I think so. I can’t think of anything that requires more finesse than comedy, both from a verbal and visual point of view.
From the age of five, I was organizing everybody’s everything. If I didn’t like the way it looked, I’d rearrange it. From a very early age, I saw life from my point of view.
I understood Stephen’s point of view because if you had been given a death sentence at the age of 21, would you find it easy to believe in a loving God? Also, Stephen’s work was taking him into the depths of the universe, and it was, I thought, fairly understandable that there wasn’t much room for God in his equations.
If you are a girl dressing up in the morning thinking about the whole world having a point of view on what you are wearing, it takes the pleasure out of getting dressed.
Technologists come at a problem from the point of view that the system is working a certain way, and if I engage in that system and actually change the rules of the system, I can make it work a different way.
I would say, from an all-around point of view, Bruce Springsteen is one of the two great poet lords of America, Bob Dylan, coming out of the music world, the two of them.
The first show I worked on was ‘In Living Color.’ I think ‘The Daily Show’ was the culmination of having that point of view – being able to look at this third rail in our society.
I want the camerawork to fit the narrative and tell the story from the point of view of the character, but sometimes, to be interacting with the sensations of the story, you almost become like a ghost, you know? Like, someone that is floating, observing, not really judging what’s going on.
I honestly feel that if there is an important point of view, any member of the Congress party, any member of my Cabinet is free to raise issues and require reconsideration of issues. I think that’s what a democracy is about.
I’m a very girlie girl, but I often find the heroes of my books trying to take over the story. In truth, I enjoy writing the male point of view more than any other.
From our point of view, the most exciting thing would be if we discovered something really fundamental in our understanding was just off a bit – and that now we have a chance to revisit it.
For me, the music is always speaking from the point of view of the characters. Rarely do you score an event.
I think that’s part of the fun for us: we love looking at movies through the filter of a specific character – characters who aren’t the lead – and figuring out the film from their point of view.
At different times in my life I met God from a different point of view.
Perhaps I’m temperamentally driven to see things from the point of view of the attacked rather than the attacker.
From the long range point of view, I do not know of anything we can do more important than to make some contribution to the preservation of religion as a vital force in America.
Too often a story is examined through biased eyes, without a sensitivity for everyone who forged it. It’s seen from the point of view of the great white savior, and rarely is the perspective of the slave a part.
Writing for late night is really good for learning how to write when you don’t want to write. You have to produce every day. It’s also very good for refining the difference between your point of view and the host’s.
‘Vicky Donor’ is now seen as a case study and the intelligentsias are looking at it from a strong academic point of view. I keep getting calls from medical practitioners who constantly thank me for making this film.
I would say that all traditional philosophies up to and including Marxism have tried to derive the ‘ought’ from the ‘is.’ My point of view is that this is impossible; this is a farce.
When I listen to Amy Winehouse, I believe that her heart and soul is in the music, or if I listen to other British artists like Duffy or Estelle. The aesthetic of it is different, and it’s my point of view. It’s not anything formulaic.
Every film is a puzzle really, from an editorial point of view.
The reporter claimed he was going to write the article from my point of view. Instead, he made me sound like a little idiot. It made me never want to do another interview again.
All writers, in all viewpoints, must choose which information and scenes will be presented, and in which order. In that sense, the author is always represented as a point of view in a work of fiction. His hand can always be detected by the discerning.
I think the most important thing I do as head writer of ‘Kenan & Kel’ and ‘All That’ is make sure any jokes we do, any situations we approach are from a kid’s point of view.
That’s what happens in three-dimensional animation, you tell the computer what the subject is like and the computer can figure what it would look like from any camera’s point of view.
From our point of view having American, Canadian or British troops on a rotating basis in Poland and in the Baltics would be an enormous boon to our defence capabilities.
The truth is that I have never created a president to push a political point of view. I am often looking to create aspirational characters; that’s true. But, you know, in the end, it is really up to the actor in front of the presidential seal to decide exactly what kind of president you’re going to get.
I feel like I’ve been observed as an individual more than a gay person, or as a filmmaker with a certain point of view rather than a lesbian filmmaker with a gay point of view.
In my experience, yelling at people that they are wrong and disgusting rarely wins the argument, nor changes point of view.
From the point of view of the people who are using the platform, one of the most valuable things about Java is the consistency, the interoperability.
When you talk to family and friends, they can’t tell you anything from an impartial point of view because they have a vested interest in you.
You have to be responsible to yourself… but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a point of view about something.
From jazz, the blues, country and rock to Hollywood movies, culture has in many ways been our greatest export (or our most obnoxious one, depending on your point of view).
There is this idea that it’s very different from the French point of view to work in America blah, blah, blah. But I think it’s different from one person to the other, not from one country to the other.
I make it a habit of never trying to judge what an audience might think, only because all points of view are too close, because we’re doing it every day, I think that the actor’s point of view is sometimes too close to what the material actually is.
The clear problem of the outlawing of insult is that too many things can be interpreted as such. Criticism, ridicule, sarcasm, merely stating an alternative point of view to the orthodoxy, can be interpreted as insult.
From the physical point of view, a man is nothing more than a system of cells, or from the mental point of view, than a system of representations; in either case, he differs only in degree from animals.
I always knew that content was the best way to sell things, but my thing was, why sell other people’s stuff if I have a point of view?
I’m dying to do a masala Bollywood film with typical song and dance. But having said that, my character in the film should have her own point of view. I won’t play a role who has no brains.
When you read about the real history of where feminism comes from, it came from a very political point of view. I don’t believe in bringing any politics to an idea like feminism. I love the idea that women should be celebrated, but I also believe men should be, too. We need both – yin and yang.
I have a bias, and I don’t deny that. But it’s not so much an emotional attachment with objects that we study: it’s a point of view based on the evidence. We simply know more about Enceladus.
When radium was discovered, no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it.
I think, in any debate, you have to respect the other person’s point of view, if you agree or disagree.
Nothing’s beautiful from every point of view.
From my personal point of view, the Animals are dead. They killed themselves.
African-Americans have been brainwashed into not being open-minded, not even considering a conservative point of view. I have received some of that same vitriol simply because I am running for the Republican nomination as a conservative. So it’s just brainwashing and people not being open-minded, pure and simple.
It’s interesting – a lot of what you accomplish in your lifetime either as an individual or as a company is determined by other people. I mean, you can do interview after interview and defend a point of view, but more often than not, the collective kind of opinion will be the one viewed historically and taken as gospel.
I’ll say this: I think from a directing standpoint, ‘Loving’ is my most accomplished film. Strictly from a technical, directing point of view.
I think that writers are best served by sticking to their writing. Not having loads of theories about the best way to position the writing. I think that if the writing is good and the point of view is strong, the writing is going to take care of itself.
You could say that Iron Man was a second-tier character, and it turned out very successfully. I simply think it’s down to the movie itself, and whether people enjoy the movie, are involved in the movie, and that it entertains them. From that point of view, the movie has to stand alone.
