You know, in the WikiLeaks cables, the Chinese discovered that Kevin Rudd was urging the Americans to keep the military option open against them. This is hardly a friendly gesture.
I personally enjoy theatre, but preferably I do films so that I can reach up to maximum audience. If you want to give a serious message, it will reach out to maximum people through films. But through theatre, you can hardly reach out to about 3,000 audience at a time.
For me at 16 and 17 years old, I wasn’t even playing for the academy teams. I hardly played in the starting XI for the Under 19s.
The whole thought of a career with computers – given that hardly anybody even knew what they were – it wasn’t even a concept.
There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.
French schools follow a national curriculum that includes arduous surveys of French philosophy and literature. Frenchmen then spend the rest of their lives quoting Proust to one another, with hardly anyone else catching the references.
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
A television chat show is light entertainment, so it is trivial by its very nature. It is hardly the place to get people to reveal their innermost thoughts. Then it becomes sensationalism, and you lower yourself to the level of the popular newspapers.
Even around my family, I hardly spoke. I was very reserved.
You’re asking the wrong girl about fame. I’m hardly famous. I wouldn’t want to trade places with anyone else.
I try to keep a steady pace with my writing. I have found that super-productive days are usually followed by two and even three days when I can hardly write a word. I used to try for 1000 words a day; now I am high-fiving myself after 500.
There is a sort of jealousy which needs very little fire; it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp despondency of uneasy egoism.
It happens in this business – The Rolling Stones were ripped off, so were the Beatles. George Harrison hardly had anything left in the end.
To be honest, before I joined the industry, I knew very little about the fashion world, and I hardly knew any name brands. Probably because the price tags were a little too high, and home girl needed to work.
You can have a movie with hardly any cuts, or very few cuts, that is fascinating, you can’t take your eyes away from it… Look at some of the long takes in Citizen Kane.
I can’t run anymore. That’s the one thing I loved doing. And I can’t play golf hardly at all because of wrist and back pain.
I had been acting since I was seven years old, but I had a combination of things happen at about the same time. ‘Austin Powers’ came out on DVD, I got a series regular gig on ‘Buffy’ and ‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ came out.
Contrary to assumptions in the law, white America is hardly a monolith.
I think Stephen Sondheim is a – and I hardly ever use this word – but this is as close as it gets to a genius.
The third note in a chord is what depicts whether it’s major or minor. Rhythm and Blues hardly ever uses it because it means that the melody is free to move between major and minor because you’re not clashing with the third being depicted one way or the other.
The goals of literature are multifold, but creating nice, positive protagonists that you’d want to grab drinks with or invite home to mom can hardly be considered one of them.
It is hardly plausible to view a whole succession of logics as an evolutionary and functional program of innate wiring, particularly in light of the fact that the most mature logical structures are reached only by some adults.
My life is not nuts. I hardly ever watch television, I don’t go out very much, so I don’t really know what’s going on.
I hardly ever watch the news… I love reading newspapers, but I know they’re dying out.
I am very fortunate. I am a glass-half-full eternal optimist type to the point of being a moron. But I would never presume to know how hard it goes for others. How, for some people, just getting though the day is an incredible effort that can hardly be borne.
Sex is hardly ever just about sex.
Punjab history is hardly taught to students in schools.
It can hardly be denied that such a demand quite arbitrarily limits the facts which are to be admitted as possible causes of the events which occur in the real world.
In fact, I often accept criticism because I feel it helps me to get better and get stronger. And I hardly ever remember the compliments.
There is hardly a case in which the dispute was not caused by a woman.
Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not.
It is a very different feeling to be in a fat body that is moving a lot to one that hardly moves at all. It feels like love. As simple and as joyful as that.
I love music, of course, and many, many, many genres. There are hardly any songs I would say that I hate. There’s a couple, and I don’t even know exactly why I don’t like them.
When a man must force himself to be faithful in his love, this is hardly better than unfaithfulness.
Summertime, and the reading is easy… Well, maybe not easy, exactly, but July and August are hardly the months to start working your way through the works of Germanic philosophers. Save Hegel, Heidegger, and Husserl for the bleaker days of February.
There is hardly an activity that a person can think about that does not intrinsically involve energy, most of which is currently provided by fossil fuels.
An actor like me hardly ever sees a producer. My agent will say, how about Coogan for the part. The producer will say yes. So you never see the producer.
On the other hand, the artist has much to do in the realm of color construction, which is so little explored and so obscure, and hardly dates back any farther than to the beginning of Impressionism.
I don’t like to be too submissive in the way I dress. I like quite boyish things, so I hardly ever wear high heels.
If we divine a discrepancy between a man’s words and his character, the whole impression of him becomes broken and painful; he revolts the imagination by his lack of unity, and even the good in him is hardly accepted.
The best reason why Monarchy is a strong government is, that it is an intelligible government. The mass of mankind understand it, and they hardly anywhere in the world understand any other.
I like a little movie I did in the early nineties called ‘Mortal Thoughts.’ The part was hardly written, but I learned a lot making it. No one remembers it.
I’d hardly seen any movies when I was 19 and left drama school.
Two of the first plays I saw after I arrived in Britain were ‘King Lear’ in Liverpool, and ‘Antony and Cleopatra’ at Stratford. One was produced with hardly a backdrop and the other with gigantic scene changes. I was impressed by what connected the two: the words and their life beyond the stage.
Every president inherits a mixed bag when he comes to office, and Obama’s was hardly the worst.
I love Inter and I gave everything for them, killing myself every day for the Nerazzurri colours. I was the first to arrive for training and the last to leave. I never held back and sometimes I played when I could hardly stay on my feet.
Westminster’s hardly a billboard for people-centred politics. Given its makeup, the term ‘Commons’ is pretty ironic, too.
I can hardly think of any players that have really walked out of their own volition while there were still teams that really wanted them at a fair price.
The U.S. – the idea that the U.S. has introduced and imposed principles of international law, that’s hardly even a joke. The United States has even gone so far as to veto Security Council resolutions calling on all states to observe international law. That was in the 1980s under Reagan.
I’m not a big drinking person and hardly ever have alcohol. Perhaps it’s not sweet enough for my sweet tooth.
I have dedicated myself to development of the state and hardly get time to spend with my family.
At 99 and after a long stay in a nursing home, the death of legendary photographer Eve Arnold was hardly a surprise – though she may have been just a little annoyed to quit a few months short of 100.
I’m hardly physically right for the hero parts, now am I?
Most of us know nothing about constitutional law, so it’s hardly surprising that we take sides in the Obamacare debate the way we root for the Red Sox or the Yankees. Loyalty to the team is what matters.
Governments that try to shoot for a surplus hardly ever reach it.
Obamacare is a private mandate that will drive billions to the insurance industry, much like the auto insurance mandate. Hardly socialism. In fact, it was a Republican plan to begin with.
Gun violence has cost us too many political leaders, and hardly ever the worst ones.
I just want to preach so bad I can hardly stand it. I love what I do.
It’s hardly news that the Obama administration is intensely and, in many respects, unprecedentedly hostile toward the news-gathering process.
We think that in Mexico, online trading of shares and financial instruments is not going to be as important as it is in the U.S. On days that there is a banking holiday in the U.S., you hardly see any movement here on the stock exchange.
