There is a certain element of complementarity between men and women that is biological by nature.

To continue to work, to continue to love what you do, is certainly a contributing element to one’s longevity and health.
I do like the zombie movies quite a bit. I know there are purist zombie guys that don’t like the running zombies, but I dig the infected thing. I think that’s a scarier incorporation of an element into the genre.
Socially I never was an outsider. I have never thought of the conflict element before frankly, but perhaps it was wanting to belong, and at the same time wanting to retain one’s own personality.
I saw ‘Fifth Element’ once when it first came out and never thought much of it.
I have sung to large crowds since then, and there is a feeling that once you get over 100,000 people, you kind of lose the control element, you don’t know if you are really getting through or not.
Our enemies, like the Grecian hero, have one vulnerable point. You have not touched it yet. What should have been their element of weakness has been suffered to remain an element of strength.
Me as an artist, I’m more notorious for writing songs that celebrate women, songs that are all about the positive element of the immensely confusing creature that is woman.
All girls like guys who are tough. Obviously, riding a motorcycle – I don’t want to say that there’s a bad boy quality – but there’s definitely a tough and macho thing about a guy who rides a motorcycles and that element of danger. That’s really sexy.

For feel-good fiction to work, there has to be an element of darkness.
It’s totally crazy! I can’t believe all the young kids doing it in competition now. It’s pretty unbelievable to have an element variation named after me.
I’ve been going to Europe for some time on the festival circuit, and once you get in that element and see others reacting to it, it’s easier to understand. You get trapped in the wave. The beats are driving and super-aggressive – like, so hard. I was curious.
The other thing that was very noticeable on that tour, not so much in the video, was the new young element that were coming to our shows… I started to see some very young people in the audience… maybe 14, 15, 16 years old.
For me it came from the material. It was so well written and brought the opportunity to work with great actors. And of course the opportunity to ‘mince about’ was an added element that I wanted to take advantage of!

Religion is one dimension of culture, a transcendent element of it.
No matter who we are or where we live, we all share a basic concern for the safety and well-being of our young people. Their welfare is the most telling measure of our nation’s success – and their potential is the most promising element of its future. It is up to us – all of us – to safeguard that future.
Increased revenues, meaning higher taxes, will be a central element of any successful long-term budget plan, and President Obama is right to insist that the wealthy – the slice of America that has come through the recession in by far the best financial health – should provide those funds.
I feel like no matter what I’m on, whether it’s ‘Tiny Titans’ or ‘Swamp Thing’ or ‘American Vampire,’ there will be an element of horror in it. Which would be fun for ‘Tiny Titans.’
Not many people know my father was an actor. He was the Artful Dodger in ‘Oliver!,’ and was in a film called ‘Frauds,’ too. It’s interesting talking to him about acting, how much you can get turned down, and how not to take that as a discouragement. It’s nice to have that element to relate to for us both.
The auditioning process is one in which the actor gets very little information about almost every element of it.
There’s definitely a loneliness and, like, an internal element to being a performer.
There is a very conservative element of crime writers that don’t recognise what I do is crime fiction.
A painting has a lot of advantages over other forms of communication. Unlike a movie, you don’t have to put it into a machine and turn it on. It’s just there every day. It’s not limited by the element of time. It’s a constant part of the home.
I don’t outline at all; I don’t find it useful, and I don’t like the way it boxes me in. I like the element of surprise and spontaneity, of letting the story find its own way.

I always wanted to make rock music as well or as an element of what I do.
There’s an elusive element to comedy, but nobody gets it for free. That’s why comedians seldom criticise each other.
I think world creation and monster creation and all of that stuff is exciting as a secondary element of storytelling. When it becomes more important than storytelling, I get very nervous, and you sort of lose me a little bit.
‘The Whale’ was in the category of so-called serious music, and yet it brings together a wide series of musical styles. It was influenced by people such as The Beatles, the spirit of the times, and I think ‘The Whale’ certainly had a pop element to it.
There is an element of mystique to radio, and I often listen to cricket commentary on radio, especially when one is stuck in a traffic jam.

Yes, the audience is so important to Negro music, especially the element of call and response.
The only time I even entertain the tiniest element of religion is for Christmas carols.
It became evident to me that there was a very serious political element at work. I know that the term impeachment was bandied about. I do not believe, however, that the word was used with the ferocity it was more recently or that it was in the Nixon years.
The element of harmony is super important.
When we were making ‘Teddy Perkins,’ we were playing with a lot of horror tropes and things you might’ve seen in movies before, but we get the ability to subvert expectations or get a comedic element out of a horror moment.
I guess there is also an element of deliberate change involved. Each of my books has been, at least from my point of view, radically different from the last.
I’d love a werebear. But I guess you need that seductive element of danger. And though bears can be dangerous, when you say werebear it just sounds kind of cuddly. Probably has a rainbow on his belly.

Buying food from farmers and people that I know adds that human element that I love.
In all my movies, there’s always a kind of heartfelt element, to be able to do a drama and to be able to spend more time in the emotional stuff with no pressure to get back to the funny that’s very liberating for me.
What’s special with ‘Corrie’ is that they have the comedy element, women are funny as well – they might do the emotional stuff, they might do the drama, but they’re really funny too.
The only element of jazz that I keep is improvisation.
Your primary tools, as an actor, are observation and imagination. You can pretty much get everything you need from that, and you do. It brings back that element of pretend.
