I’m probably not your typical business person in many ways. I don’t wear a suit. I don’t carry a briefcase. I don’t wear a tie. I’m fairly casual. I haven’t got a big office, and it’s in a very ordinary part of town. I’d much prefer to downplay than impress.
I was blacklisted because of this activity, so I’m not a typical anything.
For older actresses, the story is still the same. They are either subservient wives taking care of their husbands – like that typical age-old character of a woman, who serves her husband a hot cup of tea as soon as he comes home; or they are mothers dependent on their sons.
I don’t feel that I’ve had a life of abuse or that I am a victim in any way. My life is pretty typical of a lot of Americans of my generation who grew up in the sixties in families like mine that were sort of unconventional.
I’m very much a typical midwesterner, and I don’t think the condition is curable.
I am a typical Libran. I tend to see two sides of everything.
I’d like to be on ‘Graham Norton.’ Just because I used to do the audience warm-up for the ‘Graham Norton’ show, and I just think that would be a beautifully lovely, typical end to a narrative. I like a neat ending.
In the Indian film industry, especially those of us who are in mainstream cinema, we invariably play a typical hero’s role. More often than not, we cater to the public perception. However, there is a latent desire in most actors to do a role where you can go all out and experiment.
The transfiguration of Jesus is one of the typical facts of the resurrection of the body; not only of the glorious change, but of the renewed life of the body and of the general judgment day.
I don’t like to talk about typical things in my music – my music is more about real life situations.
My father is an amazing guy – he’s a total, total patriot… He loves America … and he says what’s on his mind… He’s not like the typical politician who has to pander to everybody.
I have played characters where I haven’t been absorbed – you know, what I call a typical film leading man role where you just have to look gorgeous and be attractive and charming. It bores me. I like a bit of dirt, a bit of sand in the oyster.
I’ve had a somewhat typical experience in that many of the contemporary writers I was exposed to early on were white and often male.
I long for typical days, but rarely get them any more.
I have to be able to rap. I don’t have the look. I don’t have the typical slim-dude, fancy-clothes look. That’s not me. I have to be able to rap – there is no other choice, or else I get eaten alive.
I’m your typical highly educated, progressive white dude. I’ve lived my life resisting racism both within myself and in the society around me.
You look how much sugar is in a typical supermarket loaf of bread: it’s a lot of sugar. It’s just become one of those sugar delivery systems in our food economy.
We tend to think that employment is employment, and we don’t ask the question: is this rewarding employment? Research establishes pretty clearly that typical notions of happiness – that more is better – really don’t correspond to the way people think and feel.
A typical twenty-page short story would work quite well as a graphic novel. A single graphic novel of maybe 120 pages would condense down into a short story quite nicely.
Generally my typical books have lots of twists and turns a big surprise ending and then usually another surprise at the end and ideally, as in Garden of Beasts, we get to the very end and we find at the last few pages that there’s yet another surprise.
When people see a Spanish last name, they have an image in their head of what the typical Latina looks like. I think it’s important on television to have different representations of people. And I’m so proud of being Latina. I love it.
Voter fraud is a reality in American elections, but it is typical of the candidate to confuse anecdote with data and turn allegation into conspiracy.
Arcadia was a typical venture capital deal, but I’m the adventurer and the capitalist.
When I first heard the script of ‘Brishti Brishti,’ I was really excited. The film will require me to break away from the typical Ravi Kishan mould. Getting under the skin of my character will be a big challenge.
My husband wanted me to be a typical socialite. We never agreed on anything, so finally we decided it wasn’t going to work.
