My family is almost exactly like the one in ‘Monsoon Wedding’. We are very open, fairly liberal, loud people.
Men and women aren’t the same. And they won’t be the same. That doesn’t mean that they can’t be treated fairly.
I was fairly solitary. I didn’t like structured learning. People didn’t seem to be my cup of tea.
Mathematicians are fairly cheap.
I never doubted that if I applied myself and tried to learn that I would good at it. I’ve had a lot of lucky turns, no doubt. But it’s actually been a fairly direct line from control-freak, cartoon-obsessed kindergartner to control-freak, cartoon-obsessed executive producer.
What the fossil record does do is to force us to contemplate our place on the planet. We are but one species of several hominids that inhabited Planet Earth, and like our distant cousins who went extinct fairly recently, our time on Planet Earth is also finite.
I don’t know how other people perceive the lives of actors, but my life is fairly ordinary. I go to work, I come home, I put my kids to bed. If I’m home in time for dinner, I have dinner, and then it’s bedtime.
I started out fairly easier but I had the problem of proving that I’m actually talented. People think you have a privilege over others and I had to keep working harder.
Quite a lot of people wanted me to write about my family, I suppose for fairly obvious reasons, and there was always something that would stop me, I thought they were asking me for the wrong motives.
China has made important contribution to the world economy in terms of total economic output and trade, and the RMB has played a role in the world economic development. But making the RMB an international currency will be a fairly long process.
I just want to be treated fairly for my performance.
Records are meant to be broken and they should be broken, but fairly.
The type of person I am, I mean, I’m fairly jealous.
I was a sickly child, and it wasn’t until I was 19 that I realised I was quite a robust, vigorous person. Since then I’ve taken ill health to be an irritating interruption into what is a fairly reliable stream of good health.
The Congress has now become a fairly evenly divided entity.
Reporters have an obligation to report accurately and fairly on all issues they cover, especially ones as important as energy and the environment.
Iranians hate Arabs. They’re a fairly well-educated population and they have centuries of experience with self-government.
I can be fairly boring.
As human beings, we’re powerfully swayed by how much we feel we’re being respected. People comply with agreements if they feel they’ve been treated fairly and lash out if they don’t.
Science is bound, by the everlasting vow of honour, to face fearlessly every problem which can be fairly presented to it.
England is a fairly envious little country and it’s embodied in the press. They don’t like anyone being more distinguished than they are.
I just love doing broader work – I always get asked to do fairly heavy-duty, intense dramas and interesting, psychologically intense characters. But you know, it’s nice to make people laugh sometimes.
I’m somebody who hasn’t really felt fairly confident in my own life.
A record can make an artist sound in tune or make the music sound pretty. But the real test is performing live, and I think we pass fairly well, because people keep asking to see us play.
I’m fairly in tune with what’s private with my husband and with me.
In theory, cars are fairly simple. If they don’t start, it’s either the fuel system or the electrical system. Teach yourself about the path of each in your engine and tracing it is fairly straightforward. But at the beginning, mastering each new system seems like an unreachable shore. The car is effectively a black box.
I love flying; I love aircraft, and you could say I’ve had a love affair with flight since I was a child. I travel a huge amount. I use airports, and as a pilot, I’ve flown in and out of airports thousands of times, so really, I have a fairly broad perspective.
As soon as I began to earn what might be called fairly large sums, I bought a car and began to explore the country around New York.
I’m a fairly neurotic person.
Using these unnamed sources, if done properly, carefully and fairly, provides more accountability in government.
When my father was a young actor, it is absolutely true that the vast majority were fairly middle class. Then all of a sudden, people like Albert Finney burst through and turned all that on its head.
Many people don’t even want to start something until they feel fairly confident that they will be a success at it. But me? I love to throw myself into things headfirst and fail all over the place.
An Englishman will fairly drink as much As will maintain two families of Dutch.
I have good skin, but it’s dry – drier than you would think, considering I have Latin skin. It’s fairly transparent, too, so I’m constantly trying to give it nourishment and moisture, but nothing really holds.
The music industry is transforming fairly rapidly.
I’m not ambitious about my career, but I am ambitious with each job. I can be fairly annoying to work with.
Win or lose, do it fairly.
I’m a fairly undisciplined writer.
People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can’t possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap.
I don’t feel comfortable with luxury, and I try to stay fairly normal.
For commercial books in a genre, readers’ and editors’ expectations may be fairly rigid. Some romance lines, for instance, issue fairly detailed writers’ guidelines explaining exactly what must happen in a book they publish (and what must not).
I think that if you’re going after large banks and large financial companies to try to make sure people are being treated fairly, you’re going to make some enemies, and you’re going to make people uncomfortable.
A life of very, very serious, po-faced films would drive me nuts. I need – and I’m fortunate to have – a fairly varied menu in that respect. I mean, I was shooting ‘Mamma Mia!’ at the same time as I was doing Michael Winterbottom’s ‘Genova’. That was a very, very bizarre summer.
I think I’m a fairly smart person.
I got fairly good grades, but I was bad at woodwork. They said I tried hard, but the result was hopeless.
I have a fairly realistic idea about what my gifts and limitations are.
Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
I think everyone is fairly fed up with mildly dysfunctional people being put under pressure and then behaving abysmally.
We were soon free of the woods and bushes, and fairly upon the broad prairie.
That was in the days when everyone rode a bicycle, and the journal had a circulation of over one hundred and twenty-five thousand weekly, so my verses and illustrations became known to a fairly large public.
I have a fairly pragmatic view on all those bullies that came before, because everybody makes you who you are now.
Picking up new languages is fairly easy since it’s my passion.
There is a lot going on in high schools, and I think what we portray is fairly accurate.
I’ve done golf and fitness shoots, but in those I’m still fairly covered up.
I have a 92 year old father whose doing beautifully who lives in Chicago and a sister and a nephew and a niece and I love coming back and try to do so fairly often.
I’m fairly conservative on social issues, but not extremely conservative and not reactionary.
Yeah, two or three weeks ago I was fairly snappy. I’ve never been injured before and this year it feels like I’ve hardly played.
I’m pretty low-key. I travel fairly light, especially on the tour.
Real change begins with citizens registering to vote, becoming active and engaged in their communities, and casting their ballot at every election for those who will fairly and accurately represent them.
I lived a fairly average, anonymous small-town life till I got the idea to do Nine Inch Nails. Then I locked myself in a studio for a year, and then got off the tour bus two years after that, and I didn’t know who I’d turned into.
I’m probably an overcompensating introvert. I live in Hollywood, but I don’t go to parties where I have to work the room. I could do that, but I don’t want to… I try and stay the same and live a fairly normal life.
When I listen to and play the songs from ‘Narrow Stairs’ now, that record feels like a record where we had established a style that arguably was more our own than it was in the beginning. Going into that record, I felt a lot more confident in my songwriting. It was a fairly prolific time for me.
It’s always nice to have people love you, but I’d just like to be judged fairly.
Traditional charity is still fairly focused on how it makes donors feel as opposed to outcomes for people that need help.
A journalist enjoys a privileged position. In exchange for not being able to participate in the rough-and-tumble issues of a community, we are given license to observe it all, based on the understanding that we’ll tell everyone what happens fairly and squarely. That’s harder than it sounds.
