I’ll say initially acting was my first love, and that’s what I pursued. But then, so far as even my first day on a film set, and just watching how things were set up, I just said, ‘I think I want to be in charge.’ I am very much type-A. I am a bit of a control freak.
The tocsin you hear today is not an alarm but an alert: it sounds the charge against our enemies.
Careers are what they are, they don’t make any sense at all when you look back. We’re not in charge of them.

Unlike despotisms, modern democracies are not supposed promiscuously to accumulate property and then charge their taxpayers to maintain it. But that is what they do. Governments are always trying to extend their responsibilities and their estates, and it is very hard for parliaments to reign them in.
In order for New York to not only get back to where we were, but to finally fulfill our potential as the greatest city on Earth, we need people in charge who are going to fight for the working class, and not the corrupt institutions that have taken advantage of a broken system.
I am the oldest of three. I was in charge of making sure my brother and sister were OK and also entertained so they didn’t bother my mother, who had a job at home.

People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.
Only a woman can tell you what it’s like to be a woman in a society where men are in charge. When you have one demographic that controls the livelihood of minorities, then you’re always going to have abuses of power. So this goes way beyond Hollywood.
I don’t know that ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ is a complete reinvention, but I’m playing one of the guys in charge this time. Before I’d be cast as a young impressionable character. I think part of that is just being more mature.
I am called here to answer before you, but I hear no things laid to my charge.
Film is mostly a visual medium, and so the director has much more control in terms of painting pictures and painting a performance. For theater, the director does everything he can and then says, ‘Out you go,’ and the actors are in charge of that stage every night.
If you want a product that’s thicker with a bigger battery, it’s also heavier, more costly, takes longer to charge.
If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there’d be a shortage of sand.
When Tim Berners-Lee invented the computer code that led to the creation of the World Wide Web in 1990, he did not try to patent or charge fees for the use of his technology.
Well, for one thing, the executives in charge at Cartoon Network are cartoon fans. I mean, these are people who grew up loving animation and loving cartoons, and the only difference between them and me is they don’t know how to draw.
In the end the recrudescence of racism on the right is conservatism’s problem to solve, and it has to be solved independently of whatever liberals and leftists happen to be saying. But the task of solving it still gets a little harder with every nonsense charge or bad-faith accusation.
I also think stress is related to control. When you’re in charge of your life, you tend to not care about losing control of things that don’t really matter like traffic jams.
President Trump can only do so much while pro-China socialists like AOC are in charge.
The only thing that I’d rather own than Windows is English, because then I could charge you two hundred and forty-nine dollars for the right to speak it.
Drug companies say they need to charge ever-higher prices to cover their research costs, but they spend far less on research and development than they do on marketing and administration, and afterwards they actually keep more in profits.
To those who don’t want the truth about Kennedy’s assassination to become known, the very repetition of a charge lends it a certain credibility, since people have a tendency to believe that where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
As far as the charge against me is concerned I have a clear conscience.
We are a nation of borders and – I mean, that is one of the main things that the federal government is in charge with, and that is protecting the citizens of the United States and our whole nation.
Directors have this mask of being in control and in charge, but underneath, I’m terrified.
The Right has such antiquated ideas – if they took charge, I think they’d want to close the parks, open the land up for development. It’s an ongoing battle to keep the parks strong.
I’m a real person, and I’m angry. I’m trying to use this celebrity thing to get people some help. AIDS, poverty, racism – I want to be one of the hands that helps stop all that. I’ll put it on my shoulders. I’ll charge it to my account.
Pretty much, the writer’s in charge in theater. Of course you’re in charge with the director, but no one can change your words. People can give you notes, but you don’t have to take them. In Hollywood you take them and you cash your check and that’s your job. It’s very different.
In a world where irony reigns, where you have to separate, protect and laugh at anything that is honest or has an emotional charge, I bet for catharsis. I like to invest emotionally in things. And catharsis, when it touches the emotional vein, can open the doors of even those who protect themselves.
When in doubt, mumble; when in trouble, delegate; when in charge, ponder.
Well, if Democratic members in the House elect Nancy Pelosi as their leader, it’s almost as if they just didn’t get the message from the voters this election. I mean, the voters outright rejected the agenda that she’s been about. And here they’re going to put her back in charge.
Confidence has nothing to do with what you look like. If you obsess over that, you’ll end up being disappointed in yourself all the time. Instead, high self-esteem comes from how you feel in any moment. So walk into a room acting like you’re in charge, and spend your energy on making the people around you happy.
Guardiola disappointed me – he did not treat me with respect. He did not let me become the top scorer in the Bundesliga. For me things were twice as good when Jupp Heynckes was in charge.
Gorillas are still wild creatures. That’s made very clear when you observe them in nature. They charge and perform other displays that are terrifying by design. But they don’t attack unless they feel threatened.
The mistake that was made was, of course, leaving Saddam in charge of affairs over there.
I don’t know if it’s unique to women or not, but I do know that women think that they join a company, and the company will take care of them, as opposed to taking charge.
When you take charge of your own narrative, it gives you a handle on it.
The most important thing you need to know about the Pentagon is that it is not in charge of today’s wars but rather tomorrow’s wars.
It’s not my job to try and alter the director’s style – he’s in charge, and I’ll always give him my trust.
There are so many young women coming up through the ranks. Adele is an amazing singer. Beyonce has great stage presence. She’s just a beautiful woman. I love how everyone has just taken charge of their lives and careers.
I don’t think that just because people will pay a certain amount for a ticket that it’s all right to charge it.
One of the most important things, especially when you’re leaving school, is to realize you’re going to be dealing with a lot of idiots. And a lot of those idiots are in charge of things, so if you’re in an interview and you really want to tell the person off, don’t do it.
My dad always told me that I should have been an actress, but that wasn’t really my main focus. I really love to be the director, the person in charge, making my fantasy come to life. But if I love someone else’s fantasy, I’ll definitely help them bring theirs to life, too.
A lot of times when you’re making a record, you put your head down and charge forward until you’re done. You just hope that the ideas hold up, because you’re kind of lost in your own storm.
You can’t really yell, ‘Charge!’ and hope to have your team behind you unless they agree that the hill you are trying to take is a hill you should take.

The human wish to credit good things as miraculous and to charge bad things to another account is apparently universal.
‘Feminist comedy,’ practically an oxymoron, had a couple of good years after WWII. Chalk it up to the forced female autonomy that occurred during wartime, when Rosie the Riveter went to work in the factories, constructing the Allies’ war machines while taking charge of the finances, the home, and the children.
