My friends adore ‘TOWIE’ – the TV documentary series, ‘The Only Way is Essex.’ They like it, I’m afraid, for the most unworthy of reasons: class mockery. They tune in to wonder in a ‘can you believe those people?’ way at the natives of Brentwood and Buckhurst Hill.
Working on ‘Good Luck Charlie’ has been an awesome experience, and it’s so crazy to build a fan base and have all those people tune into the show.
I like to be alone and listen to music. Every match I play, I have a tune in my head over and over. It might only be a few words or a small piece of the tune, but it can drive you mad.
I tend to be a bit of a hermit. A bit monkish. I like to tune out the context.
When I do a film, I try and see how in tune I am with the director.
I never try and tune anything out. I think that’s a mistake. You want to bring all the honest stuff that’s going on inside you into your work. Otherwise, you’re keeping a lot of authenticity out.
I think body-image issues are not just a dancer thing. I think we’re much more in tune and aware because the body is our instrument and art, and we stare at ourselves in a mirror all day, but I feel like it’s something that every woman experiences and every girl experiences.
It’s so hard to pick a ‘single.’ I always want it to be whatever my favorite tune is, but often the record company and the person whose job it is to take it to radio have different ideas.
I went to go see the Rolling Stones in the park, and they were awful: completely out of tune. Jagger wore a frock.
That’s been hard being away from the family, because Washington can be lonely. When you tune out of all the activity, that’s like, you’re alone.
When you’re doing a TV show, it’s not like you just shoot for six weeks and you’re in an editing room with all of your footage. It’s like a guitar or a car, you have to fine tune things. You stop doing what’s not working, you work on what is working and you add things that do work.
I still think what the consumers are looking for is, number one, entertainment. They want to be entertained. It can be a liberal, a libertarian, or a conservative. It can be far-left or far-right. If they are entertained, they are going to tune in.
Harpists spend 90 percent of their lives tuning their harps and 10 percent playing out of tune.

I feel like I was writing as I was learning to talk. Writing was always a go-to form of communication. And I knew I could sing from being in tune with the radio.
I love watching a good, freaky horror movie. I love it. It’s one of my favorite things to do, to go and see at the cinema. Just to tune out and be freaked out.
My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.
I am always fully in tune with the interviewer, who is usually trying to make me look silly. My objective is quite the opposite during an interview: I never use my wit or my intellect to make the interviewer look silly.

There is a risk women’s football becomes the most popular spectator sport that fans tune into every four years but are not interested in parting with their money to watch the same players on their doorstep.
I began making music at the age of four. According to my mother, once I just sat down at the piano and played back a tune by ear. My parents were watching and said to each other, ‘Maybe we should give him music lessons.’
We tune differently, and we use some tricks. There’s just the two of us for much of a concert, so we want a big sound. We do use some guitar effects, distortion and delay. Playing cello with distortion sounds so good.
‘Redbone’ from Childish Gambino – that is my ideal summer tune. It’s already gone and done its thing, but I want it to live on forever.
‘Tax Collector’ was optioned for a series with F/X, but it never happened. I guess they ran into a problem trying to figure out why someone would tune in to watch a show about a guy who works for the IRS.
In other words, I think that if an audience listens to something as an experience of how in tune it is or something of that kind, that the whole point is somehow being missed, and the music has failed.

I’ve always wanted to do a tune with The Prodigy because I’m such a massive fan.
Fake news was manufactured to the tune of millions of dollars in an attempt to discredit my story.
I think music will always be a big part of my life. I can’t go five minutes without singing, sometimes unconsciously. And people stare at me, and I’m wondering why they’re staring, and then I’m realizing that I’m belting out a tune.
Nero may have understood how to tune his cithern, but he disgraced his imperial office both by slackening and by tightening the strings.
Food is entertainment now. People tune into ‘Top Chef,’ and they’re not trying to replicate the recipes. Anthony Bourdain is entertainment. Instagramming your dishes is entertainment.
I am just the band leader, and I just keep everything in tune.
To make a genuine record, it takes more than a cool beat and some auto tune.
I have never felt in tune with the whole rock industry.
I started singing very early. I was six or seven years old, and I was singing along to TV commercials and figuring out, ‘Oh, hey, I can sing in tune. This is really cool.’ But the songwriting thing came much much later, when I was 19 years old.
Since I’m not in WWE, some people think I’m not even in their league. It’s easy for me to tune those people out because they have no idea what they’re talking about.

The gymnastic events are really what I tune into the Summer Olympics for.
If you have a car, you tune it up; you replace the parts. You try to keep it in good shape. This country has tires that are shot, a bunch of engine problems, and rather than saying, ‘Okay, let’s maybe put some new parts in here,’ we just keep putting gas in and driving forward.
It took me a while to warm to the ’20s costumes on ‘Downton.’ I love it when women accentuate their curves, and that era was all about hiding them. The shapes they wore then were in tune with female empowerment. Cutting off their hair and hiding their busts was a way of saying, ‘We’re equal to men!’
Our approach to economic development must be modern, focused and in tune with the global trend.
You listen to a Metallica song, and you listen to the drums, and they’re not necessarily swinging, but the arrangements are different. Why is that? Because it’s more in tune with jazz arrangements. It’s very different. It’s not a traditional rock and roll production, in terms of the drums.
There are very few things that 13 million people tune in to witness, so television is a really relevant and powerful thing.
If I looked back on 2019, in ten years’ time, and I’d only made club tune after club tune, what’s the purpose?
I would like to sing the theme tune of a big film – something like ‘Titanic.’
From a very early age, I was in tune with pop radio, and most of this listening was done driving. We had an old ’67 or ’65 Buick LeSabre, and whenever we would drive around, I would actually stick my head right against the speakers in the back and sing along to the music.
Everyone has an opinion about things they don’t know much about. You just have to tune everybody out.
Of course the most difficult thing on the violin is always intonation. The second one is rhythm. If you play in tune, in time with a good sound that’s already high level. Those three are the main things.
Ultimately if the body is in tune, most likely the mind is in tune.
I don’t profess to be Luciano Pavarotti, but I can hold a tune.
I’m a huge fan of Renaissance art. It’s very direct. They’re paintings that hit you in the face in the same immediate way that a huge pop tune hits you in the face.
Keep it in tune with the times, but don’t write with the specific purpose of trying to create a hit. If you’re doing it strictly to make money, you’re crazy. There are easier ways to make money.
I’m a huge fan of The Chemical Brothers and the Ninja Tune label and a lot of the stuff that they put out like DJ Shadow but I think, out of all of them, Leftism really just excited my musical brain in terms of the way that they mixed real instruments with dance tracks.
‘Spectrum’ is in part a disco song. But we play it hard, and it’s a real euphoric, wailing tune. It’s kind of like a total house anthem, in a way, but it seems to be going down really well. We’ve got all the grunge kids going mad for disco house raves.
Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.
Playing with Kaka is easy, as is Raul. They are very intelligent and they know what to do at each moment. With these types of players, with such quality, it is easy to get in tune with.
