I think you can find yourself on one of these shows for a long period of time and think that all you’ll ever be able to do is that character. Certainly people think of you that way.
I was a Member of the European Parliament for a period of time and I saw a lot of European laws and treaties.
It would be a mind-boggling endeavor to try to identify each individual who claims to have been a survivor of victimization during this period of 24 years.
My grades started dropping, and when I sleep all day and come to the gym I’d have a slow day. I needed rules, I guess, in boxing and to just help me, period.
We loved the language in Cormac McCarthy’s ‘No Country,’ which is really about the region, while in ‘True Grit’ it’s more about period: people did speak more formally and floridly.
What’s really important in life? Sitting on a beach? Looking at television eight hours a day? I think we have to appreciate that we’re alive for only a limited period of time, and we’ll spend most of our lives working.
Youth is a period of missed opportunities.
On the other hand in London you can get an audience that desires dance to go as far as it can go: they’ve seen the bricks of ideas built over a period so therefore there is an acceptance of what otherwise might seem out on a limb.
Most period drama is so earnest. A lot of it is about making yourself take seriously things you wouldn’t normally.
Spring and summer 1942 was probably the worst period of internal terror in Slovakia. It was also the time of mass deportation of Slovak Jews to the extermination camps in Poland.
When Culture Club broke up, I hadn’t been going out a lot because we’d been working all the time, so I suddenly had this period of leisure. And it was just around the time that the whole acid house thing kicked off in London.
As soon as I see period costume, I turn off. It’s like hearing drama on Radio 4.
Marriage is hard work, period.
I think legally we have to do ‘fun’ with a period. I think we agreed because apparently there was another band called ‘fun.’ We Google-searched, which now makes sense because we’re so impossible to Google-search.
It’s the whole big picture that we have to look at to create an organization that wins over the long term. And to just shoot from the hip on a decision based on winning over a 10-game period. No, that doesn’t make sense.
We can’t be politically correct – right or left – in the war on terrorism. Period.
The great thing about the stage is that you have a structured month-long rehearsal period where you’re going in every day. You have to have lots of run-throughs with theater because there are no second takes in front of a live audience.
When I was a kid, I needed to sing because it makes me feel good about myself. It makes me feel good, period.
The actors nowadays, both young men and young ladies, don’t always wear their period clothes as well as they might. They tend to stomp around a bit in them.
I dream of working with iconic directors such as Tim Burton, Baz Luhrmann, Terry Gilliam and Wes Anderson – so I’m setting my sights pretty high! My perfect role would be in a fairy-tale period piece, and I’m quite upset all the Harry Potter movies have been made as I’d love to have been in those.
I could write historical fiction, or science fiction, or a mystery but since I find it fascinating to research the clues of some little know period and develop a story based on that, I will probably continue to do it.
This is a gift. This is a gift from God. It’s really like the old Biblical passage that talks about your body being a temple. That’s not to say that I’ve never done anything but I’ve never abused myself. Never gone over the top for a long period of time.
I haven’t done period dramas back-to-back, or really anything back-to-back. You get asked to do what you’re most recently famed for, so I’m careful of not repeating myself.
Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you’re always going to find a hip-hop tape; that’s all I buy, that’s all I live, that’s all I listen to, that’s all I love.
We know we are entering a period of transformation in aged care.
Freud has shown one thing very clearly: that we only forget our infancy by burying it in the unconscious; and that the problems of this difficult period find their solution under a disguised form in adult life.
After I joined Toyota, there was a period when I drove more than 200 cars in one year – different types, other companies’ cars. I want to be able to tell what distinguishes one car from the next.
Middle age is the awkward period when Father Time starts catching up with Mother Nature.
I feel like I’ve done a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies.
I remember that during the period leading up to independence in Angola in 1975, I was the only correspondent there at all for three months.
I think when you have a lot of jumbled up ideas they come together slowly over a period of several years.
In ’98, I locked myself in my house, went out of my mind and wrote 25 songs. I rarely bathed during that period of writing, I sent out for food, I didn’t really venture out of my house in three or four months. It was a hell of an experience.
There was definitely a period when I just felt out of sync with earth.
I think music has gone through a period of something very severe, rather radical, rather the way painting did with cubism.
You have so much to share, you have so much to tell, you have so much you want to expose, so much that’s inside that you’ve learned from that life period. There are really very few people I can share that with.
I don’t regret anything and what I have done in my period of my life. Everything happens for a reason, and that’s why I am here.
And then the last album, ‘Get It’, was done over a shorter period of time and I started using other musicians, as opposed to playing all the instruments myself like I did on the other two.
There’s no question that tar sands in Canada are probably the largest source of oil available to the U.S. over a long period of time. There’s as much oil in the tar sands probably as there is in Saudi Arabia. The problem is, there’s a huge capital requirement to develop that.
What you have to understand about period drama is that it’s ‘history light.’
Maybe people who aren’t too interested in period pieces will be now because ‘Bridgerton’ is so contemporary, so modern.
A lot of period dramas can appear quite arch to most people, stuffy.
In the same period, Polish literature also underwent some significant changes. From social-political literature, which had a great tradition and strong motivation to be that way, Polish literature changed its focus to a psychological rather than a social one.
I think the market should reward banks that have been transparent in recognising their problems. I think the tendency of banks to hide the problem assets over a period of three or four years should not be allowed.
The fire was followed by a period of grieving and then by an incredible lightness, freedom, and mobility.
I bought a railroad during this period of time.
Eighty-five percent cannot read when they enter the security forces of Afghanistan. Why? Because the Taliban withheld education during the period of time in which these men and women would have learned to read.
We have a training period; we have certain guidelines and structure. You can’t hire talented people and stifle them. That’s not the way it works anymore.
It was hard to get guys to notice me, period, because I was so skinny and all my friends were curvy. Plus, I used to be very nervous in front of guys.
We are in a period when old questions are settled and the new are not yet brought forward. Extreme party action, if continued in such a time, would ruin the party. Moderation is its only chance. The party out of power gains by all partisan conduct of those in power.
Things go wrong for me all the time with technology. I’m not familiar enough with it, and I’m too old-school a brain to be able to figure it out. I’m dumb. Anything that I have to attack with my thumbs, for any period of time, makes me feel stupid. So, I try to avoid it, as much as possible, to protect my thumbs.
Going through the grief period of my dad and losing him – that was the worst thing because you know when you get that call. When you are seven, eight years old, you have that almost vision in your mind of what that’s going to be like and what your going to feel like and it doesn’t prepare you.
My time at Berklee College of Music was probably my greatest period of artistic growth and internalisation.
For every SF reader of that period, Robert A. Heinlein was also a touchstone.
At no period of our political existence had we so much cause to felicitate ourselves at the prosperous and happy condition of our country.
This was the period when I used all the influence I had to get the British to abandon their export trade, and as much as possible convert all of their manufacturing facilities to the immediate needs of the war, including civilian, as well as military requirements.
From time to time there is a move to do a little less in the way of period dramas, but people rebel. Audiences say we want them. There is a big hunger for them. I don’t think it’s sentimentality or nostalgia, it’s often that they are simply the best stories.
