I like people who are minimalist with their words. Jack Nicholson thinks a lot then says something, and it's always spot on. Nelson Mandela is the same.
The bottom line always remains the same: What is the basic humanity of the character? How do I make them resonate with the reader?
Any time you are put in the same category as Jane Fonda, a real legend, it feels surreal, perhaps even undeserved.
I think most actors will tell you the same thing; when you're not working you put 100 percent into every audition.
I've worked hard my whole life, since I was a little kid. But now it's a point in my life now where I can just enjoy it, but at the same time I still need to work.
It's boring to have the same guy win. I'm actively rooting against myself.
I actually have a young readers' series that I wanna do, kind of in the same lane as a Harry Potter or Narnia or Twilight. I want to write stuff like that.
In order that people who suffer from depression seek treatment without a second thought, the stigmas must further fall until we reach a point in time when that person with leukemia and that person with depression both receive the same level of sympathy and the same level of rigorous treatment. Both people deserve it.
Schools connect children to their communities. Jobs connect adults to their societies. Persons with autism deserve to walk the same path.
I'm just very interested, fascinated, heartbroken, obsessed with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and our need to find peace on that front... Everyone's always, like, victim and avenger at the same time.
I don't want to paint everybody with the same broad brush. But I do think that the majority of folks now in the briefing room, that are going into journalism - they're not there for the facts and the pursuit of the truth.
We want to create content that our fans will like but at the same time stretches us creatively, with our own little touch.
'Mom' isn't an adjective or a personality; they're not all the same.
I have walked around the same streets so many times, and then seen a place that had been hidden to me. I now know the sites in a way that makes me think I could have made better use of the connections between place and snowball.
When at the CIA, I was fond of saying that many jihadis join the movement for the same reasons that young Americans join the Crips and the Bloods: youthful alienation, the need to belong to something greater than self, the search for meaningful identity. But it also matters what gang you join.
I want to be free to be any version of me I feel like being. I don't want to be McDonald's that serves the same food every time.
As he is one, so we call Him God, the Deity, the Divine Nature, and other names of the same signification.
I'm working harder than ever now, and I'm putting on my pants the same as I always have. I just get up every day and try to do a little better than the day before, and that is to run a great restaurant with great food, great wine, and great service. That's my philosophy.
People think comedians don't do drama. Comics are drama. And what is drama, as opposed to comedy? It's all the same to me.
A word is not the same with one writer as with another. One tears it from his guts. The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket.
I always choose roles that are, you know, hopefully different from the last role. I don't wanna do the same thing over and over again because that's, well, first of all that's no fun.
There are days when I walk through the center of Stockholm when I get this sudden feeling of happiness - a sense of belonging and at the same time gratitude that I'm so privileged that I can live my life in my city.
Generally, I'm not writing about genomes or anything like that. But people underestimate the creativity you use in science and the rigor you need in music. They basically have the same path.
Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can't be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time.
We need a wider sense of community because we're all on the same planet.
Mozart and Neil Diamond may have begun with the same idea, but that a work of art is more than an idea is confirmed by the difference between the 'Soave sia il vento' and 'Kentucky Woman.' We have different words for 'art' and 'idea' because they are two different things.
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
We fully believed, so soon as we saw that woman's suffrage was right, every one would soon see the same thing, and that in a year or two, at farthest, it would be granted.
I loved Stanford and symbolic systems. For me, I came to Stanford assuming I would be a doctor and got really deep into chemistry and biology, but I noticed everyone who was on the same track as me was taking the exact same classes. I wanted to do something more unique.
Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same. The leaf that captures a stream of sunlight, and then transfers its energy to the tree, serves one purpose in the spring and summer, and another completely different one through the fall and winter.
I could see myself still swimming because I'm really enjoying the sport. But at the same time I have this biological clock that is ticking.
I know thousands of German's who are totally different from me, so we're not alike, we're not the same.
We've had the same set designer and the same crew in many cases since 1972.
My main contribution has been that I have educated and entertained people at the same time.
I love barre because even when I'm not dancing, I feel like I'm training those same muscles.
I love the flow of the game. There's a certain fluidity to basketball. I don't enjoy watching baseball or football in the same way.
