The sound of ‘Take Her Up to Monto’ and ‘Hairless Toys‘ is the sound of me and the producer in the studio doing whatever we like. There is no reference. It’s too easy to be referential now; I’m trying to find something else.

It thrills me to write reference letters for enterprising founders who are looking to get visas to start their companies here, to create value and jobs for these United States.

With the Tonys it’s a little tricky because a lot of the funnier jokes are more insider, so people watching at home may not get a Julie Taymor reference the way that New Yorkers would. So you have to figure out what comedy plays to a large audience and still respect the individuals who are there.

I wrote a book on life coaching, because my life became my own reference point how to live.

Here, I declare that the Palestine Liberation Organization is ready to return immediately to the negotiating table on the basis of the adopted terms of reference based on international legitimacy and a complete cessation of settlement activities.

I think the filmmakers that I love are ones that cross genres and do different thinks, the way that David O. Russell can do something like ‘Flirting With Disaster‘ but then go do ‘Three Kings‘ which is like an incredibly visual film – that’s a huge reference point.

During a color consultation, I like to reference food as a visual. Hot fudge and orange marmalade paint a clearer picture and helps prevent end results that leave you feeling unsatisfied.

Characters in TV and theatre tend to experience a lot of conflict, so I push myself through sport to physical and emotional levels that hurt so I’ve some other reference for extreme experience that isn’t me shouting at my girlfriend or my mum. It’s a way of controlling the uncontrollable.

Now obviously the propositions of the system have reference to matters of empirical fact; if they did not, they could have no claim to be called scientific.

Men may be spoiled by education, even as they are spoiled by illiteracy. Education is the preparation of the mind for future work, hence men should be educated with special reference to the work.

‘One Part Lullaby.’ It was our big major-label record. People reference it quite a bit, but it did absolutely nothing. It’s like the ‘Kids‘ soundtrack. It did nothing. It didn’t start anything for me.

The second one, the joint Truth and Friendship Commission, which we started now with Indonesia, that is the one that has been criticized; its terms of reference call for providing amnesty for those who cooperate in telling the truth. It does not lead to prosecution.

If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.

I was delighted to become a popular-culture reference point. I’m still delighted about it actually, and I still find it to be weird.

When France was the only reference for chefs to learn, you could go everywhere in the world, and they would copy dishes directly because they didn’t have much expanded imagination or technique or knowledge.

For the longest time, the state discourse in Singapore has eschewed any reference to welfare. Similarly, the state has tended to place meritocracy on a pedestal. Political leadership has tended to frame both issues in the extreme, with welfare representing the bad, and meritocracy representing the good.

Some time later, long after ‘Voyager’ was published, I came across the Dunbonnet in another reference, and it gave an expanded version, and it told me the Dunbonnet’s name – which was James Fraser.

Before seeing ‘The Pride of the Yankees,’ you may or may not know that the Yankees referred to are the ones who win the World Series each year. After seeing it you will find that the reference is indirect.

Meaning is what essence becomes when it is divorced from the object of reference and wedded to the word.

A critic should be taught to criticise a work of art without making any reference to the personality of the author.

A fashion photographer is nothing without clothes and hair and makeup. And when I speak to other photographers, a lot of them can’t reference a picture by the designer. Me, I say, ‘The Balenciaga.’ And I go to the shows. I feel like it’s my business.

Trump is a master obfuscator. Like an octopus escaping a predator, he releases a cloud of ink when called to the carpet on one of his many lies. His strategy? Obfuscate, then reference others. ‘Millions agree,’ ‘everyone knows,’ ‘many have done it.’

There’s no social realism in ‘Tyrannosaur.’ It’s not about the social landscape or the political landscape or any of that. It’s just about human beings. I never made ‘Tyrannosaur’ in reference to anybody – I just made it because I had to make my own films.

Most filmmakers give me the reference of my own songs; doing the same thing over and over again doesn’t push you to do better.

I’m a die-hard fan of the Power Star and like using a Pawan Kalyan reference in all my films.

That is, a system starts with a group of interrelated propositions which involve reference to empirical observations within the logical framework of the propositions in question.

Over the years, I think, people – actors, writers, whatever – lose their frame of reference. Their frame of reference is based on somebody else who did this or did that. Performances. So it just becomes a reflection of what already works. Like a warm-up. And that’s an invitation to be inauthentic.

It’s never been a point of reference to look to a man. It’s not always a good thing, I suppose, but I think independence is always preferable to dependence.

It makes no sense to talk of the social obligations of the corporation without reference to its economic obligations. The two are intertwined.

I’ve found that in an adult reference book, if it’s not a subject I’m interested in, I just can’t get into it. I was thinking, what is the place in the library I can go to to get books tailored to make things interesting for uninterested readers? Boom. The children‘s section.

I wasn’t an academic looking in books for ideas. But I educated myself about historical work that was similar to mine, to provide a frame of reference that wasn’t the usual frame of reference of the New York art world and Europe.

If I’m gonna make a dancehall record, I’m gonna reference the best dancehall that I know – even if it might just be super underground, but I know it’s quality.

Though I’m happy with the response to the film, I’ve been hearing the feedback that ‘Yennai Arindhaal’ has traces of my earlier films. It was meant to be like that. Since it’s part of a trilogy, hence the reference to the other two films in the franchise.

I try to get most of my stuff in so during the week everything is kind of laid out and I understand why our coaches are calling certain defenses, what the game plan looks like in reference to what the other team is doing.

I come from theater, and doing period stuff is so whimsical and imaginative and so outside any frame of reference than I have ever had so I prefer that just in terms of fun factor.

All I know is movies; I went to school, but movies are my reference point for everything. I figured I’d have to P.A. or intern in the art department. Because the filmmaking process is so many people creating to make one piece of magic, so I’ve always wanted to be involved. With the acting, I doubted it.

I’m never aiming to make a movie like someone else’s movie, but in order to describe a movie to someone else who hasn’t seen it, you usually have to reference things they have seen.

I’d never stop traveling, and I love bringing my family along with me. My children have points of reference everywhere, friends from Milan to Los Angeles. I think it’s really fun for them.

A lot of people in the movie business don’t have a point of reference for me; nobody really knows who I am.

I have a memory of my fourth-grade self wanting to be the first woman president of the United States, but I think that has a lot more to do with my love of world records and reference books than a love of serving my country.

I’ve had friends of mine hire people that I know well or that have worked for me, and I haven‘t gotten the call to do a reference check. That’s almost the most basic thing one can do to assess them.

We are a categorically obsessed culture, where we have to compartmentalize everything in reference to another thing, like, ‘What does it sound like? Does it sound like this?’

Each age tries to form its own conception of the past. Each age writes the history of the past anew with reference to the conditions uppermost in its own time.

Quality is timeless: It will clearly define itself. And so I make reference to and acknowledge things that I feel have been dismissed, trying to restate those musical and cultural elements clearly and vehemently.

A lot of my time is spent reading antique or out-of-print books of reference.

Ultimately Warhol‘s private moral reference was to the supreme kitsch of the Catholic church.

‘Superman’ had nothing to do with the superhero or physical power. It’s a reference to the book ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra,’ by Friedrich Nietzsche, who wrote about the evolution of consciousness to reach a higher superman state.

Hollywood style means classic glamour. My reference is the 1940s through the 1960s.

Egoic consciousness is the one we all normally operate with, until we are told there is something else! Every culture teaches egoic consciousness in different ways.

Twilight‘ has a supernatural reference to it with werewolves and vampires. ‘Harry Potter‘ has magic. ‘The Hunger Games‘ is about real people put into extreme situations and circumstances.

I miss the reference section at the library. I used to go there twice a week on missions. Now everywhere’s a research library and I can’t get an elitist kick from it any more.

I hate recording all the shows for the week in one day, because I want to be able to mention current events and pop culture. If Madonna punches Britney in the face today, I want to reference that on ‘Wine Library TV’ tomorrow. Monday‘s episode is always the best, because it’s hot off the press.

Balance is so important. We all have to cut up our clock to find out what works for you. If you’re ineffective, you’re using bad clock management, and you have to adjust. Using a basketball reference, the team who wins is the team that can make adjustments in real time.

I just don’t like talking about my relationships or anything like that, in any reference.

I can’t live for more than four years outside of Canada. I’m Canadian, so ultimately that is my reference point.

If the President is going to take to social media to make sudden public policy proclamations, we must ensure that these statements are documented and preserved for future reference.

Both referred to the Affordable Care Act, which is the accurate title of the health care reform law, as ‘Obamacare.’ That is a disparaging reference to the President of the United States, it is meant as a disparaging reference to the President of the United States.

Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.

I love those moments in any movie or film where there’s a reference to a bigger picture, especially in Marvel where everything is connected.

The word ‘iconic‘ is used too frequently – an icon is a statue carved in wood. It was shocking at first, when I got that reference. It was a responsibility, and it’s impossible to live up to – you’re supposed to be dead, for one thing.

For the entire first term, Obama and his people blamed Bush for everything – which is another way of saying they felt Bush and the Bush years were the inescapable reference point for everything they were themselves doing.

Despite the left‘s best hopes, the Manafort indictment didn’t contain a single reference to the Trump campaign and the charges he faces are completely tailored to a decade of shady business deals overseas. Collusion wasn’t the center of the charges and President Donald Trump was left out of it.

A high culture is the self-consciousness of a society. It contains the works of art, literature, scholarship and philosophy that establish a shared frame of reference among educated people.

I’d always had this romantic idea, ever since I’ve been writing scripts, that I would travel one day and pull up stumps, as we say in Australia. It’s a cricket reference. You can Google it. Pull up stumps in some country like Italy or Spain and do my little Truman Capote thing.

I want to win all the titles, be a reference for the team and for the fans, and I want to live my story at Real Madrid.

I don’t have an exact picture of where I aim to see myself, but I want to do something which will be an example for everyone. If anyone is giving a reference for good work, then they should think of me.

Negroes could be sold – actually sold as we sell cattle, with no reference to calves or bulls or recognition of family. It was a nasty business. The white South was properly ashamed of it and continually belittled and almost denied it. But it was a stark and bitter fact.

When we study Shakespeare on the page, for academic purposes, we may require all kinds of help. Generally, we read him in modern spelling and with modern punctuation, and with notes. But any poetry that is performed – from song lyric to tragic speech – must make its point, as it were, without reference back.

If you go into a studio without a set effectively, you’ve got a blue screen. As a DP you have to light it of what you think it should look like. You don’t have any reference of what the background looks like. You might have some concepts, but effectively you’re lighting it as what you think it should look like.

I didn’t have a set of rules, dos, and don’ts or a reference point on how I would navigate my career. I never planned to be in a certain place in the industry. I was walking my path and doing things my way.

I want to be so famous that I’m the pop-culture reference that people would make to try and be racist to me. So I’d be walking down the street, and someone would be, like, ‘Hey, look at this Kumail Nanjiani.’

The comics I made from 1990 to 1997 were largely based in vaguely urban, vaguely dystopic settings because that was my reference point for comics storytelling in general.

Drag went from being referential to being the reference, which is crazy.

With ‘Duke Nukem Forever‘ it was a different level of commitment for me with reference to helping the creators be true to their vision. I’ve been able to enjoy this game as much as a fan as I am a part of the creative process, and that’s a very rare and unique for me.

The construction of ‘Sekiro”s world is based on that of traditional Sengoku, or medieval Japan. To that end, we made sure to reference a lot of written materials on that period as well as actually visit several locations.

When I was a young priest in the 1960s and 1970s, there was much experimentation and confusion in the Church. Teachers and clergy were encouraged to communicate an experience of God’s love, but to do it without reference to the Creed, the sacraments, or the tradition.

Whether it’s NASCAR or whether it’s football, or whether it’s the NBA, any time something spills over to the point where somebody makes a WWE reference, I always think it’s a good thing.

I’m not a cinephile. My films don’t reference films. I’m more interested in rhythm and feeling.

If anything is scary about my writing, it’s that it’s the product of a very particular vision and doesn’t reference common speech that heavily. By ‘common speech,’ I don’t mean language as much as an agreed-on way of seeing, or a shorthand.

Descriptive Anatomy comprises a detailed account of the numerous organs of which the body is formed, especially with reference to their outward form, their internal structure, the mutual relations they bear to each other, and the successive conditions they present during their development.

It would be refreshing to have a politician try to defend guns without any reference to the Second Amendment, but on the merits of guns.

My background is in musical comedy. I didn’t know I was going to be an actor. But all my points of reference have to do with musical comedy and in being kind of a showoff.

When you’re a birder, you have all sorts of reference books, and you know about migratory patterns and technical stuff. Most people just look out the window, and say ‘is that a pigeon?’

I usually just write down what I’m doing and how I felt. How I felt if I’m skating fast, compared to if I’m skating slow or if I’m tired. I can always go back and look as a reference and see what I was doing. It’s pretty much my life on ice.

I felt like I grew up with Bowie. I never dressed like him, even though I did love the music, but consistently throughout my career he has been a go-to reference point: The suit from ‘Young Americans,’ or the gold Missoni-type looks of Ziggy Stardust. ‘The Berlin Years’ still influences me.

I’m horrible at quoting movies! Even my very favorites are not easily recalled or programmed to memory. When people start movie quoting around me, I’m that person who just smiles and then looks up the reference later.

My experience I consider an accident in the Hollywood system. I don’t believe it should be a reference for a black film maker, or an example for any young film maker, because it’s purely luck.

There are autobiographical elements to the albums, and when I write, I always reference my own life as well as other things, so I’m just like any novelist or any fiction writer who tells stories.

There was reference made to our leaders being stupid. It’s not a question of stupidity. It’s that they don’t want to enforce the immigration laws. That there are far too many in the Washington cartel that support amnesty.

‘Hispanic‘ is a reference to Hispania, the name by which Spain was known in the Roman period, and there has always been strong ambivalence toward Spain in its former colonies.

For the speedy reader paragraphs become a country the eye flies over looking for landmarks, reference points, airports, restrooms, passages of sex.

I’ve got a body of work now, I’ve been doing movies for 32 years, and you never know which movie it is that somebody might reference to you, so you’ve got to be ready for everything.

I’m looking to do an honest job, and I don’t have any Indian talk show as a reference point. I’m not looking down on them, but I want to do what Oprah did.

Just drawing on my own experience, I never – I never – personally reference myself as old. I don’t think of myself as old, but I certainly would not say that to a man.

I find it difficult to write with reference to the most memorable moments in film, when for me the best moments in films are truly irreducible.

When they sold me on ‘Supergirl‘, I went and sat down with Andrew Kreisberg and Greg Berlanti, and they described the character to me. Greg Berlanti used a couple of music theater references to kind of explain who the character was. They threw up Chris Pratt in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘ as a reference point.

It costs so much to promote something these days that almost always safety is the preferred option, reference back to things which have been successful in the past. Also, people are simply not given the time to develop and find themselves and their audience as we were.

It takes about seventy-five pages for a Parker reference – from ‘The Score,’ specifically – to show up in Geoff Manaugh’s ‘A Burglar‘s Guide to the City.’

After 1980, you never heard reference to space again. Surface, the most convincing evidence of the descent into materialism, became the focus of design. Space disappeared.

I used ‘Saved by the Bell: The College Years’ as my reference point really for my ‘Fresh Meat‘ experience.

What I learned through my research is that the word ‘actor,’ specifically in reference to those who performed in plays, came about in the late 1500s as a non-gendered word. It applied to all people, regardless of anatomical sex or gender identity.

There just isn’t anything more invigorating than to read an article or hear about an entrepreneur using the term ‘disruptive technology‘ that makes no reference to me as the source. When it’s clear they really got the idea and they use it as if it were in everyday parlance, that’s the ultimate triumph.

It is uncomfortable to be reminded that the Catholic church only removed the reference to ‘perfidious Jews‘ from the Good Friday liturgy in 1960.

Two phrases I hate in reference to female characters are ‘strong’ and ‘feisty.’ They really annoy me. It’s the most condescending thing. You say that about a three-year-old. It infantilises women.

‘Brisco’ was the first show I created, and of course, at the time I had no idea what a special experience it was because I didn’t have a frame of reference. After it was over I was like, ‘Damn. Shoot. That was something special.’ I’m still upset that it got cancelled.

The proceedings of this House in 1790, in reference to petitions on the matter of the slave trade, and of slavery in the States, have been cited. It has been said that those petitions were not received.

God’s will can become your internal reference point from this day forward; it is your choice.

As an actor, when you don’t have a reference to pick from, you experiment, try out new things. And what comes of it eggs you on. You realize your capabilities and push your limits.

Blurryface is a fictional character and a reference to insecurities, which I think all people have.

I tend not to have any references to anything. I just jump into the script in front of me. If you reference too much, you have no idea if the performances are right.

To be honest, my partner Natasha is my inspiration. She is who I reference when searching for my role. I don’t emulate what she does, but her interpretation of Giselle is so fragile and sensitive and so tender. It constantly inspires me. And I feel like it’s the other way around. We have a great rapport together.

I am like a security camera ever on the watch. The furtive quality of vision feels to me like an incredibly valuable weapon. Everything I see gets transformed into a private sketch or painting in my mind, stored away for future reference, future evidence, future ammunition.
