I love playing for my country, getting the support. Especially for the kids and everybody, showing my example of what I can achieve so early. And maybe they can achieve it, too, just to get that in their minds.
People don’t want to see me having a bad morning. They have job problems, financial problems, family pressures, kids to get off to school. The last thing they want to wake up to is someone showing them the same problems. So maybe that’s the one time I am forced to act.
The runway isn’t just about showing fashion, it’s about gaining confidence. And I really believe that once you’ve got your confidence, you can wear anything, you can do anything.

Bore children, and they stop reading. There’s no room for self-indulgence or showing off or setting the scene.
I’m pretty transparent and clear about things. The things I do and the way I act are no different than I would expect of others. Mostly it’s about being very clear about what we are trying to do and communicating a lot and showing absolute consistency and integrity about what I say and do.
‘Kimmy’ first and foremost is a show about a woman overcoming the odds. I think that they write the show in a way that you’re not beaten over the head with it, but showing and not telling. I think that’s really powerful.

All I wanted to do was come into my own and find out my career path and what I wanted to do with my life – but, at the same time, showing respect to my father and mother and make them proud as well.

Acting is not about showing what you’re feeling. It’s about doing something. It’s about what you’re doing for the other person. Anything other than ‘doing’ is not grounded in the truth.

My message is just showing people how I came from nothing.
I don’t really see the point in planning to show off-schedule. I think it’s things like showing on-schedule that helps London be organised as it is.
People are coming to you at their most vulnerable; they’re showing you the parts of themselves that they’re afraid to show: the parts that they’re not so sure about, not so secure in. And so it’s a really holy profession I think, teaching. If you do it right, it can change somebody’s life.

There have always been arguments showing that free will is an illusion: some based on hard physics, others based on pure logic.
If you can’t relax during your interview, then nothing you do to prepare will matter. Being yourself is essential to the selection process, and interviewers will feel it if you’re too nervous. Showing fear or anxiety appears weak compared to a relaxed smile and genuine confidence.
I never gave much thought to anything since I was 22 years old, when I got into the arts, so when Larry David came to my house in 2000, I didn’t even think about it – I just thought about showing up on the set.

Pluto is showing us a diversity of landforms and complexity of processes that rival anything we’ve seen in the solar system.
For a long time, I couldn’t just sit and have a conversation with people at a table without showing them a trick. I thought you just had to impress, it was about impressing, which of course is what you do if you don’t feel very impressive.
When Kehlani brought me out onstage, I really enjoyed that. I was just appreciative for her to think of me and bring me out woman to woman, introducing me to a whole new audience to me. It was just showing that I was appreciated for what I’m doing, that some people mess with me, and I’m all over the place.
Give your employees a shot at showing the company a new way, and provide the room for them to chalk up a few small victories. Once they’ve proved that their idea can work on a limited basis, they can begin to scale it up.
You know, when Michael Jackson does the moonwalk, he’s showing off! When Prince or Hendrix do a guitar solo, it’s confidence! I would hate to be at a show and some nervous wreck is sweating up there and doesn’t feel like he deserves to be there.
My youngest daughter sings. She’s going to be very good. She’s graduated from Music School and she’s been working down around and getting her feet wet, you know. I had her out with me for a year just showing her the ropes a little bit, but she’s going to be all right.
The last scene in ‘Moonlight,’ that’s one of the most extraordinary things I’ve ever seen on film in my lifetime. You see two men showing such tenderness towards each other. And it’s bold; it’s deep. It’s complex. It’s profound.
I love showing people that I wasn’t that guy, the guy in ‘Will & Grace.’
Showing off seemed to me to be a highly valuable and necessary activity when I was 20.
I was constantly being told I shouldn’t talk so much about how I was feeling. They seemed to think I was giving too much away to my competitors. Showing signs of weakness. But I’ve always thought that was rubbish.
As I wrote, I found that Aibileen had some things to say that really weren’t in her character. She was older, soft-spoken, and she started showing some attitude.

There are many ways of showing your protest and discontent without the actions of Kremlin.
I say that a university is a house of knowledge, not for showing off Dolce & Gabbana bags. Students should go to university in uniform.
The rarity is the sudden epiphany or single turning point showing you with dramatic clarity that your marriage is over, although that does happen. Most relationships hover on a precipice for years before one party or the other finally decides it is time to jump, and coming to the decision isn’t easy.
There’s nothing wrong with showing sexuality. If you have that inside, it’s just an expression of who you are. If you want to share that with people, that’s amazing. I love that.

If I can inspire people by showing that following a dream by working hard and being determined is possible, it’s amazing.

Y2K is showing everyone what technical people have been dealing with for years: the complex, muddled, bug-bitten systems we all depend on, and their nasty tendency toward the occasional disaster.
Thomas Piketty assembles the facts to prove a central point about trickle-down economics: Doesn’t work. Never did. He has cold, hard data showing how the rich keep getting richer and how the playing field is rigged against working families.
I think it’s good that producers are showing more ways to show their artistry and be more the artist, you know? Not just the producer in the back making the beats.
