The only reason I write is that I feel I have to. Being the creator of a project puts me in a much better position to do the things I want to do.
I really hate having to put ‘female’ in front of any title, because it puts us in some kind of weird category for handicapped people or something.
If you live in a place that you perceive to be a crowded place, you appreciate government; you see it as this thing that protects you against crime, that keeps order, that makes sure that nobody puts a massage parlor next to your house, that keeps other people’s dogs from pooping on the sidewalk.
The greatest men of a nation are those it puts to death.
I’ve played with some great players and against some great players, and Sonny is special, he’s so humble and I think that you underestimate that because of the work he puts in, then his quality, outstanding left foot, right foot.
But I don’t think there has ever been anything written on the nature of violent man as deep and as thorough as Shakespeare’s Titus. I think it puts all modern movies and modern exploitations of violence to shame.
When competitors try to innovate, I think it puts more pressure on us. The only thing is, we’ve got to work harder. They work two hours, we work three hours… Ultimately this is good for the end user.
The British people have decided to leave. It is a sad decision but one which I respect. The vote puts the European Union in difficulties. It must recognise its shortfalls.
We have these ambitions that are very hard to accomplish because life puts us in our place. We have this battle with mediocrity.
Relationships and the stress of the world going down, it puts a lot of stress on people, you know financially.
Most dystopian, classic and contemporary, paints a future world that puts a twist on present society – a future world that could plausibly happen.
You know that scene in ‘Runaway Bride’ when Julia Roberts puts on the amazing wedding dress and looks at herself in the mirror and goes, ‘Swish, swish’? I loved that moment so much when I was a little girl.
The Left puts their stock in substance and lives on identity and figureheads. It will be the end of the Right to do the same.
Swavey, it puts more than one genre of music together. That’s the approach I have with all music I do.
Being a firearms officer is incredibly highly scrutinised now, and I think it is one of the things that puts off quite a lot of people. And if you think that you are more visible in that role as a woman, you might feel slightly less inclined to go into it than a man.
Then all of a sudden, Quentin Tarantino comes along and puts a song from 40 years ago in one of his films and they’ve suddenly discovered you. That was a real gift that Quentin gave me.
My dad used to have an expression – ‘It is the lucky person who gets up in the morning, puts both feet on the floor, knows what they are about to do, and thinks it still matters.’
It’s usually a big kind of vent of frustration or anger or sadness that puts me in the right frame of mind to write. It’s such a cliche to say that artists write when they’re down, but it’s true for me. It’s a relief to get out what’s eating away at my heart or my soul or my head.
Superman looks exactly the same when he puts his glasses on and combs his hair… And everyone acts like it’s someone else. I don’t buy it. Batman has a proper disguise.
For everything bad, there’s a million really exciting things, whether it’s someone puts out a really great book, there’s a new movie, there’s a new detective, the sky is unbelievably golden, or you have the best cup of coffee you ever had in your life.
The last thing my father told me was: ‘On your way up, take me up. On your way down, don’t let me down.’ A father telling his son that puts some responsibility on my shoulders. He told me that, and I take it very seriously.
I work hard in training and the ultimate goal is to get in the starting XI. All I can do coming off the bench is affect the game and score the goals so hopefully that puts a question mark in the manager’s mind.
One of my favorite artists is Tom Waits, whom most people think of as a wonderful singer-songwriter and a great poet. I certainly think of him that way, but I also know him as a terrific actor. You know, that persona that he puts on when he’s doing his music comes from being an actor, figuring out a persona.
Sometimes you just don’t feel the same everyday, it doesn’t matter what you do, but when you have people looking forward to seeing you perform for them, that puts you in the mood, and that’s natural in Boston. That’s why it’s such a special place to play.
The University of Notre Dame does not redshirt, and I endorse that policy completely. I am very much in favor of redshirting, but not at Notre Dame. But there’s no doubt about it. It puts us at a huge disadvantage.
It’s not up to me. I will fight whoever the UFC puts in front of me. If it was up to me, I want to fight Dana White.
‘Drive for Diversity’ puts people behind the wheel that would never have had the opportunity. Nascar sponsors individual teams who have a person of color, somebody who would not have the opportunity otherwise. And then they’re noticed by bigger teams – it’s like minor-league baseball.
Family puts things in perspective.
If you aren’t free to protect yourself – when government puts its thumb on that freedom – then you aren’t free at all.
Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness – great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy.
Whereas most technologies tend to automate workers on the periphery doing menial tasks, blockchains automate away the center. Instead of putting the taxi driver out of a job, blockchain puts Uber out of a job and lets the taxi drivers work with the customer directly.
You should be appeasing people as much as possible, not stigmatising them. The ban of the burkini puts into question people’s individual freedoms.
Consistency, goals, and assists – that gets you confidence and puts the thought in the manager’s head that he can’t drop you.
In short, chronological connectivity puts us in touch with the holy. It is at once humbling and exhilarating. I say this as someone who has never followed any formal religious practice. Connection with the past and the future is a pathway that charms us in the direction of sanity and grace.
Free Trade puts consumers at the centre of economic activity. It lowers the cost of imports, which gives people the opportunity to buy more with the same amount of money: domestic producers have to compete with the lowest global costs or invest in new business.
Christian music, gospel music, sometimes you’ll fall asleep at church but music wakes you up, the song can speak to you in a way that’s puts a fire in you. So if I’m working with a mainstream artist I’m trying to find a bigger purpose.
An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet.
We benefit tremendously from the E.U. Britain does very well in getting back E.U. money for the amount it puts in.
The artist who imagines that he puts his best into a portrait in order to produce something good, which will be a pleasure to the sitter and to himself, will have some bitter experiences.
If someone puts a character in front of me – no matter what it is, whether there has been a film or not – I want to be that character, not imitate it. There’s a difference – a big difference.
I have come to regard November as the older, harder man’s October. I appreciate the early darkness and cooler temperatures. It puts my mind in a different place than October. It is a month for a quieter, slightly more subdued celebration of summer’s death as winter tightens its grip.
Many young adults I have communicated with – both in-person and over email – constantly apologize before stating their idea, or finish each sentence with a question. Unfortunately, doing so in business puts you at an immediate disadvantage with your boss and work colleagues.
Old film-noir movies. There’s something comforting about watching black-and-white movies, and hearing this kind of music just puts me in a fantasy world. It’s a really great escape for me.
Every year I go to Denver, usually between June and August. I hire a car and head up to the Rocky Mountain National Park, about a three-hour drive. It’s my idea of heaven on earth and just talking about it puts me in a good mood.
Being a son of the South puts you in a different position when it comes to the Confederate flag. It means something entirely different to the people who have ancestors who fought in the Civil War on the south side of the Mason-Dixon line.
When Congress puts party labels aside, like we did on VA reform, we can accomplish some great things for the American people. But those occasions were far too rare.
Being in the space that I am as a writer, and just as a black dude in America, there’s this push to be cool or be what you’re expected to be. There’s a need for a song that puts that in perspective. I think that’s an important thing for young children to hear growing up.
Why do you want to get a good workout early in the morning? Well, because it sends more oxygen to your brain; it releases endorphins. It puts you in a state of mind where you can crush things, which is where you want to be.
