Films have gotten leaner and leaner, cutting out all variations from the story line.
White America is tortured by black America’s failure to thrive, and all that guilt and anxiety has only gotten worse as a substantial quota of white America loses its own footing in the middle class and plunges into the rough country of joblessness, hopelessness, and government dependency.
We’ve gotten through a lot of tough times, and we’re going to keep working to make them better. I wish the record was better.
I used to say that the Constitution is not a living document. It’s dead, dead, dead. But I’ve gotten better. I no longer say that. The truth is that the Constitution is not one that morphs. It’s an enduring Constitution, not a changing Constitution. That is what I’ve meant when I’ve said that the Constitution is dead.
I have been writing since 11th grade, and have a few features that have almost gotten off the ground. I really want one of my features to come to life.
I’ve finally gotten to a place where I can say, ‘You know what? You didn’t think I could do it, people.’ But I did it.
I started rooting – you know, sticking up joints – with some older guys. By now I had gotten a taste of what the racket world really was – the glamour, the way they dressed, the way they always had a pocketful of money.
It’s something that jazz has gotten away from, and it’s unfortunate. Players aren’t physical anymore.
There are tons of great names who have gotten fourth at their first Olympics, and they just kept with it for the next quad. I’m among good company.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten more liberal, and my father is increasingly conservative. It’s so shocking to me because I always thought we had the same politics. The day I realized we voted for different presidents, I practically fell out of my chair.
I think being a woman and writing frankly about violence has gotten me some attention, and as someone who wants people to read my books, I can’t complain about that attention, but it does puzzle me that this is something reviewers focus on.
I feel like I have gotten to know Chicago pretty well, and every time I come here I have a really good response.
I think we all realize that anyone can – and has – gotten AIDS. So there’s obviously still a lot to be done.
What I want to bring back to superheroes with this project is a sense of play. Things have gotten so dreary. The heroes have gotten so ugly that even their muscles have muscles.
I would say that I have become more radical as I have gotten older. I started out very radical when I was young, like most people, but I became less actively politically engaged in the middle of my life.
There’s a lot of information that has been in peoples’ heads and hasn’t gotten onto the Internet. Even as the Web has gotten really big, there’s just been this gap. So we made Quora as a general place for people to share knowledge of all kinds.
When I’m on the couch, I usually have the TV on and my MacBook Air nearby. And sometimes, when my ADD is really kicking in, I have my iPad too. And my iPhone. And a magazine that I haven’t gotten to. And a book under the pillow to my left.
If we are to take for the criterion of truth the majority of suffrages, they ought to be gotten from those philosophic and patriotic citizens who cultivate their reason.
I think maybe we were just a little bit overdone. It was saturated. People may have gotten tired of us. We were everywhere, all the time.
To be honest, whatever troubles I’ve had, I’ve also gotten the opportunities to do things.
I have not changed much. I haven’t gotten a big ego or anything.
Just in terms of the opportunity I’ve gotten is amazing. I consider myself super, super, super lucky.
I was very aware of ‘League of Legends’ because my brother plays it a lot, but I hadn’t gotten the chance to play it before.
I want to be remembered for the work that I’ve done, rather than the car accidents that I’ve gotten into, the men that I’ve not dated – or the man that I have.
Work is like a drug. I’m jonesing for more. It’s gotten more addictive than I had realized. I get anxious when I have nothing to do now.
I certainly have gotten caught up in the music business at various times in my life, mostly because you want to get along with whatever record company you’re dealing with. I don’t want to be flaky. I don’t want to be some temperamental, hard-to-work-with musician.
I like making songs up. Whether or not they’re great songs or good songs, whatever. It’s something I’ve always done, and I definitely feel like I’ve gotten better at it.
I’m really not interested in acting as a facade, I’m interested in it as an emotional expression and as a transcendent experience for an individual. I find that a lot of people, a lot of young actors, haven’t gotten to the point where they’re comfortable being stripped down. They’re still interested in ornate jackets.
I’ve gotten resistance for my entire career.
Unfortunately, I’ve gotten so conditioned, it’s hard to sleep past 4 a.m.
I haven’t gotten jobs because I’m famous or I have a big Twitter feed – it’s primarily directors. People employ me because I’m right for the part. But then, everybody needs a bit of luck, being in the right place at the right time. You just gotta be in that place for that opportunity to come by.
The only time I think I’ve ever gotten sick of playing Guns and Roses songs really was during – after having played them in Guns and Roses, and then in Snakepit, and then playing ‘It’s So Easy’ and ‘Brownstone’ in Velvet Revolver.
As the society has gotten larger and more complex, individuals have lost their ability to influence any of the institutions that affect their lives.
‘Blacks were too scared to do anything, but they came out to greet James Meredith’: That would have been the story in the evening news if I hadn’t gotten myself shot. I got shot, and that allowed the movement protest thing to take over then and do their thing.
I never thought getting older would be so great. But when it comes to depression, I have experienced less the older I’ve gotten.
I’d like to be remembered for being a fairly pleasant person and for having gotten along for the most part with a lot of the people I’ve worked with. And for having a wonderful life and for having enjoyed practically every minute of it… I think I’m one of the luckiest people in the world.
I’m not saying it isn’t frustrating that my films haven’t gotten a bigger release, but I’m really happy with them and if you just keep cranking and eventually, if you have a certain sensibility, some of your movies will hit and some just won’t.
People are very nice to me, and they’ve been nice as my career has gotten better and I’ve gotten more jobs. But the reality is that if I decided tomorrow that I didn’t want to act anymore, it’s not like people are going to be like, ‘Please, come back!’
If you’re watching a comedian on television and he’s making a political point, I would say he’s gotten too serious.
I’m still a promising actor. It’s better to be climbing even if you have a lot of falls than to be descending. Maybe that’s kept me young. I haven’t gotten to any peak yet.
I’ve found all of my apartments on Craigslist. I’ve got good Craigslist luck. I just sit on my couch and really focus on it, and I’ve gotten really lucky that way.
I’m a little bit damaged in about 15 different ways, and it’s been nice that no particular damaged area has become a major issue. I’m a more than moderately healthy 65-year-old male who has gotten away with a lot of stuff.
I stuck with that size because I could bend the strings so well, and somewhere along the line I must have gotten it into my mind that I had small hands, so I was thinking I’d never be able to play a full-scale guitar, but I also felt like I was cheating or cutting corners.
Folks can’t carry around money in their pocket. They’ve got to go to an ATM machine, and they’ve got to pay a few dollars to get their own dollars out of the machine. Who ever thought you’d pay cash to get cash? That’s where we’ve gotten to.
I’ve loved making movies. I feel like I’ve been so lucky because I’ve gotten to be in movies that are some of my favorites, regardless of my being in them – like ‘Heathers.’
I like for there to be a moral, for the character to have gotten something out of the experience.
I’ve gotten books published. I’ve met famous people that are very nice. I look back and I say, ‘Wow. Thank you, God, for giving me this gift. And thank you for helping me to keep going.’
Well, I’ve maybe gotten 200 requests for interviews about Marilyn, and I just decided I’m gonna do my own.
When they say you’re the best, I always remember that the majority of the audience probably thinks someone else should have gotten the award.
It would have been an interesting run if we hadn’t gotten along! It was good casting, I suppose.
I’ve always gotten along well with Texans. You’ve got to.
There are some very real areas where working together is critical, whether it’s talking about public policy issues, enforcement, or how to work together to facilitate new business opportunities. The RIAA has gotten much more involved in that.
I believe that I have gotten this far because of my mom’s support.
At age 12, I was put on tranquilizers when I should have gotten help. There was nothing major and awful, I just didn’t feel my family was supportive and emotionally generous.
