I do represent a different aesthetic to drag, I have a different point of view with everything.
There’s nothing wrong with a male’s point of view, obviously, but it’s just a different way of telling a story.
From a technical point of view, there seemed to me to be absolutely no reason why – with the existing technology – we couldn’t do very high quality audio, because whereas the boom in digital graphics is ongoing, the boom in digital audio has already happened.
The thing I try to tell people who are just starting in the business is to listen to yourself, trust yourself, and be kind to yourself. And do the work to cultivate who you are and what your point of view is. Don’t try to be like anybody else. That’s what will make you an interesting artist.
I like to listen to other songs to get a different point of view and to learn.
In the first place, it must be remembered that our point of view in examining the construction of a play will not always coincide with that which we occupy in thinking of its whole dramatic effect.
You can go through life and actually speak your mind and do it in an articulate fashion and with a really intelligent point of view.
From my point of view what I have to do now is appreciate and enjoy what football gave me, but now do something else with the same energy and enthusiasm I gave to football without expecting the same results.
The thing that always interests me from a storytelling point of view is how that moment of trauma, whatever the trauma is, even divorce, your dog dies, whatever it is, the consequence, in terms of people’s emotional lives and the way it resonates behaviorally for a long time, is really the stuff that interests me.
Before stand-up, I’m not sure I even had a point of view.
I look for strong people. I don’t like people who’ll say yes to everything I might bring up. I want people who can argue and disagree and have a point of view that’s reflected in the magazine. My dad believed in the cult of personality. He brought great writers and columnists to ‘The Standard.’
There’s a difference between being a comic and a comedian. A comic is a guy who says funny things, and a comedian is a guy who says things funny, and he has a style and point of view that will last much longer.
Citizens and those elected to serve must also understand the point of view, the goals and the fears of those with whom we disagree.
There is no right to a job or a wage rate, but there is a right to move from one country to another in search of a better life. This is the point of view of Thomas Jefferson, John Locke and other great supporters of the natural rights tradition in America.
I think to many people the term ‘activist film’ implies a film with a single point of view – something designed to provoke outrage and urge action on a particular issue – sort of the film equivalent of a rally. ‘If a Tree Falls’ is not that kind of film.
Comedy is all about having a point of view, and it’s also about power.
The Southern whites are in many respects a great people. Looked at from a certain point of view, they are picturesque. If one will put oneself in a romantic frame of mind, one can admire their notions of chivalry and bravery and justice.
If your voices are not heard, you can be sure that many others will be – in particular those who are paid to present a point of view, and often do it most effectively.
Oh, it is quite possible that none of us in ‘Downton’ will ever again get the ratings this has had. But from a career point of view, it has opened so many doors.
I am highly variable in my devotion. From a doctrinal point of view or a dogmatic point of view or a strictly Catholic adherent point of view, I’m first to say that I talk a good game, but I don’t know how good I am about it in practice.
One of the problems with the Security Council is that there are vetoes, and they do not allow us to do what might be justified from the point of view of sanctions.
Even the most meticulous historians work subjectively. The historian’s point of view, his or her selection of subject and sources, the emphasis, the tone – all of these lead to subjective history, inevitably so. I do not say this as a criticism, merely as an observation.
When I was in college, I did sort of want to be a journalist. Being an actor, you kind of have the same interest. You go into a story, and you tell it from your point of view for people who aren’t there. That’s what an actor does with a character. But the real life is more more interesting.
There are more kids playing hockey, and the game has become more diverse from a cultural, ethnic and geographic point of view, but we still don’t have a lot of congressmen.
Much as I respect Russell Brand’s point of view, I’m in the opposite camp to him about voting. I think it’s enormously important to engage with the electoral process.
To me, point of view is everything.
For ninety per cent of those who view him from outside, the Christian God looks like a great landowner administering his estates, the world. Now this conventional picture, which is too well justified by appearances, corresponds in no way to the dogmatic basis or point of view of the Gospels.
The main focus for me is not trying to find duet partners. It’s about just making great songs. I want most of my album to be in my voice because it’s my point of view.
The writer needs to react to his or her own internal universe, to his or her own point of view. If he or she doesn’t have a personal point of view, it’s impossible to be a creator.
From a scientific point of view, it’s hard for me to understand why someone in the Texas Panhandle should not have access to the same research funds that someone in the Oklahoma Panhandle can have.
As an actor, you are always someone else’s tool. You can have a connection with them, and you can share their point of view, but ultimately, you are helping them reflect.
America’s got quite reasonable tax rates from an employee point of view.
From my point of view, we have the two communities: the tech community on one side and the rather social-scientific, philosophical community on the other side. We have, from my impression, a disconnect between the two sides.
I never seek controversy or foresee it for my pictures. I take a personal stand, and perhaps because my films are on contemporary subjects, people do not share my point of view.
Because we put ourselves in a movie or on TV, then it must mean we want to be completely open to the world. Sometimes, people will run up to you as if this is Disneyland and I’m a character. I understand their point of view, but it’s difficult to explain how terrified it makes me. I’m so nervous.
The only thing I knew about novels from a technical point of view was that they should have conflict.
My dream is not Hollywood, but to perform my act in English to 30 people in a Soho comedy club, to show New Yorkers what they look like from the French point of view.
StyleHaul will allow me more opportunities to express my point of view in the lifestyle and fashion space.
I think you always need to take new, big risks from a storytelling point of view.
From the point of view of many scientists, gods represent an explanation for the unknown. Scientists are focused on trying to understand the unknown, so there is a fundamental conflict. That said, some scientists find religion useful and perhaps even fulfilling.
I’m a pretty feminized geek, you know? I have that point of view, I grew up around a lot of girls, so I’m pretty sensitive to that. But I don’t dare say ‘I know how women think.’
When you really listen to another person from their point of view, and reflect back to them that understanding, it’s like giving them emotional oxygen.
I would say I have sort of a natural gift for character, and following one person’s point of view at a time, and dialogue, but I’m not naturally good at strong plot.
I think the reason these readers come back to me is because I represent their points of view. It may not be my point of view, but that’s OK. Everyone still deserves to have their say.
The one thing that I really love about ‘Smallville,’ people are excited, and they love the characters. I can see their point of view.
When you’re on a scale like we are in 170 countries and hundreds of thousands of people, you have a single point of view.
I felt my design point of view was more welcomed in New York, that I could show my collections in the way I wanted to show them.
If a work alienates a reader, should that be counted against it? I respect people that love ‘Ulysses,’ for example, but I’m on the other side of the argument. ‘Ulysses’ would be better if it seduced me. But I probably have the minority point of view.
Having companies like PotashCorp based in Saskatoon or Cameco based in Saskatoon that have worldwide presence but have the head office jobs, the head office managers and head office employees in your local economy are important from a job creation and wealth creation point of view.
I think, as an actor, I would find it a little run-of-the-mill doing procedurals where it’s the same sort of thing week in and week out. Your character doesn’t get to grow very much, which, purely from an actor’s point of view, you want to see an arc of your character.
The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves.
