I punch a lot of guys on set. It’s much easier than in real life as your hands don’t hurt afterwards. The key is that you miss.
When you refer to terra entities, you ornately say Mother Nature and Mother Earth. How much honour and care do all of us accord to any of the three – including our real life mother?
Even though I make those movies, I find myself wishing that more of those magic moments could happen in real life.
Real life? Well, I just hope mine isn’t investigated. They might find that I don’t really exist – that I’m just a hologram.
When I see a cutie in front at a concert, I say, ‘Ohhh, you’re so cute! What’s your name?’ But I wouldn’t do that in real life.
I’m like anyone; I make a lot of my assumptions about actors I don’t know from what I read about them. And then I’ll find those judgments are often completely confounded when I meet them in real life.
Things from real life are the things that get people laughing.
Celebrities do look different in real life from our images of them – there is a big gap. And that is what my work is about: the gap between the image and the celebrity themselves.
In Paris, we call the people who make clothing ‘couturiers’ – they develop new clothing items – but actually, the work of designing is to make something that works in real life.
In real life, I’m always in tracksuits, and I never wear makeup.
In real life, I’m pretty much an eternal optimist.
Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith weren’t polite. They were against the grain. And that’s what we want our music to be: rude, aggressive… like real life.
I was very serene, and I still am, until I start talking in another voice, then suddenly I have a lot of volume and I’m frantic. But I didn’t want to be one of those people who’s always talking in accents in real life, so I started doing sketch comedy.
My language is a feel-thinking language, feeling and thinking at once, that is why it is a celebration of life, and at once it is a denunciation of everything that is not allowed in life to be real life, it’s plenitude.
Maggie Smith is an amazing woman, and not as serious in real life.
The best fiction is geared towards conflict. We learn most about our characters through tension, when they are put up against insurmountable obstacles. This is true in real life.
My two boys were the same ages as the kids in the show. In real life or in between the breaks I was raising two kids off camera who were not unlike the two kids who were being paid to be my kids.
I mean, I’m pretty good in real life, but sometimes people seem surprised that I’m like a normal teenager and wear black nail polish and I’m just a little bit more edgy than the person I play on television.
Sometimes I get to put on posh frocks and be Madam Glamour, the vendor of my wares. My lovely friend Kath, a stylist, puts me into things I’d never dream of. But my real life is very different. It’s very, very home-based – an intense domestic life, that’s the core of everything.
The greatest thrill is that moment when a thousand people are sitting in the dark, looking at the same scene, and they are all apprehending something that has not been spoken. That’s the thrill of it, the miracle – that’s what holds us to movies forever. It’s what we wish we could do in real life.
All movies aren’t fun; some are hard work. You try to do something and convey a set of emotions that have to do with some real life kind of stuff.
I guess I probably make violent films partly because I can’t express my anger in my real life very well.
I get bullied for my size, my weight, and my look constantly. It’s something that I’m glad we touched on in WWE. I’m glad we touched on it because it’s real: it’s something that happens in real life to kids all the time, especially in the age of cyber bullying.
In real life I’m very low-key. A wallflower. One of the reasons I went into comedy and acting was that I was sick of being shy.
And in real life endings aren’t always neat, whether they’re happy endings, or whether they’re sad endings.
In my real life, I wear a T-shirt, gray or white, and the same pair of jeans. Literally, the same pair of jeans every day.
I think that if writers don’t speak about real life, it’s because they don’t know it.
Pleasure has ever more been represented by poets and by painters as clothed in perpetual smiles and adorned with the richest jewels; and in real life, we have known many who, allured by her deceptions, blandishments, and hollow but showy temptations, have followed as she pointed until ruin has befallen them.
I actually thought, like, I was sure ‘Get Smart’ and, like, ‘James Bond’ movies, I was sure that that’s what real life was like.
I’m not really gangsta. Not at all. I just write about them. It’s fun to pretend, at least on paper. But in real life, not so much.
Developing Christlike attributes in our lives is not an easy task, especially when we move away from generalities and abstractions and begin to deal with real life. The test comes in practicing what we proclaim.
When you’re a child, and you’re growing up, and you’re mimicking a certain character, or you’re trying to live and breathe a certain character on set for eight years that are also your formative years, you oftentimes take a lot of who you’re playing into your real life and kind of become that thing.
I touch up photos so people look as good in their photographs as they did in real life.
Tooting my own horn is of no interest to me… it takes you away from real life. It’s a waste, and I don’t find a need to sing my own praises.
Somewhere during the ‘Next to Normal’ Broadway run, I found myself learning more about myself onstage than in real life, and I truly realized the beautiful, tremendous, extraordinary gift that is performing.
Humor is very interesting to me. My films are not comedies, but there’s comedy in them from time to time, absurdities, just like in real life.
All I know is real life. I don’t know how to act. I don’t know how to pretend.
Shouting on TV feels like it almost gives viewers licence to do it in real life.
I did not enter the industry to create a certain image. People happened to see me as the friend/sister/daughter next door. I like that association very much. It’s close to what I am in real life. As for films, I just focus on the job.
I don’t know if you guys have ever kissed anybody in real life, but it doesn’t always go as planned. It’s not always pretty. It doesn’t always look like a movie. It usually looks more like ‘American Pie.’
Playing the good guy is tough because you know as well as I do, in real life, you have to watch your P’s and Q’s and conduct yourself in a respectable manner if you expect to have friends.
There are reasons people seek escape in books, and one of those reasons is that the boundary of what can happen is beyond what we do – or would want to see in real life.
I’ve never scratched, or punched, or slapped anybody in my real life.
With one or two children at home, I feel that parents concentrate too much on them and hence children lose touch with reality. They get whatever they desire and fail to understand that in real life you may or may not get what you wish for.
In real life, too, women love to be that girl who tames the bad boy.
If the role is challenging enough, I don’t see why I shouldn’t play an older man or a father figure. It is not about playing what you are in real life. We are called actors for a reason!
I had my life Monday through Friday in school, and then I had my ‘real life,’ which was my acting class on Saturday.
In real life, I am emotionally confused, which enables me to write songs. I’m a Pisces, and they say that Pisces are very sensitive. If men were just honest with themselves, they would see that they all have that side.
In real life, I’d say that your commitment-phobe/narcissist/bad boy boyfriend is a lost cause, but romance is shelved in fiction for a reason.
A lot of times, real life is more surreal than writing.
Reality always outstrips fiction. Whatever you make up, something more incredible always pops up in real life.
I’m great at fake typing but in real life terrible.
I wish my real life could be as simple and scripted as it is on television.
I was on the lookout for something different, as I was exhausted with the fiction space. When I was asked to host ‘Tujhse Naaraz Nahin Zindagi,’ it was not as an actor but as an individual, and on being explained the concept, I found it interesting and accepted it since it was about real people and real life.
It’s funny, because people always say when they meet me, having read me – or they read me, having met me – that they are struck by how the tone is pretty similar, in real life and in the books.
I wouldn’t say you have an online life and a real life. I think technology is just mapping and organizing what already exists.
I’ve always kind of ripped from real life to some degree or at least how I’m feeling in the moment. In fact, maybe that’s really it. In anything I’ve ever written, all the characters sound like me, which I don’t think is a bad thing.
Most people who know me know I’m not switched on all the time. I don’t like to be like that in real life, because it’s draining.
If you work hard in real life, people tend to get in your way – either from inertia or prejudice – and they stop you achieving things. It’s the worst thing about real life compared with sports, where you generally get what you deserve: if you’re the fastest guy, you win; there are no other games being played.
