I didn’t start my label out of a business perspective. I did it because I wanted to create a platform where new musicians can have the chance to get into a studio, work with each other, and get their music noticed by a large audience.
You’ve probably noticed how when someone says hello or smiles at you, your automatic reaction is to say hello or smile back.
This thing happened where I noticed anytime I got together with four friends or more, the conversation goes to food.
I was fortunate enough to have a great career with CMLL, which played a large role in helping me get noticed by WWE.
One of the things I noticed is that people really change when they realize their expiration date is coming, and they know what it is. Most of us don’t: we just hope we can live as long as we can and do as much good as we can.
One of the things I have noticed about my novels is that they all concern people who can’t quite bring themselves to tell the truth about their own lives… I’ve come to realise that this interest in damaged, untellable stories comes from my parents.
Yogurt sauce, as you may have noticed by now, is a regular presence in my recipes – that’s because it has the ability to round up so many flavours and textures like no other component does.
I grew up Protestant. My dad was a Charismatic pastor of the Families of God denomination. Often, we noticed that – during a lot of his evangelistic-type services – that some of the Amish and Old Order Mennonite couples would come and stand across the street from the church and look in the door.
I’ve noticed one in five ideas never amount to anything.
Years ago, I noticed one thing about economics, and that is that economists didn’t get anything right.
I’m like a twenty-two-year-old kid in a new band trying to get noticed and break through, because the vast majority of people have never seen me play live.
I noticed the more muscle I put on, the more cushion and padding I had, the better my performances were getting. I decided I could be this little, stick-thin thing out there and be hurt all the time, or I could show my athleticism, and if it comes with a little bit of weight on the side, it is what it is.
I noticed that I got a better space in the line in Starbucks when I had my tattoo. People associate tattoos with a certain edge. Then I open my mouth, and something completely different comes out.
One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that young players – I mean 10- and 12-year-olds – really like my guitar style. There’s something in my guitar style that they totally can latch onto and learn quickly, and then go from there to your Yngwie Malmsteens or your Steve Vais or whatever.
So I am one of those bass players who can do something and musically, it was back then and now it is even more, if you noticed on the new album, I am not playing all the time anymore.
I think when I was pregnant with my first child – he’s about 10 or 11 now – I first noticed changes in my skin, which can make you panic a bit. I had a bit of melasma.
I have noticed encouraging signs in the fight against religious intolerance, and I am impressed by the outstanding degree of human rights activism in India.
You can never get silence anywhere nowadays, have you noticed?
My wife noticed that I wrote really good complaint letters about faulty products and that I could get anything I wanted out of these big corporations, and she said that I was a good writer and that I should go to my dad and ask him for help.
If I get noticed for my individual performance, that’s what happens. Other than that, I’m just trying to win the game.
I remember being on a plane a few years ago. And me and this woman sat coldly next to each other for a cross-country trip, fighting over the arm rest the whole time. But then, about an hour before we landed, we noticed that we both had on ‘Housewives,’ and suddenly, we were best friends.
Have you ever noticed that when you must struggle to hear something, you close your eyes?
I teach MBAs. And I noticed, starting a few years after China joined the World Trade Organization, that a lot of my students were no longer employed. They were still coming to get their MBA, but they’d lost their jobs. And I started to ask questions why. And, at that point, all roads were leading to Beijing.
I won’t work with an unknown banner or director. I want to work with good, known people so my efforts can be noticed.
I’ve noticed that girls between like 20 and 30 seem to know ‘Can’t Hardly Wait.’ I got the goth kids who know ‘Buffy.’ I got this wide spectrum of people who range from like 8 to 13 who seem to know ‘Scooby-Doo.’ Then I get the international people who seem to know ‘Austin Powers’ and ‘The Italian Job.’
I’ve always been one to kind of, I’ve always wanted to be the guy. I watched, my favorite player growing up was LeBron. One thing I noticed with him was, it’s always on him at the end of the game.
Human nerves quickly get accustomed to the most unusual conditions and circumstances and I noticed that quite a number of men actually fell asleep from sheer exhaustion in the trenches, in spite of the roaring of the cannon about us and the whizzing of shrapnel over our heads.
Women’s Lib? Poor little things. They always look so unhappy. Have you noticed how bitter their faces are?
There’s more to anybody. Just because you haven’t noticed it, that’s your problem, that’s not mine.
My story wasn’t one of those cliched stories of being an ugly duckling, I had a pretty good time at school. But then I think being six foot by the age of 15 meant that I couldn’t help but be noticed, and that was when my physical being felt quite painful – I could not any longer walk into a room without being noticed.
I’ve practically grown up with FC Bayern Munich since the age of 11. In my case, a talent scout noticed me when I was playing for a local youth team at Gern in Munich.
In all of my looking at happiness, one thing I noticed right away is that the opposite of happiness isn’t unhappiness or even depression, it’s anxiety. It is something that can constantly block our happiness, or our chance to reach that sort of meditative state in our work or our home lives.
Actors like me endeavour to look for great roles and portraying them to the best of our ability. At times, it’s noticed; at times, it’s not.
In Fall Out Boy, I noticed that I wasn’t putting all that much soul into it. It was just kind of screaming, I guess. I was just dying to get out of there!
I feel that the movie in which I’ve played a cop or army man have been bigger hits. That’s why people remember me more as a cop or army person. I’ve even noticed that a lot of films in which I’ve played a variety of wonderful roles haven’t done well.
I noticed that no matter where I went in the country, there was this group of questions that got asked. I would track them and keep them in categories. Like body image, school, family, friendship, you name it, the emotional life of a teenage girl.
After watching films of Jim Brown, I noticed that he never ran out of bounds. He always ran North and South and that’s what I turned my style into. I was a North and South runner.
I don’t know whether other asthma sufferers find this, but I’ve noticed that even when I’ve got my asthma under control, I often develop another problem such as an ear, chest or sinus infection and sometimes even joint pains.
The artists with lyrical content and who say something seem to outlast the fad rappers – I always noticed that.
If you have another actor like Ranveer Singh, same energy and same vibe, you probably won’t look at that person. There are a lot of people who can rap, it’s just a different personality or sound that gets noticed.
Darwin didn’t walk around the Galapagos and come up with the theory of evolution. He was exploring, collecting, making observations. It wasn’t until he got back and went through the samples that he noticed the differences among them and put them in context.
The thing I noticed about Jack was when we did a reading of the script, just to warm up.
I have noticed… that men usually leave married women alone and are inclined to treat all wives with respect. This is no great credit to married women.
I would take up any small job on the sets, just so that I could hang around with the hope of getting noticed.
The one thing I think I’ve noticed about shows that are supposed to be funny on television is that they’ve sort of become routinized, so there’s an awful lot of mannerisms and joke lines that are sort of there to trigger laughter, rather than give actors a chance to play a moment.
Characters actors don’t usually get noticed until they’re about 38 or so.
I think writers have to be proactive: they’ve got to use new technology and social media. Yes, it’s hard to get noticed by traditional publishers, but there’s a great deal of opportunity out there if you’ve got the right story.
I’ve noticed that women who pursue recognition rather than attention have a different relationship with aging. They’re not dropping tens of thousands of dollars on plastic surgery. When they have to choose between looking older – or looking odd – they’ll go with older.
I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jollier than the people who have to wait for them.
In my experience, with very few exceptions – I am, as it happens, one of the exceptions – the one thing that most editors don’t want to do is edit. It’s not nearly as conducive to a successful career as having lunch out with important agents or going to meetings where you get noticed.
