At the end of the day, my legacy will not be modelling but my cosmetics line.
I loved the High Line when it was just mine, when I was the only person up there, and I had a private park in New York City. I had to make an appointment to see it… I’d walk around. I was all alone.
The bottom line is this: I want America to be at the forefront of innovation in the broadcast sector, the wireless sector, and every other sector of the communications industry.
We knew we were going to do a fashion line at some point.
I did not want to put myself on the line, as an Australian playing Britain’s greatest comic actor. The fans of Sellers are obsessive, possessive – and aggressive. I did not want to risk their anger – or my own reputation.
I think that America in general is piratical. Every time we accept a paycheck for doing almost nothing, allowing us to live above the poverty line, we’re engaging in piracy.
The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote that when you look into the darkness of the abyss the abyss looks into you. Probably no other line or thought more inspires or informs my work.
The one thing you don’t want is that stale sound when you’ve done a line so much you can’t find a fresh approach to it. Drop it.
No very sharp line can be drawn between social psychology and individual psychology.
After the last line of a poem, nothing follows except literary criticism.
The vice president had a bargaining asset, however, that no ordinary person has: He was next in line to the presidency. I saw no chance that he would resign first, then take his chances on trial, conviction, and jail.
Once I was standing in line to buy a telephone and Senator Wirth was in line with me. The next day the New York Times reported that we’d both purchased telephones and what price we’d paid!
It’s what I do best – pry into people’s business and mind their business. I can’t help myself. I can’t even go through the grocery line of the grocery store without talking to people and then giving them my opinion.
The line of least resistance in the progress of civilization is to make that theoretical postulate real by the continually increasing force of the world’s public opinion.
Keep everything in context, and try to have each line doing more than one thing – not just giving exposition but also revealing character and history, etc.
By the time I got to the point where I was ‘starring’ in movies, and I had executives telling me what lines to say, that wasn’t for me. I’m really not an actor. I’m a guy who comes out of comedy, and my impetus was always to rewrite the line to make it funnier, not to try to make somebody’s precious words work.
Don’t walk through life just playing football. Don’t walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone’s life, that’s the ultimate vision, that’s the ultimate goal – bottom line.
Money can come and go, and fame comes and goes. Peace of mind and a relationship with God is far more important, so this is the precedent that we’ve set in our lives. The bottom line is, we all die, so Jesus is the answer.
Eventually, I want to have my own clothing line.
There’s a fine line between the Method actor and the schizophrenic.
The final line in the Second Amendment says, ‘The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’ That means not by the president, not by Congress.
The other inmates stand in a long straight line, flanked by guards, and I am dragged past them. I do not respect them, because they will not run – will not try to escape.
You don’t start a company because you want to be an entrepreneur or the fame and glory that comes along with it. You become an entrepreneur, and you create a company to solve a real problem. And by real problem, I mean a problem that is going to exist down the line.
I was like, ‘You know what, I’m going to try a juice cleanse.’ I’d never done it before but I thought it was a good idea. I was miserable. I wanted food, I was cranky and the bottom line is I don’t think I will ever do that again.
For all that Michael Jordan could run, jump and entertain, he is best known for one thing: He won. If you want to be a great player in this league, you have to focus on one thing – the bottom line, which is winning.
As the Internet of things advances, the very notion of a clear dividing line between reality and virtual reality becomes blurred, sometimes in creative ways.
I came to feel an artist might use anything – a dot, a line, the most conventional or unconventional symbol – t say what he wanted to say.
‘Dus’ was different from ‘Tum Bin,’ and ‘Ra.One’ from ‘Dus,’ but the difference didn’t pop out as much as ‘Mulk.’ That was because it was an issue-based film and crossed the line as being a serious, hard-hitting movie.
You can rule ignorance; you can manipulate the illiterate; you can do whatever you want when a people are uneducated, so that goes in line with corrupt business and corrupt politics.
People always think that history proceeds in a straight line. It doesn’t. Social attitudes don’t change in a straight line. There’s always a backlash against progressive ideas.
If you think about it, every single species is endangered. Homo sapiens at the front of the line, mosquitoes and lawyers at the back.
In my line of work, the enemy gets a vote.
If we could do high-speed rail in California just half a notch above what they’ve done on the Shanghai line in China, and if we had a straight path from L.A. to San Francisco, as well as the milk run, at least that would be progress.
When you’re 89, dementia develops. I mean, I’ve told a story onstage, and I’m telling it with a full heart, and I forgot the damn punch line.
Bitcoin is probably the most portable money in the history of the world. I can download any amount onto a thumb drive and walk across any border without any problems. Or, I could commit to memory a line of code that I can then input into the network and save or spend Bitcoins.
I played with Romario. Sometimes you think he’s sleeping, then in one split second he’s scoring. It’s a big quality. That means a lot of concentration for defenders. He’s always fast, always on the line of sight. That’s his best quality.
The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently.
Where I know I wanna go is being consistent on business, and that’s just making another artist, my clothing line – capitalizing off the moment. I wanna be consistently doing that – capitalizing off every move I make.
The line ‘Take it to the limit’ was to keep trying before you reach a point in your life where you feel you’ve done everything and seen everything – sort of feeling, you know, part of getting old.
Oftentimes, what seems to be a street lunatic charging at me spouting gibberish turns out to be a devoted ‘Simpsons’ fan quoting their favorite line.
When they came to you for your line, you had to be ready and you had to get it in one.
If you believe in a cause, you must be willing to put yourself on the line for that cause.
‘The Wedding Singer’ was my first role ever! It took me, like, 20 takes to say my one line. I went home and cried!
The work of an advertising agency is warmly and immediately human. It deals with human needs, wants, dreams and hopes. Its ‘product’ cannot be turned out on an assembly line.
There isn’t a line that you can draw between the air and your body. We are the environment.
You can graph human evolution, which is mostly a straight line, but we do get better and change over time, and you can graph technological evolution, which is a line that’s going straight up. They are going to intersect each other at some point, and that’s happening now.
Some films, you’re lucky enough to get some rehearsal, which is just basic going through the scene, and, ‘These are my questions, and this is what I’m trying to achieve,’ and you work things out, and maybe a few line changes here or there.
Then I tried out for the Fontana High School drum line, in Riverside, and I did really well. I got second chair, and played snare in that drum line for three years.
I like bootcut jeans in a plain style with a nice line.
Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would yield every honor which has been accorded by war.
There’s a fine line between something saving you time and replacing a bit of you that could be useful. I’ve certainly become more and more aware of that.
You can dominate a game if you dominate on the line… We’re just going to have to go out there and work hard and blow people off the ball, and let our runners do what they do best.
The first complete sentence out of my mouth was probably that line about consistency being the hobgoblin of small minds.
There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt.
I’ve learnt that your life is more interesting and fulfilling when you don’t lead it in a straight line and you go off on zigzags. I’ve made it a rule that if life becomes too comfortable and easy, I’ll disrupt it.
Every pioneer and musician who could carry a musket went into the ranks. Even the sick and foot-sore, who could not keep up in the march, came up as soon as they could find their regiments, and took their places in line of battle, while it was battle, indeed.
