A ‘first meeting’ is, by definition, a one-time opportunity, and there’s no going back. Over the course of my career, I’ve been on both sides of inspiring first meetings that energized me for the next stage of a partnership and disappointing first meetings that left me uncertain about next steps.

In the past I have declined to comment on my own work: because, it seems to me, a poem is what it is; because a poem is itself a definition, and to try to redefine it is to be apt to falsify it; and because the author is the person least able to consider his work objectively.

I’ve always believed in good music over bad music. I believe in two sorts of musics. And the lines that separate us, I don’t believe in that.

I think maybe even one of the reasons I became an actor was actually to hide. I mean, it sounds paradoxical because, of course, people are standing up in a public place and encouraging other people to look at them. So that’s not the conventional definition of hiding.
There are those who seem to feel they have no choice about being jerks in the present because they had a crappy childhood. Well, that’s the definition of childhood; nobody gets out alive. You either get stronger from what you experience, or you turn it into a crutch, an excuse, a dodge.
When you say ‘fear of the unknown’, that is the definition of fear; fear is the unknown, fear is what you do not know, and it’s genetically within us so that we feel safe. We feel scared of the woods because we’re not familiar with it, and that keeps you safe.
Isn’t that the definition of a star? Someone who can get a film made?

There is that definition of leadership that says, ‘Leadership is convincing people to do things that they otherwise wouldn’t have done because you’ve made them believe it’s the right thing to do.’ And a great speech can do that.

I suppose even when I was growing up, I noticed I was most happy when I was absorbed in something, lost in the moment and forgot the time, whether was conversation, movie, or a game I was playing.

If we go on your iPhone and go to the dictionary and look up ‘humble,’ 80 per cent of the definition is negative. It’s a controlling word. It’s a way to control the masses and to control the sheep.
Expand the definition of ‘reading’ to include non-fiction, humor, graphic novels, magazines, action adventure, and, yes, even websites. It’s the pleasure of reading that counts; the focus will naturally broaden. A boy won’t read shark books forever.

My son, who’s on the spectrum is a very rigid thinker. He needs clear-cut definitions of right and wrong. Anything hazy or gray confuses him.

There is no definition to love. It is a feeling.
Let me be clear. I support the definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

They play on the computer with their friends.

For me, the reason why people go to a mountaintop or go to the edge of the ocean is to look at something larger than themselves. That feeling of awe, of going to a cathedral, it’s all about feeling lost in something bigger than oneself. To me, that’s the definition of spectacle.
Liberals subscribe to the new flexible, pluralistic definition of the family; their defense of families carries no conviction.

The most basic definition of fluency is simply the ability to read text accurately and quickly.
I just don’t believe in the old definition that a fan of music is: I find a band, I listen to all of it and I pretend to like stuff that I don’t like. Now if I don’t like it, I just go, ‘I don’t like this.’ It’s way fairer.
Paradigm shifts, particularly in diplomacy and security issues, are, by definition, major undertakings.
I think that magic, at its root, is a very abstract notion. There’s no real, approved definition. And, in that sense, it’s like love; you can only see magic by the effect it has on people.
If I don’t go to the gym and work out, I look like a bag of bones. I go three times a week usually and it’s nearly all weights work to help with definition.

Senseless violence is, almost by definition, hard to understand.

A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.

People have challenged me all my life, told me I wasn’t fast enough, wasn’t smart enough, but you know what? No one’s ever outworked me. My definition of tired and most people’s definition of tired are two totally different things.

By definition, when you make something no one hates, no one loves it.
I have a type of bipolar that swings up and down all day long. There are significant mood swings within a day, within a week, within a month. I go through at least four major episodes a year.

I like the theatre because you paint with broad strokes. To me the theatre is stretching its definition really far.

The definition of being a feminist is equality, and if you’re not a feminist at this point, then what are you really promoting?

Marriage has historically, as long as there’s been human history, meant a man and a woman in a relationship for life. Once we change that definition, then where does it go from there?

Football is a more beautiful game in high definition.

If you look up the definition of stand-up comedy, it’s funny on purpose. A little bit of pressure there. It’s basically acting. You’re telling stories and acting them out for people. The more you make it seem real, really a person doing it, then it seems to me the better it works.
Forty-five States, as the gentleman just said, have determined by people that were elected by the people of that State that marriage is the definition of one man and one woman.

The definition of success is that the company doesn’t miss a beat. Do I love what I do? Oh yeah – I love it more than ever. You’ve got to have that energy level 24/7. But you’ve also got to make sure the transition is smooth. Being realistic, most high-tech companies haven’t done that well.
That’s the very definition of freedom: to be allowed to develop our own creative potential to the fullest. But it doesn’t have to be in the arts, obviously. In my case, I gravitated toward the arts.

My definition of a good hotel is a place I’d stay at.
I do believe that the states have the right to make the definition of marriage, and each state can define it as they so choose through their elected representatives.

Definition of a classic: a book everyone is assumed to have read and often thinks they have.

Before I had kids, I thought you should never lie to a kid. But now I’ve had them, I realize you almost lie to them by definition, because if you’re trying to summarize something for your 1-year-old, you put it in very simple terms. You only gradually complicate the explanation as they get older.

I’m the true definition of a workaholic.

I talk about myself too much – but isnt that the definition of an actor?
By definition, an actor’s life is a recipe for regret. There are always roads you could have taken. But I’ve lived long enough to realise that each road has its own rewards.
I don’t lift weights at all. Every muscle on my body is for an actual task; there is no muscle that I train for show. If I want to be able to do a certain move or action, I train really hard until I can. And with all of that training comes muscle definition, so it’s really an afterthought.
There is no question that Taiwan is a state in any political science definition of a state.

If people feel misled or deceived, then sorry that they feel that way, but I believe that’s more due to their definition and construct of race in their own minds than it is to my integrity or honesty, because I wouldn’t say I’m African American, but I would say I’m black, and there’s a difference in those terms.
It’s time for male leaders to not only ask for binders of qualified women, but to re-write the definition of ‘qualified.’ The best man for the job, may in fact, be a woman, whose biography is not traditional, but is rich with experiences and skills that are not necessarily learned either in school or on the job.

If someone explains me the definition of love, I will give my life to the person. Love is a thing which is difficult to understand. Love is always evolving.
Trump bragged about hiring only the ‘best people’ when he was running for president. We’re seeing, time and again, the opposite. It’s unclear whether the president’s definition of ‘best people’ is different than ours, or if the ‘best people’ simply aren’t interested in working for him.
My definition of love is being full. Complete. It makes everything lighter. Beauty is something you see. Love is something you feel.

A huge part of keeping women in their place has to do with creating a really limited definition of what a ‘real’ woman is like.

People like Dick Gregory, Paul Robeson, Harry Belafonte and Nina Simone show me what the definition of an artist is – it isn’t just to make art but to speak truth to what’s happening, speak beauty into the world, speak love into the world and also… get involved.

Words have not only a definition… but also the felt quality of their own kind of sound.

Asylum under the traditional definition doesn’t necessarily include people coming here for economic reasons, but I think one of the biggest things we need to do is expand legal immigration so people can do that legally.

The curious thing about the Ready-Made is that I’ve never been able to arrive at a definition or explanation that fully satisfies me. There’s still magic in the idea, so I’d rather keep it that way than try to be exoteric about it.
I have my own definition of minimalism, which is that which is created with a minimum of means.
Turkey’s solidarity with Hamas is not, of course, based on Arab nationalism, which as a non-Arab nation it does not support. It is instead based on a definition of the Mideast conflict as one between Jews and Muslims, precisely the position of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda.

I am kind of, by definition, a hipster.
A rock star, according to my definition, is someone who inspires people around him with something he is best at. In my case, it’s music, but I wanted audiences to realise there is a rock star waiting to be unleashed within them as well.

That’s the definition of love, that going out in spirit to a separate and other soul and being received similarly.

I think of myself as living so much outside borders or old categories that I choose as my leaders U2, the Dalai Lama, Vaclav Havel, Sigur Ros, Desmond Tutu, Barack Obama, and the girl next door. By definition, in short, my leaders are the ones who think in terms larger, and more intimate, than any country.
I do believe that any sort of electromagnetic energy that can be measured beyond the moment of death is, by the definition of energy, eternal. But I cop to the fact that calling it a ‘soul’ and presuming it sustains our consciousness in any form is, to put it kindly, a leap.

The definition of political cinema is one I don’t agree with, because every film, every show, is typically political in nature. Political cinema is simply the brainchild of bad journalists.
