We don't know where our first impressions come from or precisely what they mean, so we don't always appreciate their fragility.
First impressions matter more in basketball than in any other sport, and they can be savored only in person. Players can't hide behind pads or helmets, so we can stare at them, evaluate every move they make: running, jumping, walking, even ogling the cheerleaders. We can see every ripple and tattoo. If they're lazy, we can tell.
First impressions matter. Experts say we size up new people in somewhere between 30 seconds and two minutes.
It's pretty simple, pretty obvious: that people's first impressions of people are really a big mistake.
The strangest part about being famous is you don't get to give first impressions anymore. Everyone already has an impression of you before you meet them.
I think first impressions are important when you pick up a script.
I recognize very much in Hopper that it does look like the United States; it looks like the 30's and my first impressions of everything, all of which I have to deal with and which gets mixed up in my work and probably gets mixed up in everybody else's work too.
I believe that first impressions are very important.
There's no first impressions anymore. You go to a job interview, and they'll probably Google you. It's a shame - people should play it a little closer to the chest as far as what information they release to the world. If I'm angry about something, I'm not going to take to my Twitter.
With me it's always about first impressions.
