I know my own deficiencies, one of which is that I had lived away from America for such a long time. It's called expatriate.
France has lived a long time - eight or nine centuries - and yet art in France, too, was derivative up until the 19th Century.
Working on a film, the setup for an action sequence takes a long time, and we need to shoot the scene many times to get different angles.
I've been very sensitive for a long time to the repeated pattern, during economic hard times or after a war, of the United States' essentially unilaterally disarming.
I was very disenchanted in the industry for a long time before I met GaGa. Everyone wanted a 'Single Ladies' for their artist, or a Puffy move.
I've been talking about unifying the division for a long time.
I had a pretty public divorce. They're not easy - divorces - and it took me a long time to really get through.

I've been a total Tom Waits dork for a long, long time.
Google started out when the dot-com boom was happening. It grew under the radar of big companies that were competing in but basically ignoring search. Then they were able to really invest during the bust for a long time.
I've dreamt of being in a movie musical for a long time. For some reason I never even thought 'Les Mis' would be possible.
I got into dub a long time ago. I was into dub before I even had any interest in reggae or Jamaican songs, Bob Marley, or any of those established artists. I just thought it was such an unusual sound.
It's interesting that the wondrous 'Hamilton,' which I could not be more ecstatic about, has taken a long time to perfect to bring it to Broadway. And it wouldn't have been possible if it was developed in the commercial theatre from the get-go.
I am a big 'Ellen' fan. I have been one for quite a long time now. I used to do the local news talk shows with her in San Francisco, when we were both still kids.
I actually did try to emigrate to Australia a long time ago.
The long time to come when I shall not exist has more effect on me than this short present time, which nevertheless seems endless.
Entrepreneurship is enduring pain for a long time without relinquishing.
I like movies that don't fit in a category. Like, 'Get Out' - that was one of my favorite movies in a long time, and what is that?
Federal spending is like a massive ship that takes a very long time to turn.
