I’ve been really fortunate to be able to do different kinds of films in different scales, different genres, different kinds of roles, and that is important to me.
I make documentaries from time to time to remind myself of reality. It’s like musicians doing scales to keep their fingers working: when you’re in the street, listening to people, you’re forced to be in the service of your subject.
I’m very serious about what I do. I practice every day for three hours. I work on my scales; I work on my tone. But otherwise, I like to have fun.

To us large creatures, space-time is like the sea seen from an ocean liner, smooth and serene. Up close, though, on tiny scales, it’s waves and bubbles. At extremely fine scales, pockets and bubbles of space-time can form at random, sputtering into being, then dissolving.
When you see a fish you don’t think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen through the water… If I made fins and eyes and scales, I would arrest its movement, give a pattern or shape of reality. I want just the flash of its spirit.
Scales played in the correct musical way are very exciting and rewarding.
When I do a T.V. show, I hear all these artists in their dressing rooms doing scales – I’ve never done it because I’ve never had voice training. What I do to prepare is get in my car and sing along to the radio for about 20 minutes.
If you’ve stacked on the weight over time, and if you don’t have any health issues, you don’t realise. So you’ll see yourself in the mirror and, yes, you know what the scales say, but you don’t actually see what other people see.
Those nations have a very great responsibility at this juncture of the world’s affairs, for by throwing their joint weight into the scales of history on the right side, they may tip the balance decisively in favour of peace.

I’m trying to play tunes in a new way, using all the same scales, harmonies, structures, but twist everything a little bit so that it comes out sounding different.
I was getting bored and, I think, being a real pest. I remember Brando coming and sitting on the bed and cutting out the most exquisite paper fish, with detailed scales and fins. Then he took a hotel pen and a piece of string and made a fishing pole.
In the history of physics, every time we’ve looked beyond the scales and energies we were familiar with, we’ve found things that we wouldn’t have thought were there. You look inside the atom, and eventually you discover quarks. Who would have thought that?
Eric Clapton’s scales – when he comes off a high note and it’s time for a refrain or a little bit of a rest, he peals off scales going downwards that are so good it’s unbelievable.
No student should feel like there isn’t a way to seek justice, and no student should feel that the scales are tipped against him or her.
I don’t have the slightest idea of how to do vocal exercises or scales or anything like that, but I did always know to breath properly from the stomach. I’m a pop singer and never really felt I needed more.

I’ve only ever had one doubt about music. It came when I was 11. I hated playing scales.
I’d like to look like Madonna when I’m her age. I also look at athletes and love their bodies. I’ve always wanted to be muscly, not skinny. A lot of women yo-yo around, but I’m always aware if I’m getting a bit out of shape. I never look at the scales but I can just tell. It goes on my tum and bum.
By definition, as a company scales rapidly, it adds people quickly.
I missed out on my teenage years. I led a sheltered life. I was practicing scales instead of playing football.

I’ll admit that I don’t have a lot of discipline when it comes to practicing. I’m not the type of guy who sits at home with a metronome and runs through scales and stuff like that. But I do go through phases when I’ll be more diligent, and I notice that warming up and working on some patterns will make my playing cleaner.
In traditional 3D printing, the gantry size poses an obvious limitation for the designer who wishes to print in larger scales and achieve structural and material complexity.
Yes indeed I have gained a lot out of playing scales and etudes.
Sometimes it’s like that. I go, ‘You know what? I’m going to just change scales. I’m going to even change instruments. And I’m going to go into the chromatics of the Spanish language,’ and I do. You know, the poem is totally different. It’s like a lunar voice versus a day voice, a solar voice.
If you have a native monetization system where the atomic unit of content is the ad unit, that scales down all the way to a small screen experience. That’s why Twitter is performing so well on mobile.
