9 QUOTES WITH «OVERTLY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word overtly.
1
Banks
Human emotion is more interesting than anything. Everything that is so overtly sexual is not real. Real emotion is sexy. It's vulnerable and raw.
2
Joel Coen
Sometimes, in certain stories, I think we know at the outset essentially what the tone is going to be, or it becomes important that we're groping toward some kind of story with a certain kind of tone that we both get somehow. But I don't think how that's combined with other elements is ever in any way overtly discussed.
3
Greg Ginn
I didn't have a lot of overtly political songs. I think it was more the actions of the group that were threatening to the authorities, and also our political philosophies apart from the music.
4
Warren Kole
I think I'm at a place where I haven't really been encountered by anyone overtly strange. But people think they know me.
5
Lorde
I'd refer to myself as a feminist. I don't think my music is overtly rooted in feminism. I'm a teenager, and 95 percent of my friends are boys, and that's just the way I've always been.
6
Ronnie Musgrove
Conservatives are telling elected leaders that expansion of Medicaid comes at a moral - or more overtly, a political - price. At what price are they willing to go back on years of proclaiming 'socialized medicine' as the slippery slope to 'rationing of health care,' 'death panels' and other claims far too gruesome to mention in polite company?
7
Randy Newman
Mostly, I don't write overtly personal stuff.
8
Jeri Ryan
It doesn't bother me that Seven has such an overtly sexual presence, because she has no concept of what effect that physical package would have on some male member of the crew. That's what's fun, her innocence.
9
Deborah Kara Unger
My family are doctors and pilots and people involved in indigenous First Nation land rights; not overtly artistic.
