I can't understand why a person will take a year to write a novel when he can easily buy one for a few dollars.
I found the right man, got married, and just had to keep not reinventing myself, just deciding that it doesn't matter what you are if you are a good person.
I am a person of the 18th century.
When I look at a character, I never look at the size of the role. I always look at the whole person, no matter how much they're featured in the movie.
If a person loves only one other person, and is indifferent to his fellow men, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism.
There is no reason for a person to have thousands of millions of dollars.
I'm an all-or-nothing person.
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.
I would sometimes sit in a crowded restaurant, and say, 'You know, I'm the only person in this restaurant who can't draw.'
When you're playing a real character, you want to honor that person and receive inspiration from that person. They need to anoint you in some way that allows you to borrow just a small piece of their soul. That is the flame.
I don't believe in elitism. I don't think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience.
To hang out in a gay bar or put on a sequined halter top makes me feel like a total person.
There's no better way to test a person than to put them in the middle of a war. That's clearly going to show what kind of a character you're telling a story about.
An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous.
I am a happier person living in a country which has surplus of everything rather than shortages.
We go on dates thinking that person is our future husband or wife, without getting to know them, as we live in a fantasy and an illusion of romance.
The really funny moments you notice throughout your life are very seldom generated by one person telling a joke.
There is nothing more fearful for the average person in our society than to stand before a group of people and speak.
Word of mouth works now, much more than ever. @-reply every single person.
It would be ugly to watch people poking sticks at a caged rat. It is uglier still to watch rats poking sticks at a caged person.
I still have highs and lows, just like any other person. What's missing is the lack of control over the super highs, which became destructive, and the super lows, which are immediately destructive.
I think it's useful, as a famous person, to have as little separation between the perception of you and how you really are - because otherwise I'd be sitting here thinking I'm keeping secrets, and wondering when you're going to find out.
I've been a little bit obsessed with religion, without being a religious person, for about a decade.
It's no secret I'm a shy person.
For good or ill, I'm a person of leadership. I do my best. I don't dodge responsibility.
To be honest, I'm more of a sneaker person. My legs hurt if I wear heels for too long.
I told the record company I didn't feel the need to be at red-carpet events. I wanted a career. But I wanted to keep myself intact as a person.
I believe it is important to speak to your readers in person... to enable people to have a whole picture of me; I have to both write and speak. I view my role as writer and also as oral communicator.
I really have to give the Navy all the credit it deserves. They were so flexible and accommodating, given that everybody on board had better things to worry about than this person coming on board who's just going to be in the way, really.
To be honest, I'm probably more of a comedy person, actually. I really enjoy the comedy stuff, and I've got some things I'll be working on that I think are just different ways of combining genres in comedy and drama and action.
That was the problem with the 'celibate' word because they don't consider for a moment that you'd rather not be, but you just are. I was never a sexual person.
If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about.
But I think I'm a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.
As a listener, we're looking for that person who kind of excites the molecules within us - who knows how to tell the story that resonates deeply to our core and almost prompts us into action. Fats Waller has been that person for decades. When people need a lift, sometimes they go to him. I know I do.
A pessimist? That's a person who has been intimately acquainted with an optimist.
Taylor Swift - I can't say enough good things about her. I admire her so much as a person and as a role model for young women.
