Compared with other Indian film composers, I only write about six movies a year. Others write up to 60.
A. R. Rahman
When we were doing 'The West Wing,' the hardest thing about doing 'The West Wing' was being compared to yourself. You go out there and want every episode to be as good as your best episode. I wrote 88 episodes of 'The West Wing,' and when you do that, one of them is going to be your 88th best, so your 88th best better be pretty good.
Aaron Sorkin
America has an identity crisis. This is a relatively new country compared to the rest of the world, yet it's the bully that fronts to know war and democracy like none other, therefore leading the global arbitration on both fronts.
Abby Martin
Honestly, I wish I could be a part of all the remakes of my father's films. But on second thought, I wouldn't want to be a part of any. The thought of being compared to him is unnerving. I'd rather do my films than live in the fear of living up to his standards.
Abhishek Bachchan
Prison's a walk in the park compared with being sectioned, mate, it really is.
Adam Ant
Age discrimination is illegal. But when compared with discrimination against racial minorities and women, it is a second-class civil rights issue.
Adam Cohen
I have found that my fan base is a bit above average when compared to the common horror fan.
Adam Green
That's the thing I like about my sound. It's real raw and very unsafe compared to a solid state kind of sound.
Adam Jones
There are way more powerful climbers compared to me but I think I can really take advantage of all my power due to my technique.
Adam Ondra
Social media has lots of benefits, but compared to Christianity, it tends to group people by interests. Religion puts you with people who have nothing in common except that you're human.
Alain de Botton
The fact is that we are, compared to most other places, a very liberal country.
Alan Colmes
Compared to TV, 'Palookaville' was restriction-free, except we had no money and no time.
Alan Taylor
I spend so much time in the United States, and I really like this country. I like the people; I like the atmosphere. It's a confident country economically, compared to others.
Albina Shagimuratova
The money I have made and will be making means nothing to me compared to the fact that about half of the black people I meet - ranging from the most sophisticated to the least sophisticated - say to me, 'I'm proud of you.' I feel strongly about always earning that and never letting black people down.
Alex Haley
The simple facts of Chadian life - what it takes to survive in that kind of climate with nothing but a hut and some animals - stunned me. And this made me realize, perhaps for the first time, how easy my life was compared to those of people in less privileged societies.
Alex Honnold
Sometimes in a Premier League game the fans are a bit quiet but in Nigeria you just hear trumpets, everything. The atmosphere is so different compared to England.
Alex Iwobi
I would say each day I'm still growing and still learning, but negatives, obviously they're always going to criticise me for my goals and assists, which I need to add to my game if I want to be compared with the people I'm playing with.
Hiding behind a tougher outer image as a teenager feels cooler and safer compared to admitting, perhaps, that you're the very opposite.
Alex Lawther
London Fashion Week is so different from any of the others. Compared to the strictness in New York, London seems freer from commercial constraints. Truer to the process, to street style, to a sense of humour.
Alexa Chung
Actually, when I first started dropping weight to fight, my biggest worry was how my smaller body would look compared to the size of my massive head.
Alexander Volkanovski
Of the sayings of Christ in the Synoptic Gospels that can be compared to those in the fourth Gospel, there are one or two which I venture to think can only have been recorded on the authority of St. John.
Autumn is much redder in North America and east Asia than it is in northern Europe, and this can't be explained by temperature differences alone. These areas also have a greater proportion of ancient tree lineages surviving: trees have gone extinct at a higher rate in Europe compared with those other areas.
Compared to the United States, physicians in Europe have a much more conservative approach to joint replacement in general.
Kollywood allots big budget only for commercial films. Bollywood film industry is straightforward that way. When compared to Bollywood, Kollywood is fake. They keep churning out the same films.
I don't like being compared to anyone or being in a class with someone. I'm a teen actress and therefore I'm competing against Hilary Duff. We're different people like everyone else.
Compared to overdeveloped islands like Nassau, Bimini has kept its original charm. Walk the streets to see colorfully painted houses, funky shops, and trade greetings with friendly Biminites.
India allows you the luxury of a million inequalities. You can be a schoolboy selling tea to passengers sitting in a state transport bus, but you are royalty when compared to a shirtless, barefoot village boy, from what was traditionally considered an untouchable caste, living on snails and small fish - and sometimes rats.
Compared to other forms of drama, performance art is often thought of as inaccessible and overly artsy. I prefer to think of it as storytelling, something that has been with us through the ages and a part of every culture.
With regard to women, I'm not running as a woman - 'Vote for me!' But the fact of the matter is we have a very low percentage of women in our Legislature in this country compared to other nations in the western world.
When it comes to physical strength, someone may have a stronger upper body than lower body, or a stronger right arm compared to the left arm. Similarly, we're likely to excel in some areas of mental strength while struggling with others.
I certainly wouldn't want to be the man who was compared to John Ritter through my eyes.
I can't be compared to anybody else.
Indonesian writers are so far behind in terms of global exposure compared with the Philippines and Japanese writers.
Messi is always compared to Maradona, but he needs to win the World Cup because if you don't win the World Cup, you can't be up there with the very best.
If out of all mankind one finds a single friend, he has found something more precious than any treasure, since there is nothing in the world so valuable that it can be compared to a real friend.
Some people have compared the Klan images to ecclesiastical figures.
War is a blessing compared with national degradation.
I became a Conservative in the late 1980s because I could see that the Conservative party had transformed Britain's economy and our standing in the world compared to Labour in the 1980s.
Text input is certainly useful, but images and speech are a much more natural way for humans to express their queries. Infants learn to see and speak well before they learn to type. The same is true of human evolution - we've had spoken language for a long time compared to written language, which is a relatively recent development.
I think apart from the new spectacle that 'Chapter Two' brings compared to the first one, the scope, scale, bigger canvas, I'm proud of the emotional journey.
A movie is very different when you're writing the script and you're building a story compared to what the final product is.
I don't care what you do - baseball or politics - George W. Bush is always going to be compared to his father. I just want it to be an easy answer in 50 years - Who was the better player, me, or my kids? I want it to be my kids.
Today's Russia is not to be compared with the Soviet Union of back then.
I grew up pretty poor - not poor compared with people in India or Africa who are really poor, but poor enough so that the worry about money really cast a pall over your life a lot of the time.
I don't hate being compared with female musicians. I don't mind that at all. I have no problem with seeing connections between women's work.
I am often compared to actors who were launched with me. I feel blessed with whatever I have got so far.
If the press really thinks Obama is Lincoln, they ought to treat him like they treated Bush, 'cause that's how they treated Lincoln. His critics compared Lincoln to an ape; they called him an illiterate baboon.
Get more competition into the New Hampshire marketplace, and then we'll find that there will be insurers that will compete on convenience as compared to cost.
Brigitte Bardot is an icon, and her look is timeless. She is seen as one of the most beautiful women of all time. I feel very honored to be compared to her.
Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords - philosophy, art, poetry, love, scandal, and the weather.
