Power is the agency to effect change, pure and simple. The more power you have, the clearer and less frictional the trajectory from an idea in your mind to its birth in real life.
I grew up watching Salman Khan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who have always juggled fitness with acting. In real life, I’m a fitness freak. Besides, it is nice to look at an actor who is fit, and if you become a role model, that’s a perk.
Express yourself. Tell us who you are. If you would never wear pearls in real life, don’t wear them when you get married.
In real life, that’s how we’re moving around. We look at things while we’re walking and moving and turning around. We stare at objects in the world.
The character in ‘Arya’ was so close to my real life persona. The director saw me once and felt I was the right guy for the role because my body language was so flamboyant. In real life, too, I am very peppy and full of life.
And people are intrigued if I really am as grumpy in real life. People feel a bit let down if I’m laughing or smiling.
In real life, I’m very rational, and I’m not very dramatic.
I made contours and all that, but in real life, you have to be very careful with that because you can go out in the street and look terrible. All those girls who show how to do contour, they do it quite well, but they’re like makeup artists. They’re in artificial light.
Every book has some real life in it. I was never pursued by an evil twin clone, but everything else in MR. MURDER was pretty much out of my own life.
I should only have been as lucky as Valentino, in the movies – I didn’t have to be a gigolo. In real life.
I think, first of all, every time you want to play somebody who is real is always challenging and always scary, because you are given a responsibility of someone’s real life.
It’s fun playing villains. It’s people who are not held by any moral constraints – or any constraints, for that matter. It’s a chance to be completely off the leash and do things that you never could in real life.
I do think that people have moments of realisation in real life – even if it’s on their death beds – when they suddenly think, ‘Jesus – what did I do?’
I am a happy-go-lucky guy in real life. I like to chat a lot.
The Will Smith that you see in movies is exactly the same as Will Smith in real life. Except for when he plays a superhero, because the real Will Smith can’t fly. He can only hover.
I’m very sensitive in real life. I cannot not cry if someone around me is crying. I will start to cry if someone is crying, even if it’s not appropriate. I have that thing in me, a weakness or sensitivity.
I loved all of the ‘Zenon’ movies. Those were my jam mostly because of the fashion. I loved something about the space buns and the weird neon colors. I couldn’t just wear that in real life because people would look weirdly at me, but maybe at a party or something.
My father has a general rule. He says if I haven’t done it in real life I shouldn’t do it on-screen.
I grew up as a Christian, and one of the many things in Christian mythology that did not dovetail with real life is that human beings are not monochromatic in their being.
I am not at all computer literate in real life. I haven’t yet found a reason to be. Once I find a reason why I need to be on the Internet, then I will be.
My social media world is detached from my friendship world. I’ll have friends in real life that I don’t follow on social media, because I don’t really look at social media as the way of connecting to friends. For me, social media is like a business tool.
I believe any fiction writer is inspired by real life.
People are apprehensive about finding ‘The Leftovers’ funny because it’s such a dark circumstance, but I think, really, what the show is about is examining how different people deal with loss. There are elements of humour and levity and irony in that… just like in real life.
People are more than their first impressions. And even if someone seems like a lot, or seems this way or that way, it doesn’t mean they’re not a three-dimensional person, with a real life.
I am a California girl, born and raised, so flip-flops and cutoff shorts are my go-to look. An easy Angeleno uniform, so to speak. But for my role on ‘Suits,’ I’m dressed in Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford, and Prada almost every day. And therein lies the difference. For work, I wear art; in real life, I wear clothes.
I mostly don’t submit to talking about my work because I would like another talk about real life.
In real life I can play guitar, sure, but badly.
‘Mr. Majnu’ is a modern and passionate love and he loves to be around girls, they love him too. But, I’m nothing like that in real life.
In real life, I am trying to save the Steve Irwin wildlife preserve. It’s in Australia, up on Cape York, and it’s in danger of being strip-mined.
I love it if comedy reflects real life because to me it’s more reassuring that we’ll get through.
If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn’t be so adored in the slightest.
I don’t think there is anything magical about the language of flowers in real life or in my book.
If you look in real life, it is very hard to describe people as good people, bad people, heroes or villains. People aren’t bad people. They all have their justifications.
I spend plenty of time in London and it doesn’t scare me, but it’s a lonely place, even if you’ve got friends there. My job takes me all around the world, meeting lots of interesting people. But I think if I couldn’t get home, if I couldn’t get back to what I consider my real life I’d be frightened.
The music industry’s actions at the time of 9/11 and since have been actions driven by patriotism in most instances, and greed and stupidity to a lesser degree. Sounds like real life doesn’t it?
I think, with music, I’m a lyricist who talks about real life things.
I write because I have an innate need to. I write because I can’t do normal work. I write because I want to read books like the ones I write. I write because I am angry at everyone. I write because I love sitting in a room all day writing. I write because I can partake of real life only by changing it.
If you’re an artist, you want to draw from real life; you want to draw from experiences, emotion, and it’s something that a lot of musicians juggle with. I’ve always found it so fascinating.
In an era of social everything, we want to spark possibility and opportunity in the creative arts, in real life, person to person.
I think that if a writer doesn’t use her voice, be it in her writing or online or in real life, then what is the point of having one?
My favorite hobby is matchmaking. It’s a lot easier to do it in movies then in real life because in real life, people don’t do what I tell them to do.
I can be overly confident at times, but with someone who I’m very close to, like with my mother, I will break down. In real life, people will find out that I’m not actually that confident and that I’m a real guy underneath it all.
I definitely hand myself over to the hair and makeup gods of ‘Girls.’ Our look on the show is very specific, and it’s different from mine in real life, although I’ve definitely learned things from working with both the hair and makeup people for the show.
I did flirt with the idea of going to law school, but not for long. Maybe I’ll play a lawyer one day – the beauty of acting is that you can try on so many different roles without having to commit to them in real life.
I’ve never really thought of my real life – you know, the one I wake up to and fall asleep to at night – as being a pop star’s life.
When you don’t get what you want, it just makes you accept real life.
A reflection of an exact image is the closest thing to you-so that you can see it-but it’s far enough away so that you really understand it. There is real life in this movie, but it hovers just an inch above reality.
I write about real life as it is lived by the young American Muslim women that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting throughout the course of my travels as a writer and being able to speak in different places and meet different people at signings and things.
Reality is the richest thing there is, the most important thing there is. Our imagination allows us to live an artificial life that is wonderful, extremely rich, but I don’t believe any artist would dare to say that artifice is better than real life.
In real life, coincidences happen all the time. In novels, they are leapt upon with fury.
I can’t say that I fully relate to things that I play. Sometimes it’s nice to spend half the day crying; then you don’t have to do it in real life.
In real life, Oxford and Cambridge are two excellent universities, like many others in the country. They are full of highly intelligent, hard-working, and quite ordinary students and teachers.
People come up to me and say, ‘You look so much better in real life.’
We try to magnify the difference between Americans and the English. In real life they like the same music and dress the same. It’s really much more similar than anyone thinks or how we show it.
My records are basically a litany of complaints against the world, and I’m quite like that in real life as well.
I think the kids that struggle are way more prepared for real life.
