Seeing people get messed up never gets un-funny! And there's plenty of ways to do that.
No one really gets rich doing this. A couple people do, Black Sabbath does. We don't sell any records anymore.
The horrid mystery hanging over us in this house gets into my head like liquor, and makes me wild.
Well, you know what? The actor still gets up in the morning, if he's still got something to work with, you go out there and you do it. Never quit!
When I'm working on a book, I constantly retype my own sentences. Every day I go back to page one and just retype what I have. It gets me into a rhythm.
The photographer begins to feel big and bloated and so big he can't walk through one of these doors because he gets a good byline; he gets notices all over the world and so forth; but they're really - the important people are the people he photographs.
A car just gets me from A to B. I really don't spend that much time driving.
I prefer to break new ground, but it gets harder and harder with the territory that's already been walked on.
My whole life is geared to play guitar. I play what I want when I want and I hope the listener gets as much pleasure listening to the music as I get playing it.
I like writing a lot more than I used to. I used to find it scary but now I've got used to it once it gets going. I used to find it hard to start. Fear of the blank page. The first thing you write down won't bear any relation to what's in your head and that's always disappointing.
Touring gets really lonely.
When it gets dark enough you can see the stars.
There's a lot of chatter in basketball and, rightfully, you want players to be talking to each other... But sometimes in practice, it gets too verbose... so I tried to take things out of the ordinary and make them special so they'd understand the difference.
Sometimes I get the start of a story from a memory, an anecdote, but that gets lost and is usually unrecognizable in the final story.
The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.
I can live a totally normal life and do everything I want to do just as long as I take my medication. My body will give me signals if it gets weak or fatigued, so I know when I need to take a break.
One gets the impression that this is how Ernest Hemingway would have written had he gone to Vassar.
Every man gets a narrower and narrower field of knowledge in which he must be an expert in order to compete with other people. The specialist knows more and more about less and less and finally knows everything about nothing.
New York is a place that can grind you down and spit you out. A true New Yorker doesn't get ground down - he gets polished.
Flying is awful, there's nothing to do when you're up in the air. I bloat up, my skin gets dry, and when we hit turbulence, I'm terrified.
The older one gets in this profession, the more people there are with whom one would never work again.
The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.
People like her because she's like a breath of fresh air. Because in the fifth book it gets so dark and Harry's always cross and then every time Luna comes in all the tension goes and she makes you laugh because she's so funny and really honest. I don't know how much I'm like her, there are some similarities but I'm more determined than her.
Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.
I think that sometimes love gets in the way of itself - you know, love interrupts itself. We want things so much that we sabotage them.
A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.
You have to do anything you can think of that gets you excited.
A great hope gets crushed every time someone reminds us that happiness can be neither assumed nor earned; that we are all prisoners of our own flawed brains; that the ultimate aloneness in each of us is, finally, inviolable.
My father-in-law gets up at 5 o'clock in the morning and watches the Discovery Channel. I don't know why there's this big rush to do this.
The Palestinians need more help from the Arab countries. Since 1967, the world has learned that there is not going to be real progress in the region until Palestine gets something back that they had.
The President never intends to get into any kind of war situation. He gets carried away by events.
A little girl who finds a puzzle frustrating might ask her busy mother (or teacher) for help. The child gets one message if her mother expresses clear pleasure at the request and quite another if mommy responds with a curt 'Don't bother me - I've got important work to do.'
I hate being clean-shaven. My daughter gets very upset if I shave and says, 'Bring back the spikes, Dad.'
Crime is a very hard genre to feminise. If you have a female protagonist she is going to be looking after her mum when she gets older; she is going to be worried about her brother and sister; she will be making a living while bringing up kids.
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
There is nothing to compare with the instantaneous feedback a singer gets from the people sitting in front of him. That is where it all comes together - all the rehearsing and working to get everything just exactly right.
