Anyone who thinks there’s safety in numbers hasn’t looked at the stock market pages.
I am such a diehard romantic. I guess a part of me thinks I am Juliet.
My son thinks I’m hilarious, but he’s only 1.
The artist doesn’t really think about consequences – he or she does the work, stands back and looks at and thinks, ‘Hmm, that could have worked better like this.’ But as a person who needs to sell tickets to do the next work, one needs to analyze how it does or does not hit its mark.
I don’t think anyone sits down and thinks, ‘I know, I’ll be a chick-lit writer.’ You write the book that you want to write and then other people say, ‘Oh, that’s chick-lit.’ You say, ‘Okay.’ But it’s not like you look around and go to a careers fair and there will be someone at the chick-lit author stand.
Even before I went to the UN, I often would want to say something in a meeting – only woman at the table – and I’d think, ‘OK well, I don’t think I’ll say that. It may sound stupid.’ And then some man says it, and everybody thinks it’s completely brilliant, and you are so mad at yourself for not saying something.
I think everyone thinks their dad is a little bit odd or crazy. As they get older, they develop their own little habits. They have a certain way that they like to live their life, and nothing is going to interrupt that.
And when you’re on your own there is that terrifying possibility that you may be the only person on the planet who thinks it’s funny – and you have no way of finding out.
The one thing I did know – because I’ve seen many, many of the road trip movies that everyone thinks about – is that death to a road trip movie happens when you spend too much time in the car.
What I would like is to at least have a discussion with the coach, that he tells me what he thinks. I have to know.
As for me, I want to have fun while I’m working. Now not everyone thinks physics is fun, but I do. I think experimental physics is especially fun, because not only do you get to solve puzzles about the universe or on Earth, there are really cool toys in the lab.
What I think and what the world thinks is totally different.
I’m originally from southern California, so I, like, say ‘like’, like, a lot. I’ve been trying to scrub any traces of Valley Girl from my speech since I moved to New York, but it’s, like, totally way harder than anyone thinks, you know?
As an artist, I want to interpret my feelings – not run across the street and ask what my mother thinks.
I do what I love, thank God. I get to make music and get inspiration through Judaism. I can see why people might be surprised, because it’s not been done before. It’s certainly not typical. People are always trying to wrap head their around it. But it’s probably simpler than everyone thinks.
I won’t eat veal, and my mum won’t eat lamb, because she thinks it’s a bit harsh to eat cute things.
I like to feel sexy. I know my husband thinks I’m sexy. I think he is too. But I don’t go out half-naked with ‘sex’ written across my back.
When I was in graduate school, I had a teacher who said to me, ‘Women writers should marry somebody who thinks writing is cute. Because if they really realised what writing was, they would run a mile.’
Texting is very loose in its structure. No one thinks about capital letters or punctuation when one texts, but then again, do you think about those things when you talk?
There is a real sense of anger among many people who are married that the government, any government, thinks it has the ability to change the definition of an institution like marriage.

In any dispute, each side thinks it’s in the right and the other side is demons.
You know I don’t care if the world thinks I’m smart or not.
If you ask an introvert a question, wait until she thinks about it. Introverts think before speaking, not through speaking. If you want to get to the good stuff, you need to slow down.
Yes, I know that you feel you are not strong enough. That’s what the enemy thinks too. But we’re gonna fool them.
It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living.
For me, romance isn’t an over-the-top act. It’s someone offering to help and to support me. Or if that person thinks I’m making the wrong decision, he’ll tell me. I want him to be honest, because being that honest takes a lot of guts.
When I watch a guy I know is a big Republican, part of me thinks I probably wouldn’t like this person if I met him, or we would have different opinions.
I cling to the idea that Herman Melville had to work at the end of his career watching ships in a dock, as a shipping agent in New York. Any writer who thinks they should be given patronage because of their gift… you don’t have to look too far in history to see that’s just not the case.
When I want to know what France thinks, I ask myself.
To really change the way society thinks, you have to give your entire being to it until there’s nothing left.
I agreed with everything he was saying when he ran for president. I was listening to what he said. I go, this guy thinks like me and I agree with him. Now he’s changing. All he keeps saying is millionaires and billionaires don’t pay their fair share of taxes.
In any event, the proper question isn’t what a journalist thinks is relevant but what his or her audience thinks is relevant. Denying people information they would find useful because you think they shouldn’t find it useful is censorship, not journalism.
The mother is the one who is going to help you in the long run! You must make her your friend. It matters what she thinks.
What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope… It is not a reflection of all religious people.
I am funny. No one else thinks I am funny. But I am funny.
I’ve only been in one fight in my whole life… in 7th grade, yet everyone thinks I’m a maniac.
Whatever one thinks of the wisdom of building a mosque near Ground Zero, this controversy now affords us an immense opportunity to examine who we are as a people. It provides us with the opportunity to get back to our foundational ideals, which have always stood as a beacon for the rest of the world.
I think 1:59 is something a human being can run. Or 1:58. Who knows?! If someone trains very well and thinks in a good way, then they can do anything.
Every fighter thinks about their legacy, and I’m not any different.
American management thinks that they can just copy from Japan. But they don’t know what to copy.
When I was in my 20s, I thought that being known for ‘Swimming Pool’ was kind of a burden. Like, ‘OK, everyone thinks I am this tanned bimbo,’ and I was having problems coping with that image.
The beautiful thing about poker is that everybody thinks they can play.
There are obviously a lot of negative connotations that go along with being a Diva. But to me, being a Diva is someone who takes care of herself, that looks fabulous, is always on point with her fashion, and doesn’t care what anybody thinks.
I’m not the guy that thinks I’m a perfect singer.
I’m one of those people who thinks you can have a happy life and still be an artist.
Whoever thinks of going to bed before twelve o’clock is a scoundrel.
Anyone who thinks they stand apart from society and defies all which govern its existence has less in common with the lone wolf patriot standing up to dystopic forces of oppression – a myth – and more in common with the disease known as cancer – a harsh reality.
Happy is harder than money. Anybody who thinks money will make you happy hasn’t got money.
I suppose the White House thinks it’s doing what Big Business wants, but it will lead to vastly increased taxes, because all these guest workers are to be allowed to bring their children.
Whenever I play something, everybody just thinks that’s who I am.
I think sadly that Morse thinks that he can exist on his own and he only realises at the end that he can’t and never really has been able to. I feel sorry for him.
The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.
No one who’s white thinks he’s innocent. No one who’s black thinks he’s guilty.
I’m one of those people who thinks that changing one’s hair is the only part of the body that you can change at will.

A man is what he thinks about all day long.
I don’t think any musician ever thinks about making a statement. I think everybody goes into music loving it.
The president is entitled to try to persuade Congress and the American people to pursue whatever policies he thinks are needed. But he is not entitled to shut down the government when he fails to persuade us.
I’m 43 now. I’ve reached the point where I really can’t care what anyone thinks. Of course, I do. I’m an actress. I’m totally insecure, but I’m trying to stick to my guns about what is important to me, and it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks I should or shouldn’t do.
