There are so many people who have this idea of who I am because I’m black.
People sort of went crazy when ‘BTWAM’ came out. I’m happy a bunch of people read it. I’m happy it touched so many people. I’m less happy that it became an object for certain folks or was discussed that way. I’m less happy that journalists started scrolling through my kid’s Instagram account.
Generally, you kiss in a closed room but on a film set you have to do it in front of so many people.
I lived in a little shack in Santa Monica, and I was working on ‘The O.C.’ and when it started airing, I took my laundry down to the laundromat like I always had, and so many people along the two blocks I walked and in the laundromat stopped me and asked me for photographs.
My dad is more credible than almost anybody I know. Growing up, I think I took for granted having a father in my life. I know I shouldn’t have been like that. A lot of my friends didn’t have a father, so for so many people he was the father figure. I look at the way he’s lived his life, sacrificing so much.
Being signed to a major label, it’s a big machine behind you. There are so many people that are working to push the record.
There’s always going to be someone out there who doesn’t like what you do, doesn’t like your style, your face. That’s part of life. But I feed off that. I don’t think I’d be where I am today if it wasn’t for that. It puts a little fire in the belly, keeps me going so I can prove so many people wrong.
July is high burglary season because so many people leave town. To help avoid making that obvious, suspend your newspaper subscription and have your mail held. Another clear indication is if all your lights are off for an extended period. To fix that, you can buy a timer for about $30.
I am committed to helping Alzheimer’s Society in any way I can. My family and I rely on the help of organisations like Alzheimer’s Society to help us understand the disease and guide us in the care of my grandmother. It’s been a privilege to meet so many people with dementia.
I’m very tired, but this is what every filmmaker dreams about: that their $15 million, under-the-radar film is now being seen by so many people.
Whenever I go out, so many people who respect me ask me what to do in a certain situation. A lot of times, I didn’t know the answers because sometimes I was going through the same sort of thing. But then later on, I would think of things that people told me.
My experience tells me, unfortunately, that so many people ask the question about ‘The Smiths’ reforming without really caring about the answer. They just really want to ask the question.
When you’re a pop star, it’s a little conservative; you always have to stay in a box. You have fans that are five and fans that are 65; there are so many people wanting so many things.
We’re given this platform and this voice and this audience. We can either use it for ourselves or we can use it to bring awareness to issues that are going on in the world. I’m definitely on the side of using that microphone for good because you can touch so many people.
I think I’ve watched and been around so many people that are of a high celebrity grade that I’ve attempted to soak in every kind of way to deal with fame.
So many people are focused on reaching the top of an imaginary ladder that they don’t enjoy the climb.
So many people look up to pageants, including young girls and young boys. The message that I would hate to send to them is that you’re only deemed worthy of a title or worthy of recognition or of success if you fit in a certain number.
When you work on a movie, especially an independent movie, it’s a lot of work to make it! It’s not just our job as actors – so many people are working so hard, and even the littlest movie takes a lot of work.
Seriously, ‘Honey Boo Boo’ is the decay of Western civilization. Just because so many people watch the show doesn’t mean it’s good.
On the other hand, there are only so many people who really knew how she was exactly, like what did her accent sound like, and the fact that she developed profound deafness when she was first running the Harriet Lane.
For modern fashion designers, bones are beautiful. I don’t know why, but so many people are obsessed with the skeletal look.
There are so many people, FIFA or whatever, that can do something against this. They should wake up and do it. If there is a racism, those people should be banned from the stadium forever. They should not even enter the stadium anymore. Never again. That’s the first thing they can do.
It’s really cool to know that there are so many people out there that are attached to me or projects that I’ve done to really feel that it’s a personal relationship.
I need to stay busy. Otherwise, I am like so many people, alone with my thoughts, and I can be my own worst enemy.
I think people care. If not, why do so many people spend money going on vacations to see architecture? They go to the Parthenon, to Chartres, to the Sydney Opera House. They go to Bilbao… Something compels them, and yet we live surrounded by everything but great architecture.
I’m not the only one working for democracy in Burma – there are so many people who have worked for it because they believe that this is the only way we can maintain the dignity of our people.
When you’re famous, you have a certain sense of responsibility because so many people are looking at you for inspiration and for influence.
So many people have been abused. It’s not rare; it’s a very common human experience, and we survive.
I’m a lot luckier than most people, although I used to look at it the other way around-that so many people seemed luckier than me.
‘Waterfalls’ spoke to so many people at a time where people needed to feel like somebody was on their side.
I’m a very lucky guy. I had so many people help me over the years that I never had many problems. If I had a problem, I could sit down with someone and they would explain the problem to me, and the problem become like a baseball game.
I certainly know that I would not be able to survive if it were not for the fact that I am being upheld by the prayers of so many people.
The economics favour one-man comedy shows: all you need is one person, a microphone and a PA system. But I’m pleased so many people are making a living out of comedy – it’s a wonderful business to be in.
There are so many people around young kids nowadays it can make it very tough and difficult – people who think they are going to care for those kids but do the opposite.
It’s not easy to be an All-Star, but it’s even more difficult to be loved by so many people and have so many people have your back, especially a guy coming from a small country like Georgia.
When I jumped ship from Roush Racing to Hendrick Motorsports, I couldn’t believe the amount of personnel here that get along with each other. It’s pretty amazing that there are so many people under one roof, where Roush is more spread out and it feels so different.
Part of the reason that the government’s fear mongering is succeeding is because so many people are so ignorant, that it is easier for government to frighten people in submission.
I’ve met so many people of my son’s generation who think a sacrifice is when their satellite or Internet is out for a day and that the country owes them something. That old J.F.K. quote about ‘what you can do for your country,’ doesn’t even seem to apply to so many people.
I would never say I was an icon, but so many people have said I am, so I suppose I am. I mean, I can’t not be what everyone says I am. But I don’t feel like an icon.
I truly did feel that I owed it to my parents, my grandparents, to do whatever it was that I wanted, because if I wasn’t happy, if I wasn’t being true to myself, then I wasn’t living fully. They had given up so much so that I could live at the level that so many people are just automatically born into.
I like the feeling of making things. It’s very very rewarding. And filmmaking is that type of experience, where you’re forced to collaborate with so many people. You’re involved in the beginning to end, you’re involved with so many elements, and when it’s done, you’re like, ‘I made this movie.’
I’ve made so many people angry that they kind of blur into one unpleasant memory of people staring at you with somewhere between passive aggression and active aggression.
I am flattered that so many people have resonated with my style and that beauty and fashion standards in the media continue to grow in their inclusivity and reflection of the real world.
It’s nerve wracking being in the stadium with so many people supporting.
So many people are busy working now, but we need to go back to the old days when grandma and the neighbors helped raise the children, and we were all the better for it.
When you make a movie, it’s up to so many things and so many people.
It’s amazing how confused and distracted and misdirected so many people are.
I’m always fascinated when people really fervently believe, because I have such a hard time believing anything. When people have real faith in something, it’s fascinating to me. And the fact that so many people, in surveys, so many people say they do. It kind of blows my mind.
So many people are on television that don’t know me, and they’re like experts on me.
If you dance alone on the streets, people might call you crazy, but when so many people dance together, it’s a party.
