There are really two types of laughter on the part of the spectator. There is the laughter of recognition – which means seeing things you’re familiar with and laughing at yourself. But there’s also hysterical laughter – a way of dealing with the things we see that upset us.
I thought I’d get over being insecure if I became famous, but it hasn’t happened. It just gets worse, really. You get more and more on edge, more nervous. These are all the things I’m dealing with. You think if you get famous, fear will go away and problems will go away. But they don’t.
I’m in favor of dealing with Iran and dealing with the nuclear issue, but I’m not in favor of a bad deal.
When you are making a movie, there are a zillion cooks in the kitchen, and you don’t always get what you want to do. The story can always go in a different direction than what you would like. You compromise, and there is dealing and bickering.
Where do we enroll in Life 101? Where are the classes dealing with the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, the failure of a relationship? Unfortunately, those lessons are mostly learned through trial by fire and the school of hard knocks.
I could be rearrested at any time; there could be attempts of my life. I have no idea. You are dealing with totally unpredictable people and a nation where the rule of law means nothing.
Anyone who is dealing with any issue or any illness whatsoever, without a support network, chances are the person will not survive.
I feel like in America, we don’t have a kid problem. You think about all these issues that these kids are dealing with, we have an adult problem. We have adults that do not place the priority on our kids to get a valuable education.
I don’t have any rift with President Obama at all. I think that he is operating in an entirely different arena than I’m dealing in. I represent my constituents in the Fourth Congressional District. I’m looking out admittedly for much more narrow interests. I represent the fourth-poorest district.
If you’re dealing with criminals, they’re not going to want to go to court.
I’ve never been what they call a ‘pure gallerist.’ I find that somewhat pretentious, honestly – I’m an art dealer. I like to show great artists of our time, but I also like dealing. And I think they reinforce each other.
I never paid attention when the LP became the cassette and the cassette became the CD and now we’re dealing, you know, with MP3s. It’s okay.
I’ve trained with trainers in L.A., and they get complacent. They’re used to dealing with celebrity egos, so they cotton-wool you a bit.
What I’m dealing with is so vast and great that it can’t be called the truth. It’s above the truth.
I know about homophobia in the music industry – not just in hip-hop. Obviously, we’re dealing with homophobia in hip-hop; we’re dealing with homophobia in the black community.
Being a developmental psychologist didn’t make me any better at dealing with my own children, no. I muddled through, and, believe me, fretted and worried with the best of them.
I’m just dealing with what’s happening, with what is. Joy, happiness, good, bad, all those terms are meaningless to me.
To my mind, the best SF addresses itself to problems of the here and now, or even to problems which have never been solved and never will be solved – I’m thinking of Philip K. Dick’s work here, dealing with questions of reality, for example.
It’s basically taking a 911 call, bringing them on stage and dealing with it just like when I was a Chicago policeman for 12 years. I personally become involved. Where Jerry lets people tell their story and lets everything happen on stage, I kind of go after the bad guy and protect the little guy.
Most of us, I think, are conscious of history swirling around outside the door, but when we’re in the house, we’re usually not dealing with history. We’re not thinking about history.
Dealing with negative comments is part of this job, and I’ve had to develop a thick skin, though some days it’s easier than others.
Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They’re only powerful when you got your back turned.
When I was dealing with a lot of Iraqis, lies were constant; people constantly lied to you. It’s a part of their culture. They wanted to please you so much, they were willing to lie to you to please you.
No one bothered reading the books and understanding – and again, I’m not being high-falutin’ about it – but I think our books are great literature with great metaphors of real life dealing with fears and hopes.
I hate to say there are female and male ways of dealing with power, because I think each of us has a male and a female part. But based on my own experience, women will tend to be inclusive, to reach out more, to care a little more.
I don’t think anyone can accept us being 51st in the country dealing with fourth-grade math scores and reading scores in the fourth and sixth grades that are close to the bottom. That’s not acceptable. It’s not acceptable to the people of Alabama.
The main reason for the failure of the modern medical science is that it is dealing with results and not causes. Nothing more than the patching up of those attacked and the burying of those who are slain, without a thought being given to the real strong hold.
To suggest that immigration is the exclusive domain of the federal government, disallowing partnerships with local law enforcement, defies the will of Congress, not to mention reality. Numerous local jurisdictions have laws on the books dealing with immigration in a variety of ways.
I suffer from depression and anxiety, and having a show and having a character that portrays a young woman who is dealing with that and the consequences of it – how it affects her friendships and her relationships with her mom and her sister – it’s beautiful to see that.
So the first thing you need to do about conflict is to prevent it, and the best way of preventing it is by dealing with the question of poverty.
Every time I step out on that field, I’m 100 percent. My teammates know that. They know what I’m out there dealing with. I know what I’m out there dealing with. But when it comes to my mindset, I’m 100 percent.
You’re only dealing with whatever you know, which is a very small part of it and later on it’ll look like it has something to do with the period. Obviously, the artists have something to do with one another. They tend to set up certain common qualities among themselves.
Today we’re dealing with metropolitan Shanghai, metropolitan New Delhi or Paris. If we’re competing at that level, our diversity, that richness of people coming from so many different backgrounds, is one of our greatest advantages.
Weight gain can happen at any point in time, and it is something that you are dealing with anyway, and it is OK. It is ridiculous to have this dictate your very being because I have always said that it is not the outside that defines who you are.
People who are different are constantly dealing with families who don’t understand them.
Bullying has existed forever. Everyone has dealt with it, and teenagers, regardless of where they are, are dealing with the same stuff growing up.
If we have reason to believe someone is preparing an attack against the U.S., has developed that capability, harbours those aspirations, then I think the U.S. is justified in dealing with that, if necessary, by military force.
My key to dealing with stress is simple: just stay cool and stay focused.
I think we all have mechanisms that we use, each of us individually, to deal with pain that we’ve had or just dealing with life or whatever. Everyone’s story is different, but we all have some kind of mechanism that we use to deal with stuff, that we create pretty young.
At some point we must make a decision not to allow the mere threat of charges of cultural or religious insensitivity to stop us from dealing with this evil.
It began to really eat away with me that in the ’60s the federal government, desiring to help poor moms who were dealing with deadbeat dads, decided, ‘We’ll help: we’ll give a check for every child you can have out of wedlock.’
In ‘Silence,’ there was no improvisation at all; really, you’re dealing with a script and a 17th century way of speaking.
Business reporting is not dealing with objects, it is dealing with relationships between objects.
In doing what I’m doing, you have to be sensitive to the fact that you’re not dealing with numbers, you’re dealing with people. And I will continue to be sensitive to that.
An important part of leadership is being able to hold two things in your mind at once: Dealing with the reality, whatever it may be, and focus on hope for the future. Any leader helping an organization through challenges needs to be able to do both.
You should be able to voice your opinion and respect the voice of the other side. You should be willing to educate yourself and know what it is you’re dealing with.
When I’m dealing with the 18th century, as I do in ‘The Firebird,’ the difficulty isn’t only finding what a woman did, it’s finding her at all. Most of the sources I’m dealing with – letters and memoirs and written reports of the day – have been written by men.
The U.S. military has done a phenomenal job of creating these facilities almost over-night and dealing with these sworn enemies of America with more respect and dignity than they ever would have considered according our officers had they captured any.
