I always dreamed of being an entertainer. So, my whole life to some extent, or from the age that I can remember onwards, I knew I was going to have to make some sort of attempt at being noticed for being funny.
I go to a restaurant with a group of women and pray that we can order lunch without falling into the semi-covert business of collective monitoring, in which levels of intake and restraint are aired, compared, noticed: ‘What are you getting? Is that all you’re having? A salad? Oh, please.’
There was a time when we had a nice little run: Eve, Lil’ Kim, Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill, Remy Ma, Da Brat – it goes on. But what I noticed is that a lot of talented females in hip-hop came out of a male camp.
One of the things I noticed more in this draft than in any recent drafts was the importance of the character issue. Players who had baggage, like Justice, fell much farther than his talent dictated. But a lot of coaches didn’t want to take the chance.
Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?
If ‘Soorma’ is getting me noticed, I have the director, Shaad Ali, to thank for it.
I’ve noticed in the Caribbean culture, the women aren’t submissive – they’re very fiery.
The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.
The world hasn’t noticed, but R&B has shifted. It’s changing course.
I noticed this process of waking, and predicted with terrifying logic that one of these years not far away I would be awake continuously and never slip back, and never be free of myself again.
With great artists like Elvis, sometimes the songs weren’t the greatest thing about him. When I tried to perform some of the songs, I noticed some of the tunes weren’t all that brilliant, but it was the performance that sold them.
Thrillers rely on certain archetypes and our familiarity with them is quietly driving all of the tension. So it becomes an interesting challenge from the score perspective, to enhance that tension without being noticed, just like those archetypes.
Moby Dick – that book is so amazing. I just realized that it starts with two characters meeting in bed; that’s how my book begins, too, but I hadn’t noticed the parallel before, two characters forced to share a bed, reluctantly.
Some people feel stronger in their 30s. I’m 34. I’ve noticed I do feel stronger now than when I was 24. But I’m also more sore in the mornings. If I have a bump or a bruise from practice, it takes me a little bit more than just an ice bath to get rid of it. At the end of the week, my body’s ready for a day off.
After college, I really looked at every single shot that I shot. Pretty much every shot in my sophomore year and my junior year and just watched my form. I watched how I shot it from 3, and I just noticed I was a very undisciplined shooter.
I haven’t worked on a lot of different shows, but from just watching different shows I’ve noticed that there isn’t necessarily on every show that love of crafting an episode that has the three part act structure that comes around and actually tells a complete story.
A friend of mine and I would go to this dirty little bar in Toronto that has karaoke every Tuesday night, and one night, we noticed that the only other person in there was Derek Jeter.
As an actor, I had noticed very vividly that very few directors know how to direct actors because they haven’t done it.
I’m only 5ft 2in so a significant increase in weight is really going to be noticed.
When I came to Delhi and noticed an insider view, I felt what it was, and I was surprised to see it. It seemed as if dozens of separate governments are running at the same time in one main government. It appeared that everyone has its own fiefdom.
Nothing should be noticed.
The music business is rougher than the movie business. In film you get noticed in a small role, even in a movie that bombs. But in records you better have that hit or else it’s ‘See you later.’
A room containing Philip Roth, I have noticed, begins hilariously to whirl and pulse with a mix of rebelliousness and constriction that I take to be Oedipal.
Before I got pregnant, I was doing Pilates a couple times a week, and I actually loved Pilates. I noticed a difference with my core, which is my problem area, so that was nice. For me, I don’t do a lot of cardio. I lift more weights.
When I came into the England team I was always being asked whether I ‘really’ wanted to be a wicketkeeper. It was as though no one had noticed the work I’d already put in to make myself one.
When Destiny’s Child released their first record, I don’t think I even noticed. I was still at school, and I had my own life in Houston.
I’m not supposed to talk about the snail. The snail is, well, congratulations to whoever noticed it. It’s supposed to be a thing where you gotta look for it in every episode, and it’s there three times in every episode.
In my 41 years of experience in our film industry I’ve noticed that people make a lot of promises in the evening which they promptly forget in the morning.
Ramona was originally an accidental character I added to the Henry Huggins books because I noticed that none of the characters had siblings. I added Ramona as Beazus’ pestering little sister.
I noticed a lot of dual-threat quarterbacks in the shotgun or in the pistol, a lot of them don’t last forever. I want to be in the pocket.
YouTube is an amazing platform for young musicians – although it’s harder to get noticed now that everyone is on it.
When Thomas and John Knoll launched Photoshop 1.0 in 1990, the software couldn’t even handle color images. But their offerings got the startup noticed by Apple and Adobe, both of whom became key to the fledgling company’s later success.
I’ve noticed with my own kids, it seems like they have so much more homework than I did.
I mostly get noticed in shopping malls, airports, red states. The Cheesecake Factory. I am more likely to get stopped in San Antonio or Oakland than in New York or L.A.
You’ve probably noticed already that I’m dressed like a grown-up… I apologize to the Academy, and I promise that I will never do it again.
I noticed the drama majors on campus when I was at Notre Dame. They just seemed to be freer spirits than the rest of us. There was joy in their work; they were the only ones studying something whose work made them happy. I envied that.
I don’t have a steady relationship. That’s something that women in politics deal with. For some reason, men in politics seem to have a larger charisma, and women drop around their feet. I haven’t noticed that so much for me.
Kublai noticed this uncommon perception that Marco Polo has, with the idea to explain and talk about his country so vividly that he can see it.
I’m the worst person to ask about how to get noticed. It took me 25 years.
It’s good to be noticed.
I do a lot of damage to my hair every day because of my work. I just noticed this huge change. It started getting thinner and it started falling out. I hit 30, and I literally felt like I was balding!
It’s a slow process, getting hired by WWE. First, you get noticed; you’re on their radar. Then you come for a tryout. Then you wait to hear back. There’s the physical. It’s a very long process.
Wherever I’ve been, and I’ve been to over 20, maybe 25, countries in Africa, I’ve noticed how their backbone is broken. They don’t have any confidence in themselves. They always think a white man will solve their problems from outside for them.
I think it’s a huge a opportunity for me, because I am part of a film that has stars like Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol. It will grab eyeballs and I will get noticed, too. I hope ‘Race 3’ opens more doors for me.
Years ago I played different female roles in ‘Grand Indian Comedy Show,’ but as it was not as popular show as ‘TKSS’ and ‘CNWK,’ it never got noticed.
Given the amount of work and time my mum devoted to my sister, it left me a lot of time to play on my own. I mean, I played with kids in the street all the time, too – I definitely wasn’t denied a childhood. But I do wonder whether, in a sense, acting was my way of getting noticed.
I noticed that there are no B batteries. I think that’s to avoid confusion, cause if there were you wouldn’t know if someone was stuttering. ‘Yes, hello I’d like some b-batteries.’ ‘What kind?’ ‘B-batteries.’ ‘What kind?’ ‘B-batteries!’ and D-batteries that’s hard for foreigners. ‘Yes, I would like de batteries.’
I noticed a lot of guitar players neglected the rhythm part of rhythm guitar and decided I would try to focus in that. As my skill and knowledge of the instrument grew, I found lead started to come naturally. Sometimes I play guitar like a frustrated drummer. Ha ha!
My career is too short for there to be any turns! But I would say that not everyone is noticed and accepted in their debut films. I was accepted both by the industry and the audience.
‘Aiyyaa’ flopped, but it got me noticed.
I’ve noticed that worrying is like praying for what you don’t want to happen.
One thing I noticed when I moved to America, people don’t really know about me, so a lot of them question why I look like a boy or dress like a boy, or why I didn’t have longer hair, or what’s with the tattoos.
Candidly, I’ve noticed that throughout my career, whether in offices that are majority male or majority female, the men are quick to advocate for themselves for a higher starting salary or more pay bumps over time.
