I’m very interested in buildings that have meaning for a particular place. I suppose it feels slightly rude to me if the imposed style that lands in a place is almost stronger than the place. For me it’s about inventing a solution for each place; if people then want to know who did it, then great.
Scotland is one of my favourite places to perform: it’s really something special. Scottish audiences are just so enthusiastic; their approach to dance music just feels similar to my own somehow.
I have come to the conclusion that none of us in our generation feels as guilty about sin as we should or as our forefathers did.
Of course, there’s a certain type of person who feels that anything which becomes mainstream has to be rejected immediately. And that’s part of the indie-alternative snobbery and hierarchy and elitism.
It feels like now I – you know, I’m almost 80 years old – I can sit back and retire, you know, and say, ‘Look, our young people are taking over.’ And that’s great. That’s what I’d like to see.
Losing sucks. I don’t think most people understand how bad it feels.
Proper love should be utterly supportive and comfortable, and it feels like a raincoat or a jacket potato.

I’ve always said that I’ve been acting my whole life, and everyone always told me, ‘you should be an actress professionally.’ I’ve heard that my whole life, so it’s kind of cool to think, ‘yeah, they were right.’ I can do this and I’m good at it, and that feels really good.
All the work that I do, whether or not it ends up being commercially successful or not, feels like the most important thing to me while I’m doing it. I try to take something away from every project, and so they all feel like milestones for one reason or another.
I don’t think anyone ever feels acknowledged enough.
It’s definitely more fun playing a bad guy. It feels a lot better than playing one of the good guys.
Too often the pressure for popularity, on children and teens, places an economic burden on the income of the father, so mother feels she must go to work to satisfy her children’s needs. That decision can be most shortsighted.
The sitcom’s traditional role has been to comfort the viewer who feels burdened by the unreality of American expectations.
There is something really horrific for any human being who feels he is being consumed by other people. I’m talking about a writer’s critics, who don’t address what you’ve written, but want to probe into your existence and magnify the trivia of your life without any sense of humor, without any sense of context.
I think it’s important that the rest of the world know that we’re not all the same and that we don’t all have the sort of arrogance it feels like they’re perceiving from our leaders.
I’m a native New Yorker. Everything to do with New York feels like my family.
I was quite emotional when I finished my lap, but had to wait for other drivers to cross the line to hear whether I’d actually done it. It feels very special, but I acknowledge that the old master, Nigel Mansell, took his 14 poles from only 16 races.
Resolutions are popular because everyone feels they could use a little improvement.
When you see a 14-year-old boy who has never known what peace looks like for a day in his life, there’s part of you as a human being that feels some degree, you can say, compassion for the fact that these boys have known war, famine, violence and death from the day they were born.
My ‘new’ knee now feels like a bionic knee compared with my old one.
Someone like Amy Poehler, I don’t know, but I feel like I know her. I think everyone feels like they know her.
Too much of British business and industry feels similarly secure in the warm embrace of the European single market and is failing to recognise that today’s great export opportunities lie in the developing world, particularly in Asia.
I taught myself how to play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the drums, and I kind of fake doing both of them. But drumming comes more natural to me, and it just feels better.
For most Americans, my Chinese music feels like a novelty, and it’s not what it is for me.
We all drive differently and have different styles. For me I need a car I can develop beneath me and feel comfortable in. If the car feels neutral and unbalanced it doesn’t work for me.
The whole business of being an actor is to explore, from research to shooting to why you do it. You’re trying to see why people do what they do and how it feels to do what they do.
Capital goes where it feels comfortable and warm, and if it’s cold, it runs to a country which gives it better weather.
Los Angeles is much like Mumbai, the film industry rules the city over most other professions, so it feels like home.

If the large power voluntarily abstains from using its full power or feels the strategic situation to be such that it cannot do so, it in effect loses the advantage of being a big power.
I stopped worrying about competition in contemporary art. It feels a little bit more pure. That’s where I am, one step back.
There is a lovable quality about the actual tools. One feels so kindly to the thing that enables the hand to obey the brain. Moreover, one feels a good deal of respect for it; without it the brain and the hand would be helpless.
Looking back on high school, I just remember specific scenarios and thinking, wow, that was such a big deal at the time, but right now it feels like it never even happened. So I guess if I can give any advice, I would just say that everything will pass, and it’ll feel like it was a big deal over nothing.
Vocally, I’m definitely pushing out more. That feels good. It’s very freeing. I’ve always been very private and consciously private. Now it’s kinda like, ‘Who cares.’ I’m gonna be free and gonna be me. I feel good.
I don’t take things for granted, because everything feels more fragile. It’s made me wonder about mortality and how long you’ve got somebody in the world. I’m more fearful than I used to be.
People talk about the brain weakening as it ages. Mine feels stronger.
I always want to do things that are different. I don’t want to be doing the same thing, the same performance constantly, and it feels like most people tell you that they are the same. However different you feel might approach them.
There’s no story if there isn’t some conflict. The memorable things are usually not how pulled together everybody is. I think everybody feels lonely and trapped sometimes. I would think it’s more or less the norm.
An exchange of empathy provides an entry point for a lot of people to see what healing feels like.
I’ve been on Prozac for 12 years and I’m off it now. I know what it feels like to be excited and sad again. I haven’t felt like this in 12 years; I’m like a giddy little kid.
A lot of people don’t realize that depression is an illness. I don’t wish it on anyone, but if they would know how it feels, I swear they would think twice before they just shrug it.
The reader feels as if he is in Chongjin, where starving people ate the bark off trees; or atop Mount Taesong with the elite of Pyongyang, whose existence is a mix of sadism and whimsy; or with the masses who are bombarded day and night with the propaganda of North Korea’s alternate reality.
Life is hard, but there are moments, sometimes hours – and, if you’re really lucky, full days – where everything feels just right.
When I create a character, particularly my central character, I want someone who is interesting and feels real and who might have quite a few virtues but is unlikely to be perfect, who hasn’t necessarily made all the right choices.
Everything feels like you’re in slow motion and everything you do seems like it’s about two or three plays of what everybody else is doing.
Until ‘Lovecraft Country’ feels like a show where people go, ‘Is that how the world used to be?’ we do need to talk about it and make art about it, because sadly, it’s not history yet.
I used to just take every job that seemed relatively appealing. But now I take a job and it’s in the trades the next day – it feels like people are watching and waiting to see what you do, and when you do take a job, attention is noted.
Performing a one-man Macbeth feels like the greatest challenge.
‘Spring One’ probably has only four bars of Vivaldi in it, but it feels like it’s all Vivaldi. It’s odd. It’s a bit like walking around a sculpture, you just sort of see it from a different angle.
Los Angeles feels empty and overrated. I struggle with it as a holiday destination. It’s the sort of place where you need to know some locals, otherwise it just feels so empty.
I would recommend it to everybody, every now and again you just put a dress on, see what it feels like, because it’s, its interesting. A whole complex series of thoughts and feelings assail you as you look at yourself.
That’s what I think makes the best anything, is that if something is written to fit a person like a glove, because then everything feels so true.
