I have actual dreams of Bruce Springsteen calling me up on stage to wear a bandanna and play rhythm guitar next to Little Steven.
So much of our fictional medievalism is distorted through a lens of Protestantism and the Reformation, slanted even further through Victorian anti-Catholicism. The depiction of actual medieval attitudes toward the Church is remarkably rare.
The Democrats have no actual policy proposals of their own unless constant carping counts as a policy.
They should be required to be in less events; there should be less events for the women. It seems it takes an actual meltdown on the court or women quitting the game altogether before they realize there’s a need to change the schedule.
I think often times if a guitar riff is centered around the chorus or if it follows the chorus, then it often times turns into the actual hook.
I clearly understood the concept of wise use before I ever heard the actual words, for my father wouldn’t allow us to waste anything.
I don’t do nonfiction anymore. Eventually, you just feel constrained by the facts. You want to go where the words take you, and people’s actual lives don’t always conform. And you can’t know them that well.
It’s hard to form actual legitimate relationships.
American government did not originate in any abstract theories about liberty and equality, but in the actual experience gained by generation after generation of English colonists in managing their own political affairs. The Revolution did not make a breach in the continuity of their institutional life.
Why do we love our grandparents so much? Part of the reason I think has to do with the tremendous natural affection and affinity that kids have for older people, whether they are their actual grandparents or not.
I loved ‘Dungeons & Dragons.’ Actually, not so much the actual playing as the creation of characters and the opportunity to roll twenty-sided dice. I loved those pouches of dice Dungeon Masters would trundle around, loved choosing what I was going to be: warrior, wizard, dwarf, thief.
There’s no actual title. Except sometimes ‘wife of the prime minister,’ which, you know, we could be a little more progressive.
I write an actual script rather quickly – a draft will take me two weeks – but I write a lot of drafts. My big thing is I don’t re-read. When I write, I never re-read back. I’ll send it, because if I re-read back, it will cripple me.
I loved to sing my whole life, but it was never really – I don’t even know how to say it. It was never presented to me as an actual career option.
I saw Bitcoin as an actual market opportunity: as a trillion-dollar marketplace with long-term potential.
Art can end up answering questions or asking questions. But when it’s not connected to actual movements, it doesn’t ask the right questions.
All I can really say is it’s bloodier than hell. In this one I’m going to be much more direct and honest in my description of the actual killings and the crime scene.
I’ll always have my fan base. I know my actual fans are rockin’ with me even when my haircut was messed up. They’re never gonna leave.
Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are affected more by the idea of fame than the actual work ethic involved. A lot of them just want to be reality TV-type people who don’t do anything.
I guess art itself is insane. Its actual function is rarely clear, and yet people give their hearts and souls and lives to it, and have for all of history.
It took us two years to get our first real gig. That was a big dream. We ended up booking a lot of our own gigs and putting on a lot of our own shows. We were trying to get our actual music across, trying to make a connection there.
You know, it’s such an insult to actual martial artists that I say that I do martial arts.
In a certain way, it’s the sound of the words, the inflection and the way the song is sung and the way it fits the melody and the way the syllables are on the tongue that has as much of the meaning as the actual, literal words.
There is no actual need to tighten voter ID rules: there have been extraordinarily few instances of people committing fraud at the polls.
Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber the actual heroes/celebrities, people feel safe and comfortably justified in numbers, committing egregious crimes in the name of the greater social ego. Ironically diminishing their own true hero-celebrity nature in the process.
I want to put my soul into the music and still be who I am when it comes to an actual conversation.
The media tends to cover immigration issues through the frame of how it impacts everybody but actual citizens of the United States.
I think the difficult thing is the transition between TV competition series and going into the actual music industry. There still seems to be a slight disconnect there.
Incumbents have long promoted regulation in the name of protecting consumers when their actual goal is to block new entrants and stifle competition.
Realistic novels simply pretend that the rules of their invented worlds are identical to the rules of actual life, but that’s a ruse.
A lot of people judge others too quickly without actually knowing the full facts or the actual real person.
If interviewers are prejudiced against women or Hispanics, for example, a face-to-face interview will predictably result in discrimination. Reliance on tests, or on actual or past performance, can promote equality.
To walk through the ruined cities of Germany is to feel an actual doubt about the continuity of civilization.
In designing the scenery and costumes for any of Shakespeare’s plays, the first thing the artist has to settle is the best date for the drama. This should be determined by the general spirit of the play more than by any actual historical references which may occur in it.
The thing in Alzheimer’s disease to remember, and we remember this all the time at Axovant, is we don’t fully understand the way the actual underlying disease works.
All my books are made up of other books. They’re all deeply structured on other fiction, because I was a student in fiction and I didn’t have much actual living to draw on. I suspect a lot of other people’s novels are like that, too, though they might be slower to talk about it.
Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals. To actual women, it is simply a good excuse not to play football.
The function of the killer and watching him – whatever that says about the world in which we live – it was always more about that world than it was about the actual watching.
I shoot reality-based movies, and in actual locations, shooting them with a star is next to impossible.
There is such a cliche to certain roles that all I can do is to try to make them realistic and work for the times, and so the audience actually won’t see me as a caricature of something, but rather as an actual person.
Playing a cop on TV and working closely with actual cops on set, I do think the media does a disservice to our first responders.
Day-dreams without work do not amount to anything; it is the actual work that counts.
If everybody is a Facebook friend, what is an actual friend?
I love the ‘Walking Dead,’ but I don’t wanna be an actual prominent character on the show. I just wanna be a zombie.
As far as I know, no money ever won in a lawsuit by IFPI or the RIAA has even gone to any actual artist.
Just because I front the band or we play bigger stages now, it doesn’t mean we somehow suddenly changed the way we approach things. We all still view what we do as indie and alternative in terms of how we execute it, even if the actual music we make is more pop than our previous projects.
Whereas you have someone like Houdini, who works really, really hard to get really, really famous, and then has actual intellectual ideas that he puts into the culture that stay there.
I’d request politicians to stop diverting attention from the actual issues that affect the country. Please stop resorting to soft targets like singers and musicians as scapegoats.
I do think there is something to be said for those who have significant experience at state level and have run campaigns or have been deeply involved in grass roots political campaigns and who have actual hands-on experience.
I like ‘American Idol’ because it’s an actual talent contest.
I don’t attend an actual school but I’m still following through with high school. I do work with a tutor for about six hours a day. It’s hard core but definitely worth it, and it’s my main focus now – finishing up high school before I release my new album and apply to college.
I don’t like high concept movies very much, and the kind of scripts that I would occasionally get offered tended to be really high concept comedies or romantic comedies. I just don’t like it. I like much more realistic movies with actual psychology and behavior in them.
There’s something attractive about making people temporarily forget their actual age by taking them out of their normal lives so completely. Doesn’t travel, by its very nature, strive to do this?
As an actor, you see a sliver of how the show is made, but to see the actual writing process and the re-writing process and the casting process and art direction and set design – all of this is happening in a very intense period.
Believing we know what makes prosperity work, ignoring the nature of the actual prosperity all around, we change the rules within which the Internet revolution lives. These changes will end the revolution.
