“If you are recording, you are recording. I don't believe there is such a thing as a demo or a temporary vocal. The drama around even sitting in the car and singing into a tape recorder that's as big as your hand - waiting until it's very quiet, doing your thing, and then playing it back and hoping you like it - is the same basic anatomy as when you're in the recording studio, really. Sometimes it's better that way because some of the pressure is off and you can pretend it's throwaway.” IfsWayBelieveSometimesHandsBigsWaitingCarDramaQuietSingingSittingPressureDon't BelieveStudiosTemporaryTapeVocalYou Like ItAnatomyRecordersDemosRecording Studio Author:Tom Waits
“For me pressure is bird flu. I'm serious. I'm feeling a lot of pressure with the problem in Scotland. It's not fun and I'm more scared of it than football. Football is nothing compared with life. For me bird flu is the drama of the last few days. I'll have to buy a mask.” FeelingsProblemLastsFunFootballSeriousDramaBirdPressureScaredManagersSoccerMaskScotlandChairmanFluBird Flu Author:Jose Mourinho
“The universal social pressure upon women to be all alike, and do all the same things, and to be content with identical restrictions, has resulted not only in terrible suffering in the lives of exceptional women, but also in the loss of unmeasured feminine values in special gifts. The Drama of the Woman of Genius has too often been a tragedy of misshapen and perverted power.” SufferingValuesSocialLossSpecialGeniusTerribleDramaUniversalTragedyPressureFeminineExceptionalRestrictionIdenticalSocial PressureSpecial Gifts Book:Woman's Share in Social Culture Source: Woman's Share in Social Culture
“The essence of Reality TV is all about drama. So, I think bringing pressure is healthy whether it's a professional chef or a domestic chef. Because the only way ever to really identify the true purpose of how good they are is submerging them under pressure. So I say it's no different than a live football game because it's about the intensity.” ThinkingWayDifferentRealityPurposeGamesFootballTvsHealthyDramaEssencePressureIntensityChefReality TvFootball GameUnder PressureTrue Purpose Author:Gordon Ramsay
“You have more of a responsibility to make the audience laugh. In comedy, we do have to say, "All right, it's been two minutes in the film. We need another laugh here." With drama, there's no pressure in that regard. It's a different kind of pressure, but it's not like we need to make someone laugh.” NeedsKindTwoDifferentFilmResponsibilityAudienceLaughingComedyMinutesDramaPressureRegardDifferent KindsNo PressureMake Someone Laugh Author:Jonah Hill
“One of the things I love about negotiations is that you have to be able to play it like an orchestra, different instruments for different circumstances. There's sweetness, and encouragement, and cajoling. There's pressure, there's drama, there's ultimatums.” DifferentPlayAbleCircumstancesDramaEncouragementPressureInstrumentsSweetnessNegotiationOrchestraThings I Love Author:Susan Rice
“Drama can feel like therapy whereas comedy feels like there's been a pressure and a weight lifted off of you. You come to work and you laugh all day, you go home and you feel light and there's a certain feeling when you're sitting with the audience and they leave after 90 minutes and it's just pure escapism and they're happy.” FeelsFeelingsHomeLightCertainAudienceLaughingComedyMinutesDramaPureSittingWeightPressureTherapyEscapism Author:Gabrielle Union
“The process of writing fiction is totally unconscious. It comes from what you are learning, as you live, from within. For me, all writing is a process of discovery. We are looking for the meaning of life. No matter where you are, there are conflicts and dramas everywhere. It is the process of what it means to be a human being; how you react and are reacted upon, these inward and outer pressures. If you are writing with a direct cause in mind, you are writing propaganda. It's fatal for a fiction writer.” IfsWritingMindHumansMeanMatterCausesProcessHuman BeingsFictionDramaConflictDiscoveryDirectPressurePropagandaMeaning Of LifeUnconsciousWhere You AreInwardFiction WritersWriting Fiction Author:Nadine Gordimer
