When someone feels truly in love, they feel certain. That means they lose any commitment-phobia and will want to find ways to bring you closer together.
He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.
I discovered you can get closer to a character’s thoughts and feelings in a book than in a film.
The one term I don’t like to be called is a ‘vulture.’ Because to me, a vulture is a kind of asset-stripper that eats dead flesh off the bones of a dead creature. Our bird should be the phoenix, the bird that reinvents itself, recreates itself from its ashes. And that’s much closer to what it is that we really do.
I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath.
We’re in a post-conceptual era where it’s really the artist’s idea and vision that are prized rather than the ability to master the crafts that support the work. Today, our understanding of an artist is closer to a philosopher than to a craftsman.
If the people of New Zealand want to be part of our world, I believe they should hop off their islands, and push ’em closer.
I’ve always believed you can get closer to the truth by pretending not to speak it.
My imagination is closer to a child’s imagination than to a grown-up’s.
‘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.
We became closer and closer at the end of Freddie’s life, and I think we were co-dependent in many ways. We stuck together for an awfully long time, and I think we all felt we needed one another.
The music is in the lead here, and a large part of this, I have no idea what I’m doing. I feel a closer bond with the craft of songwriting, stronger than I ever have.
We were working under very harsh conditions on ‘Zero Kelvin.’ We were up there in the Arctic, closer to the North Pole than to a hospital. Sometimes you had to sleep in small Arctic tents with guns to protect yourself from polar bears and stuff.
Formal education must change. It needs to be brought into closer alignment with the world as it actually is, into closer harmony with the way human beings actually learn and thrive.
We have responsibility for ONC and the HITECH act. We’ve spent tens of billions on non-interoperable products. It may be time for us to look closer at the activities of vendors in the space, given the possibility that fraud is being perpetrated on the American people.
When I ask people how much time they spend not doing their job – time spent on ‘work-about-work’ or phone calls or e-mails – people regularly tell me 60, or even 90 percent. So if Asana could take that down closer to zero, we could potentially double the effectiveness of humanity.
I guess hip-hop has been closer to the pulse of the streets than any music we’ve had in a long time. It’s sociology as well as music, which is in keeping with the tradition of black music in America.
Because the hash marks are narrower in the pros, the ball’s always closer to the middle of the field. So if you’re a defensive back, you can wait a lot longer before committing to a certain part of the field.
I did find it particularly difficult to do Broadway. It was not my favourite way to perform. When I do theatre, I like it to be smaller. I like the audience to be closer; I like it to be less presentational.
I was baptized alongside my mother when I was 8 years old. Since then, I have tried to walk a Christian life. And now that I’m getting older, I realized that I’m walking even closer with my God.
Love is the opener as well as closer of eyes.
There is no life to be found in violence. Every act of violence brings us closer to death. Whether it’s the mundane violence we do to our bodies by overeating toxic food or drink or the extreme violence of child abuse, domestic warfare, life-threatening poverty, addiction, or state terrorism.
My stories are sometimes closer to poems or meditations, but often there is at least a little narrative in them.
It was a scene I was really looking forward to, and one that I embraced, and when we were filming it, George got closer and closer and closer with that camera – he was practically up my nose for the final shot. So I knew it was a moment that I had to do my best to get right.
I believe ‘3’ was ahead of its time. It was closer to my comfort zone and, like most debut filmmakers, I drew extensively from my own life.
I do have a concern about projecting. I’ve never projected or had any reason to project before. In fact, the camera has only gotten closer to me going from TV to film.
We are closer to the ants than to the butterflies. Very few people can endure much leisure.
Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.
Sometimes it was difficult to make friends and be social in school because I was always practicing while other kids were getting together and doing things. But it just made me closer to my family, and I realized that they would always be there no matter what.
My English is closer to the literary English, and I’m not very familiar with jokes in English or with, you know, with small talk in English.
I want to play real people. Real women. I want to be where the fun is – closer to humanity.
As you talk to Heavenly Father and pour out your heart to Him, you will draw closer to Him. Then pause, stop, and listen to the feelings of your heart. Seek to understand the promptings of the Spirit. As you pray sincerely, you will come to feel Heavenly Father’s great love for you.
Governor Palin leans far closer to ‘spokesperson’ than representative of the people.
The way I think about things or hear things in my head is actually much closer to acoustic instruments. I don’t have weird synthesized fantasy of music in my head.
When it comes time to where the new album gets closer, I start singing the song a cappella; I’ll preview it on my Snapchat and get creative with it – just kind of bringing everybody into more than just listening to the record on album.
I did say that I wanted to be a young mom, just because my mom was a young mom. It is better because I can be closer to my kids and stuff.
Control is the wrong word. The practice is very much about sharing, and, in any creative practice, some individuals, whether partners or directors, are much closer to certain projects than I could ever be.
You hear about quality time a lot but I really think that quantity time with a person is really what strengthens a relationship. That’s when you really get to know somebody. You get to know their strengths and their weaknesses and that brings you closer. That’s what ‘Time Is Love’ is all about.
As time goes on we get closer to that American Dream of there being a pie cut up and shared. Usually greed and selfishness prevent that and there is always one bad apple in every barrel.
Does having a wife and kids change your act? Yes, but only in the best way. It gives you weight and authority. It also makes you closer to the audience because the audience is married and has kids.
Singing in Spanish is much more honest, much closer to my roots. For me, Spanish is essential. I still think in Spanish, dream in Spanish. It’s the melodies and arrangements that transmit meaning.
I’ve felt since I was a kid this desperate longing to be closer to – I don’t know what. Just to something bigger, to be in conversation with the mystery of everything.
I had to get used to wearing a mask and wearing a prosthetic and performing with those things while singing and expressing myself through stylized movement, while keeping it as human as possible so the audience could be closer to the horror of the Phantom.
One thing I learned is that the park by the river in a recent story, ‘Getting Closer,’ is the same park by the river that appears for a moment near the end of ‘The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad,’ a story first published 23 years earlier. This echo at first irritated me, then pleased me deeply.
A celebrated people lose dignity upon a closer view.
Freddie Gray was a story I followed closer than others, for whatever reason, in this larger narrative of police brutality.
Unlike many other places, Hilo is more fascinating on closer acquaintance – so fascinating that it is hard to write about it in plain prose.
My band and I are even closer. They’ve grown with me over four years, so we’re closer and closer and closer.
Sometimes it seems as if there are more solutions than problems. On closer scrutiny, it turns out that many of today’s problems are a result of yesterday’s solutions.
We are all inundated with images that present a limited scope of what is considered beautiful. For American women, the closer she is to whiteness/paleness, cisness, thinness, and femininity, the more she is considered beautiful.
I have a very pessimistic view that every win takes you closer to a loss because no-one in the world can keep on winning forever.
It will be very exciting to watch how the industry responds to filmmakers getting closer and closer to their audiences – and they must, as for too long it has been quite impossible for filmmakers to actually get anywhere near to revenues arising from their work. Too many middlemen!
In the past, we showed that we could play football, but Vladimir Petkovic has worked with us on the psychological side of things in particular. I think that’s where we’ve made the most progress. He’s brought us closer together as a team.
