Although I have two good Anglepoise lights, I much prefer to work by daylight.
I extend my greetings and good wishes to all our citizens on the joyous occasion of Deepawali. The festival of lights, celebrated with gaiety and enthusiasm all over the country, signifies the victory of good over evil and is an appropriate occasion for us to resolve to follow the high ideals in life.
I don’t like traffic cameras. In fact, I hate them. But that doesn’t mean I can break the speed limit and run red lights to get to a New Orleans Saints game.
You can drive an SUV, but there’s a balance. If you do that, maybe use energy-efficient light bulbs at home or just be conscious of switching off lights. If you can afford to drive an SUV, maybe you can afford to make a donation to a wind farm or plant some trees. It’s all about balance.
We’re going to need oil and gas and coal for a long time if America wants to keep the lights on.
It’s much more fun to be the person who comes into the room and lights the match. I get to be the force, the girl who always says or does something completely outrageous, and leaves everyone thinking, ‘What was that?’
We say God and the imagination are one… How high that highest candle lights the dark.
The frustrating thing about ‘Friday Night Lights’ is I know a lot more people would respond to the show if they saw it.
I was early taught by sorrow to shed tears, and now when sudden joy lights up, or any unexpected sorrow strikes my heart, I find it difficult to repress the full and swelling tide of feeling.
Remove all the traffic lights, yellow lines, one-way systems and road markings, and let blissful anarchy prevail. I imagine it would produce a kind of harmony.
The real reason why people are going with digital is that it’s extraordinarily mobile, and it’s cheaper, and it has a great image, and you just can’t beat it at night. It’s pulling in variations of colors; it’s pulling in lights from 40 miles away – a candle would be seen.
I took classes and performed and did improv and sketch and wrote sketches and did lights and sound for other people’s shows just so I could be around the theater. That was about seven nights a week for seven years.
When you do an arena show, and the lights have to sync up to the sound, and the sound has to sync up to the music, and all of that – things are really mapped out, and you lose some of that spontaneity.
Lights became so hot they melted mascara on women’s faces in early television.
To most men experience is like the stern lights of a ship, which illuminate only the track it has passed.
One of my favorite albums that I’ve been listening to lately is ‘Midnight Machines’ by Lights.
I’m often in Venice in November and December, when it’s foggy and wintry, and the decorations in the shops and the lights in the churches make the place feel both Christmassy and melancholic.
I love Christmas, not just because of the presents but because of all the decorations and lights and the warmth of the season.
Christmas lights may be the loneliest thing for me, especially if you mix them up with reindeers and sleighs. I feel alone. I feel isolated. I feel I do not belong.
I knew early on that I was a nerd and that films were my refuge. Those first few minutes before the lights went off, and you’re alone in the theater waiting, were really pleasurable.
When I was on the ice, in the lights, with the music and the motion, there was a certain kind of flirtation that gave great energy and expressiveness to my performance.
I agree completely with my son James when he says ‘Internet is like electricity. The latter lights up everything, while the former lights up knowledge’.
Strip makeup lights just don’t give you a fighting chance no matter how good looking you are. Light sconces that flank the mirror illuminate your entire face evenly.
If you start off as a fearsome figure in pop culture, it’s almost axiomatic that at some point, years under the lights softens you into a cuddly family figure.
With film, there’s a consistency to it, but what I like about the TV shows that I’ve been fortunate to do, like ‘Friday Night Lights’ and ‘True Blood,’ is that it feels like you’re doing a film.
A good president needs a big comfort zone. He should be able to treat enemies as opportunities, appear authentic in joy and grief, stay cool under the hot lights.
I’ve really learned over the years how to control my adrenaline and let it all out when they shoot the gun versus letting the crowd and the lights and the camera get to me.
What I find fascinating about Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights we celebrate at this time of the year, is the way its story was transformed by time.
I was able to see the lights coming from China. If maybe I could go where the lights are I could find something to eat, that’s why I escaped.
Movies will always be movies, and you can never replace that feeling of when the lights go down and the image comes up.
That’s what the internet is: it’s like bombarding your eyeballs with these myriad blinking colour lights. It’s like trying to watch a movie on your phone in the middle of Times Square.
Big game, under the lights – these are the games you live for.
In a theater experience, the words and the feelings are the most important – the lights coming on and off are the only equipment.
I sort of was inspired by ‘Friday Night Lights,’ where it was a very different show, but similar in that they were both large ensemble dramas where you had many stories going on at once. I wanted to do a show that shared that element, and that’s really why I wanted to develop ‘Parenthood’ as a series.
Become a worry-slapper. Treat frets like mosquitoes. Do you procrastinate when a bloodsucking bug lights on your skin? ‘I’ll take care of it in a moment.’ Of course you don’t! You give the critter the slap it deserves. Be equally decisive with anxiety.
Let us not curse the darkness. Let us kindle little lights.
My best birth control now is just to leave the lights on.
I like indoor Christmas trees. And I like people who decorate their homes with lights and all that crap. I think it’s a healthy outlet for them. If they weren’t covering their lawns with twinkling lights, they’d be doing something that was really, really creepy.
My name is real, which probably explains why I never became a superstar… how would that look in lights?
I think history would say that medical research has, throughout many changes of parties, remained as one of the shining lights of bipartisan agreement, that people are concerned about health for themselves, for their families, for their constituents.
I played Chang here under the lights here. I think that was ’91. Another good match. I’ve played a lot more good matches under the lights than I played bad. You tend to remember some of the bad ones unfortunately.
I was always a big fan of Charlie Chaplin movies. I love ‘The Great Dictator’ and ‘City Lights.’
When you see people who are really good at game shows, the one common attribute is a cool head under pressure: an ability to perform as well in the studio, surrounded by lights and noise, as you do on your couch.
I’m adamant about recycling in my house, and I’m always making sure to turn off the lights.
There’s something about a podcast that feels like two people in a closet with the lights off.
Campaigns are so much more expensive than people think they are. Just to keep the lights on is several thousand dollars a month.
My mother is looking forward to it even more than me! I’ll be showing her the bright lights of New York.
I actually share her view and understand her frustration when any government attempts to ban secular symbols like Santa Claus or Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer or Christmas lights.
There’s something special about big midweek games at Easter Road, under the lights, that makes us have that little bit extra about us.
Love is so confusing – you tell a girl she looks great and what’s the first thing you do? Turn out the lights!
You come in off the street, through the doors of the theater. You sit down. The lights go down and the curtain goes up. And you’re in another world.
Speaking only for myself, the ideal finale to me is ‘Friday Night Lights,’ where you have loved and worshipped a show for all these years, you get to come back, celebrate the characters, finish up their journeys, and send everyone out with a feeling of, ‘My God, I’m so grateful that I got to know these people.’
Schools unable to keep their lights on and their doors open for the full working week is just the latest bleak instalment of a long-running show. The age of austerity returns for its ninth miserable year; always in the background, the common denominator in everything from the Brexit vote to knife crime.
Yeah, Kubrick’s a big influence. In something like ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ he is trying to use the practical light – I mean, at least he says that in his interviews, like they’re not using traditionally Hollywood lights. In ‘Elephant’ we basically used no lights; we never really adjusted.
Once I was walking with teammate Joy Fawcett in a hotel in Haiti. We were barefoot, and the lights went out to save electricity. Joy felt something crunch beneath her feet, and she felt the need to shine her flashlight on the floor. It was, I swear, a five-foot cockroach.
