Sometimes we fall in love with the idea of a person and have trouble seeing the real thing.
I’m no model lady. A model’s just an imitation of the real thing.
If you train people properly, they won’t be able to tell a drill from the real thing. If anything, the real thing will be easier.
It is not a computer generated image, like you see on TV or some movie in Hollywood – this is the real thing a guy built, a rocket he’s sitting in it and he can be dead in 10 seconds.
You have these people that fight wars for their country, and then they come home and they need to attend to their mental health, and they can’t get a job. That’s a real thing.
The power of sexual attraction is a real thing.
I feel like fear is a very real thing, a very ubiquitous thing, and it can be very subtle.
I knew the coronavirus was a real thing, but it really hit home when my aunt died, and it was really hard to watch my mom go through that with her sister.
Even though reality TV is very manipulated, it’s all manipulated so that something real happens. And so, our job in this era is to make that real thing happen, because nobody wants to see any more manipulated, pre-planned performances. That era is over.
Somehow, married or single, we’d rather anesthetize ourselves with love substitutes than go for the real thing, because let’s face it: The real thing is pretty scary.
Heartbreak is a real thing.
You can’t have the real thing on camera – that’s the nature of cinema. When you see people like Daniel Day-Lewis and Ralph Fiennes screaming and hyperventilating, you’re seeing the phoniest kind of bad acting. You may as well have a ‘men at work’ sign. It’s not acting if you can see it.
They’re just actors. I much prefer the real thing!
To get to play someone who was in some capacity the King of Harlem, that meant something to me. Deep within my bones. I was inspired by the energy that I knew to be a real thing.
There’s timing in drama. You have to have a sense of rhythm. But the real thing that lends yourself to drama as opposed to comedy is a sense from the audience of whether there’s more to it than you can see.
I think Clinton fatigue was a real thing. It’s just hard to get comfortable with Gore – it was hard for him to project who he is, the person people know in private.
A lot of the time, people think I’m really dumb or really uncomfortable talking to them, which is kind of a real thing.
I do like a little romance… just a sniff, as I call it, of the rocks and valleys. Of course, bread-and-cheese is the real thing. The rocks and valleys are no good at all, if you haven’t got that.
The real thing is, you should be seeing these plays in the Theatre. That’s what they were written for. That’s where the enjoyment is. Studying them is no enjoyment whatsoever.
I prefer the mystic clouds of nostalgia to the real thing, to be honest.
The real thing people miss in vegetarian cooking is fat. Fat is flavor. It is delicious.
