There’s a tendency to fall into certain habits, but if you tell yourself not to do that and if you don’t stay there too long – I think if you start staying for too long, you tend to fall into certain bad habits, and I tried not to do that.
I never thought about making music because it has to be a hit. There are so many better singers out there who are better trained in music, but I am probably the chosen one… I have not discovered any formula for staying relevant.
I’m not against technology, but all tools should be used to their best advantage. We should be spending our time on things that have staying power, instead of on the latest thought of the latest blogger – and then moving on quickly to the next blogger.
The hardest part about making movies is staying the exact same weight every day and looking the same.
Investors are always biased to invest in things they themselves understand. So venture capitalists like Uber because they like driving in black town cars. They don’t like Airbnb because they like staying in five-star hotels, not sleeping on people’s couches.
In business, staying focused requires that you turn most opportunities down.
With almost every book I’ve written, my secret target audience is the young therapist. In this way, I am staying in my professorial role; I’m writing teaching stories and teaching novels.
I never regret or sit back and think that I shouldn’t have said something. There are a lot of people who tell me that you shouldn’t say this or that or should keep quiet, and I really think that I can either be true to my conscience or can live a fake life by staying quiet.
For me, it’s just staying myself, trusting the process, trusting the game, just going through my reads at the end of the day.
I love Malaika Arora, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Jennifer Lopez and I love the way they carry themselves. I love their passion for staying fit.
I sympathize with the zombies and am not even sure they are villains. To me they are this earth-changing thing. God or the devil changed the rules, and dead people are not staying dead.
When I started writing songs for Temple of the Dog, I went to my room with my acoustic guitar, and I was happy staying in that mode. It was more chordal based and more lyric driven. I enjoyed not making riff-based songs built around a guitar idea.
I go through my tweets while writing and be like, ‘Oh, this has staying power and is still relevant.’
I’d like to enter in and out of that big budget world, rather than staying in it. It’s not the case that the bigger the film, the better it is.
We had a simple 8-track studio set up in the record store where I worked. And just staying after work and experimenting, realizing what was possible with recording – that’s why my project was called The Microphones at first. Because it wasn’t even songs really. It was just sound.
Dad has always been – and still is – a great influence on me. He has always stood up for spirit, staying true to his beliefs… and I like to do the same with regard to my own true beliefs, regardless of potential criticism or mockery.
Me, I’d prefer to have a good reputation rather than getting press for being scandalous, getting drunk in public, staying out late and so on.
No, I love it at Chelsea. I’ve been here since I was 14, and I’m 28 now. All my friends are here, so I’m going to stay for ever unless Chelsea tell me I’ve got to go, which maybe one day they will, but for now I’m definitely staying.
Staying focused is hard work and staying married is even harder.
Pomegranate juice has staying power. It’s not a fad. Once people have tasted POM Wonderful, they say they are addicted – and it’s a good addiction to have.
Am I being typecast as a horrible person? I don’t know. I don’t think so. But if it happens, I’d rather get to play that, because there’s nothing fun about being sweet. Sweet can be so boring, so I’d be happy staying away from that.
As a film composer I deal with short bursts of musical ideas that are defined to a large extent by what’s happening on the screen, by not only narrative and action, but staying out of the way of dialogue, sound effects.
If I walk into the editing room, it’s six hours lost. I’m massaging frames. I’m, like, ‘Oh, take six frames off that shot. Hit the music cue right there.’ I will drive everybody crazy if left to my own devices in that room. So I try to do everything I can by staying out of the way.
We need to make sure we are constantly staying ahead, thinking about what is coming.
I’ve visited Holland plenty of times and always liked staying in the Hilton in Amsterdam.
The great thing about having a pool in L.A. is that I can use it year-round. And since I’ve always been an athlete, staying fit is very important.
As an athlete you have to think about yourself a lot. Think about your body, think about your mind, staying healthy, staying strong, your goals. So it’s always about me, me, me, me.
There’s this idea that when you make a certain amount of money that you should be staying at four-star hotels and taking town cars. And believe me, I will take a town car every day, but there are some things where it’s like, ‘Is this necessary? Is this important?’
I can’t do any more ‘Peep Show’ because of my loyalties in Los Angeles to ‘Two And A Half Men,’ so I’m staying put there for the moment. I’m loving life is L.A. at the moment – I’m out there for work, as that is where the jobs are.
I like staying in. I’m that kind of guy.
Staying married may have long-term benefits. You can elicit much more sympathy from friends over a bad marriage than you ever can from a good divorce.
I have already applied to the Home Ministry for security. So far, I have got nothing. For security, I am staying underground.
The biggest risk to Quebec isn’t sovereignty. It is staying in Canada.
I hate when people think you’re broken because your parents are divorced. And I really reject the idea of staying together for the kids. If they’re growing up in a house that’s not healthy, it’s better to know that’s not the model of what marriage should be.
Especially the people staying No. 1, I bet they have a lot of pressure. They have to always fight, not even on the court, but off the court, too.
Even if you have a big tune, live crowds can get sick of it. It’s not just about the song but also the staying power and if people have connected with it in a certain way. I know that the tracks I put more emotion and depth into are the ones that have the staying power in clubs.
If I have a yoga mat or a pair of jogging shoes, I can stay fit anywhere. The important thing is staying motivated. Because if you’re not driven to keep fit, no amount of time or equipment will help.
I first fell in love with comedy when I’d visit my granny as a kid. Trips to her house meant staying up late drinking Coca-Cola and watching ‘Saturday Night Live’.
It’s about finding where you’re comfortable with yourself and staying true to yourself no matter the circumstances.
I would like Kansas be a place that future generations feel comfortable staying here.
League of Legends’ is banned in my house and rightly so. It is just awful. In the past, I’ve been staying up and playing it. Then all of a sudden, it is 6 A.M., the birds are tweeting and I’m thinking: ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to get up in a couple of hours to take my son Alexander to school. Then I’ve got to practise.’
It must surprise people that I’m such a rap fan, but it’s true. Sometimes, just staying in, putting on some rap music, and letting loose is all I need to have a good time.
Stealing bases was put to me almost as a prerequisite for staying in the game. They didn’t give me a handbook on how to do it; they said do it. Under those conditions you go out and develop your own handbook.
I just want to show other young kids growing up that it is not about just staying in England, getting loans. Explore.
For us, it’s a matter of just staying alive and getting the best deal we can now. Eventually, this will all straighten out. It may be two generations away or 10 generations away, but time is irrelevant in that sense. As long as we, as a people, stay alive, we will survive.
Eating well and staying active is the necessary base to a clear complexion and a healthy body and mind.
People are always asking me if I work out, but to be honest, I’m doing very little at the moment. The only time I really go to the gym is if I’m staying in a hotel.
Things that I grew up with stay with me. You start a certain way, and then you spend your whole life trying to find a certain simplicity that you had. It’s less about staying in childhood than keeping a certain spirit of seeing things in a different way.
People feel vulnerable when they travel. Nobody wants to be taken advantage of or talked into something they don’t want. Staying at Motel 6 makes you feel smarter. In fact, I think it actually means you are smarter, but I have no hard data to support that.
I don’t chase the perfect figure. I’d rather focus on staying and eating healthy. A combination of running, swimming, yoga and circuit training works brilliantly for my body.
As far as vanity and wrinkles and things like that, that’s a part of life I don’t worry about. I put on creams, you know, but don’t go mad, and I don’t have any kind of treatments. I just live a healthy lifestyle. And staying happy, not getting negative and angry, I think that helps, looking at the positive of everything.
