Well, I think there are artists who are more or less contemporary with Hopper who are more relevant.
I tell my son, when your music becomes less relevant, your pathetic comic value might be of some use. So you’ve got to go with it, you know.
Originalism is sort of subspecies of textualism. Textualism means you are governed by the text. That’s the only thing that is relevant to your decision, not whether the outcome is desirable, not whether legislative history says this or that. But the text of the statute.
Most of us are having to invent, discover, and create the next steps of our lives without a light, a map, or a relevant tradition.
Of course I’m proud of what I’ve done, but I’m interested in what’s next. I want to be relevant now, in 2012. I’ve done my bit for the past. I’ve only ever been about what’s next, really, and I’ll be that way until I keel over.
More generally, I made an effort to leave out things that weren’t relevant to the main narrative themes of the book, namely that there were two sides to Steve Jobs: the romantic, poetic, countercultural rebel on one side, and the serious businessperson on the other.
I’m still waiting for rock bands to come back, something raw and relevant.
I was always driven by the idea that if people ever found out about who I was then the stature I created for myself within rugby would have to be as relevant as the fact I was gay. It was always the driving factor to be the strongest, the fastest, the most skilful.
Age is irrelevant. Experience is relevant.
Being an artist for my well being and as a living, I live in a place of observance and interest in what I consider to be the most relevant questions.
My writing is called exotic or avant-garde because I write about rural places. Has it really come to this, that if you write about the country you are avant-garde? How did this happen? Modern agriculture and spaces are still so relevant.
You can’t intellectually purge yourself of who you are. Whatever that is, it’s going to come out in the wash, the film wash. What you are is going to be relevant, if not to yourself, to the movies you make.
I think Spain will always remain inspirational, and I think French cuisine will continue to be very French and yet very relevant with its time and keep evolving. But the last thing you want for it is to become too trendy and confusing. It has too much history.
What can I say? I’m just a relevant dude. It’s just natural. My hunger’s still there. I still keep my ear to the streets. I record every song like it’s my last. I just love music. I’m blessed.
My goal was always to be part of pop culture and relevant to young people, to interact with the people they hold in high esteem.
We have rules that no longer are relevant to the world we’re living in. Our regulatory system can’t keep up.
Unlike the messier MySpace, Facebook has a cleaner and easier-to-customize interface and is much more, as Zuckerberg once described it to me, ‘utilitarian.’ I would call it useful and more relevant than other competitors, and a white-label version would likely be a hit.
Brands frantically tried to compete for users’ fragmented attention, spraying content on every platform in a 24/7 race to stay relevant.
I couldn’t resist hiding some historical details and a few clues relevant to the plot and characters of ‘A Discovery of Witches’ throughout the pages of the novel.
I think it is quite dangerous for an organisation to think they can predict where they are going to need leadership. It needs to be something that people are willing to assume if it feels relevant, given the context of any situation.
We want to be more relevant to the fastest-growing segment of the population – Hispanics.
‘Frankenstein’ is a timeless classic. As science advances, it becomes more relevant, not less. Its fantasy moves closer to fact, its horrors closer to reality.
Earth is abundant with plentiful resources. Our practice of rationing resources through monetary control is no longer relevant and is counter-productive to our survival.
My major ambition is just to stay relevant.
In a very short period of time, actors can become kind of relevant and hot.
I get a lot of inspiration from research in mythology and folklore. I find that, you know, stories people told each other thousands of years ago are still relevant now.
There are probably industries where gender is more of an issue, but our industry is not one where I think that’s relevant.
Your relationship to a film, and to cinema, is very much determined by yourself, so what is relevant is you.
But it seemed to me that as soon as you have computer storage you could put every point you wanted in – make the ones that are less relevant to your central topic, further away or allow the central topic to move as the reader proceeded.
The whole point of politics is to stay in touch, to be relevant to modern problems, to offer people relief from current worries, to give them hope based on contemporary experience.

I wanted to make films that were culturally relevant in my own country, that challenged people, and that people talked about.
I try to make music that’s relevant to my life and relatable to the culture I live in.
Charities are now working to give people in poor countries access to the Internet. But shouldn’t we spend that money on providing health clinics and safe water? Aren’t these things more relevant? I have no intention of downplaying the importance of the Internet, but its impact has been exaggerated.
We need less theoretical debate and more practical application and acknowledgment of what Europe can and does do so that it is brought home to people in a relevant way.
Advertisers really want to create ads that are relevant to the realtime experience.
I never thought about making music because it has to be a hit. There are so many better singers out there who are better trained in music, but I am probably the chosen one… I have not discovered any formula for staying relevant.
I decided to be a part of ‘Bajrangi’… because I felt that it tells a very relevant story.
A rap is a tweaked version of comedy, because comedy came first. People weren’t spitting before they were doing comedy. Comedy has been relevant for years. It’s the same art form, pretty much. Discovering that and applying it, I think that has made my stand-up better.
What’s most galvanizing for me is the opportunity to be topical and relevant and entertaining. That’s the holy grail.
The first purpose of comedy is to make people laugh. Anything deeper is a bonus. Some comedians want to make people laugh and make them think about socially relevant issues, but comedy, by the very nature of the word, is to make people laugh. If people aren’t laughing, it’s not comedy. It’s as simple as that.
You can find academic and industrial groups doing some relevant work, but there isn’t a focus on building complex molecular systems. In that respect, Japan is first, Europe is second, and we’re third.
If I see someone wearing Hilfiger it makes me proud, but then I wonder what I could do to make the style more relevant for them next year?
In any event, the proper question isn’t what a journalist thinks is relevant but what his or her audience thinks is relevant. Denying people information they would find useful because you think they shouldn’t find it useful is censorship, not journalism.
You start to forget about the world outside – it’s not relevant or relatable anymore. The darkest part of solitary confinement is that you start to forget about cars and jobs and families and weather and politicians – and all the things that make up a society.
Feminism doesn’t have a particularly constructive image, although I think there was time when it was relevant.
My pride at being a member of the theater community is deep, and we have a chance to reach a lot of people who might feel like there’s a place for them. I want theater to be part of the cultural conversation and be on par with all mediums of television in its ability to be relevant.
The way you raise the profile of an issue is by making the issue cool and relevant in pop culture.
When they put me on ESPN and they talk about negative things, or when they put me on TMZ and they talk about negative things, I’m just glad that I’m relevant; to have lasted this long being relevant.
It’s important that communities support local, independent journalism, which many people rely upon for information relevant to their daily lives.
Scientific knowledge is, by its nature, provisional. This is due to the fact that as time goes on, with the invention of better instruments, more data and better data hone our understanding further. Social, cultural, economic, and political context are relevant to our understanding of how science works.
I think that we’re on a path that Apple was determined to be on since the ’70s, which was to try and make technology relevant and personal.
I have been lucky in my life to have met people that are special, so extraordinary talented that they somehow are on a different plane. Sometimes these amazingly talented people find a way to keep reinventing themselves to stay relevant and alive. Some fall under the crushing vibrancy of their own intensity.
