I’ve been asked about this constantly, and I compare it to how if you’re walking down the street and some schizo guy comes up to you and vomits on you: You wouldn’t be hurt by that, you’d just think it’s weird.
My technicolour dreamcoat is the only thing I’ve stolen. It would be a terrible shame if it went up in smoke after the trouble I went to get it. I was wearing it during the most terrifying moment of my life – the opening night of ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ was fear beyond compare.
I don’t compare myself with the late NTR, but I want to give livelihood to people. He was pro-poor, and people want me to substitute him and bring a change, and I will do that.

I think it will be, as always, interesting to compare different portrayals of Hitchcock. I’m very honored that I’m playing the same part as Anthony Hopkins.
I very often compare relations between states to relations with people. Sometimes we are nicer to those we don’t know well, who are not our friends, than we are to our friends, because with our friends we don’t need to be nice all the time.
You can easily compare chocolate to wine. What makes a good wine is usually a good terroir, a good grape, and the weather has something to do with it. Chocolate is the same, from where the cacao bean grows to what type of tree it grows on.
I compare a lot of life to looking at a map through a straw. The less ability you have to see life in a humorous way, the smaller the straw is that you’re looking at the map of life.

You cannot compare warm-ups with World Cup games.
The pressure to be pretty? I set, you know, boundaries and goals for myself. I try not to compare myself to anyone else because I will never be anyone else except myself. So I try and stay true to me, and hopefully the right projects will come my way.
I don’t think it’s fair to compare Dick Cheney to Vader – it’s unfair to Vader.

I think now, whenever I write, there is nothing that will really compare to pen and paper.
As women, we have to realize what we bring to the table. What do you want to do for the world? How do you want to change it? And when you know that, you don’t have to compare yourself to anybody else.
I would compare kicking to being a closer in baseball. This whole game gets played, or the cake is made in front of you, so to speak, and you have to turn around and put the icing on the cake.

You can’t compare the effect of multimedia-tasking and the effect of playing action games. They have totally different effects on different aspects of cognition, perception and attention.

When people see a talented girl, it calls to mind the very rare breed of women who have managed to succeed. If I were a dude with the exact same voice, band and songs, I doubt they’d compare me to Sheryl Crow. But hey, I’m not complaining. Big fish, small pond.
There’s nothing unusual about a single language dying. But what’s going on today is extraordinary when we compare the situation to what has happened in the past. We’re seeing languages dying out on a massive scale.

When you come from nowhere, I am fully aware of the fact that people have to compare you to other artists to kind of place you.

It’s very difficult and unfair probably to compare players from different eras, because they were able to reach excellence in their time and they have to be rewarded for that.
Don’t compare your career to anyone else’s. It’s tough when you’re in a business that’s competitive. I was having a difficult time with that in college. Now, I’m having to learn to be patient and be where I am.
Of all creatures in this visible world, light is the most glorious; of all light, the light of the sun without compare excels the rest.
