Stacey Dooley
It’s near impossible to always be right when you’re innovating. It’s easy to get emotionally invested in it, but you need to monitor its impact like a hawk and react if you don’t like what you see. And if/when you pull it back, you want to do that communication with transparency and humility.
Jeff Jordan
While falling in love and getting married are good things, young people should think about the consequences as well, such as how their parents will react and the other problems that they will have to face.

Andrei Arlovski
The only thing that I’ve really noticed in my own experience is just people kind of saying that a woman, when they react to something exciting, ‘Oh, that’s a masculine way of reacting.’ And to me, that’s absurd.

I do all these crazy reaction-time things or reaction skills with tennis balls every morning, or at least four times a week.

Thiago Silva
Most parts for women have them reacting to something a man has done. Women never instigate any action; they only react it. We women have become accustomed to doing that.
Yvette Mimieux

Nobody wants to live under the threat of constant attack from enemies right next door, under ceaseless and often unfair international scrutiny, defending his homeland by day and living with the memories of mass genocide at night.
Pete Hegseth
How players react to questions that you ask can give definitive information as to the strength of their hand. Even an opponent who says nothing at all might be sending a silent signal. A mere shrug, an awkward smile, or even a frozen stare can be meaningful.

Jim Lehrer
You are preparing yourself for a scene, and the most important thing is to remain emotionally available and remain in the moment with your scene partner.

Jennifer Beals
There are certain people who react well in life-threatening situations, and our military and our law enforcement and our first responders tend to be those types of folks.

At times when you transform yourself and when you’ve opened too much, you tend to doubt how you’re going to face it, how you’re going to react to a situation, so it’s important that you believe yourself.

The current leadership of the Labor party react to the idea that working-class students might study the subjects they studied with the same horror that the Earl of Grantham showed when a chauffeur wanted to marry his daughter.

Laurene Powell Jobs
I’ve been training jiu-jitsu for a while. It just didn’t really click in my brain. Maybe sometimes I get a bit lazy. By the time I realize I’m in trouble, I’m already caught. You can’t really think about it. You’ve got to just react as it happens.
Mark Hunt
The external world is changing drastically, and enterprises and products will have a short lifecycle if they don’t change. So we have to react to market trends. Nothing lasts forever in today’s world.
Li Ning
A doctor is not a mechanic. A car doesn’t react with a mechanic, but a human being does.
Randa Haines
They’re reacting and that’s wonderful. It’s better than them sitting there doing nothing. I say make them react – do whatever’s in your power to move the audience, and if that’s where it is, and there where it is with America, sex and violence, then I say project it.
Alice Cooper
I love playing to people and seeing them react.
Madeleine Peyroux

Peggy Johnson
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
Charles R. Swindoll
People say never work with children and animals. I actually like working with Oliver Bell, and working with a rat really opens possibilities to you because you don’t know how it’s going to be. It’s just a rat, so you can just react to this rat being a rat, if that makes sense.
Tamzin Merchant
One of my favorite things about making horror movies is, the first time you screen them in front of an audience, it’s very fun to hear people audibly react to the work you put into a movie. You don’t wonder at the end of the movie whether it worked or not.
Jason Blum
It’s not my job to worry about how Left, Right will react to something. My job is, am I creating something that connects people? That’s my job.
Jose Antonio Vargas
We shot the song ‘Hum Tumhein Chahte Hain Aise’ by a lakeside. Though the song was a duet, it was filmed as a solo number on Vinod Khanna. I had to react to his singing and it worked.

I’ve got a good first step and things of that nature. So it’s just about using your body to make the defense play at your tempo and react to you.
Seth Curry
In life, you can’t control what other people are going to do; you can’t control how they’re going to behave. All you can control is how you’re going to react.
Shangela
I’m naturally going to react to that and he’ll bring out elements in my musical character that were lying dormant, because I’m relating what he’s playing.
Benny Green
Well, I’m not a violent person. You have to back off. People sometimes will try you and try you until you try not to, but you have to react. Normally, I just walk away.
Bubba Smith
I’m sure it’s one of the most frustrating aspects of human experience for all of us, that when we tell someone who’s hurt us that they’ve hurt us, they tend to react with anger because they feel guilty, and we know we also get angry when we feel guilty.
Joshua Oppenheimer
As actors, we’re always asked to portray and react to these extreme circumstances, otherwise it’s not interesting. They are agonizing things to think about.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I need to react to a script, to feel strongly about it in some way. And I need it to be a complex character for sure. And also, I think a lot about what kind of audience there is for the film, what they’re looking for and ways to connect with them in the playing of a character.
Jeremy Renner
I’m not someone who concerns himself with whether people pay to cheer Roman Reigns or whether people pay to boo Roman Reigns. People pay to see Roman Reigns. They pay to react to Roman Reigns.
Paul Heyman
Terrible things happen all of the time, and they can happen in a second. The best thing is to be prepared to react. If you try to control every little thing, you’re going to end up miserable – and you’re going to fail.
Jason Isbell
Democrats don’t react the same way Republicans do, because they are not forced to react the same way Republicans are forced to react. They get to be as corrupt as, basically, they want, and just ignore it.
Jack Abramoff
I have to put my father over because he really taught me a lot, especially when it comes to out-of-the-ring psychology and how to react when you’re approached by fans after a show or in the airport. It might sound silly, but a lot of those things come into play when you’re playing a character.
Randy Orton
I’m a kind of double-breasted rebel in that I’ve always believed the important thing is that generations react against one another. For instance, there was always something oddly creative about the fact that Hanoverian sons hated their fathers so much.
David Starkey
Anger is an unnecessary emotion. Loads of stuff in life can trigger it, but what matters is how you react. I choose not to react.
Nicola Adams
Cottonmouth is the result of having to react to his circumstances. He had to, in some ways, take control of the situation and own his circumstances. But as a result of that, he became a person he didn’t intend to become.
Mahershala Ali
I think that when voters react negatively to trade and investment, they are really expressing their angst about the pace of technological change.
Arancha Gonzalez
I didn’t feel like gymnastics were part of The Cars. I certainly philosophically didn’t want to prod the audience to react to anything. To me, it was more like negative theater. We didn’t really talk to the audience. I didn’t see that being a part of this band.
Ric Ocasek
When faced with exceptional circumstances, people react differently.
Divya Dutta
In the past, people used to tell me to shut up a bit. But what I believe is to put out your opinion and let everyone else react. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong.
Mark Cuban
Nobody ever dared with Frank, because he had such mood swings, and you never knew how he was going to react. But I could tell the minute I saw him that he was going to be in my corner.
Don Rickles
I think when you have kids, it definitely makes you look at things from a different perspective, but I think that the biggest thing it’s done is it’s made me look at things from a different perspective from a professional standpoint in how you analyze things and how you look at things and how you react to things.
Kevin Harvick
I still have a lot of military contacts, and friends and readers who’ve served or are serving, and they react really strongly to G.I. Joe. I’ve lost count of the number who’ve said, ‘Oh, I just loved it as a kid. I had all the figures; it really made me think.’
Karen Traviss
A scene, a day of shooting, can often make you feel kind of stupid and inept because your one job is to anticipate and react and know what to go for.
Ron Howard
I actually hope people don’t react to ‘Impossible’ in a way where they think it’s terribly retro. The plot needed to do what it needed to do. But I’m a little surprised to find myself looking a little bit like an advocate of teen marriage. It takes some exceptional circumstances for that to be a reasonable idea.
Nancy Werlin
It’s when I’m playing a headline show I feel weird, ’cause I don’t know how to react to people coming out to see me.
Lewis Capaldi
You have to play offense and defense without thinking, and react like you know what to do, but if you’re thinking of where to be and 1,000 other things you can lose focus. You’re trying to play hard, but you’re overthinking.
Mike D’Antoni
Every time I come to the States, I wish people would react to war like they react to tobacco, for example. Because war really kills in a second lots of people, thousands of people.

Bonnie Hammer
There is an urgent need for a protective Ebola vaccine, and it is important to establish that a vaccine is safe and spurs the immune system to react in a way necessary to protect against infection.
Anthony Fauci
Pressure makes people react in different ways. Some people plunge in, and others take the way out.
Ron Moody
My theory for a good interview is to listen to a person and react. I would always ask a question that was pertinent to the mindset of the talent, whether it was who they were going to meet, where they were going to meet them, and what they were going to do.
Gene Okerlund
No one likes to lose. Having been a person who’s lost elections, it’s not a fun thing to do and some people react by denying the facts of the situation.
Michael Capuano
It’s frustrating when you don’t feel like you help the team like you should, but at the end of the day there’s going to be ups and downs and it’s how you react.
Adam Thielen
Being an actor doesn’t mean that I can’t react to what’s happening around me.
Mohanlal

Kriti Sanon
You never know what the kids are going to react to, but a lot of my fans like the same bands that I like, and they know my vibe.
Adore Delano
I say the sweet science is to understand not only how to fight coming forward, how to be a big puncher, but also understand, if you run into a guy who can take your punch for the first time, how to react.
Bernard Hopkins
I do feel in 2018 that pro wrestling has gone in such a different direction. Before, things were so black and white; now, it’s shades of grey. It’s not so much good guys and bad guys: there are people who are put in situations who do the right or wrong things, but people react to them like they are stars.
Adam Cole
It’s up to any government to decide how to react to the denial of basic human rights anywhere in the world, including Egypt.

I’m usually trying to react to what the actors are coming up with. And then the environment, and then the story.
Gus Van Sant
When you are in your twenties if somebody hands you the keys to the kingdom and there’s all this expectation and burden on you – what does that do to you and also how do you react to being given those keys?
Sarah Jeffery
Sometimes when you’re inside a story, it’s almost better if you don’t think too much about its wider cultural significance or if you don’t think about how audiences might react to it. That takes you out of the reality of the situation you’re committing to as you’re telling the story.
Riz Ahmed
And I think before I was so focused on speed or I was so focused on trying to hit this great putt that I just wasn’t reacting to what I was doing. I react when I hit an iron shot, why can’t I do that when I’m over the putter?
Collin Morikawa
It’s not about you playing when everything is going good, it’s how you react when things are going bad and not going your way.
Jameis Winston
Variability is the law of life, and as no two faces are the same, so no two bodies are alike, and no two individuals react alike and behave alike under the abnormal conditions which we know as disease.
William Osler
I’m volatile, up-tempo, quick to react and passionate. People often think all that high-energy stuff is just for the stage, but that’s me. I like to express myself. When I was younger I would listen to the Jam in my bedroom and jump around in excitement to the music.
Keith Flint
Paying attention to what we allow ourselves to pay attention to is a tricky thing. It’s like being in two places at once but completely worth the discipline. We can react mindlessly or respond mindfully. It’s up to us.
Tara Stiles
Here’s the thing that people don’t understand: I don’t really care. I’ve never been a careerist. It’s not a strategy. I react to certain characters and story lines and specific mode of filmmaking.
Harmony Korine
No matter what the character is, I just say to myself ‘If I, Melissa George, was in that situation, how would I react?’ and once you do that you can just go for it, and hopefully the performance comes through.
Melissa George
Businesses can’t afford to react to what their customers want; they need to anticipate their needs.
Parker Harris
I feel amused when women in Indian films are unfailingly shown screaming at their kith and kin who are involved in nefarious activities. Please, let’s get real! How can a woman react so dramatically to something that has been happening under her nose ever since her marriage?
Supriya Pathak
I’m excited to see Cassie’s fans and how they react to the ending of ‘Clockwork Princess!’ I love hanging out with readers and seeing the energy readers bring to a room: seeing so many people united in imagination is going to be wonderful.
Sarah Rees Brennan
If you can prepare yourself to the best of your abilities and react to the situation, things will fall into place.
Vijay Shankar
The first tour an artist does is a strange one… because you can never tell how the audience is going to react.
Labrinth
In Torch Song, I did that character almost non-stop from 1978 until I made the movie in 1987. Then I had some failure, which also colors how you react to doing other things.
Harvey Fierstein
Music is very abstract. When we talk about music, we’re not discussing the music itself but rather how we react to it.
Daniel Barenboim
With any character I have played, there’s infinite possibilities for how they might behave, depending on who they are talking to or how they react to things.
Viggo Mortensen
I don’t have any problem with tackles or duels, but I react when I notice that someone is only trying to kick me out of the game. But I never have the intention to hurt anyone. Everything is forgotten again a minute later.
Franck Ribery
You’re suspended sixty feet up in the air, you’ve been up there for three hours, and all the shot requires is that you have to sort of react to getting punched in the head.
Alfred Molina
You don’t have any kind of control ultimately. Things are just going to happen as they will. And I think your best option sometimes is just to react rather than try to plan everything out in advance.
Jason Isbell
A plate of food hits the table, lands right in front of you. One of two things happens. Either you sit up and look at it and react to it, or nothing happens. If nothing happens then that restaurant is stuck in mediocrity forever.
Jon Taffer
There are people who think negatively, and there have been people who react negatively towards BTS music.
Suga
Reality is on a delay. For you, nothing is now. Realizing this fact is unsettling. If we can only react to the past, how do we manage to navigate the present? It’s easy to spiral into a treatise on free will while in the fetal position, overthinking our forever past.
Kyle Hill
The thing that makes the great players great, and that separates players from different players is, when you going out there whether being prepared or not, you have to react. And if you’re thinking, you’re already a step behind.
Cam Newton
I can’t imagine how people will react to my music. For me, it’s a really fluid process from one record to the next, but it’s really up to the listener.
Jenny Lewis
Football, we pretty much control what we do and how we react, and there are two days we couldn’t, on the draft and on the selection for the Hall of Fame.
Brian Urlacher
Audiences are shifting. Platforms are shifting. Ages are shifting. It’s better to be in charge of change than to have to react to change.
Roger Ailes
What’s great about stand-up is that you can say whatever you want and go around the country, and sometimes the world, and work on it and see how people react. You don’t need Standards & Practices or notes from lawyers or producers to tell you what’s funny.
Natasha Leggero
I react to stress badly. I handle it better these days. But I’m a very straightforward person.
Dawn Steel
Drawing will never go out of date because, you know, you’ve still got to have the imaginative thought. You’ve got to react to the world in the present and do a drawing.
Grayson Perry
I was so nervous about ‘Kingsman,’ I can’t tell you, because when you do things different and fresh and fun and crazy, you don’t know how people are going to react.
Matthew Vaughn
I prefer to express myself physically, or non-verbally. I prefer just to react without having a lot of dialogue.
Marisa Tomei
When I help a farmer, I don’t differentiate between them based on their region, as farmers have no borders. I want to live like a world citizen and react like a human being.
Prakash Raj
When Rumsfeld gets up on television and says we have definitive intelligence that al Qaeda is working with Iraq, how is an ordinary citizen supposed to react? They won’t tell you the evidence, and when anyone asks, they say, ‘Well, you know: It’s secret.’
Noam Chomsky
I don’t want to get embroiled in any controversy. At the same time, I want to take part in those conversations that are meaningful. I have not entrusted anyone to reply on behalf or react to any issue pertaining to me.
Mammootty
By making a comeback, I’m changing the attitude of people toward me. If I’d known that people would react so enthusiastically, I’d have done it years ago.
Mark Spitz
It’s my personal opinion, and I’m not espousing it to anybody else, I think your immune system and how healthy you are determines how you react to any excess of any kind.
George Hamilton
My whole life, I’ve been preparing for moments and you can only know how you’re going to react once you’re in them.
Ryan Mason
It’s good for your career as a sportsman if you watch other professional sports – how they’re behaving and how they react in difficult situations.
Michael Ballack
There was nothing more I wanted to do than to see my dad react well to my music. I still do. I send him my demos all the time.
Dan Reynolds
What I learned is that in business you must make decisions based on facts, not react with your heart.
Mario Andretti
Earlier, I used to try to act, but now I just react naturally. I feel the scene and then do it. Emotions, feelings just flow in naturally.
Shaheer Sheikh
Our health care system squanders money because it is designed to react to emergencies. Homeless shelters, hospital emergency rooms, jails, prisons – these are expensive and ineffective ways to intervene and there are people who clearly profit from this cycle of continued suffering.
Pete Earley
When you screw with somebody’s sense of ownership of something, that’s when they react.
James Murray
It is important in football how you react to things when things aren’t going so well.
Daniel James
I think everyone really wants to just be happy and live the life that they want to live. But they come up against all of these obstacles and sometimes the way that react we react to that can be very hilarious. To me. It’s hilarious and laughable.
Takashi Miike
I think the sense of fairness in humans is very strongly developed, and that’s why we react so strongly to all the bonuses received by Wall Street executives. We want to know why they deserve these benefits.
Frans de Waal
In London, the weather would affect me negatively. I react strongly to light. If it is cloudy and raining, there are clouds and rain in my soul.
Jerzy Kosinski
I believe that mycelium is the neurological network of nature. Interlacing mosaics of mycelium infuse habitats with information-sharing membranes. These membranes are aware, react to change, and collectively have the long-term health of the host environment in mind.
Paul Stamets
Being a pop star is something I don’t think I’m very good at. I’m worried it’s making me too paranoid, because all of a sudden, life has become this constant assessment. When you put something out there and people get to hear it, then those people react to it, socially, culturally.
Laura Mvula
We all hit moments when we feel helpless. The test is how we react to that feeling. We can either learn from it and move forward or let it drag us down.
Travis Bradberry
I’m always shocked by what people react to.
Jennifer Konner
I tend to keep the press at a distance, you know, and I don’t really react to what they say. I react to what I feel more.
Margaret Trudeau
Come fight night, there will be nerves, but it’s how you react to those nerves – doing what you need to regardless – that’s how you win fights.
Robert Whittaker
People react differently to puppets than they do to human performers: they become more playful, more open.
Kathe Koja
The worst thing you can say about libertarians is that they are intellectually immature, frozen in the worldview many of them absorbed from reading Ayn Rand novels in high school. Like other ideologues, libertarians react to the world’s failing to conform to their model by asking where the world went wrong.
Jacob Weisberg
If you’re playing with somebody from another idiom, you can’t react to them in the same way that you react to somebody that is closer to your idiom. You don’t fall into the same habits. You find a new way of communicating.
David Sanborn
I just don’t like people coming up to me and saying something. It immediately makes you become insincere. There is no way you can react to it sincerely.
Tom Verlaine
I look at the quarterback and the receivers. You look at the quarterback, the formation. I focus on the passing game and react on the running game. You look at it over and over, then sooner or later, it becomes like a movie. You ever notice how you quote movies? That’s all film watching is.
Ed Reed
You know, there’s a tremendous amount of genetic propensity not necessarily for what TV shows you like but for literally how you view the world, how you react to things, how things touch you and how things move you.
Mayim Bialik
Web publishing can create common spaces; it all depends on how we, the readers and sometimes the producers, react to technological change. If we sort ourselves into narrow groups, common spaces will be in big trouble. But there’s no reason not to have common spaces on the Internet. There are lots of them out there.
Cass Sunstein
If I started worrying about how my constituents are going to react to every move I make, I wouldn’t be able to do my job here. I’ll do what I think is right and explain it later.
Ed Harris
I’m more interested in knowing my cues than my lines. If you know what your cues are, then you know what your reaction is going to be to them. Acting is about reacting, and if I can kind of purely react, that’s easier for me.
Stephen Root
I think there’s something in people where they often want to describe their personal experiences, but when it’s regarding wealth, they’re obviously very guarded. They’re very worried about how people are going to react to what they say.
Jamie Johnson
There are things we can control and the things we can’t control. I can’t control how people react to the work I do.
Noah Hawley
It gets to you as a father when your kids don’t react to you in the way you imagine.
Mo Farah
I am interested in how human beings react to crisis and conflict.
Garry Shandling
You can never predict how market will react. You can model it. You may try to predict it, but weather and markets and risk, only God knows because only he has seen tomorrow.
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala
Lots of countries, like Israel, live with terrorism every day, and it doesn’t impact their integrity. The big threat to America is the way we react to terrorism by throwing away what everybody values about our country – a commitment to human rights. America is a great nation because we are a good nation.
Robert Kennedy, Jr.
There is an old tool that has become very handy that is called strategic patience, which is do not overreact in the short-term. Take your time. See what is the underlying, real message. And then, once the reality is represented by actions, then decide how you are going to react to those actions.
Ildefonso Guajardo Villarreal
Although Dorothy in Blue Velvet was humiliated and hurt by men, basically I could react to how she felt.
Isabella Rossellini
You have to react to what’s around you in the moment, whatever the music is. Just think of it as some place you have to enter and you need to find the key.
Jan Garbarek
I was active on Facebook for a while, responding to comments and thanking fans for their appreciation. But I found that the Facebook feed was numbing my emotions. I’d see an extraordinarily tragic news item, and even before I could react to it, see a hilarious meme right below it. This was confusing me.
Vijay Sethupathi
Whenever a gentle pressure is used to make a slight change in leg posture, the neck muscles react immediately. Conversely, when the therapist helps one to ‘release’ the neck muscles, it is amazing to see quite pronounced movements for instance of the toes, even when one is lying on a couch.
Nikolaas Tinbergen
A lot of the time, when people meet someone in a wheelchair, or with some disability, it’s the first thing they notice, but they don’t know how to react.
Zach Anner
My idea of my music is constantly changing so I feel like how other people react to my old songs just ends up putting more pressure on myself from my own perspective.
Tate McRae
I’m interested in how we react when we’re heavily pressed. When we’re vulnerable and our survival is in question, how do we behave?
Paolo Bacigalupi
I have no choice about whether or not I have Parkinson’s. I have nothing but choices about how I react to it. In those choices, there’s freedom to do a lot of things in areas that I wouldn’t have otherwise found myself in.
Michael J. Fox
Generations of black women have anxiously watched as our children walk out into a world set against them. We teach them how to respond to police and how to react to racist comments, knowing that these lessons are not guaranteed to protect our children.
Patrisse Cullors
I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can’t be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesn’t discuss media coverage.
Sachin Tendulkar
Have the courage to act instead of react.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
Photography is pretty simple stuff. You just react to what you see, and take many, many pictures.
Elliott Erwitt
The dumber half of the audience – whether they’re male or female, and a lot of them are male – for some reason responds very quickly to the feminine voice. How can I put it? They kind of instantly react to the female voice in a positive way quicker than they would the male voice.
Frank Black
After playing so many songs in churches for eight or nine years, I’ve learned what songs people react to. Then I just had fun with the arrangements. That’s how this album came together.
John Tesh
You can take a bit of criticism from your manager now and then, but you have to react to it which I have done.
Ross Barkley
I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.
Mahatma Gandhi
Politicians used to have the confidence to tell us stories that made sense of the chaos of world events. But now there are no big stories, and politicians react randomly to every new crisis – leaving us bewildered and disorientated.
Adam Curtis
You don’t know how you’ll react to things until you live through them.
Lloyd Blankfein
I’d defend the right for any novelist to experiment with form or language, but if people don’t take to it, don’t react by making out that they are thick.
Graham Joyce
If you make a certain type of statement, you can make a pretty good prediction of how George Steinbrenner will react.
John W. Henry
I think you can make jokes about anything. But you have to accept that there will be people who don’t like it. And they are completely within their rights, just as you are completely within your rights to say whatever you want to say. They’re within their rights to react how they’re going to react.
Paul F. Tompkins
When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways – either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength. Thanks to the teachings of Buddha, I have been able to take this second way.
Dalai Lama
The more I pay attention to what’s going on inside, the more I realize that how I feel, and how I react to what I feel, really creates my reality. And the more in touch I can be, the better chance I have to control what’s happening in my life.
Ricky Williams
Nature is good at connectivity. The impact of diverse human activities is observed and absorbed throughout nature. Everything is linked. Nature has no problem with coherence. Ecosystems react with their own logic.
Jonas Gahr Store
When you raise your voice in song to express what’s going on deep inside of you, I think people just react to that because it’s so truthful. It’s so raw.
Jane Lynch
When I was younger, before I was born, I lost my twin, so I think I’ve always had a fascination for telepathy or the way that twins act and react with each other.
Sophie Turner
I’m only going to be the way I’d want someone to react to me.
Johnny Ramone
As a filmmaker and an actor, my job is to react towards people, but I want a reaction from them.
Tommy Wiseau
I really didn’t know how people were going to react to ‘Magic Mike’ because there hasn’t been a movie like it.
Jenna Dewan
The environment around you shapes who you are. How you handle an emergency or how you react when someone is rude to you, that’s you.
Halsey
I like the tradition of ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances and how they react to events which force them to be heroic in a way that is not in their natures.
Rob Lowe
‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ was mainly a boys’ film; we girls were just a catalyst. We would set up a situation for them to react to, and the joke would come on us. The applause was for the boys. But, the film paved the way for me in the industry.
Nushrat Bharucha
In 2002, a Scottish journalist, during a dinner meant to be private, absolutely wanted me to react to Stephen Hawking’s comments. I said one shouldn’t pay too much attention to what Hawking was saying because he was a celebrity but not a specialist of elementary particle theory.
Peter Higgs
And I think I’m an adrenaline junkie, and there’s nothing that will spike your adrenaline more than sitting in a theater and listen to an audience react to something you’ve written.
Diablo Cody
I’ve always wondered what it would be like if the Messiah, or Christ Returned, were actually alive and living in our society; who would that person be, how we would identify them, how would they live and what would they believe in, how would society react to them? I decided to try and tell my idea of that story.
James Frey
There’s a lot of knowledge in civil engineering about how soils will react when subjected to heavy loads. When you take lightweight vehicles and granular soils of varying composition, it’s a very complex modeling process.
Karl Iagnemma
My parents taught me to react quickly when temptation comes and to say ‘No!’ instantly and emphatically. I recommend that same counsel to you. Avoid temptations.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
My brothers each reacted differently to ‘Blood Sandwich.’ It’s a very specific type of odd feeling when there’s a song written about you. People react to it differently.
Aesop Rock
I didn’t know this about myself, but when ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ came out I realised that I didn’t enjoy a huge amount of recognition. I didn’t react to it well, but I think life is about finding out who you are and what you like. So I started doing independent movies and art-house films instead.
Keira Knightley
Realizing our society as it is, without theology dogmatically telling us how we should react to it, and being humane toward that society, that is all that we’re sure of.
Vidal Sassoon
Why we cannot build a system like El Al to be proactive. Why do we have only to react? The shoe bomber – reaction? Take off your shoes. The Nigerian – the body scanner is a result of the Nigerian guy.
Isaac Yeffet
You think you would react one way when a situation develops and, and when the sharp shells are flying, you don’t quite stand up like you think you might.
Walter Cronkite
But I still serve pretty big and that’s one of my biggest weapons, so if my shoulder holds up and I can count on it, I can win a few matches and then you never know how the other guys are going to react to the fatigue and the length of the matches.
Guy Forget
Not every single minute of your career will go well, individually and collectively, and not every season will go how you want it to, but it’s how you react to that.
Gary Cahill
People – I hate to use the word ‘fans’ – are very respectful. It’s not like I’m some pop idol or big movie star. I’m very approachable, and I love the people who enjoy me, because they react like they’ve run into a friend. Usually, it’s like, ‘Hey, Wanda! How ya’ doing?’
Wanda Sykes
When you act with phenomenal actors, it makes your job much easier because all you have to do is react.
Nelsan Ellis
When you know someone for four-five years, you tend to know everything about the person. You tend to know when the other person is reacting to a certain situation, how the other person would react in a situation.
Kartik Aaryan
The best way to test whether you are saying the truth or not – if you say something and people don’t react then it’s not the real truth. But if people start reacting then what you are saying has got an element of truth.
Vivek Agnihotri
It is easy to react if everything is going great.
Vince Gill
Ultimately it’s a leap of faith and a leap of imagination to put yourself back in time into those conditions and situations and see how you would react.
Derek Jacobi
I never live in the present. I’d do interviews and people will say, ‘Isn’t this great?’ or ‘Can you believe?’ And I would react, like, ‘No, I can’t believe it because I’m not living in this moment.’
Katy Perry
I love my kids, and the moments I have with them, and it’s kind of weird, it’s such an age old cliche, but the way that my sons, the way they make me feel when I look at them, the way they say things, no one else would probably react to them, but it’s a special thing for me.
Michael Rapaport
With devotion at the center of your awareness, you don’t have to refer to your past in order to make a choice of how to respond or react in any given situation.
Debbie Ford
Charge forward with hope and get the best medical advice you can. Talk to your friends, neighbors, family, and together you attack it. We can’t always control what happens to us, but we can always control how we react to it.
Robert Urich
People respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that’s how they’ll react. But if you say, ‘We want peace, we want stability,’ we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society.
Nelson Mandela
I thought it would be good not to hide the fact that you’re taking a photograph, and have people react and come in close and also make a commentary on what’s being photographed: ‘This is a photo, this is my point of view.’
William Klein
The process of coming out is normally very disappointing. It’s not that people react badly to it – they really don’t care.
Derren Brown
I try to think what the character is thinking. Then, hopefully, I begin to feel it. I act and react not because I’m recalling a dog killed by a fire engine, but because I’m concentrating on what the character is going through.
E. G. Marshall
When I make a tackle or make a play and I have a slight pain or something, you’re going to react the way you react.
Ed Reed
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 96% how I react to it.
Scipio Africanus
Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.
Wade Boggs
In ‘Me Before You,’ the two characters popped into my head fully formed, which is really strange and unusual. Other books, I sit on them for two or three months. I have a whole routine: I buy a nice book; I hand-write all their characteristics. I put them through little tests just to see how they would react to things.
Jojo Moyes
I had no idea what being on stage would be like or how I’d react to the applause. I didn’t think I deserved their applause. Then I realized I’d done something to make them feel something. That made it okay. But it was weird. A nice weird.
Wilson Cruz
We all have difficult moments in our careers. It is how you react to them that counts.
Wojciech Szczesny
I work on myself daily to be a better person. When I react in a negative way to somebody, I sit back and think about why I did it, so I’m always working on myself, and my music is the same.
Lizzo
Wine is similar to music in that it’s a purely experiential realm, and it’s a purely subjective practice. That’s sort of the funny thing about wine criticism or, for that matter, music criticism. At times, those are useful guides, but ultimately it’s all about how you react to that music or wine.
Mike D
Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you’re in control, they’re in control.
Tom Landry
How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.
Wayne Dyer
The immune system has evolved the capacity to react specifically with a very large number of foreign molecules with which it had no previous contact while avoiding reactivity for autologous molecules, naturally antigenic in other species or in other individuals of the same species.
Baruj Benacerraf
I think I’ve been wishing for celebrity for so long that I’ve got used to being someone who’s petitioning the establishment for acceptance… my whole schtick, my whole identity, is so wrapped up in being a petitioner that I don’t really know how to react now that petition has been granted.
Toby Young
The language of chemistry simply does not mesh with that of biology. Chemistry is about substances and how they react, whereas biology appeals to concepts such as information and organisation. Informational narratives permeate biology.
Paul Davies
NASA trains you to assess emergency situations and react in a way to keep yourself and everyone else safe.
Kathleen Rubins
That’s why football is so nice – it gives us the opportunity to react quickly and learn a lot from a situation, what were our mistakes, and where things went wrong.
David Luiz
I am a stress buster. Because I knew what people react or think after watching me on screen and I love it.
Rakhi Sawant
Most actors work on a scene, I try to find out who the character is. So when a scene or a moment comes, I react the way she would react.
Shefali Shah
New York City is a very tough place. I’m tough, too. When people give me a punch in the nose, I react by getting even tougher.
Ivana Trump
Real people – the interesting ones, anyway – don’t remain static, and neither do the ones I write about. Changes take place, and they react to them.
P. N. Elrod
My idea of a good fantasy is something that’s absolutely grounded in reality. And there’s a little element that doesn’t belong there – and that’s the fantasy element – that you have to react to and deal with in a completely real way.
Melissa Mathison
Some smashes have been timed at more than 250 mph, so you get less than a second to react. People who see a professional badminton match up close are always shocked at the speed.
Rajiv Ouseph
Free speech gives us the ability to react vigorously with effective arguments and expose the weakness and misdirection of the other side’s claims.
Rush Limbaugh
My bottom line is that monetary policy should react to rising prices for houses or other assets only insofar as they affect the central bank’s goal variables – output, employment, and inflation.
Janet Yellen
I’m terrified of men these days. If someone asked me out now, I don’t know what I’d say, how I’d react. But I couldn’t go through with it, not at all. I suppose I’ve been terrified of them all along.
Christine Keeler
People expect all women to react the same to pregnancy. But anyone who’s been around pregnant women knows that it’s not all cutesy and sweet. You spaz out and you’re angry and you have tantrums.
Keri Russell
At that speed, batsmen are almost trying to premeditate where the ball will be – they feel like they don’t have time to react or move. That’s the difference between bowling in the mid-80s and the mid-90s.
James Anderson
My stories are about humans and how they react, or fail to react, or react stupidly. I’m pointing the finger at us, not at the zombies. I try to respect and sympathize with the zombies as much as possible.
George A. Romero
I love films that make me react emotionally and physically when you walk out of the cinema. Two of my favorite films however have got to be ‘The Tree Of Life’ and ‘The Piano Teacher,’ which also stars one of my favourite actresses Isabelle Huppert.
Alicia Vikander
When I realised I was transgender I was so afraid of what my transition would do to everyone else in my life and how they would react to it and would I be rejected?
Chaz Bono
I like to connect with people and suss them out. There’s no better way than seeing how they react if you just bear into them.
Kate McKinnon
When you work so hard on making a film, it’s all worthwhile when you get to experience seeing that film with an audience who thoroughly enjoy it and react to the movie.
Karl Urban
The players don’t play the position game as much as we used to play. A lot of young guys go up and down, shoot the puck, go for the rebounds. You’re getting tired quicker because the body has to react where the puck is going to go. You cannot read it, because you don’t have the puck on your stick.
Jaromir Jagr
It’s such an interesting experience seeing how different people react to music and the generosity of some and the craziness of others – people who go see bands in different countries, know all the words to the songs, and get tattoos. It’s so unexpected.
Dan Smith
I am struck by how casually we as a nation react to the carnage in Iraq.
Charles B. Rangel
Acting is reacting. You can’t react if you’re not paying attention, if you’re not listening.
Reid Scott
I always feel like you never know: sometimes you can put out work that you feel is really strong, and other times, you can put out work you think is less strong, and people react to it, so it’s kinda like in the eye of the beholder!
Beth Hart
I was always a little skeptical of how voters would react to my name.
Raja Krishnamoorthi
Be reactionary. React to what the market wants. And the market wants one-on-one real time engagement. Now that we have the tools to engage, I’m going to continue fighting for the end user.
Gary Vaynerchuk
Donald Trump called for the closing of borders to Muslims; John McCain said, in response to the President’s address on the San Bernardino shooting, that ‘this is the war of our time.’ As that shooting shows, we react to terrorism with far more intensity than we do to an ordinary crime.
Lawrence M. Krauss
I rate Dave Luiz as a top defender. He’s very clever. But I don’t know if he’s as quick as me. And if he kicks me, he kicks me. It’s fine. I can’t react to anything.
Marko Arnautovic
We decided that how we react to and treat those fellow mortals, wild and domestic, tells us more about ourselves than, perhaps, some of us want to know.
Nick Clooney
I am surprised that everyone loves a criminal. It amazes me and I really don’t know how to react to it. Bob Biswas has become some sort of an idol, which is interesting because such a thing has happened for the first time.
Saswata Chatterjee
Voters should absolutely know that a future president has the instincts to react to real-life and unrehearsed situations.
Richard Grenell
If you feel like you’re doing terrible in a scene, that usually means that you’re not listening because you’re too preoccupied with yourself… you’re not listening to your scene partner. If you listen, you’re naturally going to get that response that the camera’s going to pick up because you just react.
Julia Garner
You’re watching the movie for the first time when you’re working with the actors in front of the camera. You don’t think about how the audience will react. You discover the film.
Juan Antonio Bayona
Every statement that comes out of Washington that is not respectful and is trying to intimidate the Iranian people – is trying to put pressure on the Iranian people – strikes that very, very sensitive chord in the Iranian psyche, and they immediately react.
Mohammad Javad Zarif
It’s funny to see how people react to the project, to read their thoughts, and I wonder aloud, ‘Did they even watch the movie? Did they even get it?’ I know we, myself and the entire cast, put a lot of heart, love and humor into ‘Meet the Peeples’. I’m very proud of that film and what we were able to accomplish.
Craig Robinson
To say how you would react if you were really storming the charts and had people running around after you… who’s to say how any of us would deal with that.
Teddy Thompson
They were always my favourite scenes working with Don Warrington. He’s such a brilliant actor, he has such a presence, you don’t have to act with him you just react you know he’s so good.
Ardal O’Hanlon
In our industry, everything is taken lightly. Guys say so many things, and if you react to them, they go, like,’We are kidding.’ Things like ‘You are looking hot sexy’ are common.
Shilpa Shinde
People react to fear, not love; they don’t teach that in Sunday School, but it’s true.
Richard M. Nixon
I think that’s part of building your team is trying to anticipate where your team is going and to a certain extent where, especially defensively because you have to react to what they put on the field. Defensively you have to be able to defend those things.
Bill Belichick
Scenes change all the time. Scenes will change while you’re shooting them, and you just have to roll with it ’cause that’s what makes it funny. It’s not being stuck in your character and how you’re gonna do something, but to react to other people and to really have a real-life conversation.
Yara Shahidi
You have to be careful to react when you start to deviate from your course.
Carlos Ghosn
My music is born from instinct. I react to situations a script may provide while creating a song.
Amit Trivedi
Acting is reacting. That’s when acting is great – when you say something, somebody said something, they make a face, they pose, they use something physical, then you react to that, then they react to you.
Carlos Mencia
People can press your buttons and make you react… but it’s not under your control.
Vinod Khanna
I’ve never really been a character on TV. I think, if possible, you want to portray yourself. If you’re in a situation where you’re supposed to react, you need to react.
Daniel Bryan
People see truth in my films. That’s what they react to, and that’s what they relate to.
Tyler Perry
When I tell people I don’t own a mobile phone and wouldn’t know how to text, they react as though I have just confessed that I can’t read.
Craig Brown
When I go in to fight week, I go, ‘Maybe I’m going to be that guy on the highlight reel that gets knocked out.’ I’m always thinking, ‘How am I going to react? Am I going to be a sore loser?’ I’m almost checking myself in case something bad happens.
Brian Ortega
I listen to my emotions. That’s why I react once I get provoked sometimes.
Franck Ribery
What’s important is to listen before you react.
Florence Pugh
I don’t react and think off emotions – that gets you in a bad situation.
Bernard Hopkins
I don’t know if it’s a male thing, but I’ve always been interested in how people respond to the stresses and dangers of war, how they react under fire.
George Packer
The idea behind reinforcement learning is you don’t necessarily know the actions you might take, so you explore the sequence of actions you should take by taking one that you think is a good idea and then observing how the world reacts. Like in a board game where you can react to how your opponent plays.
Jeff Dean
While immensely beneficial to Seoul, is this U.S. guarantee to fight Korean War II, 64 years after the first, wise? Russia, China and Japan retain the freedom to decide whether and how to react, should war break out. Why do we not?
Pat Buchanan
You are a human being, you do react. If you react to negativity, you also react to positivity.
Jaya Bachchan
With actors, it’s really about feeding them all the time. I don’t get involved in their process. I try to do the opposite, feeding them, feeding them, feeding them, and you can see very easily how they react to it.
Juan Antonio Bayona
I don’t think any of us know how we would react until we were put in a situation where we have to do something bad or do something good. I think I’d like to believe I’d act like a decent human being, but I’m realistic to know I don’t know.
Philip Kerr
That’s a big deal for kids, when they come into the kitchen and the teacher is drinking coffee with mom. They react differently on the next day when you say: ‘Sit down and shut-up!’
Ed O’Neill
The topic of slavery is like an electric fence. Touch it and people will react.
Edward Ball
The way I look at it is, when you allow people to submerge themselves into a story, they will react by thinking through what it’s about. That’s just so much more fun and effective, I think, than a lecture.
Jordan Peele
I used to play for Dortmund, I have friends there and the fans know me so I want to experience that dread of going to that stadium as the away team and I’d like to see how Dortmund would react.
Shinji Kagawa
I believe in the fact that an audience has one heart. I can just tell you one thing: If I sing the ‘Adagio,’ and I pull it out with all the honesty I have – whether they’re Japanese, Italian, American or Belgian or French – they will react in the same way.
Lara Fabian
I can’t just react on the strength of an email and three pages of synopsis, and say I’m going to take off for three months of my life.
Emmanuelle Beart
If the actors aren’t reacting the way people would react, that’s where you step into disbelief.
Misha Green
I’ve had more reaction to ‘Peaky’ than anything. People react really intensely.
Steven Knight
You’re raising a kid and you give it food and shelter and, most importantly, you give it the feeling that it’s special. I think people react to celebrities like that – I mean, they treat celebrities like children.
David Duchovny
Tragedy, loss, and hurt often arrive unanticipated. How we react when we are surprised will tell our families whether what we have taught and testified lies deep in our hearts.
Henry B. Eyring
You just never know how an audience is going to react.
Michael McElhatton
Business is global. Countries need to react to that; taxes need to be paid where profit arises.
Mo Ibrahim
When I tell stories about Iraq, the ones people react to are always the stories of violence. This is strange for me.
Phil Klay
I do better with routines and predictability. I don’t react well when there’s a sudden change in the schedule.
Gretchen Rubin
The emotions you see when you watch ‘Narcos,’ they’re pretty much my emotions and the way I would react if I were there. It’s not something you create; all of us have everything inside ourselves.
Wagner Moura
People react to ‘District 9’ and Die Antwoord on the same level.
Watkin Tudor Jones
Published in 1947, ‘The Plague’ has often been read as an allegory, a book that is really about the occupation of France, say, or the human condition. But it’s also a very good book about plagues, and about how people react to them – a whole category of human behavior that we have forgotten.
Anne Applebaum
I react emotionally to everything!
Jennie Garth
What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.
Ellen Glasgow
It’s a responsibility as a parent to a human and a parent to a dog. Situations can happen, a dog can react if it’s feeling threatened or frightened the same as a human would.
Gemma Atkinson
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.
Mia Hamm
Acting is nothing but reacting, so if your co-stars react in a particular way, it does affect your acting as well.
Paresh Rawal
I don’t know how my body would react if I don’t eat for 10 days. In order to go through that experience, I almost did not eat or drink water for 15-20 days. I only had one carrot a day, a cup of black coffee, and a few sips of water.
Rajkummar Rao
A lot of scientists on Earth think of things that they could do in zero g. Things like the way metals cure, for example, and the way fluids react in space can tell us a lot about some of the unknowns we have on Earth.
Kevin A. Ford
It is my job to help the players react better.
Jurgen Klopp
I believe that politics takes a much different set of skills than science. Science is about getting to the truth. Politics is about what people think and how they react.
Stanley B. Prusiner
Yes, I think I am like the sea. I appear calm on the surface, but there’s a lot going on within. Many a times, I may not react to certain things, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t care or I don’t have emotions.
Atif Aslam
A threatened nation can react to uncertain dangers solely through administrative channels, to the truly embarrassing situation of perhaps overreacting.
Jurgen Habermas
When you listen, as a human being and an actor, you can react authentically.
Chrissy Metz
All bodies can’t be same, my body will react differently tours.
Dutee Chand
When people learn that I’m a qualified primary school teacher, I’m often met with surprise and a list of questions, including, ‘How do the children react? How do you do it?’ Children are some of the most open and inclusive individuals. It’s often us adults who have difficulties in accepting difference.
Sinead Burke
People who passionately want to believe that the world is basically simple react to this with a fury that goes beyond what I consider appropriate for discussing a programming language.
Bjarne Stroustrup
I kind of really study different angles of the film. You see how people’s bodies are, how they react to certain kind of moves – what foot they step with, what hand they jab with, and all that. Just little things like that, that you pick up when you watch film. Studying is big for me.
Stefon Diggs
There are two questions that you ask yourself as a writer, and one of them is, ‘But why?’ The question that takes the book forward is, ‘What if? What if x y or z happened? How would those characters react?’
Penny Jordan
The evolution of football has seen a reduction in the space between the teams. It is therefore important for the modern footballer to react and be quicker than in the past, because there is more happening in the restricted space.
Frank Rijkaard
Everything I’ve been thinking, every vision, even down to every shot I throw, it just ends up here in reality. Whether it was in a fight and how to react or whether it was in a stadium with screaming fans or whether I was in a fancy car or the best clothes ever, I always put myself somewhere.
Conor McGregor
When something terrible happens, how you react determines who you are from then on.
Lisa Kleypas
It’s very fun to see how fans react and theorize and get excited about what might happen in future seasons.
Aidan Gallagher
When you’re the lead of a series, things happen around you, and you react to them.
James Van Der Beek
I really just try to focus on my job, which is to be an actor, and outside that, the cards fall where they may, and on not getting caught up in how people react to certain things. That’s a death trap creatively.
Matt Bomer
Once you buy into a television show, there doesn’t have to be resolution from week to week. You can develop characters and storylines and react to the audience, so you get more of a serialized version of storytelling where you can go much deeper into each character. It’s more like a novel.
Jon Favreau
It’s really tough when you have back injury because you cannot bend; you cannot react at the balls.
Simona Halep
There is a real joy to be able to get up and react to each other and appreciate the whole being greater than the sum of the parts, just the chemistry of the group.
Lindsey Buckingham
Life isn’t always great, but it’s all about how we react to things.
Jake Peavy
Enterprise zones have succeeded in attracting needed capital to our urban poverty centers. Businesses and investors that wouldn’t otherwise give these blighted areas a second glance react to the incentives and invest.
Jared Polis
The problem is how do molecules react. Because if you want to transform a molecule into something useful or something you’re interested in, it helps a lot to understand the structure. That means you can explore much more complicated systems, much more complicated reactions.
William Lipscomb
I think the way we react to things is a big indicator of our character and what type of person we are.
Zendaya
As a goalkeeper you need to be good at organising the people in front of you and motivating them. You need to see what’s going on and react to the threats. Just like a good manager in business.
Peter Shilton
When I’m out there, you just have to react. That’s why you work on those throws. When you’re in the moment, you can’t think to yourself, ‘How do I get this to go 47 yards and be 2 yards inside the sideline?’
Aaron Rodgers
The only thing that I react really violently to is being misquoted.
Gore Vidal
I feel like when I do some dance moves during the week or at the house, I’m quicker on my feet. I can react quicker just from dancing.
Rob Gronkowski
No two people react to things the same way, and even the same person reacts differently at a different time.
Vijay Deverakonda
The way you react to each challenge forms who you become.
Paolo Nutini
I’ve literally never seen a crowd react to a band the way they react to the Polysics. Signing them to MySpace Records was an obvious choice. I wanted to be the person to bring this seasoned band to a new culture and audience. I’m really proud of them.
Tom Anderson
I’ve always been interested in how people think, how they react to challenges in their lives – what makes people tick. I’ve also always been passionate about social issues and causes, and I wanted to make films that addressed important issues in very human terms.
Barbara Kopple
The instincts and reaction and having to move – that’s what football is. You have to learn how to deal with different adjustments, and know how to react to different types of plays. And do it on the fly.
Eric Berry
I can only hope that the Democrats do tone down the rhetoric. The rhetoric has been outrageous: The finger-pointing, the tone, the angst, and the anger directed at Donald Trump, his supporters – really, then, some people react to things like that; people get angry as well, and you fuel the fires.
Chris Collins
Glacial pace is actually an incorrect concept. The glaciers move a lot faster and they react a lot faster than people imagine.
James Balog
I don’t do anything specific for the stage. I’m just myself. I can’t stand still for five seconds. I’m normally quite active, so that just comes out on stage. If I see people react to me and my music, I just have to give back and express myself.
Shreya Ghoshal
Maybe there’s some kind of modeling that can be tedious, like catalogue modeling, but there’s a kind of modeling, with runways or working with Richard Avedon, that’s not very far from acting. Besides the fact that you don’t have a partner to react to, the body language is the same.
Isabella Rossellini
With cinema it’s a different ballgame, you really don’t know how the audience will react, so one has to tread carefully.
Hiten Tejwani
I live my everyday life as a person, and I react to my photos from a certain distance. When I look at a photo, I detach myself and look at it as a product – not as me, Isabella.
Isabella Rossellini
Most of my favorite fictional couples are distinctly different. Light and dark, good and evil, boring and wild… whatever! They’re more fun to experience and definitely more fun to write. You have all these levels, and you know they’re not going to react to situations the same way.
Kate Leth
I guess I’m bothered by how fans react to certain things and how they’re interested in certain things over true talent. I’ve always appreciated talent over everything else.
Demetrious Johnson
I’ve had times when layups didn’t go in, you start second-guessing yourself. It’s how you come at it and how you react to it.
Paul Millsap
Few things trigger fear and misconception more than economic tribulation, and nothing prompts elected officials to react with more simplistic populism.
David Harsanyi
Many times, people would react to the fact that I looked different, and I would think that there was something wrong with me – that maybe one of my shirt buttons was undone or something. It took 20 or 30 years to get used to it.
