I’m a real freedom fighter. I’m not a pretend freedom fighter. I stand up for other actresses, other people.
No movie can change society, but there are things that can be achieved by a film. For example, we are sitting in a room that has a lizard in it but we don’t mention it because it is not bothering us. But if I stand up and say there is a lizard in the room, then we will try to deal with it – in whatever way.
I stand up all four quarters even when I’m not playing.

Here is what the practical impact of Citizens United means. What Citizens United means is that corporations call hundreds of millions of dollars into television ads, radio ads, and other forms of advertising to defeat those candidates who stand up and take them on.
Mum would have a panic attack if she had to stand up and give a speech around a table.

I like to think I’m quite brave. I stand up for myself.
I feel blessed to be able to do my stand up comedy all over the world, because some people never even leave New York.
I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.
Republicans in Hollywood hide. I’m challenging them to stand up and have courage. I won’t be scared into submission.

As a human being, I do feel like it’s my right to be able to stand up for and speak on whatever I want.
To perform live, to get that thrill of the audience reaction is great. There is no equivalent of watching someone stand up and clap on the Internet.
I think any time people are recognised for standing up for what they believe in and the way that they do it is a step forward, because if we don’t stand up for what we believe in and we let people get away with not educating them for things that they have said they’re going to think that behaviour is acceptable.
We have to do what we think is right, even though we may have to stand up to some loud voices in our own parties in order to get something done.

Seven hundred thousand people who have dementia in this country are not heard. I’m fortunate; I can be heard. Regrettably, it’s amazing how people listen if you stand up in public and give away $1 million for research into the disease, as I have done.
There were not that many people who were willing to come out and stand up for Muslims or stand up against the abuses of the Bush administration. That was post-9/11, so I think there was a lot of fear at the time about exactly what that meant – were they unpatriotic if they stood up?
I made an urban-looking bicycle that could stand up to potholes. Of course, it was stolen instantly – proof of the genius of its design.

If a kid is being bullied at school, my advice to them is to punch the bully in the face. The government can create as many boards, commissions, and informational sessions on sensitivity that it wants. The fact is, we still have bullies, and we still have victims who are trained not to stand up for themselves.
I want Ron to stand up to Malfoy and punish him.
The book is called ‘Thanks for Nothing’ and it’s really the story of how I got into comedy and traces back every strand in my life that is relevant to that story. It’s kind of an autobiography but isn’t, as it stops about 25 years ago. It goes right up to the first time I do stand up.
No one can stand up to the extraordinary power of my fists.
In the mother of parliaments, it is not too much to ask that our politicians stand up for all our best interests.

I haven’t had a terrible relationship, but I’ve always been the type in a relationship to give too much and not speak out about problems I had or problems that were bothering me. I just wouldn’t stand up for myself in any way if I was upset about something.
I could probably stand up and have a press conference and thank 100 guys within that Denver organization, along with all those teammates I played with.
If the hairs on my neck stand up while I’m writing, I figure the reader will get the same kind of shock.
President Trump is the first western leader in 50 years to stand up to China.

It’s almost like Time’s Up allowed some really good old-school players to stand up and say, ‘We’re actually just really normal companies that want to facilitate culture-making. Some of us are even in it for the slow returns.’
I served on the committee in the U.S. House that wrote the Affordable Care Act. I defended it back home in endless town halls.

As a female athlete, I think it’s really important to stand up on a podium and represent females and what we’re capable of, and I always try to make political statements with what I do rather than with headlines.

No, I never really set out to be a stand up. I wanted to be a writer of some sort. I thought I’d do a bit of stand up and hopefully that will lead to stuff and little did I know it kind of snowballed. Before I knew it I was doing stand up 300 nights a year.
When I was competing, I would run daily 20 kilometers, and in addition to that, I’d put in many hours of fighting and sparring. That’s why I was always able to keep the speed in the ring. I would train so hard that sometimes it was not only hard to stand up, but it would also be hard to lay down.
As a public official, when I take a position, I stand up to explain and defend it. I file annual financial disclosures, campaign finance reports, and have to face the scrutiny of public opinion.
It’s time Pakistani women are able to stand up and hold their oppressors accountable, no matter how strong or influential they are. Don’t be scared. They are strong because we are weak – lets change that.
I have a hard time describing myself as a standup comedian because I don’t feel like I’m doing stand up jokes more than I am acting like a person who has a bad point of view.
I’ve always had a ‘stand up for the people’ type of personality.
When I look at Washington today, we need to bring us together. We need to solve problems, we need to rebuild our military so we can stand up to radical Islam, we need to get our economy growing much faster by throwing out the corrupt tax code and lowering the rates.
I’ve seen stand up comedy, and after a while you start to notice that a lot of people are doing things that are like a lot of other people. There can be a bit of a herd mentality, and that’s obviously less interesting because there’s less going on. I’m just being totally frank with you.
I think really what needs to happen is the people of the United States need to stand up and say, ‘Oil is an energy model from the past. It doesn’t work for the planet, it doesn’t work for the people, it never has and it never will.’
