, ever, there is that format of introducing you to the player in the beginning, and then going on to see those sketches.
You won’t really get a lot of the mainstream, lovey-dovey side because that wasn’t a part of my life in the beginning.
I keep my beauty regimen as natural as possible. I wash my face four times a day. In the beginning of the day, I use an exfoliating cleanser made of besan, turmeric and sandalwood. I drink lots of water and avoid oily food. I use only The Body Shop products on my face, as they use the least amount of chemicals.
Raising a child is a little like Picasso’s work; in the beginning he did very conventional representational things. Cubism came after he had the rules down pat.
Of course, in the beginning it’s always difficult. It’s a new country, new teammates, so you need to find the relationship with all the players. Obviously it takes time.
In the beginning, I was so inspired by the music. I had the option to make something modern with classic undertones, but I wanted to make something that was exactly like that old sound.
In the beginning was the Word. Man acts it out. He is the act, not the actor.
In the beginning of my career, I read an article about the reason that men always look five years younger than women is because they shave.
In the beginning, I wanted to be successful. I wanted to make and have hit records.
In the beginning, I was a stay-at-home dad. So I could actually focus on being a rapper. I could write. I could come up with ideas.
I’m not sure about the selling part, but I’ve always found that the things I’ve worn on tour have moved over to what people wear every day. Sometimes the things I wore in the beginning before I had money were things I put together.
My daughter, Asia, has been in many of my movies. I love working with her. In the beginning, I was not supportive of her being an actress, but now I think she is fantastic.
I wanted to be on stage. That was kind of my plan as an actress in the beginning.
I liked wearing the ’50s wardrobe. It was hard in the beginning. The first shows I wore regular young girl dresses. Then a little later I got to wear the poodle skirts and such.
The chemistry of love is something which is extremely extremely unbelievable. This is something we have planned for more than two years, so I hope that we are going to start in the beginning of next year.
All the stories in ‘The UnAmericans’ required interviews, travel, hours and hours in the archives. All of that stuff is so important in the beginning, but I reach a point where I have to shuck it away.
My manager and fellow YouTuber, Mike Lamond, encouraged me to start a YouTube channel as a way to practice speaking, entertaining, and being more comfortable in front of a camera. In the beginning, I used an $80 dollar flip-camera and edited every episode myself.
If someone is going to permit me to make a publication that is politically and culturally progressive and not tell me to put their favorite movie stars on the cover, if I get to do what I want in an honest way – as I did in the beginning at ‘Colors’ – then I’m going to do it.
I never like photos of myself in the beginning. I live with them for three months, put them in a drawer, take them out and look again. I hate the way I look, but of course it’s really not that bad.
