These films however, have ambiguity built into them, because it’s too easy in film to make a strident work of propaganda or advertising, which are really the same thing anyway, meaning the message is unmistakable.
The main tenet of design thinking is empathy for the people you’re trying to design for. Leadership is exactly the same thing – building empathy for the people that you’re entrusted to help.
Will and intellect are one and the same thing.
I love acting because you don’t have to do the same thing over and over again, every day, and that’s what attracted me to wanting to do this for a living. So to be given an opportunity to create something completely different and live that out is the dream. It’s incredibly rewarding.
You perform for a different audience each night. People who don’t understand just think that you go out there every night and do the same thing, but you don’t – you have to find out who they are and give it to them.
I’ve always wanted to do right in life. But the wanting and the doing aren’t quite the same thing.
I was kind of like chasing my tail and trying to do the right thing, and was a little bit stupid. Or irresponsible, which is the same thing I guess. It’s just been really busy and I had a lot of great opportunities.
I’ve never met an animal I didn’t like, and I can’t say the same thing about people.
I think a lot of superheroes seem to have the same value system; they just have a different costume. They’re all doing exactly the same thing.
I try to eat almost the same thing every day, as it makes food shopping and what to eat much easier as well as healthier.
I think it’s easy for me to connect to some people, and I don’t know if that’s the same thing as falling in love whereas before, I might have said it was.
In football, time and space are the same thing.
Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be our best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth; it’s a shield.
You either learn from your experiences or go back and do the same thing, and I learned from my experiences.
Certainly it’s a business and you’ve got to have a salesman, but in my mind, when you’ve got two guys doing the same thing, you don’t need one of them.
I don’t think a prostitute is more moral than a wife, but they are doing the same thing.
It’s a bit like some martial arts: if you’re behind somebody there’s not much they can do, if you’re in a certain position. So same thing with a fish, if you’re in the right position you’re okay. As soon as you get in the wrong position you can be in very real danger.
I think most producers and MCs are constantly in this competition, but it’s usually with yourself. It’s usually wanting to be innovative: wanting to catch yourself when you’re doing the same thing or throwing out the same art you’ve already done.
I hope for peace and sanity – it’s the same thing.
About 25 years ago, I started out as a reporter covering politics. And that sort of just evolved into organized crime, because organized crime and politics were the same thing in Boston.
Well, I look at it like this: When you go to a restaurant, the less you know about what happens in the kitchen, the more you enjoy your meal. If the soup tastes good, everything’s cool, and you don’t necessarily want to know what’s in it. The same thing holds true with movies.
If we’re still talking about the same thing 40 or 50 years later, then that means we’re not doing anything about it.
The growth of our understanding of the world through science weakens some of the motivation which makes people believers. But that’s not the same thing as saying they’re incompatible. It’s just that I think some of the traditional reasons for belief, going back thousands of years, are rather undermined.
I was struck after 9/11 by what seemed the assumption that everyone bereaved by that event was suffering the same thing. I wanted to explore how individual grief is, how complicated, how colored by the complexity of the mourner’s relationship with the person who’s died.
I’d like to think that the nature of the two teams – Boston being a championship team over the years and the Lakers, same thing – was a lot bigger than Larry Bird or Magic Johnson.
My father was a classical singer of baroque music, and my older sister was in musical theatre, and I thought about doing the same thing but then realised straight acting was for me.
Melodrama and melodramatic are not the same thing, and often people make the mistake of confusing the two.
I never thought I was doing the same thing as directors like John Carpenter, George Romero, and sometimes even Hitchcock, even though I’ve been sometimes compared to those other guys. We’re after different game.
It’s certain that the death of an actor can be on a television screen playing the same thing every week.
We always talked about the sequel to ‘Clown’ being called ‘Clowns,’ like an ‘Alien’/’Aliens’ sorta thing, where you have multiple clowns. And just really make it, in the way that ‘Aliens’ was an action movie, do the same thing. Action-horror. That would be great.
I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you’re going through to realize that you’re not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it’s not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.
I always tell people, when they ask me what to do to be a writer or to be a performer, the key is to go to a place where there are a lot of other people who are trying to do the same thing as you and taking it very seriously.
I’ve really got no complaints about the way I played, just extremely frustrating with the putter and I’m sure there’s a lot of other players saying the same thing except the guy who’s going to win the golf tournament.
In a situation where many national leaders do the same thing and look out for national interests, and with an issue like global warming, you’re likely to get no solution, so I think you have to have some kind of ethical trump on some of those issues.
Many times, I get young people asking, ‘What do you think about black movies?’ And I say, ‘What are you talking about? You mean Hollywood movies that have black people in them?’ It’s gone back to that, and that’s not the same thing as a black movie.
The Iranians don’t want the same thing we do in Iraq, not really; they want to control Iraq… the Ayatollah hates the United States; the Iranians are enemies of the United States.
I feel really fortunate that I’ve been given a lot of roles that were very different from each other. For me, variety is the key. I don’t want to play the same thing over and over again.
It’s very much like opera singers. They do the same thing. The first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, the thing they think about is their voice and how to take care of it.
NASCAR stepped up their safety concepts, and I think the drivers feel NASCAR is doing everything that can be done. So we are a little behind NASCAR in that respect. Someone in NASCAR realized there were certain things that could be done to make it safer. The same thing has to happen in football.
When a celebrity is spotted carrying a particular bag, everybody wants to own the same thing.
Objecting to someone because of his religious beliefs is not the same thing as prejudice based on religious heritage, race, or gender.
I’m the perfect amount of guarded. I don’t reveal too much, and I never reveal who the songs are about. They are real life. People get that. I date a lot of musicians and they do the same thing. People that work with me – who I write about too – they get it. It’s my creative outlet, my therapy.
Personally speaking, growing up as a gay man before it was as socially acceptable as it is now, I knew what it was to feel different, to feel alienated and to feel not like everyone else. But the very same thing that made me monstrous to some people also empowered me and made me who I was.
I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don’t want to do the same thing all the time.
I’m really kind of a little bit romantic for the lost era. There’s a lot of us that are – kind like James Murphy, same thing – we feel like it’s this magic era that happened before us. And it wasn’t even necessarily disco.
When people blanket a whole class of people with statements, I just think that is unfair to everybody. I could do the same thing about media. I can do the same thing about politicians or lawyers, and they’re just never accurate.
I don’t want to do roles in films which I have already done on TV. What is the point of jumping to films and doing the same thing?
My point of view is, I’m just a person, and there are times when I look at other people and think, ‘My God, they spend so much time thinking about things that seem so absurd.’ But I’m sure people must think the same thing about me.
A live performance is the same no matter what genre it is. Wrestling, rock ‘n roll, hosting, acting – it’s the same thing.
How is it we could have a system where schools could remain lousy for 50 years and yet you do exactly the same thing this year that they did 50 years ago when it didn’t work then, and no one feels any pressure to change?
We’re all the same. We all want the same thing in life. Everybody going around like ants and we all want the same thing. And it’s not one queen. It’s not one queen with the wings.
