There are a lot of people out there who lie about their age and I think it does us all a disservice. It can’t all be over when you hit 30. That would be rubbish. – Sophie Ellis-Bextor
I think I’ve developed, as many people do, this sense of, ‘Don’t say the wrong thing, or else people will point at you and laugh.’ – Taylor Swift
There are people out there with an eye on my hard-earned cash who think that I am a pushover. I am not! – Wilbur Smith
In the theater there is often a tension, almost a contradiction, between the way real people would think and behave, and a kind of imposed dramaticness. – Tom Stoppard
Well, you know… I grew up in postwar Britain, when you were lucky to get anything to eat. People in America have absolutely no conception of how austere England was after the war. While you were all sort of eating butter and eggs, we were eating rabbit. That’s what there was in the butcher shop. – Tim Curry
I think that you may find that Tamera’s a little more vibrant and energetic, but I’m much more likely to go up to a person and say, ‘Hi, I’m Tia, nice to meet you.’ Whereas Tamera is like… well… she’s a little shy. She’s down to earth. I’m more extroverted and she’s more introverted when meeting people. – Tia Mowry
People do not come to a Penn & Teller show to see a magic show. They just don’t. They come to see weird stuff that they can see no place else, that will make them laugh and make the little hairs stand up on the backs of their necks. – Teller
I will always be looking back at the things I’ve gone through, thinking of the struggling people I’ve seen. – William Kamkwamba
The scarcity trap captures this notion we see again and again in many domains. When people have very little, they undertake behaviors that maintain or reinforce their future disadvantage. If you have very little, you often behave in such a way so that you’ll have little in the future. – Sendhil Mullainathan
We all need to kind of preach to ourselves. I grew up in church, and I don’t think I necessarily understood what it meant to be called into the culture and the community in the city that you’re in or the town that you’re in and live effectively and be informed and be gracious with people. – Shane Harper
All these people who scream about Kashmir being an armed camp are in fact responsible for keeping it that way. – Zubin Mehta
Ninety per cent of the world’s woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties, and even their real virtues. Most of us go almost all the way through life as complete strangers to ourselves – so how can we know anyone else? – Sydney J. Harris
I think that, you know, when we start talking about the Tea Party, people want to marginalize that into some kind of organization or party, but it really isn’t. – Sharron Angle
I am trying to write novels for properly clever people, but I also want them to be proper novels that also stick in a person’s mind and have an atmosphere about them. – Sophie Hannah
I’m not practising, I don’t go to church, but what I got from it was a sense of belonging to something bigger. What I really miss is being forced to be in a community with people that aren’t the same as you. Then, you really have to work through the ways that you’re different. – Win Butler
I see a lot of actors that are doing things to please their coaches, their teachers in the past. They say ‘No’ to parts they should have said ‘Yes’ to simply because of the opinion of people in their past. I have no one in my past who is judging me and saying, ‘Maybe you shouldn’t do that.’ I’ll do it all. – Terry Crews
There are an awful lot of people out there that don’t want to see Boston go away, and I’m one of them. – Tom Scholz
With most of the songs and music that I’ve composed, irrespective of the myriad videos made, I was always careful not to overly define the experience, leaving room for people to internalize things for themselves, making their experience more integral. – Serj Tankian
It was expected of all good middle-class Indian people to build India and, as you know, Indians – when we say, ‘build India,’ it was all about being an accountant, a lawyer, an engineer. So it was this idea that professionals would build the country. – Shekhar Kapur
In 1945, there were more people killed, more buildings destroyed, more high explosives set off, more fires burning than before or since. – Stephen Ambrose
How does a person feel when looking at the sky? He thinks that he doesn’t have enough tongues to describe what he sees. Nevertheless, people have never stopping describing the sky, simply listing what they see. – Umberto Eco
Katarina Witt. She was the ultimate competitor. She would just stare down people before competition. She was relentless on the ice. – Sarah Hughes
Radio for years and years looked at the same pool of talent. I always believed there were other people in the world that could do radio shows. – Scott Greenstein
Playing piano well is one thing, but attempting to play at concert level accompanying Meryl Streep while Stephen Frears is filming you in front of hundreds of people is – well – psychotic. – Simon Helberg
After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military. – William S. Burroughs
