I don’t have any particular loyalties to one technique or another. I’m just trying to use the best for the job.
There is no reason for me to show my collection in New York, because it’s not about craft and technique there.
That’s what you kind of see with Matthew Stafford. He makes some incredible plays, even with his arm in different positions. But the consistency’s not there that you need at the position to be one of the top quarterbacks in the league, and I think that’s where cleaning up the technique will help.
I don’t believe in condescending to children. I don’t change any writing technique.
It ain’t the technique, it ain’t the speed, it ain’t the power. It’s who wants it the most.
The name ‘Charmageddon’ actually comes from a social technique that I use. Which is, you know, literally obliterating people with charm so that you can get away with saying stuff that no one else could ever get away with, you know?
There are way more powerful climbers compared to me but I think I can really take advantage of all my power due to my technique.
Transcendental meditation is an ancient mental technique that allows any human being to dive within, transcend and experience the source of everything. It’s such a blessing for the human being because that eternal field is a field of unbounded intelligence, creativity, happiness, love, energy and peace.
Oil-painting is a developed technique. Why go backwards?
Every writer has compressed time and procedure, and used clarifying dialogue. That’s not a scandal: it’s a legitimate dramatic technique.
I don’t run after speed. Obviously, it will be better to have some more pace, but I am very well aware that I can’t bowl with the speed of 150 kmph. I am working hard on my technique and variations.
Affirmative action is the most important antidiscrimination technique ever instituted in the United States. It is the one tool that has had a demonstrable effect on discrimination… Affirmative action, by all statistical measures, has been the central ingredient to the creation of the black middle class.
With the sax, I learned technique well enough so that it feels like part of my body, and I just express myself. That’s where I want to get in golf.
Playing Limit Hold’em will certainly improve your No Limit game. There are subtleties to the Limit game that will enhance your technique at the No Limit tables. Mastering these uniquely aggressive Limit tactics will enable you to steal more pots when you sit down to play No Limit Hold’em.
I’m like, ‘Wow, I guess a lot of people didn’t have this type of upbringing’… that old world technique of, you know, nothing’s given to you, you’ve gotta work for everything you’ve done… It’s just different from what I’m seeing today.
My tennis is aggressive, though I wouldn’t say that it’s more physical than technical. I rely more on technique than physique, but being physical is always a help to me.
A really important technique for me is visualisation. Before a match I will sit down and think about all the different situations which might happen on the field – if the openers start well, if you end up going out earlier than expected, what the conditions might be like.
Maybe bring in sponge balls to learn the technique and gain that experience of actually challenging for a header.
I appreciate every batsman in the world for different reasons. If I want someone to tough it out in the middle, I’d pick Steve Waugh. If I want someone who I know is going to have the technique to survive, you want a player like Tendulkar.
The quality of instruction is very high at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music. It’s not about being a rock star. It’s about the fundamentals of music, theory and technique on a particular instrument, and playing in an ensemble or private setting.
It was Noel Coward whose technique I envied and tried to emulate. I collected all his records and writing.
My father loved the single-handed backhand, so to him, that was the main goal; we were always fascinated by that shot. He taught me all the technique and how to structure my game. I was really privileged to have a father like that.
When I am totally race fit, I don’t worry about breathing or technique – they take care of themselves.
I tell a student that the most important class you can take is technique. A great chef is first a great technician. ‘If you are a jeweler, or a surgeon or a cook, you have to know the trade in your hand. You have to learn the process. You learn it through endless repetition until it belongs to you.
Salesmanship, too, is an art; the perfection of its technique requires study and practice.
My technique is such that even if I turn my back on the throw, I understand what I have thrown and I start celebrating.
I played the 1980 UEFA Cup final for Borussia Monchengladbach against Eintracht Frankfurt, who had the legendary South Korean Cha Bum-kun as their forward. He was the face of Frankfurt then. He had pace, great technique, was a great dribbler, and scored goals. And most importantly, he was the ultimate team man.
I personally always find something really scary about watching little girls learning to manipulate their dads by baby talking. Then they grow up and use the same technique on their boyfriends or husbands. That scares me because it’s just so sick on so many levels.
It’s to surprise people about something that is extremely well known. I mean human reproduction, the human body, nature and so on. To surprise them with a new technique.
I started doing sculpture rather than painting. I was halfway through my degree, and I hadn’t really done any introduction courses in sculpture… I’d missed all the technical stuff. I didn’t really know how to weld or forge or carve or model. I’d sort of evaded all those technique classes, so I had no technique.
You know, comedy’s hard. With drama, you have a responsibility to the emotional truth, but with comedy, you have emotional truth and you have technique on top of it.
When you know that batting will be tough, that the ball might move around and your technique will be tested, you have to make sure that you don’t give the bowlers any more advantages.
Planning defines the particular place you want to be and how you intend to get there. It’s a responsibility rather than a technique.
There’s this weird game called ‘Blueberry Garden.’ For that game an artist recorded some piano music, but evidently he only had a really terrible microphone on top of the piano, and I really liked it and wanted to experiment with that. So, I made piano recording and really mangled it, and kept experimenting with the technique.
Meisner technique was different than anything I’d ever experienced. It’s a really great way to be accountable to your craft and to yourself, but also it takes that kind of focus and dedication to learn anything.
Everything has technique to it. So if there’s something you wanna try out, I think it’s always good to get a trainer or listen to people who know what they’re doing.
The actual technique, the process of painting flat color and simple geometric edges, all dates from my time here on Coenties Slip.
When push comes to shove, I’m a fighter, and I’m going to force someone to fight. It takes a lot of technique, it takes a lot of skill, but to take that, and make something of it, it’s a lot of heart and a lot of determination, and that’s something I have. That’s who I am.
When you have good runners, you always run fast. That’s the motivation for me. But I have room to improve in my technique and in the start.
Repetitiveness and discipline are the secrets of cake decorating. The art comes from the meticulous technique, the way it does for a dancer.
If you can keep a character fresh and alive for, let’s say, six months, working eight nights a week, then you can do anything. You have honed your technique and your skills to such a degree by that point that you are ready to take on all kinds of challenges.
I wouldn’t expect anybody to look for superawesome crisp technique out of me.
Divorced from ethics, leadership is reduced to management and politics to mere technique.
It takes a big voice a long time to develop properly; the bigger it is, the harder it is to develop the technique.
To get a feel for the right-hand picking technique, you have to let the pick ‘fall’ from string to string as if you were strumming a chord. It’s important that you don’t separate the pick strokes.
We work so hard on our craft, and once we get out of Duke Ellington, there are not going to be people looking for technique. I worry about that a lot.
I don’t think there’s a subject matter that can’t absorb 3-D; that can’t tolerate the addition of depth as a storytelling technique.
When we made ‘Toy Story,’ journalists were more interested in talking about the technique because it was so new and unknown, and we just wanted to talk about the story.
When I look back and think about how I played when I was 16, and moving on to my 20s, 30s, 40s and now 50s – to me, it seems like you gain more experience, you gain more technique, you get better.
As an athlete, you can train for so many years to be a 5K/10K runner. That’s who you are, and it’s hard to change that. Not using that technique – almost like a sprint – that’s when you have to loosen up and just save as much energy as you can.
When I fight, I don’t think about being tired, I don’t think about technique. I just try to break their will.
