A Quote by Kirsten Gillibrand

A lot of members of Congress are isolated. They tend to be affluent. They tend to have a lot of people doing things for them. So sometimes they don't understand what their constituents are feeling.

Tom Green

What I find with my fellow female members of Congress is that we tend to work very hard. While we're very focused, we can also multitask a lot better.

Shelley Moore Capito

My books tend to have a lot of questions in them, and they tend to avoid black and white, for lack of a better metaphor.

Rebecca Stead

A couple of things are missing from Indigenous affairs. We tend to go and process, we tend to spend a lot of money for very limited outcomes, and we have got to change that.

Yitzhak Rabin

I tend to absorb a lot of what other people are feeling.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck

I just feel like we as a human race tend to fear that which we don't understand. It's cause for a lot of bad things and bad behavior to exist on the planet. Artists have a way of touching people and changing minds in a way that sometimes other mediums don't.

Billy Porter

I don't actually tend to do a lot of research when I'm writing. I do know because I think a lot of what I find you want to do with research is just confirming things you want to do. If the research contradicts what you want to do, you tend to go ahead and do it anyway.

Christopher Nolan

I'm lucky enough that people tend to agree a lot with what I say. But really if anyone in the band has a really strong feeling, it carries a lot of weight.

If we write our laws and design them around the most privileged members of society, i.e., billionaire football team owner, then we forget about the people who don't have the same resources to make an appeal, to fight a wrongful accusation. Those tend to be members of the LGBT community and people of color because those are the people who tend to engage in the work of reappropriation to subvert discrimination. And yet those are the same ones being denied, based on their own identities.

Simon Tam

I tend to use a lot of movement in both camera and characters, and I also tend to give characters a lot to physically do.

Obviously no one wants to give members of Congress a lot of money, because they barely do anything, and many of them are terrible, but a Congress that is made up of rich-but-not-super-rich people is going to be more corruptible than a Congress of really rich people.

Alex Pareene

Ted Lieu

People tend to eat through the cello. They tend to take out the things that make it beautifully cello-y sometimes.

Julia Kent

Most child welfare agencies tend to embrace secrecy because the people who lead them tend to be mediocre and don't want you to see how poor a job they are doing.

Richard Wexler

On the pitch we tend to forget the things that happen off the field. I try to focus a lot on what I'm doing.

Willian

It's easy to hurl abuse at those awards ceremonies like the Oscars and all that, which we tend to do. We tend to vent our anger at things which we feel are unjust or undeserving. But when you're the recipient, it makes it a lot different.
