Jeb Bush is the foremost authority on education reform in the Republican Party, and I will look to reform the ballooning costs of our higher education system along the lines that he has advocated.
Being an actor is actually pretty easy if you can memorize lines.
I left my mark on ‘Dark Shadows.’ One day I was doing my lines perfectly from Act 3. Everyone else was doing Act 2.
Singing is all about certain inflection on certain lines. I used to listen to tapes of everybody from Michael Jackson and Prince to Earth, Wind and Fire. They would have different vocal inflections. If the line insinuated pain, they would cringe on some lines.
There are certainly moments in the story room where you watch the movie die on the table. You put A next to B, and suddenly none of it lines up anymore. We feel that all the time. It’s a terrible feeling.
Look at Allen Ginsberg. In poems like ‘Kaddish’ and ‘Howl,’ you can hear a cantor between the lines. It’s fully alive, and I think that’s what’s missing in modern poetry. It’s too dry and cerebral.
Nobody likes to be found out, not even one who has made ruthless confession a part of his profession. Any autobiographer, therefore, at least between the lines, spars with his reader and potential judge.
Reconciliation is what takes place, of course, at higher levels. President Karzai has been very clear about the red lines for reconciliation, accept the constitution, lay down their weapons, cut their ties with al Qaeda and essentially become productive or at least participating members of society in that regard.
Know, thou, that the lines that live are turned out of a furrowed brow.
‘No one sits Baby in a corner,’ one of the best lines in movie history.
The PML-N is working on the lines of ‘humanity first,’ and the government, as such, has taken every possible step to improve the living standard of less privileged associates of our society.
I’m sure I’ve said some pretty bad pick-up lines.
I think success is when the way you talk about who you want to be and what you want to do lines up with who you are and what you do. I guess, by that, I mean I think success is practicing what you preach.
It’s not just about filming, you go to awards and interviews too. I enjoy all of it, even learning my lines!
I don’t know how much more what I’ve done is any more important than what Ella Fitzgerald did. Ella crossed those lines, as did George Benson before me. There’ve been lots of people who brought a pop audience to jazz because they were able to link the two and give people easy access to the world of jazz.
Bush wasn’t elected, he was selected – selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines.
People want to know and understand each other across lines of race, class, gender, sexuality, ability.
People don’t analyze Britney Spears’ lyrics ’cause they’re so obvious, you know? And her image is so kind of blah and mainstream that who really wants to read between the lines, because it’s all so out there in front of you and boring and white bread.
I’m grateful for my lines of wisdom. Of course, there are days when I think: ‘Oh my gawd, I look a bit tired.’ But I can pull it together if I have to.
I really believe less is more. When you get older, too much makeup can be ageing, and when you’re young, you should enjoy the fact your skin is free from lines and wrinkles rather than overloading it with products.
Something about not waiting for the laugh of a laugh track allows you to take lines that otherwise might be seen as just direct jokes, and make them seem realistic.
The latitude and longitudinal lines of where you are born determine your opportunity in life, and it’s not equal. We may have been created equal, but we’re not born equal. It’s a lot to do with luck and you have to pass that on.
To be honest with you, girls didn’t really start paying attention to me until after ‘Clueless’ came out. Then, all of a sudden, it was different. And that’s the honest-to-goodness truth. I wasn’t very popular until that happened. I have zero pickup lines. My game, I guess you could say, is my work.
I was away from the front lines for a while this spring, living with other troops, and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them.
Books are such a great way to spend time with your children, open lines of communication with your children, and just build that strong foundation.
I remember being in high school, and you had to draw those lines and define yourself. I don’t think when I was in high school I would have been willing to admit that I liked the Shins. I was into TSOL and Black Flag. I probably would have listened to the Shins secretly in my bedroom.
Ironically, it is exactly because we are a city that embraces freedom, that welcomes everyone and encourages their dreams, that New York remains on the front lines in the war on terror.
I just think that pick-up lines in general are horrible. None of them work.
I learn my lines while on the golf course. I try to do two or three things at once. I have ideas for books all the time, I have ideas for paintings all the time, and I write them all down. I take my sketchpad and my iPad, which I design on, and I do sit down and do specific tasks at specific times.
Maryland first allowed early voting during the 2010 primary elections. In November 2012, more than 16 percent of registered voters in Maryland cast their ballots during the early voting period, and some polling places, particularly in our larger jurisdictions, witnessed early voting lines that were hours long.
I write scenes – often quite long scenes – mainly because I still get seduced into writing six lines where one and a half will do.
Hopefully, we can build bridges, but we also have to draw lines.
Even in the lives of fishes, sensation is seldom a matter of one thing or another. Senses overlap. The lines between them often tend to be blurred, and the best that we can manage, by way of description from the outside, is to say that the senses of fishes appear to dominate one at a time.
My first gig ever was writing looplines for a movie that had already been made. You know, writing lines over somebody’s back to explain something, to help make a connection, to add a joke, or to just add babble because the people are in frame and should be saying something.
The spark for ‘In Praise of Slowness’ came when I began reading to my children. Every parent knows that kids like their bedtime stories read at a gentle, meandering pace. But I used to be too fast to slow down with the Brothers Grimm. I would zoom through the classic fairy tales, skipping lines, paragraphs, whole pages.
What liberals mean by ‘goose-stepping’ or ‘ethnic cleansing’ is generally something along the lines of ‘eliminating taxpayer funding for the National Endowment for the Arts.’ But they can’t say that, or people would realize they’re crazy.
The play is on top of me all the time, and I am constantly thinking about it. Even when I leave the theatre, I’ll mumble the lines to myself or think about the way the character walks or holds himself.
I had done the child acting thing, which is pretty much learning your lines, standing there looking natural, and having fun.
Pickup lines are a major turn-off, they don’t work on me and I tune them out. It’s better to just be honest.
One of them is already having some menopausal symptoms. I’m working on that. I’m giving them all little lines under the eyes, trying to sort of make them age gracefully.
Body piercing and baggy clothes express identity among black youth, and not just beginning with hip-hop culture. Moreover, young black entrepreneurs like Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs and Russell Simmons have made millions from their clothing lines.
To be known as an actor is to be known for your role and lines. But the country knows me for the stance I have taken, for the villages I have adopted, the social work I do, the comfort zone I have left.
A writer is a palmist, reading the lines of the planet.
There’s no borders or lines you can’t cross anymore. Everything is getting blended with everything. That’s the dope thing about music now. Some people don’t like it, more of the older people. They want to, you know, go back to old-school New York hip-hop.
I think with modelling and acting these days, the lines are blurred. Everyone can do all sorts of things, so why do just one?
We reach a secondary road and – here comes the bonus – we pass the Temple of Neptune and Cerene, at Paestum, both looking beautiful in the sunlight. Strung from the Doric columns are lines of soldiers’ washing. At last they had been put to practical use. If only the ancient Greeks had known.
Every school should have well-rehearsed emergency response protocols covering a variety of possible scenarios, from fire to armed intruders. Schools should have good lines of communications with local emergency response officials and practice those relationships in drills and special exercises.
Learning lines is my biggest challenge.
I don’t think anyone ever sets out to make a crappy movie, but there are a lot of forces working against those people who are trying to make something decent. There are a lot of fine lines to walk and small battles to fight.
How a piece ends is very important to me. It’s the last chance to leave an impression with the reader, the last shot at ‘nailing’ it. I love to write ending lines; usually, I know them first and write toward them, but if I knew how they came to me, I wouldn’t tell.
