Divorce is challenging. When your kids go through things, it’s tough. But it’s no different for any other woman. And I have great compassion for single moms. It’s lousy out there for them. I had the ability to work. I have always been the provider anyway, but there are a lot of women who can’t support themselves.
Our craft is all we have. So, we should keep it challenging and exciting. Else, there’s no actual growth.
The most challenging and exciting aspect is the outline and formation of the plot points. This is the stage where the notion of the story begins to take shape, and I can see glimpses of what is to come.
Fitting a walk into a busy life can be challenging, so I suggest walking rather driving to work or to run errands as often as you can – in other words, think of walking as alternative transportation.
In the case of climate change, the threat is long-term and diffuse and requires broad international action for the benefit of people decades in the future. And in politics, the urgent always trumps the important, and that is what makes it a very difficult and challenging issue.
Usually if I find a film that’s challenging, that I’m intrigued by, I want to watch it again knowing what the ending is. I found that with something like ‘The Godfather Part II.’ I think it took me three watches to fully experience it in the way it was intended.

One of the most challenging things for me to do was to walk away from ‘Black Panther.’
I used to review games on ‘The Totally Rad Show,’ and the best thing about that was I would finish games. Now, it’s become challenging for me to actually sit through an entire game. I tend to get excited about the next shiny thing.
That’s the kind of work I like to do: challenging work that has a message.
For a spinner growing up in England, it is challenging to become an off-spinner. The line and length needs to be altered on each of the four days of county cricket or five days of Test matches. The pitches in England don’t have a set pattern. It changes with each day, and accordingly, the length varies.
I’ve worn a lot of humdingers in my time, but as a model it’s my duty – my responsibility – to bring life to any garment. That can be challenging when it comes to high fashion, where the creations can be very eccentric, but I’ve gained a reputation for being the go-to girl who can pull it off.
Drag has always been very political and challenging of societal norms and other aspects of life.
Some hospitals screen all ICU patients and isolate those with MRSA, a process that can be challenging for both caregivers and patients.

I find that the work I do as an actor that’s most challenging commands an athleticism or, certainly, a physicality. And also a rigor, a physical rigor.
This can sound as something naive. But if we are together in this union, it’s because we choose to be one in many things. That’s what makes the European Union experience so challenging and also a model. Why did we do this choice? Because we see that we share a common interest and common values.

Learning a musical instrument is challenging, it demands fine motor skills and coordination. It develops children’s listening, thinking skills, imagination and perseverance. It brings out the very best in the children as they work collaboratively with their peers and teachers.
There will always be some corners which are challenging and more dangerous than others.
At the end of the day, I’m a human being and I just think that’s what it is. Challenging stereotypes by just being who I am.
Everything was a lot more challenging for me because of who my brother was. If I were in the film, someone would had said that I got the part because Eddie’s in the film. If I wrote a script, folks would say that I didn’t really write that: that Eddie did and I threw my name on it.
I try my best to squeeze in a simple exercise routine whenever I can – even though this is proving to be more challenging than I expect.

For me, it’s always been about continually challenging myself and continually figuring out how to go down the hill faster.
What I do like is hiking. And that’s what filmmaking is. It’s a hike. It’s challenging and exhausting, and you don’t know what the terrain is going to be or necessarily even which direction you’re going in… but it sure is beautiful.
A star is different, and an actor is different. But there is an actor in every star, and they, too, look for challenging roles to satisfy the actor in them.
Science is the first expression of punk, because it doesn’t advance without challenging authority. It doesn’t make progress without tearing down what was there before and building upon the structure.
I felt like challenging myself and challenging my readers with something darker and heavier. I don’t know how to explain it, because I’m not a political person. I have two political stories, and that’s it: ‘Human Diastrophism’ and ‘Poison River.’
I think R. Kelly’s range is so vast and broad that in order to stimulate himself creatively as an artist, he has to step so, so far outside the box, or else he feels like he’s not challenging himself.
I think any actor, if they had the choice, would opt for challenging roles that test their capabilities.
For me, it’s first about the characters. I look for a character who is intriguing and challenging and different from what I’ve done before.
The privilege I’ve had over 15 movies over a very long time has been to make movies that were ambitious or grown-up, complex, that had themes in them that were sometimes political, sometimes challenging, to make these movies on a scale.
Meru was the most challenging climb of my life. Not once but twice.
If you put me in a box, I’m a character actor. The thing that keeps popping up for me – it sounds really cliche – but I want to play something really physically challenging, something extremely demanding and strong.
There is no reason why challenging themes and engaging stories have to be mutually exclusive – in fact, each can fuel the other. As a filmmaker, I want to entertain people first and foremost. If out of that comes a greater awareness and understanding of a time or a circumstance, then the hope is that change can happen.
We were playing, not for the drunks, but for the musicians, because it was more intellectually challenging. We needed somewhere to put our energy to show that we were growing, and as we started to achieve this, people came to hear us musically.

I do a lot of media work, I’ve been investing and I’m involved with real estate. It’s totally different from what I had been doing but I find it challenging and fun. To be honest, I really don’t miss the track. I pretty well accomplished what I set out to do and it was time to move on.
It’s really fun and challenging to build things that have never been built before.
I think that the secular work environment in general is a place that’s challenging for Christians to thrive in without getting caught up in materialism or in competitiveness or in things that are really not important.
There’s a certain type of theatre that I haven’t got any time for at all – established, boring, same-old stuff without any reason or passion. There’s quite a lot of it about, and it motivates me to try to do something different, something risky, raw, ugly, and challenging.
I’m just so lucky – my office is a racetrack. That is something I’m very thankful for. It’s exciting, and it’s challenging, and there are a lot of emotions and nerves that come with it, but right there before the gates open, before that minute and a half or two minutes of the race, it just hits you.
In a perfect world, I could be doing some bigger films and balance that with some independent films because they seem to be the most challenging and unique.
