Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for everything, but I don’t wanna make it seem like I wouldn’t be able to survive without fame. ‘Cause I did it for 13 years.
In college, my wife did a study abroad in Nairobi, and I did the exact same program in Cape Town. For me, the experience of being in that other culture really set up a longing. When I’m traveling, things seem really sharp. You learn things ten times faster.
This seems to be the law of progress in everything we do; it moves along a spiral rather than a perpendicular; we seem to be actually going out of the way, and yet it turns out that we were really moving upward all the time.
Maybe the biggest thing that I’ve learned musically is that anything is possible. Things can work when maybe they don’t seem like they can.
Even these stars, which seem so numerous, are as sand, as dust – or less than dust – in the enormity of the space in which there is nothing.
I like to wear things that are daring but also not seem too avant-garde.
I think I’m not always what I seem. Most people, when they get to know me, say, ‘You know, when I first met you…’ People initially think I’m a snob because I’m intensely private.
I have arm-wrestled here and there… guys seem to want to test my strength.
Kids now, they’re not willing to pay for music and movies. The only thing they seem to be willing to pay for is concert tickets.
Both Othello and Iago seem a bit cracked. If you spend 15 years being responsible for death and destruction, that sense of suppressed horror is strong.
There is a serious defect in the thinking of someone who wants – more than anything else – to become rich. As long as they don’t have the money, it’ll seem like a worthwhile goal. Once they do, they’ll understand how important other things are – and have always been.
Gas prices and train fares seem to be the two commodities for modern British life that base their prices on a whim, or numbers plucked out of thin air, without a thought to the real cost to those for whom those price hikes mean unimaginable sacrifices in their day to day lives.
Oh, Spring! I want to go out and feel you and get inspiration. My old things seem dead. I want fresh contacts, more vital searching.
I seem to smell the stench of appeasement in the air.
When I think about atheist friends, including my father, they seem to me like people who have no ear for music, or who have never been in love.
However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
When I make eye contact with our fans while playing a gig, I seem to have the most energy.
Every word or concept, clear as it may seem to be, has only a limited range of applicability.
We spend millions on fitness each year, yet we seem to get fatter.
Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty.
‘Penthouse’ didn’t seem to concentrate as much on the girls’ faces, and I really wanted to see the girls’ faces. It seems like through the 1980’s, they almost went out of their way to obscure the girls’ faces.
Somehow liberals have been unable to acquire from life what conservatives seem to be endowed with at birth: namely, a healthy skepticism of the powers of government agencies to do good.
In most of our dreams, our inner eye of reflection is shut and we sleep within our sleep. The exception takes place when we seem to awake within our dreams, without disturbing or ending the dream state, and learn to recognize that we are dreaming while the dream is still happening.
Do not measure your loss by itself; if you do, it will seem intolerable; but if you will take all human affairs into account you will find that some comfort is to be derived from them.
People who work in specialized fields seem to have their own language. Practitioners develop a shorthand to communicate among themselves. The jargon can almost sound like a foreign language.
Always think twice before you decide to do anything for a film. It may seem like a career-changing idea, but think of your family and your future before doing anything risky. Train properly, because looking strong and being strong are two different things.
Lifting the veil of secrecy that shrouds police misconduct allegations would seem like an obvious democratic value. After all, if police work for the people, should they not be answerable to the people, as well? This is a basic tenet of good government.
Google is working on self-driving cars, and they seem to work. People are so bad at driving cars that computers don’t have to be that good to be much better.
My wife and children seem to like me quite a bit, and as long as that is true, I’m really OK.
Parisian women have an inner elegance that’s envied the world over. They are so relaxed about ageing and seem to acquire more charisma and beauty with time. Who wouldn’t want to be like them? That’s the trick – to embrace the natural progression of life and to be confident.
The U.S. has some of the most significant income inequality in the developed world, yet people seem routinely to underestimate that fact.
However, all gifts seem now to be absorbed in one and a man must be either a Preacher or nothing.
I like the word ‘indolence’. It makes my laziness seem classy.
The things I talk about and explain couldn’t happen – yet, they don’t seem impossible – you could say I talk about the world in an abstract perspective. But then, the world is basically insane – and it’s trying to pass itself off as being a sane place. I show it for what it is.
It’s easy for guys to listen to another guy for support, but if it’s a female, they seem to shy away from it, like they don’t want to be a sucker, you know what I’m saying? So we kind of got to go harder.
Intellectual comradeship requires that you think your thoughts through to the place where you can make the complex seem simple, the obscure quite clear.
What the New Yorker calls home would seem like a couple of closets to most Americans, yet he manages not only to live there but also to grow trees and cockroaches right on the premises.
A man’s home may seem to be his castle on the outside; inside is more often his nursery.
Discomfort levels in our societies are rising, or so it would seem. In theory, we invoke diversity and tolerance. But in real life, we raise our hackles and withdraw into ourselves.
I’m an artist and an engineer, which is, increasingly, a more common kind of hybrid. But I still fall into this weird crack where people don’t seem to understand me.
If you’re on the top for 10 years it’s going to seem like you have more crashes that someone on the top for three years. If you don’t win as much in your ninth or 10th year it’s going seem like you are on your way out.
I always go with the story and character and if those are good and if the setting is something that’s scary (horror films seem to always take place at night and the weather’s always bad) then I might be interested.
It always baffles me how people can lift you up so high and make it seem like they love you then you do one thing wrong and it’s all of a sudden you the devil and you evil and everything you do from then on isn’t right.
I’m sure that was the right step, even though, formally speaking, it may seem disadvantageous for a president to resign. But, looking into what is happening today and what is going to happen in the future, I think history will show I made the right decision.
I don’t especially like to travel, not the way many people do. I know many people that love to go to far-off and different places, and I’ve never been like that. I seem to get homesick as quickly as a child.
Jesus and Lincoln, Moses and Jefferson can seem so long gone, so unbelievable, so dead.
Every nation necessarily inhabits a morally compromised space. All too often our ideals seem to be held to ransom by what we believe, rightly or wrongly, to be objective reality.
Too often, animal-rights supporters seem to care about animals to the exclusion of people.
How far away the stars seem, and how far is our first kiss, and ah, how old my heart.
Football and chess can seem like sporting polar opposites, but there are so many similarities with the modern game.
Most men seem to live according to sense rather than reason.
Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want.
Why do I do this every Sunday? Even the book reviews seem to be the same as last week’s. Different books same reviews.
I’m a singer and as long as I can sing – which, thank God, is something that I still seem to be able to do – I’d like to carry on making records.
There seem to me to be very few facts, at least ascertainable facts, in politics.
Crushes start out as that teenage phenomenon, life-affirming and cute, but as you wander into adulthood, they seem to end up more painful, harrowing, and uncertain, especially if you have just come out of the relationship you thought would finally, maybe, maybe be the one that stuck.
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
I seem to be quite drawn to the medieval, magical fantasies, as it were.
We also provide a lot of services with our consulting group that allow people to take maximum advantage of the Net economy. Those all seem to resonate with customers and are providing a good strong base going forward.
