‘My Name is Khan’ saw the post 9/11 scenario from a Muslim perspective. In fact all films dealing with the post 9/11 conflict – whether ‘New York,’ ‘Kurbaan’ or ‘Khuda Kay Liye’ only showed how Muslims were victimized.
Every actor prepares a scene in their own way. For me, it’s about understanding the scenario, the room I’m going to be working in, the obstacles in and around the frame, etc.
What I love about ‘Save Me Tonight’ is that it came to be through friendship. It was a perfect scenario for friends to come together and create.
That’s the way I look at things – if you focus on the worst case scenario and it happens, you’ve lived it twice. It sounds like Pollyanna-ish tripe but I’m telling you – it works for me.
The idea of the mask in any scenario has always fascinated me. Not only does it protect identity, it also allows one to hide.
There’s no scenario in which I wouldn’t want my entire family at a wedding.
My experience is that if the military didn’t want to use force and was confronted with a president that did, the military would come back with what I would call the ‘bomb Moscow’ scenario. They would say it had to be done with conditions that were so extreme, you obviously wouldn’t do it.
It’s like, I don’t think you understand, Michael Jackson’s bedroom is two stories and it has, like, three bathrooms and this and that. So, when I slept in his bedroom, yes, but you understand the whole scenario.
China and the U.S. need each other very badly. Yes, we should argue about some things, but it’s not an ‘us versus them,’ it’s an ‘us and them’ type scenario.
Autonomous driving provides a scenario where AI can deliver smart tools for assistance in decision-making and planning to human drivers.
Worst case scenario, nothing I do has any value or purpose, but if I can make someone laugh, I’m at least as useful as a piece of quiche would be.
I’m still fighting really hard to get any role I get. If it’s comedy, I go for the laughs. And if it’s drama, I try to tell the truth, and try to play the real stakes of whatever scenario the character’s in.
As you watch the world crumble, try taking your Armageddon with this sprinkling of irony: Over the last three decades, business has got virtually everything it wanted, and its doomsday scenario from the 1970s has come true because of it.
I think the really cool and compelling thing about math and physics is that it opens up entry to all these hypotheticals – or at least, it gives you the language to talk about them. But at the same time, if a scenario is completely disconnected from reality, it’s not all that interesting.
You can’t just shoot your way out of every scenario in ‘Resident Evil’ games. You have to use your intelligence.
I have a lot of cop friends that I’m close with and we talk about these things. I always ask them, ‘In this situation and in this scenario, what would you have done or what should’ve happened?’ If a guy doesn’t have a weapon or doesn’t seem like he has a weapon, drawing your weapon should never be the answer.
For me, music always leads. Lyrics are only about how they sing. It is wonderful if they read well, too. In the very best scenario, sometimes a lyric will pop out with a melody, simultaneously. That’s a lovely thing, but you can’t rely on that.
The reason that we don’t have happy hours up here is because you never know when something might actually go sideways, and so we always have to be prepared in a worst, worst case scenario to jump on our spacecraft and go home. So, we have to keep it pretty straight and narrow while we’re up here.
There’s an arrogance of assuming that we can interpret the past – that we’ve left the right footnotes, that we’re doing the right reclamation projects, that we’re not overcorrecting. Actually, we have no idea where we’re going. It’s this Tower of Babel type scenario.
An auditory scenario for the players to act out with their instruments.
What gets you out of bed in the morning? This is a question I’m often asked as a politician. It tends to be closely followed by a dozen other questions about what I’ll do in ‘x’ scenario or whether I’ll resign if ‘y’ happens.
While a lot of management development books try to teach you a lesson or give you a scenario of what corporate culture and work practices are about, they’re theoretical and written in a sermonizing way. Most people don’t get past the first chapter, and they just look nice on the bookshelf.
I find it very difficult to see a scenario where financial regulation doesn’t pass the Senate.
It just seemed too weird to me. I don’t know, maybe they were smoking a joint in the car downstairs from their parents’ apartment. I had to go that far to put together a scenario of how they could have possibly recognized me.
There is so much talent in the country, and not all of that necessarily is confined to Bollywood. There are some great musicians from the independent music scenario in India making some great music.
I always embrace the worst-case scenario.
