Musical theater is an American genre. It started really, in America, as a combination of jazz and operetta; most of the great musical theater writers in the golden era are American. I think that to do a musical is a very American thing to me.
With racing, there’s not one thing you need to be really strong at, it’s a combination. You need a good base of cardio, good core, good neck strength. I think core and neck are the most important, but it’s certainly not my favourite. Neck training is pretty boring.
But I am Northern myself, and there is a certain rhythm of Northern speech that is very comical: that combination of the choice of language and the speech rhythm, which in itself is very funny.
When someone has that combination of arrogance and ignorance – that drives me crazy.
One of the things I love about opera is that it’s the combination of all the art forms, and certainly the world of fashion is a big deal in it.
I’m actually quite a nice person. It’s to do with the way I look, an uncompromising sort of face, brusque delivery and voice, and I think the combination of all that. When I’m doing pantomime, children will scream the place down before I open my mouth. There’s obviously something that really gets them.
In the case of ‘The Bible’ series and now ‘Son of God,’ it has been a combination of what I love to do and what I believe. To be able to do that with the person I love has just really been a blessing.
I think the Divas Champion is the perfect combination of athleticism, beauty and brawn.
If I could wave a magic wand and be anything, I’d be a really respected, really successful author. That’s a hard combination to get, though. I really enjoy acting, and it’s easier, frankly.
You do develop a taste as an actress: Chekhov, Ayckbourn: it’s the combination of comedy and human drama. I would never want to do anything without comedy.
The ultimate superstar has to have more than skill on the court. He must possess the ‘It Factor’ – a combination of marketable personality and championship rings.
I feel like if we can use the combination of basically data-driven hunches and bet on really first-class talent to deliver the shows, that I think we could do as well as the networks do, who basically have a 75 to 80 percent failure rate for new shows anyway – even after all that development and pilot work.
I’m also interested in the modern suggestion that you can have a combination of love and sex in a marriage – which no previous society has ever believed.
I think it is a combination of looks, aura, success, the energies that one gives out, the person you are and the person you feel like that makes you ‘desirable.’ When the outside world sees you as a man who is responsible for himself and his family, as a man who is fit and sensitive, it kind of ups your desirability.
The most special relationships, in my experience, are based on a combination of trust and mutual respect.
I thought if we could put our hard-working culture as traders into the asset management, it will be a great combination, and we did do that.
Cooking and eating at home is made even better by the fact that you don’t have to worry about driving after a couple of bottles of very nice wine. For me that’s the ideal combination: working hard and enjoying the fruits of your labour.
Before Wenger came, Arsenal celebrated 1-0 and were based on defensive solidity. With Arsene, joy came from attacking, with players of good standing. And the perfect combination was the Invincibles. But over time, only technical quality and offensive freedom were taken care of, losing the defensive structure.
Competition got me off the farm and trained me to seek out challenges and to endure setbacks; and in combination with my faith, it sustains me now in my fight with Alzheimer’s disease.
We need to see more resources in the combination of public safety and public health but we have to use our dollars wisely.
The Internet offers an interesting combination of advertising and community by participating in the community you can become an advertisement for yourself.
I like what I hear as a resulting combination of these two strands… something of a combination of familiarity and, for lack of a better word, strangeness.
Obviously you’re looking out the window and you’re seeing Earth and that’s moving and then you’re in a spacecraft now that can move on all axes while you’re floating inside it and I think, for some people, maybe the combination of all three is a little bit of a sensory overload.
I truly believe that the combination of a strong top line together with a strong bottom line is what makes for a sustainable business.
For me, I’ve never been too concerned of what people think of me, so now as the youngest Baldwin brother in Hollywood making movies while simultaneously being a charismatic evangelical born again Christian who’s an evangelist – that’s a pretty crazy combination.
The combination of me and Raftaar sharing screen space together is in itself fire!
I spent a lot of time quasi-fascinated with characters who were super-dumb and super-cocky. I always liked that combination.
I have a combination of self-love and self-loathing, just like most people.
I’m not sure sometimes if it was because Will was gay or it was a sitcom. But that combination does make it hard to become the new lead on the ‘Sopranos.’
The sound of the ’90s, to me, is a combination of soul and street – it’s a feeling.
You know, at that age you want to show everyone else how wild you are. It’s a combination of being bored, looking for a cheap thrill and being really stupid – a dangerous combination.
When it comes to assessing the chances of some complicated combination of events, gut feelings are pretty much useless.
When lots of stores compete, the result is a combination of better prices for you, better deals for developers, and more investment in new content and innovation.
Surya namaskar, in itself, is a combination of 12 asanas.
I love collaborations, as every combination provides a unique opportunity to create something new.
Every day I’d say I look different. Sometimes I look really formal, sometimes I love the classic Stella McCartney, Chloe Sevigny and Gwyneth Paltrow thing. Other days I like being rock star and wearing leather jackets and studs. I love wearing Burberry – it’s the perfect combination of formal and punky.
Muhammad Ali is a combination of personality and athlete who is probably better known around the world than any other. He became a great hero.
HERO is a combination of my personal feeling and the commercialism.
A key to my thinking has always been the almost fanatical belief that what I was engaged in was a literary art form. That belief was compounded out of ego and necessity, I guess, a combination of the two.
I write best when I sort of collide myself with another man. So I think, I hope, that a combination of me and Stieg Larsson will create something good.
I guess I’m lucky in that I started working very young in all three of the mediums. I started in stage first, and then I moved into film, also very young, and when I did ‘Taxi,’ for instance, it was live in front of an audience but also filmed; that was a fun combination.
I learned that I never really know the true story of my guests’ lives, that I have to content myself with knowing that when I’m interviewing somebody, I’m getting a combination of fact and truth and self-mythology and self-delusion and selective memory and faulty memory.
I don’t want to compare myself to him – I don’t want people to see me as this great genius – but when I see Charlie Chaplin’s movies there is a combination of drama, naivety and social meaning that I can see in myself, at a different level.
If two men or two women can marry, then there is no way a court could deny three men and two women or any combination thereof.
Magazine stories, the best ones anyway, are generally a combination of three elements: access, narrative, and disclosure.
There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge… observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination.
Interestingly, many Indian companies where there’s a father-and-son combination are being run as joint CEO organizations because the father has not given up running the company and the son is actively involved in running the company, and there is division of responsibilities.
The combination of Federalism and Republicanism which formed the substance of the system, did not constitute a progressive and formative political principle, but it pointed in the direction of a constructive formula.
Cryptoeconomics is so fascinating to study because it’s a combination of technology, economics, and psychology.
Concentration comes out of a combination of confidence and hunger.
You hear a lot of drivers say they’ll quit when they’re not enjoying it. That’s pretty much what happened to me. It was a combination of things, but mostly it was losing that enthusiasm I always felt before.
After taking a retreat into the woods of the Russian River Valley to write, reflect, and commune with nature and one another, ‘Amethyst Journey’ was born. The album is a collection of songs that are a combination of our outlook and inspirations – a response to current issues and the state of our planet.
