I don’t trade on my sexual identity in that way for political points. I think that’s lame, and it’s not my style.
I was always used to being centre stage – something that had its good and bad points.
I never saw my career as a journey with a beginning, middle, and end, with high points and low points. It is just a whole, big mass of experience, and I take each experience as it comes. I don’t strategise.
‘Thor’ has got several big battles in it, a reckless, headstrong young hero who has to confront his past and deal with a complicated relationship with his father, it has lots of savage Europeans hacking each other to death at various points, and all of this sounded very much like ‘Henry V.’
Uber is hardly the first company to exploit the financial vulnerability of teachers – and the desperation of public schools more broadly – to score PR points. Amazon, Boeing, Bank of America, and other corporations have played the part of school benefactor, offering everything from reward programs to school supplies.
Faulkner’s ‘As I Lay Dying’ had an immense effect on me, and most of my novels bear the burn marks of this experience, those short chapters with their conflicting points of view, truth expressed by multiple perspectives. The other attractive thing about ‘As I Lay Dying’ was the way it gave rich voices to the poor.
I want to look at this character from all points of view. I know I don’t want to make them all good or all bad or all anything… the story itself often helps create the character.

I really do not think about ‘Oh, right now I have to defend those points and this title.’ I just really want to enjoy playing on the court, in front of the fans.
If we remind ourselves of the fact that every fifth American today rightly points and perhaps also with a certain degree of pride to his German ancestry or her German ancestry, we can safely say that we, indeed, share common roots.
I will keep America moving forward, always forward, for a better America, for an endless enduring dream and a thousand Points of Light. This is my mission, and I will complete it.
We all have these notions of cool that come about at different points in our lives, and it’s interesting in how it evolves or doesn’t evolve in different people.
Each piece of content you create should lead your readers further down the path to purchase. Typically, sales and leads won’t happen until a prospect has had multiple points of contact with you, so don’t expect sales after a single blog post.
Speech is not violence. The Left conflates the two in order to justify its own violent reactions to differing points of view.
I believe that economists put decimal points in their forecasts to show they have a sense of humor.
Even my pathological love of Japan and its beauties, glories and eccentricities is sorely tested by ‘The Grudge 2,’ from Takashi Shimizu, a movie so bewildering and impenetrable that I believe it siphoned off a good 40 IQ points.
Television has embraced so much in terms of storytelling and in terms of a wide array of characters conveying stories from different points of view.
We do not want to be giving quality sides such as Southampton, Palace, Norwich and the rest eight or nine points start and expect to get back up with them.
International Women’s Day means many things to many people. Officially, it is ‘a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.’ These are important points that deserve to be called out – so we all remember their significance.
Skillful conversationalists can explore disagreements and make points in ways that feel constructive and positive rather than combative or corrective.
One of the most beautiful things about ‘Game of Thrones’ is it’s told from so many different points of view, and these characters can convince you that what they’re doing is right. But they’re only showing you a bit of the picture, and when you see it from another character’s point of view you may switch allegiances.
Playing football and being a tight end scoring points, it’s awesome to see so many members throughout the United States join to play fantasy football, to expand the sport, to make the game more interesting while you’re watching.
I know my strong points: I work hard, I have talent, I’m funny, and I’m a good person.
When you’re governor, you’ve got to step up to the plate; you’ve got to make a proposal for a balanced budget. That’s the requirement. And then you’ve got to sit down and negotiate if the folks that you need to work with disagree with you on points.
One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
I know what my purpose is. I know what I need to do out there on the floor. Sometimes you won’t score a bunch of points, but breathing confidence into the people around you is the biggest key, the biggest role.
It is seldom right to say that anything is true ‘according to Google.’ Google is the oracle of redirection. Go there for ‘hamadryad,’ and it points you to Wikipedia. Or the Free Online Dictionary. Or the Official Hamadryad Web Site (it’s a rock band, too, wouldn’t you know).
I still remember the five points of salesmanship: attention, interest, conviction, desire and close.
In other words the pictures are in a kind of relationship with each other which is touching only at points rather than pictures being illustrations of poems or poems extrapolations of the pictures.
The main reason I write the daily observations is because I want to know where I’m wrong. So lots of times if somebody points something out it helps me, and I want to have a diversified bet of uncorrelated bets.
What’s different now is that while political leaders used to give talking points to talk radio, now talk-radio hosts are giving talking points to political leaders. It’s all part of the suffocating spin cycle we’re in. In media, politics and publishing, the conventional wisdom is to play to this base.
Every city across the country that has successfully renewed and revitalized itself points to a robust education system as its fundamental key to success.
As hopeful as I am, there are some times in my life when I get to low points. Luckily, I still have music to get me through things.
True science is never speculative; it employs hypotheses as suggesting points for inquiry, but it never adopts the hypotheses as though they were demonstrated propositions.
Conventional forms of narrative allow for different points of view, but for this book I wanted a structure whereby each of the main characters contributed a distinctive version of the story.
It’s football. The game hasn’t changed. There’s not tons of new concepts every year that go in. Offense is offense; it’s our job to move the ball, to score points, and keep our defense off the field.
My readers often tell me that what they admire about my books is my ability to write from so many points of view. My challenge to myself is whether I’ll ever be able to write a novel just from one point of view. It seems impossible.
We become distracted from productive labors by our perceived opponents; we become focused on them and not on our larger calling to advance our nation; our debate becomes more about scoring points against an adversary and less about advancing our common cause.

I used to be a person who just peaked for the big events, not doing too many competitions, but now you’ve got to go round chasing all the points because if you’re not taking them, someone else is.

I have personal beliefs and they are sometimes reflected in the movies I make, but I also reflect other points of view.
Part of my responsibility as an officer was to oversee a team of analysts charged with synthesizing all of the data points on the map to see how one related to another. By bringing those data points together, a broader picture could be drawn and a strategy developed to counter the existing threat.
The New Testament is of full authority and open to the understanding of simple men as to the points most needful to salvation.
I’ve managed to completely reeducate myself into making eating secondary. I used to eat all the time because the food was there. Now I feel like a kid in school who is gaining points for behaving. And I love myself for it.
If we sit here and think about what other teams are doing and the points game and all that, we’re going to go crazy, and it’s not going to help our game.
Amazingly enough, athletic achievement is one of those things that seems larger than life at points. I think we all look to sport for inspirations.
