It was in the Seventies but I still recall what was a good night for my club. Of course, the stadium has changed now but I have heard that the atmosphere is still the same.
~Carl Zeiss
~Carl Zeiss
It was interesting to do a completely fictional piece. You know, Saving Private Ryan was not a fictional piece! So the challenge was: How do you incorporate real emotions? How do you incorporate aspects that people are going to be able to identify with?
~Vin Diesel
~Vin Diesel
It was just at the end of the golden era of BBC comedy, which was fantastic.
~John Leeson
~John Leeson
It was just really, really tough getting anything when you were a female. Basically, I just took advantage of everything I could. But when people are going to flat out tell you they're not going to hire anyone that's female, there's not much you can do about it.
~Shannon Lucid
~Shannon Lucid
It was just using the liquid shampoo - the Russians have one very similar to the stuff we use on the Shuttle - you just wet your hair with it and then wipe it out.
~Shannon Lucid
~Shannon Lucid
It was kind of like songwriter's boot camp. You had to produce. You had to produce fast. You had to learn.
~Cynthia Weil
~Cynthia Weil
It was kind of ridiculous to carry it up to a certain point and then drop the ball or the bomb, like quitting the band right after we had signed to Virgin.
~Elliott Smith
~Elliott Smith
It was known in the mid 90s already that Saddam Hussein was a dangerous tyrant that he had already launched aggressions against Iran, he had invaded Kuwait.
~Douglas Feith
~Douglas Feith
It was like a classic thing with Emma. So I walked in and I slammed the door and everything fell off the wall on the set. It was my second or third scene and I was so embarrassed and scared and so nervous about what everyone would say, but everyone just packed up laughing.
~Dannii Minogue
~Dannii Minogue
It was like a nightmare working with these guys. Here's how I get through this film: the Weinsteins don't exist. I didn't speak to them.
~Terry Gilliam
~Terry Gilliam
It was more freeing, mainly because he's so free anyway. He just is in his performance. So to mimic someone doing a free performance, well, that's pretty freeing within itself.
~Michael Welch
~Michael Welch
It was more of their quirky show. It was more like a cult show. The ratings weren't really that high.
~Amy Sedaris
~Amy Sedaris
It was most exciting when people first came up on the stage and then when they came back for the encore. We wanted to make a show that kept on developing, that was interesting, so we tried to do that with our live shows.
~Neil Tennant
~Neil Tennant
It was my sister Maureen who was responsible for my becoming a Reagan.
~Michael Reagan
~Michael Reagan
It was not a friendly game, and Jerry certainly did not have friendliness in his eyes. He had an extra mean streak that day. He was out of control and probably should have been ejected.
~Roger Staubach
~Roger Staubach
It was not pre-arranged. It just happened that the driver made a demand and I just didn't feel like obeying his demand. I was quite tired after spending a full day working.
~Rosa Parks
~Rosa Parks
It was pretty extensive - we worked out 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 3 months, which I think is more than anybody in the Olympics. I thought well I don't need this, the girls need it, but it was a gift.
~David Carradine
~David Carradine
It was so quiet that morning in Paris that the heels of my two companions and myself were loud on the deserted pavements. It was a city of shuttered shops, and barred windows, and deserted avenues.
~Philip Gibbs
~Philip Gibbs
It was sort of good it happened because it broke the ice with everyone.
~Dannii Minogue
~Dannii Minogue
It was sort of his 'Brando' moment - his very 'method' moment. He just absorbed it and continued on.
~Barry Pepper
~Barry Pepper
It was terrible on dates, because I could never eat when I was on a date.
~Robert Barnes
~Robert Barnes
It was the era of Tab Hunter and Rock Hudson; they all had a certain look.
~Taylor Hackford
~Taylor Hackford
It was the spirit animating the mass and flowing from it, and it expressed the individuality of the building.
~Louis Sullivan
~Louis Sullivan
It was there that, through a mutual friend, I met John Waters - proving what I've always said: you meet the best people on field trips.
~Mink Stole
~Mink Stole
It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.
~Harper Lee
~Harper Lee
It was very early, and we were still like beta or alpha stage, and so we started receiving a ton of download. The server became overloaded, and that's when I realized that this had a huge market.
~Shawn Fanning
~Shawn Fanning
It was very serious and I wanted to do something really different so there was this comedy called TOP SECRET.
~Val Kilmer
~Val Kilmer
It was very, very cold and there were a number of injuries, self-inflicted injuries, because people just couldn't take the cold.
~Peter Scott
~Peter Scott
It was way out in the woods in a beautiful, huge log studio. Keith Richards came in and did the vocals with Levon. Again, a big party, but we did get a good cut out of it.
~Scotty Moore
~Scotty Moore
It was weird because I'd only been in L.A. for about six months and I had my first feature.
~Matthew McGrory
~Matthew McGrory
It wasn't about mechanics; it was about a feeling, wanting to give someone something, which in turn was really gratifying. That really resonated for me.
~Thomas Keller
~Thomas Keller
It wasn't conscious, but I guess that one book is the reaction to the other. The first is so imprisoned in a male point-of-view, and the second is a point-of-view that can go anywhere it wants.
~Jeffrey Eugenides
~Jeffrey Eugenides
It wasn't so much that I was all alone on stage, but it was the realization of how much you need the response-you need the audience to tell you where to go.
~Loretta Swit
~Loretta Swit
It wasn't until the movie came out that it all changed for us. Some people say it was the start of Ten Years After, but in another way, it was the beginning of the end.
~Alvin Lee
~Alvin Lee
It wasn't until two or three years ago that I actually learned that in the end he actually did kill someone. But that was a choice that he faced: to kill or be killed.
~Vanessa Kerry
~Vanessa Kerry
It were good to know the geometrical content, figure and situation of all the lands of a kingdom, especially according to its most natural bounds.
~William Petty
~William Petty
It will always be the same possibilities, in sum or on the average, that go on repeating themselves until a man comes along who does not value the actuality above idea. It is he who first gives the new possibilities their meaning, their direction, and he awakens them.
~Robert Musil
~Robert Musil
It will be a difficult couple of days. It's difficult now and it will be difficult tomorrow.
~Gary Neville
~Gary Neville
It will be a hard game if you think about winning a championship. We need to think about our own game at the moment and focus on getting good results especially over the Christmas period.
~Dennis Bergkamp
~Dennis Bergkamp
It will be about which candidate, which of the two candidates remaining, is best suited to make a positive difference in the lives of North Carolina families, and I submit to each of you tonight that I am that candidate and Elizabeth Dole is not.
~Erskine Bowles
~Erskine Bowles
It will be undertaken, of course, in the June or July summit, and then to bring NATO closer to Russia or vice versa is a way to move toward integration - toward the integration of Europe.
~Warren Christopher
~Warren Christopher
It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet.
~Wernher von Braun
~Wernher von Braun
It will never be mistaken for a high school gymnasium or a meeting room in a Midwestern motel.
~Donal Henahan
~Donal Henahan
It will stick with you and show up for better or worse in spite of all you or anyone else can do.
~Robert Henri
~Robert Henri
It won't do away with hierarchy totally, but the principal leader will be the person who most exemplifies the kind of organization and behavior required who is best able to create the conditions such organizations require.
~Dee Hock
~Dee Hock
It would be a dream come true if I could just go from studio to studio and play solos.
~Michael Schenker
~Michael Schenker
It would be a lot different for me because there is a lot of information that you need to know about as a player. How pitchers are pitching you, how defenses are playing, certain situations about certain pitchers.
~Ernie Banks
~Ernie Banks
It would be great to take one city street and turn it into a pedestrian corridor and see what kind of effect it has on the businesses in that area - It's the future I think.
~Stone Gossard
~Stone Gossard
It would be inaccurate to say that Churchill and I conversed. Like Gladstone speaking to Victoria, he addressed me as though I were a one-man House of Commons. It was superb.
~William Manchester
~William Manchester
It would perhaps be nice to be alternately the victim and the executioner.
~Charles Baudelaire
~Charles Baudelaire
It would require more hands to manage a stock of sheep, gather them from the hills, force them into houses and folds, and drive them to markets, than the profits of the whole stock were capable of maintaining.
~James Hogg
~James Hogg
It would've been hard to do something else, to as it were, run away from the circus and become an accountant.
~Samuel West
~Samuel West
It wouldn't kill me if I were never nominated or elected to anything.
~Sargent Shriver
~Sargent Shriver
It'll be all of our efforts together. It won't won't ever be exactly the way I imagined it. And that is, I think, an important lesson as well, is that in any group enterprise it's going to be the sum total of the group.
~James Cameron
~James Cameron
It'll be basically a live album, but it will also include songs, Judas Priest songs, the audience have never heard before, because we felt we wanted to give the kids something else, something they haven't already bought.
~Glenn Tipton
~Glenn Tipton
It'll become obvious that we've really been working against ourselves.
~Neale Donald Walsch
~Neale Donald Walsch
It's 85 million dollars and they got to be really careful because they are going to need me.
~Terry Gilliam
~Terry Gilliam
It's a big flash of all these things and whatever you take out of that statement's one statement, one mind, one statement, one act, one show, and all the songs are one.
~Alice Cooper
~Alice Cooper
It's a blast to watch. It's a lot more interesting live than it is on record. I mean, it really is a theatrical event. It's a sporting event! Cause you never know what's gonna happen.
~John Zorn
~John Zorn
It's a combination of melody and lyrics, not one without the other. It's a confluence of these different elements that makes something powerful.
~Michael Bolton
~Michael Bolton
It's a funny thing that when a man hasn't anything on earth to worry about, he goes off and gets married.
~Robert Frost
~Robert Frost
It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies.
~River Phoenix
~River Phoenix
It's a great story. It's available for anyone else who wants to try it. We're not brilliant. We're not unbelievable. We're just two people who hit a nerve. I think it can be done again and again and again. More people should try it.
~Jerry Moss
~Jerry Moss
It's a horrible feeling - there's nothing worse for any player than to be thinking at the back of your mind that there's something wrong with you.
~Jamie Redknapp
~Jamie Redknapp
It's a lot more comfortable, I must say. Ummm, I didn't think I'd be playing with another band, I kinda thought I was through with that, but I make an exception because they're nice people.
~Vivian Campbell
~Vivian Campbell
It's a marvelous feeling when someone says 'I want to do this song of yours' because they've connected to it. That's what I'm after.
~Mary Chapin Carpenter
~Mary Chapin Carpenter
It's a mistake to assume that Islamists always come from the slums. Indeed, many come from affluent families but for some reason just couldn't manage to integrate into Western society, even though they had good opportunities for advancement.
~Otto Schily
~Otto Schily
It's a mix of experiences that I think keeps me in touch with the common man. I'm not someone who's forgotten where he comes from.
~Mel Martinez
~Mel Martinez
It's a movie. It's entertainment. If other little people feel like they're being offended, it doesn't offend me, so just take it as it is.
~Verne Troyer
~Verne Troyer
It's a naive domestic Burgundy without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
~James Thurber
~James Thurber
It's a national concern, I mean how we dispose of nuclear waste in a safe way, how we deal with this incredible amount of nuclear waste we have created over the years.
~Tom Udall
~Tom Udall
It's a responsibility of the writer to get the reader out of the story somehow.
~Michael Ondaatje
~Michael Ondaatje
It's a sad commentary when I have to say that sometimes in our country we are real sensitive to race.
~Oscar Robertson
~Oscar Robertson
It's a spirit that was given me and the relationships and meeting all these great people, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong; through Max I met a lot of people too. My first album was with Benny Carter.
~Abbey Lincoln
~Abbey Lincoln
It's a surer way to a woman's heart to be interested in what she's thinking than what she's wearing or not wearing.
~Tina Louise
~Tina Louise
It's a tricky thing to deal with. Some of the foreign forces have married Bosnian woman, some of them really blended in, melted into the society.
~Warren Christopher
~Warren Christopher
It's a wonderful way to have a role on a series - you're not tied down totally and completely to a schedule.
~Lee Meriwether
~Lee Meriwether
It's about somebody initially knowing more about it than you do but eventually you learn a lot about it yourself and practise the skills and techniques that you've been taught.
~Lynn Davies
~Lynn Davies
It's about the pleasure of being in the mountains, traveling efficiently over the terrain, having that sense of dynamic motion which you don't get when you're on foot.
~Michael Kennedy
~Michael Kennedy
It's about you. If you win, it's you; if you lose, it's you. Black and white. Nowhere to hide.
~Greg Rusedski
~Greg Rusedski
It's absolutely absurd to even consider voting on Sunday alcohol sales. I am opposed to alcohol period. It doesn't do anybody any good in the long run. It's a dangerous drug.
~John Hunter
~John Hunter
It's all about the same thing, being able to pull people into a situation where you have a vision, and transport that vision off the page.
~Taylor Hackford
~Taylor Hackford
It's all false pressure; you put the heat on yourself, you get it from the networks and record companies and movie studios. You put more pressure on yourself to make everything that much harder.
~John Belushi
~John Belushi
It's all right for a woman to be, above all, human. I am a woman first of all.
~Anais Nin
~Anais Nin
It's almost like he's started to sound even more exotic the more people started doing him. I don't know why, but there's just something about Al Gore that makes me laugh.
~Dana Carvey
~Dana Carvey
It's almost like we need to brainwash ourselves to listen to what's really happening and not just to the propaganda and what the press shows us.
~Alison Lohman
~Alison Lohman
It's always a mixture of fiction and your own story. It's more I recreate atmospheres and moods through songs.
~Keren Ann
~Keren Ann
It's always been my formula to get the next picture set up before anyone's seen the last one.
~Alan Rudolph
~Alan Rudolph
It's always fun to walk down the street with or behind a really beautiful woman, for no reason other than to see how the world reacts to them.
~Jonathan Carroll
~Jonathan Carroll
It's always good to get a goal on your first shift, but this was a game it seemed everything was going in.
~Peter Forsberg
~Peter Forsberg
It's always good to go against your friends, especially when you come out victorious.
~Michael Finley
~Michael Finley
It's amazing how much trouble you can get in when you don't have anything else to do.
~Quincy Jones
~Quincy Jones
It's an old anarchist dream that people can take care of their own lives.
~Todd Gitlin
~Todd Gitlin
It's been a career filled with very low valleys and some wonderful, high peaks.
~Pat Morita
~Pat Morita
It's been all over the press, and schools are deciding to shut it down. We released a public announcement saying that we had some potential solutions that we were working with, and once we had something concrete we would start implementing it and approach schools.
~Shawn Fanning
~Shawn Fanning
It's been crazy trying to tour with a baby. But it's actually working out okay.
~Caroline Corr
~Caroline Corr
It's been President Clinton's dream that we'll have finally a fully integrated Europe.
~Warren Christopher
~Warren Christopher
It's been really good to have a goal and go after it. That feels good.
~Shannon Miller
~Shannon Miller
It's claustrophobic, and I think it is to do with the amount that we're exposing people to one particular point.
~Sean Booth
~Sean Booth
It's come to the point where you have people saying it's our Christian duty to embrace the homosexual movement. This is absurd.
~Randall Terry
~Randall Terry
It's creepy, knowing someone might be watching me. Why do they need that?
~Robert Stone
~Robert Stone
It's definitely a challenge not speaking and getting your point across to the audience. It's like back in the day when we had silent films.
~Verne Troyer
~Verne Troyer
It's difficult to have any animosity towards someone if you recognize that on so many levels they're exactly the same as you.
~Jonathan Taylor Thomas
~Jonathan Taylor Thomas
It's difficult working with very rich actors, because inevitably they become a little spoilt, and the managers and agents tend to control things more than is healthy.
~Mike Figgis
~Mike Figgis
It's easy for women to say they don't understand and ask a man for help. As the saying goes, boys play with toys, and girls play with boys.
~Tom Stewart
~Tom Stewart
It's easy to create a country, all you have to do is to think of a name for it.
~Robert Stone
~Robert Stone
It's exciting to do something like this because usually what happens in theater is that, after the first or second reading of a play, it falls apart completely and the rehearsal process is such that you begin to pick up the pieces and put it back together again.
~Treat Williams
~Treat Williams
It's extremely important to have a loyal fan base and be receptive to them.
~Mike McCready
~Mike McCready
It's fool's gold if you are winning games and are not playing the right way.
~Antonio Davis
~Antonio Davis
It's fun playing two roles. The roles provide a wonderful range of emotions. Stuart is childlike and sensitive. Adam is ruthless, outrageous. He's flamboyant. He does the unexpected.
~David Canary
~David Canary
It's fun to do something funny and have the director laughing. It makes you feel good.
~Jon Lovitz
~Jon Lovitz
It's funny about men and women. Men pay in cash to get them and pay in cash to get rid of them. Women pay emotionally coming and going. Neither has it easy.
~Hedy Lamarr
~Hedy Lamarr
It's funny because people outside this country are very interested in this kind of stuff but in this country, nada. Nothing. Zippo.
~Randy Gardner
~Randy Gardner
It's funny, because politically Spiegelman and I don't come from that different a place, but I view his approach as being intellectually dishonest.
~Ted Rall
~Ted Rall
It's funny, but when there are dominant teams, there are a number of people who rail about the fact that they're always seeing the Dallas Cowboys or the San Francisco 49ers or the Green Bay either in the playoffs or in the Super Bowl.
~Al Michaels
~Al Michaels
It's getting better and better. You know, guys are feeling more comfortable and they are not afraid to speak up and be a leader. I mean, our team, we have 25 players, we have about 25 leaders, too. So whatever someone says, people listen.
~Johnny Damon
~Johnny Damon
It's getting more and more difficult to define the nationality of a film because the financing and participants come from all over the world.
~Lasse Hallstrom
~Lasse Hallstrom
It's glorious, because the story is always moving forward through the dialogue. So I always felt on very safe ground with the script.
~John Crowley
~John Crowley
It's going to be used in the last days to get people to come against Christ, and that's the issue: they come against the Lord Jesus Christ. And in this new book, we show Christ coming to settle that big issue.
~Tim LaHaye
~Tim LaHaye
It's good to have a title that's not just one word. If you're gonna title it, you might as well try and say something.
~Damien Hirst
~Damien Hirst
It's great being blonde - with such low expectations it's easy to impress.
~Pamela Anderson
~Pamela Anderson
It's great to hear from people who have been touched by these songs. It has been good to know that the Lord is using this in ways I am not even aware of.
~Jim Cole
~Jim Cole
It's great to want to be part of something, but it's a different thing completely to believe wholly in some type of movement, and to give everything for that something.
~Brandon Boyd
~Brandon Boyd
It's great to watch someone get the most out of what they can do, whether they're a beautiful performer or just a really gritty performer. It's something to behold.
~John Turturro
~John Turturro
It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.
~Chris Cornell
~Chris Cornell
It's hard to think what should make your blood boil more - what happened to Billy Ray or what didn't happen to those who abused him. It's something we can't ignore.
~Morris Dees
~Morris Dees
It's hard when you see a scene where it's raining, and we have the rain machine, and you see it for 5 minutes, but that scene takes all day to shoot, and you do it with rain, and the dry off, and go back and do it again.
~Morris Chestnut
~Morris Chestnut
It's hard when your father's the coach. Sometimes you don't know where one leaves off and the other begins.
~Pete Maravich
~Pete Maravich
It's important we win and because of the players we have we should win some matches in style.
~Jamie Redknapp
~Jamie Redknapp
It's impossible to compare two bands. It would be like comparing two lovers.
~Dave Navarro
~Dave Navarro
It's in the act of having to do things that you don't want to that you learn something about moving past the self. Past the ego.
~Bell Hooks
~Bell Hooks
It's incredible, but I think a lot of people it shot over their heads 'cause they're used to just getting images and messing around with them, and for us to do something quite so 'designed' was a bit of a shock.
~Sean Booth
~Sean Booth
It's interesting because you feel on the one hand, we understand people from what the say, and in another sense, you'd think that you'd be able to convey more through dialogue.
~Adrien Brody
~Adrien Brody
It's just a matter of understanding what's necessary and discipline yourself to do it.
~Arthur Lydiard
~Arthur Lydiard
It's just often more interesting to write about one or more people who are being awful to other people because it makes for exciting, dramatic fare.
~Neil LaBute
~Neil LaBute
It's just someone has labelled us as having a different label to do what you do. I find that labels are the worst thing in the world for artistic expression.
~Ornette Coleman
~Ornette Coleman
It's just trying everyday to do the best you can and to enjoy what you have with the mixture of the venue and the sound and the crowd.
~Keren Ann
~Keren Ann
It's kind of a shame that it's even an issue. Not being gay, I can't fully appreciate how complicated that is. In the article, the interviewer asked me, and I said that if I were, I would just say it.
~Scott Wolf
~Scott Wolf
It's kind of fun being the cute, little one. In fact, I'm finding it hard to grow out of that.
~Katie Holmes
~Katie Holmes
It's kind of like trying to make straight lines from curves, but involving shapes that sort of dictate what the curves are, if you like, and the difference between two separate pieces creates a third transitional piece if you like.
~Sean Booth
~Sean Booth
It's like all guys want to do is make a dunk, grab their shirt and yell out and scream - they could be down 30 points but that's what they do. Okay, so you made a dunk. Get back down the floor on defense!
~Oscar Robertson
~Oscar Robertson
It's like an act of murder; you play with intent to commit something.
~Duke Ellington
~Duke Ellington
It's like any other dream, everyone takes out their hammer and chisel and go after that rock until finally somebody finishes it.
~Joe Morton
~Joe Morton
It's like the voice. We don't force a voice which we decide is lower than a lot of others, we teach it to sing in what we call their key, don't we?
~Ninette de Valois
~Ninette de Valois
It's like they had a backlash the first 11 years. I think the reason why it always seems like there's a backlash is because when bands are unknown, they only get written about by fans.
~Kim Deal
~Kim Deal
It's like this - these five members have been influenced of course by other groups, because that's where this generation's groups came from - an environment like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, and The Who. People like that.
~Alice Cooper
~Alice Cooper
It's like when you want to make a house... the technique is very important.
~Cecilia Bartoli
~Cecilia Bartoli
It's like Willie Nelson. You're an artist and you have different styles inside of you.
~Suzy Bogguss
~Suzy Bogguss
It's like with a girl: it's more fun to meet and slowly, gradually learn things about each other. A little mystery is always nice and it's interesting to still learn new things about someone you are involved with.
~Larry Wilcox
~Larry Wilcox
It's more about conception and touch and spirit and soul than whether my hardware was in place.
~Pat Metheny
~Pat Metheny
It's more fun in a way to do ensemble scenes, where you know your background, you know the scene, but you can't prepare because someone else is going to say something that is going to lead you off.
~Fred Willard
~Fred Willard
It's my motor, it's the thing that keeps me going and so when I have these auditions for these big movies, I can depend on myself because I've been working consistently.
~Nia Long
~Nia Long
It's my responsibility, and entirely my fault, Of course I regret it. It's the kind of locker-room conversation we all use, but as prime minister I shouldn't have used it.
~Brian Mulroney
~Brian Mulroney
It's necessary to track characters all the way through an opera. If you're dealing with more than one or two characters, it's very easy to forget that the others have lives of their own that feed into the story.
~Carlisle Floyd
~Carlisle Floyd
It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.
~Juliette Binoche
~Juliette Binoche
It's nice to feel the fans are behind you. You shouldn't concern yourself with things like that - but it does matter.
~Dan Marino
~Dan Marino
It's nice to have a great female composer in the program and add her color.
~Cecilia Bartoli
~Cecilia Bartoli
It's nice to know about something as soon as it happens, and obviously a newspaper can't provide that.
~Tabitha Soren
~Tabitha Soren
It's no accident that my first novel was called Americana. This was a private declaration of independence, a statement of my intention to use the whole picture, the whole culture.
~Don DeLillo
~Don DeLillo
It's no secret what's going on in baseball. At least half the players are using steroids.
~Ken Caminiti
~Ken Caminiti
It's not about retro or modern, it's about this note or that note, which sounds better?
~Dan Hicks
~Dan Hicks
It's not as if I'm trying to write crossword puzzles to which one might find an answer at the back of the book or anything like that.
~Paul Muldoon
~Paul Muldoon
It's not difficult in South Africa for the ordinary person to see the link between capitalism and racist exploitation, and when one sees the link one immediately thinks in terms of a socialist alternative.
~Joe Slovo
~Joe Slovo
It's not enough to hit the notes. There is no point in the singers just standing there and sounding wonderful if they're not connecting with the characters they are portraying.
~Bruce Beresford
~Bruce Beresford
It's not just a hurricane. It's the demand for gas in China... We're paying $3 a gallon, and the oil companies are making historic profits every quarter.
~Ron Klein
~Ron Klein
It's not just about a coach telling you what to do and just following it unthinkingly.
~Lynn Davies
~Lynn Davies
It's not like that anymore really, but back in the day, nobody would let the Misfits open up for them, not the Ramones, not the Cramps, nobody.
~Glenn Danzig
~Glenn Danzig
It's not like, I don't know, if Madonna has a new record out, then everybody from Bangkok to Birmingham knows what its called and can buy it the same week. But our stuff is not in that mass market.
~Evan Parker
~Evan Parker
It's not that complicated. If you hear something and it makes you want to hear it again, that's the ticket. You have to be lucky enough to find geniuses, welcome them and get out of their way.
~Jerry Moss
~Jerry Moss
It's not that difficult to win. It's more difficult to win consistently and stay on top.
~Jim Otto
~Jim Otto
It's not that I dislike many people. It's just that I don't like many people.
~Bryant Gumbel
~Bryant Gumbel
It's not the hair on your head that matters. It's the kind of hair you have inside.
~Garry Shandling
~Garry Shandling
It's not the last one. Five's out, six is coming out in November, that's a single chapter, and then seven is the big horrifying one. And I think a couple after that to wrap the thing up.
~Eddie Campbell
~Eddie Campbell
It's not the networks, it's the advertisers who want to appeal to the young males who go to the movies and buy all of this stuff.
~Sharon Gless
~Sharon Gless
It's of course understandable that people want to know about actors in their favourite series.
