In real life, there’s nobody more out than Sean. It was just in the press that he didn’t want to say one way or another. I think he just felt it was nobody’s business, but I feel like he came to it in his own time.
Actors, you know, they’re often awkward people in real life.
Last week I was in London at an awards show, then I flew home and was in an RV park with my wife and kids in our motorhome, this week I’m in NY doing a charity event, and tomorrow I’ll be coaching my daughters soccer practice. I guess the range of roles I play on film stem from the range of roles I play in real life.
I am not gay in real life.
People in real life cuss God out when they’re angry. That’s all real.
To make theater out of real life, you need to catch dialogue when it happens.
A man’s real life is that accorded to him in the thoughts of other men by reason of respect or natural love.
I don’t want real life necessarily to be seen only as a context to heighten the deepness my work.
I know that’s why I became an actress. In my dream world, I could get mad and scream and yell, and if somebody died, they got up again. In real life, I didn’t dare try it.
I wouldn’t be face-washing anyone in real life. I’d be skating to the bench real fast to get away.
We all want to be someone else but without ceasing to be ourselves. I think it’s very important to defend this idea in real life too.
In real life, a relationship takes a long time. Either somebody is involved with somebody else, and that’s ending, or somebody’s hung up on an ex, or your job isn’t going right, and so you’re focused more on that than relationships. It just takes a lot for two people to get together.
I will say, as southern women, there is a southern way of life that inspires a lot of music. I can see why that’s a common thread through music, but the best part about country is it’s about real life. It’s not about this glamorous Lamborghini, walking around with gold necklaces, all that stuff.
Movies are magical. It transcends a lot of hate or human faults in real life because of the fantasy of it all.
If you are going to tell a story about a child going missing, it’s going to have similarities with a real life child going missing.
I don’t often wear mascara in real life, but on-set or backstage, if I’m crying or even if my eyes get watery, I get a Q-Tip, and I wet it with a few drops of water. Then I go lash by lash and clean it up.
As long as I can wear a wig I can be any character, and in real life I can be myself.
Oh, I’m quite harmless in real life.
I’ve been in so many love triangles on TV and in real life.
Discomfort levels in our societies are rising, or so it would seem. In theory, we invoke diversity and tolerance. But in real life, we raise our hackles and withdraw into ourselves.
In a compass, we got north, south, east and west, right? But in between that, you got things like north-east – now that, to me, is where real life is. Everybody’s life is not straight: it’s often 30 degrees to your left, or in the hardest part of the reach.
When I read both pilots for ‘Breaking Bad’ and the ‘Michael J. Fox Show,’ I turned to my husband in real life, and I’m like, ‘That is an amazing script.’
I have very vivid dreams, and often – this happens to me at least a few times a week – I don’t know if something happened in real life or in a dream. I’m like, ‘Mom, did this neighbor come over, or was it a dream?’ And she’s like, ‘No, what are you talking about?’
I’m a real dumb-dumb in real life. I’m just book smart. But definitely not street smart. The other day I lost my jacket in a cab. And I’ll forget things every time I leave the house.
My life. The life I’m living that’s where all my inspiration comes from. Real life experiences.
In real life, I don’t fall in love with the guy who wines and dines me, I fall in love with the flaws and the humanity.
Just about this time, when in imagination I was so great a warrior, I had good use in real life for more strength, as I was no longer taken to school by the nurse, but instead had myself to protect my brother, two years my junior.
More and more, the things we do in real life will end up as Facebook posts. And while we may be consoled by the fact that most of this stuff is being posted just to our friends, it only takes one friend to share that information with his or her friends to start a viral chain.
I am very ambitious and have set goals for myself. I really don’t keep a tab on what my contemporaries are doing. I want to push myself as an actress and don’t want to get into the rat race. With every film, I want to grow as a person and an actress. The character I play needs to change me in real life.
I was kind of a MySpace kid in high school, and people thought since I had so many MySpace friends that they didn’t need to be nice to me in real life. They were like, ‘You get enough attention online,’ or they were jealous or something. I don’t really know.
Successful fiction does not need to be validated by ‘real life’; I cringe whenever a writer is asked how much of a novel is ‘real’.
I like to read away as much of the afternoon as possible, until real life rears its ugly head.
I love escaping into character. It’s a chance to try on people that you wouldn’t be brave or stupid enough to be in real life.
When I read something, I picture that scene in that detail. That becomes very similar to composing a photo in real life.
In real life we don’t know what’s going to happen next. So how can you be that way on a stage? Being alive to the possibility of not knowing exactly how everything is going to happen next – if you can find places to have that happen onstage, it can resonate with an experience of living.
I am not one to go for traditional female roles, because I don’t think traditionally female characters are very interesting, and I don’t think they represent real life.
I’d like to challenge Ryback to a match – in real life – just to see. I think I could take him, but I wonder how Ryback would react to getting slapped.
When I saw ‘Louie’ and ‘Girls’, I was blown out of the water. They were fearless portrayals of real life. Everyone has a different experience.
Personally, in real life, I’m a little more down-and-dirty than I am glamorous.
I don’t believe in pretending to be someone else. I’m what I actually am in real life. For instance, like any normal girl, I fight with my mother. I mean, it is just fine. In fact, I fight daily with my mother.
I think it’s important to be friends with the person you have to kiss onstage in front of a hundred people. You might not be friends in real life – especially if you’re in high school – but you need to at least be ‘secret friends’ for it to work. Try to be comfortable with each other.
I think that I write about stuff that others don’t write about. I don’t have a bunch of love songs cuz I don’t really have much boy experience. I just write about what I am actually going through in my real life.
It may be very difficult to keep the virtues of purity, passion, and sacrifice of love in real life.
I’ve been in so many writing workshops where someone hands in a story, and when the other writers in the workshop are giving feedback, they say, ‘This is unbelievable.’ And the writer says, ‘Well, actually, the events are based in real life. This actually happened.’
The image you see of me out in public is really different from who I am in real life.
I have found great power in taking my ‘difference’ out for a spin in a very public way. And usually, the worst, most personally embarrassing thing you imagine in your mind is often not anywhere near as bad in real life.
My thing about going to the gym is that I leave my bracelets on, and I put on my makeup the way I would do it in real life, and I wear cute clothes, because if I don’t feel good when I leave the house, then I’m not motivated to do it. I need to like how I look while I’m doing it.
I think love is a huge factor in fiction and in real life. Is there a risk? Always. In fiction and in life.
I’m curious. Period. I find everything interesting. Real life. Fake life. Objects. Flowers. Cats. But mostly people. If you keep your eyes open and your mind open, everything can be interesting.
The idea of the ‘lone gamer’ is really not true anymore. Up to 65 percent of gaming now is social, played either online or in the same room with people we know in real life.
Doing comedy is very challenging, as I am a shy person in real life.
Playing tough characters just comes easy for me. It’s not who I am in real life, so I love going to work and pretending to be something I’m not. I love all the action and confidence. But when I finally go do a rom-com, I hope my fans will support me.
People in real life don’t get ballplayers’ humor, the way we talk in the clubhouse.
It’s still a trip for me to see somebody that I’ve only seen on television or in a movie. When they are there in real life, it’s very different. When we played Detroit, Kevin Costner played before us.
You get annoyed about things in real life, and then the tragic thing is that while you are moaning on the awful injustice and suffering of something, something grimly comic will then strike you about it, like a parasite feeding off the misery of the world.
I’ve always loved the way movie stars in the Forties looked when they were off set. Shot poolside or at their home, they always wore a matte red lipstick with practically no foundation – it was how they wore makeup in real life.
