Not all of us are chameleons that can do every different thing. I hope I’m going to be typecast. I will play the girl next door for the rest of my life if I have to. I always kind of feel like I have that in my pocket when I go in a room.
I’m not an artist that makes singles, I’m an artist that makes albums, and it’s a totally different thing.
Other kinds of movie stars, it’s a different thing, they bring their persona to the part and that’s what people like to see, and they are not really transforming in terms of their character.
It’s refreshing to see plus women being treated as part of the fashion community as a whole and not just a separate piece or separate different thing.
South Africa gives me a perspective of what’s real and what’s not real. So I go back to South Africa to both lose myself and gain awareness of myself. Every time I go back, it doesn’t take long for me to get caught into a very different thing. A very different sense of myself.
People try to make a big deal, like I don’t want to play my old songs. That’s not it. I don’t want to play my old songs if that’s my only option. That’s a different thing.
I looked at all the superstars. What is their different thing? Their hair. Beatles, Elvis, James Dean, James Brown, Marilyn Monroe. I wanted to be a star. I said, ‘I have to fix my hair.’
I pride myself in being able to straddle demographics, and if that was said as Barney Stinson, it would mean a little different thing.
When Peter Gabriel left, we obviously lost a very strong stage performer. Phil hasn’t replaced him; Phil’s done a different thing.
Income inequality is one thing, but a permanent division into the haves and have-nots is an entirely different thing – and much less acceptable.
Every viewer is going to get a different thing. That’s the thing about painting, photography, cinema.
When you have celebrity, it’s a whole different thing than being an artist.
Performing in front of the camera is a different thing, and shooting a whole film is another.
‘Twelve’ was a total indie drama character piece. It wasn’t that it was more about the performance, but it was just a very different thing where, with horror, there’s this whole added element of the visual and the technical and the choreography.
A lot of people these days are not music lovers – they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.
Whatever past you had, when you become a mother, it’s a whole different thing. You can’t even predict it. I’ve seen women who were nightmare party girls, who were just crazy, and then they have a baby, and this thing comes over them and changes them.
We’re like on a rollercoaster and I don’t like that because a sign of a good team is consistency, and consistency is a work ethic and it’s about producing that standard, and if you can produce that standard week in, week out, whether you win or lose, that’s a different thing.
I find with television, you have to play personality, whereas onstage, everyone talks about ‘the character,’ and what you do. It’s a very different thing, because stage is much bigger, but on television, for things to come across to the public, I think you have to play a bit of your personality.
When you get off to an African country like Malawi – which is pretty removed from everything and pretty seriously off the grid – and you see the struggle of life that goes on there, it’s a completely different thing than what happens here.
It’s a different thing when you play on a team that has to win, that doesn’t consider it a good year unless you win the championship.
The love of nature is a different thing from the love of science, though the two may go together.
With film, I have to be a team player; it’s a whole different thing. I can’t just be a one-man show. I have to learn how to use people to the best of their ability and motivate them to be as passionate about the project as I am.
It’s a different thing to write a love story now than in the time of Jane Austen, Eliot, or Tolstoy. One of the problems is that once divorce is possible, once break-ups are possible, it can all become a little less momentous.
There are not many people who understand that creative management is a very different thing than normal management. You don’t manage accounts like you manage designers.
To say that man is a reasoning animal is a very different thing than to say that most of man’s decisions are based on his rational process. That I don’t believe at all.
To make oneself an object, to make oneself passive, is a very different thing from being a passive object.
There was a uniqueness to the American case of slavery. 10 million people, a conservative estimate, were brought to America… hundreds of people were set up in work camps, and hereditary-forced labor was put in place. That’s a very different thing than the personal slavery that existed elsewhere.
Risk taking in business is one thing. Risk taking in your personal safety is a different thing.
I would never try and do a remake off a movie. I think that’s a whole different thing. I think everyone will always remember the first movie, and they will always compare it with the second one.
It’s one thing to play football in this league and make a living, but it’s a totally different thing to come to a place with a rich tradition like the Bears.
The writing is all done, so it’s all about verbalizing everything from point A to point B, and certainly there’s a bit of politics involved, so it’s a different thing.
I never said I’m unhappy about going to the ACC. I’m unhappy the Big East broke up. That’s a completely different thing than saying I’m unhappy about going to the ACC.
