Writers – all writers, even screenwriters – like to make their mark. I don’t think many screenwriters can write. They pass as writers.

Pain is the question mark turned like a fishhook in the human heart.
I’ve been thinking, in an age of Trump where you don’t know the direction of the country, the person you need most is a steady conservative hand like Mark Kirk in the Senate to be advising the president, especially on national security topics … which is my particular expertise after 23 years in the Navy.
The shock of any trauma, I think changes your life. It’s more acute in the beginning and after a little time you settle back to what you were. However it leaves an indelible mark on your psyche.
I can remember arguing for two days with Mark Saunders about ‘Strugglin’.’ He said: ‘This can’t work. It’s not musically correct.’ And I said: ‘If I can hear it in my brain you can’t tell me it can’t work.’
The mark of higher education isn’t the knowledge you accumulate in your head. It’s the skills you gain about how to learn.
When you look at Mark Zuckerberg and Snapchat and all these twentysomething billionaires, it’s really kind of fascinating; a classic tale of the haves and have-nots.
The artist doesn’t really think about consequences – he or she does the work, stands back and looks at and thinks, ‘Hmm, that could have worked better like this.’ But as a person who needs to sell tickets to do the next work, one needs to analyze how it does or does not hit its mark.
I guess I’m interested in people who are very sophisticated in intellectual ways, while being completely off the mark in emotional ones, with these huge blind spots in terms of their own behavior.
Everything that is bad, the falling sickness – God save the mark – or the like, should be at its worst at the full moon. I suppose because it is the leader of the stars.
I’m very cognizant of the image that’s being put out there and the way in which people perceive me. I’m honored and flattered that they see me as being a decent human being. I try my best to be a decent human being, but I fall short of the mark like we all do on a regular basis.
You win a race, the next race it’s a question mark. Are you still the best or not? That’s what is funny. But that’s what is interesting. And that’s what is challenging. You have to prove yourself every time.
It does blow me away, though, when I see Werdum just got the belt at 37 and then you see Mark Hunt still fighting at 40. All these different things. It is amazing. I don’t know. They’re out there, they’re doing it.
Even before the world had any cognizance of India as an economy, HCL had made a mark with its microprocessor in the ’80s. HCL pioneered modern computing.

I’ve noticed that in the U.S., when the president hits the three-year mark in office, he goes into re-election campaigning.
I respect Mark Hughes, and I respect what he has done for me.
The first footfalls on Mars will mark a historic milestone, an enterprise that requires human tenacity matched with technology to anchor ourselves on another world.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
If we do not elect a national legislature that will hold Obama accountable, he and his radical cohorts will destroy the tree of liberty. Just mark my words.
In the case of ‘Zero Dark Thirty,’ about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, an issue that is central to the film – torture – is so important that I feel I must say something. Mark Boal and Kathryn Bigelow have been irresponsible and inaccurate in the way they have treated this issue in their film.
Love between a man and a woman is founded on the mating instinct and is not free from desire and self-seeking. But to have a friend and to be true under any and all trials is the mark of a man!
My musical director, Mark Cherry, is the most wonderful person who ever lived on God’s good green Earth. He’s my director, he does the arrangements. Really, he does everything – including certain janitorial chores!
I saw ‘Sleeping Beauty’ when I was, like, 6 years old at the Mercury Theatre. Then, when I came to Disney, I was in the company of these wonderful artists. People like Glen Keane, like Mark Henn, who were brilliant animators who could really bring these things to life.
I grew up under demanding people, that demanded things from you, expected you to toe the mark.

What’s the difference between me and Mark Udall on contraception? I believe the pill ought to be available over the counter, around the clock, without a prescription. Cheaper and easier for you.
I like tricks; I like to dazzle. Dribbling and leaving your opponent on his backside is what life is for. If I achieve what I want to, then I’ll mark a distinct era in football. I’m the Che Guevara of modern soccer.
Particularly the mark for success for us would be that a woman can not only walk in the streets of every major city, but can go from one province to another without any hindrance.
If our psychology seems crude and weak in what it can say about the great human experiences, it is better to make that clear and to mark where we must go than to ignore it.
I’m such a fan of Daniel Waters, who wrote the script, and also Mark Waters, his brother, who directed. ‘Vampire Academy’ has, I think, an iconic director.
The mark of a good marriage is partnership and continuing to feel inspired by your spouse. I had that with Tao. But the end is not necessarily the tragedy. Staying in a relationship that is no longer working is the tragedy. Living unhappily – that’s the tragedy.
I remember I met Mark Jackson – and even now he still remembers me from middle school.
November 11, 1802, I arrived at Judge Patterson’s at Lisle. This respectable family treated me with every mark of distinction and friendship, and likewise all the people did the same. I really want for words to express my gratitude.
I had a nervous breakdown when I was 17 or 18, when I had to go and work with Marky Mark and Herb Ritts. It didn’t feel like me at all. I felt really bad about straddling this buff guy. I didn’t like it.
I love fashion, beauty, glamour. It’s the mark of civilisation.
Imagine that your life’s efforts serve as a mark of God and that the only way the divine is seen, heard or expressed is through the legacy you leave behind. The yearning to make a difference is your need to express your purpose and derive meaning from your time on earth.
The biggest start-up successes – from Henry Ford to Bill Gates to Mark Zuckerberg – were pioneered by people from solidly middle-class backgrounds. These founders were not wealthy when they began. They were hungry for success, but knew they had a solid support system to fall back on if they failed.
If I can make my mark just a little bit, then great.
This is the mark of a really admirable man: steadfastness in the face of trouble.
If you fail to make a mark, you might not get good work later. So, it is important for every actor to have a plan B to bank on. Here, nothing lasts forever. That’s why my husband pushes me to do different things in life.
I remember, in 1993, sitting in the back watching him; I’d never met him. He hit a triple moonsault. I jumped out of my seat. As a fan, I’ve always been a huge mark for Sabu.
I plan on making my mark on the legacy of hip-hop, period, but also in Atlanta production because there’s a lot of history there.
To apologize for the Balfour Declaration would be to apologize for the existence of Israel and to question its right to exist. Here in Britain, we will not merely mark the centenary – we will celebrate it with pride.
Just so we’re clear, Mark Watney is who I want to be. He has all the qualities I like about myself magnified without any of the qualities I dislike. Mark Watney isn’t afraid to fly.

‘Misery’ left a lasting mark on me. When I die, it will be ‘Kathy ‘Misery’ Bates Is Dead.’
I’m sure Mark Carney is a very clever young man, but I think that the government would be mad to move from inflation targeting to money GDP targeting.
I think the thing that makes ‘NCIS’ so special is the team and the group. And there’s our fearless leader, Mark Harmon. We all really enjoy working together, so it would be a shame if we weren’t all there having fun together.
The mere assemblage of peace loving people to interchange convincing reasons for their common faith, mere exhortation and argument to the public in favor of peace in general fall short of the mark.
I’ve entered politics the moment I marked my finger with the electoral voting mark. So I’ve entered politics, but I am not a politician. I am doing my duty as a citizen of India.
I want to leave a mark on society.
For this is the mark of a wise and upright man, not to rail against the gods in misfortune.
It was considered the most dangerous route in the Hills, but as my reputation as a rider and quick shot was well known, I was molested very little, for the toll gatherers looked on me as being a good fellow, and they knew that I never missed my mark.
I was a big fan of the more Mexican-based wrestlers when I started watching WCW, and I saw guys like Silver King, Eddie Guerrero, and Rey Mysterio. And where I come from, we have this European heritage with World of Sport with guys like Johnny Saint, Johnny Kidd, ‘Rollerball’ Mark Rocco, Robbie Brookside.
In my entire career, only two actors challenged me as villain in my films. One is Raghuvaran’s character of Mark Antony in ‘Baasha’ and Ramya Krishnan’s portrayal of Neelambari in ‘Padaiyappa.’
I think a lot of the American people feel more than a little disappointed that the high-water mark for human exploration was 1969. The dream of human space travel has almost died for a lot of people.
No matter what your company does – build, manage, produce, import – as an owner, you can’t avoid the hard work and skip straight to success. No class can give you that, no YouTube video can teach it, and no book can mark it off your list.
The first campaign that I recall was with Kate Moss and Marky Mark. Probably the most iconic jeans ad ever.

Along with my colleagues Mark Warner and Sheldon Whitehouse, I have been working to end the process of secret holds, which is when senators anonymously block legislation or nominations without explanation.
I often imagine what it would be like if my father were still here to mark his 100th birthday, if Alzheimer’s hadn’t clawed away years, possibilities, hopes. What would he think of all the commemorations and celebrations?
I’m still the biggest wrestling fan there is; I’m the biggest mark in the land. I just took it further and started doing it!
Facebook is a known behemoth corporate monopoly. It has exposed at least 87 million people’s data, enabled foreign propaganda and perpetuated discrimination. We shouldn’t be begging for Facebook’s endorsement of laws, or for Mark Zuckerberg’s promises of self-regulation.
I lost my front tooth in rugby league when a fat guy from Bellevue Hill kicked me in the face as I got up from a tackle to mark him. I made this decision not to cap the tooth because I thought it was false. But I didn’t make any movies as a teenager, and I had a very hard time with girls and stuff.
I have a stab wound on my left hip and one on my thigh and a slash mark across my right calf. I have a bottle stab wound on my left calf.
Colour does not make so much difference. Look at the Bach Chaconne: There is not one dynamic mark in the whole Bach Chaconne. Colours do not make so much difference.
I want my music to leave an indelible mark.
I forget what I wore for my first encounter with Mark Zuckerberg. I know it wasn’t a suit – that would have seemed out of place in the rigorously casual world of Facebook. I probably wore what I usually wear, a pair of jeans and a Gap T-shirt, maybe my black sneakers.
Every decade, we get a stunning collection of dynamic, heartbreaking short stories. In the past, those collections came from Barry Hannah, Mark Richard, and Thom Jones.
Mark Winchester has left the band. He’s decided that he’s tired of the road and just wants to concentrate on his career in Nashville. I don’t blame him at all. He’ll certainly be missed.
There are a number of World War II historians I admire: Cornelius Ryan, Mark Stoler, Antony Beevor, to name a few. As for generals, there are those I admire as combat leaders and others I admire because they’re great fun to write about.
It’s certainly not easy for an outsider to make a mark because they don’t know anyone. You don’t get written about as nobody knows who you are. So, you don’t get that much attention when you are doing something compared to people that the media is aware of.
For me, art is supposed to be a question mark.
Mark Zuckerberg is a genius. Not in the Asperger’s, autistic way depicted in the very fictional movie ‘The Social’ Network, the cognitive genius of exceptional ability. That’s a modern definition that reduces the original meaning.
The ability to change one’s views without losing one’s seat is the mark of a great politician.
I bought a book of Mark Twain quotes. That’s about my speed. I’ll read a couple quotes and put it down.
Who have I picked fights with over the years? Bill Gates. Google. Mark Zuckerberg. Even – despite everything that’s written about my relationship with Steve Jobs – we had yelling matches.

It wasn’t until my teenage years that a book really left a mark, and that was George Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four.’ It was on the syllabus at school when I was about 16, and I went on to read more of his books. It was the height of the Cold War, so a lot of the messages really resonated at the time.
The greatness of Mac Rebennack, alias, Dr. John, also known as John Crieux, rests on his command of the musical use of idiomatic expression. Not a technically well-endowed singer, nor a great songwriter, he leaves his mark through the discipline and control he exerts over all that he touches.
Like Americans, people outside America want fun, want an emotional compensation for the utilitarianism and calculation that mark the rest of their lives.
As successful as ‘Borderlands’ is and as much fun as everyone is having going after all the loot and finding and using all the weapons in the game, I often think that we really missed the mark by only doing 87 bazillion guns.
Badges mean nothing in themselves, but they mark a certain achievement and they are a link between the rich and the poor. For when one girl sees a badge on a sister Scout’s arm, if that girl has won the same badge, it at once awakens an interest and sympathy between them.
I hold that the mark of a genuine idea is that its possibility can be proved, either a priori by conceiving its cause or reason, or a posteriori when experience teaches us that it is in fact in nature.
When you handwrite something, you’re writing your most raw, pure thoughts. If you want to change it, then you have to mark it out, and people can see you laboring over that thought. I think even the act of hand, pen, and paper is much more intimate than with a computer screen.
When the period arrives – come when it may – that this government will be compelled to resort to internal taxes for its support in time of peace, it will mark one of the most difficult and dangerous stages through which it is destined to pass.
If you’re not competitive, if you’re not out to make a mark, you shouldn’t be in the news business.
I like to weed out the people who aren’t going to enjoy me straight off the bat. If you look at all my specials, I do start more extreme and then, as I get into it, sort of at the three-quarter mark, I normally have a bit of pathos. Is pathos the right word?
We’re a big check mark on everybody’s schedule. I told them it’s just another challenge, let’s go after it.
I used to wear a lot of red lipstick, and when I got a pimple, I’d cover it up with eyeliner to turn it into a beauty mark.
In the end, censoring a comedian’s jokes is on par with censoring ‘Huckleberry Finn.’ Now, I’m not comparing myself to Mark Twain – he had much wavier hair and a slightly thicker mustache. But when you deny an artist the chance to explore his art, you’re forcing your beliefs on him.
I would be so happy to be Young Hulk. I cannot even explain to you. That would be so dope. He was my favorite Marvel hero, and the fact that Mark Ruffalo plays him is sick.
I love this country, I love these people, though I can’t say I love their politicians. People are always nicer than politicians, but here, you can mark that difference up a hundredfold.
A mark of stupidity is a belief that one party is totally virtuous and correct on the issues while the other is evil and always wrong.
It was tough to cope with the pressure of having to talk about menstruation, but now with ‘Newsweek’ splashing it as the cover story, I thing the point I wished to make has found its mark.
I had wanted to be a Calvin Klein model since I was 17. Marky Mark in his Calvin Kleins was the epitome of male sexuality. That was something I worked for.
The mark of a writer is to make a story as likely as possible, and I’ve done my best to deliver authentic atmosphere.
The reason there’s a question mark on my front door is just in case I forget my address.
In 2008, many Democrats and Republicans believed Hillary Clinton to be a responsible public leader – a firm hand on the wheel, experienced in matters of diplomacy, conflict, and national interest. The 3 A.M. phone call was a question mark with Barack Obama, but not for Hillary Clinton.
I was at a Thai restaurant when ‘i hate u, i love u’ hit the million-listen mark. It was weird because nothing else I released before had gotten that high at all.
I thought the first Welsh team I played in was the golden generation, with Neville Southall, Mark Hughes, Ian Rush, Dean Saunders, Gary Speed, and Ryan Giggs.
Playing Mark Antony in ‘Rome’ will always be a favourite of mine because he was such an outrageously big and interesting character to play. Also, the fact that we were able, with that character, to find out and present the public with a biography of that man that had not been really seen before.
Mike Matheny, Fernando Vina, Edgar Renteria, Mark McGwire and Darryl Kile… before he died. Those guys took me under their wing and taught me the way to play the game the right way.

I’m going for that Mark Wahlberg look. Strong and confident.
Mostly in movies an actor has to come to a mark, an X, and deliver his line – but that’s so artificial, that’s not how people really behave.
I grew up reading Shakespeare and Mark Twain.
It’s like everyone wants to categorize you as this and that until you’ve made your own mark.
I sometimes find the surface interesting. To say that the mark of a good portrait is whether you get them or get the soul – I don’t think this is possible all of the time.
Those who imagine polygamy to be handy cover for promiscuity are apparently off the mark. If polygamists share one quality, it is that, polygamy aside, they are extraordinarily strait-laced.
The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
When we find a fossil, we mark it. Today, we’ve got great technology: we have GPS. We mark it with a GPS fix, and we also take a digital photograph of the specimen, so we could essentially put it back on the surface, exactly where we found it.
A lot of people are blowing Shogun’s fight with Mark Coleman out of proportion. He was coming off an injury, and he gassed early on in his first fight back.
I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot, but for me, it’s about pushing to the point where I can be Mark Walhberg, Ryan Murphy, or Shonda Rhimes. I want to be at that table in terms of bringing new voices in.
When I learned a little bit about du Pont and a little bit about Mark Schultz, I was attracted to the notion that these incredibly different people found each other and seemed, for a moment, to be the answer that each was looking for.

The people of Egypt are an intelligent people with a glorious history who left their mark on civilization.

Mark Ruffalo is just an amazing guy and an amazing director.
Mark Wahlberg’s, like, 150 pounds! I’m 250 lean. I look like Mark Wahlberg ate Mark Wahlberg.

The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.
In the olden days, everybody sang. You were expected to sing as well as talk. It was a mark of the cultured man to sing.
My first book deal was for two Mark Genevich novels. I hadn’t planned on writing a second Genevich novel, but I was contracted to do so, and so there I was being introduced as a crime writer.
I don’t feel like songs should be hoarded. I don’t feel like one’s tainted if somebody else does it. That’s the mark of artistry – take a song that’s maybe even a really popular song and do it your own way. I think that’s cool.
I am very happy that Indian women are making their mark in sports be is Sakshi Malik or even PV Sindhu who also won a medal for the country. We talk about women empowerment and there cannot be any bigger example than this.
My expectations have always been to be one of the top players in the world, and that matches well with Paylocity’s mission. They are changing things in their industry just like I want to make a mark on professional golf.
My first film crush was Mark Lester as Oliver Twist in the Carol Reed film.
You can hear the Celtic heartbeat all over Europe and America, from Bing Crosby to Jack White, from the Smiths to My Bloody Valentine, from House of Pain to Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
There are media houses which put headline with a question mark, and that is how they can get away without taking the accountability of the allegation. They put the question mark. Let’s analyze it a little – a common reader will not remember the question mark: they will remember the allegation.
If Home Depot doesn’t have it, Mark Bradford doesn’t need it.
Mark Ronson was a dear friend through family and through growing up in New York, being in that scene, and Mark came to a show and really liked it and asked us to join his record label Allido records, or ‘all I do’ records, and that was sort of a development deal.
It took a while before I could sit across the table with Mark and not, every three seconds, think, ‘I’m talking to Luke Skywalker.’

I guess I’ll go to my grave as the Dodger, but at least I’ve made my mark on show-business history.

Skepticism: the mark and even the pose of the educated mind.
When Priyanka Chopra makes a mark for herself internationally, we claim her achievements as our own and then threaten to ban her films and make her apologize for a work of fiction that has been created by someone else. Can we please attempt to be larger than that?
At the age that I was when I stopped reading comics, and with a set of talents that would seem to mark a future comic-book auteur, my son has had only a passing enthusiasm for the medium.
Sometimes you’ll get a player who’s marking you tightly, and he’ll even apologise and say, ‘My coach told me to stick close to you and mark you. I know you’re a great player.’ But I tell him it’s fine and to do what he has to do.
Self-control is one mark of a mature person; it applies to control of language, physical treatment of others, and the appetites of the body.

The mark of a bad leader is not to make the wrong decision. It is to make no decision at all.
I just want a big HBO special or a network or somebody willing to get behind my work and promote it. The most frustrating thing for me is to have this successful act that resonates across the country, and the network guys just don’t get it. Everyone sees it except them. I want to leave a mark.
There are so many reasons to mark the passing of the great Joe Cocker – as many songs as he wrote, recorded and performed in his remarkable concerts. For me, Cocker was also the only performer who successfully covered and even improved on The Beatles.
It’s challenging to open for someone: You’ve got to prep the audience, get them in the mood, and get their attention if they don’t know you. You’re going to show them what songs you’ve got. You’ve got to leave your mark.
Governor Romney has a record of tremendous accomplishments. But he never asks for accolades. He just asks, ‘How can I help?’ That’s the mark of a true leader: A humble focus on getting the job done.

Mark Twain’s Roughing It is a book that many people don’t know about, but I highly recommend to anybody at any age.

I feel it is time that I also pay tribute to my four writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
It’s very difficult to fill the shoes of somebody like Rahul Bhai. He has set the bench mark for a generation to come. However, it’s our responsibility to carry forward his legacy.
One seldom expects the country’s president to adequately note the passing of a rocker, but Jimmy Carter’s assessment of Elvis Presley’s appeal – ‘energy, rebelliousness and good humor’ – is remarkably close to the mark.
It is the mark of a great man that he puts to flight all ordinary calculations. He is at once sublime and touching, childlike and of the race of giants.
The best mark of a player is to beat him over a long distance.
It’s hard for it to make a mark in this city because London has so much culture to offer.
Mark Carney is one of the enemies of Brexit. He has opposed it consistently.
I think, as far as branching out with acting, it would take something really right on the mark to distract me from music, because music is everything to me.
I had elements that were much more than what Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates had. If I work according to their methods, what will I create? All of this was in my head when I was young.
The contribution of Anthony William Greig to English cricket has been underestimated because of his allegiance to Kerry Packer and his choice to recruit players for World Series Cricket while still the England captain.

Having grown up quite shy and quiet, it’s important that I mark out who I am in the world through my work.
It is scarcely a mark of intellectual profundity to have noticed that our society is big.

I don’t believe you ever get closure on anything. Things leave a permanent mark on you.
I can literally count on one and a half hands how many people in WWE treated me the same pre-Mark and post-Mark. Michelle McCool didn’t change, I’m still me. There were a ton of people that found out I was dating Mark and was like, ‘Oh, I better change my tune and be super nice.’
I had a huge advantage when I started 50 years ago – my job was secure. I didn’t have to promote myself. These days there’s far more pressure to make a mark, so the temptation is to make adventure television or personality shows. I hope the more didactic approach won’t be lost.
I’m as thrilled watching Mark Rylance do Shakespeare as I am watching ‘The Book of Mormon.’

I grew up falling in love with music videos and those images: Hype Williams and Mark Romanek, David Fincher and Diane Martel and Paul Hunter, just from the video side. I grew up also watching a lot of independent films and foreign films.
I would want to bring up my children. Therefore, I have no dream to make my mark. Instead, I enjoy economic freedom my hard work has given me. It means that I can give my children the best start in life.
When I was a young child and before he had left us for the U.S., my father would give me Mark Twain novels. In the characters, the weather and the context, my father must have seen many parallels to his own youth in the Caribbean in the 1930s and 40s.
Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the correct response to death’s perfect punctuation mark is a smile.

I love the chance to train with someone like Mark Twight.
Shaving my head was a millennium ritual, to not let it pass as just another New Year’s Eve. A lot has happened to me in the last couple of years, personally and spiritually. I wanted to mark it for myself.
Mark Conseulos is so amazing.
I mark the reading of ‘Look Homeward, Angel’ as one of the pivotal events of my life. It starts off with the single greatest, knock-your-socks-off first page I have ever come across in my careful reading of world literature.
Confidence was never in short supply in my case. If anything, I think I overshot the mark with confidence way too early in my career, and gradually, it’s about just getting more humble and wanting to sit down more.
My dad never took himself too seriously. He always treated everyone with respect, and he made sure I was like that, too. I show up, I hit my mark, and I say my lines.

Google is omniscient of what people search for and do. Facebook has over a billion subscribers, meaning Mark Zuckerberg has personal information about one in every seven people on Earth. U.S.A., Brazil, Mexico, India and Indonesia are at the top of that list.
The mark of our time is its revulsion against imposed patterns.
Sometimes you want to run away, sometimes you think you do, but you never had a dream like this before and you don’t want to ask for more, sometimes you leave a mark before you know the score.
Every kid coming out of Harvard, every kid coming out of school now thinks he can be the next Mark Zuckerberg, and with these new technologies like cloud computing, he actually has a shot.

It is the mark of great people to treat trifles as trifles and important matters as important.
I think my best spell in terms of personal performance was in 2004 – but the best team was under Mark Hughes with Elano.
Cain slew Abel. On that much the Torah and the Bible and the Qur’an agree, although in the Qur’an these first sons of Adam and Eve are Qabeel and Habeel. Cain, which is to say Qabeel, wandered eastwards from Eden to the Land of Nod with a mark of some kind on him, a curse.
Those who have heard me speak from time to time know that quite often I cite the observation of that great American author, Mark Twain, who said, history does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.
Men mark the passion of Christ, and print it on their heart somewhat to follow it. It was the most voluntary passion that ever was suffered, and the most painful. It was most voluntary, and so most meritorious.
Sometimes it’s better to make a mark than to hit your mark, and I think I realized that early on.
The mark of a really great satire is its ability to seem prophetic, and I think that the television culture that film predicted really came true in the age of reality television and is a testament to how great it really is.
Into The Woods was… a lot of running around in the woods! I can’t wait to see the show again. People didn’t realize it back then, but kids still come up to me-young people-and they talk about it. It really made its mark.
That’s the mark of a great storyteller, never to give away secrets in advance.
Mark Zuckerberg is the product of Facebook just as surely as Facebook is the product of Mark Zuckerberg.

I wonder about guys like Sean Hannity, Keith Olbermann and Mark Levin. They’re on such a mission. I mean, I love Hannity and Levin to death, but on the radio they’re insane. How can you keep that up?
If there’s one thing you can say about my apartment it’s that it’s constantly evolving, constantly changing. I think that is the mark of a good apartment; you can never really be done – It’s like a proper wardrobe.
Marriage, laws, the police, armies and navies are the mark of human incompetence.

‘The September Issue’ is really a film about Anna Wintour’s relationship with long time ‘Vogue’ Creative Director Grace Coddington. The two of them have been working together for two decades, and the extraordinary symbiosis between them has left an indelible mark on the fashion industry.
Mark Hammond is working in this area, with Windows Scripting Host. It is definitely an area where Python fits almost perfectly. That’s quite independent from Java, actually.
I should have won more. Definitely. If I practised like Mark Selby I might have done twice as many.
A lot of my main-event matches will last around the half-hour mark, and if you can have a variety of emotions within that half hour, that’s a great story from start to finish.
When I was 20, I had these furrowed lines between my brows because I was always angry. And I was 20. I don’t think that was a mark of age; it was just my personality.
The mark of a true crush… is that you fall in love first and grope for reasons afterward.
I’m in deep in everything, every moment of the day. I create the systems and oversee every aspect of the execution. Every mark on a sculpture and every brush-stroke on a painting is in a controlled situation, exactly as they’d be if I’d have done them myself.
Words easy to be understood do often hit the mark; when high and learned ones do only pierce the air.
The way James Franco goes to new projects, he does it the way an artist should, which is with a question mark. Like, will this work?
Understand me, Hollywood miniseries are very popular in England. But British miniseries make a tremendous mark on the national consciousness. They become part of the national culture and mythology… at least for a time.

After having a baby, there will inevitably be something on your body – a mark, a scar or some loose skin – that wasn’t there before.
We have a psychologist at Chelsea who goes around seeing the loan players. He said every top, top player has a dark side. So someone like Diego Costa sometimes oversteps the mark. But you can see he plays on the edge. He said I had to develop that. It’s not natural for me to be like that.
The technology actually seemed to come at just the right time to make the Hulk – Mark Ruffalo was really able to play both characters.

It’s incumbent upon a director, if you want to pull the best performance out of an actor, you have to really work to who they are and how they work and not just expect them to hit a mark every time. You have to be very adaptable in the approach that you use with every different actor.
The best memorizers in the world – who almost all hail from Europe – can memorize a pack of cards in less than a minute. A few have begun to approach the 30-second mark, considered the ‘four-minute mile of memory.’
‘The Mark’ I played a psychiatrist. And in the ’50’s everybody went to a psychiatrist because if you didn’t, you’d have nothing to talk about at cocktail parties.

I want to leave a mark in this sport.
The world calls for, and expects from us, simplicity of life, the spirit of prayer, charity towards all, especially towards the lowly and the poor, obedience and humility, detachment, and self-sacrifice. Without this mark of holiness, our word will have difficulty in touching the heart of modern man.
I think Mark Hughes is the type of manager people want to play for.
That’s all TV acting is. Like, let me find my mark and seem like I’m still acting. Sometimes they’ll put sandbags there, but then it’s even funnier because you’re walking and you’re, like, stepping into sandbags, so now you look like you’re having a seizure.
If you’re not the brightest or if you’re not great at sports, or if you’re not artistic, then you’ve got to find a way to make your mark; otherwise you’re just this tiny little insignificant dot. I didn’t want to be insignificant, so I made people laugh.
No one put pressure on me to go to the Olympics; once I’d got the qualifying mark, I just couldn’t say no.
I wanted to get out in the world, have a great job, make my mark, and see how far I could go. And I wanted to make good on the philosophy my mother drilled into us with all the subtlety of a Lady Gaga performance. I got it loud and clear. I would need to succeed, and then I could possibly be happy.
I’ll miss working with Mark, and all of the other Sharks. Each of them has been incredibly generous and warm to me, and I am proud of all the episodes we made together.

The only thing that’s going to be more epic than Roy Nelson fighting Mark Hunt is Roy Nelson fighting for the belt. Those are two fights that I know fans want to see.
I had a gentleman steal or ‘misplace’ – I guess I should say ‘allegedly’ – a lot of money from me. It didn’t make any sense when it was happening, because I just didn’t understand why I didn’t have any money. I was a perfect mark because I had all of this shame and insecurity about money.
Some of the most productive people in history have been self-confessed ‘muck-middens,’ as my husband would say: Agatha Christie, Benjamin Franklin and even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, to name a few.

Some of the best logos are the simplest. One of the oldest is the mark used by the Bass brewery: a red triangle. Target has made a red circle with a red dot in the middle seem the very essence of affordable, hip practicality.
As a kid, I watched ‘Bugs Bunny’ cartoons, and for some reason Pepe Le Pew, the indomitable French skunk pursuing his would-be kitty paramour, left his mark on me: became an instant emblem of odoriferous hubris, hedonistic bad behavior. He was an entry-level Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a rookie Marquis de Sade.
The first time Rachie and I will be working together is on an episode of ‘Doctor Who’ specially written for us by Mark Gatiss. How lucky is that?
I love showing my scar on my tummy – it is shaped like a question mark.
Saudi had been a very restricted place. Even on the magazines there, if there was a little leg or cleavage showing, they used to blacken it with a black mark. Me and Ishmeet, so many times, had tried to remove the black portion with our spit, but of course, it would never come out.
Mark Twain was very unhappy with himself for various reasons. He was very unhappy with America of this time. He thought it was terrible we had no anti-lynching laws, and he was also a feminist, and he was also very concerned with anti-Semitism. He was a good man, but he was hard on himself.
Mark Zuckerberg talks about telepathy, and Elon Musk has invested in trying to create a brain-machine interface.
