You can’t tell any kind of a story without having some kind of a theme, something to say between the lines.
Renewables require the use of vastly more land, longer and less-utilized transmission lines, and large amounts of storage whether from lithium batteries, new dams, compressed air caverns.
I think every artist strives for a record that crosses all energy, lines, boundaries or languages or barriers.
I did my first movie, ‘The Mambo Kings,’ in America without speaking the language. I learned the lines phonetically. I had an interpreter actually just to understand directions from my director.
If you are known to do something well, people want to see you do that. But what you choose to do is up to you. After ‘Delhi Belly,’ I got some 40 scripts – some on the same lines as ‘Delhi Belly.’ So, I guess people only get stereotyped if they want to.
Every writer is a frustrated actor who recites his lines in the hidden auditorium of his skull.
The game in beauty is changing so much, if your product isn’t high tech or can’t make a unique performance claim – plump your lips, reduce your lines, look glossy, and stay on for 24 hours – you can’t go to market today. I’m not just talking about a $20 lipstick, but a $5 lipstick!
I love novels, but I’m not a novelist. I’m just a dramatist, which means I write lines for actors. That’s all I have ever wanted to do.
Robert De Niro taught me how to listen, and how to be part of the conversation. It’s not just about reading your lines and saying what’s in the script; you have to understand your character, along with the other characters so that you can always respond.
The car is not a rabbit or a deer that jumps around in sweeping lines, but it is a man-made work of technology in need of an appropriate roadway.
I’m a singer-songwriter. So I play guitar, and I sing. Along the lines of, I guess you could call it, alternative rock.
I’m so busy these days. I forget everything but my lines.
Write something every single day, even if it’s just three lines. And it doesn’t matter if it’s any good – just write something every day.
It’s more along the lines of raising a child: we train the system to a certain range of behaviors that we find most useful. But then we let it go, because we don’t want to have to be babysitting it the whole time.
Evolution is a light illuminating all facts, a curve that all lines must follow.
Memorising my lines is actually something I do fairly well. I look at it a few times and it is pretty much there. When your shooting on TV, they do it in such a way that it is pretty easy.
I have about a dozen cassettes lying about which I use in random order. Very often, I pick up a cassette to dictate a letter, and I find my voice coming back at me with the lines of plays three years old.
That’s one of the reasons I wanted to be an actor, to be like them. And there they were at my table, all talking about how nervous they were, about the lines, and so forth. No matter how big you get, you still have the same kinds of anxieties and so forth.
I want to show that the dividing lines between sanity and mental illness have been drawn in the wrong place.
Generally speaking, I’m a jeans, T-shirt and boots man but I do own an Armani suit, which gets a regular outing. It’s nothing fancy – just a classic, well-cut suit with clean lines and beautiful tailoring. It’s timeless and you can mix and match it with anything to dress up or dress down.
I think you could go back to any filmmaker or musician or artist, and look at what their input was in their formative years, and you could trace all the lines.
When I’m playing Big Momma, it’s so much work that all I want to do, when I’m finished, is go back home and just relax and study my lines and get ready for the next day.
Most of the scientific community believes that for the full potential of embryonic stem cell research to be reached, the number of cell lines readily available to scientists must increase.
I like acting with no lines because all of a sudden you’re able to express things without always worrying about the text. It’s great to have a great text, but there’s a lot of stuff you can’t say in words, and I think there’s something really nice about good physical moments.
When I came from horizontal vertical straight all old stuff then suddenly I go also again in curved lines. And there I submit to changes in the intensity of my hand leading a tool, you see.
I always know my lines.
I tend to be more arrogant on stage. Far more ignorant. I sometimes say what I think and sometimes say the opposite of what I think and the lines get blurred, but I can only hope that some kind of absolute power transcends.
The year after I graduated college I had a job in a library. When people underlined passages in the library books, or made notes in the margins, the books were sent to me. I erased the lines and the notes. Yes, that was my job.
I wouldn’t say I handle attention well. I’d say I stumble over pick-up lines poorly. I’m not good at any of that.
The single best thing we can do is expand competition. Let people purchase health insurance across state lines. If you want to expand access, what you want to do is increase choices and drive down cost.
Joe Wright called me and I also had some trepidation along those lines but he said no, it would work. He had a very clear and specific idea of what he wanted to do.
I’m from the suburbs and where I’m from didn’t necessarily have people like you see in ‘Suburgatory,’ but along those lines and I think people will laugh at themselves. And it’s lighthearted.
I hear these melodies. I hear horn lines and string lines. That’s what’s fun about recording with an orchestra.
‘Learn your lines.’ I want that on my gravestone.
I feel like we’re going to see a lot more movies that mix documentary style with fiction, more along the lines of ‘District 9.’
I have five, six, seven things I do before those lines are in my brain. I say them like I’m a robot; I sing them. I put a pencil in my mouth, and I say them. I cook. I play with a cushion and say them – so they really are inside of me.
Sometimes I feel people think I live on a commune but I don’t. We are all solar, though. There are no power lines. It’s mostly farmers, so everyone who has tractors uses bio-diesel.
I have a natural instinct to feel guilty and that I’ve let people down. I’ve apologized in more songs than ‘Back to the Shack.’ Going back to our second record, the closing lines are ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.’ It’s definitely part of my personality.
‘Phantom’ was for me an interesting technique of telling the story. You have one voice that it is in the present telling what is happening, and then there’s one voice from the past that’s also driving the story forward. And you know that the two story lines will meet eventually.
Right up until the late 18th century, when the first weighted lines were used to probe the ocean depths, many people believed the seas were bottomless – the watery equivalent of infinite outer space.
I love laugh lines. It means you’ve had a good life. The most beautiful women – Audrey Hepburn, Lauren Hutton, Ali MacGraw – all embraced the aging process.
If I needed to know about a security exploit, I preferred to get the information by accessing the companies’ security teams’ files, rather than poring over lines of code to find it on my own. It’s just more efficient.
When you’re working on a huge, elaborate set that took months to create, and you’re surrounded by hundreds of extras, you better remember your lines and know what you’re doing in a scene!
The main problem with writing in verse is, if your fourth line doesn’t come out right, you’ve got to throw four lines away and figure out a whole new way to attack the problem. So the mortality rate is terrific.
Modeling is great because I don’t have lines to memorize. But I find acting much more challenging – which is a good thing!
I’ll give you my worst nightmare. I’m dreaming that I’m onstage, the curtain goes up, and I have no idea what my lines are or what’s going on. I think I should know, I kind of know, I remember rehearsing… and the audience is there waiting.
Sci-fi fans are the most loyal fans on the planet – there’s no doubt about it. I’ve done a few of those conventions, and these people will know the lines!
Science and vision are not opposites or even at odds. They need each other. I sometimes hear other startup folks say something along the lines of: ‘If entrepreneurship was a science, then anyone could do it.’ I’d like to point out that even science is a science, and still very few people can do it, let alone do it well.
My father worked on assembly lines in Detroit while I was growing up. Every day, I watched him do what he needed to do to support the family. But he told me, ‘Life is short. Do what you want to do.’
I had a role in ‘DodgeBall,’ where I played a pirate who played dodge ball. I’d say 80 to 90 percent of my lines were ‘Garrr’ or ‘Arghh.’ And it was all about what the quality of your ‘Grr-arr’ was.
I tried to copy some of his mannerisms at first but it didn’t work. And then I just let the spirit of the character grow in me and it just took its rightful place. I started to speak the lines and it felt right.
It’s much nicer to be known as Mr. Nice Guy than Mr. Nasty Guy. But you’ve got to have lines – and when you hit the line, that’s the end of the story, nice guy or not.
