Suppose Quotations | Page 4

I suppose the stories are physically and metaphorically at the places that define what Canada is,

I suppose there's a child inside me who wants to get out, ... A little baldy child with a beard. Ha!

I suppose there is some people who won't let it rest. They are free to think along those lines, but we have put it to rest.

I suppose there is a little bit of a numbers game played in Hollywood, so of course the success of something like Wedding Crashers helps, but it's not something that you seek out. I didn't go into that movie hoping it would make a ton of money, but I did hope that it would hit an audience and people would really enjoy it.

I suppose the real cult things now are independent films made for a million pounds.

I suppose the part nearest me is Laura Reynolds in Tea and Sympathy. Of course playright Bob Anderson didn't know that, but he wrote Laura Reynolds and Laura Reynolds happened to be me. It was the coming together of a part and an actress - the same attitude to life, a certain shyness in life, a deep compassion for people who are being persecuted for anything.

I suppose the one very striking thing, you know, to a British observer is the fact that Labour is in power in every State in Australia.

I suppose the mindset for a band show is more that you overpower the audience. That sounds rather totalitarian, doesn't it?

I suppose the Ivey may be having some small effects, but we don't think it should be. Fundamentally we don't think there's been any real shift in the Canadian economy.

I suppose the first big shift in my life was when, at the age of 8, my father left my mother, leaving her alone with two daughters to bring up. That taught me the importance of women being financially independent. You never know what might happen.

I suppose the Church would be perfect only if it were run by perfect beings. God is perfect, and His doctrine is pure. But He works through us - His imperfect children - and imperfect people make mistakes.

I suppose the biggest thing I learned is that I'm in it for the right reasons. I love my job as much now as when I first began. I still feel fully invested in every audition, every job - large or small, every appearance, every meeting with every fan.

I suppose the best advice I ever got, frankly the advice that changed my life, came from my uncle who told me to go to drama school and study acting instead of taking a job, because he said the job would always be there.

I suppose that's democracy really. But everybody with a laptop thinks they're a journalist these days. That's a problem.

I suppose that's a good question. I don't know. Would there be a conflict of interest there because he was in Washington? I really haven't given that a whole lot of thought.

I suppose that's a downside but Liverpool wanted to defend the title, and if that has to be the case then so be it.

I suppose that... it's really hard to tell... I mean, certainly the brightness, the dash, the excitement, the sort of self-confidence of the hand on the canvas-all that was exciting. It's hard to say how it influenced my poetry.

I suppose that, for most of us, the fascination of conjoined twins is that such people can serve as symbols.

I suppose that few people ever forget the first sight of a palm-tree of any species. I vividly remember seeing one for the first time at Malaga, but the coco-palm groves of the Pacific have a strangeness and witchery of their own.

I suppose Swedenborg might have been pleased to have a room named after him, a wall-papered room with two chairs and two doors and a simple painting of a landscape containing a tiger and a serpent and a few birds.

I suppose such statements would not be accepted, ... seems to indicate that the second stage of negotiations has already begun.

I suppose Steven Bradbury is the only one left standing. You would have to assume he'll get it.

I suppose some people will be offended by it, but in division races, every so often, you'll have an aberration. There's no solution. What are you going to do, deny the existence of this division?

It didn't seem anybody was on their game. So coming in I was really thinking positive about that because I knew that a lot of people had sort of opened the door, ... It's my first major international meet. I suppose you can chalk it up to experience, but it's just not what I wanted to do. My expectations were a lot higher.

We'll be a little more familiar with it than some of the other teams. Hopefully, that'll help out. We've been there the last couple years. A few years ago, we didn't win it. If we have any kind of edge, I suppose that would be it, but it's still a matter of whoever plays the best and has the best players will win it.

The advert went along the lines of rather than the promotion company spending $20,000 on advertising computer magazines, they were selling massively reduced original program copies at a fraction of the price you would normally pay. I thought the advert was pretty genuine at the time. I suppose all the other losers thought the same too, eh?

The apple which tempts my characters is the one that will remove the knowledge of good and evil. I suppose it's something of a reversal of the conventional Eden story: Freedom of thought is perhaps the greatest good, and needs to be fought for and sacrificed for.

I was on record before I did 'The Hobbit,' saying I don't care at all about 3D. And I suppose I should now say I care a lot about 3D. I've always loved 3D, I think everything should be 3D, and I think it's just a shame 'The Godfather' wasn't in 3D.

I was never very good at being an unemployed actor. I always thought that I should have been doing something pro-active. I was never good at doing juvenile leads. I suppose it's because I have this big sarcastic head on me.

Who knew we had all this O.C.D. in the world? Well actually, I suppose it's pretty obvious. It explains Sudoku, doesn't it?

Whether a person feels positive or not is kind of a comment on their personality and of no great interest. You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.

Well, I suppose you could do worse. That's a pretty heavy group with that many victories.

Well, I suppose that what they're trying to do is to capture press attention, obviously, and they've succeeded.

Well, I suppose that, in a sense, every screen role is a favourite with me.

Well, I suppose most of the places I've been we've tried to balance out what we're doing. I've always been blessed with good runners. Michael Anderson (Denver Broncos) had a pretty good game (Monday night) against the Chiefs. He was one of my guys.

Well, I suppose I've got some game left. That's about it. I can't go much further than that.

Well, I suppose I've got some game left. ... I'm just elated I made the cut.

Well, I suppose I can give your career a bit of a leg-up.

You know, at that WAMM rally the week before last, I was sitting up there and thinking, suppose some right-wing nut gets in and throws a bomb? Well, what the hell, I'd rather die for a cause then die for nothing. It didn't bother me at all. I can't frighten myself anymore.

When I first started acting, and we would all sit down and talk about Shakespeare and how great it was, I thought well, I suppose it is.

You do know what's coming up when you're translating. I suppose the concentration, then, is on finding a formulation which is speakable and in character - and economical as well, actually.

We produced a good all-round performance and I suppose the only slight concern was that the top order batsmen could have done better,

We did the triple, but in all honesty, I suppose we're supposed to display some gratitude. We are grateful because, you know, voted for by the people and all that, we're very happy about that but who else was going to be the best British band at the moment, you know?

We're not going in there deliberately looking for ways to unravel the minority Parliament. We're going in there to be constructive and we'll support the legislation that we support and will seek amendments on others and so on. But in terms of confidence issues that come up, I suppose it depends what it is. Jack made it very clear that if they do reintroduce corporate tax cuts, we will not be supporting that. We have never supported that. We'll obviously see what else develops,

Yeah, I'm the Brit who isn't Lewis Hamilton that woke up and realised he was good. I got that tag because I was young, flying around in jets and driving fast cars. I always took my driving seriously, but I suppose I enjoyed life... But I'm not a playboy.

We're average and we're not super ready but we had enough practice that we should be ready. For the most part we will compete well and we should be Ok. We're competing against some major programs and if we finish in the middle of the road, I'll be content with that. If we competed as well as we could, I'll be happy, and even if we do win the meet and the kids didn't do what they were suppose to do, then I'll be disappointed.

Today we are less than a week away from the deadline for filing our response, so I suppose it is now official and they are indeed riding roughshod over our defense rights.

We are not afraid of elections but we are not creating conditions for elections either, ... We are not pining for elections. Suppose people give the same kind of fractured verdict we will be back in the same situation.

Walking away from something means believing for something more. And if I want something more, I must believe it's out there (or in here). Would God give me a desire that he could not fill? Or am I to suppose another source?

We were very poor and my family lost everything during the war - our home and our identity. But I'm a believer in luck and think the social conditions you're born into provide the opportunity for you to prove your luck. And I suppose I've been lucky.

We're all born storytellers. It's part of the species. But, more specifically, I suppose a particular combination of sensitivity and trauma made me a writer: an essential disquiet with reality, which required exploration through portrayal.

When I was younger, I suppose I was interested in checking out as much about writing as I could: bad, weird, irritating, even things not-to-my-taste. Now I am less open. I will decide after a few pages if I want to stay in the world of the book, and if I don't, I put it down. I have less time left.

We had a certain kind of really big prestige among, I suppose not just intellectual folk, but a sort of nice middle class intelligent folk of a very urban nature.

There is no reason to suppose that the state of the claimants' marriage would be regarded to have any relevance to the majority of the sponsorship agreements relied on by the defendant since they spring from David Beckham's prowess as a footballer,

There are a number of players I suppose in the side that have got reasonable experience, having been around international cricket for quite some time.

With Storytelling, at least, it's explicit: this is what the censors say American citizens, no matter what age, are not permitted to see, even though it can be seen by other people all over the world. I suppose you could call it a political statement.

The reason they were 16 stories up is because that height is suppose to be a deterrent. If you get out that window, you face a 187-foot drop.

Both teams played their hearts out. That's the way a rivalry is suppose to be played. It was a total team effort and one of the most exciting I've ever coached in.

We've had science fiction novels where China is dominant; we've had novels where India is dominant, and I suppose it's all about getting away from that cliched old tired idea that the future belongs to the West.

We all make our contributions to the world and I suppose mine will not be to the literary treasures of the western civilization, ... But I do hope to contribute in my own way, and one of those ways is to bring closer the day when every child and every American learns to read.

We knew how everyone was saying we weren't suppose to win this game. It feels great to prove all the people wrong.

You have to look at the program in the big picture. You can't just look at it in relation to the wins and losses. I mean, I suppose I could've made a change after the Duke game, but I didn't really see that as being a viable option. You just can't go and make an impulsive decision after the second game of the season.

Water has an endless horizon; there is no limitation when you look out into the water. There's nothing to interfere with the mind's eye projecting itself as far as it can possibly imagine. I suppose it's the same way people in the Midwest feel about watching amber waves of grain or endless rows of cornfields. There is something exhilarating about it.

We tend to read each other's books in sizeable chunks as they are written. I don't know that you could say we are ruthless with each other - in fact, I suppose we are very kind. There are ways to make suggestions which are not destructive.

You have to realize that when I started to work on 'Aladdin', Disney Theatrical wasn't in existence. I suppose I had always hoped that 'Aladdin' would be somewhere on the runway.

We live in a fast-paced culture where we're asked to make snap decisions all day long, so I suppose cash-point donations feed into the immediacy of our life experience. So it's a great idea. But I think it needs careful handling.

Boswell: "Pray, Sir, do you not suppose that there are fifty women in the world, with any one of whom a man may be as happy, as with any one woman in particular?" Johnson: "Ay, Sir, fifty thousand

Every generation's got to have somewhere to play. But of course I suppose the punk thing was just too ugly, and too aggressive, and too reactionary.

At that time I was completely engrossed in concrete poetry, and I suppose I didn't approve of people writing poetry that was not concrete.

At the end of the day, the bulk of us are with the president and with the leadership, but that's because we don't have any other place to go. We suppose they're doing the best they can, but we're all very unhappy.

Essentially, I spent most of my childhood with my mother and my older sister, and I suppose I had rather a romantic vision of how things might be if there were men around; I saw myself in a country house with six children and a garden. That has never been achieved - and I still regret it.

Even if somebody in your family is successful, it doesn't change anything. On the contrary, I suppose people expect more of you in certain ways.

Every time there's been a script written, I've just about done it. I suppose I'm allowed one that I don't get every now and then.

Everything we do really stems from being record collectors rather than musicians. I suppose that's where we're basically different from most bands. When we started, we were fairly heavily inspired by hip-hop from a production perspective because of the way a song is constructed with breaks. That's something people weren't really doing with pop tunes at the time, and it seemed like an obvious way of making music without having to learn how to play an instrument, which had always been my dream.

There's never been a game plan, and I suppose I've had an uneasy relationship with my ambition. Someone who had been in my year at drama school once said to me that I was terrifyingly ambitious back then. Which was not at all what I felt at the time - I felt paralysed with shyness, though that evaporated.

There's not too much of a difference. Outdoor spikes add something to your jump, so I suppose you never know what's going to happen.

The title is the equivalent of when you become a doctor after years of medical school training... I suppose after years of chewing up the furniture and scenery on stage and in films I get to Sir for being a thespian.

Is it a heightened sense of importance because we're 1-4 as opposed to 4-1? I suppose so. But having said that, we prepare hard for every single game. Certainly we'll prepare very, very hard for this one.

The way I write is, I listen to things in my head, and then I copy them down. I memorize conversations and things like that; I seem to be able to do that pretty well. I suppose in that respect there's some improvisation, although I work over the stuff after I've got it down on paper.

I've never really been serious about my villainy. I don't have a master plan. I suppose my philosophy is: Every villain has a mother. For every cold-blooded killer on your screen, there's a little old lady somewhere who calls him 'sonny.'

I've played picnic stuff. I suppose I can get up to league standards with a little practice.

These were women who did not make a habit of taking their clothes off in public before they began performing at the Windmill. I suppose we could view all of this as politically incorrect, but the truth is that what happened at the Windmill brought many people together as a means of escaping the tragedy that was surrounding them.

The spirit of the four hobbits in 'Lord of the Rings,' I suppose I miss that.

Rapids and Roseau have had a long-standing rivalry. Sometimes you like to see the two northern schools not playing (each other in the first round), but I suppose the southern schools could say that, too.

Personally, I am very, very sorry we have come to this. I suppose it is another sign of the times.

People say he's an intimidating guy and stuff like that. I suppose he is, but it's his talent that makes him intimidating more than anything else.

People's reactions can be surprising but, if you have overwhelming news, I suppose the only thing you can do is just look, because you're stunned.

a dangerous illusion to suppose that another retreat by the civilized world would satisfy the appetite of the terrorists and get them to leave us alone.

specially in males. I suppose that in the hunting stage it was more easily gratified than it has been since. The chase was exciting, war was exciting, courtship was exciting. A savage would manage to commit adultery with a woman while her husband is

So the Proclamation of Emancipation, has come at last, or rather its forerunner. I suppose you are all very much excited about it. For my part, I can't see what practical good it can do now. Wherever our army has been there remain no slaves, and the Proclamation will not free them where we don't go.

An embarrassed Catholic... goes to Mass, to be sure. But an onlooker might suppose that he was seeing a man awaiting the dentist's drill. Great gloom emanating from the facial expression, heavy winter jacket all bunched up, mouth clamped firmly shut during anything as stupid as singing, and a beeline for the door at the instant of dismissal.

Are these games important? Yes. Are these heightened because we're 1-4? I suppose so.

As a fair skinned blonde, I disappeared into the background. I've always been a loner, so I suppose dyeing my hair red was a way to say, 'I'm here, I exist, I'm a human being and you can't just push me aside.'

They seem to have these personalities that are very generic and so I can't really relate to them. I suppose I can't really relate to it on a personal level at all, because you never really understand where the personal comes into what they do.

They don't really have the right to do that, ... In a nutshell, no one had ever refused their demand to hire a consultant. And so I suppose we insulted them, and their response was, 'OK, if you're not going to do what we tell you to do, we're going to shut you down.'

They had a good game plan. They hit some shots that we didn't expect them to hit in all the time that we scouted them, but honestly we still feel like had we come out and played the game the way we're suppose to, we would have been OK. We came out sort of sleepwalking in the first half and it showed. We allowed them to get that good advantage and get all that confidence. That's the lesson we learn for the future.

They are rushing, ... I suppose because they are worried about the facts getting out, they are worried about this budget being examined.

They're loaded for bear. They're all expecting tough negotiations. They talk peace, but they don't show the slightest readiness for compromise. I suppose you could say that's to be expected on the eve of talks like this, but we're really hunkering down.

There's a risk I suppose that Pacific National is broken up and that's a route that seems inevitable,

There's a risk I suppose that Pacific National is broken up, and that's a route that seems inevitable.
