I’ve had to make the transition from sweeping in for 15 minutes, doing my stuff and clearing out, to carrying a movie for the duration – in a dress.
I’ve written virtually as long as I’ve acted, it wasn’t a sudden transition. I acted in my first play when I was 16 and I wrote my first play when I was 17.
When I was going through transition, I didn’t push it on everyone.
I found ‘Bordertown’ when I was standing on the border between childhood and my teens, and it carried me past that transition. In the process, it helped to create the next step of its own evolution: the modern urban fantasy owes a lot more to ‘Bordertown’ than many people will ever know.
I’m not aggressive by nature and it was tough for me to make the transition to directing.
Commercial directing felt like a very natural transition from my comedy, sketch, music video directing experience.
For ‘Way Down Low’, I was particularly inspired by a breakup I was going through and a transition I was making from Austin to New York.
The great thing about writing ‘Deadpool’ is that he can demolish expectations and typical comic book conventions with monster truck force. There are few other characters who can transition so easily from one type of story to the next.

‘MyMusic’ is a great showcase of what we can do as creators on a modest budget when we’re given the opportunity to put together a television-sized project, and hopefully, whether it’s ‘MyMusic’ making that transition to television or having something sprout off from it, it’s an exciting time to be a creator.
The energy transition demands a clear vision of the steps that need to be taken and a stable, meaningful regulatory framework.

I think that it’s important to say that trans people exist, and we are valid, whether we choose to transition or not. It’s really up to anyone to decide what is going to make them feel the most like themselves.
After Rio, I joined the gymnastics team at the University of Utah. It was a hard transition, because I’ve always competed in elite gymnastics, where we throw big skills. In college, you don’t get any points for difficulty, but once I got the hang of it, it was a piece of cake.
I want to assure you that working in transition period is an ungrateful job for any honest government.
Liberia just needs to go through this one political transition and it can really take off. Everything’s in place now. We cannot afford to put the country in the hands of someone that lacks the experience.
December used to be very difficult for me. For many years, I fought the transition to the new year, was generally exhausted at the end of the year, and just wanted to hide. I described myself as a ‘cranky Jewish kid who felt left out by Christmas.’
In working with those who are dying, I offer another human being a spacious environment with my mind in which they can die as they need to die. I have no right to define how another person should die. I’m just there to help them transition, however they need to do it.
I don’t think of bouncing between acting and singing as a transition but rather as an expansion. I love both crafts so deeply, I feel my heart and soul have no choice but to explore both. I could never choose between the two of them. I am passionate about both for equal yet different reasons.
Unfortunately, modeling takes you with no transition from being a girl to being a business woman.
I didn’t have any terrible survival jobs. The main job I had before I was able to transition over to acting full-time was working at an after-school program at a middle school teaching improv and standup. So even when I had a regular job, I was still lucky enough to be doing the stuff I loved in some way.
By living mindfully, you understand that there are many transitions in life. You just go through them.

Making the leap from the best sunglasses company in the world to a world-class brand is a natural transition.
Man is in a transition stage; he has 31 pairs of spinal nerves which keys him to the solar month, but the nerves in the so-called cauda-equina – literally horse-tail, at the end of our spinal cord, are still too undeveloped to act as avenues for the spiritual ray of the sun.
You know how many times I have to witness the transition from, ‘Oh, get away from that thug,’ to, ‘Oh, wait a minute, that’s the guy from ‘Weeds’! Hey, can I shake your hand?’
That transition to a digital age, to a forward looking country, needs to happen.
Disenchantment, whether it is a minor disappointment or a major shock, is the signal that things are moving into transition in our lives.
Probably people always feel that they are living in a time of transition, but we can hardly be mistaken perhaps in thinking that this is an era of particularly momentous change, rapid and proceeding at an ever quickening rate.
I’d like to thank my former club, Manchester City, for the support throughout my time in the Championship and during my transition to Huddersfield.
Don’t sweat it if you are stuck in the corporate job right now. But begin to plan ahead. I know from much personal experience that it takes 1-3 years to transition from total scratch to making a living from home in any career you want.

I never got to make that transition from little girl to young woman… and that really screws you up.
No, I’m not a comic book guy. I’m pretty fascinated with the subculture though and I do think that the world of comic books is such a natural transition into film.
Paper publishers are doing everything they can to slow the transition to eBooks because, in a digital world, paper publishers’ high hardback margins essentially disappear.
Creating on-campus communities for student veterans will help ease the transition from military to student life by providing networking opportunities, assistance with federal benefits, and career services.
Some people in Hollywood think of me as a model for dramatic midlife transitions: suburban housewife to Emmy-winning actress. But I never plotted a master plan for following my dreams.
Kettlebells are the best for everything. We do snatches and swings with them for explosiveness and hamstring and lower back strength, and we’ll also throw them into conditioning circuits where I’ll do a burpee holding the kettlebells and transition into a 2-handed snatch.
Our economy, for a long while, has been transitioning from one reliant on industrial strength to one based on digital information. The next step in this transition is a digital economy shaped by connectivity.

It’s maybe an unrecognized fact of academia that what you spend a lot of your time doing is convincing people of your vision and raising funds to support your research activity. So in that sense, transitioning to a startup wasn’t that big of a transition.
Americans know our only response in the face of mounting risks from climate change must be the swift transition to a clean energy economy. We do not have the luxury of burying our heads in the sand.
That transition from child to adult actor is so incredibly elusive. The roles that were coming to me as a young adult were not that great, but I was taking them anyway to pay the rent. And the more bad roles in bad movies I took, the less anybody wanted me for a good role in a good movie.
I think what people don’t realize is the transition from NXT to the main roster is a big jump. It’s getting a whole new audience familiar with a certain character. If you debut too many women at one time, it’s hard for the audience to get to know, understand, and see the rise of that character.
The problem with the spectrum that is trans-ness and where people like Caitlyn Jenner lie, transitioning and being trans is more than a physical thing. Transition is a process.
