I had a teacher senior year in high school. He was a theater teacher, and he basically was a little bit like ‘High School Musical.’ He kind of encouraged the jocks to get involved with the plays. I did it as kind of a senior year lark.
I know it’s cliche to say, ‘When you do something you love you never work a day in your life.’ But it is true: When you do something you love, life gets to be a little bit easier and enjoyable. So I just want people to follow their dreams.
I want to treat every ingredient in a way that conveys its most pure qualities, but with a little bit of a dreamy twist.
I think I am underappreciated a little bit, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter because myself, my family, my coaches, my friends, the people around me know how good I am.
With animated film, you have to create the sonic world; there’s nothing there. You get to color things in more and you’re allowed to overreach yourself a little bit more, and it’s great fun.
When I make a film, I am hoping to reinvent the genre a little bit. I just do it my way. I make my own little Quentin versions of them… I consider myself a student of cinema. It’s almost like I am going for my professorship in cinema, and the day I die is the day I graduate. It is a lifelong study.
After you’ve listened to it, you’ll feel like you know us a little bit better.
We had experienced so much as kids, and I kind of feel like we learned a lot about the industry that put a little bit of a bad taste in our mouth, whether it was a couple of people we worked with or whether it was just trying to find the right inspiration or what have you.
In the playoffs, it changes a little bit with defenses tightening up and every little thing is put under the microscope.
I am going to get political on you. Because I am the most shallow person in the world, my mission is to see men’s formal wear change a little bit. It is too rigid! Everybody looks like a penguin!
I used to write about experiences that a 20-year-old would write about – going out with your friends, having a drink. You know, things were a little bit sexier in a different way. Now, you know, I’m a mom, and I want to filter some of the things that I say.
My kitchen looks like the one from my childhood – very homey, with a little bit of Alice in Wonderland!
People think hard sparring will get you sharp. And you do get sharp in the gym. But anytime I’ve trained that way, I’ve actually been a little bit flatter in the fight. And the knockout shot hasn’t come. It’s almost because my training has been too hard.
You can’t cry when things get a little bit hard. You’ve just got to push through and know that there’s a reason and end to the means.
I’ve become very cognizant of how people are perceiving me, which is a little bit to my detriment.
It’s very interesting because as an actor, you play a litany of different roles, but to play both of them within the same day multiple times, in quick successions, it’s different and sort of a really rare opportunity that I was initially terrified by and a little bit daunted by.
Portland in particular is a cheap enough place to live that you can still develop your passion – painting, writing, music. People seem less status-conscious. Even wealthy people buy second-hand clothes and look a little bit homeless.
What’s been nice is that I’ve been able to direct from a very idealistic place. I’ve never had to make my living as a director, which gave me a chance to choose material I feel passionate about. The directing allows me to not have to grab any acting role that comes along. I can pick and choose a little bit.
The success of the second ‘Austin Powers’ caught us by surprise a little bit. We had decided not to do even a second one, unless the audience wanted it and we could do something better.
The question is: Where would it get you if something that’s a little bit ambiguous in the movie is made clear? It doesn’t get you anywhere.
For me, I like to be a little bit tomboy but still look like a lady. Pretty tough. Or really, really, really pretty.
I mean I think that Blondie’s influence is a little bit in a way more eclectic than those bands.
Culture means, I think, that you have widened your experience enough through reading and through being a little bit thoughtful about these things that it has changed your outlook in some ways. And not necessarily made you a better human being but made you see things.
Visualization – it’s been huge for me. Your mind doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality. You can’t always practice perfectly – my fingers will play a little bit out of tune, or my dance moves might not be as sharp – but in my mind, I can practice perfectly.
Sometimes you need to come out of your comfort zone a little bit.
In chess, everyone’s accepted. That’s what’s great about it. You can be a little bit different. You can be an oddball.
The little bit of buzz around ‘Warrior’ led to a lot of opportunities anyway, before the movie even came out.
When you look at me, you can’t really tell what I am, but I’m black, white, Native, Spanish, and a little bit of Filipino.
Criticism’s healthy. It gives you that extra little bit inside you to prove people wrong, to use it as energy, to use it as fuel.
I started walking at night with my sister in law which has been amazing. It really does something for you. It just kind of clears the mind, it just makes you feel better, things start to tighten a little bit.
I took a break from acting for a little bit, came back, and didn’t know how it was going to be, but I had so much fun. I really had, like, a reinvention, a renewal.
There used to be that you only had four or five critics that you would look to for intelligent conversation, but now there are millions of people who can just press ‘send,’ and everyone’s got an opinion even if no one cares what they say. It makes things a little bit tougher.
Every time you learn you can do something, you can go a little bit faster next time.
I don’t compare shows. It’s very simple. I don’t live in the past. If there’s any secret to my longevity, it’s living in the future. And a little bit in the present.
You have a little bit of talent, a certain amount of good fortune and a lot of hard work in pursuit of whatever truth you can find in it, and if you are really lucky, a terrific partner and I have that and those four things worked out for me.
I’m gonna walk a little bit of dog.
I think Ring of Honor is becoming a legitimate threat in the world of pro wrestling. To say that Ring of Honor would be WWE is getting a little bit ahead of yourself. At the same time, I think Ring of Honor can definitely be a place where guys can make a living.
There’s a song called ‘My Faith’ that’s kind of my spiritual song on my record. It’s a little bit of my softer side of me, comin’ out of left field a little bit.
When you’re smaller, you kind of learn how to do other things. You have to work a little bit harder.
I stopped worrying about competition in contemporary art. It feels a little bit more pure. That’s where I am, one step back.
We moved to Australia for two years though and that was a little bit tough trying to fit in.
I get a little bit of cardio.
I grew up in the East Village, in Alphabet City, when it was a very dangerous neighborhood. To survive there, I had to learn to be a little bit invisible.
I don’t want to appear hostile, like I’m hostile to L.A. or that I feel that the people don’t appreciate jazz. I don’t think it’s that. I think it’s something more. It’s something a little bit more complicated than that.
I’m not quite that difficult, even though maybe I’m a little bit bossy. But you know, in order to get things done, you do have to be a little bit bossy sometimes or tell people what you really want. Otherwise, things just don’t get done, do they?
As time went on, I did campaign to lighten the character a little bit, to introduce some romance into the episodes, outside activities, horse riding and fencing and mountaineering.
We come from a more alternative rock band background, and it’s interesting to see the things that people think we should or shouldn’t do since our music is a little bit poppier.
Your life isn’t about doing one perfect ‘thing’ and then falling down dead. It’s more like going to church or writing a book. You do it over and over, always trying to be a little bit better. Then you die.
In the sago palms, you’ll often find sago beetles which are about the size of your little finger. The Karowai put those on the fire until they’re crispy and eat them. They taste a little bit like creamy snails. But compared to sago, the sago beetle is really pretty good.
In America most everybody who’s Italian is half Italian. Except me. I’m all Italian. I’m mostly Sicilian, and I have a little bit of Neapolitan in me. You get your full dose with me.
Easy was, like, spending time with Jennifer on set. Difficult stuff about character is, it was a little bit like just being the only one with no superhuman powers.
If you want someone to feel warm, you dress them in a warm color and put a warm light on them and you get the picture. Sometimes, all that needs pushing a little bit to help tell the story.
I never get tired of exploring Americana or country music, and I always have a little bit of a crooner in me that never seems to go away.
