I don’t listen to what people say about me and I don’t read what they write about me. People can compare me to anyone they want to, but I’m not going to worry about it.
I like everything that people say. No matter what they say. You gay, you a punk. You got a nice girlfriend, you’re ugly, you can’t rap, you’re the hardest.
People say I look so happy – and I say, ‘That’s the Botox.’
People say I’m extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?
I’ve always swung the same way. The difference is when I swing and miss, people say, ‘He’s swinging for the fences.’ But when I swing and make contact people say, ‘That’s a nice swing.’ But there’s no difference, it’s the same swing.
When people say that you kind of just get – you know, just feel like a little buzzed or dazed or had your bell rung – they consider that a concussion. I wouldn’t. But if that is considered a concussion, I would say any football player at least records 50 to 100 in the course of a year.
If people say, ‘You can’t do that,’ you can be sure I will do my utmost to do it.
People say, ‘Weren’t you deprived of your childhood?’ No way. I would not take anything back at all. Everything about it was great. I got to go places, meet people, play baseball against older kids and better competition. I had a great time.
I know some people say I can be funny. But there is always a deeper meaning to what I say. I am a socialist at heart and have the interests of the poor in mind. When people see how I manage to work my way out of tough situations, it gives them hope in their own life.
I’m in this for the long haul, I want to be doing this until I die. I am a standup comedian. I know a lot of people say I’m not, but I am.
Some people say my humor focuses too much on stereotypes. It doesn’t. It focuses on facts.
I’ve heard people say in the U.N. community among mediators they don’t like women as mediators because they’re too quick to compromise.
I feel great when people say good things about me. But what’s important is that I have to show it on the pitch.
People say to me, ‘Would you like to swap your life with me for 24 hours? Your life must be very strange.’
Yes, some people say to me you’re too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that.
My music puts people in a dreamy mood. It’s edgy. It’s nuanced. I get annoyed when people say it’s R&B because it’s not that simple. I call it futuristic soul.
The whole gun debate needs to be infused with a discussion about manhood. It’s frustrating to hear debates about gun rights vs. gun control, and yet very few people say what’s hidden in plain sight: It’s really a contest of meanings about manhood.
Some people say, ‘Write what you know.’ My thing is, ‘Write what scares you.’
You always hear people say that having kids changes everything, but you can’t fully realize it until you have children yourself.
Some people say it might be good for your career to die and then come back again. I have died many ways, car crashes, motorcycle crashes, etc. But, I am still alive.
You know, I used to say, when people say, ‘How do you think about what to write about in the poems every week?’ And I say, ‘Well, I have to turn it in on Monday, so on Sunday nights I turn the shower to iambic pentameter and it sort of works out that way.’
When you’re a mom to three children, nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I’ve got other things to deal with.
A voice in my head tells me that I’m at the twilight of an extraordinary life. I say extraordinary because of the people who have loved me. I say twilight because of what people say to me in the supermarket.
I’m blind in my left eye. Contrary to what people say, it is not a glass eye, so I have to protect my eyes at all cost.
When people say that college isn’t worthwhile and paying all this money isn’t worthwhile, I really disagree. I think those experiences and those classes that may not necessarily seem applicable in the moment end up coming back to you time and time again.
Do people talk about Kenny Florian coming from a wealthy family and all this? I don’t think they do. People say these things about me when they don’t even know me.
Some people say that I should study to become a climate scientist so that I can ‘solve the climate crisis.’ But the climate crisis has already been solved. We already have all the facts and solutions. All we have to do is to wake up and change.
It’s no better feeling than coming into a game being the underdog, and everybody going around telling you you can’t win, and people say we going to lose by this much and that much.
I will not give up to sing until the people say it’s enough. I hope it will be very late.
I don’t think I’m too thin at all. I understand when people say, ‘Well your face gets gaunt,’ but to get your bottom half to be the right size, your face might have to be a little gaunt. You choose your battles.
My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe; I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent, I have reached the top of the acting profession.
Lots of people say to me, ‘I completely hate Busted’. That’s completely cool with me. I understand why.
I’m honored when young people say they’ve gone to school on slide guitar with my records. But people get their influence from my live shows and records and YouTube, not me personally. I walk around with a hat on. People don’t know it’s me.
I think it’s unfortunate when people say that there is just one true story of science. For one thing, there are many different sciences, and historians will tell different stories corresponding to different things.
Whenever people say ‘women’s soccer,’ I want to correct them to say ‘soccer.’ Every girl has had their sport diminished because they’re girls.
Watch me when people say deaf and dumb, or deaf mute, and I give them a look like you might get if you called Denzel Washington the wrong name.
Don’t listen to what other people say about you negatively!
I don’t blame homosexuals for being angry when people say they’ve made a choice to be gay, because they don’t.
Some people say video games rot your brain, but I think they work different muscles that maybe you don’t normally use.
This is a country of strong beliefs. Just because some two people say something, people don’t bow down.
Just because my dad has been an actor, I will never say no to an opportunity to act. My dad has never been in a Dharma film, he never went on ‘Koffee With Karan.’ So it’s not as easy as people say.
The funny thing is, I’m so used to not caring what anyone says, good or bad, that unfortunately even when people say good things… I wish it made me feel good, but it doesn’t.
Whenever I’m in the U.K., people say I have an American accent. Which is, obviously, funny.
Women are very different to men, and that hasn’t been respected. So when people say there’s never been a good woman painter or poet or engineer or whatever, they don’t understand that our skills are many simultaneously and men’s skills are single.
You know some people say that you make watches or perfume bottles, it’s all different things.
People say that to me and I think what unites all my characters is that they are hurt; it’s most accurate to say I play characters that are hurt but are responding to their environment.
When I hear people say that they don’t think that I can do something or they don’t think I belong somewhere, that’s all it takes for me to prove them wrong, and it’s motivation.
I’ve heard people say, ‘There are no bad audiences,’ but that’s just not true. There are people who just shouldn’t be together in a room, who produce a really bad audience.
People say I am mad. I am not mad. I am trying to heal my soul.
People say you have to know when to retire, which is a dumb thing to say. If you want to go out on top, yeah, it becomes important when you quit. But I wasn’t afraid of that. And I wasn’t worried about getting fired. I knew the risk. To me, it’s not an ego thing. I enjoy coaching. I enjoy helping people achieve something.
I know that I’m not a criminal. People say that, but my music speaks for itself. And I believe in my music.
Consensus is what many people say in chorus but do not believe as individuals.
Some people say I’ve got a five-octave range, which is ridiculous. That would mean I’d sing like Mariah Carey or that alien in ‘The Fifth Element.’ And I’m nothing like that blue alien. I’ve got a range of about 3 1/2 octaves.
People say they love the characters I’ve chosen in my career. But I didn’t choose anything. I just happened to be working and these were offered to me.
You hear people say, ‘We take our Tennessee Williams very seriously. There is no laughter here.’ It’s full of humor! Not to laugh is a big, bad mistake!
Many people say I believe aliens built the pyramids. I don’t. In fact I’m not a supporter of the ‘ancient alien’ hypothesis at all. I think a lost human civilization is a much better explanation of the mysteries and paradoxes of ancient cultures.
Some people say that watching pay freezes in the government is like watching water freeze. It expands.
People say, ‘Jay, you’re a great guy, you just had a couple of bad nights.’ People that have themselves under control don’t have a couple of bad nights like that. Plain and simple.
