That moment in ‘Broadcast News’ where Holly Hunter is told how great it is to be the smartest person in the room, and she cries and says it’s awful – I definitely have moments like that sometimes, moments when introspection and drive can be lonely-making. And it doesn’t help that I have a partner who is very work-oriented.
My restlessness leaves my mind racing as I try to wind down at the end of mandatory recovery day. It keeps me tossing after poor performances. And if I played well, well… playing well makes me itch to play better; there is always room for improvement.
We didn’t like the idea of Dixie Chick action figures. I mean that’s just the kiss of death for a group. How could a hip teenager enjoy the Dixie Chicks while their little sister is playing with a Martie doll in the other room?
Many more people saw me on TV than will ever get to see me on stage, but I do love being in the same room as the people I’m telling the story to.
Having a female point of view in the room – when you get into a discussion about behavior – who would say what and how they would interact with one another. In certain situations, women are going to have a different opinion on that than men. It made for a really balanced conversation in the room.
Intelligence and courtesy not always are combined; Often in a wooden house a golden room we find.
SiriusXM has had my back ever since day one when I was making remixes in my dorm room at university, and it means a lot that they’re supporting my music as I prepare to release my debut album, ‘Cloud Nine.’
I have this fantasy that in future negotiations over climate change – instead of going into that room and saying, ‘I’m defending Chinese interests,’ or ‘I’m defending Australian interests’ – there will also be an identity inside of each of the negotiators thinking, ‘I’m also defending human interests.’
If you leave me in a room long enough, I’ll redecorate the room.
There are so many songs that I could not sing the way I wanted to. When such songs come on television or radio, I shut them off or leave the room.
For a dinner date, I eat light all day to save room, then I go all in: I choose this meal and this order, and I choose you, the person across from me, to share it with. There’s a beautiful intimacy in a meal like that.
Living indoors without fresh air quickly poisons the blood and makes people feel tired and seedy when they don’t know why. For myself, I sleep out of doors in winter as well as summer. I only feel tired or seedy when I have been indoors a lot. I only catch cold when I sleep in a room.
If we can sacrifice something comfortable, that we’re ‘too good at,’ that might even be holding us back, we’ll have more room to grow into the person we want to be.
I’m very shy really. I spend a lot of time in my room alone reading or writing or watching television.
Especially during the hot weather, we have been so greatly hampered by infections despite our utmost care, and since we have lost so many dogs, I strongly desire more help to keep the place clean and gloves and gowns and a thorough fitting up of our operating room.

When I was younger, in my living room, I used to put ‘Cats’ the stage musical video on and I used to copy Victoria.
When I was 14 -years-old, I made this PowerPoint presentation, and I invited my parents into my room and gave them popcorn. It was called ‘Project Hollywood 2004’ and it worked. I moved to L.A. in January of 2004.
And also I didn’t want my future to be just sitting in a room and be imprisoned in my four walls and just cooking and giving birth to children. I didn’t want to see my life in that way.
Look, if you have somebody who doesn’t have health insurance, who doesn’t have a doctor or dentist, and in order to deal with their cold or flu or dental problem, they go to an emergency room – in general, that visit will cost ten times more than walking into a community health center.
One girl used to call me Brownie and tell me to go back to my own country. At lunch, I’d get a bag of chips from the vending machine and eat it in the storage room so I wouldn’t have to see her.
You should not actually stay in bed for very long awake, because your brain is this remarkably associative device, and it quickly learns that the bed is about being awake. So you should go to another room – a room that’s dim. Just read a book – no screens, no phones – and, only when you’re sleepy, return to the bed.
Yes, sir, I was in the processing room watching them actually process the film.
Just a tiny bit of effort leaves me exhausted. Sometimes I just go up the stairs to my room, and I feel tired.
I always thought I was a little shy, especially compared to my brother and my sister, but I guess I was always the kid doing performances in the front room.
I still find it absurdly difficult to concentrate on a novel if there’s a phone or computer to hand; I have taken to locking them outside the room like noisy pets.
Books do furnish a room.
For me, there’s still a lot of room to grow; I’m just happy that I have so much more to give.
People on the outside see a Neymar on the pitch, but that’s not him. People see him doing tricks and dribbles and think that he is only trying to enjoy himself, that he’s selfish and only thinks about himself. But when you share a dressing room with him you realise that it’s not the case.
There’s no enemy in the auditioning process. Everybody wants you to be the right person when you walk in the room. We’re all just trying to make a soup here, and they’re trying to figure out the right ingredients for the soup.
I think when you have a group of guys that care about the community, the city, care about each other, it just makes for a unique locker room.
We have cultural expectations that everyone needs a dining room, yet they’re only used three times a year. But if I put a bone handle on the door of an upper-end brick home, I’m making an outlandish statement.
There is but little room for doubt that Egypt led the way in the creation of the earliest known group of civilizations which arose on both sides of the land bridge between Africa and Eurasia in the fourth millennium B.C.
The only good thing about going to the fights is you can go into the green room and you can see some of your old friends that you haven’t seen in a long time.
It’s the playoffs. There’s no room for okay.
The touring comic is a lonely soul, sometimes dabbling into conversation with a colleague in the green room, but on the whole, we just stand around and try to cope with the random diversity that comes with the ‘job.’
You played ‘Snake’ on it. That’s what we had a cell phone for, when my mother would let us use it. When you had it, you set it down at the table, you set it down in the other room, we ate, and you enjoyed your time with your family.
The notion of directing a film is the invention of critics – the whole eloquence of cinema is achieved in the editing room.
Growing up in Luton, we’d always eat on a cloth, placed on the floor of the living room, with no TV allowed. There were no chairs back in Bangladesh and Dad wanted to keep the tradition, so we never owned a dining table.
When I’m online, I’m alone in a room, tapping on a keyboard, staring at a cathode-ray tube.
People think that I can just walk into a room and get a job, but of the 200 interviews and auditions I go through a year, I may get three yeses. I just have to use my sense of humour to get me through.
Miley’s always been Noah’s biggest fan. Miley’s always like, ‘I can be in a room until Noah walks in!’ She truly has always had something very special. She probably is the funniest person I know.
There are moments as a teacher when I’m conscious that I’m trotting out the same exact phrase my professor used with me years ago. It’s an eerie feeling, as if my old mentor is not just in the room, but in my shoes, using me as his mouthpiece.
In some ways, I lament the introduction of civilisation on such a huge scale, because it has given us a lot of room to abuse each other, which we continue to do.
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
I think when I listen to old records, it puts me back in the atmosphere of what it felt like to make the record and who was there and what the room looked like. It’s more a sensory memory.
One day I was teaching my class and then I had to go to the White House right after, so literally, I took my dress to school. After my classes I went into the ladies room, changed into my outfit, got into the car, went to the White House. So there are real, you know, Superman moments!
It’s not always the player that’s talking in the dressing room that becomes a good manager. It’s a feeling that you need to develop, it’s a feeling that needs to grow on you.
When I was a kid, I used to do my homework in the living room, where there was a picture window. I was hoping that someone would walk by and see me looking very studious in my living room.
Exercise is key, of course, and people wrongly think you have to spend hours a day in the gym. Actually, you don’t. All you need is simple equipment, and you can train in your living room.
A room is like a stage. If you see it without lighting, it can be the coldest place in the world.
