I think the thing is resolving problems rather than letting them fester.
‘Rocky’ is an incredibly human story, and ‘Creed’ is very inspired by the Rocky lore, but there’s something kind of profound in letting it all go. This is the first time I’m co-writing, and I’m learning as I go. This process is so different from ‘Fruitvale’; hopefully it gets made.
When you feel stuck in a hard time, jump-start a pro-change attitude by letting go of possessions that no longer work for you – like old clothes and old shoes.
I love going out dancing. There is nothing better than letting your hair down and staying up far too late, is there?
Seoul will do what it can do, such as letting citizens participate in cutting energy use or in producing more of their own energy. This is how we can thwart the increase in nuclear plants.
At the end of the day, you can’t win games when you’re letting goals in.
When it comes to letting kids out into dark alleys, we understand that they have things to steal. We need to understand that in online life, too.
I write in coffee shops, libraries, parks, museums. I get antsy and then get on my bike and go someplace else, letting the ideas spin around in my head as I dodge taxis.
I don’t believe in letting the advertising business get a stranglehold on the entertainment industry.
You work on you doing your thing, sticking to your game plan, not letting stuff distract you and get you into a danger zone.
The thing that made it so hard to get that call from Jill Ellis in 2015, letting me know I wouldn’t be at the World Cup, was that I felt like I’d lost what I love most about putting on the U.S. kit: representation.
The money I have made and will be making means nothing to me compared to the fact that about half of the black people I meet – ranging from the most sophisticated to the least sophisticated – say to me, ‘I’m proud of you.’ I feel strongly about always earning that and never letting black people down.
You can’t just be letting certain people get away with certain things and not others.
Holding on to things from the past is the same as clinging to an image of yourself in the past. If you’re the least bit interested in changing anything about yourself, I suggest you be brave and start letting things go.
I’ve learned through experience that life is never that bad. The secret is just paying attention to how you feel and not letting anyone else dictate what in your heart you know is right.
We have to stop letting people come in here and make millionaires and billionaires of themselves off of West Virginia while West Virginia remains poor.
Even as kids reach adolescence, they need more than ever for us to watch over them. Adolescence is not about letting go. It’s about hanging on during a very bumpy ride.
I play Nitin Sawhney’s ‘Letting Go’ repeatedly, nonstop. I find it transformative. I’m so glad iPods were invented so I didn’t have to drive everyone around me mad with the repetition.
Negotiation is often described as the art of letting the other side have your way. You have to give the other side a chance to put stuff on the table voluntarily.
Being flirty is a way of letting a guy know you’re interested without making a fool out of yourself.
Every decision is tough, letting go a player.
I like the idea of letting the music do its own work and the stories being more expressionful – if that’s a word – in people’s imagination. I’ve just got a thing about people and songs telling you how you should feel.
You’re just playing, playing, playing, and then an image or something will come into your mind, and basically you’re just narrating it with music, letting it move along.
Politicians have been spreading fear, saying if we’re letting in refugees, we’re letting in terrorists. It’s not the truth. We’ve got to recognise the difference between terrorism and people who are refugees; people who are struggling.
The first time I ever saw snow skis was when I was 62 years old and that was 19 years ago and I’m still skiing. So, we’ll be skiing with some very close friends of the Carter Center letting them know what the Carter Center is doing around the world. We have programs in over 65 countries.
When we let cops talk about themselves as a separate community, then we are letting cops wall themselves off from the rest of us. We don’t generally do that with any other jobs. We don’t talk about the barista community or the Wal-Mart greeter community.
However God had it planned, I’m rockin’ with how he do it. He took the steering wheel and I’m letting him drive.
Politics is a thing that is kind of the same over and over and over again. But we have to find new ways of poking fun at it and letting the air out of people and satirizing things that are worthy of satire.
Those who write may think they know their target market. They may even feel they can shape the work to fit it. If this is true of you, you have more control over your creative process than I do. Even so, I humbly submit that you try letting your writing shape your target market instead and see what happens.
I didn’t have a hard time making it, I had a hard time letting it go.
Stardom happens – you can’t plan it – it’s destiny, and you shouldn’t stand between you and your destiny. I’m letting my destiny play its part, and I go by my gut feeling. If I like my role, I say yes; if I don’t, I just refuse, as simple as that.
In between jobs, you think your luck has run out, but they keep on letting me do what I love to do. I really can’t complain.
I had a terrible job letting me do anything that wasn’t comedy.
I think being famous is more of a hindrance, a constraint, than just letting yourself be free.
For my children, it makes sense to talk about modernizing Social Security, letting them create stronger personal accounts, letting them get a higher rate of return over the long run.
Letting my guard down, trusting that someone will look after me… I’ve found that hard to do.
I think it is important to maintain a sense of self and confidence, not letting either falter for the sake of a particular part or project, no matter how great it might be.
You pass a program and get people dependent on it, making it brutal to get rid of. The key is not letting it get started.
I was interested in maintaining the dignity and the hearts of the songs, letting them breathe and become what they are.
As far as using electronics in my music, I have to do that as honestly as possible. Also, I have a broad range of listeners from a classical music base, as well as people, like me, who listen to a lot of different music. So I’m mindful of letting my sitar playing remain at the center of what I do.
I have worked very hard on being aware of my childhood but moving forward and not letting it bring me down emotionally. That is a hard thing – especially when you have children of your own and you remember what happened to you at that age.
The most important thing, in anything you do, is always trying your hardest, because even if you try your hardest and it’s not as good as you’d hoped, you still have that sense of not letting yourself down.
I profoundly feel that people are letting you down all the time.
Letting your guard down and the world into your home is very risky, I know.
Just letting it out is one of the definitions of bad art.
I know my mom said as early as she can remember letting me watch TV, my one treat a week when I was like 6 was to stay up and watch ‘Saturday Night Live.’
Every child’s taste is different. Don’t worry if they’re not reading ‘War and Peace’ at age 12. First, build a good foundation and a positive attitude about reading by letting them pick the stories they enjoy. Make friends with a bookseller or librarian. They are a wealth of information on finding books that kids enjoy.
If immigration reform passes, it’ll be a big victory for sanity – nobody really believes it’s healthy for a country to have millions and millions of undocumented noncitizens living in the shadows. But it’ll also be a sign that the Republican Party has gotten tired of letting the Tea Party push it around.
From the time I was wee big, my mother was one of the first members of Mary Kay Cosmetics. Women going door-to-door and letting housewives have their own business – that was really a breakthrough. It was huge.
Looking at 2014, I look back: we made more money off ‘Mailbox Money’ than we would have made off taking an advance from anybody. We made more money letting our fans buy the stuff directly from us than what any label could have offered us.
Bob Smith from Brooklyn is a guy who sometimes gets hung with problems and fears. Wolfman Jack is a happy-go-lucky guy who knows how to party. The challenge of my life has been letting more and more of Bob Smith go, becoming the Wolfman on an almost full-time basis, while still taking care of business.
I do not abuse players. I talk to myself; I abuse myself. It’s my way of letting off steam. I do it after every century; I do not do it always. I keep telling myself: ‘Improve, improve from the previous match, the previous shot. You can do it.’
There’s nothing funnier for me than taking two characters and throwing them into a pressure cooker and letting them turn on each other. Especially if they already tend to be loud, aggressive, alpha types. That’s sort of everything from ‘The Honeymooners’ to ‘Goodfellas’ to ‘The Sopranos.’
