Filmmaking is a much more collaborative thing than literature, so you know you’re going to be working with a group of people at the start. You know it’s going to be a compromise. – Irvine Welsh
I think Sweden is known for people being a bit more quiet than other cultures, and I guess it’s a mixture: shyness and leaving room for other people to talk. Of course, when people get drunk, all of that disappears. – Jose Gonzalez
But I was in the Radiohead studio today and Phil was there drumming and Thom was there playing. We feel like we’ve only just stopped and already people are wanting us to carry on. – Jonny Greenwood
You come to work because the office is a resource: The office is a place where you can meet with other people, and the office has libraries of books and information on CD-ROM that might help you with your work. – Jay Chiat
If Satan can weaken or destroy the loving relationships among members of families, he can cause more misery and more unhappiness for more people than he could in any other way. – Joseph B. Wirthlin
There are two types of people in this world: one who opens a packet of biscuits, has one and puts the rest back in the cupboard, and one who eats the whole packet in one go. – Jo Brand
Back when you were doing plays like ‘The Miracle Worker,’ you had 20, 25 people in the cast. When you go to make the film, that’s not such a stretch. But when you’re doing plays like ‘Proof,’ it’s just five people or something in the thing, and it gets to be a really difficult re-conception. – John Patrick Shanley
A lot of people prefer to be alone. They would rather be a palm tree on an island. I don’t get it. – Jose Andres
I want to be the defensive player to break the MVP barrier. I want to break barriers. I want to do things when people tell me I can’t. – J. J. Watt
I really wanted to give people that tool, that thing, that answer, ‘Well, what are you going to do after Katrina? How does New Orleans come back?’ And I’m thinking to myself, New Orleans is back. We’re the definition of ‘back.’ We’re the definition of ‘rebirth,’ of ‘renaissance.’ – Irvin Mayfield
Winning the Indy 500 in 1995 and the Formula 1 championship in 1997 are very special moments for me, and the people in NASCAR show me respect for what I’ve achieved so far in my career. – Jacques Villeneuve

I’m a leader, not a dictator. I want to persuade people rather than threaten or control them. – Jeremy Corbyn
A lot of writers, especially crime writers, have an image that we think we’re trying to keep up with. You’ve got to be seen as dark and slightly dangerous. But I’m not like that and I’ve realised that I don’t need to put that on. People will buy the books whether they see a photo of you dressed in black or not. – Ian Rankin
I’d be perfectly happy never to have to answer anything again about how I work with Ethan, or whether we have arguments, or… you know what I mean? I’ve been answering those questions for 20 years. I suppose it’s interesting to people. – Joel Coen
Oprah was famous for going to a garden party and ad-libbing. She could literally interview people for a half hour about nothing, and it was entertaining. She had her own show before she had her own show. – John Tesh
Sometimes it is claimed by those who argue that race is just a social construct that the human genome project shows that because people share roughly 99% of their genes in common, that there are no races. This is silly. – J. Philippe Rushton
I’d been going to the Louvre since 1951. I thought I knew Paris and the French, but I didn’t really. You know how easy it is to make friends when you are traveling. People are curious about you, you are curious about them. But you never really make friends that way. After the Louvre, I discovered that I have friends now because I have enemies. – I. M. Pei
There are lots of people who believe that caricature of me the tabloids created, so they think they don’t like me. – Jo Brand
