As cognitive beings, we rationalise everything. So, I think that’s why nemeses are, in general, fascinating to observe, because they decide to act on feelings that we, most of the time, rationalise.
The first information I consume in the morning is probably ‘The New York Times’ and then my Twitter feed. I think Twitter is a really fascinating, easy way to stay on top of what stories are out there.
I questioned everything. I didn’t see a character developed in Platoon at all. The character in Blue Velvet was much more fascinating to me.
Trying to find a way to represent something that is truly frightening on stage is a fascinating challenge.
If there was one key to happiness in love and life and possibly even success, it would be to go into each conversation you have with this commandment to yourself front and foremost in your mind, ‘Just Listen’ and be more interested than interesting, more fascinated than fascinating, and more adoring than adorable.
I find the past so fascinating. Photographs are strange, almost surreal, almost here yet gone. I slip into thinking what the past must have been like and I enjoy creating that ambience and atmosphere – 1730 to around 1870 is the most interesting period.
Every now and then, Prince decides to try being a normal rock star. You know, the kind who does a professional arena tour where he plays the hits. But part of what makes him such an eternally fascinating star is that he lives in his own private purple world, even when he sets out to make the house quake.
Sometimes when you start writing a song, you dont know where theyre going to lead you. You just kind of follow the ideas that come in. Its all kind of stream of consciousness. Thats whats so fascinating about songwriting. Its kind of magical.
The world is vast, beautiful, and fascinating, even awe-inspiring – but impersonal. It demands nothing of me, and allows me to demand nothing of it.
I find the macabre fascinating; it’s all over history.
It’s a fascinating world to drop a finished product on the marketplace without the intercession of a publisher.
America was founded on the fissure between slave states and free states, so these huge fault lines are just built into the American project. How we repress them, express them, deal with them, talk around them, think through them, don’t think through them, is fascinating to me.
It’s been a fascinating thing because we didn’t really know how to write when we started South Park at all. It’s been like, we’ve just sort of grown up a bit and it’s amazing to just see how, if you take Butters and Cartman and put them in any scene, it works.
The science-fictional motif of lethal, infectious information – bad memes – is a fascinating one, with an extended history. One of the earliest instances is Robert W. Chambers’s ‘The King in Yellow’ from 1895. Chambers’s conceit is a malevolent play: read beyond Act II, and you go mad.
I think that anybody’s craft is fascinating. A taxi driver talking about taxi driving is going to be very, very interesting.
No one knows the complete function of sleep. Is it to reset the brain or give it more of a rest period? Is it for cleaning the brain of all the garbage protein? For me, talking about these things as a non-biologist is fascinating.
I’ve been in some situations where people have treated me like a fascinating toy. You know, it’s just like an interesting kind of fun thing to have a play with. It’s very weird for me. I feel like a tiny baby.
The most fascinating thing for me is that ‘Peter Pan’ is a fairy tale, but now, this Filipino kid is a part of the folklore. Can you imagine telling the story of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ or ‘Cinderella,’ and all of a sudden there’s a Filipino kid in there after all these years?
Bruce Dern was fascinating. He’s an amazing character. If you put him in a room at a table, you will sit there for the next five days and listen to everything he has to say and be fascinated by it. He’s great.
It’s a very fascinating thing for an actor to play somebody who is suffering, and you have to express the suffering, but in an inarticulate way and sometimes a dysfunctional way, through violence.
It’s fascinating to see how far people go to spoil their pets… It’s beautiful and heartwarming. Some of it is really silly, but I think it’s fantastic.
I was a history major at Princeton University; I took exams in war and diplomacy, and I find those things very fascinating.
My A-levels were physics, chemistry and maths. Science is fascinating but I wouldn’t say I have used it since then. I decided to do economics.
You can learn any accent you want. It’s a fascinating thing.
The reason that war is such a fascinating subject for writers is because it’s a revealer. Put a bunch of people in an adrenaline-fuelled, life-or-death situation and their fundamental behaviours are exposed, the scrim is taken away and the motivations behind each personality come out to play.
Most bayonets throughout history have probably not been used because soldiers just can’t do it, something holds them back… the same goes for shooting the enemy. We’ve got this fascinating evidence from the Second World War, and also from other wars, that most soldiers couldn’t do it.
There are some good space battles in some of the later series, but that wasn’t why you were tuning in every week. You were tuning in every week because Spock was a fascinating character. Because his friendship with Kirk was profound and really unusual.
I’ve been collecting articles on extremophile bacteria for at least the last ten years. I find them fascinating, whether they live in boiling pools at Yellowstone, around thermal vents at the floors of the oceans, or on Mars, where NASA has been searching for them as the first evidence of life beyond Earth.
We should explore ways to make us a more amazing species. A more fascinating society. We should embrace our innovations and evolve with them.
I was very much in my room with my marionette stage, you know, creating these incredibly boring things that I felt were so fascinating, and forcing my relatives to come, and charging money for them to see my little productions.
I want to do more audio originals because I think that it is a fascinating medium. If you think about it, this is original storytelling.
It is not because I do not love my adopted land – it is the natural feeling of one far from home, who remembers those happy, carefree days when life flowed at full tide, without responsibility, flashing past one like the drama in a fascinating story of adventure and romance.
There are so many different worlds in Long Island. That’s why it’s so fascinating. Between Great Neck and Montauk, there are 10,000 worlds.
The thing I love about vampires that I find so fascinating is that, unlike other sci-fi creations, they aren’t monsters from the get-go, they’re human beings first… and so what kind of human you are would dictate what kind of vampire you would be.
I entered economics because of a course I took on ‘information economics,’ which I found fascinating.
A good actor is somebody who can be truthful and fascinating and interesting and enlightening.
The thing I love about Rome is that is has so many layers. In it, you can follow anything that interests you: town planning, architecture, churches or culture. It’s a city rich in antiquity and early Christian treasures, and just endlessly fascinating. There’s nowhere else like it.
I’d like a male to listen to my music and find it kind of fascinating, what a girl goes through when they get heartbroken or get sad or get hurt by something.
When we meet people who are astronauts or deal in astronomy, it’s always really fascinating.
I was in the Marine Corps in 1971. The idea ‘Where does authority come from?’ is fascinating to me. And also, the idea of a chaplain is fascinating to me because it’s a man of the cloth in uniform, and it’s the uniform of a killing machine. Back when I was in the Corps, when I saw that, I was amazed by it.
The idea of the extraordinary happening in the context of the ordinary is what’s fascinating to me.
Drones ply the liminal space between the physical and the digital – pilots fly them, but aren’t in them. They are versatile and fascinating objects – the things they can do range from the mundane (aerial photography) to the spectacular – killing people, for example.
What’s fascinating about facial hair? It’s more fascinating that people shave it off every day.
Supreme Court arguments and decisions are fascinating to a few of us and really pretty boring to most.
Staten Island is set off completely by itself in its own world, and that’s one of the fascinating things about it, dramatically.
I always say that bad women are fewer than men, but when you get one, they’re fascinating because they’re so rotten.
My past seems to be way more fascinating for people than my future, which bums me out.
We live in a cerebral society, in which we have forgotten how fascinating strength is.
And Garrison Keillor I think is a fascinating guy and really entertaining.
Bitcoin is really a fascinating example of how human beings create value, and is not always rational… tt is not a rational currency in that case.
I never make a trip to the United States without visiting a supermarket. To me they are more fascinating than any fashion salon.
Every night, you fight for that standing ovation at the end of the night. And if you do something wrong, the domino effect is chaotic. And you must not allow yourself to make mistakes whatsoever. So in that case, theater, it’s fascinating because of the discipline that you need.
