~Raul Julia

~Robert Fitzgerald

~Beau Bridges
~Beau Bridges
I wouldn't totally rule out doing Letterman or the Tonight Show if I had a set that I just happened to write that I thought was funny but was still appropriate for network censors. But I'm not going to go out of my way.
~Joe Rogan
~Joe Rogan
I wrapped "Buffy" and I always felt on "Buffy" that they wanted to keep me younger for a specific reason. It seemed like I was getting younger every year that I was on the show. I think there was a reference to me being 15, then 14.

~Jackie Collins

~Gaylord Perry
~Gaylord Perry

~Daniel Pinkwater
~Daniel Pinkwater

~Delta Goodrem
~Delta Goodrem

~Kobe Bryant
~Kobe Bryant
I'll get pretty much everything the way I want it. I've always dreamed of a beach wedding.
~Nicole Appleton
~Nicole Appleton
I'll get to the force field of this hostility, why it's there, why the rage is in any of us, why the trash takes place, whether or not it's between me and a couple of hecklers in the audience or between this country and another nation, the rage.
~Michael Richards
~Michael Richards
I'll not listen to reason... reason always means what someone else has got to say.
~Elizabeth Gaskell

I'll often rush out from Dark Shadows, having made a 5.30PM appointment, working for a couple of hours.
~Thayer David
~Thayer David

~John Deacon
~John Deacon
I'll tell you something not for public consumption in my lifetime. That's how I found out. That I was different. While dancing. You understand?
~Cesar Romero
~Cesar Romero
I'm 72-years-old. There's not a hell of a lot they can do to me. I will continue to report what I see and what I feel to be true.
~Robert Novak

~Al Goldstein
~Al Goldstein
I'm a graduate of Princeton, and I just want to say you don't have to go to an Ivy League school to be on the Supreme Court.
~Richard Land
~Richard Land
I'm a great dog fanatic. My own dog died a little while ago and I take it very personally when things die - it's a major offence.
~Clive Barker
~Clive Barker
I'm a high-risk taker on the court in the sense of trying to squeeze things in there.
~Jason Kidd
~Jason Kidd
I'm a huge fan of world cinema, because each country uses cinema in a very individual way.
~Mike Figgis
~Mike Figgis

~Chely Wright
~Chely Wright
I'm a self-taught musician aside from what I've been able to pick up from other players.
~Walter Becker
~Walter Becker

~Sally Schneider
~Sally Schneider
I'm a shepherd, not a sheep, and I've always prided myself on being a leader and not a follower.
~Dustin Diamond
~Dustin Diamond
I'm a single mum and my daughter came from a really potentially tragic situation. If I had not adopted her she was kind of like a lost lamb.
~Ann Wilson
~Ann Wilson
I'm a Southern girl. I like when they open the door and pull out a chair. I'm really into a man's man.
~Brooke Burns
~Brooke Burns
I'm a storyteller - that's the chief function of a director. And they're moving pictures, let's make 'em move!
~Howard Hawks
~Howard Hawks

~Hedy Lamarr
~Hedy Lamarr
I'm a true believer in karma. You get what you give, whether it's bad or good.
~Sandra Bullock
~Sandra Bullock
I'm a writer first and an editor second... or maybe third or even fourth. Successful editing requires a very specific set of skills, and I don't claim to have all of them at my command.
~Lynn Abbey
~Lynn Abbey
I'm about to challenge for the Maryland Cup in the next couple of years, as an owner, a trainer, and a rider.
~Davy Jones

~Bryan Singer
~Bryan Singer
I'm all over the place. As you may have seen from the credits, I write with everybody.
~Michael McKean
~Michael McKean
I'm also going to direct this movie. It's a turn of the century piece called Ge ROUGE. It's got zombies with some early New Orleans voodoo.
~Glenn Danzig

I'm always happy to have the President visit North Carolina. Unfortunately, the citizens of North Carolina who could be most adversely affected by the President's plan have not been invited to the discussion.
~Mel Watt
~Mel Watt
I'm always happy when I'm cleaning, and besides, I had just found out that I was going to have a baby.
~Peggy Lee
~Peggy Lee
I'm always interested in the working class people. I am one. They're subjugated, they're paid very little and they can make it in show biz.
~Taylor Hackford
~Taylor Hackford
I'm always making a comeback but nobody ever tells me where I've been.
~Billie Holiday
~Billie Holiday

~Sean Patrick Thomas

I'm always sort of reflecting on what I do on what I've done. Usually before I make a new album, I'll listen to the previous albums just to see where I've been.
~Lenny Kravitz
~Lenny Kravitz
I'm an action player. I like to be aggressive. I don't like to be on the run. I like to feel like I have the fates in my hands and that through my skill or lack thereof I control my fate.
~Eugene Jarvis
~Eugene Jarvis
I'm an athlete rep, so I'll be available if they need me for anything.
~Shannon Miller
~Shannon Miller
I'm an efficient, good, professional reporter. But I also write. And so what I try to do is write about places that I know that I care about intensely and write about them in a way that conveys the fact that I care.
~Alma Guillermoprieto
~Alma Guillermoprieto
I'm an expert witness in a case that's in appeal about a guy who allegedly misappropriated source code from a major, major company - he actually worked there and then apparently they found it on his laptop later.
~Kevin Mitnick

I'm an underdog person, so I align myself with those who seem to be not considered valuable in polite society.
~Jessica Hagedorn
~Jessica Hagedorn

~Jodi Rell
~Jodi Rell
I'm as anxious as any viewer would be to see what Temple is going to do next. All I know is that in the second half of the season, he's going to have more sexual tension developing. And it's a great cast - they're all Broadway actors except for me. I aspire to that.
~Sean Patrick Thomas
~Sean Patrick Thomas
I'm at the depot, and I'm not going anywhere. That's better to deal with than having to deal with the unknown. And the unknown is they don't want to fail. They don't want to pay the price unless there's a guarantee they're going to get there.
~Mark Spitz
~Mark Spitz
I'm aware that, from the outside, this looks like I've got quite an ego.

~Bob Beauprez
~Bob Beauprez
I'm constantly being influenced by the soul that's directly in front of me.

I'm constantly watching people. Watching their strengths and weaknesses. I find myself going into theater less and less, let alone horror. I gave that up when I was seven or eight years old.
~Jonathan Frid
~Jonathan Frid
I'm content to stand on tradition. I'm even more content to wipe my feet on it.
~Aaron Allston
~Aaron Allston
I'm criticized by the feminists, by the Jewish establishment, by Canadian nationalists. And why not? I've had my pot shots at them. I'm fair game.
~Mordecai Richler

~Lucinda Williams
I'm definitely not ready to move into something else. I'm having so much fun.
~Suzy Bogguss
~Suzy Bogguss
I'm divorced from her. I'm glad the divorce is over. If she would channel her creations in a positive direction it would serve everyone.
~Charlie Gonzalez
~Charlie Gonzalez
I'm doing a very funny show in which we talk about issues. I speak at Aids charities and things. It's great to do something fun with our days and yet we're told we're doing something important.
~Eric McCormack

I'm excited about being an owner, it's got my competitive juices going. I'm scared, but excited as well.
~Roger Staubach
~Roger Staubach
I'm flattered that so many baseball people think I'm a Hall of Famer. But what's hard to believe is how one-hundred and fifty plus people have changed their minds about me since I became eligible, because I haven't had a base hit since then.
~Richie Ashburn
~Richie Ashburn
I'm friends with Carla Olsen and she's doing a lot of producing these days. She's getting quite a little collection of records that she's produced. She's real busy.
~Kathy Valentine
~Kathy Valentine
I'm frustrated by something, it's my fault for exposing myself to it in the first place. The rumor mill always seemed like a grass fire to me. Why walk out in the middle of the field, it's just going to flame out and go away just like everything else does?
~Amy Grant
~Amy Grant
I'm getting better now, but I used to be incredibly awkward with girls. I think any guy who says 'I've never had an awkward moment with a girl' is a liar.
~Daniel Radcliffe
~Daniel Radcliffe
I'm getting those familiar feelings, and I'm just going to enjoy the process of getting to know someone again.
~Kevin Costner

I'm getting to the point where they see me as a good actor, rather than just a good guy who can act.
~Morris Chestnut
~Morris Chestnut
I'm glad that it didn't take as long to get Shepard off the ground as it's taken this series. I'd begun to think the Congo would be ahead of us in the space race before Whispering Smith ever got on the air.
~Audie Murphy
~Audie Murphy
I'm going to fight until the end. My husband is worth it. He wanted me to have it. He was worth a lot. He was a very, very wealthy man.

~Ajay Devgan
~Ajay Devgan
I'm going to Malaysia to try and win a million dollars... how exciting is that?
~Colleen Haskell
~Colleen Haskell
I'm going to take the kids away over Christmas but I don't, I've written 14 musicals now, I don't want to rush into doing something just for the sake of doing it. I want to do it when I find a story.
~Andrew Lloyd Webber
~Andrew Lloyd Webber
I'm going to vote in support of the president of the United States in keeping the troops in Iraq until the president and our military is convinced that the mission is complete.
~John Culberson
~John Culberson
I'm guess I'm up to about 70% of normal, which is a real relief. My doctor gave me clearance to go out in public again, so I've been able to go to the store and help out a little bit around the house.
~Wil Wheaton
~Wil Wheaton
I'm happy being myself, which I've never been before. I always hid in other people, or tried to find myself through the characters, or live out their lives, but I didn't have those things in mine.
~Angelina Jolie

I'm heartened by the growing awareness of global warming among important communities and organizations in our nation.
~Jim Clyburn

~Griffin Dunne
~Griffin Dunne
I'm in the process of trying to find something that I could do on my own.
~Loretta Devine
~Loretta Devine
I'm in this position where I can afford to wait, I'm lucky enough to be financially secure to not have to do anything that's thrown at me. You know the next couple of jobs are going to be pretty crucial in terms of how you're perceived by people. So I'm just waiting.
~Dominic Monaghan
~Dominic Monaghan
I'm inclined to think that a military background wouldn't hurt anyone.
~William Faulkner
~William Faulkner
I'm interested in what makes ordinary people, like yourself, tick the way you do. And the way I tick. And the way somebody else ticks.

~Glenn Danzig
~Glenn Danzig
I'm just steadily building myself up as Kelly Rowland, not just Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child, which is a blessing to be able to do that.
~Kelly Rowland
~Kelly Rowland
I'm just truly out of things to say. I'm on the record about everything.
~Thomas Wilson
~Thomas Wilson
I'm just very proud of Austin, what can I say? It was just a fun little movie and I never had any idea that it was going to turn into this.
~Mimi Rogers
~Mimi Rogers
I'm kind of in between a goody-goody and a rebel. I'm not bad, but I'm not good either. I'm a little crazy.
~Michelle Wie
~Michelle Wie
I'm kind of the town pump. I think I have a pretty good ear for what sounds good in this style.
~Michael McKean
~Michael McKean
I'm lazy. But it's the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn't like walking or carrying things.
~Lech Walesa
~Lech Walesa
I'm like the universe; either expanding or contracting at any given moment. The most that I had put on was about 35, 36 pounds, and I've taken all of that off.
~Sean Astin
~Sean Astin
I'm living out a childhood fantasy. Our house is in a historic district of a small town that I used to read about in storybooks.
~Patty Duke
~Patty Duke
I'm lucky if I find one movie a year that's worth doing, and when I do find one, it usually only takes 20-30 days to shoot.
~Kevin Spacey
~Kevin Spacey
I'm massively talented, and very, very beautiful in person; the public don't really realise that.
~Julie Walters
~Julie Walters
I'm more akin to football than I think anything else because that's what I played in high school.
~Bobby Sherman
~Bobby Sherman
I'm more comfortable with whatever's wrong with me than my father was whenever he felt he failed or didn't measure up to the standard he set.
~John Malkovich
~John Malkovich
I'm more likely to lose my temper on a film set than almost anywhere. Often the level of idiocy is so exalted that it's impossible to comprehend.
~John Malkovich
~John Malkovich
I'm more of a tomboy than anything and then you see your name on these Top 50 Most Beautiful People lists and you're like, "What?"
~Lisa Marie Presley
~Lisa Marie Presley
I'm more of like a recreational surfer, not a consist surfer. Some people get out every week or every day.
~Marguerite Moreau
~Marguerite Moreau
I'm more prone to his '70s material, which is what I was around for and watched a lot. I listen to a lot of that stuff. It probably influenced me quite a bit. I'm more drawn to the darker, sadder songs.
~Lisa Marie Presley
~Lisa Marie Presley
I'm never a person who likes anything I've done. It's just the way it is. Twenty years later, I can look at something I did, and I'm still thinking, 'You know, that could have been better if you had done it this way or that way.
~Robert Guillaume
~Robert Guillaume
I'm never pleased with anything, I'm a perfectionist, it's part of who I am.
~Michael Jackson
~Michael Jackson
I'm not a big radio guy, I don't listen to whatever is the hip new thing.

~Noel Coward

~Van Morrison
~Van Morrison
I'm not afraid of heights. I rock climb. I can repel off the side of a building.
~Kate Hudson
~Kate Hudson
I'm not after a closed system, I mean I'm after a complicated system in structure, but as far as watching it, I don't think that everything should be decided.
~Mark Morris
~Mark Morris
I'm not an historian but I can get interested - obsessively interested - with any aspect of the past, whether it's palaeontology or archaeology or the very recent past.
~Penelope Lively
~Penelope Lively
I'm not aware that I was consciously influenced by any director, though these things often happen unnoticed, submerged in the unconscious.
~William Peter Blatty
~William Peter Blatty
I'm not comfortable being around too many people. I don't like being out in public too much. I don't like going to bars. I don't like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don't always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.
~Adam Sandler
~Adam Sandler
I'm not constrained by being a genre writer. Any story I can imagine, I can cast as a fantasy novel and probably get it published.
~Lynn Abbey
~Lynn Abbey
I'm not going to let people get away with either a dishonest or inaccurate premise to what we're talking about because I think that does the viewer a disturbance.
~Dan Abrams
~Dan Abrams
I'm not going to rule out running for a second term. But, I think you have to be psychologically prepared to walk away from the job after four years. It's the only way that you cannot be influenced by those special interests.
~Dick Murphy
~Dick Murphy
I'm not going to worry about the Cure slipping down into the second division; it doesn't bother me because I never expected to be in the first division anyway.
~Robert Smith
~Robert Smith
I'm not good enough, technically, to be a classic musician. I lack discipline.

~Brian Eno
~Brian Eno
I'm not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.
~Niccolo Machiavelli
~Niccolo Machiavelli
I'm not into that Keith Richard trip of having all those guitars in different tunings. I never liked the Rolling Stones much anyway.
~Ritchie Blackmore
~Ritchie Blackmore
I'm not just a doormat. I'm not just being stepped on all over the place. If you look at the bulk of my material, it's about trying to find some strength through that.
~Lucinda Williams
~Lucinda Williams
I'm not living for when I have a Number One record or when I make a million trillion dollars. I'm not doing this to get somewhere else. I'm doing it because I'm doing it.'
~Dannii Minogue
~Dannii Minogue
I'm not looking to get away from anything. I like what I've done. I like what I get to do and I enjoy working with my friends. I loved those movies, but this is incredible.

~Juliette Binoche
~Juliette Binoche
I'm not really a bird person or an Audubon guy who studies them, but as I was around them, they interested me.
~Gordon Lightfoot
~Gordon Lightfoot
I'm not really a songwriter - I'm an interpreter. So in a sense I am an actress first and foremost. I act out the songs, and I lead with my heart.
~Diana Ross
~Diana Ross
I'm not really afraid of the dark, except if I'm walking. The thing that scares me the most is the possibility of walking into a wall and busting my lip.
~Vin Diesel

I'm not regretful about dropping acid, but I could have stopped it a little sooner.
~David Carradine
~David Carradine
I'm not saying my wife's a bad cook, but she uses a smoke alarm as a timer.
~Bob Monkhouse

~Jeb Bradley
~Jeb Bradley
I'm not strictly vegetarian, but meat doesn't play a big part in my diet.
~Katie Holmes
~Katie Holmes
I'm not supposed to talk about the snail. The snail is, well, congratulations to whoever noticed it. It's supposed to be a thing where you gotta look for it in every episode, and it's there three times in every episode.
~Steve Burns
~Steve Burns
I'm not sure people are ever completely comfortable telling pollsters what they do and don't think.
~Diane Sawyer
~Diane Sawyer
I'm not surprised we're seeing a lot of empty buildings in the cities we're going into. The way the game's played now, it's a pretty boring game.
~Mario Lemieux
~Mario Lemieux
I'm not the easiest person to live with. I'm kind of a slob. So for me to consider a roommate, it would have to be one of my sisters or something.
~Katie Holmes
~Katie Holmes
I'm not the hottest tuner on the planet, so I normally get someone to come out and do it for me.
~Caroline Corr
~Caroline Corr
I'm not the type of person who goes through all this effort for a movie, and then doesn't care if anybody sees it. I want them to see it, and I want them to see it on the big screen.
~Andy Garcia
~Andy Garcia
I'm not too fond of changing things into waltzes, but sometimes that works.
~Marian McPartland
~Marian McPartland
I'm not trying to say that it never hurt or that I never felt its sting, but I can honestly say that I never blamed anybody for racism. I have considered it more of a manifestation of humanity's problem rather than my personal problem.
~Robert Guillaume
~Robert Guillaume
I'm now an agnostic but I grew up on the King James version, which I'm eternally grateful for.
~Penelope Lively
~Penelope Lively
I'm obsessed with cooking shows, even though they make everything look so easy when it isn't.
~Joely Fisher
~Joely Fisher
I'm of a fearsome mind to throw my arms around every living librarian who crosses my path, on behalf of the souls they never knew they saved.
~Barbara Kingsolver
~Barbara Kingsolver
I'm often surprised by the level of media interest in us but I'm told that they find us interesting because we are different, even controversial.
~Steve Blake
~Steve Blake
I'm older. There's some sort of seniority. As a matter of fact, the seniority ebbs as you get older.
~Meryl Streep
~Meryl Streep
I'm on record as being understood to be a supporter of a reformed establishment, in which other Christian denominations, and other faiths, play a major part.
~George Carey
~George Carey
I'm on the air five hours, and I blurt out anything in my head. Dangerous? Maybe.
~Howard Stern
~Howard Stern
I'm on the patch right now. Where it releases small dosages of approval until I no longer crave it, and then I'm gonna rip it off.
~Ellen DeGeneres
~Ellen DeGeneres
I'm one of those actors who likes to do it wrong nine ways before I come to the tenth way, which is the way I think it should be.
~Wayne Rogers
~Wayne Rogers
I'm only going to be running the Pro Class this season, that way I can focus on the Pro Championship.

~Karen McCarthy
~Karen McCarthy
I'm proud of my mentors. Ray Charles is the strongest influence on me as a singer.
~Michael Bolton
~Michael Bolton
I'm rarely grabbed by anything the way I was when I was 10 years younger. About the only relatively new artists whose albums I own are Beck, and They Might Be Giants.
~Greg Egan
~Greg Egan
I'm rather pleased with the new manuals. I see Inform now as a gauche young adult, having got past the stage of growing out of his shoes every few months.
~Graham Nelson
~Graham Nelson
I'm really a very weak musicologist. Wish it weren't so, but there's only so much you can dig deeply into in one lifetime, as if you hadn't noticed.

I'm really glad I didn't do it then. I'm glad everybody loves it, but I'm not going to do their theme song. I would write it, but I wouldn't sing it.
~John Wozniak

I'm really not into the educational aspect of performing. It's not in me.
~Dave Lombardo
~Dave Lombardo
I'm recording another demo for another batch of record labels that we'll shop it around to.

I'm restless. Luckily I have the kind of job where if I get bored with something I can move on, take up another role and re-invent myself.
~Neil Patrick Harris
~Neil Patrick Harris
I'm sad to see the passing of the great drug warriors. I certainly did my part in that battle and I don't regret any of it.

~Marc Maron
I'm saddened to see that some have been misled into believing that Mr. Disney was something other than a kind, caring man.
~Annette Funicello
~Annette Funicello
I'm satisfied to go in at the bottom - that's the best way to learn what things are all about.
~Cesar Romero
~Cesar Romero
I'm sick of very white teeth and lots of gymnasium practice. I'm bored, you know, send in the next one. I wanted a real man that I could believe was my brother, my father, you know, my next-door neighbor-a real person.
~Tim Roth
~Tim Roth
I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain; What a wonderful feeling, I'm happy again.
~Arthur Freed
~Arthur Freed
I'm singing what I want to sing based on the emotion of what that day feels like. That's what comes out of my mouth and guitar. That impacts people. They know anything can happen.
~John Mayer
~John Mayer
I'm so critical of myself. I'm actually really, really proud of the film. It's really cool to see a movie at Sundance because everybody is so supportive.
~Giovanni Ribisi
~Giovanni Ribisi
I'm so disturbed when my women students behave as though they can only read women, or black students behave as though they can only read blacks, or white students behave as though they can only identify with a white writer.
~Bell Hooks

I'm so gullible. I'm so damn gullible. And I am so sick of me being gullible.

I'm so happy now that I have my own recording company because I don't have to have any arguments with people about what I'm going to release next.
~La Monte Young
~La Monte Young
I'm so protected in my Nickelodeon bubble and "What I Like About You." It's all pretty much the same people I've worked with and it was pretty protected.
~Amanda Bynes

I'm sorry I didn't go to jail for six months, then I know you could come to see me anytime you wanted to.

~Sandra Bernhard
~Sandra Bernhard
I'm supposed to relax and concentrate on the image of myself out there skating my race.
~Mary Docter

I'm the guy who wrote The Authority Song. Did they think I was kidding? Did they think it was only a song to entertain?
~John Mellencamp

I'm the only instrument that's got the words, so I've got to be able to get that across.
~Rosemary Clooney

I'm the streetwise New Yorker nun who's always wanted to be on-stage. I'm taking tap classes here in Los Angeles. There is a big tap number.

I'm thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments.
~Daniel Radcliffe

I'm too old-fashioned to use a computer. I'm too old-fashioned to use a quill.
~Christopher Plummer
~Christopher Plummer
I'm too short to host a late-night talk show. It's like the bar at an amusement-park ride. You have to be six foot two or over.
~Jon Stewart

I'm too young at 50. I'm not grown up yet. There's part of everybody like that.
~Julie Walters

I'm trying to do the best I can. I'm not concerned with tomorrow, but with what goes on today.
~Mark Spitz
~Mark Spitz
I'm trying to get the record that I made at my birthday party last year, trying to get that out, and the lawyers are diddling around with it and it probably won't be out until next year. I don't know.
~Marian McPartland
~Marian McPartland
I'm trying to have my own thing, and I don't know if it's even possible. I didn't realize so many people actually think I'm trying to be like my dad. I read comments like 'She's no Elvis.' I'm not trying to be. I never set out to be.
~Lisa Marie Presley
~Lisa Marie Presley
I'm used to being in the minority. I'm a left-handed gay Jew. I've never felt, automatically, a member of any majority.
~Barney Frank
~Barney Frank
I'm very blessed in that I had a lot of people who admired what I was able to achieve, and it was newsworthy, and that opens doors.
~Lee Haney
~Lee Haney
I'm very cautious about talking about how actors got where they got, as though there is in fact a plan or a way. There is no plan, there is no way, there's no sure set, there's no handbook, on how to get to be an actor.
~Peter Jurasik
~Peter Jurasik
I'm very flattered, but I don't think I'm the sexiest man on the planet.
~Douglas Wilson
~Douglas Wilson
I'm very influenced by landscapes, not so much the way places look as the way the names sound. In this country we've got so many cultures, and the place names - the Spanish names and the Indian names, which are so incredibly musical.
~Emmylou Harris
~Emmylou Harris
I'm very much a humanist. I'm very much pro-choice. I'm very much politically correct.
~Sandra Bernhard
~Sandra Bernhard
I'm working on a very long series of paintings based on desert folklore.
~Terri Windling
~Terri Windling
I've also been doing all the literature, Italian literature. But no, I don't like to repeat very much. I like to float with the camera.

I've also been willing to share any help that I could give to any other artist.
~Kenneth Noland

I've always been a little shy about taking my clothes off, but I don't worry about it any more.
~Kylie Minogue
~Kylie Minogue
I've always been a tapper, as in, on tables, school desks, my legs and chest. I've eventually been able to figure out how to move that to the guitar.
~Ian Williams
~Ian Williams
I've always been extremely lucky in playing with great people who knew much more than I did. That's how I got from there to here.
~Steve Lacy
~Steve Lacy
I've always been fortunate in that I've been able to put myself in my own zone and relax. It comes naturally. I'm lucky to be that way.
~Michael Phelps
~Michael Phelps
I've always been into films. I've been offered lots of films but they've always been these very stereotypical roles. They wanted me to play some gangster or street guy, or pimp, drug addict.

I've always been very image prone, along the lines of bands like Black Sabbath and even Devo.
~Peter Steele
~Peter Steele
I've always believed in challenging Republicans where they think they are strongest.
~Martin Frost
~Martin Frost
I've always believed in going after writers. I've been criticized for it to. I've turned down big stars for things and I've lost friends over it.
~Robert Evans
~Robert Evans
I've always believed the greater danger is not aiming too high, but too low, settling for a bogey rather than shooting for an eagle.
~Peter Scott
~Peter Scott
I've always defended Shania. She not only opened doors; she knocked several down.
~Faith Hill
~Faith Hill
I've always found it easy and natural and, more importantly, necessary to articulate thoughts and feelings, and fierce emotions, through the written word. Fantasy and horror came to me when I was very young.
~Kim Elizabeth

I've always found Mr. Disney to be somewhat of a shy person, a kid at heart.
~Annette Funicello
~Annette Funicello
I've always had a problem within myself of feeling that people didn't really see me as a musician and I'm out to get a bit of musical credibility.
~Phil Spector

~Richard Linklater
I've always liked the Tottenham kit, but the new one is really beautiful and in any case it was fantastic to wear the Tottenham colours again.
~David Ginola
~David Ginola
I've always loved airplanes and flight. The space program was really important to me as a kid. I still have a photo of Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon in my living room.
~Bill Nye
~Bill Nye
I've always said I want a farmer, not a hunter. Hunters go for the kill and they move on. A farmer nurtures; he watches things grow.
~Eva Longoria
~Eva Longoria
I've always thought that the stereotype of the dirty old man is really the creation of a dirty young man who wants the field to himself.
~Hugh Downs
~Hugh Downs
I've always wondered what it would be like if somebody from outer space landed with three heads. Then all of a sudden everybody else wouldn't look so bad, huh? Well, OK you're a little different from me but, hey, ya got one head.
~Cyndi Lauper
~Cyndi Lauper
I've been asked to say a couple of words about my husband, Fang. How about short and cheap?
~Phyllis Diller
~Phyllis Diller
I've been at this for 40 years. And, as an academic, I've been content with relatively small audiences, with the thought that the audience I long for will find its way eventually to what I have written, provided that what I have written is good enough.
~Stephen Greenblatt
~Stephen Greenblatt
I've been campaigning for 17 of the last 24 months. I'm ready to legislate and not campaign.
~John Campbell
~John Campbell
I've been campaigning like anything for restoring these changes. For 27 years. I wrote a book about it, well, a portion of the book was devoted to these scenes and why they should have been in the movie.
~William Peter Blatty
~William Peter Blatty
I've been compared to hundreds of artists, which just goes to show you that I'm not any one thing at all.
~Lenny Kravitz
~Lenny Kravitz
I've been compared to people since the beginning. When you're starting out, you need a comparison so people will understand you right away.
~Jason Mraz
~Jason Mraz
I've been fifty thousand times to the Louvre. I have copied everything in drawing, trying to understand.
~Alberto Giacometti

~Gary Condit
~Gary Condit
I've been obsessed with this kind of visual storytelling for quite a while, and I try to create material that allows me to explore it.
~Brian De Palma
~Brian De Palma
I've been on sets where things weren't relaxed because someone was creating tension for no reason.
~Kevin Spacey
~Kevin Spacey
I've been on stage since I was 7. That's where I'd rather be than anywhere else. Just because you can do a bunch of things doesn't mean you are a bunch of things. I can act. I can sing. But I am a dancer.
~Bebe Neuwirth
~Bebe Neuwirth
I've been playing with Blackwell over 20 years. We used to play when I first went to Los Angeles. Blackwell plays the drums as if he's playing a wind instrument. Actually, he sounds more like a talking drum.
~Ornette Coleman
~Ornette Coleman
I've been proud to be a lifelong Chicago Cub and still be with the Cubs. That's always been important to me and I think it's always been special.
~Ryne Sandberg

I've been taking a trapeze class for the last couple of years. I'm working on my double back flip right now.
~Neil Patrick Harris
~Neil Patrick Harris
I've been to Canada, and I've always gotten the impression that I could take the country over in about two days.
~Jon Stewart
~Jon Stewart
I've been told before, and I tend to believe it, I'm not like most actresses out there.
~Moira Kelly
~Moira Kelly
I've been told by people that it's okay to cry but, you know what, it's been used against me.
~Peter Steele
~Peter Steele
I've been told I'm a player, but people still don't always return my calls.
~Tabitha Soren
~Tabitha Soren
I've been trying to take this journey over the last four years of getting away from playing manipulative and villainous characters and playing characters that are affected by what happens to them as opposed to unaffected.
~Kevin Spacey
~Kevin Spacey
I've been using the Mac solely for years, and got very comfortable with it.
~Jerry Goldsmith
~Jerry Goldsmith
I've been watching a lot of Jack Nicholson's stuff because I realized the only things I'd seen him in were Batman and Mars Attacks.
~Kieran Culkin
~Kieran Culkin
I've been working on my autobiography, just pecking away in longhand. The more you write, the more you remember. The more you remember, the more detail you recall. It's not all pleasant!
~Pat Morita
~Pat Morita
I've been working on something, just some jazz, relaxed stuff. It will be standard, just piano and voice. It started out as a fun project for me though, I'm still not sure about releasing it.
~Justin Guarini
~Justin Guarini
I've certainly experienced racism, but it has not made a great impact on me. I have always thought, as I got older and older, I was more in charge of who I was. What someone thought about me or said about me made less of an impression on me at very vulnerable times.
~Robert Guillaume
~Robert Guillaume
I've come to believe that whoever I am didn't start on December 14, 1946, and isn't going to end on whatever that mysterious date is in the future.
~Patty Duke
~Patty Duke
I've come to learn that there is a real difference between men and women. It's genetic.
~Sharon Gless
~Sharon Gless
I've done a lot of Super Bowls and appeared in a lot of big, big events and places and the Masters and what have you, but there was nothing as intimidating as speaking with Billy Graham.
~Pat Summerall
~Pat Summerall
I've done Graham Norton's show three times now. He tackles taboos and subject matter that wouldn't make it past the censors in the States.
~Kyle MacLachlan
~Kyle MacLachlan
I've enjoyed being a part of something from the beginning, when we were still finding our footing.
~Douglas Wilson
~Douglas Wilson
I've got news for you: There are going to be people other than Christians in the hereafter. What are you going to do about it? Are you not going to go?
~Jane Elliot

I've got seven kids. The three words you hear most around my house are 'hello,' 'goodbye,' and 'I'm pregnant'.

I've gradually risen from lower-class background to lower-class foreground.
~Marvin Cohen
~Marvin Cohen
I've had about 140 albums released, and I've done everything I wanted to do.
~Hank Snow
~Hank Snow
I've had my fair share of being dismissed. But I'm only about to turn 30. And when I finish running, I'm going to be a dangerous woman.
~Cathy Freeman
~Cathy Freeman
I've had to recover not only from a single well-publicized incident, but several years of press aftermath.
~Donna Rice
~Donna Rice
I've had too lengthy a career and coached too many players to make a choice.
~Chuck Daly
~Chuck Daly
I've had women who move to the towns I'm living in, just pack up and move there, never even met 'em before, 'cause they heard I lived there.
~GG Allin
~GG Allin
I've just done a commercial in the U.S. in which I talk about stocks, shares and bonds. Everyone is amazed. They ask me: 'You really know about that stuff or did you just learn it for the commercial?' I tell them I wouldn't do it unless I understood and had an interest.
~Anna Kournikova

I've just finished four months of chemotherapy and the chemotherapy worked. I'm officially in remission, which I'm very happy about.
~Herbie Mann
~Herbie Mann
I've learned a lot about my voice, and about things I can do with it. Maybe that's why my sound has become a little more pop.
~Chely Wright
~Chely Wright
I've learned over the years that it doesn't matter where you pitch in the rotation. For me, preparation is everything.
~Cory Lidle
~Cory Lidle
I've learned you can make a mistake and the whole world doesn't end. I had to learn to allow myself to make a mistake without becoming defensive and unforgiving.
~Lisa Kudrow
~Lisa Kudrow
I've lived nearby since 1981 and probably have averaged one run a week there. That's more than 1000 repetitions, and I have yet to tire of this course.
~Joe Henderson
~Joe Henderson
I've met them down in the Cost and Accounting Department, clean-shaven and in white collars. They can't see a damn thing ridiculous about themselves... only about you.
~Jean Shepherd

I've never been arrested. I've been stopped, searched and had a gun put to my head by the Chicago cops.
~Tim Meadows
~Tim Meadows
I've never been hurt by a sea creature, except for jellyfish and sea urchins.
~Peter Benchley

I've never been in a bad play. There might have been bad productions and I might have been bad in them, but I've never been in a play that wasn't interesting or worthwhile doing on some level.
~Stephen Rea
~Stephen Rea
I've never been one that thinks that the function of an instrument is to approach the purity of voice or the structure of a beautifully sung line.
~Evan Parker

I've never believed that the only way to make a dent is to be a table thumper.
~David Brudnoy
~David Brudnoy
I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times!
~Van Morrison
~Van Morrison
I've never had a relationship with a record executive. I always went to the record company by someone that liked my playing. Then they would get fired, and I'd be left with the record company. And then - because they got fired - the record company wouldn't do anything for me.
~Ornette Coleman
~Ornette Coleman
I've never had any feeling of disconnection between the classical theater, or the contemporary theater, or musical theater, or the thing that we call opera.
~Trevor Nunn
~Trevor Nunn
I've never had anyone put on a puppet show to convince me of anything. And I've done a lot of stuff. I don't know that I would put the puppets on when I was pitching a show. This was the head of the studio putting a puppet show on. And I'll tell you, he wasn't bad.
~Garry Shandling
~Garry Shandling
I've never heard a crowd boo a homer, but I've heard plenty of boos after a strikeout.
~George Herman
~George Herman
I've never really worked on them. Just once in a while one hits me and makes me laugh. My Al Gore was sort of like a gay Gomer Pyle.

~Saul Bellow
I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.
~Bob Dylan
~Bob Dylan
I've often argued that oil and gas exploration is a state's rights issue. It is abundantly clear that the State of Florida does not want drilling to negatively affect its beaches and shores.
~Jeff Miller
~Jeff Miller
I've often said that there's no such thing as writer's block; the problem is idea block.
~Jeffery Deaver
~Jeffery Deaver
I've only been making records since 1991. When you look at the long-standing careers of people like Joni, it's not very long!
~Sheryl Crow
~Sheryl Crow
I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.
~John Malkovich
~John Malkovich
I've played a baby panda bear to a gorilla to an alien, but Austin Powers 2 is definitely my biggest role ever. Hopefully, it's not my last!

I've worked with a lot of real heavy hitters, and Quentin is maybe heads and shoulders, at least a forehead, above just about anybody I've ever worked with.
~David Carradine

I've written six novels and four pieces of nonfiction, so I don't really have a genre these days.
~Anne Lamott
~Anne Lamott
I, in fact, have been involved in the construction of and the management of wastewater treatment plants.

I, of course, wanted to play real jazz. When we played pop tunes, and naturally we had to, I wanted those pops to kick! Not loud and fast, understand, but smoothly and with a definite punch.
~Count Basie

I, too, have never seen an episode of Moesha, and even more amazing, I have never even read a TV Guide description of an episode.

If a group of people feels that it has been humiliated and that its honour has been trampled underfoot, it will want to express its identity and this expression of an identity will take different shapes and forms.
~Abdolkarim Soroush
~Abdolkarim Soroush
If a hit came along, I wouldn't be unhappy about that. But I'm a bit too old for that now-doing videos and all those types of TV shows. I've kind of done all that, in the '70s.

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.
~Jonathan Brandis
~Jonathan Brandis
It's OK to do cute little things like kissing a turtle, but you can't kiss another person because he's a different color? Give me a break. And you have to remember, I'm from Dallas, Texas.
~Aaron Spelling
~Aaron Spelling
It's okay to have personal ambitions, but you have to take someone with you.
~Roger Staubach
~Roger Staubach
It's one of those records that will stand forever. I really can't imagine anyone touching it.
~Steve Kerr

It's one thing to fight for what you believe in, another thing to fight for what others believe in.
~James Wolcott
~James Wolcott
It's only 60,000. It's not a big town. It's a big hockey town. Everybody plays hockey when you grow up.

It's only in modern times that we have come to glorify vampirism.
~Guillermo del Toro
~Guillermo del Toro
It's only very recently that women have succeeded in entering those professions which, as Muses, they typified for the Greeks.
~Miriam Beard
~Miriam Beard
It's only women who are not really quite women at all, frivolous women who have no idea, who neglect repairs.
~Marguerite Duras
~Marguerite Duras
It's possible to become so comfortable with one's style and structure that one ceases to grow.
~Lynn Abbey
~Lynn Abbey
It's real nice and exciting for me to break the records, but it's more exciting for me to be on a winning team.
~Dan Marino
~Dan Marino
It's really an optimistic show. I think most of the people in this country are optimistic, too.
~Charles Osgood
~Charles Osgood
It's really comforting for me and Jeff, at least, that after 12 years we finally feel we've reached a place where we can be more honest, real and loving with each other. And we're finally in a band that we know is good, and deserves the credit it's getting.
~Stone Gossard
~Stone Gossard
It's really exciting and kind of special, especially having our own band. It's just completely different.
~Nicole Appleton
~Nicole Appleton
It's sad to say, but I'm the kid who failed PE in high school. How do you fail PE? I had to repeat it four times my senior year!
~Joely Fisher
~Joely Fisher
It's sad when girls think they don't have anything going on except being pretty.
~Keri Russell
~Keri Russell
It's so easy to manipulate an audience, but it's nearly always clear that you are being manipulated. I think even people that are not critically attuned are aware of cynical manipulation in film.
~John Boorman
~John Boorman
It's sort of what jazz would be if it stopped being snobby and what rock would be if it stopped being stupid.
~Andy Partridge
~Andy Partridge
It's such a small industry here you inevitably end up working with the same people over and over again. There are only so many actors to go around, which is good for us.
~Karl Urban
~Karl Urban
It's the group sound that's important, even when you're playing a solo.
~Oscar Peterson
~Oscar Peterson

~Steve Lacy

People expect us to be different, but we're not. We're very similar people, and it's because we're so similar and close to each other that we make each other laugh - in fact we make each other laugh more than we make anyone else laugh.
~Adrian Edmondson
~Adrian Edmondson

~Abdolkarim Soroush

People genuinely happy in their choices seem less often tempted to force them on other people than those who feel martyred and broken by their lives.
~Jane Rule

~Susan Blackmore
People had already settled the islands in the Mediterranean and around Great Britain long before the first pharaoh built the pyramids in Egypt.
~Thor Heyerdahl
~Thor Heyerdahl

~Elizabeth Gaskell
~Elizabeth Gaskell
People need meanings to everything. People want you to intellectualize every choice you make.
~Juliana Hatfield
~Juliana Hatfield
People need to be peppered or even outraged occasionally. Our national comedy and drama is packed with earthy familiarity and honest vulgarity. Clean vulgarity can be very shocking and that, in my view, gives greater involvement.
~Kenneth Williams
~Kenneth Williams
People need to focus on bigger issues instead of whether George Bush is an idiot or not.
~Colin Greenwood
~Colin Greenwood

People often refer to my career before The Crying Game as something which led up to that point. But I was very fulfilled in what I was doing.
~Stephen Rea
~Stephen Rea

Perfect retention. I don't think I could do that-I've never disciplined myself to do it.I suppose a lot of it is a question of discipline. Which improvisation is not.
~George Shearing

Perhaps the most difficult thing is shooting scenes set 6,000 feet up in the mountains of Mexico.
~Bruce Beresford

Perhaps the most versatile and useful plug-in in the collection is Mass Copy. It is certainly the one I use the most. Due to limitations in how plugins can interact with Finale, Mass Copy has a somewhat unusual user interface.

Personally, I think that for example the chemical directive in its present form does too much damage to the chemical industry - especially the medium sized businesses - and will hurt our worldwide competitiveness.

Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you're a director. Everything after that you're just negotiating your budget and your fee.

Potentially significant, by the way, because we don't know exactly what's in Matt Cooper's notes, and we don't know - and we don't still know the answer to the crucial question of whether it was Rove or somebody else that revealed Valerie Plame's name to him.
