You never know really what anyone thinks about you – that’s why all my closest friends are ones I’ve had since my schooling days when I was 5. And I surround myself with people who I trust and who know me.
I’m really a cool, mellow guy. I’m not as crazy as everybody thinks.
Between the fear that something would happen and the hope that still it wouldn’t, there is much more space than one thinks. On that narrow, hard, bare and dark space a lot of us spend their lives.
I do what I wanna do and I see who I wanna see. And when you get into your forties, it’s like being a teenager again, really. Everyone else in their forties thinks they can chat to you.
Intuition enlightens and so links up with pure thought. They together become an intelligence which is not simply of the brain, which does not calculate, but feels and thinks.
When I began my practice, I said I’m going to be a pediatrician that really thinks about and understands a child’s educational trajectory.
The orphan in children’s literature allows the child protagonist to move the story forward themselves. I think that, however happy a family, every intelligent child thinks: ‘How did I come to be born to these parents?’ – it is about finding your place in the world.
The human being is a most curious creature. He thinks he has got one soul, and he has got dozens.
Let your tongue speak what your heart thinks.
I don’t know who in my family thinks very fast at all, including me. The things that people see me do onstage are written, so it doesn’t have to be very quick if you have all day with a pen.
I think the average guy thinks they’re pro-woman, just because they think they’re a nice guy and someone has told them that they’re awesome. But the truth is far from it.
What is sad to me is not what Bill Nye thinks about me. What I found really unfortunate is that after presenting my stand on God’s Word, there were a number of Christians who were more complimentary of Bill Nye than of me because Bill Nye was defending evolution and billions of years.
I’m a big cat person. It’s one of those things that’s like, everybody that knows me thinks it’s so weirdly apparent and obvious.
The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true.
At some shows, the set list gets changed while we are on stage. I know Ed thinks about the set very hard throughout the day in order to make the best show possible for the fans and for us.
The thing I’m the most proud of in my personal life is that my daughter actually thinks that I’m fabulous.
Can you imagine a guy breaking into your car, and he steals your guitar case ’cause he thinks it’s a guitar, and he gets it home and opens it up and there’s a rake inside it, an electric toilet plunger and a dog skull? That actually happened.
When Steven Spielberg thinks you’re the one, then I’ll do anything. If you want me to put a dead horse on my head, I’ll do it.
When all men think alike, no one thinks very much.
When any of us thinks of ourselves as a role model – whether that’s as a parent being observed by their kids or a leader under the microscope of their followers – it creates a natural stepping up of how we carry ourselves and what we expect from ourselves.
The soul never thinks without a picture.
Anyone who thinks you can pay $3,100 to the federal government and thinks you can get that money back completely in services – like I said – he may go to M-I-T but he is an N-U-T.
I’ve always been the type of person that thinks, ‘If someone else can do it, so can I.’
Obama hates selling. He thinks people should just accept the right thing to do.
You set up a story and it turns inside out and that is, for me, the most exciting sort of story to write. The viewer thinks it’s going to be about something and it does the opposite.
We’re all biased, right, in many different ways – politically, religiously, ideologically, the way our family raised us – and that’s fine. Nobody wants to live in a world where everybody thinks exactly the same. The key, though, is to try to figure out where your biases are holding you back from solving problems.
Anyone who thinks ‘Modern Times’ has got a big message is just putting it there himself. Charlie knew that the pressures of modern life and factory life would be good for a lot of laughs, and that’s why he did the film – not because he wanted to diagnose the industrial revolution.
He that is giddy thinks the world turns round.
I wish to Christ I could make up a really great lie. Sometimes, after an interview, I say to myself, ‘Man, you were so honest – can’t you have some fun? Can’t you do some really down and dirty lying?’ But the puritan in me thinks that if I tell a lie, I’ll be punished.
He knows nothing and thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.
Every horse thinks its own pack heaviest.
Franklin Roosevelt had to govern at a time of crisis. If you’re going to make changes in the way a nation thinks, you have to have the ability to take the crisis of the moment and use it to shape an agenda.
Every man has three characters – that which he exhibits, that which he has, and that which he thinks he has.
There is a type of snobbish, pompous journalist who thinks that the only news that has any validity is war, famine, pestilence or politics. I don’t come from that school.
After a show, I’ll get the 16-year-old white kid whose lip is pierced, his head is shaved and his parents hate him, and the young gangster from the screwed-up ‘hood, and they say that now they realize there’s someone out there who thinks like they do.
Draco’s not really a bully. He’s not exactly the biggest, strongest guy in the world. He’s more a rich, snobby person. He thinks of himself as really cool.
Modesty, tis a virtue not often found among poets, for almost every one of them thinks himself the greatest in the world.
I know me, and those close to me know me. But sadly, the outside world thinks I’m some kind of a crook.
Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.
Usually, one’s cooking is better than one thinks it is.
A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch.
I think in the world of Internet trolls, people can shake your confidence really easily, with just one comment. As long as you can stand behind your work, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks!
However, no two people see the external world in exactly the same way. To every separate person a thing is what he thinks it is – in other words, not a thing, but a think.
A man’s as miserable as he thinks he is.
I am not an intellectual. An intellectual is someone who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso, whereas I just say ‘pass the mustard’.
When I play a good guy, I try to explore them and figure out what shapes them and makes them interesting. When I’m playing a bad guy, I try to explore everything that makes them good. No one ever really thinks that they’re a bad guy.
What I was trying to convey there was the kind of waste land that was left after the war. It was a bit like one always thinks of war, you know, stark scenery and no birds, no trees, no leaves, nothing living. And just emptiness.
Everybody thinks performance capture is about thrashing around and doing a lots of movement, but it’s actually about being able to contain and think and be believed in a close-up, as much as anything else.
The thing about villains is most people play them with the shifty eyes and all that, whereas I play them as good guys. ‘Cos everyone thinks they’re a goodie, don’t they?
Why would you envy a man who doesn’t know the names of all the planets, is a ‘high functioning’ sociopath, and has no friends? Because Sherlock Holmes thinks in all the ways we wish we could.
People come up to me and say, ‘It’s too bad the space program got canceled.’ This is not the case, and yet that is what most of the public thinks has happened.
As a prominent trans person, you hope that someone feels they know you and then thinks of you at the polls; you hope to impact the way they act when they encounter a trans person in real life.
A good engineer thinks in reverse and asks himself about the stylistic consequences of the components and systems he proposes.
Hollywood is lacking realness in their female characters. I don’t think I’m the only one who thinks that and wants to change it.
Every man who says frankly and fully what he thinks is doing a public service.
If you want to know what God thinks of money, look at the people He gives it to.
A human being fashions his consequences as surely as he fashions his goods or his dwelling. Nothing that he says, thinks or does is without consequences.
Consensus isn’t just about agreement. It’s about changing things around: You get a proposal, you work something out, people foresee problems, you do creative synthesis. At the end of it, you come up with something that everyone thinks is okay. Most people like it, and nobody hates it.
Everybody always thinks I’m a lesbian because I’m a very tough broad. I have a lot of lesbian fans.
I avoid talking before the youth of the age as I would dancing before them: for if one’s tongue don’t move in the steps of the day, and thinks to please by its old graces, it is only an object of ridicule.
