How to use instant in a sentence?
I really love a live audience. It’s always going to be who I am, i love being in front of people, not necessarily in a role. I love the instant gratification between the artist and the audience. That is my favorite relationship. In my opinion, audience is a character and their role is important. I listen to them, and they tell me what they want. I just love it.
You must not for one instant give up the effort to build new lives for yourselves. Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life. This is not an easy struggle. Indeed, it may be the most difficult task in the world, for opening the door to your own life is, in the end, more difficult than opening the doors to the mysteries of the universe.
… You know, I think our fans have proven to us over the years, it’s a true testament to longevity in the career world of today because it’s hard to have hit after hit after hit. there's kind of more ways to get in trouble now as an artist, but that rise to fame is so instant now with YouTube, with Twitter, Instagram and all that stuff.
In this modern age of cell phone video and instant analysis on the Internet, I would ask that we keep in mind that a thorough and comprehensive investigation is detailed and time intensive.
We need instant, really strong fire, otherwise, I think it will kill the business.
