Hollywood’s thinking is very typical. And it’s just really predictable too. And I think at Hollywood, these box office movies are flopping. I mean, there hasn’t been an original thought coming out of Hollywood since the ’80s.
In many ways, I was a typical young guy out of college. I was at Oxford, where every night there’d be a late showing of some great film.
The elimination of individual capitalists and the replacement of private capitalism by state capitalism in Russia has not in the least altered the typical helpless and authoritarian character structure of the masses of people.
In some ways, there’s no typical day with all the shoots and travel and projects, but I do try and stop by my studio every day.
We tend to think that employment is employment, and we don’t ask the question: is this rewarding employment? Research establishes pretty clearly that typical notions of happiness – that more is better – really don’t correspond to the way people think and feel.
I’m not trying to say I’m a big tough guy… I’m a typical American-waist deep in this violent culture.
Unlike typical romantic comedies, Definitely Maybe is not formulaic or predictable and it spans a decade while being set against a political background. Also, the audience doesn’t know who ends up with who until the very end, which makes it a sort of “romantic mystery comedy“.
The terrain of Adam’s Mountain provides a palette unique to the region. Rather than typical mountain slope play, the course is broad and open, allowing for special golf experiences on every single hole.
Tom Weiskopf
Machine‘ was one of the biggest decisions I have taken in my life – it was the best narration till date. It is a typical Abbas-Mustan thriller.
A typical triumph of modern science to find the only part of Randolph that was not malignant and remove it.
People look at me and they dont see what they think is a typical Aboriginal.
When you objectively observe the most spiritual area to which modern people devote themselves, the religions, ask yourself if the basis of modern culture, particularly in religion, is not human self-interest. It is typical of modern sermons that the preacher criticizes people for their selfishness.
I wanted something that was really ‘us,’ but not typical engagement photos in any way. We’re not a fancy couple. More jeans and T-shirts.
I had a very normal, very typical American childhood. My father worked for the government at the Pentagon and my mother was an educator, so we had a very average upbringing, but that’s helped me in my writing because I’m writing about ordinary things.
There is no such thing as a typical season, not for the Cardinals, not for San Diego, not for Minnesota.
The film [Dream of Life] came together when we started editing; it was organic, it became nonlinear and it was its own animal. And I didn’t want to tame it, either. I wanted it to be different. It’s not your typical documentary.
We dont need more of the same, typical politicians fighting for themselves and for special interests. We need someone to believe in our small-business owners again and someone to champion those folks who play by the rules.
Are anybody‘s parents typical?
The typical American reports making about 70 [choices] in a typical day.
I’m sure I will play the typical Hindi film heroine and have my song and dance routines in future.
‘Superbetter’ looks more like a social media platform or a social network than a typical video game. You know, there aren’t any 3-d spaces to explore. You don’t have this avatar that you’re building up. It’s more about thinking like a gamer.
Innovation is the lifeblood of an organization. Knowing how to lead and work with creative people requires knowledge and action that often goes against the typical organizational structure. Protect unusual people from bureaucracy and legalism typical of organizations.
Children in school are not students, they are pupils. It is typical of certain kinds of politicians that they should regard children as adults, the better subsequently, and consequently, to regard adults as children.
I’d like to change the depictions of life, love, and adventure under what’s known as the typical, overused backdrop of Hollywood.
I am like any typical teenager.
I just love all women. A lot of them are women a lot of men wouldn’t find attractive in the least, but they’re mouth-watering to me. All different sizes: tall, short, fat. Just about the only type I’m not into is the typical fashion model.
I think my formative experiences were really in junior high, where at a typical public school we were doing little genetic experiments, very classic experiments.
Joseph DeRisi
Incredibly, a typical town hall official spends 85% of their time satisfying ministers in Whitehall and a puny 15% of the day for local residents. We believe that this relationship is upside down.
I don’t like to talk about typical things in my music – my music is more about real life situations.
The typical entrepreneur is no longer the bold and tireless man of Marshall, or the sly and rapacious Moneybags of Marx, but a mass of inert shareholders, indistinguishable from rentiers, who employ salaried managers to run their concerns.
Your first most typical figure in any new place turns out to be a bluff or a local nuisance.
A diet that relies heavily on meat production results in higher emissions than a typical vegetarian diet. Different individuals will make different choices. However, the debate about climate change should not be dumbed down to a single slogan, such as ‘give up meat to save the planet.
I think we’ve faced all the typical challenges that young filmmakers go through over the years – time, money, negativity – but it’s a lot easier to manage when you can learn from and laugh about all those mistakes and anxieties with your best pal.
I went to public school my whole life. It was a performing arts school, so I can’t say if it was a typical experience or not, because it’s all I know.
Snohetta promotes a more democratic workplace atmosphere than most other architectural offices. This may merely reflect prevalent employment practices in Scandinavia, but Snohetta places a stronger emphasis on group participation in the design process than typical high-style firms.
I had kind of a mean piano teacher. I went to Catholic school, so it was like the typical thing you would imagine – a little kid with a white-haired teacher frowning at the fact that I didn’t practice.
The Romantic poets were the prototype ramblers, and I’ve often found myself following in their footsteps – although perhaps not all of their footsteps since a typical walk for Samuel T. Coleridge might last two days and cover 145km.
And guys will say looks matter, but they’ll also say things like “Well, she should be smart and kind.” And you know those are… so the typical responses and if you give them just a few options, like five or six, then they will rate them on the very characteristics that they said were really important to them.
I’m not your typical quarterback. I don’t like when people say, ‘Quarterbacks aren’t supposed to run,’ or, ‘Quarterbacks aren’t supposed to work out a certain way.’
There wasn’t a single good character in ‘Titanic‘ who was English and this is typical.
I’m not a typical public school boy.
This case is just as racist as the fictional, but unfortunately all too typical case, in ‘To Kill a Mockingbird‘.
My mother was aggressive – the typical stage mother.

I see myself as not a typical theater person, but a person who uses the theater as a place to meet people and explore ideas.
Daddy‘ is an amazing Bollywood debut for me. I don’t play a typical Bollywood heroine. It’s a performance-oriented role.

I am a typical Telugu boy dominated by all the qualities of a Hyderabadi because I was born and brought up here.
We’re not a typical Christian band. We’ve got dreadlocks and tattoos.
She didn’t want the typical Hollywood lifestyle of juggling a career and leaving the kids at home with nannies, so she’d take me to buy socks and books and help me with my homework.
In bitter almond oil, like in a great number of other substances that previously had been counted among the ‘aromatic compounds‘ on behalf of their strong smell, a derivative of benzene is present. The special properties of benzene and its derivatives are caused by the typical arrangement of their carbon atoms.
If you’re reaching for a local reference to drop for a place that is typical of everything wrong with Britain, you would switch between Croydon or Bromley. There is a lot of deprivation there, but it’s not one of the poorest parts of the country.
I’m not a typical Republican. I am a Republican, I wear the Republican jersey, I’ve been a Republican my whole life. My dad was a Republican, which is interesting because he was in a union early on. The Republican party was very strong in the area that I grew up in. So I’m a loyalist.
My accent is not very refined as it has the typical U.P. touch. So I am trying to overcome that.
I can’t wait to get on stage, because there you don’t worry about whether you’ll ever get married because your life is insane, or whether you’ll ever have another boyfriend again, you don’t worry about the typical boundaries of how your life has to be.
I like strong, strong women who don’t go down without a fight. I like iconic roles. They don’t come around very often, so I have to wait for them. Obviously I’m not the typical blonde who stands by the side, while the man has all the fun.
The first book I wrote was The Bride Price which was a romantic book, but my husband burnt the book when he saw it. I was the typical African woman, I’d done this privately, I wanted him to look at it, approve it and he said he wouldn’t read it.
There’s not really a choice about, am I going to pursue a typical career? Because I’m not the typical standard, so that’s not even an option.
The typical old-fashioned diet (in the nineteenth century) was so bad it almost assembled modern dieting.
I wouldn’t exactly describe ‘Detention‘ as a horror movie. I mean, it does have horror elements in it, but it’s got a lot more to it, and it’s not a typical horror movie.
Shanley Caswell
I was your typical struggling actress. I went to every audition, took a million acting, dancing and singing lessons and spent years wondering where my next meal was coming from.
Generally my typical books have lots of twists and turns a big surprise ending and then usually another surprise at the end and ideally, as in Garden of Beasts, we get to the very end and we find at the last few pages that there’s yet another surprise.

Scratch the surface in a typical boardroom and we’re all just cavemen with briefcases, hungry for a wise person to tell us stories.
I’m your typical highly educated, progressive white dude. I’ve lived my life resisting racism both within myself and in the society around me.
The week of the Super Bowl takes on a carnival atmosphere. There are so many media commitments. There are so many NFL commitments, buses being shuttled from here to there. You are practicing at unfamiliar places. You are asked to do things that are outside of the norm of your typical game week.
It is perhaps typical of very creative minds that they hit very large nails not quite on the head.
Des Moines is like your typical American city; it’s just these concentric circles of malls, built outward from the city.
My work looks like a comic book in form, but it’s not a typical comic book in content. I write autobiographical stuff.
At night, what you see is a city, because all you see is lights. By day, it doesn’t look like a city at all. The trees out-number the houses. And that’s completely typical of Seattle. You can’t quite tell: is it a city, is it a suburb, is the forest growing back?
Why can’t we have a concert with food? Your typical cooking demonstration, there’s just no enthusiasm. There’s no energy behind it. I said, ‘What if we take a cooking demonstration and fortify it with a lot of good music? … Drive it to the next level?’
I think I am typical in believing that the Peace Corps trained us brilliantly and then did little more except send us into the bush. It was not a bad way of running things.
I changed my diet drastically. In college, I was a typical college guy who ate junk food all the time. When you’re in college, your metabolism is through the roof. I felt like my body started to change when I was 22 or 23, so I started meeting with a nutritionist and it completely changed everything.
I grew out of the habit of thinking or worrying about being seen as the typical Asian. I don’t even know what that means anymore. I’m not really concerned with it.
What we consider typical of the male is a question I ask myself quite often – it’s relevant to my life as an actor and as a man.
My music is very innovative, in a class by itself. Nobody else is saying anything of value. What I’m trying to do is get people to think, to alter their consciousness. It’s not your typical platinum formula for success.
I grew up in the Netherlands, in a small little town. Just a typical Dutch girl.
Unlike a typical professional, I can’t quit my job to become a full-time author; I don’t have that luxury. For me, writing is therapy; if I choose to write full-time, it might start feeling like work.
On a serious note, I just enjoy exploring the unconventional. I like Alfred Hitchcock; I actually grew up watching his films. A thriller gives you much more scope of exhibiting creativity in terms of playing with the camera and sound, as against a typical love story.
There are proxies, proxy servers on the internet, and this is very typical for hackers to use. They create what are called proxy chains where they gain access to a number of different systems around the world, sometimes by hacking these, and they use them as sort of relay boxes.
Songwriting for me is about zooming into the canvas, not songwriting in a typical sense.
A typical Ponzi scheme involves taking money from investors, then paying them off with money taken from new investors, rather than paying them from actual earnings.

He came in shoutinggoal of the season’ – typical Jonjo. He’s got that in the locker.
Garry Monk
The typical modern has the look of the hunted.
I’m a typical Delhi girl. Professional parents, nuclear family. My father was in the navy. I’ve spent my whole life in government accommodation, and it’s been lovely.
Speculators often prosper through ignorance; it is a clichГ© that in a roaring bull market knowledge is superfluous and experience is a handicap. But the typical experience of the speculator is one of temporary profit and ultimate loss
I do not dislike but I certainly have no especial respect or admiration for and no trust in, the typical big moneyed men of my country. I do not regard them as furnishing sound opinion as respects either foreign or domestic business.
The R.I.P.D. picture is like a graphic novel, I guess. I don’t know if it’s like a typical kind of comic book. But there is great source material for those kinds of films.
Most everything I do revolves around tae kwon do. That said, I like to be a typical girl and go shopping. I have three nieces and nephews that I like to hang out with. I’m also finishing my last semester at the University of Houston, where I’m majoring in childhood education.
There is no typical day, not when there are so many people out there that I care about that can’t access good food in their neighborhoods.
I’m from a typical middle-class family and I grew up in a place without a theatre.
I actually never thought that Barack Obama was anything but a typical Democratic party politician, which to me meant that he was probably in bed with Wall Street.
People ask me if I’m going to open a school. Why not? I think I should. Maybe not a typical school where anyone can come but with young fighters definitely one day. I don’t have the nerves for amateurs.
I don’t partake, really, of any of the typical rock-star-lifestyle things you could think of. I try to be responsible when I’m out on the road. I take it pretty seriously, what I’m doing, as something that’s good for the world, and my family, and everyone.
Eighty percent of the cases used in the typical MBA program are about successful companies. Students graduate with this notion that ‘If I do everything that the people in those cases did, then my organization will grow and be successful, too.’

Most private sector workers can only dream of getting the generous lifetime pension and health benefits typical of government service.
The Khodorkovsky case is typical of the “oprichnina” – the system of oppression.

In a typical history book, black Americans are mentioned in the context of slavery or civil rights. There’s so much more to the story.
I’ve never been into the typical R&B voice, with runs and bluesy sounding words. That doesn’t suit me.
My dad worked in a very typical first-generation immigrant fashion – 24 hours a day for years.
I’m a typical No 9: always in the box, strong, good in the air.
It had never occurred to me that my colour – or lack of it – was an issue for some people, but then I moved to Sydney, and apparently it was. People look at me and don’t see what they think is a typical Aboriginal. Thankfully, my mother raised me well in knowing where I come from and who I am, and I’m proud of that.
Getting to prove yourself in a room that’s not your typical demo is an experience every comic should try. It makes you better.
I have a nervous breakdown in the film and in one scene I get to stand at the top of the stairs waving an empty sherry bottle which is, of course, a typical scene from my daily life, so isn’t much of a stretch.
Most Americans stopped looking at what was happening through a variety of coping mechanisms – starting with women entering paid work and then everyone working longer hours and using their homes for raising equity and generating more money through debt. The typical household basically staved off the day of reckoning.
As soon as I get a typical day, I’ll know I’m in trouble. I like doing different things all the time.
I am a typical teen who likes to shop, sing karaoke, spend time with family and friends, answer my www.myspace.com e-mails
Paula DeAnda
Ronald Reagan is not a typical politician because he doesn’t know how to lie, cheat, and steal. He’s always had an agent for that.
I was a complete and typical only child. I was bookish, and sport was out of the question anyway. I had read all of Dickens and most of the volumes of Arthur Mee’s Children’s Encyclopedia by the time I was 11. The only time I was popular at school was the day I won the debating competition for my house.
A typical day for me involves a lot of meetings.
I have a real passion for playing a role that’s a strong female character, that’s just not typical, with a lot of heart, not an easy sell of a movie, not real commercial. It doesn’t have to be a big movie, but I’m just looking for something that I really, truly, 100 percent believe in and am behind.
Our typical Western diet is full of inflammatory fatssaturated fats, trans fats, too many omega-6, inflammatory, processed vegetable oils like soy and corn oils. These increase IGF-1 and stimulate pimple follicles.
Mark E. Hyman
I remember feeling ashamed, for some reason. I was ashamed of my parents. I couldn’t face some of my friends at school anymore, because I desperately wanted to have the classic, you know, typical family. Mother, father. I wanted that security, so I resented my parents for quite a few years because of that.
We did not purify… We saw some particles but they did not have the morphology [shape] typical of retroviruses. They were very different… What we did not have, as I have always recognized it, is that it was truly the cause of AIDS.
Only religion could justify killing an adult with a family because he carried out abortions of unwanted or unhealthy fetuses that don’t even have the intelligence of a typical fish.
Several things about Reagan are unusual in a public man. He was not a typical politician at all, but a private man in public life.
Don’t ask me what a typical Brazilian is because I don’t know what a typical Brazilian is. But Romario was a typical Brazilian.
The typical WW1 soldier was not an intellectual like Ernst JГјnger or Wilfred Owen, but was a peasant draftee from Galicia or Bavaria or Sicily, with all the traditional religious ideas. The hothouse atmosphere of war brought everyone into a supernatural-oriented universe of ghosts and apparitions.
I thought he was an interesting central figure, central character, one who is definitely not your typical central character figure in a film, who’s easy to like. He’s not easy to like. It forces you to involve yourself with what’s going on.
I didn’t want to be the typical teen idol. I didn’t want to be Leif Garrett. I didn’t want to be Shaun Cassidy, David Cassidy or Parker Stevenson. I wanted to do my own thing.
My father is an amazing guy – he’s a total, total patriot… He loves America … and he says what’s on his mind… He’s not like the typical politician who has to pander to everybody.
A diet that relies heavily on meat production results in higher emissions than a typical vegetarian diet. Different individuals will make different choices. However, the debate about climate change should not be dumbed down to a single slogan, such as ‘give up meat to save the planet.’
Sir Alex Ferguson sent me a letter wishing me good luck before my fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. He also sent me a United shirt, signed by all of the players. It was a really nice touch and typical of the man who has always made himself available to managers in this country whenever they’ve needed advice.
My background is not typical hip-hop. I didn’t grow up in the projects. I grew up in a single family home in a middle-class suburb. That doesn’t mean I didn’t experience hardship, but to me it’s not about that, it’s about the future and where we are trying to take it.
They are gorgeous. They have beautiful blue eyes and lovely dark hair – that’s the typical Irish.
It doesn’t set off any alarm bells. As is typical with T. Rowe, no transition comes about abruptly; they tend to be planned pretty well.
I expect a time when, or rather an integrity by which, a man will get his coat as honestly and as perfectly fitting as a tree itsbark. Now our garments are typical of our conformity to the ways of the world, i.e., of the devil, and to some extent react on us and poison us, like that shirt which Hercules put on.
Obviously, Turkey is not a typical authoritarian regime, and obviously it’s very important that there are free elections. But it’s also obvious that this is not a liberal, mature democracy. This is why I call Turkey a wobbly democracy. At any time, it can tip over and fall down.
You need to look at inequality as a typical condition of modern society.
If you think of the typical Herbalife distributor and their level of sophistication, to this day I still don’t understand the marketing plantrue story.
It would no doubt be very sentimental to argue – but I would argue it nevertheless – that the peculiar combination of joy and sadness in bell music – both of clock chimes, and of change-ringing – is very typical of England. It is of a piece with the irony in which English people habitually address one another.
When I go home to visit my parents, my mom is your typical Mexican loving mom. She wants to cook and feed everybody.
There is a difference between the typical politician and the statesman. A typical politician is that person who tells people what people want to hear, while the statesman tells people what people need to know.
I went to a local high school in Lancaster. Not much I can say about it; it was pretty much your typical public high school back in Pennsylvania.
When I started playing cricket, I knew that my physique is not at all like a typical fast bowler. My body language is also different, and I am not aggressive by nature; thus, my focus was always on my skills.
Without thinking too much about it in specific terms, I was showing the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed. My fundamental purpose is to interpret the typical American. I am a story teller.
It takes me about a week and a half to read the typical book. I don’t know how many ten-day spans I have left. Eventually the unread books on my shelves will have to be abandoned, or they will join me on the pyre. The book I’m about to purchase may be among them. We all buy books we won’t live to read.
I’ve screwed up and I’ve overcommitted and it’s typical of me.
We travel a lot and don’t get enough time to spend with our family, and so we have to take our pictures, videos, also bother about things like which are the HD quality phones. So I’m very much a part of these typical things.

Typical of the fundamental scientific problems whose solution should lead to important industrial consequences are, for example, the release of atomic energy, which experiment has shown to exist in quantities millions of times greater than is liberated by combustion.
With ‘Brick,’ the style with language and the way it was shot was to create a world obviously elevated from the very first frame above a typical high school.
It is good for a student to be poor. Getting and spending, the typical American college student lays waste his powers. Work and contemplation don’t mix, and university days ought to be days of contemplation.
This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that’s what I had.
I went to an all-girls pre school where everyone went off to Harvard or Yale, and I had zero interest in doing so. I think they thought I was on drugs. There was a neighboring all-boys school, so we’d get together and do dumb things. It was your typical Catholic-American upbringing.
Vehicle donation programs have existed forever, but the typical model loses a lot. There had to be a place to store them, people who could only go out so far regionally to pick them up.
My record proves that I don’t make political or public-service decisions based on what typical folks in Washington do, which is, ‘What’s going to get me past the next election, or what’s best for my career?’
I started in investment banking at Allen & Company in 1991. It was the go-go days of media mergers, and we were incredibly busy with one deal after another. Unlike typical investment banking groups, even in the midst of merger mania, we didn’t have a formal face-time culture – and I felt empowered by that.
I would love to play Wonder Woman; I have the abilities and the strength because I am definitely not the typical Hollywood actress.
I’ve probably listened to ‘Try Me‘ by DeJ Loaf 500 times. It’s a little slower than your typical strut BPM, but it still works.
My typical morning involves some time on the treadmill, but obviously I skip that a lot. Mostly, I wake up, check my email, then get to work on the various interviews and questions and phone calls that come with being an author.
People look at me, and they don’t see what they think is a typical Aboriginal. I always thought I’d be the white person in a black play.
When you get pregnant, you start reading pregnancy books. Everything has been pretty textbook. It’s amazing how they can say, ‘This week, this might happen,’ and it kind of does. I had typical nausea the first trimester, which was no fun. And extreme tiredness.
The typical jobs that a lower-skilled immigration worker might do might be construction work, it might be hospitality work, it might be restaurant work, or might be not working at all and just going onto the welfare system if there isn’t a job for that individual.
For a woman, the typical danger emanating from the unconscious comes from above, from the “spiritual” sphere personified by the animus, whereas for a man it comes from the chthonic realm of the “world and woman,” i.e., the anima projected on to the world.
Being a typical Pisces, I might have experienced mood shifts, but I don’t remember any depression, or needing to do anything, or to have someone bring me out of being depressed.
You don’t judge a book by a cover. I’m not your typical rap look.
You know, what ‘New Girl‘ is doing is they’re bringing in really cool people. These are home-run people who aren’t your typical guest-star-type people.
Michael Powell always used to say ‘I’m a typical Englishman‘. He was and he wasn’t. He was very cosmopolitan and spent a lot of time in Europe.
Our show doesn’t rely on the typical whistles and bells, and smoke and mirrors. It relies mostly on the music.
It is important to the typical ‘Star Trekfan that there is a tomorrow. They pretty much share the ‘Star Trek’ philosophies about life: the fact that it is wrong to interfere in the evolvement of other peoples, that to be different is not necessarily to be wrong or ugly.
There’s no such thing as a typical day because I lead a very random life.
It was just a typical London flat, but it was in a great neighborhood. It was across from the Playboy Club, diagonally. From one balcony you could read the time from Big Ben, and from the other balcony you could watch the bunnies go up and down.
Our typical Western diet is full of inflammatory fatssaturated fats, trans fats, too many omega-6, inflammatory, processed vegetable oils like soy and corn oils. These increase IGF-1 and stimulate pimple follicles.
When I was in middle school and even high school, I wasn’t comfortable with my body. I look back, and it makes me sad, but I’ve grown into my body and really embrace it. I don’t have the typical girl body; I’m kind of built like a boy.
Kelley O’Hara
Any professional knows that the flute and the piano is a boring combination. All you’ve got to arrive at is a kind of typical gestural crap, right? You might agree, though you wouldn’t call it gestural crap
I didn’t grow up in the typical happy American home, but music was always a safe and wonderful place for me to go.
In the Indian film industry, especially those of us who are in mainstream cinema, we invariably play a typical hero’s role. More often than not, we cater to the public perception. However, there is a latent desire in most actors to do a role where you can go all out and experiment.
I want to break that typical Asian female stereotype. There’s this standard where they’re all calm. I want to break that.
I believe that for the typical smoker nicotine satisfaction is the dominant desire, as opposed to flavor and other satisfactions.
In a typical mental health catch-22, the alienating nature of depression tends to keep its sufferers from finding their way to the very support groups that might help them.
Life wanted faces that would express what we wanted to tell. Not just the unusual or striking face, but the face that would speak out the message from the printed page. I am always looking for some typical person or face that will tie the picture essay together in a human way.
My grandparents came from a typical Marathi family, where they respect the value of rules and regulations.
My ancestors come from a part of southern China where most villages can trace their roots back at least a thousand years or even more. However, as a typical American, I have lived in four cities and moved at least seven times.
It’s typical of Mormon people to love all people, but especially Jewish people.
I’m not a really big comic book person. I know the typical ones – ‘Spider-Man’ and ‘Wonder Woman’ and ‘Storm‘ and that stuff. But don’t quiz me, because I’m not good at things like that.
[Hillary Clinton] is typical politician. All talk, no action.
I put a lot of weight on feelings and am weirdly in touch with them, which is not typical for an engineer.
It seems to me that the evidence … is opposed to the view that the spirals are individual galaxies comparable with our own. In fact, there appears as yet no reason for modifying the tentative hypothesis that the spirals are not composed of typical stars at all, but are truly nebulous objects.
The novice trader is at a disadvantage because the intuitions that he is going to have about the market are going to be the ones that are typical of beginners. The expert is someone who sees beyond those typical responses and has an understanding of the deeper workings of the market.
Charles Faulkner
I think I’m fortunate as an actor in that I do seem to get opportunities to play roles that aren’t necessarily typical of what I’ve done before.
I’m dying to do a masala Bollywood film with typical song and dance. But having said that, my character in the film should have her own point of view. I won’t play a role who has no brains.
I grew up in England, went to a nice public school, then didn’t want to go to university, so I thought I would wander around. I did a season skiing, a bit of sailing, typical spoilt brat stuff. I ended up in the Caribbean. I was having a blast.
In Puerto Rico, we have a lot of traditions. We eat a very typical thing that’s called ‘pasteles’ – it’s almost like a tamale made of bananas, and we make it all together. Like, all the women of the family unite, and it’s a very big deal, a very big thing.
In a typical situation, it’s going to take pretty close to a year to get your location in, get your permits, and then get open.
Typical horror movies of the 1930s were often given a period setting in what looked like a kind of stylized 19th century… the sense of ‘elsewhen’, of distance, lent to many of these movies by their settings. They exist, as it were, in a 19th century of the mind.
You never stop learning in F1. It’s the typical thing that all drivers say, but it’s absolutely true. But also, apart from driving, you learn a bit about the political side of F1. People don’t realise how much there is outside the car.
I was not typical. Whatever typical or normal is, I was somehow separated and different.
It’s no secret that Cuba is a typical Latin American culture in that it has a fair amount of homophobia. Homosexuals have been notoriously persecuted under Fidel’s government.

I watch other wrestlers. I watch movies with Jackie Chan and Jet Li and Tony Jaa. Then there’s breakdancing and Capoeira – just anything I see that looks awesome that I think I could adapt in the ring. Just your typical Kung Fu, breakdancing, Capoeira moves.
It’s crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe – the creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor – loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.
I was a typical kid. I dug holes in the yard, threw rocks, had plum battles with the neighbours and used trash can lids as shields. I was always outside getting dirty.

I’ve had a somewhat typical experience in that many of the contemporary writers I was exposed to early on were white and often male.

Are we changing the idea of what beauty is? Let’s hope so. I’m not the typical Hollywood beauty. Let’s hope we’re looking at the insides of people a little more.

Cynthia Lummis
These days a typical netizen has dozens of online accounts. If you really want to be safe, you need to have a different password for each one, and each password needs to be incredibly complicated, with a mix of capital letters, symbols, and numbers. Who can keep all that stuff in their head?
The typical American citizen is the business man. The typical business man is a bad citizen; he is busy. If he is a ‘big business man’ and very busy, he does not neglect; he is busy with politics, oh, very busy and very businesslike.
The typical computer network isn’t like a house with windows, doors, and locks. It’s more like a gauze tent encircled by a band of drunk teenagers with lit matches.

As a regent, I hope to bring that important perspective of a typical family visitor in combination with my background as a Member of Congress and a proponent of the Smithsonian‘s efforts to reach all Americans.

Thus, one might argue that letting future generations bear the burden of population aging is appropriate, as they will likely be richer than we are even taking that burden into account.
I like stylish men although I’m someone who sees a man who’s not dressed right and think what I could do with him to make him cute. I’m a typical Jewish woman like that.
For older actresses, the story is still the same. They are either subservient wives taking care of their husbands – like that typical age-old character of a woman, who serves her husband a hot cup of tea as soon as he comes home; or they are mothers dependent on their sons.
Like the song “Stereo”, to me that’s like, kind of hip-hop in that slacker way. There’s some slackerisms mixed in with that stuff, but it wasn’t really conscious, I guess. When things would get more typical rock’n’roll that was my fallback to go to those kind of lyrics instead of the alternatives.
A thorough understanding of the typical mating continuations makes the most complicated sacrificial combinations leading up to them not only not difficult, but almost a matter of course
My grandmother was a typical farm-family mother. She would regularly prepare dinner for thirty people, and that meant something was always cooking in the kitchen. All of my grandmother‘s recipes went back to her grandmother.
My earliest influences would definitely be my father, just seeing him play in different bands and going to his shows and going to the rehearsals. You know what I’m saying, it was the typical story of a son looking up to his dad. So the years that my father was around, my father was my biggest influence.
My brain doesn’t work in a typical linear fashion: my brain is vibrant and fast and bright and on 10,000 all the time.
I like beauty to be a bit edgy, not typical. For me, the only rule is looking good.

The trumpeting of false claims that are beneficial to Biden and other Democrats while ignoring the achievements of Trump and Republicans is typical for many media corporations.

This is a typical liberal trick, by the way: Stack the deck so the whole thing fails leaving only one option, the government to go in to save the day.

It is typical for implicit status hierarchies of influence and esteem to emerge in interpersonal encounters, especially those that are goal oriented.
This is sort of typical Hillary Clinton: to do things that are not legal, to say that they are, and then try to cover them up.

I come from a typical family.
The deep learning techniques, while relatively easy to learn, are quite foreign to traditional engineering modalities. It takes a different mindset and a relaxation of the presumption of control. The practitioners are like magi, sequestered from the rest of a typical engineering process.
That’s typical Gabrielle, … Marc has a very clever plan for this pregnancy. It’s going to turn her world upside down
A typical day is full of anxiety and boredom. Flow experiences provide the flashes of intense living against this dull background.

‘SOS’ is a typical out-an-out comedy, where I play Sanjay Dutt’s brother and Ajay Devgn plays our long lost family enemy.
The typical response from people when I tell them I’m diabetic is, ‘Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.’ You know, I’m not. I’m a better athlete because of diabetes rather than despite it. I’m more aware of my training, my fitness and more aware of nutrition. I’m more proactive about my health.
Though the concept of the show revolves around a love layer, ‘Ek Duje Ke Vaaste’ has a very unique storyline. It is not a typical love story, and I am glad to be a part of this show.
Most children – I know I did when I was a kid – fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don’t tell their real parents about that – you don’t want to tell Mom and Dad. Kids lead a very private life. And I was a typical child, I think. I was a liar.
My band’s motto is ‘Yngwie or the highway.’ Do you think Leonardo Da Vinci allowed someone who came later to add to his paintings? It’s impossible. That’s the whole issue. I’m not a typical rock n’ roll guitarist nor a simple band member.
In a dream it‘s typical not to be rational.
I’m a very typical yoga-practicing musician; I do it when I can. I’m not hardcore about it. A lot of my lyrics talk about celebrating life and working through pain. I think that’s what yoga’s about, getting rid of, moving energy and letting it flow through you.
You’d think all of these “atypical” somethings would add up to a typical something
Strange how much simple wisdom there is to be found in the deformed head and unprepossessing carcase of your typical London cabbie.
A typical Irish dinner would be: cream flavored with lobster, cream with bits of veal in it, green peas and cream, cream cheese, cream flavored with strawberries.
The authentic Gullah dialect is actually very clipped, and so it would sound almost Jamaican and be very odd to an American audience’s ears. It’s not the typical Southern dialect that we’re used to. It has a much more percussive rhythm to it.
The move to tax Internet sales, clothed as a ‘fairness‘ issue, is the typical ‘wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing’ ploy so often used by governments unwilling to cut expenditures to match revenues.

Then I thought, boy, isn’t that just typical? You wait and wait and wait for something, and then when it happens, you feel sad.

I grew up as normally as any other kid. Between that small TV part I did at five and when I turned professional actor at 18, I stayed away from the limelight, so I was just like any typical kid who went to school.
The typical family of four with employer-based health insurance is not the same as the typical family of four. It’s better-off.

My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of the higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military.

I’m an extraordinarily anxious person. I’m a typical actor: narcissistic and paranoid and all them things.

A typical day for me is I’m writing when I’m not directing.
But just as haste and restlessness are typical of our present-day life, so change also takes place more rapidly than before. This applies to change in the relationships between nations as it does to change within an individual nation.
It’s a typical story: you think of something, it stays in the back of your head for a while, and then you finally do it.
This is typical Mourinho. Rashford is the biggest talent you have in England. He needs games. He should be playing every week. Instead, he buys Lukaku, he buys Sanchez.
Although I am a typical loner in my daily life, my awareness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty, and justice has prevented me from feelings of isolation.

I made a living for 10 years making very typical TV commercials. But I always wanted to reach beyond that and do stuff that people might relate to in the way they relate to my nonbranded content.
The typical eye sees the ten per cent bad of an idea and overlooks the ninety per cent good.
I’d like to be on ‘Graham Norton.’ Just because I used to do the audience warm-up for the ‘Graham Norton’ show, and I just think that would be a beautifully lovely, typical end to a narrative. I like a neat ending.
Most writers on the subject seem to agree that the typical working mathematician is a Platonist on weekdays and a formalist on Sundays.

On a typical day, walking down the street, there are a couple of photographers and then there get to be more and more. It’s the most awkward thing, because you have to pretend that they’re not there and it drives you nuts.
This sounds really craven on some level, but on some level, a lot of what I’m doing is trying to not do a typical TV show.
I think young people ought to seek that differential experience that is going to knock them off dead center. I was a typical American school boy. I happened to get straight A’s and be pretty good in sports. But I had no great vision of what I could be. And I never had any yearning.
I am the typical British aspiring working class. To be called ‘elite‘ by people who have inherited wealth and run hedge funds or worked in the City of London, I don’t criticise them for it, but the idea is frankly laughable. Just ridiculous.
The typical nature photograph shows a butterfly on a pretty flower. The conservation photograph shows the same thing, but with a bulldozer coming at it in the background.

I’m a typical 2016 TV viewer: I like short bursts of heavy watching.
My days all follow much the same pattern. They are structured and typical.

Steve [Jobs] and I spent months getting to know each other before I joined Apple. He had no exposure to marketing other than what he picked up on his own. This is sort of typical of Steve. When he knows something is going to be important, he tries to absorb as much as he possibly can.
I have a problem with Porsches. They’re wonderful cars, but I know I could never live with one. Somehow, the typical Porsche people-and I wish them no ill-are not, I feel, my kind of people. I don’t go around saying that Porsches are a pile of dung, but I do know that psychologically I couldn’t handle owning one.
I do more films than television, and in Mexico, they are more situational comedies – not the typical telenovela.

As a typical creative, I am all ego and insecurity!
My hypothesis is not so much that the court is the natural expression of popular justice, but rather that its historical function is to ensnare it, to control it and strangle it, by re-inscribing it within institutions which are typical of a state apparatus.
When I have a model who is quiet and steady and with whom I am acquainted, then I draw repeatedly ’til there is one drawing that is different from the rest, which does not look like an ordinary study, but more typical and with more feeling.
Re: Invent is different from the typical technology-industry conference in that it’s not a sales and marketing event, but about learning and education.
I just saw dialogue, in the audition, and had no backstory. I was like, “I’m just going to be myself because I have no idea who this is or where he’s coming from.” The typical questions that actors have to ask themselves were very hard. I had to imagine, a little bit, and just made it work.
I don’t have a typical filmmaker background. I didn’t grow up with a super eight camera or a video camera. I didn’t start cutting movies when I was four or five.
I’m a Mormon. I don’t do a lot of the off-the-field activities that athletes are known to do. And I guess I’ve created a world that is unlike the typical world of a professional athlete.

A label’s typical plan would be to put something out that’s safer and get fans, and then push buttons, but my idea is to push buttons first, scare off the people who are gonna be scared off, and then the right people will like you for who you really are, and stay with you.

I don’t think I’m your typical rock-hard ripped girl. But that’s what I love and embrace about myself. I feel good, but I always feel like I can be better. That’s what I thrive on.
To young people born under the weird planet of the SAT, intelligence was equated with agility, with raw acuity. It produced a certain sort of person of which I was a typical specimen: the mental contortionist, able to rise to almost every challenge placed before him, except the challenge of real self-knowledge.
Payment systems are critically important for overall market stability. On a typical business day, U.S. payment and settlement systems settle transactions valued at over $13 trillion.
I hear daily from Hoosier veterans who are forced to wait months on end for their disability claims to be processed. Unfortunately, this is typical.
Jackie Walorski

The typical output deal from a studio is 10 to 14 movies a year.
I’m a bookworm. I know with my physical appearance that I don’t look like the typical reader. I’m in Barnes & Noble all the time, and you can look at people that look like they are supposed to be in there. I am in there, pants sagging, hat backwards.
If a typical person can do a mental task with less than one second of thought, we can probably automate it using AI either now or in the near future.
The president we have today is a typical Washington politician that’s prone to hyperbole and decisiveness and false outrage. And I think it’s very sad – very sad to watch.

I don’t have any premonitions. I don’t have any supernatural powers. I just have a typical woman’s intuition, and I go with that.
I think a writer is a describer. She describes society and human nature as she sees it. She has to be both typical of that society and alone within it.
Even Catholic parishes today are not wanting for talent. But no serious singer or organist will get anywhere near the typical music program, at least if he wants to retain his self-respect.
I’m not ashamed that I need glasses for distance. I did not feel like I needed to have all of that hair, which was typical Star Jones, or the extra lashes or the heavy makeup.
If we don’t believe in Americans, who will? I do believe. I’ve seen it in the people of our very typical corner of the nation.

Michael Warner

It’s not a very big thing to say, ‘I made a mistake‘ on the war, and typical of Hillary Clinton that she can’t.
Typical tech-driven companies or hardware-driven companies always lay out the so-called roadmaps when it comes to making the new hardware. So, in other words, availability of certain technologies dictates when the company is intending to make the new hardware.
One of the big, most underlying messages for me is celebrating beauty that is not typical.
I always used to say when I was on television that I prefer to be on stage and when on stage I prefer to do television. Typical human condition.
Growing up, I wanted to be a musician. My mother, in typical Filipino-mom fashion, would always make me go up in front of people at parties to sing. Back then, as a kid, I was mortified. In retrospect, I see that doing that as a child helped me get over my fear of being in front of people.

The typical conditions for the birth of a bull market are here: you have a changed country, you have a deep fall in growth and everybody is perplexed by the rise of stocks.

I live in a house that’s incredibly old, and it’s typical that part of it is slightly in the ground. It’s very earthed. It’s almost like living in a hobbit house.
A typical wine writer was once described as someone with a typewriter who was looking for his name in print, a free lunch, and a way to write off his wine cellar. It’s a dated view. Wine writers now use computers.
Frank J. Prial
I think the typical way is that usually Holocaust survivors are known to be very quiet and full of anxiety, many of them don’t like life, don’t trust people. But my parents were children during the Holocaust. And my father was very optimistic.

I’ve typical singer’s jowls, a bit fat and soggy. If I was really vain, I would have a nip and tuck, but the knife isn’t an exciting prospect.

The Republican Party‘s typical position is to preemptively surrender whenever liberals start yelling ‘Oh that’s mean. You can’t use that word’: ‘Oh I did not realize that ‘The New York Times‘ made a finding that the term ‘anchor baby‘ is offensive. Henceforth I shall not use it.’
Rich colors are typical of a rich nature.
Typical mergers happen when there are two competitors coming together, and they reduce overhead.
I much prefer the company of the crew, the sort of ‘blue-collar working person.’ I much more have that sensibility than what the public perceives as what a typical actor would have.
Your typical business just measures the metrics that have to do with the profitability of the business one way or another. But you can have metrics that measure employee happiness and the morale.

In contemporary society [the typical lady] is an archaism, and can’t hardly understand herself unless she knows her own history.

I’m regarded outside New York University as a looney tunes leftie, self-hating Jewish communist; inside the university, I’m regarded as a typical, old-fashioned, white male liberal elitist. I like that. I’m on the edge of both; it makes me feel comfortable.

My mom was a house mom when we were growing up, and that’s all I knew about her. I had a really big disconnect with her because she only spoke Chinese. Her English isn’t good at all. Being a typical second-generation, you have the basic stuff, but I never had a deep conversation with her.

I felt like I haven‘t had the typical experience of a novelist whose book becomes a movie.
One of the chief things which my typical man has to learn is that the mental faculties are capable of a continuous hard activity; they do not tire like an arm or a leg. All they want is change – not rest, except in sleep.
