I suppose being his twin made me understand Robin that much more easily.

You don't implement change easily in Japan unless you explain very clearly why you need to do this change, how you're going to do this change and what's going to be the outcome of this change. If you offset or you forget to explain one of these three steps you're not going to do it.
I have never truly applied myself. Lots of things have come too easily to me and at too high a level.
The only thing that matters to me about my stories is that they're entertaining and they're funny. And I tend to get bored easily, so I generally throw something supernatural in. I would say they're humorous novels that have a supernatural bent, but that's as close as you're going to get to fitting them all in the same basket.
It's amazing how much of a bodily experience being scared is. It doesn't take very long of hyperventilating to feel like you're going to pass out. It's one of those things where being scared is more of a physiological response that you can pretty easily manipulate. So in those types of scenes, it just takes a lot of energy.
A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.

I do cardio. I run. I strength-train using my own body weight. I don't like free weights, because I build muscle easily.
I think I would make a good spy. I can sort of be a chameleon. People don't notice me very easily. I never get recognized.
If anyone ever asked me what I had to complain about it would not have taken long to tell them. Maybe I was just easily pleased.
The good thing about people underestimating models is that the bar is set so low, you tend to impress people more easily.
As humans, we're so easily persuaded. We join this cause or that cause, and suddenly the other thing is wrong.
I am a feminist - I just think the label reflects my beliefs - but, you know, we say 'Rookie' is a website for teenage girls, not a feminist website for teenage girls. That's not because I'm not proud to call myself a feminist, but when you're calling attention to a project, you can very easily be pigeonholed by choosing certain identifiers.
Francis Webb is easily our greatest poet and one of the greatest poets in the world but he's hardly ever mentioned.

I'm a great audience. I cry very easily. I suspend disbelief in two seconds.
The stuff I do and say onstage I can do easily. As a performer, that comes easily. But being social offstage, it's not easy for me.

Playing roles that are intense and damaged has always come more easily to me than doing comedies or lighter stuff - that would be taking a huge risk for me.

Why waste time trying to discover the truth, when you can so easily create it?
I don't take compliments very easily. I think most musicians suffer from low self-esteem to some extent.
I could have easily been a statistic. Growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y., it was easy - a little too easy - to get into trouble. Surrounded by poor schools, lack of resources, high unemployment rates, poverty, gangs and more, I watched as many of my peers fell victim to a vicious cycle of diminished opportunities and imprisonment.
What I'm doing is making sure that I have a balance, and that allows me, I think, to be a better actor and to more easily and quickly access all of the emotions on the scale. I make sure that I read a book on the weekend or read something or do my knitting or do the things that I need to do for myself, like 'Game of Thrones.' Get that balance.
It is what we do easily and what we like to do that we do well.
