Assuming if there’s such a thing as reality, if you have a false relationship with it, how can you do anything but fail?
The failure of one regional bank, assuming it is following a traditional model, will not threaten the entire system.
Doing a good play on the stage is like eating a good meal at home – assuming your wife is a great cook or that she’s hired a great cook.
In so many reviews that I’m reading of ‘The Florida Project,’ everyone is assuming it’s my second film.
Characters can become boring. That’s what’s tricky about television. It goes on and on – you’re playing this same character for five seasons and it gets easy to fall into just walking on the set and assuming you know how to play a scene.
I always have a rule that acting is acting and truth is truth and you just go out there and you do it. But what happens in each medium is that you have other responsibilities. The acting remains the same, but each medium dictates assuming other halves to make the acting work.
Assuming the chairmanship of ASEAN isn’t going to do anything about improving the lives of people.
It is something I would like to do, to be a manager, but that’s not assuming I will be. It’s something that I can strive towards and see where it takes us.
As a college-educated twentysomething woman with cool glasses and an affinity for modern art and Ryan Adams, I had the constant experience of strangers assuming I was a liberal. I grew accustomed to the shock and horror that passed over their faces when I revealed that, yes, I am a Republican.
Those who refuse to reform may not make mistakes, but they will be blamed for not assuming their historical responsibility.
We are assuming that we exist, that there is reality, and that the matter of which we are made is real.
Assuming that Iran could become the only oil producer unable to export its oil is a wrong assumption… The United States will never be able to cut Iran’s oil revenues.
From the time I was very young, I was a professional, making money and assuming responsibilities. I didn’t live the life of a child. I was living the life of a 30-year-old.
I have never been a fan of bond funds. Unlike a direct investment in an individual bond that you can hold to maturity and be assured you will get your principal back (assuming no default), a fund has no finite maturity date and most funds are actively traded.
I’ve said before I think the best thing about social media is that it brings people together and the worst thing about social media is that it brings people together. You’re assuming that the people following you know what type of person you are and what type of humour you have.
My duty to the army and to the republic whose battles we were waging forbade me assuming a position of seeming hostility to any portion of the brave men under my command.
I think celebrity is taking a heavy shot because of reality TV and the rise of Mr. Trump. I think people are becoming a little more leery, assuming that being a celebrated individual means you have some gravitas.
It’s hard to write an Evan Hunter novel because I really am starting from scratch. I’m assuming a new voice each time. The McBain voice is set.
Assuming roles is something that simply won’t work for me, since I don’t have a style. None at all.
I won’t make shorthand films, because I don’t want to manipulate audiences into assuming quick, manufactured truths.
‘Banshee’ is the story of a man who gets out of prison, tracks down his long-lost love, and tries to reclaim what was stolen from him years earlier by assuming the identity of a sheriff. I guess you could say it’s an explosive action drama – sit down, strap in, and enjoy the ride!
Many travelers get into trouble in places like Dubai by assuming that it is sufficiently Western for them to drink as they do back home. But elsewhere in the Muslim world, it is quite controlled, and the non-Muslim will be steered down a fairly narrow path.
The paradigm of competition is a race: by rewarding the winner, we encourage everyone to run faster. When capitalism really works this way, it does a good job; but its defenders are wrong in assuming it always works this way.
