A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.
I grew up in this tiny town in Rhode Island, and we didn’t have cable. We had three TV stations, and one of them would play old movies. That’s what I would watch, and I always wanted to be, like, Myrna Loy in ‘The Thin Man.’
The economy is rough. I think that affects everyone from big filmmakers to tiny filmmakers.
I like to know a tiny bit about almost everything. I do like a pub quiz.
When you put a tiny and despised minority up for a popular vote, the minority usually loses.
I think films are a really small target. They’re really hard to make, and they’re a really tiny target.
I’m dying to do a tiny indie and play something totally naturalistic without any sort of constraints on me. Something where I can shock everyone.
‘Lost’ is about a bunch of people stranded on an island. It’s compelling, but kind of tiny. But what sustains you are the characters.
I’ve been tiny since I was four, and I eat whatever I want.
If you can make finance more functional, make it a tiny percent better, you create a great deal of resources, which you can use for other things like education and healthcare.
In real life, I feel tiny and quite embarrassed all the time. But when people come up to me in France and want to talk to Christine, it’s okay. It’s cool. Because they’re really talking about themselves, their own Christines.
On my keychain, I have a citrine crystal in a tiny cage. It’s for protection and good vibes.
Shooting action is very, very meticulous, it’s increments, tiny little pieces.
I’m somebody from a little tiny town, who had boxed in leisure centres, and my last fight was in Madison Square Garden against one of the greats. What a great way to finish off.

I think that if you keep banging at the door all you need is a little foothold, a little tiny foothold, and then the rest will take care of itself.
The simplest way to remove carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, is to grow plants – preferably trees, since they tie up more of the gas in cellulose, meaning it will not return to the air within a season or two. Plants build themselves out of air and water, taking only a tiny fraction of their mass from the soil.
Most of the men that sue in Hollywood are all about 5′ 2′. They wake up every day, know they’re tiny and feel very angry about it, so they go out and sue people.
I went to my friend’s house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I’m in love.
More than five decades of hands grated by cracks. Whole body aching from long days of big-wall hauling. Tiny tents, bivy sacs, snow caves lashed by hurricane sleet. Frozen fingers and toes. Migraines and altitude malaise. Not knowing what’s to come. It doesn’t have to be fun to be fun.
Many of us on the project were thinking if we ever saw a gravitational wave, it’d be an itsy bitsy little tiny thing; we’d never see it. This thing was so big that you didn’t have to do much to see it.
I think it’s necessary to identify with anything – with any character you play, there’s got to be something in common, so you can link up to that person, even if it’s like one tiny thing. But it’s equally fun to play somebody completely different, and trying to find what that thing is to make it.
One must remember that the Jews have one, tiny country, the only place they have the right and capability to defend themselves by themselves. And it is our duty and my responsibility to see that we will never compromise about that.
I worked in IT for about three years for a tiny firm with ten other people.
The House Rules Committee is perhaps the free world’s outstanding bureaucratic abomination – a tiny, airless closet deep in the labyrinth of the Capitol where some of the very meanest people on earth spend their days cleaning democracy like a fish.
At a tiny station in New Albany, Indiana, which is right across from the river from Louisville, Kentucky, where I grew up. The Louisville stations were loath to hire beginners, so I had to go across the river.
Well, I was born in Miami, and then I lived for a long time in Tallahassee, and before that, Winter Haven, which is a tiny town in Florida. I was not a city girl.
There’s something about most phobias where there’s a tiny, tiny corner where you think this really actually could happen.
What I would love to do is more telly comedy. I did a tiny bit in ‘Toast of London’ and was in one episode of Catherine Tate’s ‘Nan.’ I was crying with laughter.
I’d forgotten how tiny new babies are.
I would say that Roger Federer is pretty amazing. And Manny Pacquiao – he’s such a tiny, little lightweight guy, but the way he fights makes people so excited.
Endnotes, often confused with footnotes that live at the bottom of a page, is that lump of text at the end of the book, sometimes even relegated to a tiny font size. They’re often forgotten but, in nonfiction, particularly history books, can offer a fascinating footprint into the author’s research, a joyful, geeky abyss.
For the tiny percentage of people who are negatively affected by our embracing of standards, they can just get their sports somewhere else in the meantime. It’s not like we’re denying them hospital care.
I think there’s a possibility that comic book movies are getting a tiny bit better on the one hand because they’re no longer made by executives, who are, you know, ninety-year-old bald tailors with cigars, going, ‘The kids love this!’
I grew up in a tiny village on top of a mountain and have been skiing and singing all my life!
Fundamentalist Christians, adhering to what is termed ‘creation science,’ loudly promote the scientific accuracy of the Bible, but they sift or reinterpret science through the tiny mesh of their ideological filter. Not much real science gets through.
Advertising is the art of the tiny. You have to tell a complete a story and deliver a complete message in a very encapsulated form. It disciplines you to cut away extraneous information.
What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.
I just saw ‘Tiny Furniture’ and became so obsessed with it that Judd Apatow jokes that I’m the distributor of it. I was making copies and giving them out.
Being tiny has been difficult for me in a business that regarded physicality as the most important part of your life.
When I tell my husband stories of how I’ve grown up, he can’t relate to it. I like it though, yeah, it’s a badge of honour. You’re from Up North, you’ve got to be a tiny bit rough round the edges. That’s the charm!
The existence of billionaires should sound an alarm: they are the most extreme manifestation of wealth generated by the efforts of millions of people being funnelled into the pockets of a tiny few.
On ‘Platoon’ I was offered in 1984 a very tiny part that Ivan Kane would go on to play. Then the financing fell out, and the film was scuttled for two years.
I love Felicity Jones. It was funny because I went to go see the ‘Rogue One’ set, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I love you.’ And she’s so tiny, and elegant, and she’s just so small. Everyone’s so much smaller than they seem.
I mean, my father was killed when I was six. And I only have tiny, tiny flashes of memory.
Being tall has a major impact in general. It takes some courage to be as big as you are – to live up to it and not be intimidated by the graceful tiny people.
You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile.
In the wake of 9/11, my wife Trish and I were stranded on the East Coast. We had planned a vacation to Greece, but flights had been halted. Instead, we ended up on a tiny island off the coast of Georgia.
At the very beginning, I was a page at Letterman, and I freelanced for any place that would let me write any word. I wanted to do this so badly. Then when I got a tiny bit of success, I was petrified that I was going to lose it.
Nature is impersonal, awe-inspiring, elegant, eternal. It’s geometrically perfect. It’s tiny and gigantic. You can travel far to be in a beautiful natural setting, or you can observe it in your backyard – or, in my case, in the trees lining New York City sidewalks, or in the clouds above skyscrapers.
My dad was born in Chicago in 1908… his parents came from Russia. They settled in Chicago, where they lived in a little tiny grocery store with eight or nine children – in the backroom all together – and my grandmother got the idea to go into the movie business.
In 1969, when I graduated from Harvard Law School, women and minorities made up a tiny fraction of the first year associates accepted by top law firms.
I wanted to do plays. But then I got out of school and started getting jobs in movies and TV. And I seemed more suited to that. I like the intimacy of working for the camera, the size of performance it requires. I love getting into tiny moments.
