I've been a poser for f--ing years. I say, pose your arse off. You know, have a laugh.
The hall-mark of American humour is its pose of illiteracy.
There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt.
Pose? I don't pose. What am I? Paris Hilton or something?
So there might be a kind of collective effort that allows for those risks to be taken, pose a certain danger but not a suicidal one.
If you get bored of doing it (Peacock Pose) with two hands, try it with one.
The real question is how do you survive at the same time you pose those risks? Because you need to survive. And it seems to me that you survive in community or in solidarity, with others who are taking the risk with you.
Strong countries and strong presidents talk to their adversaries. That's what Kennedy did with Khrushchev. That's what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That's what Nixon did with Mao. I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela - these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying we're going to wipe you off the planet.
I believe we should use any and all means necessary to take out people who pose a threat to us and our friends around the world. And it’s widely reported that drones are being used in drone strikes, and I support that and entirely, and feel the president was right to up the usage of that technology, and believe that we should continue to use it, to continue to go after the people that represent a threat to this nation and to our friends.
I write songs about my own experiences. You can't lie to yourself. You can't pose to yourself.
My dog, Puffy. The dog is the perfect portrait subject. He doesn't pose. He isn't aware of the camera.
All I have to do is pose for a picture and I'm getting married to the person standing next to me.
With modeling, you pose. You want to look your best all the time. With acting, you have to be aware of the camera, but the more you show your imperfections, the better you're going to be.
You have to begin by posing questions to your unconscious mind, and then listening very carefully for the answers. If you pose the right kinds of questions, and listen well, you can begin to tap into the power of your unconscious mind.
Think about it: Iran, Cuba, Venezuela. These countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us.
The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.
I do not believe you could intellectually comprehend all the different forces playing upon us. Yet what you can do is become very silent, so you are not distracted and then begin to feel how these forces playing upon us are affecting us, and according to how we feel, we can then make intelligent decisions as to how far, how deep, how much, we explore in any pose.
In each pose there should be repose.
I just assume I'm right. Partially out of conviction and partially as a pose.
I've been asked to pose for Playboy.
