I never thought acting would be a realistic job for me. Because, quite frankly, I didn’t see people who looked like me doing it. I quickly realized, that’s all the more reason to try.
I enjoy receiving and giving realistic fiction, for both children and adults, with strong characters, beautiful language, and humane visions.
There’ve been a few mother-daughter movies that are somewhat realistic. But the mother-son movies are more comical than realistic: ‘Throw Momma from the Train,’ ‘Stop! or My Mom Will Shoot.’ You don’t sit in the dark and go, ‘Oh my God, that’s my mother.’
Aakhir’ stars Sanjay Suri and Bengali actress Rituparna Sengupta. It’s very close to my heart and the most realistic work I’ve ever done.
I would love to take care of myself and look like Victoria Beckham every time I leave the house. But for me that is not realistic.
Well, I was lucky enough to be involved in about 19 failures at an early age, so I’m realistic about the success I’m having and how quickly it can go away. What’s important is to be smart about it.
I don’t know that I’ve ever looked at baseball like a purely casual fan. That’s just realistic when you grow up with it putting food on your table, and with it taking your dad out of town.
I’d even say it’s a realistic film because that’s the way it happens in our heads; that was the idea.
I think it’s sick that we even post pictures of people in their post-baby bodies or talk about it. It upsets me so much because not only does it make a woman feel bad if she hasn’t lost all their baby weight, it’s not realistic.
Most important to any fake story is a plausible, realistic edge with a satirical twist that is topical.
In some ways any film that you do has an artificiality about it. Even when you’re doing the most kitchen-sinky, gritty, realistic scene you’ve still got 50 people standing around watching you with cameras and lights and things.

All my life, I had loved music and been in choir, and I have a degree in music, but I never planned on doing it as a job. I had a realistic perspective on that. I thought maybe work at a church or be a teacher if you wanted to work in music.
In my world, I don’t believe in forever promises. I don’t think it’s realistic.
If you’re not being pessimistic, you’re not being very realistic. But I think one must always have hope, and when you have children, of course, you have no choice but to work your tail off to try and protect the future for your children. And that is infused by hope in the end.
I’m such a huge sports video game fan. These games are getting so realistic, it’s amazing.
It’d be awesome if you could see an actual player’s faces projected onto an in-game character in a multiplayer game. Imagine how realistic that would feel.

‘Le Mans’ is the only racing movie that is totally realistic.
I set realistic goals consistent with my talents. I never, for instance, wanted to sit on an appellate court. I’m not an academic. Truth be told, I hate to do research. I have a practical mind, and I was well suited for the trial court bench, not the appellate.
I really kind of always wondered, if I did Superman, what I would do, and what I would be able to do, because it’s a little harder for me, being kind of a realistic guy, to imagine doing a character who almost has no limits to his powers.
Elon just presented a plan for settling the solar system in this century that is realistic and affordable. In my paper, ‘A Pathway to a Thriving Commercial Space Economy’ at IAC, I also laid out a path forward to a growing economy in space that produces new opportunities for all.
Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the keys to stress management, which is perhaps the most important ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life.

It’s really unfair to working women in America who read celebrity news and think, ‘Why can’t I lose weight when I’ve had a baby?’ Well, everyone you’re reading about has money for a trainer and a chef. That doesn’t make it realistic.
I care about people’s human rights and, as a country, we have a very proud record indeed. But I’m also realistic about what we can do… we can raise those issues with leaders and we can talk about those issues, and we do that.
Sometimes movies gloss over things, and it was important to me that this was realistic.

If films don’t work, you have to be realistic and keep taking up television projects.
The water in ‘Life of Pi’ is very realistic.
The Flower of My Secret is definitely more based in true emotions. I also wanted to make something more realistic, but not naturalistic or simple.
I don’t think any of us know how we would react until we were put in a situation where we have to do something bad or do something good. I think I’d like to believe I’d act like a decent human being, but I’m realistic to know I don’t know.
All roles I’m doing are realistic – no one offers me anything else.
People will like to say that ‘Eastern Promises’ is brutal, but the only reason they say that is because the scenes stick with them. They are realistic. They are in-your-face and you see the consequences. It’s not a bunch of quick editing cuts.
It’s not sometimes realistic to think that something magical can happen, but I think I look for the magic.
Sometimes people think that regulating their emotions means trying to act as if they don’t have feelings. But, that’s not the case. A realistic view of emotions shows that we’re capable of experiencing a wide range of emotions, but we don’t have to be controlled by those emotions.
I did want to play a superhero. I mean, who doesn’t when you’re a kid? I would have loved to be a superhero. But as I’d gotten older, I wasn’t ready to jump into tights and put the cape on. I was hoping to play something a little more grounded and realistic.
The majority of surveys throughout this Nation show that the American people are advocating for a comprehensive and realistic approach to immigration reform.
I remember my mom being very scared the first few auditions. My parents are very supportive, but they’re also very realistic, which is great.
Be realistic and truthful – and tell Hong Kong businessmen honestly that they should go for long-term investments since it is unlikely money can be made in the short haul.
I like doing them and they’re ridiculous and the actors can improvise a lot, and they don’t have to be really realistic characters that hit a very specific tone as in a feature film. They’re really fun, I want to make more of them definitely.
People have told me that the dialogue in ‘100 Bullets’ is very realistic. I don’t agree.
To be a proactive person, you must learn to say no to most ideas and opportunities so you have the mental and physical bandwidth to execute the realistic business plans you have already mapped out.

I’ve always wanted my characters to have more dimension and realistic cores than the ingenue material often provides. It’s been a challenge.
I’m very realistic. I know my boundaries – I know what I’m good at and what I’m not good at.
To change criminal justice policy in any meaningful way means to propose changing a very longstanding system. It’s not realistic to think you can do it overnight.
One of the most important things I’m glad we did and am proud of is that we don’t have any real grass on our property. It might not be realistic to ask people to pull out their grass, but we’ll never have to think about it. We used Smart Grass, and I think it looks beautiful.
Marseille would be the only place that I’d like to play in France, but I think it’s not realistic.
I wouldn’t recommend young kids see ‘Speedway Junkie.’ It’s definitely an age-appropriate movie – dark and realistic and edgy. If young kids want to see me, go see the Christmas movie.
