All of science to me, everything that we have learned, is important to the extent that it brings us to our senses.
There’s a certain thing when you start getting into your late thirties or early forties where you stop caring. Not to the extent where you stop caring about the music, you just stop caring about what anyone thinks of you, and you just kind of let it go – let the chips fall where they may.
I like greenery, nature, I don’t like littering the streets. The progress of science and technology comes at a cost and I don’t think we can still fathom the extent of this ‘cost’.
America has no real idea of the extent to which it abuses its authority and power.
I think many years ago I got on a bus in L.A. and drove around to see the stars’ homes, but that’s the extent of my direct experience in Hollywood.

When we talk about ‘Firepower,’ we’re talking about the fire and power of heavy metal to prevail and endure difficulties. ‘Children of the Sun,’ is, to some extent, about climate change and the ecosystem… We want to deliver a message to the people without being too much of a teacher.
You get that air of satisfaction from achievement. It makes you feel good. We are only here for a very short time, and so you’re crazy if you don’t go out and try to milk it to the greatest extent you can.

The game was different then, when I used to play. The ball ran more than the players and to some extent there was greater technical skill.
I was born in Brooklyn and raised in Pittsburgh. I’ve never been to Iran, I don’t speak the language, and, probably most important of all, my Iranian father left home when I was nine months old. That’s the extent of my connection to Iran.
Regarding social media, I really don’t understand what appears to be the general population’s lack of concern over privacy issues in publicizing their entire lives on the Internet for others to see to such an extent… but hey it’s them, not me, so whatever.
It’s nonsense to say money doesn’t buy happiness, but people exaggerate the extent to which more money can buy more happiness.
Especially in our society, for a woman to be ambitious and controlling, that’s a negative. Whereas me as a person, I don’t think that’s negative. If I wasn’t ambitious and controlling to a certain extent, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
To the extent that I can serve as a role model or mentor for other women in what might be traditionally viewed as a male-dominated field, I welcome that.
I think people who are artists, actors, singers, great songwriters, they tend to have a hyper state of emotion where they feel things very, very deeply, probably more deeply than the average person walking down the street where it may affect them, but not to the same extent.
There’s a relationship between music and spirituality and inspiration and to a certain extent improvisation that draws me in, because I don’t totally understand it. I know that those relationships have been telling me, since I started making records, where to go. What to write down.
The fame of heroes owes little to the extent of their conquests and all to the success of the tributes paid to them.
I have a pretty active presence on social networking sites, and every day there are messages from so many young girls telling me that they are happy B-Town has curvy women like me. I feel you should be happy the way you are. Of course, fitness is important, but not to the extent of obsession!

As an actor, you want to keep your demons to some extent, but you also have to exorcise them so you can use them instead of them using you.

It’s good to follow the path of personal happiness to some extent. People tend to get upset however when you drive a steamroller down it.
I got my heroes secondhand, from television and movies, to a certain extent.

The Chinese government clearly does pay attention to public opinion expressed on the Internet – the extent to which they choose to adapt their practices based on it, or ignore it, seems to vary.
Whenever I think of my birthplace, Walton-on-Thames, my reference first and foremost is the river. I love the smell of the river; love its history, its gentleness. I was aware of its presence from my earliest years. Its majesty centered me, calmed me, was a solace to a certain extent.

Only 10 percent of people who go to art school will still be making art in 10 years. To some extent, you have to want to do it. It’s hard. It is something you really have to stick with for it to work.
I think the relationship between social-dominance orientation in people and the extent to which they’re made uncomfortable by ambiguity and novelty is really important. Better a stable world that’s familiar, in which I’m doing pretty poorly, than dealing with all the ambiguity of a changing world.

That a society controls, to a greater or lesser extent, the behavior of its members is a universal; but the methods, the particulars of that control, vary from one culture to another.
For the longest time I was brought up listening to only two genres of music, pop and rock. So in the past few years I’ve been trying to expand my interests because I think that you can only write to the extent of your knowledge, and if your knowledge is limited you can’t write past that.
I prefer writing in the mornings, so to that extent I have a routine. I do reading and other things in the afternoon.

To the extent that the academy is producing people who are talking utter nonsense, and imagining that it is sophisticated and enlightened – that system is a failure.
I have done things politically, and I’ve been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I’ve been doing it as a part-time job.
I think there’s a lot of taboos in hip-hop that people try and stay away from. I think a big one is, people are afraid to speak about God to a certain extent, and I think if you’re not free to speak about God, then you’re not free.
To some extent, all authors are a little schizophrenic. We lead most of our lives in solitary confinement, living and breathing the books that we’re writing.
