When a man is extremely lonely, he starts discovering himself.
I have never written a book about my life, despite being offered purses of gold. I made ‘Boxes’ because I wanted to make a sincere depiction of a daughter who has lost her father, or the jealousy one can feel towards a daughter who has become more beautiful than you and whose stepfather starts to take her shopping.
A singer starts by having his instrument as a gift from God… When you have been given something in a moment of grace, it is sacrilegious to be greedy.
I always try to evolve my sound – innovate, improve, be different but still Martin Garrix. It all starts with an idea in my head, which I work on until it starts to shape itself into a track.
I learned you’re going to have to start from the ground up, and honestly, it starts with hard work, hard work in the offseason, and no shortcuts really.
Tipping points are so dangerous because if you pass them, the climate is out of humanity’s control: if an ice sheet disintegrates and starts to slide into the ocean there’s nothing we can do about that.
I live by the philosophy that beauty starts from within, and I make a conscious effort to fill my body with nutrients through the food I eat.
In many ways, Mitt Romney and I are very different. Different starts in life. Different paths to leadership. Different cultures.
Things develop in front of my camera, and then I will try to do the best out of it. I am close, but in most of the scenes, I am trying not to be seen. I think that’s the trick. I think it starts in your heart, goes to the head, and the head puts it into the finger.
I rock up to training, and Folkesy, Steve Folkes – someone that, to be honest, has never paid any interest in my personal life – he comes up to me and starts saying, ‘You’re not turning Muslim are you?’
A blind bloke walks into a shop with a guide dog. He picks the Dog up and starts swinging it around his head. Alarmed, a shop assistant calls out: ‘Can I help, sir?’ ‘No thanks,’ says the blind bloke. ‘Just looking.’
The design process usually starts as a fantasy, with ideas that I dream of and visualize. These ideas become a reality by bringing various ingredients together, from the lifestyle of my bride, her age and sex appeal, to the textures of the finest fabrics and embroideries that we produce in my family factories in India.
Almost every venerable tradition at a men’s club starts out as a joke.

Biodiversity starts in the distant past and it points toward the future.
A chair, it’s like a sculpture. It starts as a thought and then becomes an idea, something I might think about for years. When the time is right, I express it on paper, usually as a simple line in space. Finally, it takes shape.
It starts with you in your own community. Just being kind to one another, being supportive of one another, and being loving and respectful. I can’t tell you how far that will get you in life, just being able to do that.
Postmodernism is, of course, the dead end from which hauntology starts – but one of its role is to denaturalise what postmodernism has taken for granted, to conceive of postmodernism as a condition in the sense of a sickness.
I think there’s a tendency with some women especially to internalize and think, ‘I have to be perfect at everything before I’m going to put myself out there.’ We’ve got to change that mindset. And I think it starts with confidence.
I believe in infrastructure, I believe in investing in your hard assets. Where I think government starts to fail is when it starts getting itself weighed down with the social programs. And I think the American public just feels like a lot of that money is tossed aside and wasted.
‘Shetland’ is adapted from the novel ‘Red Bones.’ The book is based around an archaeological dig, and the mystery starts with the murder of the elderly woman who crofts the land where the dig is happening.
What starts the process, really, are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. If your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance.
You can tell five minutes into it what a girl is after, when she starts asking how much money I make or tells me, ‘I wanna be an actress.’
I used to be a conscious person in terms of dressing, and I wasn’t comfortable with my body, so I wouldn’t dress in a certain way. Now I am comfortable, and nothing bothers me. Once you are comfortable, everything starts looking good.
I just talk just to talk. I like to see what other people think. There’s some things somebody tweets me every day where I’m like, ‘Wow, I never thought of this issue that way.’ It starts great conversation with people who I would never get a chance to actually communicate with.
The challenge starts when you first come to Mumbai. But it’s momentary if you win an award.
Spring starts in January in the Ozarks, lurches on in a complicated way, with spurts and setbacks, until May. Then, early in May, there is a cold spell known as blackberry winter because it comes when blackberries bloom. It is a worrisome week for anyone who farms.
The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.
Diaspora starts about a thousand years from now. Most of human civilisation has moved inside computers; essentially, a major branch of our descendants consists of conscious software.
I believe a nation does not maximize its health care until it starts to ask the hard question: How can we prioritize our expenditures to buy the most health care for the most people? We should not apologize for rationing; we should promote it and advance it.
My day starts at 4:30 A.M., and I sort of have two speeds: fast and stop.
When I put something into motion, the creativity starts to make other people want to jump in, and then a lot of people get employed. I’m just like a shark, in that way. If I stop swimming, I’ll die. But, it really is about that shared experience with people. I’m from theater, and that’s really what theater feels like.
Industrialization starts with the formation of capital – it does not matter how. It can be created by saving, by the state enforcing its will on the people, by the very rich themselves.
I personally think that gentrification happens long before you start seeing white people in formerly people-of-color neighborhoods. It starts happening when we start telling the young, hard-working, quote-unquote ‘smart’ kids that they need to measure success by how far they get away from our communities.
A lot of directors will do a certain amount of storyboarding and pre-vis, and yet when they get on the set, everything starts to change, and they have new ideas.
First and foremost, it’s got to be on the page. It starts with the writing.
I have been running since I was 7. I was trying to restructure the way my body was made instead of trying to master the way I ran. I would get so frustrated with my starts in practices that I would just cry. When I ran, I wouldn’t even try to get out of the blocks, I would just run.
I want the USDA to look like America, and I want it to be the best, most effectively managed agency in the U.S. That starts with good people.
I think a script is great when it starts with the structure and works with the structure without falling into the typical three-act system in which the audience is ahead of the movie. I hate that, but that is like 99% of what I read.
There is a time in every actor’s life when he has to face the self-created hurdle after he starts getting bored of work and suddenly realises that he is left behind.
On the film sets of ‘New Moon’ and ‘Eclipse,’ I feel safe. It’s like you’re in the center of the hurricane, but outside is where it starts to get chaotic.
He that strives to touch the starts, oft stumbles at a straw.
I try not to name too many labels – not because it’s not cool, but because it starts getting political.
I think it starts to feel really redundant when you start to do something the same way over and over again. I don’t think it’s good to become so dependent on a certain writing process.
I remember when we were making ‘They Call It Pro Football,’ which was our ‘Citizen Kane.’ The first line is ‘It starts with a whistle and ends with a gun.’
If you have a great-sounding guitar that’s a quality instrument and a good amp, and you know how to make the guitar talk, that’s the key. It starts with the guitar and knowing what it should sound and feel like.
Charity is a very personal equation, like we say charity begins at home. It starts with your immediate help in the house: the people who work for you.
The hair and makeup is very important in a fashion picture. When I create a look for a girl, it starts with the makeup. Sometimes it takes an entire day to find the look.
I try to construct some kind of backstory for my character so that I have an idea of the life of that character – not just from the moment when the scene starts, but from before.
It’s not a meritocracy until everyone starts with the same opportunities, is it?
It starts in the home environment. If the parents eat bad? Those kids are going to eat bad. If they see their parents stopping at McDonald’s or Pizza Hut, then that’s what they’re going to eat as well.
