Farce is tragedy played at a thousand revolutions per minute.
Nationally, overwhelmingly non-white schools receive $1,000 less per pupil than overwhelmingly white schools.
I don’t have any special approach for playing dark characters. That’s because I never looked at them as dark characters per se. For me, they were real people.
I don’t let even a day go by wherein I don’t give at 100 per cent.
When working with an orchestra, you never spend more than 20 minutes per recording session.
This is the honest truth: I could absolutely care less on yards per game. I think that’s a totally overblown stat.
When I represent Team GB, I never give less than 100 per cent. It is an absolute honour.
I am 100 per cent Virgo, stubborn, over-organised, slightly abstracted from the rest of the world.
Compared to the United States and certainly a lot of other countries around the world… per year, Australians do see more films.
People often forget this – a vinyl album could only contain a maximum of 20 minutes per side!
The U.S. has the most dysfunctional healthcare system in the industrial world, has about twice the per capita costs, and some of the worst outcomes. It’s also the only privatized system.
I’d propose that each central-city child should have an entitlement from the state to attend any school in the metropolitan area outside his own district – with per pupil funds going with him.
I have no qualms about saying I am more confident in the medical treatment in America. The breast cancer survival rate is 20 per cent higher than in the UK.
When I recorded ‘Sun,’ I wanted to do something with more of a modern sound. I’ve never done anything like it, and it was fun for me to sing, but I’m not really a dance person per se. However, I would love to hear that song in the club. I think it’s a really good dance song.
You just want something else that someone else has, but that doesn’t mean what you have isn’t beautiful, because people always want what you have, and you always want what they have – no one is ever 100 per cent like, ‘Yes, I’m the bomb dot com – from head to toe!’
Income splitting benefits only fifteen per cent, mostly the wealthiest Canadians, but it’s paid for by everyone.
You have to be completely there in every game, and as soon as you drop your level even one per cent, you concede goals.
I think more with my head – things are 90 per cent in your head, and everything else comes after that.
I never wanted to be a scientist per se. I wanted to be a naturalist.
Ninety per cent of the world’s woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties, and even their real virtues. Most of us go almost all the way through life as complete strangers to ourselves – so how can we know anyone else?
In 2007, a very inspired New York University Ph.D. student counted all the models on the runway, every single one that was hired, and of the 677 models that were hired, only 27, or less than four per cent, were non-white.
Me, it was always about being able to bounce around to where I wanna be. Like, with ‘Arular,’ people always say it’s so political, but I think 50 per cent of the album is not very political at all. It’s just really a shouty, shouty girl thing.
On ‘Whose Line,’ we had six, seven, eight scenes per show, so everything was pretty quick. And there’s a lot of games that we just got tired of, like ‘Hats’ and ‘World’s Worst’ and ‘Hoedown’ and stuff.
I was never really a virtuoso guitar player per se.
Even if you sell the same number of plasma televisions – if you are selling them for 20 or 30 or 40 per cent of the original price, your revenue goes down, and the profit goes with it.
Quality napkins are made in villages at a cost of just Rs 2 per piece with my simple and cost-effective machines.
I’m actually a very quiet person off the golf course. I talk 150 miles per hour when I’m at the course, but when in private I very seldom ever open my mouth.
I need a stimulating environment to write because my books are driven at 100 miles per hour at a time.
It would astonish if not amuse the older citizens to learn that I (a strange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working at ten dollars per month) have been put down as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.
In the early stages of negotiation software, on your smartphone, there may be programs that listen to the pitch of a voice, or that test for stress. You’ll just ask the program, ‘Was he lying? Was he eager to do business with me?’ Maybe the computer will be right sixty per cent of the time.
I mark a script like an exam, and I try not to do anything under 50 per cent. Similarly with the part. And also film is a peculiar thing, parts don’t necessarily read in script form anything like as well as they can do when it comes to materialising.
The only way to learn writing is by writing. Talent, as charming as it sounds, amounts to no more than 12 per cent of the process. Work is 80 per cent. The remaining 8 per cent is ‘luck’ or ‘zeitgeist’ – in short, things that are not in our hands.
If you look at football over the last 50 years there has been a gradual decrease in goals, you don’t see too many 10-nils these days, but two, three or four goals per game is a good spectacle.
I remember doing one of those computer careers tests. It told me I’d make an ideal HGV lorry driver because I’ve got 100 per cent spatial awareness. I’d be able to back them into tight parking spots.
Frankly, I find it very odd that, in a population that’s more than 50 per cent of women, that Hollywood isn’t producing more movies to cater to that audience. The demographic is being grossly underserved, in my opinion.
As we move towards 8 or 10 billion people on the planet, there’s a little less gold per capita. Each one of us will continue to be fighting over an ever smaller percentage of total resources. This is not a happy thought.
We can produce more per acre on a fifth of the fuel as the industrial food system.
As long as you are putting 100 per cent in week in, week out, no one can say anything.
I passed the 11-plus and went up to the senior school, where my two older sisters had already gone. I was in the ‘A’ stream, but in the third year, they asked me to give up Latin; no one had ever got 7 per cent before.
When I was in New York, a lot of my friends were studying filmmaking and would bring their scripts to me, as I was a good script doctor. I would read their scripts and make corrections to them for $20 per script and was fascinated by films.
When I first joined Manchester City, I was not 100 per cent fit.
I prefer 100 per cent cotton Ts. They are kinder to lumps and bumps than figure-hugging stretchy Lycra ones and feel nicer against the skin. Extra-long-sleeved T-shirts are a lifesaver for me. I wear them either underneath a shirt with the sleeve pulled out of the cuff, or underneath gypsy tops, tunic tops and waistcoats.
Even now with the operation, with the damage done, my ankle probably is never going to be back to 100 per cent.
Pleasure becomes a value, a teleological end in itself. It’s probably more Western than U.S. per se.
Raw leafy greens contain only about 100 calories per pound and are packed with nutrients.
Terrorist bombings, like rampage shootings, are events that maximize the amount of publicity per amount of damage. That’s why people do them, because they know they will set off a media frenzy.
Now I’m having to live with sales of around 50,000 per album – but I’m pretty content with my place in the general scheme of things, even if it’s meant I don’t drive a fancy car and can’t afford grand vacations.
The upward revision of import duty, from 1 per cent to over 4 per cent on steam coal imports, will adversely impact the industry, as it will lead to increase in cost of power generation.
I don’t think I see the world in terms of stupid or clever, but in terms of being able to get irony. There’s some awful statistic about only 20 per cent of Americans being able to understand irony.
Let’s not kid ourselves about just how cheap offshore labor really is. We not only pay substantially less per hour: we also avoid the costs we would incur if these workers immigrated here. We don’t pay for their medical expenses when they show up in the emergency room without insurance.
It’s true that, in Iran, women have half of the rights men do. And yet 66 per cent of students are women.
Now, in New Jersey, we have more government workers per square mile than any state in America. But since I’ve been governor we now have fewer people on the state payroll at any time since Christie Whitman left office in January 2001. That’s the right direction, Mr. President, not the wrong direction.
London is a wonderful city, but I am here for Chelsea. It’s 100 per cent hard work, 90 per cent fun.
Per capita, I would say that Australia has more biomimetic projects going than many other countries I’ve been to.
If you think about it, for any kind of content on the web, the natural price per unit of these things should be under a dollar.
Only three per cent of people are born with a disability; the rest acquire it through accident or illness, but people come out of it. Thanks to medical advances, bodies heal.
You tell people that all the time, ‘Jail’s the worst place ever and you don’t want to go there,’ which is true but at the same time you see it’s filled with a bunch of people like guy is drinking on a porch somewhere and he gets arrested for public intoxication. He’s going to miss work. He’s not a bad guy per se.
