I don’t understand it, how President Johnson can send troops to Vietnam and cannot send troops to Selma, Alabama, to protect people whose only desire is to register to vote. – John Lewis
The people in the villages had turned in on themselves. You can understand it. When you have a bad day on the field, what do you do? Talk to your teammates. – Ian Botham
You see, party labels do not ensure unanimity any more than trying to cast the challenge we confront as a people through a partisan prism. – J. D. Hayworth
We think craft is important, and the irony has always been that horror may be disregarded by critics, but often they are the best-made movies you’re going to find in terms of craft. You can’t scare people if they see the seams. – James Wan
It is important for us to be able to meet and greet the people that we serve. And if we start having police presence everywhere we go, it’s going to create a chilling effect on discourse, and it creates an incredible assault on the democratic process. – Jackie Speier
There aren’t enough people out there that are becoming experts in technology as technology moves. – Jon Oringer
Deeply earnest and thoughtful people stand on shaky footing with the public. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
‘Top Gear’ changed people’s perceptions of me. I’ve had much more positive responses from my TV appearances than written articles. And I have the weirdest voice. – James Blunt
Everybody should want to make sure that we have the cyber tools necessary to investigate cyber crimes, and to be prepared to defend against them and to bring people to justice who commit it. – Janet Reno
I have a real interest in working with younger Native artists. I think it’s a very important way for Native people to communicate the realities of our culture and remember our ancestors. – John Trudell
I always say that in my career as an actress, I’ve always worked with people like David Lynch or Guy Maddin or Peter Weir who are considered not mainstream directors and that could be because they are like my dad. They are pioneers, and pioneers, by definition, invent something new. – Isabella Rossellini
When people are uncomfortable – and many people are when they have to negotiate – they start rambling as a way to fill the vacuum of silence. Some of the strongest negotiators I know just sit back and listen. The less they engage, the more likely the other person is to slip up and offer information they otherwise would have kept guarded. – Ivanka Trump
It seems that when you get to a certain age you almost give yourself permission to misbehave and say what you think. People allow it, with very old people. – Julie Walters
I just want people to remember me like I remember Buster Keaton. When they talk about Buster Keaton or Gene Kelly, people say, ‘Ah yes, they good.’ Maybe one day, they remember Jackie Chan that way. – Jackie Chan
There’s an appetite for vigour in films. The camera loves a bit of movement. Movement is usually attached to younger people and men, and that’s just the way it is. I think that it’s a bitter pill to swallow, but it’s a fact that there aren’t going to be masses and masses of roles for older women because there isn’t the audience for it. – Joanna Lumley
I don’t care if people think I am an overactor, as long as they enjoy what I do. People who think that would call Van Gogh an overpainter. – Jim Carrey
The Europeans and Americans have said the martyrdom operations are why Hamas has been put on the terrorist list. But now these operations have stopped. Did they then remove Hamas from the list of terrorist organisations? We do not launch wars. We are people resisting occupation. – Ismail Haniyeh
As a general principle, the American people would be well served by the active pursuit of effective policies to support longer-run growth in productivity. – Janet Yellen
I hang out and sign records for an hour or two hours every night, and I like to hear as many people’s stories as I can, because if somebody wants to share their story with me, I want to honor that. – John Darnielle
When people ask, Do you like children? I always say, I like some children, yes. Some children I don’t like. – Isaac Mizrahi
My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company. – Jane Austen
Independent filmmakers already have their heads around people on their couches watching their movies. – Jill Soloway
The black person is the protagonist in most of my paintings. I realized that I didn’t see many paintings with black people in them. – Jean-Michel Basquiat
My father was a painter, so I was encouraged to take a sketchbook everywhere. Cameras are perishable, but I still have tonnes of sketchbooks from all the trips I’ve ever been on. It gets you by when you don’t know what to give people as a gift; drawings are good souvenirs. – Jane Birkin
People don’t want to have to justify their privileges; they don’t want to have to justify having access to the power and resource that wealth brings. And by not talking about it, they are able to hold onto their power without being questioned, and I think that makes them feel more secure. – Jamie Johnson
