I’ve never had to explain ‘Prometheus’ to people, ever. Most people get it.
I can’t explain why one wants to pass a particular sort of pain onto other people, but you do.
I always explain through images and characters what fashion means, and describing scent is almost the same. It can be very powerful. It can really change the perspective a person has of you.
Never say no when a client asks for something, even if it is the moon. You can always try, and anyhow there is plenty of time afterwards to explain that it was not possible.
My son Darrel could recite ‘Straight Outta Compton’ at two years old. He loved it! You can expose your kids to anything as long as you sit there and explain it to them.
We really wanted to circumvent that online learning curve, where it’s virtually impossible to use words to explain music.
Because TV is mostly close up, it has to be fast. And because it has to be fast, you don’t have time to explain completely, by a sequence shot, what’s happening between people. So instead of experiencing what’s happening, say, when a couple is dancing, dialogue is used to explain.
Journalists always explain that people are mad at them because they tell the truth, which is often unpleasant or uncomfortable to hear. However, they fail in situations where there is more than one truth.
Let’s make Donald Trump explain his hair.
Here is my theory on this one. If you write things down, if there is a mystery and you try and explain it, once you’ve written it down for permanent, in due time, it’ll be proven stupid.
I’m sure most parents read to their children to explain what certain things mean. So books are a good way to convey a message to anybody. Everybody reads.

I don’t know how to explain it, but ever since I was a little girl, I knew that I wanted to perform.
I’m the ‘Dear Abby’ of math problems. But if you understand something, shouldn’t you be able to explain it? Isn’t that the whole point?

It’s fun to meet people from throughout the world who you don’t have to explain yourself to.
Science may eventually explain the world of How. The ultimate world of Why may remain for contemplation, philosophy, religion.
I would say I was still a Marxist – which is not to be confused with being a Communist. Despite its flaws, Marxism still seems to explain the material world better than anything else.
Comics have years to explain this stuff, and in a movie, you have to focus on one thing. So it’s about kind of streamlining, I think. Some of the most successful origin films actually have a narrower focus.
You don’t implement change easily in Japan unless you explain very clearly why you need to do this change, how you’re going to do this change and what’s going to be the outcome of this change. If you offset or you forget to explain one of these three steps you’re not going to do it.
I’m often asked how I portray the roles I play so convincingly and express so much through my eyes. Quite frankly, I don’t know how to explain that. I guess it’s about who I’m as a person; I radiate it through my eyes.
You know how much I am inclined to explain all disputes among philosophical schools as merely verbal disputes or at least to derive them originally from verbal disputes.
Often as a child you see someone with a learning disability or Down’s Syndrome and my mum and dad were always very quick to explain exactly what was going on and to be in their own way inclusive and welcoming.
It took me a few years to explain to my colleagues and my mentors and the people that I looked up to and I wrestled that I’m not in wrestling anymore. I’m in sports entertainment. Pro’ wrestling doesn’t mean that we’re saying we’re a step up above amateur wrestling, because there’s nothing above Olympic wrestling.
Never complain. Never explain.
I’ve got German, Cornish and Scottish ancestry. It might help explain my affinity for forests, the sea, and fatty foods.
I am decidedly of the opinion that in very many instances we can trace such a necessary connexion, especially among birds, and often with more complete success than in the case which I have here attempted to explain.
If you look at Kirsten Dunst’s performance in ‘Melancholia,’ which I think is absolutely wonderful – it’s not even in the text, because she doesn’t say much; it’s all in her eyes. She doesn’t have to explain what she’s feeling. You just feel it.
It’s hard to explain your emotions when you see a work of art.
Many of the architects of the Vietnam War became near pariahs as they spent the remainder of their lives in the futile quest to explain away their decisions at the time.
It is foolish for Republicans to continue opening the door to job-killing tax hikes while Democrats refuse to explain how they propose to reform mandatory spending – mostly entitlements – that makes up almost two-thirds of the federal budget.
I believe the structure of ‘House of Leaves’ is far more difficult to explain than it is to read. And while I’d like to lay claim to some extraordinary act of originality, truth is I’m only taking advantage of capabilities inherent in everyone.
There’s nothing that can help you understand your beliefs more than trying to explain them to an inquisitive child.
There was no way that I could explain to dogs, friends, or parents my compelling need to return to Africa to launch a long-term study of the gorillas.
I don’t know how to explain it. A lot of Christians actually like other Christians in Houston. A lot of Christians even like non-Christians in Houston. And, on frequent occasions, a fair amount of non-Christians like us.
The lovely thing about being an actor is being anonymous, it’s never having to explain yourself. And that’s what I find interesting about actors or painters I admire. I don’t want to know about their lives.
There was an email forwarded to me from a first-grade teacher, and she said she was teaching them civil rights for MLK weekend, and a little first-grader stood up, and he said, ‘I can explain segregation,’ and proceeded to explain all the scenes from ‘Hidden Figures.’ And I died because that’s everything.
For more than 200 years, materialists have promised that science will eventually explain everything in terms of physics and chemistry. Believers are sustained by the faith that scientific discoveries will justify their beliefs.
As a man who tried to explain in his own way that people have to learn to get along with each other. I did it with comedy because that’s what I’m familiar with, and I think it’s more acceptable to tell it in comedy form. But that’s how I’d like to be remembered.
I’m always telling my students that if they can’t explain what they are doing, to their grandmothers, then they probably don’t understand it themselves.
Clearly, unless the Lord chooses to explain Himself to us, which often He does not, His motivation and purposes are beyond the reach of mortal man. What this means in practical terms is that many of our questions – especially those that begin with the word ‘why’ – will have to remain unanswered for the time being.
A good theoretical account must explain all of the evidence that we see. If it doesn’t work everywhere, we have no idea what we are talking about, and all is chaos.
I do read some of the scripts from America and, even though the themes or subject of the film is very interesting, and some of the scenes are very interesting, there is a tendency that they have to explain everything. There will be no dilemma.

I can analyze how I do things, but the actual doing it – when the synapses just start firing – I can’t explain.

I think in some ways, it can do a listener a disservice to explain a song. I think I’d rather leave a little room for people to put themselves in it.
My father, Abe, was a small businessman. For 32 years, he ran an exterminating company. That may explain why our family always associated the smell of roach spray with love.
If you tell God no because He won’t explain the reason He wants you to do something, you are actually hindering His blessing. But when you say yes to Him, all of heaven opens to pour out His goodness and reward your obedience. What matters more than material blessings are the things He is teaching us in our spirit.
