People do not wish to appear foolish; to avoid the appearance of foolishness, they are willing to remain actually fools.
I am not an actor. Yes, every so often I appear on talk shows to promote something I’ve written, and I enjoy doing so because I have a lot of stories to tell, and I like making audiences laugh. But that’s not acting. That’s just me being me.
My father is a real idealist, and he’s all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up, it was just a resounding ‘No.’ But if I asked for a saxophone, one would appear and next day and I’d be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense.
Our films appear to have become realistic once again. ‘Thondimuthalum Driskakshiyum’ is a fine example. I am glad that I could also contribute to this phase of Malayalam cinema with ‘Shutter.’
Whenever I run out of people to write about, I cook up a few ghosts, or they appear before me.
Refugees tend to avoid planes, airports and fake passports, even though flying may appear to be the most obvious way to flee. For one thing, security procedures at airports are far stricter than at land borders.
When you become comfortable in your own skin, it actually makes you appear more attractive because you’re just confident in who you are.
Stars appear as pin-points of light. They don’t twinkle there as they do when we see them from earth because the atmospheric blanket is not there.
I’m just out there trying to have fun not letting anything bother me out there on the floor, which may appear sometimes why I’m just completely goofing out there.
I want to play around with my looks. It’s very boring to appear the same in all your films. Then people are looking not at the character but at the actor.
Mississippi’s loose campaign finance laws allow lawyers and companies to contribute heavily to the judges they appear before. That is terrible for justice, since the courts are teeming with perfectly legal conflicts of interest.
They appear to have become so attached to their outrage that they are even more outraged that they won’t be able to be outraged anymore.
My mother, Jeanne, was a TV and radio presenter in Jamaica. Bob Marley used to appear on her shows all the time and so she knew him quite well.
Lots of colors appear when you’re working with other people.
When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misunderstanding of current, rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it won’t one day, from some perspective, appear prophetic.
In 2008, while the film version of my book ‘Choke’ was coming to market, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. That meant that I had to appear in public to promote a comedy about a son trying to save his dying mother – the plot of Choke – while privately I was caring for my own dying mother. It was torture.
To the intelligent man with an interest in human nature it must often appear strange that so much of the energy of the scientific world has been spent on the study of the body and so little on the study of the mind.
The children of the unemployed achieve less in school and appear to have reduced long-term earnings prospects.
Though everything else may appear shallow and repulsive, even the smallest task in music is so absorbing, and carries us so far away from town, country, earth, and all worldly things, that it is truly a blessed gift of God.
Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
For me, my mentor was Rain who I like and admire so much. To be able to appear in the same place with him as a mentor to someone is meaningful and such an honor.
If the U.N. were to be successful in its efforts to control the Internet, countries where human rights records range from questionable to criminal could be put in charge of determining what is and is not allowed to appear online.
For decades, the Congress party has used its power to make Nehru appear as a giant, rendering all other political personalities small before him.
Indeed, many of life’s most fun and pleasurable choices come with potential dangers. It’s important for my son to grow up recognizing that what might appear exciting or inviting at first glance could also have eventual negative consequences.
On ‘The Chase,’ I don’t know what questions are going to appear, so they deliberately try and catch me out.
Studying the daily news can appear more interesting than the priesthood lesson manual. Sitting down to rest can be more attractive than making appointments to visit those who need our priesthood service.
Although we must change the ways we protect our country, we must also guard against policies that appear attractive but offer little real protection and may even impede our ability to protect ourselves.
When you appear on the screen, often enough you become sexy, even if you look like an elephant.
There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
If you would ask me some of the ingredients that people are surprised by that could appear on my menu are such things as bleu cheese, vegetables like parsnips and rutabaga, bacon, pork fat, fois gras, truffles, and olives.
Gay marriage has jumped out of the closet on to the front page. Everyone from the president of the U.S. to retired four-star general Colin Powell is embracing the issue, now supported by most Americans. Still, a few people, like former First Lady Laura Bush appear to be conflicted.
When you have a name actor, with a face that people recognise and a name that can go on posters or billboards and be able to appear on the talkshow circuit and tout the film, that’s always a plus.
I certainly know women who had children, quit their jobs, and still have full-time nannies. That’s who these women are: Even to the detriment of their own relationship with their kids, they want to appear perfect Martha Stewart moms.
I am aware that my name has been connected with all the bank robberies in the country; but positively I had nothing to do with any one of them. I look upon my life since the war as a blank, and will never say anything to make it appear otherwise.
Early coronavirus fatality rates as often cited may appear worse than they actually are for a majority of the public because they do not include the many undiagnosed, asymptomatic cases; and because they do not reflect the dramatically elevated risk for the elderly compared to the rest of the population.
When writing screenplays, it’s a matter of remembering to leave off the page anything and everything that doesn’t appear on the screen.
For this purpose I determined to keep an account of the voyage, and to write down punctually every thing we performed or saw from day to day, as will hereafter appear.
Romantic lovers require from each other at least the facade of reason: We desire to be what romantic love makes us appear in the other’s eyes. We want to imagine we are deserving of the love we inspire.
Creating a regulatory system that reflects the modern-day realities of financial markets is not as difficult as it may appear.
If our inner being was to be turned to the outside, and our outer being turned inward, we would appear with more wounds and diseases than the Prophet Job. For each sin that we commit and each doubt that enters our mind causes wounds in our heart and our spirit.
I only ever agreed to appear in ‘Corrie’ for two months, but I ended up staying a lot longer. I really enjoyed it.
The existence of another, competing translation is a good thing, in general, and only immediately discouraging to one person – the translator who, after one, two, or three years of more or less careful work, sees another, and perhaps superior, version appear as if overnight.
If I were to appear in a programme like ‘Sex and the City,’ I’m sure I’d be cast as the downtrodden one staying at home and having seven children while the others jet-setted around the world.
My face frowns by default, so when I’m most calm is when I appear the least approachable.
I never miss a chance to have sex or appear on television.
Cardio activity burns fat, and when you burn fat while building muscle, you change the ratio of stored fat to lean muscle mass, and your arms appear to be more defined.
If ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, then children are somewhat closer to our roots as primates in the arboreal forest. Humans appear to be the only primates that I know of that are afraid of heights. All other primates, when they’re scared, they run up a tree, where they feel safe.
By combining elements such as hypnosis, magic, neurolinguistic programming and psychology, I can make it appear that I can hack into people’s brains.
These statements about torture, about alleged misuse of power and things like that, insulted the Filipinos more than their leader because it was made to appear as if Filipinos would tolerate a leader who would torture his own people, who would utilize his executive prerogatives for abuses.
If Trump’s talking to Putin can help end the bloodshed in Ukraine or Syria, it would appear to be at least as ethical an act as pulpiteering about our moral superiority on the Sunday talk shows.
Well, I’m not trying to get rid of the unions, but I am saying that they appear to be an antiquated concept in today’s economy.
