The domestic lives we live – which may be accidental, or not entirely of our making – help to make possible our writing lives; our imaginations are freed, or stimulated, by the very prospect of companionship, quiet, a predictable and consoling routine.
If the first year of the Trump administration has made anything clear, it’s that experience, knowledge, education and political wisdom matter tremendously. Governing is something else entirely from campaigning. And perhaps, most important, celebrities do not make excellent heads of state.
Although I was entirely relaxed on camera, if I had to stand up and say something to an assembled group of people, I was rendered all but inarticulate.
The individual must not be allowed to be overly free, but the country must be entirely free. When the country can exercise freedom, China will have become a mighty and prosperous nation.
Where nationally televised news had been a once-nightly ritual, it has since grown into a 24-hour-a-day habit, available on channels devoted entirely and ceaselessly to its dissemination.
Determine to do some thinking for yourself. Don’t live entirely upon the thoughts of others. Don’t be an automaton.
Income inequality is one thing, but a permanent division into the haves and have-nots is an entirely different thing – and much less acceptable.
And it is no less true, that personal security and private property rest entirely upon the wisdom, the stability, and the integrity of the courts of justice.
I’m entirely uneducated. I went to public school – public in the American sense – a blue-collar, working-class school. I never got a scholarship, I left when I was 15, never did any exams.
You’re not gonna write a hundred songs and have a hundred entirely different ideas. It’s a matter of finding the ones that are the freshest and most unique.
The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower.
Plays are definitely the most difficult of them all. They are entirely a different category altogether. I don’t have the courage to try out plays.
Audiences respond in entirely different ways. One thing is unanimous – music binds us altogether.
If I can make one generalised statement, and generalised statements are never entirely true, nobody wants to be talked down to, kids included.
You have every right to set yourselves targets and whether you achieve it or not is entirely a different matter but at least you have to be ambitious and set yourself challenging goals.
When the dollar was separated entirely from gold in 1971, it ceased being the official IMF world currency and finally had to compete with other currencies… From that point forward, its value increasingly became discounted.
I once read that I had six kids and was a pig farmer. That’s not entirely accurate.
I really enjoy singing, it’s entirely different to acting because I’m just being myself.
Pretty much every night of their lives, my 8-year-old sons have absorbed themselves entirely in books. As toddlers, they pointed out pictures, made conjectures; lately, we find them in their bunk beds embarked upon two-hour comic-reading benders.
‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ – I’d watched and hated it seven times before it provided the first ‘religious experience’ I’d ever had watching a film. Finally, I was able to pick up on what the film was transmitting almost entirely through dialogue.
If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, my patients will not even be postponed. Another surgeon would step in and take over. The reason to do research and writing is that it at least makes me feel not entirely replaceable. If I didn’t write, I don’t know if I would do surgery.
I feel like I’m on crutches when I have to go by the dialogue sheet. I want the artiste’s natural, spontaneous reaction and vocabulary so that it adds a genuine flavor to the scene without which the sequence becomes entirely cinematic.
I alienated myself from the academic world almost entirely because it’s a left-wing world.
I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.
I love… What’s gratifying to me is when you make/create a character and a human being, a person who lives entirely and who has their own existence, just merely from the words on a page.
The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
Sometimes I try to concentrate on the story I would like to write, and I realize that what interests me is something else entirely, or, rather, not anything precise but everything that does not fit in what I ought to write.
But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven’t exactly been non-aggressive – including me.
I entirely concur in the propriety of resorting to the sense in which the Constitution was accepted and ratified by the nation. In that sense alone it is the legitimate Constitution.
It is pure illusion to think that an opinion that passes down from century to century, from generation to generation, may not be entirely false.
My SAG card, the first TV job that I ever had was ‘Pan Am’ as a reporter. But that may not be entirely true. I did some motion capture work, doing reshoots on a video game.
Novels usually evolve out of ‘character.’ Characters generate stories, and the shape of a novel is entirely imagined but should have an aesthetic coherence.
I’m not saying a housewife is in any way inferior to a workingwoman. No, she isn’t. But as an activist, as a woman, I would say the choice of being a housewife or pursuing a career should be left entirely to the woman and that choice should be respected.
I’d like do a film which I can carry entirely on my own.
I mean in the community that I grew up in, you know, a very, you know, mixed, almost entirely African Diaspora community, one of the things that we were not ever supposed to say was how much self-hatred and colorism determined and guided what we would call our desire. In other words, what we would consider beautiful.
Years ago, there was one Asian person in a soap and the entire Asian acting community was going for that role. Now, you can find a few different Asian people, and their character isn’t entirely based on their religion or culture: they just happen to be in a soap.
What makes a classic is difficult to define. It’s entirely subjective, of course. And the term is employed far too promiscuously.
Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness.
I think church and state should remain entirely separate at all costs, and that the decision of religious marriage should be of each faith to debate and decide free of political influence.
‘Frances Ha’ is the closest final product to what I had in my head of any movie I’ve made. I’m not entirely even sure why that is.
Enormous enlargements of an object or a fragment give it a personality it never had before, and in this way, it can become a vehicle of entirely new lyric and plastic power.
Mr. Trump is totally and entirely pro-life.
How you feel about the modern, multitouch tablet depends a lot on what you think Steve Jobs and company set out to do with the iPad back in 2010. If you believe he was out to make a bigger smartphone or to entirely replace the Mac and PC, you’re wrong.
There are even many huts built entirely of the universal aloe.
You can be a catalyst for change but change never really entirely happens just because of one guy.
Music is like wine, it ages beautifully – and if you spend enough time you can just sit there and listen to it entirely differently.
The reason a Congress-led coalition didn’t happen in 1990 was because it is entirely possible that Rajiv Gandhi himself wasn’t sure how the Congress party would evolve in that context.
While most game developers are focused entirely on what they’re shipping in a year or two, a technology developer like Epic has to look much further out and plan many years ahead.
The protests may turn into something entirely new. Our people are very creative and well-organized. Some of them are singing in shopping malls. Students organize things here and there, without any coordination.
War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.
You have no idea how promising the world begins to look once you have decided to have it all for yourself. And how much healthier your decisions are once they become entirely selfish.
NEOCam wouldn’t need cryogen, and it would also be able to see entirely new areas of space. It can scan the sky in a new way.
Oh, I think I’ve been entirely selfish with my career. I’ve done what I wanted to do, and not put myself out for anyone else particularly.
It’s not awards per se that bother me; it’s entirely to do with the impetus they give for marketing a film.
Preparing for roles sounds so academic, doesn’t it? It feels as if you are preparing for an examination! In a creative medium, the preparation is of an entirely different kind, and for me, the ideas flow from the script itself.
