On a serious note, I just enjoy exploring the unconventional. I like Alfred Hitchcock; I actually grew up watching his films. A thriller gives you much more scope of exhibiting creativity in terms of playing with the camera and sound, as against a typical love story.
I grew up in the Netherlands, in a small little town. Just a typical Dutch girl.
I have a nervous breakdown in the film and in one scene I get to stand at the top of the stairs waving an empty sherry bottle which is, of course, a typical scene from my daily life, so isn’t much of a stretch.
A typical Ponzi scheme involves taking money from investors, then paying them off with money taken from new investors, rather than paying them from actual earnings.
My training varies so much. There’s no such thing as a typical day.
I guess I just always had this idea that I would go to Hollywood. I had the typical ‘get up and go’ attitude that you have to have in order to make the brave step into the big city.
This obsession with celebrity culture is really unhealthy. I don’t want to live my life like that, and I don’t want to be a typical pop star.

As a regent, I hope to bring that important perspective of a typical family visitor in combination with my background as a Member of Congress and a proponent of the Smithsonian’s efforts to reach all Americans.
I’ve gotten to really, really like being back in the States. It’s so easy being in your own country, and I really like Americans – typical American towns and provincial college towns are my ideal place to be.
I’m not one of those typical receivers who’s like a robot in the slot or outside.
Unlike a typical professional, I can’t quit my job to become a full-time author; I don’t have that luxury. For me, writing is therapy; if I choose to write full-time, it might start feeling like work.
Don’t get too caught up in the typical ideas of what makes a good drummer. Those things are sort of unattainable, and they’re not always creatively your most useful things to know.
A typical agent in New York gets 400 query letters a month. Of those, they might ask to read 3-4 manuscripts, and of those, they might ask to represent 1.

I drink a lot. More or less 10 or 12 coffees a day, both typical Italian and espresso.

It’s typical at Real Madrid that we often seem to be going through a revolution.
My accent is not very refined as it has the typical U.P. touch. So I am trying to overcome that.
It’ll be interesting to see if I ever have to play a typical, bland romantic interest. I’m quirky, and playing it kind of straight and bland doesn’t interest me a whole lot.
Encourage aspiring writers to continue writing when things are going against them, when it feels hard. Explain the typical obstacles that occur, and encourage and reassure them to continue, never to give up.
I’ve been influenced by a lot of films. And a lot of them are the typical interesting, artsy films. But I haven’t talked enough about how there are those few big blockbusters that really rock your world.
You know, what ‘New Girl’ is doing is they’re bringing in really cool people. These are home-run people who aren’t your typical guest-star-type people.
I’ve been involved in the Conservative party for two decades. I’ve fought for the party. I have an unusual background – I’m not your typical Tory recruit. I’ve spent a long time evangelising about why people should look at the Conservative party seriously.
I have this typical Ukrainian face. Even people who know my music don’t recognize me most of the time, thank God.
My typical Saturday night is a great solo dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. I like to talk to the restaurant staff while I eat, then come home, finish up some work until midnight, and then play the keyboard until I’m ready to sleep.
A typical week of training leading up to a major championship is like the sprinkling of parsley at the end of a dish. It’s just the final little touches, that last little bit of strength or fitness, but mostly you are ready and are just maintaining and staying healthy.
I don’t have a typical filmmaker background. I didn’t grow up with a super eight camera or a video camera. I didn’t start cutting movies when I was four or five.
The thing that most critics miss about Faulkner is that his famous storytelling voice is, in fact, a standard Southern storytelling voice that is typical of the Gulf Coast – Mississippi, Alabama and so on.

‘Independents’ – the industry term for companies that have more capital and know-how than the typical ‘wildcatter’ – can grow either by exploring and finding reserves or by buying a company that already has them.
I grew out of the habit of thinking or worrying about being seen as the typical Asian. I don’t even know what that means anymore. I’m not really concerned with it.
The beautiful thing about ‘Bhav’ is that it reaches out to a far more number than just the typical set of people who say they like classical music and dance.
The president we have today is a typical Washington politician that’s prone to hyperbole and decisiveness and false outrage. And I think it’s very sad – very sad to watch.
The authentic Gullah dialect is actually very clipped, and so it would sound almost Jamaican and be very odd to an American audience’s ears. It’s not the typical Southern dialect that we’re used to.
Some creative writing programs seem evil, but my experience at Irvine was totally the opposite, where I feel like they were really good at focusing in on each writers voice and setting. When I felt like I was obligated to write a story that was more typical, no one really liked it.
The sources and research I use for my inspiration aren’t your typical sci-fi subjects, but it’s really driven by obsession and personal anxiety more than trying to take up the sword and do what’s right.
I think all my albums have concentrated on songs, I’ve never taken the typical Van Halen route to try and become a guitar hero.
I didn’t want to do something typical.
Getting to prove yourself in a room that’s not your typical demo is an experience every comic should try. It makes you better.
I don’t like to look typical.
When Bound was released, Boys don’t Cry wasn’t out yet. Therefore it was very taboo to play a lesbian. I loved the part, because girls never get to play the typical guy parts.
When you get pregnant, you start reading pregnancy books. Everything has been pretty textbook. It’s amazing how they can say, ‘This week, this might happen,’ and it kind of does. I had typical nausea the first trimester, which was no fun. And extreme tiredness.
A typical day in the Senate requires several trips to the Senate floor and back, although the journey is usually underground so that on some days, once I arrive at work, I never see the sun.
I’m dying to do a masala Bollywood film with typical song and dance. But having said that, my character in the film should have her own point of view. I won’t play a role who has no brains.
I’m from a typical middle-class family in Delhi, with one of the most down-to-earth childhoods.
In any game, you have an enemy coming at yourself that you have to shoot. If you go back to ‘Space Invaders,’ they shoot at you when they come at you, so how are you going to protect yourself? You’re going to shoot, and that is a typical videogame.
Sir Alex Ferguson sent me a letter wishing me good luck before my fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. He also sent me a United shirt, signed by all of the players. It was a really nice touch and typical of the man who has always made himself available to managers in this country whenever they’ve needed advice.
My father was a typical Irish father. He was a nice, hard working, driven guy. His politics were very conservative and I was just a very different kind of kid to that. I was very shy and bookish.
A touring comic’s typical day roughly amounts to an hour of being laughed at and 20 minutes of being photographed. The other 22 hours and 40 minutes are spent in silence.
I always used to say when I was on television that I prefer to be on stage and when on stage I prefer to do television. Typical human condition.

But you don’t hire Ang Lee to do a typical children’s movie. But it’s such an interesting combination, whoever thought of getting Ang together with a comic book, that was just great.
