As a Formula One driver, you dream about winning your first race all your life. I am desperate to know what it feels like.
Some days, I know beauty techniques like it’s my job, and other days I can’t do my makeup for the life of me. So I find it easiest to just put on mineral veil and a little mascara and call it a day. I use Physician’s Formula and Bare Minerals every day of my life.
I am living my childhood dream of racing in Formula 1 and I’ve put my whole life into achieving that dream so it is only natural for me to be giving absolutely everything I’ve got, to achieve success in racing and the day I no longer do that I will retire from racing immediately.
Formula 1 is the sort of place where people tend to have an opinion about everything, and usually, they tend to believe their own opinion is the right one, even if it relates to someone else.
For me, you have to not have a formula. You have to not even sit down and say, ‘I want to write right now.’ It has to just kind of come out. It’s not something you can plan.
The process of composing the film score for each movie is completely different. They all have their own personality and their own completely different life, but there’s never been a formula. Each time, it’s a new thing.
Vicente Fox beat the PRI by gambling on a simple formula: Marketing + Money = Presidency.
My winter uniform is jeans, boots, and an oversize blazer for good measure. It’s my formula for getting dressed in under 10 minutes.
There’s not a formula that I’m following; it’s just how I feel at the time. For instance, I did a very experimental film called ‘Hardcore Henry,’ and that was simply because I thought the filmmaker was very interesting and a risk taker. A film like that had never been made before, so I chose to do that at the time.
For ‘Brow Struck’, I really wanted it to be able to create natural-looking brows. So we found this really innovative formula that has a very specific type of shimmer that has a reflectiveness to it. Eyebrows are not naturally matte, so the point of this formula is to really mirror that.
Under each formula lies a corpse.
My formula for success is rise early, work late, and strike oil.
In Formula 1 it’s easier to dial out the balance issues and perfect it, whereas in IndyCar it’s more difficult to dial out those characteristics with mechanical changes in the pits. Instead you have to drive around it.
Circumstances of crimes vary. So do motives. And so do prospects for rehabilitation. The number of imponderables makes it impossible to sentence by formula and still sentence justly.
I’ve written in the middle of a conversation or the grocery store or at another band’s concert or in the last moments before falling asleep. It’s pretty unpredictable. I think it’s always flowing, and sometimes I’m not listening. There’s no formula for when I’m going to be able to be a good listener to myself.
When I was coming onto ‘Thrones,’ I was looking for, ‘What’s the formula here?’ There was a very David Lean kind of approach to it. It was traditional, in a way, and it was naturalistic in some respects, even though it was fantasy.
The thing is everything is good at the Cheesecake Factory. Everything’s good. It’s science-based. It’s a formula; there’s math. It’s all good!
The American formula for creating business is not to have the government create business.
I am really excited to be partnering with Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula. Aside from being a longtime fan of their products, they’re a family business with a strong ethical foundation, and that makes us a great match.
Obviously being third in the Formula 1 world championship would be crazy.
My own tastes happen to be in tune with what the public wants. I think that’s the reason my batting average is so high, not because I’ve discovered some brilliant formula.
I love MAC Smouldering Eyes. The really creamy formula means it’s easily smudged, creating an attitude for the evening.
I think ‘Hero’ is not a real martial arts movie; it is not about violence, or formula.
It is one thing to drive a Formula 1 car, and it is another thing to actually race it.
The drum records that I like are ones on which the drumming didn’t repeat itself. The players didn’t stick to a format or formula.
In Formula 1 there is so much grip, you can attack the corner so hard and be so aggressive in corner entries, and that doesn’t really work in IndyCar. You have to bring that back a bit and be more precise in the mid-corner to exit.
I always wondered what the longevity of the name Lil Xan would be. I always contemplated whether I’d have to change it, but I learned you don’t have to if the formula is working.
When I first began working in Japan, I had to confront the Japanese people’s excessive worship for foreign goods and the fixed idea of what clothes ought to be. I wanted to change the rigid formula of clothing that the Japanese followed.
My ad-hoc empirical formula is that wherever you grow a lot of rice, there is a lot of art developing as well. My theory goes on to say that after having a nice meal of rice, one feels lethargic and don’t think of work. When you don’t think of work, you think of art.
I completely work on the basis of my intuition. I don’t think I premeditate a success formula. There is no formula to make a successful film.
Things can change very quickly in Formula 1.
The problem is Twitter is designing the metaphorical equivalent of a Toyota Prius. A car for the masses. While I want a Formula One race car.
I was a science guy in school, numbers and science and formula: what made things work and how to bring them forward – not what happened.
I think Formula One is – there’s a lot of differences from track to track, grip levels, tyre compound, so you always have to press the reset button and work from scratch again.
For me I think the sport is as good as it is, I really personally miss the sound a lot of the old engines, the V8s, the V10s. That is personally my biggest regret or miss, what is lacking I think with the sensation of Formula 1, a lot of people associate also with that.
Success has a simple formula: do your best, and people may like it.
You know what? I wanna play something that is really… it changes the game. I don’t wanna be the same story where it’s the Charles Bronson formula, where he’s getting revenge or whatever.
Companies are recognizing that paid leave reduces training and turnover costs, that it’s a formula for recruiting and retaining good workers.
I enjoy playing golf, but no, I don’t think golf helps driving. It does take my mind away from driving, though; every time I play golf, I don’t think about Formula 1.
My songwriting process is based on a formula: Color, tone, words. When I hear production, I initially identify the color that resonates with me. From there, I am able to translate the color into tone or emotion, which may depend on a number of things.
We all love a bit of ‘true love conquers all,’ and when I started on ‘Poison,’ ‘Charm’ and ‘Beauty,’ that was one rule of the fairy tale formula that I didn’t want to break.
Of course my dad went to Formula One, so I think that my dad is the better driver of the two. But I think, for a girl, my mom was not too bad, of course.
It’s all very well to talk about how it would be great to have a woman driver, a woman with sponsors and marketing, that’s all great but to get into that drive you have to perform. That’s what I realized early on when I got into Formula One.
A famous man once said, ‘A sure formula for failure is to try and please everyone.’ Some might say I built a career on doing just the opposite of pleasing everyone.
Initially, when ‘Scam’ was released and it instantly became huge, I did feel the pressure. Everyone kept telling me that my next move will decide my career, that I had to choose wisely and be double sure of what I do next. But when I thought about it, I realised there’s no formula to this.
You arrive at Formula One being very skeptical, how far can your talent deal with all this, and then you understand those guys are human and pretty reasonable, and finally succeeding in winning your first race, in circumstance as such, it was just an amazing moment.
At ‘OITNB,’ we really work to keep to the formula that’s made this show so popular with everyone who watches it, which is to have really good characters and really interesting stories.
To be completely honest, I am obsessed with Formula 1 so in the off-season I would like to have just a few more races to still race in F1.
I love to do things that kind of mess with the movie formula that you can always find the right place to park; you’ve always got a phone signal. And I think audiences really respond to the limitations of real life when they intrude on drama.
My kids are fanatical about ‘Scooby-Doo’, and I think that the creators of ‘Scooby-Doo’ somehow tripped across some kind of magical hypnotic formula that lures children. It’s far more fascinating to them than anything else on the air.
People imagine that there are rituals, like lighting candles or sacrificing chickens. They really just want to know what the magic formula is for writing. I inevitably disappoint them by saying you just put your butt in the chair, and you write 500 words a day, and then you get up and repeat it the next morning.
The brilliance of ‘Sharknado 2’ is it’s more of the same – similar formula, more of the experience.
