I just hope Americans come to understand that food isn’t something to be manipulated by our teeth and shoved down our gullet, that it’s our spiritual and physical nourishment and important to our well-being as a nation.
To this day, the first thing that I do every morning is look in the mirror. I’ll tell myself, ‘Look at your skin. Look at your teeth and your smile. You are beautiful.’
Independent films are where you really get to cut your teeth and have some fun and do the things that mainstream Hollywood doesn’t want to do.
I’m a comedian. I can’t get a spray tan. I can’t get a weave. I can’t get my teeth done. Can you imagine if I came out on stage looking really hunky? Comedy doesn’t work like that.
When I was younger, my sister thought it was funny to pretend to punch me in the face because my mom was concerned about my teeth falling out. They were loose for a long time, and she knocked out my teeth.
Good-looking people with strong, fluoridated teeth get things handed to them on platters.
I had big teeth, and I was goofy. I probably used to mess with people too much. People were always trying to be cool, and I was just being goofy and an idiot. So whenever I would get picked on – which happened a lot – I would usually find a way to talk my way out of it or joke my way out of it.
I can’t see any difference in having your hair dyed, your teeth fixed, your nose done, or your face smoothed out or lifted.
Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.
Can you, in a million years, imagine another female senator – Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Claire McCaskill – reacting to being called ‘ma’am’ like Barbara Boxer did? This is the kind of sanctimonious self-absorption on the modern left that makes my teeth itch.
I’ve been singing with Roomful of Teeth since the beginning in 2009, and it’s a really mind-blowingly wonderful vocal ensemble. Very brave and very creative, and they’re some of my closest friends.
The ‘Vampire of Ropraz’ claims to be based on a true story, but the name of Rosa’s father matches that of a notable Swiss artist and restorer. The eventual suspect has the overlong teeth and shambling menace of a would-be vampire, but Chessex leaves the real possibility of his guilt an open question.
I love watching the Oscars and seeing everybody saying all that ‘it’s an honour just to be nominated’ rubbish. Then you see their faces when the split screen comes up as the winner is announced – the losers are all smiling through gritted teeth and looking as if they just swallowed half a pound of soor plooms.
Coming from where I came from, I was born naked with no teeth. Now I have everything.
I do love the idea of ritual. I’m a very ritualistic person. I have to wash my face twice, and on the second wash before I rinse, I brush my teeth, then I rinse, then I floss, then I put on moisturizer. I’m ritualistic. Jewishness is very ritualistic.
The last copy of the Chicago Daily News I picked up had three crime stories on its front page. But by comparison to the gaudy days, this is small-time stuff. Chicago is as full of crooks as a saw with teeth, but the era when they ruled the city is gone forever.
If you chomp down too hard on my work, you’re going to break your teeth.
My father made false teeth. Unfortunately, during the Depression, not many people could afford them, and my parents lost their home.
The initial plan for Rooster Teeth is really different from the initial plan for the group, because we started as a group that was making one show: ‘Red vs. Blue.’
For the scene where I had to taste dirt, I was ready to do it for real. But our amazing art team said it would hurt my teeth and created fake dirt out of chocolate on ice cream Pig Bar.’
It’s nice not to have lines when you frown, especially on TV. I don’t know why people make such a fuss about it. No one is interested if a woman has her teeth capped or her hair dyed.
I dye my hair, and I use teeth whitening strips. Unless I burnt myself or damaged my skin, I wouldn’t have cosmetic surgery.
We usually use that mostly on the weekends because we have access to the range during the week. But I can tell you a number of times they have had a training holiday at Fort Benning, so nobody trains, and to drag him in is like pulling teeth.
The late, great Janis Joplin could drink ten men under the table, then sing loud enough to shake the teeth out of their head.
I have a couple of gold teeth. I had braces for a year but I didn’t wear the retainer.
I have problems because I’m very expressive, and usually red lipstick gets on my teeth and face.
The most difficult book I wrote was the fourth in a series of linked children’s books. It was like pulling teeth because the publisher wanted exactly the same but completely different. I’d much rather just do something completely different, even if there’s a risk of it going wrong.
I’ve always been unhappy with my teeth. I’ve lost most of them from my bottom jaw, and those in the upper jaw have been screwed in or capped. As a result, I’ve got great hollows under my cheeks, and my bone structure seems accentuated.
I wrote ‘My Teeth Hurt’ in April 2018 when my teeth hurt and I didn’t have dental insurance.
We might knit that knot with our tongues that we shall never undo with our teeth.
I grew up in a house where my father went on auditions, and he got some and he lost some, and there were good years and lean years. I didn’t expect anything from the business, and that’s often a danger in Hollywood, the notion that if you’re pretty and have white teeth and just show up for the game then you’ll win.
This country is armed to the teeth, and none of these African states could begin to attack South Africa.
Let us have a dagger between our teeth, a bomb in our hands, and an infinite scorn in our hearts.
My tenth-ever gig was in an arena, which is mad… I remember being backstage with multiple artists there and someone had had their teeth done – like veneers – and I come from a very small village where people are lucky to even have all their teeth.
I’m incredibly optimistic about what individuals can do. We have technology that our grandparents would have given their eye teeth for.
I keep pushing for the Crest Whitestrips thing. I get so many compliments on how white my teeth are, but I have to say it’s not because of my brushing skills. It’s from Crest Whitestrips, and that’s the honest truth. I don’t believe in going to the dentist and paying for whitening.
You just have to stand and grit your teeth and know your poll numbers are going to go down – and mine have – but you gotta grit through it because the alternative is unacceptable.
Dancing should be as much a part of our daily routine as brushing our teeth.
I wouldn’t even have braces on my teeth. I think they are horrible and this idea that everyone should conform and be perfect is ridiculous.
My siblings and I have got the worst teeth in Britain.
I changed my thinking on the whole subject of what it is to be attractive. It’s fine, but I know that ultimately what I am and who I am is not cheekbones and a jawline, if you catch my drift. I ultimately know that who I am is not directly proportional to abs or straight teeth.
I’d managed to bite a very large hole in the side of my tongue before they could pry my teeth apart. By all evidence, and there’s no denying it, that thing I had on the set was a fit.
If the Internet has been called a great democratizer, perhaps what social media has done is let anyone enter the beauty pageant. Teens can cover up pimples, whiten teeth, and even airbrush with the swipe of a finger, curating their own image to become prettier, thinner, and hotter.
My goal is that after seeing ‘Grand Canyon,’ every person in the audience will go home knowing they have to conserve water: even something as simple as installing a low-flow toilet or showerhead, or turning off the faucet while they’re brushing their teeth.
Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth.
I am so stressed that my dentist told me I am grinding my teeth due to stress. So, every evening, I get shooting pain from my jaw to my head.
Growing up, I would have to watch the other children and learn from my mistakes. I would have to push myself to overcome the things most people don’t have to think about. Brushing my teeth was very difficult because of the noise of the brush.
The only way a ventriloquist speaks differently is that he forgoes using his or her lips, and learns to reproduce sounds using the tongue, upper palate, and teeth only. Those ‘difficult’ letters are B, F, M, P, V, W, and Y.
It’s extraordinary what children put up with. I happened to see two of my uncles put my father up against the wall of my grandmother’s house and knock his teeth out, because he’d been unpleasant to my mother. The next day I went upstairs and found my father making a rather half-hearted attempt to gas himself.
I like getting my hand raised and I’ll take it any way I can get it. Slipping on a banana peel, by the skin of my teeth. By any means, you know?
I feel like if you spend too much time on the record then theres something wrong. It shouldnt be like pulling teeth. It should come naturally.
As for the fake teeth, they’re officially retired. I haven’t really found a need or want to wear them.
