It’s very rare that stand-up comics have kids, because once they do, they stop doing stand-up.
I am a rare occasion. I think if everyone had known it was going be me who succeeded, they would have supported me a lot more. They would have known what to do with me a lot earlier. They just didn’t know.
People ask ‘How does doing a film compare to doing an ad?’ Well, when you’re doing a commercial you don’t have to sell tickets. You have a captured audience. Which is actually completely rare and great; it gives you a lot of freedom. When you make a film, you have to do advertisements for the film.
If the white folks feel America is great for everybody, I don’t want to change what they love. All I want is to bring my love and respect in the areas of law, policy, business, and banking. That’s what I do when I do my extremely rare lectures at universities.
It’s rare in Hollywood to get the chance to work on something that you actually care about. The tragedy of the place is all these talented people trying to get excited about stuff they themselves would only view at gunpoint.
Police use of deadly force is rare in America. You wouldn’t know that by listening to some of the blowhards out there: the newspaper, the mainstream media, the race hustlers. They make it seem like this stuff happens several times a day. It’s rare.
Players who create advantages for their team at one end or the other are rare.
So many times you see beautiful lovemaking scenes with a lot of exposure or an awkward lovemaking scene, but I think it’s very rare that you see it private.
Cinema is a thankless industry where sometimes to appear on the cinematic scenery is a thing for late bloomers and people who are very patient. The places are accounted, and the space is often unwelcoming. Money is rare, and independent voices are muted by the almost complete absence of risk takers.
A well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one.
The bravest person I’ve ever met was a young boy going through massive amounts of treatment for a very rare, complex and unpleasant disease. I last saw him at a Discworld convention, where he chose to take part in a game as an assassin. He died not long afterwards, and I wish I had his fortitude and sense of style.
There are some situations in life that are simply not funny, and there’s nothing funny about them, but they’re rare, and they don’t last all that long.

Obama is the rare Democrat who talks easily about faith and values and who does so without upsetting those offended by the mixture of religion and politics.
I’ve chosen a career that’s quite tricky. You have such high highs and low lows, and it’s outrageously inconsistent. But it is what I love, which is so rare, and I’m so grateful for that every day.
I wrote ‘The Match,’ my cricket novel, between 2002 and 2005. In retrospect, almost an age of innocence in cricket and a time when it was rare to find the game deep in fiction.
To have a job you can count on as an actor is so rare, whether that means belonging to a regional theater company or being on TV.
If you want to maximize your expected utility, you try to save the world and the future of intergalactic civilization instead of donating your money to the society for curing rare diseases and cute puppies.
I can fake decent penmanship, but generally, it’s really just terrible. And, unfortunately for me, maybe fortunately for the reader, it’s very often illegible. If I get an idea, and if I do remember to write it down, which is rare, I write in such a way that I can’t read a letter.
It’s rare that I turn down a photo or autograph, because these are the people that support me, so why not support them. I love it and I invite it. I love what I do and the whole ‘celebrity’ life and all that.
I do occasionally encounter a British business that delivers what and when, and for exactly the price, they promised. But commercial paragons in the U.K. are rare.

It’s really rare in life that a situation is as black and white as we tend to paint it.
I went to Dartmouth College so simply by being an Indian-American woman, I was already so statistically interesting. And then the fact that I didn’t want to do anything science-related, and I wanted to write comedy plays and act little bit – I mean, I became deeply interesting in college because of how rare that was.
There are not many A-list directors who get to make the movies they want to make. I know two: Woody Allen and Tim Burton. Two different textures, but both get to do what they want, and that’s rare.
The entertainment industry is loaded with extraordinarily talented people. But the true, genuine originals, they’re rare.
I love color, so it’s rare to see me without at least a pop of a hot pink or bold red, even if it’s just a lip color pop!

Continuity is a wonderful thing, and it is a very rare thing in show business.
If you’re a goal scorer, you have to have a certain attitude. I’m very serious. My missus thinks I’m a bit weird. I’m cold, I don’t have many emotions. It’s very rare I cry.
Megyn Kelly is one of those rare women who seamlessly combines professional excellence and family. She doesn’t need a catch phrase to define what she instinctively has accomplished. She just ‘does it.’
I’m not happy on vacation. In those rare times when I have three hours with no work I have to do, I’m terribly uncomfortable.
Well, I think first it was rare for me to do anything that had any kind of a romantic note to it.
United Artists wanted to do records with me. I had no idea, what a rare thing that was… to make an album. And they put a guy with me working on songs, and I got busy with films. I just kind of let it slide. Isn’t that amazing?
Frankly, there is not much demand from home and I don’t socialise much – no partying, get-togethers and very rare wedding appearances.
Suddenly, as rare things will, it vanished.
It seems like in the beginning of my flight, the space dreams were rare. And now, almost 150 days into it, the Earth dreams are more of the rare ones.

Committing unnecessary surgeries is very, very rare. And it’s very wrong.
Music was always ever present when I was growing up, and it’s continued to be the most important and intrinsic part of me. It kept me from going off the rails as a kid, and it gave me rare purpose and self-confidence that I couldn’t find from anything else.
I always liked different things, rare things.
I always like Madonna; any Madonna song is good for me. Old school Janet Jackson is always good. I usually go old school. It’s very rare that I pick a song from nowadays.
Limit Hold’em is the game for you if you bore easily and crave fast action. Conversely, in No Limit, the game will often slow to a halt when someone is faced with a big decision. That’s uncommon in Limit games because all-in bets are rare.
There have been only rare moments in history where individual histories were able to run their course without wars or revolutions.
You’d see Asian faces on TV, but it was so rare, especially in the comedy space – that for me was Ken Jeong doing stand-up… it’s amazing that I can call him a friend now and a colleague.
My audience is made up of such bizarre, rare people. They’re very sparse and scattered; it’s not like a huge body of people.

Gay rights are not primarily marriage rights, and for the millions who live in unaccepting places with no resources, dignity remains elusive. I am lucky to have forged meaning and built identity, but that’s still a rare privilege. And gay people deserve more, collectively, than the crumbs of justice.
The daily act of writing remains as demanding and maddening as it was before, and the pleasure you get from writing – rare but profound – remains at the true heart of the enterprise. On their best days, writers all over the world are winning Pulitzers, all alone in their studios, with no one watching.
It’s rare that I come across actors who are willing to work as hard on the material as I am.
I think, the world over, new ideas have come from young people. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but it is rare that new or radical ideas come from old people.
