I cannot live without art: it excites me, it challenges me, and it leads me to the next thing.
I start with the story, almost in the old campfire sense, and the story leads to both the characters, which actors should best be cast in this story, and the language. The choice of words, more than anything else, creates the feeling that the story gives off.
The highs and lows of Vitor Belfort, I would not want to be that guy. Be on top of the world getting all these ‘knockouts of the night’ and all these awards of the year and then all of a sudden get shunned into the shadows. He leads a shady life, and it seems like karma might be coming back.
I’m a big fan of character actors like Johnny Depp and Gary Oldman. My goal is to continue playing character roles in indie films and move into playing character leads.
Positive emotion alienated from the exercise of character leads to emptiness, to inauthenticity, to depression, and, as we age, to the gnawing realization that we are fidgeting until we die.
There is a danger that threatens everyone in the church, all of us. The danger of worldliness. It leads us to vanity, arrogance and pride.
In every one of the ‘Squickerwonker’ books, we will explore a new Squickerwonker character and their vice and how their vice generally leads to their undoing.
The difference between a beautifully made failure and a beautifully made hit is who you’ve got playing the leads.
I was always the young guy. And when you’re successful when you’re young, it leads to an arrested adolescence or something, y’know.
Most of the women placed in the fire department here in New York never passed the physical test. And a fat guy or a short guy, or anybody not passing the test in a life-or-death job, leads to friction.
A lot of problems stem from a desire to avoid discomfort. For example, people who fear failure often avoid new challenges in an effort to keep anxiety at bay. Avoiding emotional discomfort, however, is usually a short-term solution that leads to long-term problems.
I prefer working with new talent irrespective of whether they know the language or not. At the same time, I have been keen on taking female leads, who know Tamil quite well.
I am running for president to help create a better future. A future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon.
I was never very good at being an unemployed actor. I always thought that I should have been doing something pro-active. I was never good at doing juvenile leads. I suppose it’s because I have this big sarcastic head on me.
You want fans to connect to the book, even movie fans. But if your sole purpose is to write towards a certain kind of fan, that way leads madness.
The idea of ‘Freedom’s Goblin,’ to me, leads to a wild conversation. I would hope that father and son, driving home from the record store, could have a conversation about what that title means. Because to me, it’s the duality of being free: the evil and the good, and how it’s a constant paradox.
Sometimes it leads me even to hesitate whether I am strictly correct in my idea that all men are born to equal rights, for their conduct seems to me to contravene the doctrine.
There’s zero evidence, empirical or anecdotal, that more guns leads to less gun crime.
On so many issues, California leads the country.
Recounting of a life story, a mind thinking aloud leads one inevitably to the consideration of problems which are no longer psychological but spiritual.
A long time ago, I became aware that many of us have a tendency to lump nature into simplistic categories, such as what we consider beautiful or ugly, important or unimportant. As human a thing as that is to do, I think it often leads us to misunderstand the respective roles of life forms and their interconnectedness.
I learned a long time ago that trying to micromanage the perfect vacation is always a disaster. That leads to terrible times.
I guess I cringe when the discussion leads to, rather than books and sentences and characters and the stuff that writers are supposed to be concerned with, how to have an online presence and how many followers you have on Twitter. That stuff always makes me uncomfortable.
It’s great extremes which leads to great drama and great comedy.
I’ve always employed a melodic style with my leads, placing strong emphasis on infusing romantic sensibilities into what I’m trying to say. Those big, epic melodies come from influences like Pink Floyd, Journey, Marillion… bands that have these guitar parts that are just soaring!
The road to the future leads us smack into the wall. We simply ricochet off the alternatives that destiny offers. Our survival is no more than a question of 25, 50 or perhaps 100 years.
I believed in a number of the E.U.’s core values – the promotion of peace, global trading opportunities, and the values of freedom and democracy. These are areas in which our great country leads the world.
Even in national crisis, it is important that we continue to stand up for our community and follow where our faith leads us.
I always find something interesting on Twitter that leads me somewhere else.
Sometimes you don’t know why you’re doing something. You’re intuitively following, to see where it leads.
I was fortunate to work with some of the talented filmmakers of our industry. In addition, one film leads to another. As a newcomer, I explored those opportunities.
Simply put, Cavemen’s diet is a diet plan which suggest food eaten by the cavemen. Cavemen ate what was available – like meat, vegetables and a few nuts. What we grow for food is carbohydrates, and that leads to weight gain. I started this diet a few years ago, and ever since, I haven’t had carbs at all.
Introductions are always weird for me because my name is Hari and it’s constantly mispronounced . ‘Hurry’, ‘Hairy’ – there are different ways to screw it up, and it leads to these awkward conversations.
Depression begins with disappointment. When disappointment festers in our soul, it leads to discouragement.
I have given up trying to be happy. It is no use and leads to nothing.
The absence of diverse voices leads to policies and programs that adversely impact African-Americans.
Sales teams use social media to generate leads and track clients as they move through the sales funnel. Operations and distribution teams forecast supply chains, while research and development squads brainstorm product ideas.
Modeling can be a bit brain damaging. Starting my own brand was what I needed to do. I only model if there are such good jobs that you don’t want to say no to. All that dressing up makes me say, ‘What do I want to wear?’ and, ‘What do I want to do with Topshop?’ It all kind of leads into the other things.
Secure property in hand leads to peace in mind.
I’m a triathlete. Running is when I do my best living and my best thinking. I love the discipline, pushing yourself to suffer as much as you can, because it leads to a form of redemption.
The genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
I always feel like hard work leads the way, and from there, I leave it up to the powers that be.
Which is why I felt I was truly blessed this year, with leads in two nice films, and also the luxury of being able to do a studio film and an independent afterwards was fantastic.
Narrative drives most of economics. Everything seems to be part of a story, and how that story is told often leads to critical error.

Temptation coaxes us toward sin, and sin leads to sickness and death, and ultimately confinement in the realm of the evil one.
There’s something about the waltz in particular, where one person leads and the other follows, that helps you get in tune with each other.
Language leads a double life – and so does the novelist. You chat with family and friends, you attend to your correspondence, you consult menus and shopping lists, you observe road signs, and so on. Then you enter your study, where language exists in quite another form – as the stuff of patterned artifice.
When knowledge is limited – it leads to folly… When knowledge exceeds a certain limit, it leads to exploitation.
A change in bad habits leads to a change in life.
Eroticism is like a dance: one always leads the other.
Idleness among children, as among men, is the root of all evil, and leads to no other evil more certain than ill temper.
Photography can be a deceitful, superficial medium that leads us into believing something even though we know it’s not necessarily true. It lulls us into a false sense of complacency.
Hey ‘Bachelor,’ take notes! Trusting one another and sharing a journey to health leads to lasting relationships!
I have no regrets for not having a solo career in Bollywood because when I joined the film industry I was 35 years old. Nobody gets solo leads when they start their career at this age.
No characters in ‘Stay Close,’ including the leads, are black and white. I want them to be grey. I think that makes for a much more interesting reading experience, something that will stay with you a little bit longer.
The president is the leader of the nation. The president brings people together, does the deals, does the trades, knocks the heads together. The president leads.
