It's far better to shoot a good picture than a good-looking picture.
I think it's easiest to teach by example. My dad didn't tell us to work hard we just saw how hard he worked. I know I have shortcomings - like a short fuse - but I've learned you can't come home from a long day of work and snap at the kids.
Chris O'Donnell
So long as the law considers all these human beings, with beating hearts and living affections, only as so many things belonging to the master -- so long as the failure, or misfortune, or imprudence, or death of the kindest owner, may cause them any day to exchange a life of kind protection and indulgence for one of hopeless misery and toil -- so long it is impossible to make anything beautiful or desirable in the best-regulated administration of slavery.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man.
Salman Rushdie, indeed any writer who abuses the prophet or indeed any prophet under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death.
Cat Stevens
The longest day must have its close --the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning. An eternal, inexorable lapse of moments is ever hurrying the day of the evil to an eternal night, and the night of the just to an eternal day.
When I started Netscape I was brand new out of college and all the aspects of building a business, like balance sheets and hiring people, were new to me.
Marc Andreessen
Wise men make more opportunities than they find.
Francis Bacon
What force is more potent than love?
Igor Stravinsky
Is it not by love alone that we succeed in penetrating to the very essence of being?
Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.
John Wooden
Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end.
A good composer does not imitate; he steals.
In the aftermath of September 11, and as the 9/11 Commission report so aptly demonstrates, it is clear that our intelligence system is not working the way that it should.
Hillary Clinton
He's a legend and I respect his work, so I went down and paid my respects when Charlton was on the set. He was nice but I think he lied a little. He said it was an honour to be in a movie with me, but I don't believe it.
Mark Wahlberg
Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory.
Claude Debussy
The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
Bertrand Russell
I always believe it's better to have 30 imaginations working on a project, rather than one imagination telling the other 29 what to do.
Trevor Nunn
I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol.
Steven Seagal
I cannot sing, dance or act what else would I be but a talk show host.
David Letterman
People have a fear of the unknown. Insects have different senses than us, different amount of limbs and their body structure is very different. It's hard for us to really relate to them and understand them.
Dominic Monaghan
Stadium rock and commercial rock are the opposite of what poetry needs. An audience of around 200 is ideal for poetry.
Adrian Mitchell
Every piece of entertainment is made with the idea that 'This is going to be terrific' and 'This is the best thing I've ever done' and then it hits the public and then the public tells you whether it's good or bad.
William Shatner
I realized that I loved using computers to create something, but being an architect just wasn't going to keep me interested. The idea of a life spent obsessing over bathroom details for an Upper East Side penthouse was pretty depressing.
Joseph Kosinski
Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.
Benjamin Franklin
I love each and every one of you but, like my own family, you thrill, you frustrate, you anger.
John Buchanan
If your man is a sports enthusiast, you may have to resign yourself to his spouting off in a monotone on a prize fight, football game or pennant race.
Marilyn Monroe
I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office.
Newt Gingrich
The desire to hit a big home run is dominating the music business.
Billy Corgan
The exact measure of the progress of civilization is the degree in which the intelligence of the common mind has prevailed over wealth and brute force.
George Bancroft
I see a wiser person than when I was younger: having babies, and passing 30, were the turning points. What women in their 40s - I am 39 - lack in gorgeousness, they make up for in wisdom. I love ageing, despite the drawbacks - thinner, drier skin.
Thandie Newton
The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.
Karl Marx
While only about half of the voters feel they know very much about Reagan or what he stands for, the Republicans who do have a very positive perception of him.
Robert Teeter
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
John F. Kennedy
I want to apologize to all of the people I have let down because of my behavior which has reflected badly on my family, friends, co-workers, business associates and others.
Kate Moss
There's a lot more to see when you're playing and because of the advances in technology it makes room for all kinds of new characters.
Tara Strong
The time to read is any time: no apparatus, no appointment of time and place, is necessary. It is the only art which can be practiced at any hour of the day or night, whenever the time and inclination comes, that is your time for reading in joy or sorrow, health or illness.
Holbrook Jackson
Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side.
Sheila Jackson Lee
There's a book called 'The Shack' - it had a lot to do with me coming full circle, meeting my birth mother. Awhile back, my birth mom and my adopted mom came to my show together, and it was pretty surreal.
Rodney Atkins
Ignorance is the curse of God knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
William Shakespeare
The Russians feared Ike. They didn't fear me.
Lyndon B. Johnson
