Famous quote by John Carpenter

In England, I'm a horror movie director. In Germany, I'm a filmmaker. In the US, I'm a bum.

Quotes by Henry Moore

A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds.

I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the year's.

I think, what has this day brought me, and what have I given it?

It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.

Oswald Spengler quotes

The mathematic, then, is an art. As such it has its styles and style periods. It is not, as the layman and the philosopher (who is in this matter a layman too) imagine, substantially unalterable, but subject like every art to unnoticed changes form epoch to epoch. The development of the great arts ought never to be treated without an (assuredly not unprofitable) side-glance at contemporary mathematics.

The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.

Jon Favreau quotations

I find that people... very few people think that what they're doing is bad, and usually the people who think what they're doing is bad it has more to do with guilt.

I don't think I'm egotistical as much as I'm taking responsibility for what I'm putting out there.

Acting is the most fun. I like to do it and it's great that I can still do that, but you know, you don't really have a lot of control over things, so it's real hit or miss.

Top 5 quotes by Ziyi Zhang

Whatever you see - any good results - are all from the pressure.

It's not that I wanted to be an actor; it's that I didn't want to be a dancer! I was trained in traditional Chinese dance, and after working so hard it seemed unfair to just disappear into a group.

I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.

I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.

In China, we don't consider someone truly beautiful until we have known them for a long time, and we know what's underneath the skin.

Adam Baldwin quotes

I was involved with drama departments since the 5th grade. I played at it. It was an escape.

I'm always looking, as an actor, for activities. I think it's far more interesting to watch what people do than what they say. You always want to watch behavior, because the dialogue as written by our illustrious leaders is great. Eminently playable.

I just consider myself a piece of the puzzle and I'm lucky enough to be asked or invited to the party, if you will. I hope I can bring some laughs and grimaces to the fans.

It was never the fame or fortune that drove me to act. It was something I love and enjoy doing it. A lot of people identify who they are by what they do and that's not me. It's what I do but not who I am. Who I am is a parent. I'm a family man.

A lot of the television industry is so cookie-cutter. In general, there are so many shows that are easy and bland to watch. You can tune in at any time and know exactly where you are in the story arc because it's pretty much the same every week.

Famous quote by Leo Anthony Gallagher

I wish there was a knob on the TV so you could turn up the intelligence. They got one marked brightness but it don't work, does it?

Quotes by Whoopi Goldberg

You've got to vote for someone. It's a shame, but it's got to be done.

Normal is in the eyes of the beholder.

If every American donated five hours a week, it would equal the labor of 20 million full-time volunteers.

Whenever women are together for more than two days they talk about their periods.

Top 5 quotes by Hank Aaron

It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.

I never doubted my ability, but when you hear all your life you're inferior, it makes you wonder if the other guys have something you've never seen before. If they do, I'm still looking for it.

On the field, blacks have been able to be super giants. But, once our playing days are over, this is the end of it and we go back to the back of the bus again.

I don't see pitches down the middle anymore - not even in batting practice.

It took me seventeen years to get 3,000 hits. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.

Top 5 quotes by Amber Tamblyn

I think I had an advantage in the sense that I wasn't raised religiously.

This will be the fourth time I've seen this film. I'm very proud of it and I think it's a great movie for women of any age. And almost every single man I've talked to has admitted to crying.

My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.

I could never say that one religion is wrong. I could never say that this person's God is wrong, I could never say that someone is wrong because they don't believe in God.

One of my good friends is Christian, goes to church every Sunday, very religious. I'm fine with that and I will never judge her.

Quotes by Samuel Richardson

Calamity is the test of integrity.

People of little understanding are most apt to be angry when their sense is called into question.

Claude D. Pepper quotes

Ageism is as odious as racism and sexism.

Life is like riding a bicycle. You don't fall off unless you stop peddling.

Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.

Quotes by Aulis Sallinen

I really believe in melody.

If music leaves any impression at all, it does so without regard to stylistic issues.

These days people wallow in enormous masses of sound.

Billy Joel quotes

The good days weren't really so good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.

Like a boxer in a title fight, you have to walk in that ring alone.

A typical day in the life of a heavy metal musician consists of a round of golf and an AA meeting.

There's nothing better than good sex. But bad sex? A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than bad sex.

Joyce Brothers quotes

If Shakespeare had to go on an author tour to promote Romeo and Juliet, he never would have written Macbeth.

There is a rule in sailing where the more maneuverable ship should give way to the less maneuverable craft. I think this is sometimes a good rule to follow in human relationships as well.

The world at large does not judge us by who we are and what we know; it judges us by what we have.

Audre Lorde quotes

The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never allow us to bring about genuine change.

There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.

The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference.

I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.

When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.

Quotes by Paula Cole

It's me who is my enemy
Me who beats me up
Me who makes the monsters
Me who strips my confidence.

I've left Bethlehem
and I feel free...
I've left the girl I was supposed to be
and some day I'll be born.

Alan Jackson quotes

I could have done a hundred songs, really. It was hard to narrow them down, because I tried to pick songs for the most part that actually did have some effect on me or influenced me in the past.

For some reason I've been labeled that and it's fine, but there are a lot of other artists that sing real traditional stuff, so I don't know why they picked me. That's what I've always done.

I really was a fan of his and always have been - his writing especially, you know? I think people a lot of times overlook that part, because he kind of got into that party character so heavy.

My mother kept asking me, 'When are you going to do a gospel album?' And I've always wanted to do a gospel album. Everybody was going on about it, so mom started hounding me more.

Hee Haw was probably my biggest exposure to live music at a young age, because there wasn't any live music around my town and no one in my family played instruments.

Charlotte Mary Yonge quotes

James's expedition to Scotland is wholly imaginary, though there appears to have been space for it during Henry's progress to the North to pay his devotions at Beverley Minster.

Elder sisters never can do younger ones justice!

When the venture has been made of dealing with historical events and characters, it always seems fair towards the reader to avow what liberties have been taken, and how much of the sketch is founded on history.
