I didn’t grow up listening to The Smiths, but now I am a fan. I love his music and listened to so much of it for the film. It’s not a regular biopic; they picked a part of his life that people don’t really know about. You learn what informs his lyrics.
Indonesia can hold regular elections, but if the laws do not apply to the most powerful elements in society, then there is no rule of law and no genuine democracy. The country will never become a true democracy until it takes serious steps to end impunity.
I think that, whether you liked the outcome or not, the reasons for doing ‘Ultimatum’ were necessary. The Ultimate Universe had become too much like the regular Marvel Universe, and that was certainly not a good thing for the line.
Before I discovered CrossFit, I was really just doing regular bodybuilding, didn’t understand athletic training and movements. I didn’t even know how to squat, necessarily.
I am not a fitness freak, but I do my regular exercises.
I play only classical music. My pianos are my only big indulgence, but they’re a necessity. When I’m playing the piano is literally the only time I can be completely abstract and disconnected from the regular world and yet be connected – to my music.
I love to go to a regular movie theater, especially when the movie is a big crowd-pleaser. It’s much better watching a movie with 500 people making noise than with just a dozen.
Science is, rightly, searching for drugs to arrest ageing or to slow the advance of dementia. But the evidence suggests that many of the most powerful factors determining how you age come from what you do, and what you do with others: whether you work, whether you play music, whether you have regular visitors.
We left Egypt when I was seven, and we didn’t return until I was 21. My teen years were divided between the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. Up until we left the U.K., it was like your regular teenage years. The one thing I remember is that I couldn’t date. That was one thing my parents made very clear.
On Hillary Clinton’s side, she believes she’s unaccountable to the American people. She favors these old ideas about government, these – these centralized, top down solutions from Washington that keep insiders in the know and give them influence, but regular Americans have no voice.
My own recipe for longevity includes considerable amounts of fruits and vegetables. An additional major responsibility for the maintenance of our bodies is regular exercise; at least 4 to 5 times a week.
I’m at a little loss in terms of my Leave It To Beaver expertise, since I never watched an episode of the show – so the cast in the pilot could have been Martians or they could have been the regular cast for all I know.
If we want an international trade deal that advances the interests of our own people, then perhaps we don’t need a ‘fast-track’ but a regular track: where the president sends us any proposal he deems worthy, and we review it on its own merits.
In my regular life, I am very involved in commissions for cities and sometimes countries. And I think of public art as a team sport. The outcome is only possible with the interaction of all the players.
If you’ve got a regular feed of winners, you control your mind to do it. It becomes a must. If you didn’t have that regular flow of winning, whether you could get yourself to do that, I don’t know. It’s a lot easier when you know the next day you can win and you can win and win, it’s worth doing it.
I have regular peels and Botox. It’s something I’ll always do. People redecorate their homes every few years, and I see this as no different. Changing my face is like buying a new sofa.
I work very regular hours, roughly 9 to 5:30. I think I have it much easier than a lot of parents. I just sit at home, I have a very flexible timetable, and I’m very fortunate in that I don’t have money problems. I have lunch with my wife at home. I don’t have to commute, so I have much more time with my family.
David Bowie, who spent most of the ’70s establishing himself as a master of psychological disguises, is spending the ’80s trying to convince us that he’s just a regular fella – or at least as close to one as a millionaire pop star can be.
My dream life is just to go back to my job full-time. And be with my family. You know, regular dreams, common dreams that everyone has.
I just want to be more regular.
People like RZA and DJ Premier are really on the balcony to scope my musical theories. They also help me focus on making sure I make money, making sure I get the notoriety I should, just regular stuff that friends do when you’re in the business. And to call them friends is amazing.
The line between anime and regular animation is very difficult to cross, even for people who have been doing anime successfully for years.
You can’t speak for the people unless you’re able to walk amongst the people. And how many of these rappers out here actually hang out with regular people?
If you sit down and read with your kid, either having your child read to you or you reading to your child at a regular time each day, it deepens the relationship. You don’t have to talk about stuff; the story will do that work for you.
I’ve always been a super regular guy.
No poet is required to write in stanzas, or indeed in regular forms at all. Coleridge’s ‘Dejection: An Ode’ has a rhyme scheme and sequence of long and short lines that goes without regular pattern, following the mood and whim of the poet. Such a form is known as an irregular ode.
My regular life today is reading books, making dolls houses, sewing dolls with my daughter and barbequing.
When I enrolled in college at age 19, I had a total of eight years of formal classroom education. As a result, I was not comfortable with formal lectures and receiving regular homework assignments.
I’ve trained all my life. I’ve always been one who enjoys training so it’s not something that I think I can just stop doing. It might not be as regular but I want to keep training.
My mom was a volleyball player, and my dad was a soccer player. I never thought about it, but they always served healthy food at home, and I love it, and it kind of was a regular part of my day.
Even during my injury, I had fun because I got to be a regular college kid.
You tend to meet on a more regular basis with people in your industry, and reality being what it is, you tend to meet with them at the particular level that you occupy; so that develops a fraternity relationship.
I didn’t have any terrible survival jobs. The main job I had before I was able to transition over to acting full-time was working at an after-school program at a middle school teaching improv and standup. So even when I had a regular job, I was still lucky enough to be doing the stuff I loved in some way.
When you’re young, it’s all about the society of school and being cool, but they don’t understand that somebody can be different and live a different lifestyle and still be a regular person. I was the same way when I was a kid.
I’ve gotten more and more cut off from the regular comic-book world, from straight comics and stuff like that. Once in a while, I’ll take a look at something.
I’m really lucky to be in the TV industry and to have a regular yearly contract. That gives me security.
Sometimes, it takes leaving to gain some perspective. I see that clearly every time I leave Washington, D.C., and return to Indiana. I see the bizarre bubble that seems to enclose the Beltway and makes people forget what regular people care about.
The regular season doesn’t matter.
Sometimes you get caught up in what’s going on around you. The reality is that you are just a regular person. At some point, the career will be over, the bright lights turn off. That can come back to haunt you if you’re not just a regular guy.
We’ve gone through many different permutations of coffee-making, from grinding our own beans to the regular drip to an iced coffee maker.
Any woman can make pole dancing a regular part of their exercise routine – and a fun part of their romantic life!
If you live only a movie-star life, you know only movie-star things. I needed to live a regular life with normal people around.
I have to say that flying on Air Force One sort of spoils you for coach on a regular airline.
Health is correlated with quality of life. If you get regular physical activity, have social connections, control your cholesterol, keep your blood pressure at a normal level, don’t smoke – these things can make an enormous difference not only in how long you live, but how much you enjoy your life in those years.
I’ve been blessed with pretty strong stamina and healthy genes, so I’d call myself sensible. I’ve had regular mammograms ever since I found a lump in my breast when I was 30. Thankfully, all was well.
I’d like to play something classical. I’m in the Strindberg society, and we do readings of Strindberg plays. I’d love to do Nora in ‘A Doll’s House.’ And Chekhov. I have been working back to back on what I call ‘regular jobs,’ so it’s hard to do plays.
I think that we all plateau, from fitness experts to regular folks at every fitness level. What that means is we need to change our exercise routine, food, and attitude.
I had so many offers after ‘True Blood’ for things that were someone in the same vein, but nowhere near Alan Ball’s vision. Or something that was over-the-top and fantastical. And I’ve always wanted to play the regular, working-class mom, and I’ve never really had the chance to do that.
