A career in film didn't seem like something I could attain. Whereas I grew up next to New York City, and I spent my life going into New York City seeing plays, and I was a theater actor in school. Acting on the stage felt really natural to me, and I liked it, and I wasn't terrible at it.
There have been some brilliant and very successful standalone books that work in themselves and also seem to refresh a series. Anyone who writes a series lives in fear of it becoming stale, so you do whatever you can to keep it fresh - although it does feel a bit nerve-racking to write outside of your comfort zone.
There's no evidence whatsoever that men are more rational than women. Both sexes seem to be equally irrational.
This might seem impossible to believe, but some lawyers actually like lawyering.
Youthfulness is connected to the ability to see things new for the first time. So if your eyes still look at life with wonder, then you will seem young, even though you may not be chronologically young.
Virtually everywhere in the world, people still wake up and want their country to be more like the United States than any other nation. We are the envy of the world because of what we stand for and how our democratic process, flawed as it may often seem to be, operates. We should take pride in that.
Around here, manana seems to be the busiest day of the week. We never seem to get there.
When I was child, I was intoxicated by celebrities, showbiz and theatre, but from a child's perspective, where they seem far away.
Be content to seem what you really are.
The worst moment was when I was performing and I was about to sing, but I choked. I had a tickle in my throat and I started coughing, and I couldn't get the words out. It lasted for like thirty seconds, but I got over it, and luckily the crowd didn't seem to care.
Throughout the industrial era, economists considered manufactured capital - money, factories, etc. - the principal factor in industrial production, and perceived natural capital as a marginal contributor. The exclusion of natural capital from balance sheets was an understandable omission. There was so much of it, it didn't seem worth counting.
Work doesn't seem to interfere with my life. I have time for everything, even time to be alone.
There's no sense in making life seem like it's a struggle, because that doesn't make anybody feel better.
I know it may seem surprising to people, but learning dialog that has a conversational flow to it is not that difficult.
Mali exists mostly to itself. Few people go there. Few Malians leave. Most of Mali's 13 million people live, and seem to live quite happily, off the rice, corn and millet they grow and the long-horn cattle and goats they keep.
I really am a thinker. I don't do things rash. I know some of the things I've said or the way I act seem rash. But I do take ownership of it. I don't say things I don't mean.
This book is about physics and its about physics and its relationship with mathematics and how they seem to be intimately related and to what extent can you explore this relationship and trust it.
All the Frank O'Hara types seem to have very little sound stuff going... it's so chatty or something.
I'd like to think life has improved since 1850, despite the long hours we all seem to spend slaving over hot computers, but the psychological journeys remain the same - the search for love, identity, a meaningful place in the world.
I seem to have to make my characters family before I can access their hearts in any way that matters.
Speak the truth, and all things alive or brute are vouchers, and the very roots of the grass underground there, do seem to stir and move to bear you witness.
I will admit, like Socrates and Aristotle and Plato and some other philosophers, that there are instances where the death penalty would seem appropriate.
Many things about our bodies would not seem to us so filthy and obscene if we did not have the idea of nobility in our heads.
I could be with a woman in a bed, for weeks even, and it would seem to me like three seconds. Or 300 years.
Everybody is an expert on one thing - that's what I learned in my high school journalism class - and that's, of course, his own life. And everybody deserves to live and have his story told. And if it doesn't seem like an interesting story, then that's the failure of the listener, or the journalist who retells it badly.
When for so long you can't get a job for reasons that seem specious, you you finally do have it, you are constantly afraid of losing it.
How far away the stars seem, and how far is our first kiss, and ah, how old my heart.
I love watching 'UFC' - Ultimate Fighting Championship - I don't know why, because I'm more of a coward than a fighter, but I seem to be very drawn to these blokes actually smashing each other to bits.
I suppose the place where I live is fairly remote, it would seem remote to some people.
There is hardly any one so insignificant that he does not seem imposing to some one at some time.
I've noticed that girls between like 20 and 30 seem to know 'Can't Hardly Wait.' I got the goth kids who know 'Buffy.' I got this wide spectrum of people who range from like 8 to 13 who seem to know 'Scooby-Doo.' Then I get the international people who seem to know 'Austin Powers' and 'The Italian Job.'
Most men seem to live according to sense rather than reason.
We live in a science fictional world with things like cloning and face transplants, and things seem to be getting stranger and stranger.
The primary social contract between the people of the United States and their government - quaint though it might seem to even mention it at this point - is that ours is to be a government 'of the people, by the people, for the people.'
Work place romances always seem to get very confused and peculiar, in my experience.
Before my tenure, people didn't seem to think that citizens had a right to limit the size of their government.
