I can’t begin to describe how humiliating it is for a law-abiding citizen to be cross-examined in a court of law for a crime he hasn’t committed.
The producers probably won’t like this, but I always describe her as Peppermint Patty on acid.
I suppose my job is to describe spaces that are honest to me. And the goal, I suppose, is that the listener can hear themselves in some way in that song and also, in some way, hear me. And so if the listener is able to identify with my honesty then I’m being the most helpful I can possibly be.
If you understand something well, you can represent it, describe it, embody it in several ways. Indeed, if you can only present it in one way, then your own mastery is likely to be tenuous.
I know I did ‘Establishment Blues,’ and I said ‘This is not a song it’s an outburst’ and I’d play it, I never did describe it as a rant – R-A-N-T – but the thing is it’s exactly that. Sometimes it sounds like that, but there’s a lot out there on the everyday man, on the plight of the little guy.
William Andrews Clark was caught in a bribery scandal during a campaign for the U.S. Senate – he was said to describe the Montana legislators this way: ‘I never bought a man who wasn’t for sale.’
You really can’t say enough about ‘Blade Runner.’ For that movie to have such a long life – you can’t describe what a beautiful feeling that is. Initially, the movie was out of theaters in something like two weeks. But the people that wanted it back – the fans – they really saved it.
I think we were the first picture to cut on Final Cut Pro. So we were the guinea pigs, because we got a deal on the system. But with that comes all sorts of technological problems I couldn’t begin to describe.
I don’t think I would describe my sense of humor. Doesn’t sound like the kind of thing I’d do.
I would describe myself as eclectic: Bohemian in thought and conservative in action – or maybe it’s the other way around.
I’m kind of private and I keep things inside a lot, but it’s been so wonderful to realize that people care about you in a very deep way and that there is some bond between an actor and his audience. I don’t even know how to describe that feeling.
At this high moment, ability failed my capacity to describe.
As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.
I tend to describe recurring themes as being part of a writer’s DNA – something so deeply embedded in us that even we don’t notice it until we’ve written three or four books.
I’d describe myself as a Christian who doesn’t believe in God.
If ever there was a misnomer in the political lexicon, surely ‘values voters’ is the all-time champ. The use of this term to describe the so-called base of the Republicans’ so-called party mainly refers to an extremist, ultra-conservative, strain of so-called Christian conservatives.
We are the recorders and reporters of facts – not the judges of the behaviors we describe.
I see the love in my child’s eyes when he sees me, and I know it’s gigantic. As an older person, I’ve been in love before, and I’ve loved, but this is really an immense, out-of-control-proportion amount of love that you can’t even describe.
It might sound strange to describe New Yorkers as insecure when they delight so much in the cult of success. The display of wealth here, especially new wealth, is indeed wonderfully frank, from the super-long limousines which clog up the roads to the voluptuous fur coats that adorn both men and women.
Seeing myself as female every time I look in the mirror is painful in a way I will never be able to describe.
People ask me to describe myself, but it’s a very personal thing. You don’t feel comfortable.
The Pirate Bay has its own trackers. We have more info on the torrents since people upload them to the site and describe them.
Language cannot describe the scene that followed; the shouts, oaths, frantic gestures, taunts, replies, and little fights; and therefore I shall not attempt it.
Be able to describe anything visual, such as a street scene, in words that convey your meaning.
A lot of people think they need to give up nature to become adults but that’s not true. However, you have to be careful how you describe and define ‘nature.’
The mainstream media describe Antifa as ‘antifascist,’ but, in fact, it is a far-left paramilitary-style movement of anarchists and communists agitating for a revolution.
Nowadays I’d describe myself as earnest, terribly earnest. I’m the person who wants everybody in the room to feel important and happy.
You marvel at the economy and this choice of words. How many ways can you describe the sky and the moon? After Sylvia Plath, what can you say?
At the end of the day, I’m a playmaker. That’s how I describe myself.
I think there’s something in people where they often want to describe their personal experiences, but when it’s regarding wealth, they’re obviously very guarded.
I profess accurately to describe native Africa – Africa in those places where it has not received the slightest impulse, whether for good or evil, from European civilisation.
‘Blade Runner’ is such a unique film. How do you describe a diamond? I don’t think you should ever touch it again.
Because I’m married and have kids, I feel like I sometimes get pegged as a choirboy or something, but I wouldn’t exactly describe myself that way.
I describe my own music as epic love pop.
I think that clothes and accessories define and describe who we are. I can’t see many differences between them; they are indeed a way to introduce ourselves to other people, and they help us transmitting a message to others.
Of course, I write crime stories, and I have to describe violence and the aftermath of violence.
Today’s particle physics describe light as a crumple in space, and we may have deformed space in such a way that they noticed something peculiar – and they had the ability to investigate it.
I think it’s challenging trying to describe my sound. Not because I’m making some experimental martian music, but because it’s a little broader. The things that you’ve heard are only fragments and small fractions of what you’re going to hear.
I like to describe my style as S&M chic with a little hood-rat appeal.
I was raised on Nirvana and flannel shirts and Rage Against the Machine, and I sort of describe my youth as rebellious and always fighting the system.
I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, ‘black feminist’ does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it’s just… womanish.
Being asked to describe what ‘post-racial’ means is a bit like being asked to describe a leprechaun, cold fusion or unicorns: we know what is meant, but, if we are willing to be honest, we also know that none of the four describe something real, something tangible, something true.
Without sounding overly sentimental about the process, I’d say trying to describe how you tend to conceive of a book is like describing how you tend to fall in love.
I believe now that I’ve cemented my spot as the best swimmer in the world, and I can’t describe how proud that makes me. I just want to keep working hard and hopefully just inspire more youngsters to keep swimming and encourage South Africans to become a winning nation.
I wouldn’t bother to describe me. I’m Eartha Kitt.
If you think of a solo artist, you normally know them by their name; you don’t normally describe their kind of music. You just say, ‘It’s so and so, or it’s so and so.’ But with bands, everyone feels an obligation to categorize them.
There was a thing on Facebook that said, ‘Describe George Clooney’s wedding in three words,’ and my answer was, ‘Not invited again.’
I would describe Los Angeles as actually not having taste. In New York, there’s taste. But you have to remember that taste is censorship. It’s a form of restriction.
I like crisp words like ‘blimey’, ‘yikes’, ‘crap’ which describe consternation, embarrassment, and sometimes wonderment without making me type so many alphabets.
For me Japan was my dream and the WWE was my goal, so making it to the WWE and actually standing in that ring for the first time in front of millions of people nationally and tens of millions of people internationally, I was there, I was at the show! it was so real, that’s the best way I can describe it.
I would describe myself as emotional and highly strung. If something upsets me, it really upsets me. If something makes me angry, I get really angry. But it’s all very upfront. I can’t hide it. I’m also loyal and I hope I’m fun.
I always wonder about the word ‘intense.’ ‘Intense’ is used to describe women. Guys are intense, but they don’t get described that way.
It’s difficult to describe the weirdness of speaking to a man who appears to be perfectly in control of his faculties, who can deliver off-the-cuff repartee, and yet who is actually utterly disconnected from who he is.
I was 13 years old at music school talking to my teacher. I can’t quite remember what it was I was trying to describe, but I do remember my music teacher saying to me, ‘Do you have synesthesia?’ In hindsight, it seems a little presumptuous of her to think a little boy in Essex would know what synesthesia was.
