People say satire is dead. It’s not dead; it’s alive and living in the White House.
I think you hear a lot of people say ‘I support the troops’ and all of that, but I really feel deeply that I do.
I grew up in Lambeth, I went to normal schools and I’ve grown up in a city where people say what they think.
A lot of people say they want to get out of pain, and I’m sure that’s true, but they aren’t willing to make healing a high priority. They aren’t willing to look inside to see the source of their pain in order to deal with it.
I keep getting amazing things to bring to life. There’s always something to discover with ‘Dr. Bailey,’ something that brings her home to the audience, something that makes people say, ‘I know that woman. I work with that woman.’ It’s incredibly flattering and I’m still finding new things with her all the time.
When people say all politicians are the same, ask yourself if Obama was the same as Bush, if Francois Hollande is the same as Sarkozy. They are not. They are human beings with different views and different visions for the world.
A lot of people say, ‘Wow, you’re a single father of twin boys, that’s crazy!’ Two toddlers can get hectic, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. Every day they teach me different things. The love is there. When you have a two-year-old saying every other hour, ‘Papi, te amo. Papi, I love you,’ it can’t get better.
Things people say strike me as amusing, and I am prone to saying out loud what everybody’s thinking.
People say dreams aren’t a thing that happen, and I’m a believer that they do.
People say I look like a vampire. I don’t know whether to take that as a compliment or not.
People say, ‘You look to be in great shape for your age,’ and I guess I am.
I’m not a big believer in trying to jam stuff down somebody’s throat: ‘You’re going to do it my way.’ I’d rather show by example and live my life and have people say, ‘You know what, I want to live like Joel has. He’s got peace and joy, and he seems content.’
People say I am ruthless. I am not ruthless. And if I find the man who is calling me ruthless, I shall destroy him.
I am not moved by what people say or do concerning my relationship with God. I submit myself to His direct will, which is good and perfect with no evil in it.
I understand what it’s like to come with your family, and to uproot yourself and come to another culture. You need a lot of support. People say, ‘She’s got her daughter; she’s got her husband.’ Yeah, but she hasn’t got anyone else.
People say you can’t go out and eat with your players. I say why not.
I’m happy. I don’t care what other people say or think. I’m happy. I’m blessed. I’m proud of my life, and that’s it. That’s all that matters.
People say I contradict myself because I come gangsta and teach at the same time. I don’t want to be too much on either side, but I do want to speak to all audiences.
Most people, when they think of an insult, they keep it to themselves. But you wouldn’t believe the things people say on my Twitter feed, and I’m a nice guy. Imagine if I was a jerk.
People say I make strange choices, but they’re not strange for me. My sickness is that I’m fascinated by human behavior, by what’s underneath the surface, by the worlds inside people.
My philosophy is: It’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me.
I’ve never bothered about what people say about me.
I’d love to do a Michel Gondry film. That would be ideal! I’d love to do an Almodovar film; you know, I think he’s very, very talented. I don’t care that people say he’s pretentious. So what? He’s a good director; he can be pretentious.
The only albatross is the hurt you divine from what people say about your art.
People recognize me. Most people are really nice. Sometimes people say, ‘Hi, Chelsea.’
As you get older, and this is a young man’s game, and people say, ‘Well, there’s no way I can keep up running the way I’m running; there’s no way my arm is going to stay as strong as it is.’ It’s the challenge of trying to stay in my tip-top shape year in and year out so I can keep playing the way I want to play.
Obviously you can’t please everyone. I’m sure some people say, ‘Bloody old Len Goodman gets on my nerves.’
I loved ‘Funny Lady’ for whatever reason. People say they didn’t know I could sing and dance. Well, nobody ever asks me – it’s always, ‘Punch this guy.’
I hate the analyzing thing. People say, ‘Why do you think your character did that? I don’t know. I’m not an analyst, and they’re not in psychotherapy. Unless it’s a film where they’re in therapy.
Some people say my work is often depressing and pessimistic, with the emphasis on death, blood, overcrowding, strange beings and so on, but I don’t really think it is.
If you’re going to worry about what people say, you’re never going to make any progress.
The tax issue is the most powerful issue in American politics going back to the Tea Party. People say, ‘Oh, Grover Norquist has power.’ No. Grover Norquist and Americans for Tax Reform focus on the tax issue. The tax issue is a powerful issue.
I can’t establish the veracity of what people say because only they know whether they are telling the truth. I can’t look into your mind, can I?
When people say Jerry Lee Lewis invented rock n’ roll, they forget Little Richard. People talk about Elvis Presley and forget he was singing black music. I don’t blame Elvis. It was the music business figuring it could make more money from this music if it weren’t presented from the original source.
A lot of people say that comedy doesn’t travel well. I found it very accessible.
When I was young, I used to hear people say, ‘He’s a golden boy. Look at that guy. Can you imagine what he’s going to be like when he grows up?’ Well, I unfortunately bought into that. And I hadn’t even found myself. Quite honestly, I was running from myself. But I knew how to work Top 40 radio.
I’ve always been committed to tuning out the trends of drag and doing styles and fashions and performances that are really true to what I love, to the movie references I’ve always loved, fashion that speaks to me for whatever reason – no matter what people say.
Johnny Depp is like a brother to me. We have matching tattoos on our backs – Charles Baudelaire, the flowers of evil, this giant skeleton thing. It’s kind of a secret. People say to us, ‘Why did you get that?’ And we say, ‘No reason.’
People say Altamont was the ‘end of the ’60s.’ It was unfortunate, but at the time we didn’t think of it as signaling anything. The fact that nobody got killed at Woodstock is amazing because that was half a million people. We only had 300,000 at Altamont.
People say that about me, that I apparently buy houses near every boy I like – that’s a thing that I apparently do. If I like you I will apparently buy up the real-estate market just to freak you out so you leave me.
You know what I’m realizing? I always love a place if I like the movie I’m doing there. I’ve heard people say, ‘I hate Pittsburgh,’ and I’m like, ‘I love Pittsburgh so much!’ I loved what I was doing there, and I loved Austin for the same reason.
The more people say nice things about me, the more I feel it’s false.
I am not thinking that because people say I am great that I really am great. I am just doing a job, just like everybody else. The only difference is that a lot more people see what I do.
A lot of people say about ‘Gossip Girl,’ ‘Well, how do you feel about gossip?’ Well, who really likes gossip? No one likes to be talked about if it’s not flattering or a compliment.
Screenwriting is always about what people say or do, whereas good writing is about a thought process or an abstract image or an internal monologue, none of which works on screen.
In normal life people say, ‘You’re so different than on stage!’ Offstage I’m down to earth, simple and a very goofy girl… I like to make goofy faces, be dorky and not take things too seriously. I just love to laugh.
I don’t really talk about my personal life. It’s a strange and funny and weird thing. Sometimes you have a conversation with someone and the paparazzi snaps a picture of you and people decide you’re dating. If I try to answer everything people say, I would be up all night.
I like to pour my wines for people. I watch their eyes, I can see what they’ll like. Most people say they don’t like dry wine because they haven’t had a dry wine that’s clean and fruity, instead of a big, oaky thing.
People say, You paid your dues, but I never paid any dues. It’s always been a great trip.
It is always encouraging and kind when people say nice things about my work but I know that it is not me that did it then and it is not me that is doing it now. It is God living in me and for that I will always be grateful.
There was a little bit of ham in me. And there’s a lot of people say there’s a lot of ham in me.
People say, ‘Don’t live in the past.’ But I guess it depends on how interesting your past is.
Some people say, ‘Oh, you look just like the guy from ‘Stranger Things.’ And I’m like, ‘I am the guy.’ And they think I’m totally joking.
When people say to me, ‘You make us proud,’ it’s heartwarming to hear that.
People say that if you find water rising up to your ankle, that’s the time to do something about it, not when it’s around your neck.
People say I’ve ‘retained’ my Cockney accent. I can do any accent, but I wanted other working-class boys to know that they could become actors.
