It’s funny because the perception is that the typical ‘X Factor’ contestant is the person who’s just working 9 to 5 and just decides to one day go and audition. So yeah, for me, it was a very different story.
I do have a lot to learn, and I think that has a big factor in everything. Being 19 years old and being able to be in the UFC has a big effect on every single thing that people look at.
Pentagon not only has the untrainable ‘It’ factor but also the rare ability to adapt and succeed wherever he competes. He has a unique charisma about him that fans connect with, and regardless of where he competes or what style is prominent, he seamlessly blends in – yet stands apart from everyone else on the card.
Age is not a factor when it comes to choosing the kind of roles you want to portray or the kind of clothes you wear for a role on-screen.

But do remember that the most important risk factor for cancer is growing older. Most cancers occur in people over the age of 65.
I don’t think anybody would argue now that the Internet isn’t becoming a major factor in our lives. However, it’s very new to us. Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people ‘over the Internet.’
I think when you’re a very good defensive team you give yourself a chance every night, on the road, at home, it’s a big factor and something to build on.
I love ‘X Factor,’ and I love Sharon: she’s brilliant.
Style has become a crucial differentiating factor for most actors in the industry. I generally choose my look based on the character I essay. I research a lot on the Internet and pick something that would suit my face.

People aren’t expecting me to look how I do. But that’s one of the main reasons it works so well: the surprise factor.
It’s perfectly obvious that there is some genetic factor that distinguishes humans from other animals and that it is language-specific. The theory of that genetic component, whatever it turns out to be, is what is called universal grammar.
Do the little things that make you feel normal and happy, even if that’s just getting in your pyjamas and watching ‘X Factor’ at the weekend.
I suspect unconscious bias has been far more of a factor for President Obama than overt racism and will also be a challenge for Hillary Rodham Clinton if she runs for president again.
If a player digests his own statistical information in his own time, on his own laptop, tablet or whatever, without a coach standing over him, it makes it easier for him. It helps with the pressure. There’s a fear factor but spending time at home analysing things can help control it.
I think for me ‘X Factor’ was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
Yeah, getting the company that would help advertise and cross promote the movie on the release was an important factor for New Line, so we went out to a lot of different companies.
A critical factor in its success was that the X developers were willing to give the sources away for free in accordance with the hacker ethic, and able to distribute them over the Internet.
I’m very grateful to have had many brilliant students and post-docs who have worked with me. Potential is often hard to spot, but a key factor is whether they express a genuine interest in the problem and how they have thought about it.
This idea, as you know, that I have firm convictions that the idea of issues being a big deal where our mutual friend went back and he felt so strongly that the determining factor in electoral success should be a proven character.
I didn’t know what it would be like being on ‘X Factor’ with my husband. It’s surpassed everything I could have expected.
The year in school of a student is another factor that affects how an instructor interacts with his or her class.
To me, ‘X Factor’ is like Vegas. Fake, twisted, but kind of wonderful. Maybe I’m sick, but I find the whole thing quite funny sometimes.

Twice a week I would receive injections or IV’s of Factor VIII which clotted the blood and then broke it down.
I try to factor solitude into my life because more and more, that’s becoming a very precious and rare commodity.
You want your assistants to move up. But you want it to be a hard decision. You want them to only be willing to leave if they’re walking into a dream situation. You don’t want money to ever be a factor.
I thought that if I could play rugby on TV, I’d be able to get my mum a house. That was the driving factor.
Fear is not a motivating factor. You might be able to get a little bit more out of someone in the short term, but you will completely erode your business and your culture in the long term. You’re going to lose all your good people. You’re not going to have people tell you the truth, and it becomes the tradition.
One of the things I love best about Marvel is the ‘What If?’ factor; being able to just say, ‘Today we’re going to explore a world where Magneto and Emma never gave back the X-Men. Or a world where Mary Jane shares Peter’s powers.’ So being able to do that is just super exciting.
I might not have a conference championship or a national championship as a head coach, but I had the recruiting factor.
The main factor in joining Arsenal was meeting with Arsene Wenger and to hear what his plans were for me.
I have a love factor with the minorities.

The most overwhelming factor was becoming a mother. The entire perspective of life changes overnight.
Humility is a super-important factor in all of our lives, and I try to remind myself every evening in front of the mirror, ‘Just calm down.’
I think I try to separate every single play, because like I said, if you’re 0 for 3 with three Ks, the fourth at-bat could be the deciding factor whether your team wins or not. You’ve got to forget that you’ve got the 3 Ks.
You know what? I never really factor Hollywood into anything. I’m a black actor, so I can’t really control what Hollywood thinks. I gotta go do my thing, and my jokes have got to be funny. Whatever I do has got to be great.
I thought about going onto the first one, Pop Idol. My mum was saying, ‘Go on!’ But I decided not to. ‘The X Factor,’ though, doesn’t really seem to be a show about musical talent anymore.
Jumping isn’t as important to my training as you might think; I’m only in the sandpit once a week. There’s a high risk factor of injury doing it, so instead, I rely on my progress in the gym to judge how far I’ll jump on the big day.
I’m proud of the fact I was able to surround myself with great people who did great things, and it resulted in the Bulls being a global brand and winning championships and a factor in the community.
I feel that when you are passionate about what you do, money will follow. If money becomes the primary factor, passion goes down the drain.

George Raft may or may not have gone both ways, but he was very sensitive to what they said about him, and it was one factor why he decided to play all those gangsters in the movies.
Love is the missing factor; there is a lack of affection, of warmth in relationship; and because we lack that love, that tenderness, that generosity, that mercy in relationship, we escape into mass action, which produces further confusion, further misery.
To me, length is an artificial and arbitrary factor in a film.
I basically like the unpredictability factor. When I watch a film, if it becomes predictable, I lose interest in it.
I don’t think I could advocate for increasing NASA’s budget by a factor of two or ten, because I want us to have good roads in our country. I want us to have good education in our country. And NASA’s budget is part of a discretionary budget, and we can’t make that bigger without taking away other things.
The most critical factor subduing the demand for housing is that home ownership is no longer seen as the great, long-term buildup in equity value it once was.
A lot of the time I get obsessed by little nerdy things in my corner that no one else is interested in. I have that nerd factor in my character.
I believe that while race-neutral means are preferable, it is appropriate to use race as one factor among others in achieving a diverse student body.
