I chose ‘The Voice’ because I knew they had a lot more respect for each artist, as opposed to the other shows. They don’t get it. I don’t think those shows ever got it. I was turned off by some of the other shows and how they did things.
When I got to ‘The Daily Show,’ they asked me to have a political opinion. It turned out that I had one, but I didn’t realize quite how liberal I was until I was asked to make passionate comedic choices as opposed to necessarily successful comedic choices.
I’ve always had a big voice, but I’m very aware of when you need to belt or go all out like that – when it’s necessary and plot driven – as opposed to just screaming to scream, which I hate.
I’m not questioning Dick Cheney’s motives. There’s a chance for a conflict of interest. At one point in time, he was opposed to going into Baghdad. Then he was out of office and involved in the defense industry, and then he became for going into Baghdad.
The reason I love Jesus because he’s a really good guy. He’s completely opposed to running around and judging people.

So give me a turbulent world as opposed to a quiet world and I’ll take the turbulent one.

A convention was drawn up on June 17, 1925, in which the principle of supervision, as opposed to that of simple propaganda, was recognized, thanks to the efforts of the labour members, of whom I was one.
In television writing, you want to hear what the characters say as opposed to giving them something to say. It’s the same with the cartoons.
Like Godfather, you look at a movie like that, or something that James Gray has directed, a film with minimal or pin lighting as opposed to everything being lit bright and flat, where everything is evident.
International peace and security depend on certain taboos that are easily recognized when they are broken. It can be more important for an intervention to take place because nuclear or chemical or biological weapons are used as opposed to just measuring how many people are killed.
We may have to force people to get together in terms of picking a particular type of technology and starting to build to that technology, as opposed to everybody exercising their right to buy their own system, you know, at will.
When I first ran for governor, the political class and party leaders opposed me with great vigor, and some even said if I won the primary they would never vote for me. But the voters had other ideas, and they are the only ones who count.

What we’ve demonstrated is there’s an immense appetite to travel more authentically and immerse yourself in culture… as opposed to having a commoditised experience.
I wasn’t really terribly familiar with the Beatles when I met George. They were just emerging. They certainly weren’t as big as they became later on. I just knew them as a pop group, and that’s all. I was keener on George as a man and a person, as opposed to someone in a band.
I hated ‘Avatar’ from the jump. And I like James Cameron. I’m not opposed to James Cameron.
It’s certainly strange to do sketch comedy with cue cards at midnight in a skyscraper as opposed to in a basement with your friends.
Instead of making people victims of people who are successful, we should be telling people, ‘Look, you are having a hard time, I feel bad for you. Let’s look at what you’re doing, let’s teach you how to succeed. Let’s give you the tools to succeed as opposed to turning everybody into victims.
I want everyone in the Republican party who opposed me to know this: you are welcome to join this people’s crusade. Come aboard. You are both welcome and needed. If we unite, we’ll win – and we’ll rebuild New York.
Odd Future’s like a network as opposed to like a rap group.
I’m confident in who I am. I’ve come to a place in my life where I’ve accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That’s just the way I’ve always tried to be. It didn’t change when I became a star.
I tend to write short, brief snippets – I lean toward the chamber music end as opposed to the symphony end of things.
No one who is in this world will deny that evils exist. What, then, do we say? That evil is not a living and animated substance, but a condition of the soul which is opposed to virtue and which springs up In the slothful because of their falling away from good.
As an artist you have the luxury of maybe presenting an issue in a certain way, as opposed to actually solving it.
Science, as opposed to technology, does violence to common sense.
I am opposed to the idea of dubbing films into Kannada.
I really don’t think there’s a lack of good will between members of the parties. I go back a long way with a lot of Republicans, so I don’t think it’s personal. But there does seem to be a much greater gap in both the philosophy and emphasis on partisan victories as opposed to policy development.
I don’t know if it’s unique to women or not, but I do know that women think that they join a company, and the company will take care of them, as opposed to taking charge.
Power is the chance to impose your will within a social context, even when opposed and regardless of the integrity of that chance.
If I don’t need the money, I don’t work. I’m going to spend time with my family and friends, and I’m going to travel and read and listen to music and try to learn a little bit more about how to be a human being, as opposed to learning how to be somebody else.
I liked that music was a window into a world with a lot of unpredictability and chaos; it was almost diametrically opposed to my very regimented day-to-day living.
Democrats in Louisville were led by Courier-Journal editor Henry Watterson and were implacably opposed to blacks voting.
The First Amendment allows Nazis and white extremists to do what they are going to do, and it allows for black extremists and all other types of extremists to do what they are going to do. I understand that, and I’m not opposed to that.
Much of what I do in my job is think about whether relationships we see in data are causal, as opposed to just reflecting correlations. It’s exactly these issues which come up in evaluating studies in public health.
I would be opposed to any kind of totalitarian control.
I think rap in general allows you to be more lyrically expressive. It’s a lot easier to state your identity, as opposed to with a guitar making all these weird metaphors.
Well, the economic recovery was successful even though the Democrats opposed the reforms every step of the way. And it is clear the Democrats have no clear plan to strengthen our economy, as Republicans do.
What I’ve always said is that I’m opposed to institutional racism, and I would’ve, had I’ve been alive at the time, I think, had the courage to march with Martin Luther King to overturn institutional racism, and I see no place in our society for institutional racism.
I never cooked before I became vegan. Preparing a meal as opposed to ordering in all the time, you start thinking about where your food comes from and how it gets to your table. You notice that chain.
A lot of my favourite songs have Eno involved, but I love the work he does on the first two Roxy Music albums. He’s creating atmospheres as opposed to composition, and it’s a beautiful mixture with everything else in that band.
How are we doing in the electronics field as opposed to, you know, we hear how advanced the Japanese are? Do you think we’re still pretty competitive? Oh, yes.

My wife and I make the bed every morning, but it’s a queen size bed today, as opposed to a rack, you know, a small single bed, which I had in basic SEAL training.
I’m going to look forward to the future as opposed to looking back at the past.
You see, the interesting thing about books, as opposed, say, to films, is that it’s always just one person encountering the book, it’s not an audience, it’s one to one.

I am passionately opposed to capital punishment, and I have been all my life.
Mr. Speaker, in the years since we enacted our attack against Iraq, the threat from Iran has only grown more difficult, and our capacity to meet that threat actually has diminished. It is one of the reasons many of us opposed that action against Iraq.
I think there’s a moral imperative when you’re writing fictional heroes to give characters who somehow give us something to aspire to as opposed to dragging them down to our level.
I have a good family. I have good friends. I have people that actually care about my wellbeing as opposed to just work and just need me for work or whatever. Like, people that genuinely look out for me and my health, knowing how much work I put in.
