Famous Quotes & Sayings

Autumn Reeser

When I was little, I was a voracious reader, and that really led me to acting as well. I loved being transported into someone else's life, and that's what reading provided me. I also really love to entertain people.

Johnathan Frakes

When I was just acting on the show, I learned my lines, went to sleep, then woke up and went to work. Now it's sort of become an obsession. I like the success. I'm thrilled with the way things have gone-but my life was simpler 10 years ago.

Jillian Rose Reed

When I was in high school, I had already kind of been working in the industry and had done a couple of acting jobs. There were definitely some girls that were either jealous or thought I was a snob. I was just trying to be a teenage girl and go to high school and have fun like everybody else!

Katie Lowes

Acting is a growing tick muscle. I really believe that it's similar to being a musician in that the more you practice it in any capacity, as much as you practice doing it every day, the better you get.

Kenny Wormald

I'm a big fan of all the Boston guys that are acting - Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Mark Wahlberg - they made a great career out of it, and they found a way to do it and still be cool guys, so that's kind of where I want to be.

Bertrand Russel

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.

Kim Novak

What makes BPD different from any other personality disorder is that your anger and impulsiveness -- acting out, kicking over a chair -- only happens when you're dealing with people you really love. If it's somebody you don't care about, who cares?

What's nice about acting is that you're not just left with yourself all the time but you get to see the world through so many different people's eyes.

John Goodman

When I was in high school playing against those guys I really didn't feel friendly towards them at all. I tried to make myself think I hated Unionville at the time, and there was definitely a lot of trash talking. You run into those guys all the time. It's pretty important to have those bragging rights so you can walk with your head a little higher. But now that I'm out of school and you see those guys there's no hate there. I have a lot of respect for them.

Carl Safina

When I was in high school in the early 1970s, we knew we were running out of oil; we knew that easy sources were being capped; we knew that diversifying would be much better; we knew that there were terrible dictators and horrible governments that we were enriching who hated us. We knew all that and we did really nothing.

Mary Roach

When I was a kid, I hated everything. I was really skinny, and I'd have a milkshake with an egg in it. Growing up, I ate, like, five different foods. I was not an adventurous eater. But as soon as I left home, that all changed and from that point on, I've been a pretty enthusiastic eater of new and strange food.

Michael Feldman

When I was a kid, I hated being talked to as a kid. I don't know if all kids feel that way, but I seem to remember awful things in the crib, something like people doing baby talk in the crib and sticking their big, fat faces in there and scaring me. So I always talk to kids as if they were a person.

Greg Ellis

We would've hated going into the bye at 4-4, ... It's a big swing for us, even though it's only one game. We had some good things out there, but there are still things that need to be fixed. It's easier to go back and fix them on a positive note, going into the bye with a win.

We're providing all the supplies and dinner. Parents just bring in pictures they want to put in the scrapbook, and the essay the kids wrote will be the centerpiece. It will pull a little at the heartstrings because the essay and pictures are so meaningful.

Mark Rothko

Mary Harron

When we couldn't find the right person, we decided to abandon preconceptions and look at people we hadn't thought of. She came in and her very first audition was so wonderful, so magical. She had this sweetness and innocence, but also something sexy and a little dark.

Al Madrigal

You grow up real quick, a half-Mexican in a sailor's suit, because I'd be riding the streetcar to school everyday - minding my own business, humming out a 'Frere Jacques' - and I realized that in any other town, this might be considered cute. But you know what it is in San Francisco? Sexy.

If you're sexy and you know it put your hands up in the air. Put your hands up in the air, girl, put your hands up.

Chloe Sevigny

Most of the models have this thing I call slouchy sexy, not only in the way they dress, but in the way carry themselves. I don't think they would look hot in one of my dresses. They are more into A. Wang. Most of my clothes are nerdy sexy.

Chloe Sevigny

I'd like to find someone to procreate with - as sexy as that sounds. If you're out and about and fit the description, come up and say hi. I won't bite. Well, maybe a little, if you're lucky.

Chloe Sevigny

It's hard to encapsulate my inspiration because there are so many different looks, but I think it's just like, sexy girl you see walking down the street in a cool outfit. A lot of eyelet, a lot of leather, playing with the hard and the soft, the good and bad inside of us all.

I have done so many love scenes in the past that I have learned how to pull off a sexy smoulder on the dance floor.

Bipasha Basu

I have always believed that if you need to take your clothes off to get your man, you've begun to lose the battle. If you pull it off right, you can do it in a very classy way... Being sexy is about suggestion; it's about the tease. It's not about being obvious and forcing yourself out in the open. That takes all the fun out of being a woman.

Some of those kids haven't heard from all of their family members.

Jeff Kleintop

What he's coming through very clearly and saying is we will probably pause soon but don't assume we're done because we pause. ...

Brian Cashman

Mark Waters

Usually, like, on 'Mean Girls,' the task that Tina Fey and I set for ourselves was we wanted to maintain a comic intensity throughout the movie, where people just don't really get a break from laughing. And if they do, it's for a brief emotional scene, and then we're going to once again try to knock them on their heels again with comedy.

Brandy Norwood

I can't believe Tina Turner actually was on the same stage. I can't believe I set foot on the same stage, and it's going to be an album, people are going to buy it, and it's going to be a video.

Sheryl Swoopes

Nicole's an incredible player, ... I don't really think it surprised us that she hit it. She was actually behind the NBA 3-point line, and Tina (Thompson) was out there, had her hand up.

Rita Ora

Madonna, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe - they were myths of greatness.

Tracy Morgan

I love '30 Rock' because Tina Fey allows me to fly over the cuckoo nest once a week.

I did have a falsetto, but I only used it when I was joking around with friends or to annoy my girlfriends, or in the shower, because no one else was around. Or in college. I'd go to karaoke bars and sing Tina Turner songs in the original key.

Michele Williams

Such a wonderful, wonderful time in our lives. I know as I'm sitting here, as I'm standing here, as Ms. Tina said, 'All Destiny's Child wanted was to go gold.' Then Kelly saying, 'Walking down the Hollywood walk of fame, saying we want the star.' Honestly this just goes to show all you have to do is say it. Say it in the air. Tell God what it is that he wants, and he gives it to you. So that is just amazing. If it's in his will, he does.

Van Chancellor

I thought Tina Thompson played her best all year. So two great players played but it was a total team victory. I would have never thought that we could limit them to less than 60 points. I'm just really pleased.

Katie Smith

I think we decided to be a little more aggressive. Obviously we also picked it up defensively, but we needed to go ahead and get some good looks and knock them down. For myself it's just a matter of not just sliding into the background, but stepping up and making shots, knocking them down. That got us going a little bit. Tina (Thompson) started hitting a few too. I hit a couple, she hit a couple and it gave us a little cushion that helped us down the stretch. We didn't have to sweat it out too much.

We've always worked cooperatively with the department, and we're only asking for cost of living increases.

Juli Inkster

We've always got a good field here, and the course and the facilities are great. We've all enjoyed the experience here. I think it's great that they're trying to work it out to stay.

We've always dreamt of a TV series and working in film. When we first sat down to seriously write 'A Little Nightmare Music,' to write something for TV was our original inspiration.
