Dating, like almost every other male-female interaction in present-day society, is based on outmoded and unequal social roles and expectations.
I don't like to be me. I'm not so comfortable being me on screen because then I'd be a presenter. I'm not Jimmy Fallon.
Trudeau, like President Barack Obama, is a champion of change.
President Reagan achieved such successes because when you sat in a room with him, there could be over 1,000 people in the room, yet you felt like there was only the two of you, and his wonderful wit would put you at ease. That was a tremendous gift.
You don't have to be an heiress to look like one, if you act like one then everyone will just presume you are one.
All writing is presumption, of course, since no one knows what it is like to be another human being.
I'm a musician. I'm not, like, a personality. I've never really pretended to perform that kind of function.
I've spent a lot of my career playing heroes, like Jared in 'The Pretender,' but playing part of a dysfunctional family is more interesting.
I've done lots of songs for film soundtracks and things like that - stuff I'm not ashamed of, but that doesn't represent my legacy with the Pretenders.
A liberal pretending to be a conservative? That's like a straight person pretending to be gay to get greater acceptance.
I wouldn't say I'm a feminist, but I don't like girls pretending to be stupid because it's easier.
I made some games, but I'm pretending like I didn't because they all turned out weird.
The telecom industry pretends like it's not getting paid.
Borrowing something from one art form and relocating it in another always has a whiff of pretension about it, like in books if, instead of 'Chapter One,' you have 'First Movement.'
I actually want to write a treatise in defence of pretension. I think the word 'pretension' has become like the word 'ironic' - just this catch-all term to distance people from interesting experiences and cultural engagement and possible embarrassment.
Any image I have, it's just what I do, but it comes off as being very pretentious. When you're a bit in the public astigmatism, anything you do seems like you did it so somebody would see you do it, like showing up at the right parties.
I like tight bodies and pretty faces. You bring in Methuselah, if she's got a tight body and a pretty face, that's all right, too.
I don't have to be a pretty face. I've done that, but now it's important and liberating to be on the other side of the lens. I don't like to be the center of attention anymore.
I felt like people only knew me as a singer who dated pretty girls.
I like to cook as much as I love to eat, and I will eat pretty much anything if it's prepared well!
