You see it in the many bouncing clothes that are not just pleats. To make them, two or three people twist them – twist, twist, twist the pleats, sometimes three or four persons twist together and put it all in the machine to cook it. – Issey Miyake
If you ask me, rockabilly has had a raw deal for far too long. People never shunned the blues or jazz the way they do rockabilly. But it’s the original punk-rock, and it changed the way people looked at music for ever. – Imelda May
One of the Republicans’ major products is dream making. People are dying to get into this country… not out of it. – J. C. Watts
Broadway is a very different kind of place. It’s kind of like Nashville in that there’s a certain amount of people that are involved, and those people are what run it. – John Mellencamp
Osama bin Laden, the person, more likely serves the function of a stand-in. Compare the new terrorists with partisans or conventional terrorists in Israel. These people often fight in a decentralized manner in small, autonomous units, too. – Jurgen Habermas
In the U.K., a lot of writers won’t show up to support activist issues because they figure they’re already repairing the world. I don’t want to be one of those people. – Jim Crace
I wanted to be a writer that had an impact. I wanted, and still I say the same thing, I want to write books that change people’s lives, change how we think and live and read and write. I wanna write books that are read in 50 or 100 years. – James Frey
Al Gore, you’ve been a real inspiration. But a lot of other people who preach the global warming gospel aren’t out to save the world. They’re out to run it. – Jesse Ventura
It’s always exciting when you love something and you get the opportunity to share it with more people. – Hannah Simone
The way a musical can make us feel is unlike anything else, in song and particularly in dance. I think people fly through plate-glass windows when they get shot because movies don’t have dance scenes any more. This is what we do instead. – Joss Whedon
It may be that the very qualities that help people get ahead are the ones that make them ill-suited for managing crises. It’s hard to prepare for the worst when you think you’re the best. – James Surowiecki
If you put someone in a room with no script to direct, they’re just going to sit there. Writing scripts is the execution for a show. Then the director takes that and hires people. It’s like trying to build a house without any bricks. You need the script. I could build the house, but I have to know how. – John Patrick Shanley
I, perhaps wrongly, assume that people actually read articles that interest them rather than just headlines. – John McAfee
I mean, I didn’t ever watch ‘Gilligan’s Island’ and think, ‘Those people are actors.’ I lived in West Virginia. Hollywood just felt like this total other universe. – Jennifer Garner
I see how people look at me, all around the world. They see something because of the race I belong to. I have to understand that and put it into my music. – Jason Moran
The Telecaster doesn’t really sound that good for the kind of rock and roll that a lot of people played. – John Fogerty
Given the right information to help them decide, people will opt for conditions that benefit our creaturely neighbours, even where they have no particular interest in larks or cuckoo wasps – because those conditions benefit us. – John Burnside
I’ve always been able to sense the relationship between two people based on how one person says the other’s name! – J. August Richards
For the first time ever, overweight people outnumber average people in America. Doesn’t that make overweight the average then? Last month you were fat, now you’re average – hey, let’s get a pizza! – Jay Leno
As any Brit will understand, things get a little easier when you don’t have to be number one any more. Really, the fall of an empire is not as bad as everyone thinks. It’s like retirement. People fear retirement, but it can turn out be rather pleasant. – John Oliver
Rather than fretting about IQ scores, voters should try to determine what candidates read – other than the Bible, which they all say they read – and the kind of people with whom they spend their time. – Jack Germond
If you want someone to show up and execute your script for you, seriously, there are a lot of great people out there. Don’t call me. – Jeff Nichols
‘Saw,’ in many ways, was like my student film. The first crappy student film you don’t really want people to see. – James Wan
Ever since I left Northern Ireland, I’ve always been pretty comfortable on my own, which contradicts a lot of people’s perceptions of me. – James Nesbitt
What has happened at Guantanamo Bay… does not represent the will of the American people. I’m embarrassed about it, I think its wrong. I think it does give terrorists an unwarranted excuse to use the despicable means to hurt innocent people. – Jimmy Carter
Food is intensely pleasurable, and people are afraid that if they change the way they eat, they’ll stop having pleasure. – John Mackey
