I know I’m wonderfully made, and nobody can take that away from me. So regardless of what I show you or expose to you, you don’t have any bearing on my worth and what I mean.
I remember seeing ‘The Babadook’ and I thought that was such a wonderfully dramatic story but told with these horrifying elements, and that’s incredible. It did give me nightmares but I was glad that I watched it.
My character in ‘Running With Scissors’ is manic-depressive. She starts out as a wonderfully eccentric person, and then descends into a terrible illness.
We live in bodies that are fearfully and wonderfully made, yet they are not immune to illness and pain. We have hearts that are capable of experiencing great love, but sometimes they get broken.
The space and light up there in Norfolk is wonderfully peaceful. I find myself doing funny things like gardening, and cooking, which I rarely do in London.
I have a wonderfully hedonistic appetite, and if I wasn’t really strict with myself, I’d weigh 300 pounds. I’m not good with moderation.
George Martin looks like Santa Claus, but he’s got a wonderfully disturbed mind.
My wife and I now live in the summers in northern Michigan in an environment which is wonderfully conducive to research, and where most of my work in the last 15 years has been done.
Tunings are wonderfully inspiring, and it helps you to write music. If I’m stuck, you know, I change the tuning.
Sometimes, I look out at nature and I think, ‘Everything here is obeying my conjecture.’ It’s a wonderfully narcissistic feeling.
The whole of Cornwall has become antiseptic. When I was growing up in St. Austell, the county was wonderfully rough and workish. These days it is polite and Disney-fied.
We all have a responsibility, and since I’ve been so wonderfully blessed, I really want to share and to make life at least a little better. So every chance I get to share the gospel or uplift people, I will take full advantage of that opportunity.
Seeing The English Patient is wonderfully draining, but imagine acting in it for six months.
Men who love their mothers treat women wonderfully. And they have enormous respect for women.
I love the practicality of a good car. You know what I mean? And when I say ‘practicality,’ I mean the complete practicality of a Ferrari 458, a wonderfully fantastic every day car.
The phonograph and kinetoscope may some day seize and perpetuate all save the magnetic touch, but that weird, illusive, indefinable yet wonderfully real power by which the orator subdues may never be caught by science or preserved for the cruel dissecting knife of the critic.
I’ve discovered that Motown and Broadway have a lot in common – a family of wonderfully talented, passionate, hardworking young people, fiercely competitive but also full of love and appreciation for the work, for each other and for the people in the audience.
I wonder if it is Australia’s great distance from more populated land masses that allows its inhabitants to be left to their own devices, to be incredibly creative and, at times, to be wonderfully weird.
I feel like the scripts were so wonderfully written in the sense that my character in ‘1666’ and my character in ‘1994’ mirrored each other in a really nice way. They’re both so strong, empowered, determined, and passionate.
It might sound strange to describe New Yorkers as insecure when they delight so much in the cult of success. The display of wealth here, especially new wealth, is indeed wonderfully frank, from the super-long limousines which clog up the roads to the voluptuous fur coats that adorn both men and women.
The closing of a door can bring blessed privacy and comfort – the opening, terror. Conversely, the closing of a door can be a sad and final thing – the opening a wonderfully joyous moment.
Living in England was wonderfully civil and easy-going.
In certain professions, you can love your profession; you can do it in a very professional way and do it wonderfully, but you do not have this possibility to communicate with others – I express myself singing, and I think this is a real luxury.
I was 24 when I was offered ‘Doomwatch.’ There was an option for a further series, and I turned it down. It is a wonderfully glorious thing to be unknowingly arrogant.
As soon as you see ‘Dame’ in front of someone’s name, you get nervous, but Dame Maggie Smith is the most wonderfully gentle woman I have ever met. She never had a bad word to say.
I have a very wonderfully, bizarrely amazing relationship with my mother in that we’ve been through a myriad of emotions because we’ve acted together and played all these different kinds of mother-daughters.
I’ve had wonderfully lucrative offers to do another network series. I could do that again and have a very luscious retirement.
I was quite shy when I was younger, but I’m not one of those people who can complain of a bad childhood or any trauma. There was none in my life. I had a wonderfully happy childhood.
It’s quite fashionable to say that the educational system is broken. It’s not broken. It’s wonderfully constructed. It’s just that we don’t need it anymore.
It’s a wonderfully democratic method, publishing a text on the Internet.
Truth is, I love all the horror guys and girls: Gord Rollo, Shirley Jackson, Harlan Ellison, Ramsey Campbell, Dan Simmons, Thomas Ligotti. Each one of them brings something wonderfully different and, because I love the genre, I love those who love the genre, too. And I hope the genre ends up loving me back.
The Tigris in parts is wonderfully tortuous, and at one great bend, ‘The Devil’s Elbow,’ a man on foot can walk the distance in less than an hour which takes the steamer four hours to accomplish.
I had to go on the strict caveman diet where you eat only vegetables, chicken, and egg whites. This diet in many ways sounds right to me, and it has worked wonderfully.
‘Derry Girls’ just has a sense of knowing exactly who these people are and also a fun memory of how things were, even in spite of all the chaos around them. It’s very entertaining and it stays wonderfully buoyant because it focuses on the kids and the families.
I wrote ‘Airborn’ after completing three books about bats. I loved my bats, but what a treat it was to write about humans again. They could eat food other than midges and mosquitoes, they wore clothing, they slept in beds – all this struck me as wonderfully novel.
I am never so happy as when I am really engaged in good earnest, & it makes me must wonderfully cheerful & merry at other times, which is curious & very satisfactory.
There are wonderfully talented actresses. It’s a really rich field. There isn’t as rich a field of material.
Silent pictures show us how we lived and what our attitudes were. And as an art form, they can be wonderfully entertaining and often inspirational.
I read a lot of F. Scott Fitzgerald. I love ‘Tender is the Night,’ and its atmosphere of doomed romance. He was one of the greatest prose stylists, with a wonderfully clear but lyrical quality.
The last time I was unemployed was 1989, and I’ve seen the research on retired people and how they feel about it. I’m definitely wired in a way that you wouldn’t predict it would go wonderfully.
The pleasure of writing fiction is that you are always spotting some new approach, an alternative way of telling a story and manipulating characters; the novel is such a wonderfully flexible form.
‘Hustle’ is wonderfully enjoyable because all my life, I’ve made an effort to be with people who can make me laugh. That original cast – Marc Warren, Jaime Murray, Robert Glenister and Adrian Lester – are all funny. So I know every day I’ll have a few good laughs.
I think my roles have been wonderfully varied. Not one has been racially stereotypical, and I have purposely chosen them like that.
Sundance is incredible and has been very important for my career as a filmmaker, but it’s also not the only route to success. There are a ton of great movies that don’t get in and go on and do wonderfully.
I am trained, and I did do ‘The Nutcracker’ in its right form, but at the time, they told me I was black and I’d never be in ‘Swan Lake.’ I went through all those prejudices in the ballet community, and I still emerged wonderfully trained and found my way to Alvin Ailey where there were familiar faces.
Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question ‘How?’ but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question ‘Why?’
I worked very hard on me and David’s record and I’m extremely proud of the record, as most people are who were involved with it. And, it’s been wonderfully received by people who like our kind of music, they think it’s something special, and so do I.
Naturalism teaches one of the most important things in this world. There is only this life, so live wonderfully and meaningfully.
Because of the wonderfully positive response to ‘Life’s That Way,’ I am considering writing some more autobiographical stuff – maybe another book. I don’t know. It doesn’t help that I’m lazy.
