If I make a film about now, the minute it was done, it wouldn’t be about now; it’d be about then.
When you stop to take a minute and look at Queen Latifah’s career, she came out of the box right. You know, ‘Ladies First!’ And she’s been consistent with that message of female self-empowerment. She really has!
Estrogen’s a wonderful thing. I’d be doing the dishes and suddenly be like, ‘Wait a minute – why am I crying?’
Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute! Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Only engage, and then the mind grows heated. Begin, and then the work will be completed.
My position is the lack of a position, but, of course, you can’t even talk about it; the minute you talk, you spoil the whole game.
Radio is being dominated by records that are 120 beats per minute. R&B is about groove and soul.
You’re not supposed to look perfect while you’re making babies. Making babies is the perfection. It’s about feeling good in clothes and knowing you can get dressed up in the evening, work it for a minute, and maybe get back in a certain pair of jeans. But there’s just no such thing as perfection.
The minute a person whose word means a great deal to others dare to take the open-hearted and courageous way, many others follow.
The minute you feel secure about yourself and own the fact your dreams are honest true, other things fix themselves.
I can’t say what I’m going to wear all the time. The minute that I say that, then there’s something in me that tips off and then I need to break out of that.
One really beautiful wrist motion, that is synchronised with your head and heart, and you have it. It looks as if it were born in a minute.
I don’t think you can expect someone to be personally attacked day after day, minute by minute, and sit back.
They’ll say, ‘Oh, he’s sexy,’ but women still go for guys who are 6ft 2 ins. I don’t believe any of it for a minute.
If you just casually look at a baby, it doesn’t look like there’s very much going on there, but they know more and learn more than we would ever have thought. Every single minute is incredibly full of thought and novelty. It’s easy as adults to take for granted everything it took to arrive at the state where we are.
Lena Dunham texts me every morning the minute she wakes up to make sure I’m alive.
It’s okay if you finish cooking something easy after your guests arrive – some dishes must be prepared a la minute, as chefs say. Just remember to keep talking.
I remember when I first started, the first movie I wrote that didn’t get made I was aghast. ‘Wait a minute, that’s not how this is supposed to work. You write a move and it gets made!’
The minute I started being recognised, I became much more discreet.
Fans are always talking about endgame as though endgame has been chosen from minute 1. I don’t know that you could talk to a single series creator that would say confidently ‘Where I started is where I finished, and there was no way in hell I was going to stray from that path.’ ‘Dawson’s’ being the perfect example.
The minute I stepped foot on the shop floor and started serving in a retail environment, I knew it was the career for me. I was a shop assistant for just one day, and I thought, ‘This is it. This is the rest of my life. This is all I want to do.’
There’s still the part of me that wants to leap at every opportunity, but now there’s the other side that says, ‘Let’s just wait a minute and see what happens.’ That’s intuition, and it comes with age and experience.
Here’s the thing: I fell impossibly in love with the Internet from the minute I saw it in action in the early 1990s. From that moment on, I have studied it, analyzed it, reported on it, and, mostly, have not been without it as a part of my daily life since.
I’ve never believed that ‘Idol’ as a franchise is beholden to any individual because everybody said it would die the minute Simon Cowell left, and it hasn’t.
A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.
You see thousands of films you forget the minute you come out of the cinema, don’t you? Because they don’t mean anything. It’s the tough ones like ‘Breaking the Waves’ and ‘Nil By Mouth’ that stay with you, that you never forget. I’d like to leave a few of those behind if possible.
I enjoyed every minute of what I was doing with sessions, because The Blossoms, the group that I was singing with, they were the first black background singers. There weren’t any.
The minute you start to strategize too much, the more you start to think you’re in control of your own fate. And you’re not, really.
The minute I was told what to do at any age, I did the opposite. Hopefully I’ll do that for the rest of my life.
I’ve known Ben Stiller for a minute. One of my first movies was ‘Along Came Polly.’
The minute you start feeling like you’ve got it down, you know what you’re doing, you’re dead in the water.
Man, as long as he lives, is immortal. One minute before his death he shall be immortal. But one minute later, God wins.
I’ve played American characters so many times now, it’s so natural to me. But when I play American, I stay in the American accent from the minute I get the job till the minute I wrap.
I’ve never really been America’s sweetheart, but for a minute I think that’s what they wanted me to be.
The virtual world can never be a substitute for real world experience. And the more it takes over our lives, the more we forget to feel the sun on our skin, the more we forget that there is an entire universe to be discovered even during a 10 minute walk to work.
I write thank-you notes the minute I throw the wrapping paper away.
It was better for me when I was joined at the court by a second woman. When I was there alone, there was too much media focus on the one woman, and the minute we got another woman, that changed.
Santiago Bernabeu is the best stadium I have ever played in. I enjoy every minute on its pitch.
I have my mother’s hips. The minute I eat it, it ends up on my hips.
If your watch is slow by just four minutes, that’s not much – unless you’ve been warned that if you’re even one minute late ever again you will be fired. Then four minutes make a big difference.
Well, there’s no one at all, they do be saying, but is deserving of some punishment from the very minute of his birth.
I feel like I’ve forcefully been thrust into the tech world, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.
It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row. And there are many young performers who only learn their craft in the two minute bits it takes to film a scene. You never learn the arc of storytelling, the arc of a character that way.
The half minute which we daily devote to the winding-up of our watches is an exertion of labour almost insensible; yet, by the aid of a few wheels, its effect is spread over the whole twenty-four hours.
Asics has a machine that measures every single angle of my feet. With this information they made customized shoes for me and I have felt great the minute I put them on.
Romania, which had the worst dictator in Eastern Europe, Ceausescu, he was a darling of the West. The United States and Britain loved him. He was supported until the last minute.
I find I like the spotlight for a very brief period of time… and I sort of need it. But then, the minute that it’s done, I have to sort of go hide. So I was never really meant, I think, to be a performer for a living.
I tell everyone that works for me not to look down on people. If you’re nice to people and take a minute to talk with them, it’s good for business whether or not they buy anything. Just because they don’t look like they have money doesn’t mean they’re poor.
I would have given up acting in a minute. I didn’t like how it set me apart from other people.
If I said I would knock out Sonny Liston in 1 minute and 49 seconds of the first round, that would hurt the gate.
I think you start to prepare the minute you read something.
There are many times when a woman will ask another girl friend how she likes her new hat. She will reply, ‘Fine,’ but slap her hand to her forehead the minute the girl leaves to yipe, ‘What a horror!’
As a young girl, I was too intent on getting to London and drama school and out of east Yorkshire to think about winning Oscars. I did win a Bafta once, and was so unprepared for it I jabbered on for a minute – a minute too long.
I found it really hard for a couple of years to do any writing because all I wanted to do was play the fiddle. From the minute I took it up, I just couldn’t put it down.
Most umpires are good about letting the argument go, but you can only go on for so long, or go so far. If you don’t leave it alone after a minute or two, you’re in trouble. They want to keep the game moving, so they’ve got to throw you out. I had trouble leaving it alone, I guess.
Things are always very last minute with fashion, and you always have to be ready and have to be prepared at all times.
Music is not just a part of my everday life, I’m surrounded by it every minute.
If you just did a horror tone throughout an entire movie you almost, as an audience, can get a little bit used to it. But if you’re laughing one minute and, you know, somebody’s doing something quite horrific the next minute, it’s a little more shocking.
