Despite the efforts of some parents, children still tend to act out the traditional sex roles of our culture. The child’s peer group may have more of an influence over this than the parents.
As is now painfully obvious from my Twitter ban, boycotts tend to make the shunned more popular.
I don’t get recognized that much. That’s the best part of it. I tend to get things like, ‘You sound a lot like that guy on ‘Deadwood.’ And that’s lovely. I’ve been very fortunate. No giggling, screaming girls. None of that.
Trust your instincts: they tend to see you right. By listening to them, at least you can sleep at night.
Men and women are not the same in the kitchen. Women tend to be uninhibited and instinctive. Men are inconsistent, egotistical show-offs.
I’m not surprised that I tend to go for the dark side. I was a really scared kid, so I think I understand what scares people.
I tend to head for what’s amusing because a lot of things aren’t happy. But usually you can find a funny side to practically anything.
Our pride is tied up in being right. We tend to favor data that confirm our beliefs, so we don’t see alternatives. Too often, leaders practice defense routines that become self-reinforcing.
It’s really rare in life that a situation is as black and white as we tend to paint it.
Religions tend to disappear with man’s good fortune.
Most people lose weight during the season, but I tend to gain weight during the season.
I think IT projects are about supporting social systems – about communications between people and machines. They tend to fail due to cultural issues.
I tend to show everything I do to my family, to check they won’t be offended.
I tend to not watch things that are current. And then if everybody swears it’s amazing then I’ll like watch the whole series in a weekend.
If you love a book you tend not to follow its surface value, you follow the other things in it.
I tend to relate to a character in terms of the arc: what’s interesting is where he starts versus where he ends up.
In both games, you have to think fast. In chess you tend to know all the patterns already, just like in football.
My connection with Brazil is so abstract. My blood and my way of thinking is Brazilian, but that’s it. I don’t tend to go back to the past, and although I have an apartment there, I rarely visit. When I move, I really move.
People tend to look at processing power as how to gauge a piece of hardware is powerful for us.
You have to love your country like an adult loves somebody, not like a child loves its mommy. And right-wing Republicans tend to love America like a child loves its mommy, where everything Mommy does is okay. But adult love means you’re not in denial, and you want the loved one to be the best they can be.
I think I’m good at looking moody. I’m not much good at analysing myself, but I tend to fit the strange and tortured characters.
We tend to put poems into factions. And it restricts our reading.
It cannot be said often enough that science fiction as a genre is incredibly educational – and I’m speaking the written science fiction, not ‘Star Trek.’ Science fiction writers tend to fill their books if they’re clever with little bits of interesting stuff and real stuff.
I use other cookbooks for inspiration. I must say I tend to cook from my own cookbooks for parties.
People tend to like an athlete’s performance, but if you don’t get a feeling for the individual, you’re not very emotive about them.
I like to cook, and I tend to make those one-pot meat dishes of my Hungarian ancestors. Also, I make a great Bolognese.
Fiction writers tend to err either making people more than they are or less than they are. I’d rather err on the side of the former.
Remember: your bosses prefer to keep you in dependent positions. It is in their interest that you do not become self-reliant, and so they will tend to hoard information. You must secretly work against this and seize this information for yourself.
For example, I tend to personally reward myself for specific acts of exceptional discipline.
People tend to remember my performances, not me.
I tend to be a subscriber to the idea that you have everything you need by the time you’re 12 years old to do interesting writing for most of the rest of your life – certainly by the time you’re 18.
Happy music doesn’t tend to move me much.
The older I get, the more I see that there really aren’t huge zeniths of happiness or a huge abyss of darkness as much as there used to be. I tend to walk a middle ground.
Being an actress in Hollywood and being a celebrity tend to feed into one another, but just being a celebrity wouldn’t really be interesting to me.
What I have is a malevolent curiosity. That’s what drives my need to write and what probably leads me to look at things a little askew. I do tend to take a different perspective from most people.
Local companies don’t have to internalize their costs, and few actually do, but they tend to more often because the owners live there and they have to show their face in town, and their kids play with other kids.
I tend not to wear accessories. I’m not one of those gals with a drawerful of amazing jewelry. I don’t even have my ears pierced! But I have one bracelet that never comes off my wrist.
We tend to prefer candidates that don’t talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
Analysis of soil, grave goods and skeletons has been key to our understanding of archaeology and the migration of peoples, as well as their daily lives. But in mainstream history, we tend to stick to documents.
I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them.
I tend to pick on the people I’m closest with because I know they know it’s not personal.
I tend to change research direction every few years or so.
Indeed it can be argued that to make a powerful film you must care about the subject, therefore powerful films tend to be both political and partisan in nature.
There are people I would like to work with. It’s a bit harder, because I live out in the sticks anyway, and plus being in a wheelchair means that I can’t really circulate. So I tend to stick to my own thing.
Perspective in art has receded along with harmony in music: We tend more and more to see the world as a heap of intrinsically meaningless fragments.
I think that people who are famous tend to be underdeveloped in their humanity skills.
I tend to write in the mornings.
Life on the road is very different from a normal, day to day life, and sometimes that surrealistic existence can have an effect on you, you tend to forget that’s not really how things are supposed to be. But there comes a point where you have to pace yourself and find a place in your mind where you can be real.
Censors tend to do what only psychotics do: they confuse reality with illusion.
I tend not to really think about what other people say. I’d rather just try and focus on what I’m doing, try and win basically.
I tend to think you’re fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway.
I don’t differentiate game design and script; it is one and only document. I think that one of the biggest problem with storytelling in games is that people tend to separate story and interactivity. Both should be conceived as one entity, each using the other.
People tend to dwell more on negative things than on good things. So the mind then becomes obsessed with negative things, with judgments, guilt and anxiety produced by thoughts about the future and so on.
Human memory is a marvelous but fallacious instrument. The memories which lie within us are not carved in stone; not only do they tend to become erased as the years go by, but often they change, or even increase by incorporating extraneous features.
As I get older, I tend to put more into family than I used to.
I think things get a lot better after high school. I think the ones that struggle during that time tend to have better experiences after.
When you walk into anybody’s house with footwear, you tend to bring in germs and bacteria.
When we’re anxious we tend to shrink into a defeatist position, curving our shoulders or backs. Learning to stand straight, take a breath and speak slowly helps to project a sense of confidence, relieving some of that anxiety.
I’m hard to pin down. I tend to look different in films.
We tend to think about fascism in terms of the Second World War.
What gets me upset about with the newer players is their lack of intensity. They tend to go through the motions a little bit. They don’t understand that you’ve got to practice the way you play.
So that what you tend to see is someone like a Rush Limbaugh, he’s the classic case because he’s the most successful, he didn’t sort of like come out of his mother’s womb with the highest ratings in the country.
I think too many artists from my era tend to just stamp out a record.
Actors do tend to get pigeonholed. People want to know who you are so they can put you in a box. It’s lovely to be known for such diametrically opposite roles.
I tend to like the most basic pieces with the perfect fit and fabric, like a simple tank.
I tend to eat what I want, which probably isn’t good.
