And doing a film in that period, and having to really celebrate what they wore back then, how they sat and how they spoke. You know, what the etiquette was back then for a lady. All of those things are like putting on a wig and transforming yourself, which I love.
The bottom line is that any business should be a meritocracy. The best and brightest. Period.
I should point out, however, that at first some difficulty was experienced in observing the phenomena predicted by the theory, owing to the extreme smallness of the variations in the period of oscillation.
I think there’s a lot projected on beautiful women, period. At least, maybe this is just my fear, but I do sometimes feel dismissed before I’ve even been allowed to participate. I have moments of feeling really wounded. But I am pretty optimistic, and I do enjoy a lot of my life.
Psychology more than any other science has had its pseudo-scientific no less than its scientific period.
No country in the history of the world has ever contributed more to humankind and accomplished more for its people in so brief a period of time as Israel has done since its relatively recent rebirth in 1948.
You do become very close like a family but because you see each other for such an intense period of time on the set everyday. You really don’t end up socializing that much.

As we change our systems of voting, there will always be an adjustment period and any adjustments require robust educational campaigns.
Filmmaking is such a collaborative piece of art that you can’t look to one person – you couldn’t look to me, you couldn’t say, ‘Because Vin’s in it, it’s this or that…’ It’s really all of us coming together for that period of time to try and make magic.
Somewhere in that 20-year period, I would assume that there will be some basically new approach that will begin to cut into it, but it’s got a long time.
George Clooney’s ‘Ides of March’ could be the most under-appreciated movie of the year. In 20 years they’re gonna go back and say, ‘Oh, that was American politics in that time period.’ I follow politics, I love it, and that movie is so authentic.
In this eventful period the colony of New South Wales is already far advanced.
I was interested in what was really going on in Salem at that time, and I resolved to investigate this seemingly unorthodox treatment of the people and the period.
I’m mixed race, and it’s often hard for me to fit into period pieces.
Over a long period of time, living as if you were someone else is no fun.
Whatever I own is temporary, since we’re only here for a short period of time. It’s what we do and produce, it’s our actions that will last forever. That’s real value.
I’m very proud of my work at Watford in what has been a short period.
I went through a period where I was really tired of seeing and reading about myself.
I looked back on the roaring Twenties – with its jazz, ‘Great Gatsby,’ and the pre-Code films – as a party I had somehow managed to miss. After World War Two, I expected something similar, a return to the period after the first war, but when the skirt lengths went down instead of up, I knew we were in big trouble.
I’ve been a fan of ‘High Maintenance’ since it was on Vimeo. My husband and I were obsessed with it. It’s one of the best things ever made, period. It’s a completely unique perspective.
To protect our freedoms, it seems we’re going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time.
The critical period of matrimony is breakfast-time.
All I knew growing up was that my father was married to and loved my momma, period. He worked hard, made some money, and put it on the dresser. She spent it on the family, and he went out and earned some more. He taught me the most about love.
Japan’s experience suggests the importance of assessing the sustainability of price stability over a fairly long period, which many central banks have emphasized in recent years.
I dyed my hair red when I was ten and when I was 11 – in my goth period – I dyed it black and I was really into witchcraft. I made mini shrines in my bedroom with candles and tried to cast spells to make the boy in the next class fall in love with me. I don’t think he did.
There are the saints who were raptured at the beginning of the tribulation period – those are the Christians.
For me, my favourite music was things like The Bee Gees, ABBA and ‘The White Album.’ The 70s is the period that I love more than anything.
You will find hardly any improvising on camera anywhere in my films. It’s very structured, but it’s all worked out from elaborate improvisations over a long period, as you know.
I went through a long period of time in that marriage when I didn’t believe anything was my fault. I had to face what my part was, and only because of that difficult work was I able to trust a man again.
So I ask the nuclear powers to abandon the out-of-date thinking of the Cold War period and take a fresh look. Above all, I appeal to them to bear in mind the long-term threat that nuclear weapons pose to humankind and to begin action towards their elimination.
Understanding that yes, we are committing more resources than we thought we might be in protecting our homeland and prosecuting a war and so it’s understandable that we would be going through a period of deficits.
A period of time is as much an organising principle for a work of fiction as a sense of place. You can do geography, as Faulkner did, or you can dwell on a particular period. It provides the same framework.
I feel I am blessed. So many actresses went without doing a period film in their career, and I got a chance to do one in my first film.
I had some big ups and downs when I was in my 20s and the one thing I learned was, no matter how low it gets, something good will come along – something always comes out of that dark period.
Over the last couple of years, I’ve really worked toward balancing my life out more, having a little bit more time with friends, family and my boyfriend. There was a period of time when they were way down the list. It was all about music and touring and if everything fell by the wayside, so be it.
In one sentence, I’d describe myself as indescribable. But, I wouldn’t end it with a period. I’d end it with three dots.
One of the reasons I do like ‘Cult’ is that it plays along the same vibe as the movie ‘Seven,’ which I absolutely love. There was a period of cinema in the mid-’90s that I was a huge fan of, with ‘Heat’ and ‘Seven’ and the Tarantino era. If I’ve ever been fanatical, it was about those films, back in the day.
I find more interesting roles for women in period pieces. I do personally like watching period films; I think you can really get lost in the fantasy of them.
It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress… period.
Tolstoy may not be showing that much of Russia at that time even. It’s hard to tell. You tend to associate the quality of the period with what’s lasted – what’s still good. And that quality becomes the whole period.
Even though I was concentrating on that two-week period from September 11th to September 20th, I was seeing the policy for real, happening, that we were talking about in the film.
The moguls are driven by their respective desires for profit – period.
I haven’t seen Clones, which has been during this period when I haven’t seen much of anything, but I did see Phantom Menace, and see my feelings about it – see, first of all, I think that when you make a lot of movies, your attitude about the movies changes.
I left the White House in 2007. You know, I knew when I went there that it would be for a limited period of time. I was grateful that the average tenure of a white house senior aide is 18 to 20 months. I was there for nearly seven years.
I would love to do a serious period drama. Oh, absolutely. I mean, you’ll find most comedians want to do more serious stuff, most musicians want to be comedians, and most serious actors want to be musicians.
I would like to see the technology used to explore more period horror genre works, for example, E. A. Poe.
Oftentimes during the period in which conventions really did business, you had situations where the delegates were divided and you would have ballot after ballot before there was a final nominee.
Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything, or creating anything. Period. If you ain’t desperate at some point, you ain’t interesting.
If you’re successful in what you do over a period of time, you’ll start approaching records, but that’s not what you’re playing for. You’re playing to challenge and be challenged.
But it is possible that, in the days ahead, these years we have lived through may eventually be thought of simply as a period of disturbance and regression.
On our show, I must tell you, it was… the 60s was a period of time when everything was free love. People made love to each other. It was a very open life, you know?
Melody is the single most important thing to any song, period. I don’t care what anybody says, it trumps everything. Not because that’s my opinion but because I think it’s actually indisputable fact. The human brain retains melody easier than it retains words. It’s that simple.
