All simulators are going to be different compared to reality, that’s how I see it.

If you ask me, a batsman has very few opportunities as compared to a bowler. A bowler knows, if he gets hit for a six or a boundary, he has another delivery left to get back and take a wicket. For a batsman, one loose shot, and you are out. A bowler will always have 24 opportunities.
I’ve got used to being on ‘The Chase’ and keeping nice and calm and that feels like comfort now compared to being in the spotlight and being on stage.
I knew that the glamor quotient is high in Telugu movies when compared to Malayalam. Hence I was careful while opting for the roles in Tollywood.
I just feel at Paris, I will have more chances compared to Madrid. I’m French and I choose a French team. People must be happy to keep a French player in the league.
I want to know what changed in fully modern humans, compared with Neanderthals, that made a difference. What made it possible for us to build up these enormous societies, and spread around the globe, and develop the technology that I think no one can doubt is unique to humans.

The music business looks like, you know, innocent schoolboys compared to the TV business. They care about nothing but profit.

In my opinion, there are fewer and fewer great goalkeepers because, with respect to when I started, they have to do so much more compared with in the past.
Certainly the first true humans were unique by virtue of their large brains. It was because the human brain is so large when compared with that of a chimpanzee that paleontologists for years hunted for a half-ape, half-human skeleton that would provide a fossil link between the human and the ape.
Compared to TV, ‘Palookaville’ was restriction-free, except we had no money and no time.

We’re in a world where there’s famine and hunger and people are dodging bullets and having their nails pulled out in dungeons so it’s very hard for me to place any high value on the work that I do to write a song. Yeah, I work hard but compared to what?
I wanted to play blues. But I wasn’t blue enough. I wasn’t like Muddy Waters, people who really had it hard. In our house, we had food on the table. We were doing well compared to many. So I concentrated on this fun and frolic, these novelties.
The monetary policy committee could either keep rates constant, increase them, or bring them down. There are three options possible compared to when it is accommodative.
With regard to women, I’m not running as a woman – ‘Vote for me!’ But the fact of the matter is we have a very low percentage of women in our Legislature in this country compared to other nations in the western world.
I was so aware of the stage clothes versus the everyday-life clothes, and the extremeness of the stage clothes that my parents had designed. Even coming across my dad’s old Beatles suits from Savile Row and the history attached to them – the masculinity and simplicity compared to the ’70s glitz and glamour of Wings.
Pretty early, when I started playing golf, I was compared to Garfield Sobers, who played both cricket and golf.
Paris enjoys a high reputation for the style of its public edifices, and, while there is a very great deal to condemn, compared with other capitals, I think it is entitled to a distinguished place in this particular.
Facebook’s data trove is enviable, and its moves into nearly every aspect of our lives – from payment to media, will create even more of it. The company also has created a huge base of developers for its platform, but the ecosystem is incomplete compared to vertically integrated OSes like iOS, Mac or Windows.
But still as compared to many, many orchestras in the world, I think you find a lot more new music and living composers on our programs than many other places.
If you were to ask me about a mistake I have made, it’s calling my fourth album, ‘New Jersey’, because for the first time in my life, we were compared to the E Street Band.

For me, it’s a compliment to be compared with Marilyn, the unforgettable actress, the most beautiful one of all. But, curves aside, we have very little in common.

St. Kitts’ government is much more libertarian compared with the U.S. It’s not even close.
No fame, no fortune, no world titles – they all mean absolutely nothing compared to knowing Jesus. Because winning world titles ain’t going to get me into heaven.

In my mind, the re-election of Richard Nixon, compared with what was available on the other side, was so much more important that I put it in just that context.

I didn’t know that people compared Bill Hicks and I but certainly I’m flattered if they do. I knew Bill a bit. We had dinner a couple of times and played guitar together once. I really tried to keep my distance from him professionally.
