Life is all getting used to what you're not used to.
We are getting used to levels of violence, we are getting used to seeing these horrific things going on all the time. I think it's tough. It's rough.
Solitude is used to teach us how to live with other people. Rage is used to show us the infinite value of peace. Boredom is used to underline the importance of adventure & spontaneity. Silence is used to teach us to use words responsibly. Tiredness is used so that we can understand the value of waking up. Illness is used to underline the blessing of good health. Fire is used to teach us about water. Earth is used so that we can understand the value of air. Death is used to show us the importance of life.
I have to say that it was a very strange experience when, later in life, I represented Byron Scott and was negotiating with West - whose picture I used to have over my bed! That took some getting used to.
I used to always be putting my hat on children being photographed and then getting home and discovering I was riddled with lice. That used to happen very, very regularly. I used to get headlice all the time.
I spent my life behind bars, and what people don't know is getting out of prison is really nerve-racking - you're not used to society; you're not used to the world going by so fast - so to step on that lot was quite overwhelming.
I used to live in a hostel with Bihari roommates. They used to be very excited about getting their pictures clicked, and since there weren't any mobile phones back then, they used to have a photographer accompany them everywhere. Thus, my character's personality and the photographer were incorporated into 'Dabangg.'
I was sort of getting used to being a single mom, maybe a little too used to it.
I used her and she used me, but neither one cared, we were getting our share.
As soon as I hear that there's something to get used to, I know that I won't; I sort of pledge myself to not getting used to it.
I used comedy as a way to combat my dyslexia. I was barely getting by scholastically, so I used a lot of humor.
Computers used to petrify me before I figured it was just a matter of getting used to them.
Get used to me, I am not getting used to anyone.
I've always found that word ["hipster"] is used with such disdain, like it's always used by chubby bloggers who aren't getting laid anymore and are bored, and they're just so mad at these young kids for going out and getting wasted and having fun and being fashionable.
It smelled pretty rank, but I was getting used to the smell of death, as much as anyone could get used to it.
Media wants to know everything. We are in this industry: we have to get used to it; we are still getting used to it. So I have no complaints. They are doing their job.
I think I'm getting better at being verbal. I used to have a lot of problems with it. I had my own little demons that I was fighting, and I used the banjo as an escape.
