There is only room in the lifeboat of your life for one, and you always choose yourself, and turn your parents into whatever it takes to keep you afloat.
I’m not a very glamorous person. I like to just sit alone in a room and read a book or meditate.
I’ll do very light, very easy yoga in my dressing room. I like to just lay down on the floor and put my legs on the wall and stretch and just be still.
The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.
There is no science in creativity. If you don’t give yourself room to fail, you won’t innovate.
The manager is by himself. He can’t mingle with his players. I enjoyed my players, but I could not socialize with them so I spent a lot of time alone in my hotel room. Those four walls kind of close in on you.
Death is staring too long into the burning sun and the relief of entering a cool, dark room.
One of the advantages of going to a small school is that you’re expected to be the man. They have to give you the ball, and there’s more room for error in a situation where you can play your way through mistakes (and no matter how good you are, this is a valuable coping skill at the NBA level).
I think there is always room for improvement.
The girl in the room, no matter her shape or size, that is laughing, having fun and enjoying life is the one you want to be around.
My dad had a guitar that he gave me. I went to Walmart and bought a chord chart and hung it up in my room, and I was just trying to figure out how to play the guitar and put words with what I was learning.
I shared a dressing room with Pete Postlethwaite for 18 months, and he became a good friend. His discipline had an impact on me. You could have a laugh with him, but he was always on the ball when it came to work and very professional. Hopefully some of that rubbed off on me.
I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.
There was a girl knocking on my hotel room door all night! Finally, I let her out.
As soon as you get two actors in a room and they’re locking eyes, they’re doing a scene.
I’ve always been attracted to the ‘don’t follow the rules’ type of girl, the rocker girl. I’ve always been attracted to somebody who you can lose yourself in the moment with. You can hang out with her, and it’s like you’re the only two people in the room.
I was never the smartest guy in the room. From the first person I hired, I was never the smartest guy in the room. And that’s a big deal. And if you’re going to be a leader – if you’re a leader and you’re the smartest guy in the world – in the room, you’ve got real problems.
Any film I’ve made, I’ve only really begun to understand in the cutting room. That’s when the story shows itself to you, like a wreck coming out of the sea.
Concrete you can mold, you can press it into – after all, you haven’t any straight lines in your body. Why should we have straight lines in our architecture? You’d be surprised when you go into a room that has no straight line – how marvelous it is that you can feel the walls talking back to you, as it were.
I directed a short series for Hulu called ‘Paloma,’ and being in an editing room, I learned a lot about acting. It gave me a new bolt of energy in terms of my interest in filmmaking because it made me realize how collaborative filmmaking can be and also that you’re not just limited to one job.
Death can’t be considered because, if you’re afraid to die, there’s no room in your life to make discoveries.
You can’t complain about your dressing room or you’ll look like Celine Dion.
The world organization debates disarmament in one room and, in the next room, moves the knights and pawns that make national arms imperative.
There’s no room for being a visionary in the studio system. It literally cannot exist.
Honestly, I don’t believe in menswear. I focus on what pieces are most timeless, transcendent, match my lifestyle, remain remarkable, and command intriguing attention across the room at an art gallery.
If you don’t address race, then people are like, ‘Why don’t you talk about the elephant in the room?’ But you have to do it right. It can’t be gimmicky.
Women have a favorite room, men a favorite chair.
What I say in the dressing room always stays there.
A room is not a room without natural light.
I try to approach reading in front of millions of people as I would reading in somebody’s living room.
I like simplicity. I like using natural sources. I like images to look natural – as though somebody sitting in a room by a lamp is being lit by that lamp.
I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man’s being unable to sit still in a room.
As a woman of color, I always have to be at 150 percent and better than everybody in the room to be considered competent.
It’s difficult for me to really temper my personality, but I am trying to be a little more sensible about it. If I really lose my temper, I go to my room and scream and shout, but I try not to lose it on people any more. I’ve never said something mean just like that. I’ve only said things in retaliation.
I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies.
The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.
When you enter a room, you have to kiss his ring. I don’t mind, but he has it in his back pocket.
This is the sense of the desert hills, that there is room enough and time enough.
I want to walk into a room, be it a hospital for the dying or a hospital for the sick children, and feel that I am needed. I want to do, not just to be.
When Mozart is playing in my room, I am in conjunction with something I can’t explain… I don’t need to. I know that if there’s a purpose for life, it was for me to hear Mozart.
My favorite thing is to be alone in a room with a blank paper in front of me and the time to fill it.
My love of performing goes way back. My mom got me on ‘Romper Room’ when I was five – it was my favorite show. But they couldn’t control me. I would run up and smack the camera, and I’d jump around and do my little flips and routines. I wish I could get that tape now.
I got into gambling when I was playing a casino. I was a hermit in those days. I would go onstage, go to my room, or if we had to travel, I’d get in a car or a plane, whatever. But I didn’t do anything. One day, this friend of mine said, ‘Do you want to play some blackjack?’
Dancing – however you do it, even if it’s in your living room – is a great workout.
I’m spending way too much time test running my Vine videos. I’ll go into a room and close the door and be in there for an hour workshopping a Vine video that I never even post. So that’s probably a huge time suck.
You go through all the training camps, all the blood and sweat and tears. I think you play for the guys in the locker room. We don’t play for anybody else.
The service we render others is the rent we pay for our room on earth.
All human evil comes from a single cause, man’s inability to sit still in a room.
We ain’t got no room for the hate no more. That’s got to go out of the window real quick.
Everyone always says, ‘Kristen got ‘Panic Room’ because she looks like Jodie Foster.’ But it was actually Nicole Kidman who was supposed to play my mother.
Any time you get two people in a room who disagree about anything, the time of day, there is a scene to be written. That’s what I look for.
I don’t know if it has set in or not. Honestly, it’s crazy. It’s such an amazing honor. I remember thinking back to being in my room waiting for the call to see if I got the part. It’s like winning the lottery. I’m proud to be a member of such an amazing cast – that’s the best award of all.
It’s always good to walk in a room and know everybody kind of looks up to you because I guess I’ve earned it.
I travel with a bunch of battery packs because I don’t always have time to charge my phone at the hotel room when I’m traveling. I always change them, so I never run out of battery.
Exile is more than a geographical concept. You can be an exile in your homeland, in your own house, in a room.
Sleeping is one of the more private aspects of parenting; it happens in a quiet room, whereas eating is a more public aspect of parenting. Other people can see it and compare it to what their kids eat.
I’ve been fortunate most of the seven promotions I’ve won have been with sides I built from zero, so it is doubly rewarding. There is nothing to match being in the dressing room celebrating promotion after a long season with a group of lads you have put together.
I think the whole question of meaning in music is difficult enough even if you hear me playing live right now in the same room! What I mean and what you take from it may be two quite different things anyway.
I find myself wanting to make music at the dining room table or in the bedroom – I’m kind of a mobile writer, so I sort of move around the house. But the attic is definitely where I can make the most noise. While everyone on the lower floors screams ‘Earthquake!’ But no! It’s just my bass!
I just think that all of us in this room should have a voice in how the USA is represented. And he don’t allow us our voice, that’s all I’m saying.
I’m not creating an enigma or leaving mystery, I’m just respecting myself enough as an artist to give myself room to grow and not to be devoured all in one go.
