I like to think what I bring to the table is kind of a sympathetic and endearing quality, even while I’m playing outcasts or characters that end up in outlandish situations.
I have my own experience in Indonesia, of course. Sometimes in these transition situations, the new governments are still clumsy and awkward in responding to this new environment in which they operate. The only thing in their DNA is the old regime.
The process of open adoption is not discussed in the way it should be. Everyone I know who has adopted domestically has at least one tragic story. It was important to me to be able to describe those situations.
SpongeBob is a complete innocent – not an idiot. SpongeBob never fully realizes how stupid Patrick is. They’re whipping themselves up into situations – that’s always where the humor comes from.
The fun part about doing our movies is that you’re creating something using the talents of people rather than finding these pathetic people who are thrust into these situations. That, to me, is completely artless.
I like stories where normal people are in abnormal situations, and that’s what appeals to me about history.
When I first started coming to Calcutta, it brought back a lot of memories… the hardships I went through, the situations I was placed in, and the possibilities of those situations becoming so hostile.
Maybe in my life I sort of put myself in situations that were chaotic, outside of my life.
I think writers process their own experiences through the characters and situations they write. So for Batman, I used my own experience of losing a loved one. Grief is a strange place; it’s like an altered state. You might sleep too much, so you can see the dead in your dreams.
I lived for going down the rabbit hole of meeting weird people. Of course, come Monday I would be tallying up all the different situations, and each one was progressively more dangerous. I got lucky in that I didn’t go to jail.
I think music has the power to transform people, and in doing so, it has the power to transform situations – some large and some small.
I’ve gotten myself into some difficult situations because I couldn’t say no.
5G will be a major technology in growing industrial digitalisation, creating and enhancing industry digitalisation use cases such as immersive gaming, autonomous driving, remote robotic surgery, and augmented reality support in maintenance and repair situations.
If I told a lie, then I got to come back and correct it years later. I hate that I have to be the person that touch on their life and be personal and be direct with certain situations, but man, I’m glad that it’s me than them.
Look, I think the notion that there’s a dogma or doctrine of foreign policy that gives you a textbook recipe for how to react to all situations is really nonsense.
Emotions are the same to all human beings. But there is some difference in the way people react to situations.
If I’m really under pressure to get work done, I can adapt to most situations, but I prefer to be at home, in a comfortable chair, with as few distractions as possible.
Whenever I do the sign of the cross, it always brings comfort in situations when you are faced with adversity and stress.
I can usually find my own way out of whatever dicey literary or linguistic situations I wander into, but I have to work much harder at the science.
People are impatient. They want things to happen overnight, and have no idea of the circumstances and situations that can surround an individual at times.
I have survivor skills. Some of that is superficial – what I present to people outwardly – but what makes people resilient is the ability to find humour and irony in situations that would otherwise overpower you.
This is how to avoid re-creating painful situations: Take the time to discover your real intention before you act. If it is to change someone or the world so that you will feel safe or better about yourself, don’t act on it, because it is an intention of fear and can create only painful consequences.
Twilight’ has a supernatural reference to it with werewolves and vampires. ‘Harry Potter’ has magic. ‘The Hunger Games’ is about real people put into extreme situations and circumstances.
It would be a lot different for me because there is a lot of information that you need to know about as a player. How pitchers are pitching you, how defenses are playing, certain situations about certain pitchers.
I really try to put myself in uncomfortable situations. Complacency is my enemy.
Venus told me the other day that champions don’t get nervous in tight situations. That really helped me a lot. I decided I shouldn’t get nervous and just do the best I can.
I don’t like people knowing about my business, and my situation, so I try to keep out of people’s situations unless they come to me and ask for help.
I got an M.F.A. in acting from NYU, and part of our training is to learn how to use swords in combat situations in a performance and Shakespeare plays where you have to fight.
Light is a powerful substance. We have a primal connection to it. But, for something so powerful, situations for its felt presence are fragile.
I always see the absurdity in most situations. It’s my experience of how life works.
I love to throw myself into situations where I don’t understand everything yet.
But I have always – ever since The Accidental Woman – written novels about individuals attempting to make choices in the context of situations over which they have no control.
Some situations are so hopeless when you look at them from the outside you say, Why are they still married?
A society that’s provided for by television is a society that says it doesn’t need too many parks or natural situations for children to play in because television will look after them.
And I believe that if we can care about whether or not our neighbor has a good job or access to affordable health care for their children, and we move to implement the policies that can improve these situations, we will unleash vast amounts of human potential and recapture the American spirit.
Everybody should spend some quality time with their family members and try to make the best out of bad situations.
Because I started my career in improv, performing with Second City and the Ace Trucking Company, I always enjoy being in situations where – as an actor – you have to think fast & be light on your feet.
I love plays. Even bad ones. I like the fact that actual live, breathing people are standing before you in tense situations that you are not personally responsible for.
I definitely see myself as a leader. One of the ways I’ve been lucky enough to lead and likely to continue to lead is just my actions and the way that I approach the game and working hard and being a player that steps up in big-time situations when plays need to be made.
I show women growing, changing, becoming stronger in many kinds of situations.
My heroes and heroines are often unlikely people who are dragged into situations without meaning to become involved, or people with a past that has never quite left them. They are often isolated, introspective people, often confrontational or anarchic in some way, often damaged or secretly unhappy or incomplete.
All the great novels, all the great films, all the great dramas are fictions that actually tell us the truth about us or about human nature or about human situations without being tied into the minutia of documentary events. Otherwise we might as well just make documentaries.
I get uncomfortable and kind of scared sometimes of certain public situations because, since I’ve been on TV or I’ve appeared in some films, people think this boundary between us has been removed, and I owe them something.
I think I’ve still got a bit of a sado-masochistic streak in me, because if I’m not going to be restricted by corsets and covered in lace, then I still wind up wearing an ape-mask over my face. I do wonder how I get myself in these situations!
If you are you, 24 hours a day, then you do not have to remember who you are supposed to be in different situations – something that I imagine could be troublesome.
In social situations, when I’m surrounded by people, I become very shy. But if there’s a camera in front of me, I feel free.
I love any and all situations where you celebrate creativity.
I mean, horror films in general put humans in these awful supernatural or horrible situations, but ‘Cabin In The Woods’ cranks it up a few notches and becomes outrageous and totally bizarre.
The mind as well as the body must be not only strong but well disciplined in order to act with promptness and vigor in new and untried situations. It is hard to turn men’s minds from the old and deeply worn channels in which they have long been flowing.
I don’t see why it’s such a stretch for distributors, buyers, and studios to put cartoon characters into adult situations on film.
Nature abhors a hero. For one thing, he violates the law of conservation of energy. For another, how can it be the survival of the fittest when the fittest keeps putting himself in situations where he is most likely to be creamed?
I try my best to confront situations because I know, at the end of the day, you can deal with it or it will deal with you. I’ve had enough experience to know that that’s how it goes down. There’s no going around it.
