“When you’re working with Army and Marine Corps units, you immediately notice a difference. The Army is pretty tough, but their performance can depend on the individual unit. Some are excellent, filled with hoorah and first-class warriors. A few are absolutely horrible; most are somewhere in between. In my experience, Marines are gung ho no matter what. They will all fight to the death. Every one of them just wants to get out there and kill. They are bad-ass, hard-charging mothers.” WantFirstsMatterHardMotherFightingIndividualDifferencesClassDependsToughPerformancesArmyNo Matter WhatFilledHorribleAssWarriorExcellentUnitsBad AssMarineMarine CorpsFirst ClassCharging Author:Chris Kyle
“I have had the rich satisfaction of knowing and working with many openly gay and lesbian Americans, and I have come to realize that "gay" is an artificial category when it comes to measuring a man or woman's on-the-job performance or commitment to shared goals. It says little about the person. Our differences and prejudices pale next to our historic challenge.” MenLittlesPersonsJobsNextGoalRealizingChallengesDifferencesKnowingRichGayCommitmentPerformancesPrejudiceSatisfactionCategoriesArtificialPaleHistoricMeasuring Author:Alan K.

“The new "ambiguity" means, in a way adjudged favorable to literary, poetic, intellectually and psychologically well-devised and praiseworthily executed linguistic performance, uncertainty of meaning, or difficulty for the interpreter in identifying just what the meaning in question is: it means the old meanings of ambiguity with a difference. It means uncertainty of meaning (of a word or combination of words) purposefully incorporated in a literary composition for the attainment of the utmost possible variety of meaning-play compressible within the verbal limits of the composition.” WayWellsMeanPlayDifferencesLimitsPerformancesDifficultyVarietyCombinationUncertaintyPoeticCompositionAmbiguityAttainmentIdentifyingInterpreter Author:Laura Riding
“The issue of comparative performances can be regarded as settled to-day, both scientifically and practically. Though differences in attitudes between men and women still form a favorite topic of drawing-room conversation ... women's abilities are no longer seriously in doubt.

“I don't see a difference between playing a performance capture role and a live action role, they're just characters to me at the end of the day and I'm an actor who wants to explore those characters in fantastically written scripts.

“If you look at the performance of the zero-income-tax-rate states and the highest-income-tax-rate states, I believe a large amount of their difference is due to taxes. Not only is it true of the last decade, but I took these numbers back 50 years. And, there's not one year in the last 50 where the zero-income-tax-rate states have not outperformed the highest-income-tax-rate states.” IfsYearsBelieveLooksStatesLastsI BelieveDifferencesNumbersAmountTaxesHighestPerformancesRateDuesDecadesIncomeZeroIncome Tax Author:Arthur Laffer
“There are more similarities than differences when it comes to preparation of a performance. You're using some lyrics, you have a relationship with them, they apply to different parts of your life and different circumstances, different memories, different stories you have in your head. You form personal relationships with the song. I think that's very similar, in a way, to prepping a character. You pour your own personality, in a sense, into the character, you sympathize with a character in a way that's similar to the way you might sympathize with a song.” ThinkingWayDifferentCharacterStoriesMightFormSongDifferencesMemoriesPersonalityCircumstancesPerformancesPreparationSimilarityPersonal Relationships Author:Scarlett Johansson

“The other thing is that when people mention computers - and I'm pretty much the same - they find it hard to comprehend that there's a performance there. They look at it as something that's just been made by a computer but in a way the difference is that when you make a normal film - and I'm simplifying it here - you put on the make-up and you put the scenery in before you start shooting, but with this you still perform in the same way but then you put the make-up on after, along with the costumes and scenery.” PeopleWayLooksMadeStillsHardFilmDifferencesNormalComputerPerformancesShootingCostumesScenery Author:Ray Winstone
“There's a difference between over-training and over-exercising.
