Rarely do I attach guilt to something pleasant. Life’s too short.
People who jump to conclusions rarely alight on them.
If kept dry, a chocolate with a high cacao content, I’ve discovered, rarely spoils.
Rarely do I do film press because I’m so low on the food chain of the movie, and for me it’s just this thing I did for four weeks before the next tour started.
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) cannot be medicated. It is treatable only through therapy. The problem is therapy is rarely sought by the afflicted. It cannot be cured.
We have indeed been fortunate in this country. Over the last 200 some odd years since our Nation was founded, rarely have there been attacks upon our homeland.
I’ve worked on enough campaigns to know that the most aggrieved candidate rarely emerges victorious.
Justice can rarely exist without honesty.
Only a stomach that rarely feels hungry scorns common things.
Absolutely, I don’t believe in rules. As I tell my daughter when she is mischievous, ‘Well-behaved women rarely make history.’
I’m very rarely in the gym. My workouts are predominantly outside, in nature.
A great idea can’t succeed without a great operator. But rarely can a great operator squeak by with a bad idea. So, as pithy as it sounds to say ‘It’s all about the people,’ I only invest when I think I have found the right team for the right business.
I’ve rarely seen portrayals of photojournalists that seem accurate.
I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.
Acting and directing are two separate disciplines that rarely mix.
Mary Joe Fernandez rarely has a bad loss. She never tries for stupid shots.
Paradoxically, since gay men rarely have gay parents, cultural transmission must come from friends or strangers (a problem since the generations so seldom mix in gay life).
I rarely believe anything, because at the time of believing I am not really there to believe.
Grand economic theories rarely last more than a few decades. Some, if they are particularly in tune with technological or political events, may make it to half a century. Beyond that, little short of military force can keep them in place.
I love developing children as characters. Children rarely have important roles in literary fiction – they are usually defined as cute or precious, or they create a plot by being kidnapped or dying.
Rarely do celebrities and actors speak up for what they believe in.
When I’m working, I’m so narrowly focused on sound, language, rhythm, flow, that I rarely feel the emotion of the text. It’s only after – long after – I’ve finished a piece that I can experience in any way its emotional charge.
Success is rarely about having the best, the most, or the cheapest features in a product. Instead, it is almost always about knowing what matters to your sponsor in a client or partner account and delivering on that.
Rarely has a new player on the world stage captured so much attention so quickly – young and old, faithful and cynical – as has Pope Francis.
I have grown to appreciate the power of believing in myself and of always having faith in myself. I rarely look back; instead, I always look forward. There is so much of life that we miss when we wallow in regret.
I’ve rarely played glamorous roles. I don’t mind looking plain on camera.
Ah! yes, I know: those who see me rarely trust my word: I must look too intelligent to keep it.
Rarely was a distinction deserves as the Oscar for best supporting actor, who went to the late Heath Ledger. His ‘Joker’ is really incredible.
Very rarely do firearms restrictions affect criminals. They really only affect law-abiding citizens.
I don’t know much about politics, and I don’t want to know. That’s why I rarely involve myself in politics.
One of the things that people complain about is loneliness, disconnectedness. If you live in a society where your life is rarely threatened and most of your relationships are more on an economic exchange basis, then this could leave people feeling less connected.
To be honest, I used to hate shopping. I rarely left a store without crying, cursing my body, and swearing under my breath at the fashion industry.
My father had always called me Sam since the day I was born. He rarely ever called me Tiger. I would ask him, ‘Why don’t you ever call me Tiger?’ He says, ‘Well, you look more like a Sam.
I think a natural look is prettier. I rarely wear makeup, but we always wear sunscreen on our faces.
For someone who is rarely on time, my body clock always knows when it’s too early to go to bed and I just lie there in the dark like I’m hiding.
When we talk about good books, we often talk about good sentences, but what we rarely talk about is reader pleasure. Yet it is reader pleasure that is going to make a book break out into the kind of success that makes it into a household name.
I never played the right roles, or very rarely got the right roles offered, except on stage.
It is rarely that you see an American writer who is not hopelessly sane.
I don’t mind traveling that much when I can go somewhere and stay there for a while, but touring is different. You rarely see anything. You get there early in the morning and you’re resting all day, and you go in and do a sound check, and you do the show, and then bam you’re gone.
I love to run and I have some tips to keep it fresh and novel. I rarely use the same route twice. That keeps things new.
My father always has been attractive because of his energy, warmth, charm, and talent for finding some connection with people from all cultures and walks of life. He rarely observed social formalities and niceties – something he has passed on to his boys.
I never turn down requests for interviews. I’m just rarely asked.
Perfectionism rarely begets perfection, or satisfaction – only disappointment.
I rarely ever put my head above the rampart and see where this big lumbering behemoth called ‘global literature’ is going.
Rising anti-Semitism is rarely the lone or the last expression of intolerance in a society.
A man’s desire is for the woman, but the woman’s desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man.
The Environmental Protection Agency rarely follows up prosecuting coal companies and their fellow polluters, even when the evidence is clear-cut that they are dumping and poisoning entire towns near their projects, and the state regulators are even worse.
If I have on a bright red lip, you’ll rarely ever catch me with eyeshadow on. It’s one or the other for me – pick one feature for the day and really focus on that.
I am struck by how, walking down the street, I’m rarely made aware of my race, but that among journalists, race is absolutely massive.
For a long time, I couldn’t cry on stage. I cried very rarely as a child.
I rarely play a real person, because I don’t think I’m a good imitator.
It can be frustrating when you’re put in a category with others. Women do get lumped together in this reductive grouping, and you think, ‘Gosh, that rarely happens with the boys.’ I’m sure people don’t say to Eddie Redmayne, ‘How do you feel about Andrew Garfield?’
I’ve spent a lot of time in India. When I was a young cinematographer, I was completely enthralled by the color, the movement, the sounds. But photographically, it was very hard to capture it; photographs rarely did it justice.
Democracy is rarely easy, nor swift.
That existential crisis is something you rarely see portrayed by black characters; the idea that people think about their own existence and that they have hopes and dreams is taken away from people of color in their representation.
There is no such thing as a Mass Mind. The Mass Audience is made up of individuals, and good advertising is written always from one person to another. When it is aimed at millions it rarely moves anyone.
I guess art itself is insane. Its actual function is rarely clear, and yet people give their hearts and souls and lives to it, and have for all of history.
Money is rarely just money. Sometimes it stands in for love or self-esteem or freedom or a sense of control over your destiny (especially if you lacked these things in childhood).
Quite a lot of British women stop working when they have children, and that is rarely the case in Denmark. We have a very flat, structured way of approaching everything. Nobody’s the boss. In a sense, we’re all equal.
When judging a product, we rarely have exhaustive scientific data to go by. As a result, if we are to form a complete picture, we must fill in the blanks, just as we must in our visual perception.
I don’t wear perfume, and I rarely wear jewelry.
At Union Securities, I threw myself into my work with the discipline and commitment that I had always demonstrated in employment and only rarely displayed in school. Years later, I would come to appreciate, abstractly, the importance of productive activity to the mind and soul of both an individual and a nation.
I’ve never read a political poem that’s accomplished anything. Poetry makes things happen, but rarely what the poet wants.
I’m rarely optimistic.
As an author, it’s a strange process to watch your novel turned into a movie. It’s tremendously exciting but somewhat voyeuristic; after all, novelists are rarely involved in the process.
