One of the things that`s great about Training Day (2001) is that you have two very distinct personalities, but it`s true: it also has a great plot. If you can do both, it`s incredibly exciting for the audience. Oftentimes, you have art films that have no narrative to speak of and instead offer characterization; then you have mainstream movies that are simple formulas, A-B-C-D. Training Day (2001) is a good combo.
- Ethan HawkeThe thing is that, they all had real strong personalities and real distinct identities, and I don`t find most of the groups that are coming out now really do.
- Lester BangsWe all have our distinct things. Leaf (brother Joaquin Phoenix) was the family clown--very witty, very smart. Mom had to work a lot, so Rainbow (sister Rain Phoenix) was the mother and the older sister and trendsetter. Liberty (sister Liberty Phoenix) was always the most physical, like an acrobat, very nimble and strong, a really beautiful girl. And Summer (sister Summer Phoenix) was the youngest, the baby of the family, with big brown eyes and blonde hair, more American-looking.
- River Phoenix(When he`s performing live, Day says, there`s a distinct difference between the big gigs and the little shows.) There`s an intimacy lost on the big audiences, but there`s also a sort of cool kind of buzz that you get from it too, like `Wow -- there are 10,000 people here.` It tends to be a little more high energy, and you try to capture as many people as you can; whereas with a small show, you reveal a little bit more personality. I almost feel like I`m there hanging out with them or something, ... We mix it up. I do little intimate shows just because if I go a long time without doing them, it gets kind of weird -- like I`m playing at people.
- Howie DayThat`s when I hit the ground. So in the instant that that round landed and blew me in the air, I had those separate and distinct thoughts. The guy who was standing right next to where I had been standing had a hole in his back I could put my fist into.
- Ed Bradley(March 1997) We use up words like "spiritual" so fast in this culture. Twenty years ago "spiritual" had a distinct meaning. But now there`s a lot of jack-off thinkers who just love to talk about the spiritual. And there is a lot of bogus -- is "bogosity" a word? It should be -- a lot of bogosity in these spiritual seekers. So you have to find another way to express it. I just call it "how I fit.
- George CarlinI do not believe the public will want spoken comedy. Motion pictures and the spoken arts are two distinct arts.
- Harold LloydWhat we learned quite early on is what was really important to early British pop that we produced-and this is where we were distinct from almost everybody else in this respect-is that it had to reflect exactly what the audience wanted us to say.
- Pete TownshendThere is a distinct lack of efforts on the part of the singers, as a result of which the songs being rendered are sans tone and emotions
- Asha BhosleStraight-away the ideas flow in upon me, directly from God, and not only do I see distinct themes in my mind`s eye, but they are clothed in the right forms, harmonies, and orchestration.
- Johannes BrahmsThere are two distinct advantages here. The pitches don`t break as much and because of the outfield, you can get a lot of hits even when you don`t put a good swing on the ball.
- Jeromy BurnitzWe want it closed because we feel we have a distinct advantage if its closed. But I`m a 30-year-old man and I can deal with it. It`s not like they stole my dog.
- Morgan EnsbergHaving some kind of political alignment between nations and their oil companies is bringing a distinct competitive advantage. That advantage will not be going to the stateless multinationals.
- John KnightEarly experiences convinced me that animals can and do have quite distinct personalities.
- Chuck JonesDylan`s is the kind of model we envisioned, and in the same way we see this book bringing out the distinct voice of Eric Clapton. He will be intensely involved in the book writing process.
- David Drake(The astronomers credit Hubble`s superb vision for finding the disk.) Only Hubble has the resolution in blue light to observe this disk, ... It is so small and so distinct from the surrounding red stars that we were able to use it to probe into the very dynamical heart of Andromeda. These observations were taken by the members of our team that built STIS. We designed its visible channel specifically to seize such an opportunity - to measure starlight closer to a black hole than in any other galaxy outside our own.
- Richard GreenThey`ve got a distinct advantage over a lot of teams with that inside game.
- Kevin PhillipsI want to emphasize that the H5N1 subtype detected in Manitoba is completely distinct from the strain currently present in Asia,
- Brian EvansI want to emphasize that the H5N1 subtype detected in Manitoba is completely distinct from the strain currently present in Asia.
- Brian EvansWe`re Jews, my family, and Jews break down into two distinct subcultures: book Jews and money Jews. We were money Jews.

- Rob JohnsonIn enterprise terms, an IT shop cannot just throw money at technology or business problems to make them go away, they need people with a distinct understanding of both the problems and the solutions.
- James TurnerThe best teaching I ever experienced was at Exeter. Yale was a distinct letdown afterward.
- John KnowlesWhen men exercise their reason coolly and freely on a variety of distinct questions, they inevitably fall into different opinions on some of them. When they are governed by a common passion, their opinions, if they are to be called, will be the same.
- A. Townsend PetersonThe Church, however, is a self-governing society, distinct from the State, having its officers and laws, and, therefore, an administrative government of its own.
- Alan FeducciaToday`s terrorists are pursuing a distinct route. They are increasingly attacking civilians in symbolic targets, such as those of economic importance, or venues of bustling life like public transportation or entertainment, like nightclubs.
- Alan LloydAnthropology never has had a distinct subject matter, and because it doesn`t have a real method, there`s a great deal of anxiety over what it is.
- Alan LoewensteinWhat an immense power over the life is the power of possessing distinct aims. The voice, the dress, the look, the very motion of a person, define and alter when he or she begins to live for a reason.
- Albissaty Saleh AllazamIt now seems very likely that many of the 64 triplets, possibly most of them, may code one amino acid or another, and that in general several distinct triplets may code one amino acid.
- Alex AttwoodThe practice of the law is a perfectly distinct art.
- Alex FisherThe insurgents are Baathists and Sunnis in Iraq who have as their goal a separate and distinct one of toppling the government that is there and creating their own.
- Alexis GordonAny long work in which poetry is persistent, be it epic or drama or narrative, is really a succession of separate poetic experiences governed into a related whole by an energy distinct from that which evoked them.
- Alisha MarquetteOftentimes, when constituencies or sectors of opinion are distinct, when they are confronted with a situation where they`re going to have to make a serious compromise, they react very negatively publicly, but they also recognize when they step back that this is right.
- Alison LewisRace and class are rendered distinct analytically only to produce the realization that the analysis of the one cannot proceed without the other. A different dynamic it seems to me is at work in the critique of new sexuality studies.
- Allen BeckThis idea that males are physically aggressive and females are not has distinct drawbacks for both sexes.
- Allen LeePure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured.
- Amy BeanerThere are distinct duties of a poet laureate. I plan a reading series at the Library of Congress and advise the librarian. The rest is how I want to promote poetry.
- Anais FarajIt follows also, that the active power, of which only we can have any distinct conception, can be only in beings that have understanding and will.
- Andrew DiDonatoThis administration and the leadership in Congress appear to be intent on valuing wealth over work, thereby placing working families at a distinct disadvantage.
- Andrew FaganThe magazine and Internet program that Harmon Media Group has put together for us has allowed our company to command the attention of thousands of homebuyers with an innovative publication that unites a sophisticated print and Web marketing initiative. Our agents have a distinct marketing advantage on every listing call that our competition simply cannot match.
- Angelo BottiniI don't think that veterans have a distinct advantage, ... At most, it causes somebody to take another look at them.
- Ann BeattieWe did a lot of arm-twisting and cajoling. She doesn`t do many recitals, and most of her work is in Europe, and I got the distinct impression that she isn`t the kind to go from city to city, doing a concert each night.
- Annette GeddesWe recognize that and are operating the business in a distinct way.
- Anthony CampanellaI got the distinct impression Warne was the pseudo-captain during the fifth Test. There is no doubt Warne has an amazing cricket brain - but not only that, any cricket he plays is full of passion, (courage) and determination.
- Anthony WalkerWe are focused on changing the economics of mobile email adoption with Nokia Business Center. As the leading mobile phone manufacturer in the world, we have the distinct advantage of being able to make a great mobile business device that can be used to make phone calls, do email, or use other applications. Considering 70 percent of people who use popular email devices also carry a mobile phone, the opportunity for us to provide one device and solution that perfectly addresses both the voice and data experiences is tremendous. In the current landscape, many industry players are going after a slice of the potential mobile email market. Nokia is going after the full 650 million corporate email inboxes. We want to knock down the barriers to mobilizing the entire corporate email market.
- Assadullah KhalidIt is a distinct honor to be selected as an International Truck and Engine Corporation Diamond Supplier. International has a reputation for holding all of their suppliers to a high standard. Our selection from such an exceptional group is a true mark of distinction for Mayflower Vehicle Systems and the Commercial Vehicle Group.
- Austen ArnaudIt`s unclear who the standard bearer of such a move would be as long as the official opposition and the renegade coalition faction are distinct electoral vehicles and thus do not have a single candidate. So such a move could turn out to be damaging for the opposition and expose their divisions. At this point, more anti-government loud noise would probably make them more comfortable than forcing such a vote.
- Barclays CapitalWhen you have two groups of populations that become isolated, they begin to drift apart. They adapt to different things to the point where?when they have the chance of coming back together?they no longer can breed and, at that point, are distinct species.
