Having plants and flowers in my space makes me feel very calm and Zen. For me, it’s important to meditate every morning to be very clear in the head, and nature really helps me do the same thing.
I love the movies. Everyone always says the same thing about the shared cultural experience, seeing things on the big screen, the church of the cinema… But on top of all that, as a filmmaker, I love having people be trapped in a movie theater, forcing them to watch what I made.
I find a place I love and want to tell people about it. Same thing with Photoshop tips. When I discover a cool tip, I can’t keep it to myself.
When we’re upset, our vocal cords tighten and we can’t speak. And when I lie – well, I can’t lie, because the same thing happens – everyone who knows me knows that when I start squeaking, I’ve started lying.
It was always the cliche of men leaving their wives for younger women. The playing field is sort of even now. Women make their own salaries. They can do the exact same thing and can have a younger man.
I think, as an actress, people get on your case if you do the same thing over and over again. But if you get too far away from that, people don’t like that, either.
Fundamentally, all writing is about the same thing; it’s about dying, about the brief flicker of time we have here, and the frustration that it creates.
Singing is something I do every day – not every other month. When I touch the mic, the same thing happens every time.
I’d make a comment at a meeting and nobody would even acknowledge me. Then some man would say the same thing and they’d all nod.
These men ask for just the same thing, fairness, and fairness only. This, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have.
Nirvana was like that- Nirvana was like the only band to come out of that- it was like the same thing, Seattle was like this whole scene and it was like this big scene that was thrust upon America.
People called rock & roll ‘African music.’ They called it ‘voodoo music.’ They said that it would drive the kids insane. They said that it was just a flash in the pan – the same thing that they always used to say about hip-hop.
I wear the same thing every day. I always pack two black jackets, loads of black T-shirts, loads of white jeans. I feel a little fresh and glamorous and graphic.
If an ordinary person parks outside another ordinary person’s house for a week, it’s considered stalking. If, however, that person is considered newsworthy, it’s perfectly legal for paparazzi to do the same thing.
I don’t think I win most interviews. For instance, with Fidel Castro, I only spoke with him one minute and three seconds. But I think he won because I couldn’t get anything from him. With the former president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, it happened exactly the same thing.
I write in a diary every night to collect my thoughts. It’s very therapeutic to songwrite, because it’s the same thing.
First and foremost, Howard Cosell is sports. There are all these people, these fans, who claim that when Cosell does a game on television, they turn off the sound on the TV and listen to the radio broadcast. Oh, sure. You probably know critics in your neighborhood who vow the same thing. Well, too bad for them.
This country is about, in my judgment, aggressive, open debate. There is an old saying: When everyone is thinking the same thing, no one is thinking very much.
In any film business, if you’re trying to get your next film made, you would never say, ‘Oh, my last film was a cult film.’ I’d say, ‘Oh, great, well I hope this one isn’t!’ I always say to Johnny Knoxville, ‘How do you do it? You sort of do the same thing we did, except you made millions, and I made hundreds.’
I did go through graduate school and I like to do research, to create something that has a certain objective solidity. The same thing influences my fiction to some degree, because, you know, my fiction is often based on history that I’ve read.
I’ve got quite a big fan base, and people like to see you do the same thing – that’s why you get offered the same roles.
None of my movies have ever made any money, so it’s not about commercial success for me. It’s always the same thing. I want to create something valuable, something unusual and different that the world has never seen.
Whether you’re keeping a journal or writing as a meditation, it’s the same thing. What’s important is you’re having a relationship with your mind.
Mostly, theater becomes blander and blander as everyone wants the same thing they saw before. The good plays are the ones that don’t allow you to do that.
If all you’re trying to do is essentially the same thing as your rivals, then it’s unlikely that you’ll be very successful.
Just because you don’t know if other people are experiencing the same thing as you are, it doesn’t mean that it’s not happening. Everybody doesn’t necessarily share everything. Just know that what you’re going through, other people are going through it, too.
You know when you become friends with someone, you don’t even remember? When you weren’t friends? You’re just kinda like, ‘When were we not friends? When I met you, weren’t we just already friends?’ I have the same thing with the Strokes guys.
I always kept the fans happy. They always saw a different Rey, whether it was a mask, a design, a color. I never gave them the same thing twice and always kept them on their feet. They were always excited to see what Rey was going to bring to the table.
We can decide to kneel to the mob and kneel to the state, cede all of our power over to the federal government, and then, you know, be confined to the ash heap of history. Or we can decide to come together and realize that we all want the same thing, which is a better America.
Media always comments if I wear the same thing twice.
I’ve yet to be on a campus where most women weren’t worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I’ve yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.
I think that what went wrong with religion is the same thing that went wrong with politics. Is that it became too money based and too controlling. It’s just a weakness that we human beings have for control – we want one thing and then we want more and then we want more.
When I was in high school, I wasn’t thinking about getting a scholarship. I was thinking about trying to go and dominate. Same thing in college. I just have to focus on playing the best football I can.
One of the problems with the fiasco of suburbia is that it destroyed our understanding of the distinction between the country and the town, between the urban and the rural. They’re not the same thing.
The way I become friends with somebody is a slow process. You can’t just spill your guts and tell them everything about yourself and expect them to listen and understand you because you don’t know them. It’s the same thing with a relationship.
We fully believed, so soon as we saw that woman’s suffrage was right, every one would soon see the same thing, and that in a year or two, at farthest, it would be granted.
There are writers who do start doing the same thing again and again and almost inevitably fall into self-parody.
You need better technique than I have to play jazz, but what you have to do is the same thing, isn’t it?
I live in a little suburb close to Kansas City called Prairie Village, where there’s a feeling of everybody knowing everybody else. I think the same thing is true of New York City, by the way.
To aim at the best and to remain essentially ourselves is one and the same thing.
As an architect, you have to provide a shelter to enjoy art. And you have to love art. It’s like when you make a concert hall. You must love music. This is the reason why you make the space, to enjoy music – making a space for art is the same thing.
You may love football, but that doesn’t mean you have any business trying to play the sport. It’s the same thing with filmmaking… everybody has a great idea for a movie, but do you have the stamina to get good at your craft and deal with how heartbreaking it is?
Ultimately, the best driver will always do something special, whatever the rules and whatever the regulations. Same thing with the teams.
When my boys were little, I’d throw so many toys at them, but they didn’t want to play with any. Then I’d give them a truck, and they would play for hours. I believe the same thing applies to a consumer – edit their choices, and they will be more intrigued.
Kind of like Google crawls the Web, we crawl the social networks. Where Google analyzes links and Web pages, we look at the same thing with people. So we can tell, for example, who you interact with more frequently. Or if it’s not frequency, maybe it’s consistency.
No two people who make a movie on a certain budget scale are going to achieve the same thing because it just depends on what sort of favors you can call, and what sort of dynamics you can pull in the play.
I was up late last night yapping about the elections on CNN and up early this morning doing the same thing in my daughter’s kindergarten class.
Everyone wants to learn the same thing from painful situations: how to avoid repeating them.
We had to do the same thing here. To top that sequel was quite a task. Mike had a couple of good conceptual humour and character ideas, which got me back into it.
