I really like the short stories that Melissa Bank writes. I think she’s sort of channeling the female version of J.D. Salinger in more recent days.
There just isn’t a version of ‘socialism in one country’ around in the 21st century. I think it’s really important that we don’t fall for this nirvana of ‘Let’s just get out, and we can create a socialist Britain.’
There is a version of Alzheimer’s which is early onset Alzheimer’s. And it’s – it’s horrible, because people do get it in their 50s and 60s. And it’s terrible.
In truth, the best Bitcoin can hope for is to be a second-rate version of gold, if that.
In Los Angeles, parenting is a competitive sport. From Beverly Hills baby boutiques to kids’ yoga classes, L.A. fuses high style, industrial-strength materialism, and parental outsourcing into our own unique version of child-rearing.
Anyone watching ’30 Rock’ always knew Tina Fey was playing a fictionalized version of herself, a workaholic comedy writer who also plays one on TV. She’s the boss; Liz Lemon just works here.
We’re trying to set up a movie for me in the near future. It’s going to be similar to the story of how I got discovered. Kinda like my own version of ‘8 Mile.’
The original version of C did not have structures. So to make tables of objects, process tables and file tables and this tables and that tables, it really was fairly painful.
So many different countries have got their version of what Merlin is: the Scottish say he Scottish, the Welsh say he’s Welsh, the French say he’s French.
On ‘Metallica,’ I recorded six or seven different guitar solos for almost every song, took the best aspects of each solo, mapped out a master solo and made a composite. Then I learned how to play the composite solo, tightened it up and replayed it for the final version.
I watched the Telugu version of ‘Pokkiri’ several times. Of course, I wielded the megaphone for the Tamil version. The script is very close to my heart.
It’s really rare in TV not to think, ‘Well, I’ve seen a version of this before.’
We have a version of Firefox for mobile devices, codenamed Fennec. That’s a type of fox – South American, I think, with giant ears.
The juggernaut that is steampunk, like Dr. Loveless’s giant mechanical spider in the 1999 film version of ‘The Wild, Wild West,’ seems capable of crushing all naysayers.
In an interview, I lose control even of what I am, for it is the interviewer who edits me, finally, into what he thinks I am, and never have I been happy with someone else’s version of my life after that person has spent an entire two or three hours fathoming it.
For our first date, I made Ryan Hamburger Helper, which is basically what I grew up on. I make my own version of it now, with macaroni and cheese and hamburger meat. And the kids – it’s their favorite dinner.
Volunteering has been undervalued in Britain for a long time. Often it has been seen as a kind of cut-price, amateur version of work that would be better done by the state. When politicians speak about it, people hear in the background the sound of budgets being cut.
I worry about every newspaper. I worry about the financial undertaking, and I worry that somehow the loss of the sale of the paper version will affect their ability to have journalists and editors and producers. We really need those.
Ireland has made its choice for the future and it has chosen the version of Irishness it will build. I know, and I will work with head and heart to be part of it with all of you in creating that future one in which all of us can be part of and part of us too.
You know, it’s a big version of an episode, which I think is necessary at this point because we’re drawing in people who not only people who have seen the show before and are devoted to it, but people who have never seen it before.
I got an opportunity to be on a tribute to the Rolling Stones in the late ’90s and did a rockin’ version of ‘Paint It Black’ – that’s probably the biggest stretch of anything that I’ve personally done. I listen to a lot of different kinds of music, but I understand where my parameters are.
With Twitter, it’s a little harder to tell jokes that somebody hasn’t heard already. You have all these people out there sharing their opinions and telling jokes in real time, and by the time you get on, somebody’s already done some version of what you’re trying to do.
I even done a doo-wop version of the Mickey Mouse march.
I guess you could say I want to become like Martha Stewart – just a sexier version!
I took a lot of influences from Studio Ghibli, which is the Japanese animation studio that made ‘Spirited Away’ and ‘Castle in the Sky.’ They’re like the Japanese version of Disney – but without all the schmaltz.
When you see an early edited version, you’re not sure what it is. The movie is getting on its wobbly legs.
Be the best version of yourself rather than a bad copy of someone else!
I think any writer coming on to ‘Batman’ should at least attempt to do their own definitive version. What it means to them. Whatever they think that symbol or character can say.
I’m not trying to be the younger, blonder version of anyone. I’m trying to be Tomi.
Eddie Guerrero is my number one. He is the reason I am in the WWE – I wanted to be the female version of him.
I’m always trying to find ways to evolve. Evolution, for me, is a very spiritual thing, getting closer to the creator, closer to God, and becoming a better version of yourself.
Sometimes an actor will stumble on the joke, and I’m right on them. Back it up before the audience hears the bad version of the joke, because humor is 90% surprise. If they know what’s coming, they won’t laugh as hard.
As a dancer, obviously, we are all inspired by Michael Jackson, and I always looked up to Gene Kelly. He was a bigger version of Fred Astaire, and he was amazing as well.
I think many people need, even require, a narrative version of their life. I seem to be one of them. Writing memoir is, in some ways, a work of wholeness.
If I could go back I might change Geronimo a bit. If I do, it will be made a longer version.
I would not be allowed to be in the web series without playing ‘Halo.’ I’m awful, by the way. I’m much better at the live action version.
We all want a non-fragmented solution, but the utopian version of a single blockchain to rule them all is undesirable and impractical.
In my home I tend to eat a very simple version of what we cook at the restaurant, which is vegetable-oriented, with a little bit of fish and very little meat. For instance, a dish in my home could be steamed spinach with spruce, where I take a spruce branch and put it in the pot and that infuses into the spinach.
I feel like I’m a much better person when I’m developing my imagination and my innocence and my vulnerability. I like that version of me better than the version where I’m just working on my analytical mind.
Pretty much every society, every culture in the world has some version of the Arthur legend, so everybody knows it; certainly in the western world, everybody knows King Arthur, but nobody knows what happens next.
My version of lip-synching is singing full-out with the track.
The challenging part of parenting for me is to make sure that an individual person is an individual and not some sort of cookie-cutter version of me. At the same time, I want to make sure that I impart my sense of the world as an adult.
I like to think of ‘Illuminate’ as the mature version of the previous one, a year older, more experience.
You don’t have to go out there and fit the mold of what a quarterback is supposed to be. Make your own mold and do the best at each role. If you can run with the best and throw with the best, you can be the best quarterback in your own version of the position.
Any degree of success or achievement for me is only ever a relief. My version of getting carried away is: ‘Mmm, that wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.’
Even if I wouldn’t wear something myself, I think I know how women feel, how women want to look. I can really relate to women, I get on very well with women… Some women don’t. I want to empower women, make women feel the best version of themselves.
Of course the first version of an all-electric sports car is going to be expensive.
I’m speaking in very broad brushstrokes, but in France, there’s generally this idea that you should look like the best version of the age that you are.
I look like a melanin version of Chris Hayes.
After the success of ‘Empire’ and ‘How to Get Away with Murder’ and ‘Scandal’ and ‘Power’ and ‘Black-ish’, which all had characters that were genuine, authentic, and had the language of real people, I found myself coming into pilot season and every network just wanted to have their version of one of those shows.
I’ll tell you what I really loved: the version of ‘Somebody to Love’ that was in ‘Happy Feet.’ That was fantastic.
I am fine with ‘Puppy Love.’ I hated it for a while. But I still sing it. I have a country version, a sexy version and a cheesy nightclub version. I am trying to infuse it with maturity. I will never escape that song. I will always be Mr. ‘Puppy Love.’
I have a huge promotion: you’ve heard from me on ‘Vantage Point’ and also with ‘Cyrano Fernandez’ – that is a Venezuelan movie that I star in and co-produced, and it’s based on the romance of Cyrano de Bergerac. And it’s set in a Venezuelan slum. It’s a free version of the French play.
