When I moved from Armenia to L.A., I moved to North Kingsley Drive. That was my street, that’s where I grew up and I saw everything there. I started skateboarding there. I witnessed homelessness, the poor, you know, I noticed gangs. I learned about friendship.
I haven’t always been into fitness. But I noticed that when I’d be on stage playing a show, I could hardly make it through the fifth song without having to take a breather.
What I noticed, in the short time I’ve been in Chickenfoot, we wound up doing a tour and a live DVD with basically that scoop sound. I was using OD2 for that entire tour. When we went out on this new tour and made the new record, I used the amp in an entirely different way. It was already modified.
Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.
I always noticed that in art school, that grief was considered more profound than happiness. But why?
Early on, my parents noticed an aptitude for being a show-off. I loved attention. I was always saying, ‘Watch me do this, watch me do that,’ which I now realize with my own kids is a phase that most kids go through.
I had seen the ballet of ‘Swan Lake’ as a child but it was as an adult, when I saw a production featuring Erik Bruhn, that I first noticed how significant a part the ever-present threat of violence played. This juxtaposition of great beauty and grace with a backdrop of pure evil stayed with me for years.
I’d read a lot about the psychology around rejection and insecurity, and I had noticed that when people feel insecure or rejected, they behave aggressively, erratically. Especially when you can hide behind a screen name or a profile picture.
I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I’ve gotten older, I think. I noticed that.
When ‘Toast’ got on Netflix, I noticed a difference. It was something I thought that only myself and a few people would find funny, and suddenly it’s on a very large platform. Now it kind of belongs to everyone.
If we win, a lot of guys are going to be noticed. That’s my main focus is winning at the end of the day. If guys get recognized, they get recognized. It’s obviously a great deal individually, but I’m trying to win.
I went to the store and bought lady fingers, when I got home I noticed one of the fingers was missing so I went back to the store and the manager was nice enough to give me the finger.
When the guards noticed my chessboard, they all wanted to play me. And when they started to play me, they always won. The strongest among the guards taught me how to control the center. After that, the guards had no chance to defeat me.
Everybody’s darkness is different. My darkness came from my mom having pancreatitis and almost dyin’. And what I noticed was that the darkness ain’t goin’ nowhere.
Once something gets noticed and people love you, most of the makers want to put you in the same bracket, feeling this is what the audience would want from an actor. But as an artist, I don’t want to be in that space.
I’ve always noticed that girls cry way easier than guys do.
I like to remain somewhat anonymous. I could never handle the whole Britney Spears syndrome of being noticed everywhere.
I’ve noticed people in India have developed a habit of hugging around people. I don’t understand it now. I wanted to be hugged when I was young. Now, if someone wants to hug me, I feel only claustrophobic.
I noticed when I was at Stanford, there was a class called the persuasive technology design class, and it was a whole lab at Stanford that teaches students how to apply persuasive psychology principles into technology to persuade people to use products in a certain way.
Flipping through the ‘Toronto Star’ one day in 2008, I noticed a piece about a phenomenal boxer from the Philippines who had won several different titles in several different weight divisions. Manny Pacquiao’s rise from heart-crushing poverty to the top ranks of his sport was astounding.
We managed to put together a compilation that had some creativity to it. In the meantime I was listening to the free radio stations and I noticed that during their war coverage they were playing these songs born out of the Vietnam War that were all critical of the soldiers.
Upon receiving my notification of acceptance to the university, my parents noticed that they were obliged to submit to the university, among other things, a copy of my official family register. After much mental anguish, they decided to inform me of the secret of my birth.
I first noticed my varicose veins when I was pregnant with my second child, and I’d always thought that it was something that affected older, inactive people. I looked at my lifestyle and thought, ‘I can’t be a candidate for this.’ Eventually, the pain became something I couldn’t ignore.
I got really noticed by record labels and that’s how I got signed.
I have noticed that when a girl or guy falls in love, and they call their girlfriend or boyfriend with cute names, then ‘Honey Bunny’ is one of the most famous ones, so we picked that up and created a song.
One of the things about horror movies that I’ve noticed with the children I’ve worked with is that they have a great time.
I was trying to work, but I noticed that people, if they had any inkling of the idea that I was sick or had MS… people shunned me. No work after that.
The commercial success that came with Anjali Menon’s ‘Bangalore Days’ helped me in getting my work noticed.
Linguistic supersizing is on the increase, and it may show the influence of advertising-speak and corporate jargon on language, in which everything needs to be hyped to get noticed. It means that some of our greatest words are losing their power.
Ever since third grade – I never even noticed it until after the game – people were telling me how crazy my dad is. I think I’m so locked in when I’m playing on the floor, I only hear him maybe during timeouts or when we’re up 20 or 30 and I’m on the bench. But when I’m in the game, I don’t hear him.
Some people may have noticed the new computer shelf at the anchor desk. Rather than phone calls, we want to take real time e-mails, and we’ll be starting that very soon.
I’ve noticed if you look too far ahead, it only works negatively on you.
Some friends of mine who are actors feel directing shuts them down and kills all their impulses, but the worst thing for me is if I feel a director hasn’t noticed.
People tell me the most extraordinary things. I’ve noticed it for years. Perhaps they know I won’t be shocked. Or judgmental.
In hindsight, if I could go back in time and relay a message to my younger self, I would tell him to work on his time keeping, and that the job of a drummer is not to be the one that gets noticed the most on stage, or to be the fastest, or the loudest. Above all, it is to be the timekeeper.
Once we went off into the singles world, I noticed there is something very unique about Brother Nero. People are drawn to him, and he has intangibles and charisma that cannot be emulated or duplicated.
I’ve noticed that the more adventurous and in that mode that I am, it seems that the more the audience really likes it.
If you’re from a certain generation, you basically learn to read with ‘Peanuts.’ It’s sort of the template for the modern strip. Its influence ceased to be noticed because it’s in everything.
I’m not a very gregarious person. I can’t bear attention being called to me in a public place, which is ridiculous in a business that pays you to be noticed.
I don’t analyze what I’m doing. I’ve read convincing interpretations of my work, and sometimes I’ve noticed something that I wasn’t aware of, but I think, at this point, people read into my work out of habit. Or I’m just very, very smart.
And I think that, of course, there is some dysfunction of needing to be liked or noticed or to feel part of things, something going on there for most actors. For some there’s not and I think they really struggle with it.
I definitely think it opened doors for me and what was so fantastic about ‘Downton’ being showed over in the States, was that it helped get me noticed.
There’s always something interesting about comedy teams that have the exact same energy. The one time I really noticed that was Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in ‘Step Brothers.’
One thing that I noticed is having met some former Taliban is even they, as children, grew up being indoctrinated. They grew up in violence. They grew up in war. They were taught to hate. They were, they grew up in very ignorant cultures where they didn’t learn about the outside world.
I’ve noticed that a lot of people in film always seem interested in music videos, like it’s some, like, really exciting thing they’ve always wanted to do or something.
I’ve noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it’s far enough in the future.
You can be a great defensive player, and if you don’t put up splash statistics, then you’re not going to get noticed.
This is how I started playing: I was playing hooky one day, and the coach and the principal walked up behind me. They scared me, and I ran, and they noticed I could run really fast. They wanted me to come out for the football team.
I have had a few people recognise me in public. But I wouldn’t like everybody to recognise me. I can still walk across the street and not be noticed.
During my seven years and eight months as chief Cabinet secretary, I noticed that when policies are slow to move forward, it’s usually because of bureaucrats’ sectionalism and a penchant for sticking with precedents.
