The only way to describe my involvement in ‘Planes’ is that it’s an absolute dream come true for me. Getting to be a bad guy in any project is fun, let alone being a Disney villain. I can’t imagine anything getting better than that!
Roger Craig Smith
The average religious person has their beliefs, but they’re not trying to get people fired who don’t have their beliefs. But zealots do do that. It’s not enough for them to believe it; they can’t tolerate other people who don’t believe what they believe, and they have this absolute certainty that they’re right.
The idea of eternity lives in all of us. We thirst to live in a belief which raises our small personality to a higher coherence – a coherence which is human and yet superhuman, absolute and yet steadily growing and developing, ideal and yet real.
The quest of the absolute leads into the four-dimension

The quest of the absolute leads into the four-dimensional world.

When distant and unfamiliar and complex things are comm

When distant and unfamiliar and complex things are communicated to great masses of people, the truth suffers a considerable and often a radical distortion. The complex is made over into the simple, the hypothetical into the dogmatic, and the relative into an absolute.
The histories which we have of the great tragedy give no idea of the general wretchedness, the squalid misery, which entered into every individual life in the region given up to the war. Where the armies camped the destruction was absolute.

Snow is like a manic pixie dream girl: fun and whimsical when you encounter it only through the barrier of a movie screen – but absolute misery to have to put up with in real life.

Pat Benatar
I think F1, ultimately, is man and machine at its absolute limit. It is modern day chariot racing.

I prefer to like the people I invest in, but it's not a

It was an absolute pleasure just to be able to tell my grandkids, ‘Yep. I Superman-punched Vince McMahon right in the face twice.’ You can put that on my mantle.

Edward Carey

I’m a policeman on television but an absolute wuss in real life.
Gwilym Lee

Nothing has been given to Deontay Wilder. So with that being said, nothing is going to be taken from me. So I must stay focused. I must. I must. It is an absolute must to stay focused.

Robert Mankoff
There is no such thing as absolute proof. There is only evidence.

Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler might be the most talented man I’ve ever worked with. He comes in, he’s cool as a cucumber, and then all of a sudden, as soon as the camera comes on, it was a dream.

I think it is interesting to think about the absolute animal relish young people have for rhythm and rhyme.

I believe the path to a long career is to keep the audience guessing. Daniel Day Lewis is my absolute hero from that point of view. I literally will pay to see anything he does because I know it’s going to be something different than I have already seen.
I think the absolute worst job I ever had – not because it was a terrible job, just because I was just so bad at it – was when I worked at a scenic factory in Chicago.
What I would say is that in its first iteration, Extinction Rebellion is really about democracy, by calling in for these new democratic forms for people to have their power. And frankly, in many countries of the world, democracy is in just absolute shambles.
I don’t think that there is absolute freedom of the press. We operate under laws – against libel, for instance. The idea that there is some absolute press freedom is kind of a myth.
The absolute truth is that there is no power in celebrity.

Tobey Maguire was the worst tipper, the best player, and the absolute worst loser.

Death is an absolute mystery. We are all vulnerable to it, it’s what makes life interesting and suspenseful.
There were certain things that grabbed my interest, such as photosynthesis, such as us living off plants and plants living off us.

If I’m doing a job, I’ll give it 100%, and that job gets my absolute focus, and everything else goes to the side. Then, that job is finished, I’ll concentrate on the next job.

My absolute dream would be to play for Manchester United and help them reach the goals they have.

Andrew Denton
Life is absolutely horrific, leading up to absolute horror.
I tend to be more arrogant on stage. Far more ignorant. I sometimes say what I think and sometimes say the opposite of what I think and the lines get blurred, but I can only hope that some kind of absolute power transcends.
For me, no ideological or political conviction would justify the sacrifice of a human life. For me, the value of life is absolute, with no concessions. It’s not negotiable.

I get paid a bunch of money to do this, and so there’s a responsibility to my teammates, every single day, to show up and be the absolute best you can be.
In early Islam, it was an absolute tenet that the prophet was not to be worshipped. The prophet was a messenger. And one of the things that’s happened in Islam is this cult of the prophet, which to my view is counter to the original tradition.
I think it’s absolutely undeniable that nobody really advocates for complete total speech without any consequence or absolute freedom of expression. There’s a line that most of us agree on somewhere.

I was a friend during school time, but not much after that. By the time I got to BYU, I was a social mess, an absolute misfit. There is not a shyer, more pathetic kid who stepped on that BYU campus than me.

When a law is in its nature a contract, when absolute rights have vested under that contract, a repeal of the law cannot divest those rights. The people can act only by their agents and, within the powers conferred upon them, their acts must be considered as the acts of the people.

I’m quite interested in the absolute roots of narrative, why we tell stories at all: where the monsters come from.

The power of storytelling – of elevating the voices and examples of incredible leaders who have overcome odd after odd – remains absolute.
Nothing is absolute in security.
Privacy is a right, but as in any democratic society, it is not an absolute right.
When I left ‘Downton Abbey,’ it hadn’t yet taken off and become the phenomenon that it is, to this day. That all happened after I left. But, it was fabulous to be a part of it and to be a part of the cast. We had an absolute ball!
McConnell is the most talented majority leader in a generation. He has complete control of his caucus and understands and exploits their weaknesses, ambitions, and desires. In an impeachment trial where his members knew Trump’s guilt was absolute and unequivocal, he bribed and browbeat them into submission.
Part of science is the questioning of authority, absolute freedom of ideology. The Soviets did some very good science, but when science ran into ideology, it had trouble. Science flourishes best in a democracy.
George M. Whitesides
I think stimulus money is an absolute mistake.

Paul Tonko
We’re taking on Social Security as a property rights issue. We figure that every single American has an absolute property right interest in the fruits of his or her own labor. What I work for should be my property.
Malcolm Wallop
I think all the roles I’ve done have been very passionate people who go to absolute extremes to make their points.
I love to get a massage but I’m quite a baby with it. I don’t like them too hard or anyone walking on me or anything. When it’s good, it’s the best thing ever. When it’s bad, it’s an hour of absolute agony.

Skittles are my absolute favourite.
Leigh Lezark

I don’t think I have spiritual beliefs in the structured sense – but I believe in the absolute necessity of spirit and a healthy spiritual life. It grew inside me by itself, which is surely the very nature of spirit, and instinctively I protected and nourished it. I also absorbed spirituality by osmosis.
I change so many houses and places where I live; I change them like I change socks. I don’t have this absolute, kind of, how you say, attachment.

If you interrupt somebody too early, if you miss it and don’t interrupt at all – that’s the difference between a good interview and a bad interview. It’s about the absolute moment.

Etel Adnan

It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life’s parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
The absolute worst part of my job is having to cut people. I have to cut people after every show, that’s just how it goes. But I don’t judge you on wins and losses. What I do care about is a great fight.
Security is the absolute precondition for sustainable recovery from conflict; without it, people cannot rebuild their country or return to school or work.

Comedy to the Senate? Well, there certainly hasn’t been a satirist or a political satirist who’s done that. So, that really was uncharted territory during the campaign. But I think it’s a good thing. Some people thought that it was an odd career arc, but to me it made absolute sense.
There’s nothing I hate more than someone who speaks in the draft room with absolute conviction, but they have nothing to back it up.
For Arkansas, I think the sky is the limit, but I think we are going to have to fight the urge to avoid risks. We need to look first at where we are as a state. I think, as a state, we have made progress over the years, but there are two kinds of progress: absolute progress and relative progress.
I’m an absolute daddy‘s girl.
What N.Y.C. does attract, year in and year out, is the very best general talent from around the world. The absolute smartest, neurons-just-fire-faster, can-bend-spoons-with-their-mind talent.
Working with Scorsese was an absolute dream, and one of my favourite ever jobs was ‘Beowulf’ because it was just pure acting. Your imagination explodes as you try to imagine you’re fighting a dragon or whatever.

Rene Burri

One of President Biden’s first moves was to signal to the world that America’s borders are open. The result? Absolute chaos.
The absolute worst thing that you ever can do, in my opinion, in bringing science to the general public, is be condescending or judgmental. It is so opposite to the way science needs to be brought forth.

Not to get mushy, but I realized after talking to my parents what absolute guts they must have had to let their teenage daughter be in a rock band, play in bars, do all of that.

The right of absolute and irresponsible dominion is the right of property, and the right of property is the right of absolute, irresponsible dominion. The two are identical; the one necessarily implying the other.

If somebody’s doing something, and you’re laughing, and at the same time you’re so embarrassed for them, it’s my absolute kind of favorite type of laugh.
You could argue that Barack Obama faced in ’08 a situation as bad as any president since the Great Depression. What Obama inherited from the Bush administration, we all remember, was just an absolute global catastrophe.

Any government, that is its own judge of, and determines authoritatively for the people, what are its own powers over the people, is an absolute government of course. It has all the powers that it chooses to exercise. There is no other or at least no more accurate definition of a despotism than this.
Preparing your tactical formation is essential. Each player needs to know where he has to be, and that is why there needs to be mutual understanding: because you need absolute discipline.
I have stage fright every single concert I’ve ever done. I have at least four or five minutes of it. It’s absolute living hell.
In seeking absolute truth we aim at the unattainable and must be content with broken portions.

Every experience is a paradox in that it means to be absolute, and yet is relative; in that it somehow always goes beyond itself and yet never escapes itself.
‘Satra Ko Shaadi Hai’ is a very sweet film. It was the first film that I shot. I play a shy small town boy in it, which is an absolute contrast to what I played in ‘Sanam Teri Kasam.’
Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.
The unreliable narrator is an odd concept. The way I see it, we’re all unreliable narrators of our lives who usually have absolute trust in our self-told stories. Any truth is, after all, just a matter of perspective.
I’m a massive fan of Brit Art in general and Damien Hirst in particular. I think he’s an absolute genius and should be celebrated in every way.

Love is the absolute basis of my career.
You know, I was such a big Beatles fan, and when I’d buy a new album I’d invariably hate it the first time I heard it ’cause it was a mixture of absolute joy and absolute frustration. I couldn’t grasp what they’d done, and I’d hate myself for that.
Andy Partridge
Democracy is extremely complex; it is extremely concrete. It’s about constantly choosing, finding, developing practical options within the common good. Constantly searching for how to express in a practical way the common good, not in some grand way, some grand and absolute way, but in a very comfortable way.
Robert Redford was an absolute blast to work with - a v

Robert Redford was an absolute blast to work with – a very smart, very charismatic man.

It was been an absolute joy being in ‘The Vagina Monologues‘ for so many years. I think the play is truly special.

Jay Carney
Let me tell you, it is an absolute lie that I told a probe panel that Meiyappan was only a cricket enthusiast. All I said is he had nothing to do with the team’s on-field cricketing decisions. I can’t even pronounce the word ‘enthusiast.’
The model a lot of companies use is a very pyramidal model which sort of designates that all creativity, all wisdom flows from the top. We think that’s the absolute wrong model.

Jeremy Jordan
Society is now less convinced of the absolute accuracy of the criminal justice system.
Tom Price
I don’t blame anyone but myself for the kind of parts I got. To blame external circumstances is absolute folly.

Soldiers, when committed to a task, can’t compromise. It’s unrelenting devotion to the standards of duty and courage, absolute loyalty to others, not letting the task go until it’s been done.
John Keegan
In some ways, my most comfortable feeling has been that of being an outsider coming in, but over the years I’ve tired of that and I’m ready to feel at home. That’s what music gives me: a feeling of absolute home.
Ford is such an answered prayer and an absolute blessing.
Virginia Williams

I still have a stammer that I can control by not opening a sentence with a hard consonant, or by concentrating for a moment, breathing softly down. Growing up, the ‘Our Father‘ was lovely, made for me, the ‘Hail Mary‘ was gorgeous, and ‘Glory Be to the Father’ was an absolute nightmare.
I’m not famous, which generally is an absolute plus point, but if you’re on TV, or someone knows who you are, it can be quite helpful to a certain charity or certain cause.

When you’re starting a company, almost anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and it will probably look like and feel like you made the absolute wrong decision to start the company. If you’re not absolutely determined to solve a problem or see something through, it might not make sense to keep going.
We’re taught Lord Acton’s axiom: all power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I believed that when I started these books, but I don’t believe it’s always true any more. Power doesn’t always corrupt. Power can cleanse. What I believe is always true about power is that power always reveals.
The fact that we walked away from the Middle East, as distasteful as it was for us to stay involved and prevent wars, based on our long involvement there, we have helped to create and provide a foundation. Obviously for ISIS and also for the absolute barbarianism and human catastrophe that Assad impacted on his people.
I grew up in a wood cabin on Puget Sound in Manchester, Wash. My family taught me to appreciate the arts and the outdoors, and I still yearn for the absolute silence I experienced there when I was young.

We want you always to feel confident shopping at Neiman

We want you always to feel confident shopping at Neiman Marcus, and your trust in us is our absolute priority.
My personal view is that such total planning by the state is an absolute good and not simply a relative good… I do not myself think of the attitude I take as deriving from Marx – though this undoubtedly will be suggested – but from Fichte and Hegel.
John Grierson
I never set out to beat the world. I just set out to do my absolute best.
Al Oerter
Science makes no pretension to eternal truth or absolute truth.
E. T. Bell
In a sense, the god we trust politically is a slightly different god than the one we bring into the fray when we enter a rock concert. One of the things I can say with absolute conviction is that I worship that god.
One decision I made in writing ‘Henry and Clara’ was that I would keep Lincoln‘s appearances and any dialogue by him to an absolute minimum, because I think readers don’t quite believe it when novelists have Lincoln walking around and saying things. They just know they’re in the presence of stage machinery.
Makeup is where my career is going, but I would love to also indulge in music. It’s still one of my absolute favorite things in the world.
My financial service business is the absolute best thing I have done to empower the poor. I run many charities and fight many political causes, but my financial service company is the greatest gift I’ve given.

I just have to stay away from craft services. Having that routine allows me to keep absolute focus on the physical shape I want to be in. It’s also important to allow yourself to have treats every once in awhile, so I indulge in dark chocolate. It’s just a balance, for the most part!
A doctor, a judge, or a piece of paper shouldn’t have the power to tell someone who he or she is. We should all have the absolute and inalienable right to define ourselves, in our own terms and in our own languages, and to be able to express our identity and perspectives without fear of consequences and retribution.
Chelsea Manning
The Universe is the periodical manifestation of this unknown Absolute Essence.
