I want to thank everybody and anybody who ever had anything to do with the making of this picture. – Morgan Freeman
What we realize is number one, people want to know what the Bible says. In their heart, they want to know the Bible but it is just hard to understand the big picture of it. And number two, they want to know where they plug in. – Max Lucado
Vanity’s really overrated. When I was 20, teenage girls had my picture on the wall… I don’t need to be pretty anymore. I just am who I am. – Michael J. Fox
A lot of times we base everything just on our immediate circumstance. We don’t see a big picture for our lives. We don’t love ourselves. We don’t have a way of kind of gauging the future. – Jennifer Holliday
I tend to gravitate toward reporters who cover all aspects of the story: from personal aspects to the big picture that answer the ‘so what’ of a story. – James G. Stavridis
The picture is all he feels about it, all he thinks worth preserving of it, all he invests it with. If all the qualities which a painter took from the model for his picture were really taken, no person could be painted twice. – Lucian Freud
You go down some street – no doubt it’s there, and we have to do something about it, and our programmes are designed to do that – but if that’s a picture of Newcastle, it’s not the one I recognise and I bet none in the North East do either. – John Prescott
I think what was frustrating to see a lot of good people go. You don’t picture it, you don’t imagine it, don’t think it could happen. When it does, you are puzzled. – LaToya London
I read everything aloud, novels as well as picture books. I believe the eye and ear are different listeners. So as writers, we have to please both. – Jane Yolen
And I remember that the editors wanted to have a witness to say that this was really the case, because it was a very sharp picture of the just the face, the head of the fetus inside the womb. – Lennart Nilsson
These days, it takes only seconds – seconds – for a picture, a photo, to suddenly become an international headline. – Leon Panetta
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In the nonprofit world, the right picture is worth tens of thousands of dollars. I use PhotoPad to sync our Samasource Flickr account to my iPad and slip it out of my purse at cocktail parties to tell our story. – Leila Janah
Sometimes we misunderstand what films can do. We just throw a whole book in there, with people just talking, talking, and talking. The picture can tell, the frame can tell. – Mads Mikkelsen

We paint a slow picture. You can see the brushstrokes. We don’t get to the point, and sometimes when we do, our readers don’t notice, in fact. It’s so couched in nuance, it can fly right over a person’s head. ‘What was that you said? I couldn’t quite make it out.’ – Lydia Millet

When judging a product, we rarely have exhaustive scientific data to go by. As a result, if we are to form a complete picture, we must fill in the blanks, just as we must in our visual perception. – Leonard Mlodinow
My mode as a writer is to layer different perspectives: the scientific, the philosophical, the political, the journalistic. When you layer them, you get a really wholesome, interesting picture. – Michael Pollan
I think sometimes as an adult, you take people for what they do, and what they are now, instead of the whole picture of their lives. – Lisa See
Half of me is very excited and the other half is ‘Haven’t we seen this stuff before?’ But I’m very impressed. I almost couldn’t picture it when it was being put together. I couldn’t picture it being in my hand, what it would look like. – Jaime Hernandez
We live in such a gullible world. Anything that’s written, anything that’s posted, anything picture that is interpreted one way is taken as truth. – Keri Hilson
I no longer look at my life and times in the motion picture industry as my career. I just look at it now as something I like and want to do. – Kurt Russell
