Some people say that practice makes perfect but I just feel that the repetition works against me and I start thinking too far ahead during a show.
I read that a lot of people think I'm gay. I don't care. My boyfriend and I are not really phased by what people say.
My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe; I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent, I have reached the top of the acting profession.
People say you should do it this way, someone else suggests that, yes, there's financing, but maybe you should use this actor. And there are the threats, at the end - if you don't do it this way, you'll lose your box office; if you don't do it that way, you'll never get financed again... 35, 40 years of this, you get beat up.
I don't think I am that tough, actually. Well, tough in the sense that I don't take any rubbish, and that doesn't make me very popular, frankly. I mean, because some people say something to me, and I just tell them off. I mean, why should I put up with it?
My favorite model of success is when people say, 'Nobody bought that first Velvet Underground album, but everyone who did started a band.'
I think the 'sunken place' - that term is what I hear when I'm just casually living my life. People say it around me. Not because they're around me; they're saying it because it articulated a state of mind. Lil Wayne's rapped about it.
Just do what you want to do and don't worry about what people say.
People say I'm henpecked. Well, let them say it.
You see all the movies where people say, 'Don't fight out of anger'? They say that for a reason.
Producing a series is like being Lewis and Clark: You know where you're going, you just don't know how you're going to get there. When people say, 'You should create a bible for your show,' I say, 'You don't want a bible. It'll prevent you from making discoveries along the way.' And that's what happened on 'The X-Files.'
People say if you're doing an art project, that's different from a book, but I honestly don't see it. I try and try, and I just don't.
When people say 'marriage' to me... It's always a means to an end. Everyone's so in a rush to define the relationship.
Consensus is what many people say in chorus but do not believe as individuals.
I don't really mind what people say about my love life or anything like that, but the one thing is that, yes, I do sing and write all my own music. That is something that I hold really dear. And yeah, I made a fool of myself in front of the world, but it was also great to pick myself back up and go on tour.
There ain't no genius here. Strategy in baseball is overrated. People say, 'That Weaver, he plays for the long ball too much.' You bet I do. Hit 'em out. Then I got no worry about somebody lousing up a bunt, I got no worry about the hit and run - and that's really overrated - I got no worry about base-running errors. And I can't screw it up myself.
People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?
I think when someone becomes an actor, people say, Aw, you could see it in him when he was little. But I think you can see that quality in every little kid.
You'll hear people say now, 'Oh, I don't want to see something in 3-D. That's wrong, because what they've seen is 3-D done poorly.
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
I like clothes and fashion. It's a hobby for me and I really enjoy being part of it, so it's nice when people say: 'He can dress quite well.'
Yes, some people say to me you're too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that.
I feel like I come from a smaller off shoot of black people because I am mixed. People say I'm African American but that doesn't include the other half of me.
A lot of times people say, 'As soon as you relax you'll have a kid.'
A lot of people say I'd miss show business if I quit. I'd miss some of it. Now it's the only life I know.
Our task, your task... is to try to connect the dots before something happens. People say, 'Well, where's the smoking gun?' Well, we don't want to see a smoking gun from a weapon of mass destruction.
People say it's really the press who create those soundbites about fashion. That's what sells magazines and clothes.
Every man, woman and child knows about Mugabe, but people say, 'Mogae, who is that?'
A lot of people say, 'Why do health-care reform when the deficits are so big?' But that is when we've got to do it.
People say a lot of things in the heat of the moment. But in the entertainment business, ya never say never.
People say there's no trace of an accent anymore, and there isn't because I worked very hard to lose it. And the reason I did that is a British accent in America is a real status symbol.
Everybody has a different definition of God. When people say, 'Do you believe?' I think they mean the Christian God. There are a lot of gods, so I think they cancel each other out.
With optimism, you look upon the sunny side of things. People say, 'Studs, you're an optimist.' I never said I was an optimist. I have hope because what's the alternative to hope? Despair? If you have despair, you might as well put your head in the oven.
Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.
I have become so used to having people say, 'We loved your movie' instead of 'We read your book' that now I merely say, 'Thanks.'
People say, what is she thinking? I'm thinking: fun; cash; travel.
