I know I'm not much on face value, but when it comes to stage value, I'll deliver for you.
It was truly a lesson in don't take something at face value. You know, so many of us do in life. Whether it's because of how somebody looks or because of what they're wearing or what have you, you kind of assess a person in the first five minutes before they even speak.
When 'Pizza' released, I was a nobody. Initially, we managed to get only 100 screens.

Everything else - music, cinematography, costumes, design, acting - can be judged at face value.

It's very difficult.

If you take life at face value, it loses its luster pretty quickly. If you go after it, you get more out of it.
People look at you, and they think they know you. They think they can place you in a certain category by what they think they know about you. But there's so much more to all of us than what we know and what we see at face value.
After the heavily politicized 2007 Iran NIE, many of us in Congress found it hard to take some intelligence analysis at face value.

I am cynical about politicians. My experience of politicians has been thoroughly negative. I have found that politicians are people that can not be taken at face value. There are very few politicians I have been impressed with.
I was 7 years old, and I challenged everything. I never accepted answers on face value.
