Power is the agency to effect change, pure and simple. The more power you have, the clearer and less frictional the trajectory from an idea in your mind to its birth in real life.
You can’t understand old Diana – older Diana – properly without understanding a 19-year-old living with her flatmates, going on her first date with Charles. You need to understand the trajectory that she underwent.
Every city is always changing, on its own trajectory.
We are working essentially to build a leadership force of folks who will, during their first two years of teaching, actually put their kids on a different trajectory – not just survive as a new teacher, but actually help close the achievement gap for their kids.
In baseball, you can do something poorly and still get credit. A pitcher could throw a bad ball, the batter hit a screaming line drive, and an outfielder make a fantastic diving catch. Yet, when you look at historical databases, 80% of the time when a ball is struck with that trajectory and velocity, it is a hit.
After making repeated attempts to change my career trajectory and having those efforts turned down, my passion for playing the role of a WWE Superstar went away.
I was kind of a slap hitter, trying to get base hits, hit line drives, stay below a certain trajectory with my ball.
What you get when you elect Lisa Murkowski is you get somebody who builds on that legacy that Ted Stevens built for our state for 40 years that continues on that path, that trajectory, to helping a young state like Alaska build us out.
To be in a position to help my family out and change the trajectory of the Wagner family it’s a pretty dope feeling.
If people don’t think about their finances and get involved with building a financial trajectory early in life, it’s kind of a substantial problem.
Oftentimes, a history book in school will talk about the Underground Railroad as if it’s one sentence. But thousands of people decided to run, and they single-handedly changed the trajectory of our nation. By running to the North, they put a face to slavery, which recruited a lot of abolitionists.
What I always say is, ‘To each his own.’ Everybody has a different trajectory or path in life.
I feel very comfortable with my trajectory because I do have a life; I can go on the subway, you know? And I’ve been able to do that my entire career, and I have friends who are huge movie stars and can’t go on the subway, and I feel like that sucks.
I can analyse the trajectory of my popularity and find out why the peak was a peak and the valley was a valley – grapple with it that way – but I prefer not to analyse it that much.
I think in terms of a career trajectory, it’s good for people to be reminded that, in spite of seeing me a million times a day on a show for ten years playing the same character, I’m an actor, and actors like to play different people.
One thing that’s really important for me to be creatively motivated is to find an angle. Some people refer to that as a concept, which it is, in a sense, but not overtly. It’s just something I need to focus and hone in on, and the trajectory of what might be seen as a ‘concept’ gives me creative momentum.
I’ve been kind of lucky. I’ve always just kind of followed whatever my passion was, and that seems to have led me to better places than if I had followed some career trajectory, which I wouldn’t even know how to start.
I don’t like the idea of stepping-stones in art forms: that you do your time at a regional theatre, and then you work in London and go to the West End, and then you do films. I’ve never felt like following that trajectory.
You know how if you’re born in a certain situation you always expect your life to run on a steady trajectory? I’ve never really had a sense of that. I assume that life is going to go up and down.
‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘The Shield’ were planned right from the start so that their narrative trajectory would come down in a blaze of fireworks.
Broadway was always sort of my trajectory before I found film and television – that would be really tremendous.
I really don’t have a clear trajectory at all.
I’ve gone from a kid who was sneaking out of my childhood house and lying to my parents to do shows in a community theatre in Reading, PA, to now having two shows on Broadway opening within two months of each other. That’s sort of crazy, that trajectory.
