I feel that my ideas of beauty have been given very strong backing by Botticelli and a few others: Slender hands, long neck, long limbs – look at Nefertiti. She was very teensy-weensy with a long neck and wide-spaced eyes.
In my case, I estimate that the members of the British Chiropractic Association have an annual turnover of £100m, and the BCA decided to sue me personally. I was very close to backing down and apologising for an article that was fair and accurate.
This is where I would lodge my deepest criticisms. We have very whimsically been threatening and then backing off of tariffs. The people who are paying the price for the lack of strategy are North Carolina consumers who are paying more for durable goods and North Carolina farmers who don’t have markets today.
Backing Trump has been bad for business.
I couldn’t care less what people have got to say as long as I have the backing from the people that matter – the gaffer, family, and my team-mates – and they know what I am like as a person on and off the pitch. That’s all that matters.
For women to achieve equal representation in leadership roles, it’s important that they have the backing of men as well as women.
The problem is that once I start on a song and get a rough idea of where I might go with an arrangement, I try dozens, sometimes hundreds, of different things on a song. The bass, the backing guitars, the lead guitars, the keyboards. It’s a long process. It’s like 100 steps forward and 99 steps back.
I’ve got a good backing behind me with my management team, and my family are all down to earth.
Animal rights activists talk about cruelty and torture, some backing their assertions by publishing out-of-date photographs of ‘experiments’ banned long ago. This is a misrepresentation. The work we do is performed with compassion, care, humanity and humility. I have never seen an animal suffer pain.
History has spurts and then is steady, and then maybe even backing up a step, and then forward again.
I believe in backing players and helping them out with their game.
There is something about musical narrative and Australians. If you want to do something, you kind of have to do it at a level – because we’re so far away from everywhere else – that exceeds what is just normal if you want to convince people that some guy from Australia is worth backing for an original musical.
I think producers are more interested in backing concepts than directors and writers. I don’t think that’s the right way of making a decision about whether you’re going to back a film or not.
As a woman, it is so tough to grow your business. People are ready to hear all your creative inputs, but the minute you start talking about numbers and statistics, they look over your shoulder to see whether you have a man backing you up or not.
It’s great to have something to fall back upon. I don’t come from a business family; so I thought of starting something so that my kids also have some backing in future.
To be successful in coaching you have to treat your team like a family. The leader needs backing from everyone.
I had no godfather/godmother/filmi family backing me, but I made it only because I just believed in my talent, and my audience reposed their faith in me. So, I always say that my godfather in B-town has been my audience. Without them, I would be nowhere.
There is no question I consider myself a feminist, but I also think the term ‘feminist’ has become a topical thing to say without backing it up with any real action.
Failure to pass TPP sends a big signal. The United States is backing off, backing away. That will create a huge void here.
With MJ and Kobe, what you get is you get people who is talking trash to you and backing it up.
As a player, you would sometimes want a bit more public backing.
If the United States leads a multinational force into Iraq without United Nations backing, Canada should fight beside its neighbour. We’ve gone from being a middle power to a muddle power on this one.
Who knows the minds of men and how they reason and what their methodology is? But I am not going to extrapolate from the General Conference backing out on my book and make it a personal issue.
I think the key to passion, to zeal, is gratitude. Or to put it another way, the fuel to motivate is gratitude, and gratitude comes by just backing up a little and realizing how much you’ve sinned against God.
Without strong Arab backing, it will be hard, if not impossible, for a Palestinian leader to reach peace with Israel.
Politics has become very corporate. There’s a whole farm system for the teams. There’s decisions made at the top. There’s a lot of literal corporate involvement, PAC money involved in selecting and backing candidates.
The people who are backing the Remain campaign are people who have done very well, thank you, out of the European Union.
Around 1967 I began backing away from dogmatic Leninism, not so much because I thought it was false, I just decided there was nothing utopian about it.
Making sure there are good jobs that pay a decent wage in every part of the country means backing hi-tech companies, modern manufacturing, Britain’s scientists and creative industries – not spending billions of pounds reopening coal mines or renationalising huge swaths of the economy.
The first thing you need in order to make a business viable is to preserve a cash flow. I made sure I didn’t have any financial backing or support.
I’m trying to use people like Meredith Monk and Philip Glass and Terry Riley as the backing tracks for new pop songs. It’s really hard trying to use the format and write a pop song on top of avant-garde music, so we’ll see. It could be cool, or it could totally flop.
Oklahoma residents are known for not backing down from a fight in the political arena, on the gridiron, NBA courts or rodeo arenas, but in their reaction to the bombing, they knew intuitively they would not find restoration in rage.
Now in its third year in office, the Obama Administration has never championed the cause of human rights. Its slow reaction in June 2009 to the stealing of the election in Iran and the birth of the ‘Green Movement’ there, and its delay in backing the rebellions in Egypt, Libya, and Syria, are evidence of this problem.
With its breezy guitars and sweet backing vocals, ‘Norway’ blows away any semblance of Beach House’s previously bleak approach to pop.
We are backing good content-driven films. The company has movies like ‘Bharat,’ ‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior,’ ‘De De Pyaar De,’ and ‘Bhuj: The Pride Of India.’
I call on the Australian Government to set out the conditions upon which they will provide a taxpayer funded backing for wholesale term funding for Australian deposit taking institutions. I call on the Government it make clear the conditions upon which taxpayer funds will be used in this way.
I always believe in backing up a team that is super passionate and loves to work with each other.
