Life is the same. It would be the same thing if I were still working at Starbucks, having to deal with a manager, and a shift manager. This is a job.
Lots of shy people dress a bit too much. It’s just kind of an armour. People say the same thing about me.
I guess initially I was amazed that somebody would see something within my work that they could really relate to, but the more it’s happened, the more people have come forward, I’ve really realized that we’re all kind of going through the same thing at the same time.
The user in China wants the same thing that any Internet user wants – privacy in conversations, maximum access to information, and the ability to speak their minds online.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, right? I always figure that as you experience life and things, you usually learn and pick up on things that you can do better. That’s how I look at my career over time.
Strange story about Degas. He hated women, didn’t want to be with them. Yet he spent much of his life painting them. He had seen his father maltreat his mother, must have had a deep fear that he’d do the same thing.
You have to surprise opponents, keep them guessing. Doing the same thing over and over again without variation will not work.
You listen to Handel operas, right? And there are a thousand of them, right? And they all sound alike. If I look back on my work, maybe it’s the same thing.
Doing ‘SunTrap’ after ‘The Chase’ is dipping into something different. That’s the whole basis of what I wanted to do with my career. I didn’t want to do the same thing all the time.
My grandmother always used to wear this English perfume called Tuberose and then she died and then I dated this girl who wore the same thing. Every time I hung out with her, I could only think of my recently deceased grandmother. So sometimes a signature scent can be good and sometimes it can be bad.
One of the first albums I can remember hearing was a Supertramp best of, with mostly ‘Breakfast in America’ songs on it. It’s kind of the same thing as the Flaming Lips, where there are these really melancholy lyrics and melodies, yet it’s extremely uplifting. They’re like a nonfuturistic version of the Flaming Lips.
You know, it was uncomfortable doing the same thing. I don’t like a rut.
‘Breaking Bad’ – I’ve heard that question phrased in many directions, and it always means the same thing. It’s when someone can’t… when a decent person can’t take it any more. They just kind of turn and go in the opposite direction.
On ‘Late Night,’ it’s like we’re all in on the joke. That’s what I wanted it to be. I’m not doing something sneaky. Inside jokes, I don’t like those. We can all ride together, and everyone’s on the same thing going, ‘Aha, I know where you’re going here.’
I have the strangest time to get cast in anything. ‘Ghost’ was the same thing. Six months I had to wait for them to decide they had seen everybody possible. Why not? What limits me? I’m black? Oh, am I black?
I was trying to do the same thing that I always do which is make an interesting record.
Sometimes I’m doing a big movie, or sometimes I’m doing a TV show, but as an actor, it’s almost the same thing for me. If I’m doing action, or comedy, or something more heartfelt, it’s a different approach, but it’s all acting for me.
Life’s too short. You may be on this planet for 80 years at best or who knows, but you can’t just pedal around and do the same thing forever.
And more than anything, I like the improvisation of jazz. That’s the same thing with DJ-ing. There’s so much improvisation you can do with cuttin’ and scratchin’ that’s reminiscent of jazz music, because it’s all about how you feel. You’re capturing a vibe and just going with it.
I do read books. I suppose it’s more or less the same thing, but at least I’m alone and I’m an individual. I can stop anytime I want, which I frequently do.
One day for dinner I’ll have fish, then the next day chicken, and then I’ll have steak. I just try to mix it up all the time. I don’t eat the same thing every day.
The format’s better because it gives us a much stronger hand to play when going to the North Koreans unified, with our allies and partners in the region, all of us saying the same thing: telling them their current course is unacceptable.
When I was a kid, I used to think pork chops and karate chops were the same thing.
I am told that the clinical definition of insanity is the tendency to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.
I always have been and will remain someone who loves real, 3D, substantial books. And I don’t believe that it’s a wistful, nostalgic interest like vinyl collectors. It’s not the same thing.
If I have to jump six feet to get the same thing that you have to jump two feet for – that’s how racism works.
The fabric of North Carolina and what makes our state so special is our families and our common desire for a brighter future for our children. No matter what your family looks like, we all want the same thing for our families – happiness, health, prosperity, a bright future for our children and grandchildren.
You’re going to be way happier doing what you actually love and finding other people that love the same thing than doing something that other people love so you’re just cooler and you have cool friends.
Every day, my daddy told me the same thing. ‘Once a task is just begun, never leave it till it’s done. Be the labour great or small, do it well or not at all.’
I’ve had really a great choice of roles that have been very different from one another. And I think I kind of set out to do that when I began my career – to aim to never play the same thing twice.
Honestly, ‘Side A’ is supposed to be a project just from my heart and whatever is happening in my heart at the time, and I want ‘Side B’ to also fit that same thing.
It wasn’t until my fifth or sixth book where I realized I’m trying to do the same thing in every story I tell, which is bring everybody together in the same room.
You know, I’m behind my company. My company has been a big part of my life. And it’s not that I been buying a company or that my father bought a company and tried to do something out of it. You know, it’s not the same thing. It’s my name, it’s my company, it’s my signature.
To think well and to consent to obey someone giving good advice are the same thing.
Coltrane was moving out of jazz into something else. And certainly Miles Davis was doing the same thing.
To confront those fears, in a controlled environment, where there’s 300 people around you going through the same thing, it’s this weird sort of yin and yang.
My ‘Big Bang Theory’ costar Johnny Galecki went off the grid. He bought a huge ranch and goes there every weekend. He keeps telling me to do the same thing, but I don’t know if I’m that committed. The Valley is as far off the grid as I’m going to go.
I usually listen to the same thing over and over again: Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major. And Leonard Cohen.
You had two men who knew the exact same thing, which is Russia did meddle in the elections. I think President Trump wanted to make sure that President Putin was aware that he was acknowledging it, that he knew it. I think President Putin did what we all expected him to do, which was deny it.
For me, comedy and drama are all the same thing.
The average person has eight different jobs over the course of their lifetime. You get a little antsy doing the same thing.
Literally, my earliest memory, my earliest vivid memory, is the Apollo 11 landing on the Moon. Yeah, I was in fourth grade, and I was just so captivated. And I think you’ll find a lot of space scientists of my generation will say the same thing. Apollo was a big event for them.
I’m writing, and just doing the same thing I always do.
Sometimes when you have multimedia, people use it too much. It has to be a tool and not the end product, if you can use it as a tool. The same thing apples when you are recording. We had this problem in the 80’s, we got so computerized there was no heart and soul in the music anymore.
It’s said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. In that case, the WWE ‘creative’ team must be as crazy as a rainbow trout in a car wash.
If you do the same thing every night, that’s the death of music.
