I resent all organised religions.
When I was working on ‘Homeland,’ there was a consultant who helped me a lot… I went to Washington and met with my consultant there, and he actually organised a lunch with several people from the Intelligence Committee.
My younger self wouldn’t recognise me at all. She would think I was quite serious, organised and practical, but I’ve had to be to run the foundation.
I think a reason that a lot of people feel politically paralysed is that it used to be clear how power was organised. But those who have their hands on the levers of popular culture today have great power – and it isn’t even clear who they are.
Parties are organised happiness but happiness is accidental. You can’t legislate for it.
A novel means a new way of doing a story. If you go back the origins of a novel, ‘Clarissa’ – that’s not a novel; it’s just a bunch of letters. But it isn’t! Because it’s organised in a particular way! A novel is what you make of it.
It is at programmes organised on the sidelines of temple festivals that you get to see raw audiences who will let you know immediately whether the act has clicked or not. It was those audiences who taught me how to strike a rapport with the audience.
After my 12th, my parents moved to Bangalore while I moved to Mumbai to study Economics at Sophia College. Much unlike other girls who managed to evade the curfew and organised the slips to get out of college, we would attend college and were interested in academics.
I’m organised in some ways, but not in others.
I’ve been a single parent for a long time. It reminds me of being a waitress. As you walk back to the kitchen, requests come at you from all sides. You’re doing the job of two – you have to be highly organised.
Most of the clubs who have had success against Barcelona have relied on a highly organised and disciplined defence.
We know an organised workforce cannot be enslaved, but when governments fail their citizens and allow corporations to escape the rule of law, slavery can flourish.
Where I grew up, in New Jersey, there was a lot of organised crime activity. It was a part of life.
I don’t think you can manage 400 games in the Premier League, 550 in the Championship, play 980 times and not be a little bit organised.
I like my life to be pure and clean and organised, and I like to have had eight hours’ sleep a night. I honestly don’t think I’d be as successful if I was a party animal. Because I don’t think my personality would be as focused and open as it is.
We try and play football in a positive way. Any team has to be defensively organised, but you have to look at the attributes of the players and play to their strengths.
The world is organised by the war economy and the war culture.
I have been fighting for democracy since I was 15 when I organised a strike to oppose the Hong Kong government’s plan to introduce the Chinese patriotic school education; 100,000 people surrounded a government building with students asking for democracy for every citizen.
I’m a very motivated person, and that goes hand in hand with being very organised. I always plan what I need to do to get the best out of every day.

Folks who think organised crime is a thing of the past are only kidding themselves.
When I was a teenager, I went on an organised three-day tour of Rome. It was the worst experience ever. I promised myself that I would never travel like that again, with someone telling you what to see and what not to see.
I avoid any kind of organised trips as that’s one of my bugbears.
I enjoy it too much – even if I knew I’d never get a book published, I would still write. I enjoy the experience of getting thoughts and ideas and plots and characters organised into this narrative framework.
Chinese society is organised around the family unit.
I had to stop being a student idiot and become more sensible and organised and that definitely improved my batting. I also reacted far more quickly to situations in Test cricket because I’d been a county captain. It made a huge difference.
There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains.

I’m a very organised guy.

All the religions are basically good, but there’s something about organised religion that leads to corruptness and poison.

It is remarkable how easily children and grown-ups adapt to living in a dictatorship organised by lunatics.
I call my life a beautiful mess and organised chaos. It’s just always been like that. My entire life things have been attracted to me and vice versa that turn into chaotic nightmares or I create the chaos myself.
Modern threats, like terrorism, disease and organised crime have no respect for borders.
It’s pretty scripted on the road: very organised and compartmentalised, and that’s the way it has to be with so many people involved in a Stones tour.
