I have a fairly realistic idea about what my gifts and limitations are.
Those of you who have spent time with Australians know that we are not given to overstatement. By nature we are laconic speakers and by conviction we are realistic thinkers.
For me I tried to not keep a low profile but I was training in a different country as I prepared for Sydney because I had such a realistic gold medal shot. I just wanted to stay focused and not get caught up in all of the hullabaloo and all of press prior to it.
Stylized acting and direction is to realistic acting and direction as poetry is to prose.
I’m realistic about my age and realistic about the fact that there’s an awful lot less in front of me than there is behind me. I’ve always felt that music is an art form that deserves to live the life of the artist.

Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic. I see no line between the imaginary and the real.
I’m starting to play lots more naturalistic, realistic people than when I first started. Maybe because I was doing character comedy shows, and I was doing slightly weird, oddball characters with weird accents, those were the characters that I got cast to play – which made perfect sense.
The way the British ‘Office’ got away with being so dark was that it only had 13 episodes. There are realistic elements that people obviously enjoy, but they don’t necessarily want to relive the trials and tribulations of their average work day.
Football was always a dream, but a distant dream until when I was about to go to university. I’d had a couple of trials, but it wasn’t a realistic dream, it was a kid’s dream.
The problem with Raven is that she’s so smart, so sometimes it’s hard for her to be hopeful or idealistic, because she’s so realistic. So even if she’s working on a solution, she’s not proud of it until it’s concrete.
I hate to admit that. I want to win every race, but I know that’s not possible. To be in the top 25 is realistic if we have any luck this year. But anything to be in the chase or something like that is very unrealistic.
It is a lot more difficult to make a typical Bollywood film than a realistic film.
When your mates break up with their boyfriends, it’s hard to see, but not all relationships last forever. Let’s be realistic.
I know I’m on a small cable reality show. I’m realistic where I stand in the scheme of things.
I also used these realistic sounds in a psychological way. With The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, I used animal sounds – as you say, the coyote sound – so the sound of the animal became the main theme of the movie.
I wanted to shoot straight, mainstream, somehow off-beat. Not only realistic West, which is quite unfamiliar to the world’s population – even to a lot of Americans.
Especially today, Mollywood’s action scenes comprise of many ‘hero touches and the villain flies’ scenes. I never promoted that, and only believed in realistic stunts, with just the right amount of cinematic feel seasoned on them.
If people think we can draw a circle around North America and that we can be an independent island of energy, that’s not realistic. This is a world market for oil, for refined products, and increasingly, for natural gas.
I am not in Bollywood for item songs. I have to do some meaty roles and realistic films.
I always wanted to be part of a realistic film where there is less to act and more to live.
To be realistic, the big Dutch clubs cannot afford me. That’s not because of my wages; it’s the transfer fee.
The word deepfake has become a generic noun for the use of machine-learning algorithms and facial-mapping technology to digitally manipulate people’s voices, bodies and faces. And the technology is increasingly so realistic that the deepfakes are almost impossible to detect.
My life has been the antithesis of that book ‘The Secret’. I’ve always been interested in doing what I do. I love storytelling and I really enjoyed acting, but it never seemed like a realistic thing.
I eat three home-cooked meals a day, all prepared in advance. My ethos is to stay away from unsustainable low-calorie diets and aim for something balanced: loads of veg, protein and enjoy the carbs you love. Be realistic. I don’t count sugar or salt or grams of fat: it’s very restrictive and unenjoyable.
To be realistic today is to be visionary. To be realistic is to be starry-eyed.

I shattered the notion that a movie had to be advertised with realistic elements from the story.
In the past, individuals and companies envisioned a lifetime mutual commitment. That’s not realistic anymore – nor is it in the interest of either party. So both parties need a more adaptable way to engage each other and co-invest over shorter periods of time for mutual benefit.
I have no shortage of material or offers, it’s just a case of what you select to do. But I think it’s realistic that my chances of playing Romeo are now over.
I’m a realistic person, but I’m also a person who believes a lot in goals.
There’s people I respect, and I guess that can be a crush. I think someone like Eddie Redmayne, he’s incredibly talented, and he’s realistic to say, like, oh yeah, that can be a crush because he’s not, like, fifty years old.
For us, it’s always important to improve and keep things realistic.
You’re never going to get from the industry what you give to it. But it’s worth it; you just have to be realistic.
Today, Democrats not only have the White House; they have the Senate too. So we have to be realistic about what we can and cannot achieve, while at the same recognizing that realism should never be confused with capitulation.
I stay away from the title of ‘role model.’ I want to be a more realistic role model – not a perfect Barbie role model.
It’s always an honor to be ranked high, but whatever is said about you, you take it and then take a realistic look at yourself and who you are.
I had to write about realistic circumstances. That’s the way my brain works. And I think that gave me a sort of place in the field.
We have to be realistic: we are not going to be able to deport 11 million people – most are hard-working people.
When you’re young, try to be realistic; as you get older, become idealistic. You’ll live longer.
Pixar films are not realistic. They are believable for the worlds we are creating.

The widespread adoption of broadband and the continued advances in personal computing technology are finally making it possible for the collective creation of an online world on a realistic scale.
I didn’t think that a career in theater was very realistic so I thought the only thing I could make money doing and still be somewhat artistic was, god help me, advertising.
Everyone is filtering their selfies to make them look perfect. We’re seeing it more and more in my clinic – patients want to look like a photo they’ve tweaked. They show me the picture and say: ‘This is the new me.’ But many times it’s not realistic.
There are many really good teams in our conference this season. Miami, Indiana and Detroit will be our fiercest opponents this year. But we just have to focus on our game and be patient with the realistic hope that we’ll be on top after all is said and done.
I will not contest my parliamentary seat in a sad election that will not produce a Parliament capable of endorsing a realistic reform agenda for Greece.
As for the long-term future: I am prepared to see in this a vision, not a mystical way but in a realistic way, of a population exchange on a much more important scale and including larger territories.
I like to mumble when I act, ’cause I think it’s more realistic. For some reason, the impediment has given me the accent of a Mexican gangster.
