The basis of my politics is, first of all, fairness and honesty.
There’s a basis for the war, historically, in the ‘Hunger Games,’ which would be the third servile war, which was Spartacus’ war, where you have a man who is a slave who is then turned into a gladiator who broke out of the gladiator school and led a rebellion and then became the face of the war.
We do not know with any of these neuropsychiatric disorders what the ultimate basis is. Let’s say you could find that too much of protein X was involved in schizophrenia. Would you then know what schizophrenia is? You would not.
The economic basis on which Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish nationalists made the case for separation was based on an oil price much higher than it is at the moment, so there will be no case for it.
So the whole basis for jazz music is based on the fact that the bass player could not play his instrument.
If China stood on an equal basis with other nations, she could compete freely with them in the economic field and be able to hold her own without failure. But as soon as foreign nations use political power as a shield for their economic designs, then China is at a loss how to resist or to compete successfully with them.
For ‘Prometheus,’ I came back to a very simple question that haunted me that appears in the first ‘Alien,’ and no one answered in subsequent Alien films: who was the ‘Space Jockey’ – the big guy in the seat? If you really go into that, it becomes the basis for a pretty interesting story.
Almost everything in ‘A Day With Wilbur Robinson’ has some basis in truth. And yes, my sister did pay me to feed her grapes while she talked to her boyfriend on the phone.
I have always regarded nonalignment as a statement that India’s policies – foreign policy – will be guided by what I describe as ‘enlightened national interest.’ That means we will make judgments on an independent basis with the sole concern being what is enlightened India’s national interest.
In Asia, it’s customary to get together with your entire extended family on a regular basis, and it’s all rife with politics.
A show can be artistically successful; a show can be financially successful; a show can be successful by the transformative experience the audience is having; a show can be successful from the point of view of what is experienced by the cast and the company on a daily basis.
A lot of what we do in the studio on a day-to-day basis is you try to cast a line as far out as you can out into unknown waters and reel it back in, cut out stuff that isn’t working, cut out stuff that isn’t connecting to people.
I like to write stories where young people have a strong feeling about something being fair or unfair, right or wrong, cruel or kind, and they act on the basis of that – often in the face of the prevailing limits of behaviour.
Everything with Marvel is on a need-to-know basis, so I didn’t officially know until the second episode I did, which I think was the 10th episode in the season. Information is carefully guarded over there. I definitely didn’t know that I was ‘Deathlok.’
If we would change the basis and align what is taught in school with what is needed with business… that’s where I came up with this idea of ‘new collar.’ Not blue collar or white collar.
China has been committed to the independent foreign policy of peace and has developed friendship and cooperation with all countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.
Rationalism is the enemy of art, though necessary as a basis for architecture.
It should be remembered that the president cannot, by executive order, do things that affects the public at large unless there is some Congressional basis for it.
I buy the best fabrics from small mills in Italy. That is the basis for my clothes.
Without white South Africa realizing what it had done – and on the basis of that realization having the courage to ask for forgiveness – there can really be no significant movement.
That’s what liberalism is all about, is promoting incompetence on the basis it’s fair, because people would be the best if they weren’t discriminated against.
I’d love to thwart the Census form, but I want a constitutional basis for doing it – and here’s the tricky thing. I think even constitutional purists would tell you that just because something isn’t in the Constitution does not mean the government cannot do it.
Sooner or later, you will see a China-based company that really has a global impact, and I think Baidu has a chance to become one of those companies. We should be able to compete on a global basis.
If you look at it from just a pure economic basis, technology is replacing all of the jobs robots can do, and machinery is replacing the jobs that humans once held. If we don’t train our children to imagine, to create, they’re going to be unemployable.
I decided with ‘Savage Season’ to use a lot of things in my life as the basis.
The best remote companies I’ve seen do almost everything online, via email and telephone. But they also get together face to face on a regular basis.
The Good Friday Agreement was an incredible breakthrough. But it’s my view that the Hillsborough Agreement could see politics in the north come of age, and see us all move forwards on the basis of equality and partnership.
In politics shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
My purpose is to make a movie to make you warm. To give you some heat. Now, this rational world has become a place where only what is cool is good. Do you cut the movie on the basis of the beat of modernity or the basis of the beat of your own heart?
What is so terrible about transaction costs? On what basis are they considered the ultimate evil, so that their minimization must override all other considerations of choice, freedom, and justice?
It is the potential for economic growth that provides the basis for the development of countries, for bringing to people essential goods and services, such as water to drink and facilities for healthcare.
Competition is not only the basis of protection to the consumer, but is the incentive to progress.
Artists often become vocal advocates of freedom of expression because we depend on it so heavily in our work. But it is an inalienable right that belongs to everyone on an equal basis.
What you have to do is enter the fiction of America, enter America as fiction. It is, indeed, on this fictive basis that it dominates the world.
I believe that the best cameraman is one who recognizes the source, the story, as the basis of his work.
There are many critics who think the megachurches thrive on people who enjoy dramatic Sunday services with fine music but don’t wish to become very ‘religious’ on a day-to-day basis – that the megachurch appeal is a mile wide and an inch deep.
Once you have a computer that can do a few things – strictly speaking, one that has a certain ‘sufficient set’ of basic procedures – it can do basically anything any other computer can do. This, loosely, is the basis of the great principle of ‘Universality’.
I often wonder if we could not solve the world’s problems on a similar basis of harmony.
I did not choose necessarily on the basis of significance. If you have a vote for the most significant athlete, then you have Ali, then you have Babe Ruth, then you have Michael Jordan.
Contract farming can be promoted if it is structured on the basis of a win-win situation both for the producer and the purchaser.
A music director cannot and should not be chosen on the basis of a first date. It is not so difficult to make a good impression with a single appearance, usually containing some of a conductor’s party pieces, works they have performed successfully many times before.
We can get much better outcomes from people if we understand the genetic basis of the exact cancer that they have, what interventions might be most effective against it, what’s worked in the past and what hasn’t.
Science and technology are going to be the basis for many of the solutions to social problems.
We should celebrate Christmas throughout the year, but I believe the whole concept of giving was the basis of Christmas, that it was a charitable, you know, giving, and I think we got carried away with giving.
Perhaps life is actually more confusing and unknowable to an adult than a child, but grown-ups have learned to deceive themselves and act as if they understand what’s going on; and some are elected to high office on the basis of their ability to create this impression.
A compact defense has always been the basis of Italy’s team.
It’s important for a leader to hear about his blind spots on a regular basis so working on them is periodically top of mind.
In a sense, ‘Twin Peaks’ never really went away. They’ve got a ‘Twin Peaks’ convention up in Washington every year, and I’m pretty much recognized on a fairly regular basis from ‘Twin Peaks,’ so I feel like it never really got too far away.
Pasta is my superfood! Balance and moderation are the basis for my diet, though, so I also make sure to incorporate plenty of protein, fruits, and veggies throughout the day.
You have in the U.S. around two million new diagnoses of cancer a year, and 13 million survivors, so you have about 10,000 patients that require analysis every day. That’s about five petabytes that need to be transmitted and computed on a daily basis.
