Growing up in Hollywood meant there were a lot of film stars’ kids at my school – but no conspicuous wealth. It wasn’t cool to show off that you had money. – Zooey Deschanel
Scientists are not movie stars or politicians who will feel insulted if they are not showered with accolades. Scientists are not interested in accolades. – Venkatraman Ramakrishnan
One of the great things about stargazing is that it’s immediately at hand for so many people. You know, you could get into scuba diving or bird watching, but the stars are always up there. – Timothy Ferriss
One of the tricky things about running a TV show is that you just never know how good the guest stars you cast on a weekly basis, how good they’re going to be in the episode. Sometimes they surprise you in good ways and sometimes they surprise you in disappointing ways. – Shawn Ryan
Rock stars get room keys, I get business cards. Wherever I go I meet innovators of wind power equipment, solar energy operators. – Thomas Friedman
The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet. – Walter Reisch
After so much reality TV and confessional celebrity interviews, the public is tired of accessible stars. Who needs them to be ‘Just Like Us?’ ‘Just Like Us’ means just as boring as we are. – Tina Brown
Law students have taken over Hollywood. To them it’s all about making money. They know people want to see what they’ve seen before. Also, remakes are places to showcase the new stars of tomorrow. – Tobe Hooper
You know that everyone thinks that in order to do South Park we must be wild, crazy, rock and roll stars. But the truth is we’re just wholesome middle-American guys. We enjoy soda pop, baseball and beating up old people just as much as anybody. – Trey Parker
I am deeply grieved by the loss of the crew of Columbia. I express my sincere condolences to the families and friends of the astronauts. I believe that their names will remain as the bright sparkling stars in the universe and will light the way for those who will follow them on the difficult roads of space exploration. – Valentina Tereshkova
I would make the movie industry more like the television industry. TV is more material driven. In TV, you can break new stars. TV can take more chances. – Stephen Chbosky
Let’s be clear about one thing: a film about Katharine Hepburn is an excellent idea. She was one of the most fascinating, complex stars ever to grace a motion picture screen, and she deserves a full-scale, big-screen biographical treatment. – William J. Mann
I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, – and the stars through his soul. – Victor Hugo
I’ll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don’t have to be famous. – Sia Furler
Generally speaking, they have as many stars as other firms, but they are low-key about it, because that’s not the Goldman way, but their bench is a lot deeper. I think Goldman has as many A players, but more importantly they have fewer C players. And no firm, I have noticed, has the depth anywhere like that. – William D. Cohan
‘Badmaash Company’ and ‘Delhi Belly’ was about friends, and I was part of the gang. And yes, they did have stars playing the lead! You do need a star to sell a film; and playing the second lead doesn’t bother me. – Vir Das
Basically, independent film doesn’t exist anymore. It does if you have two or three stars in your film, but it’s just very difficult. – Steven Shainberg
There’s a lot going on in country music, with indie-label hipsters and underground bloggers arguing their interpretations of what country is, and pop-country stars defending themselves. That deserves to be poked fun at. – Sturgill Simpson
If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, it would have recollapsed before it reached its present size. On the other hand, if it had been greater by a part in a million, the universe would have expanded too rapidly for stars and planets to form. – Stephen Hawking
People always ask me, ‘Is there a rivalry between the Nickelodeon and Disney stars? Do you guys hate each other?’ Like everyone has to be on one team. If you’re a Selena Gomez fan, you can’t be a Victoria Justice fan. We’re both half-Latin, and people put us in the same category. – Victoria Justice
Those are the same stars, and that is the same moon, that look down upon your brothers and sisters, and which they see as they look up to them, though they are ever so far away from us, and each other. – Sojourner Truth
As far as the filmmaking process is concerned, stars are essentially worthless – and absolutely essential. – William Goldman
If someone is going to permit me to make a publication that is politically and culturally progressive and not tell me to put their favorite movie stars on the cover, if I get to do what I want in an honest way – as I did in the beginning at ‘Colors’ – then I’m going to do it. – Tibor Kalman
How far away the stars seem, and how far is our first kiss, and ah, how old my heart. – William Butler Yeats
If you start out with a little telescope observing the stars and you keep at it over the years, as I have, it’s kind of a dream to one day have an observatory where you can always go and use the telescope conveniently. – Timothy Ferriss
